Autumn's child is catchin' hell. For having been too naïve to tell. Property rights from chapel bells. There's nothing we can do. We could not get there in time.
Cinnamon hills. Sweet child. And waves of whisper blue. Earth calls to you. Every day in every way. Momma's puttin' on some warpaint. For a little bit of combat.
There's peace of mind. Now that I draw the line. Will you be runnin' out of fools?. My love's got new rules. This time. . Because friends and lovers. Could give the sun to each other.
You don't have your own. You're livin' through others. Toss and turn at night. But you play it demure. And what's more. You don't think you've got the right.
Are you sincere when you say "I love you?". Are you sincere when you say "I'll be true?". Do you mean every word that my ears have heard?. I'd like to know which way to go, will our love grow?.
In the spring of my life she came to me. She brought sunshine where winter winds had blown. Then I took her for my wife in the spring of my life. And she brought me a joy I'd never known.
All the good times are past and gone all the good times are past and gone. All the good times are past and gone what's left for a poor boy to do. . I can still see my mama bend over that ol' washpot.
Another love has ended (another love has ended). Like so many in the past (a million loves in the past). And people now are saying ( everybody's saying).
Alimony alimony work till my fingers are bloody and boney. Me oh my oh goodness sake I'm paying for my mistake. Ali-money I call it ali-money you married men may think it's funny.
Gather 'round, cats, and I'll tell you a story. About how to become an All American Boy. Buy you a guitar and put it in tune. You'll be rockin' and rollin' soon..
I'm calling from the station and I haven't got much time to let you know. Got a ticket for Missouri and there's things I need to say before I go. If I could I'd have you meet me but I don't see how I can.
Oh, the sound of the thing is not a ring. It's more like a pleasant purr. And the only sound I hear at night. Is the sound of my purring air-conditioner.
'Neath your feet you feel the world is shaking. And your dreams slowly sifting thro' your hand. But there's a place you'll never be forsaken. I'm a warm fire burning, not a candle in the wind..
Abilene, Abilene prettiest town I've ever seen. Women there don't treat you, mean in Abilene my Abilene. Crowded cities ain't nothing free nothing in this town for me.
Here am I a beggar. I never thought it would turn out like this. I'd be begging for your kiss. But I must have your love. . Here am I a beggar. I've reached the point of no return.
I pull the sheets over my head. The one that keeps me lying in bed. The one that dreams of yesterday,. When we were calm and free. . I bring my eyes into my face.
Tears to a smile. It's a brand new day. Roads take a turn. I think I found my way. . Words don't always say what they mean. Whisper a prayer.. what will it bring ?.
When, when the first light finally broke. and I could see. Lost, I wasn't lost at all, just wasn't. where I thought I'd be. . If I'm strong enough. if I live long enough.
I was over in Aberdeen. On my way to New Orleans. Well the Aberdeen women told me. They would give me my gasoline. Aberdeen is my home. But they just don't want me around.
