Your face suddenly aged. When you heard the news that day. I found you standing in the dark. Before you try to break my heart. . You know I see you, what's been and gone.
They told me you wouldn't make it. They didn't know who you were that day. Dragged you out in the open. Tiny bones and a fragile frame. . From the moment we knew you.
It's just a small cafe, I'm here most everyday. At the junction of heartbreak road. I guess it's very clear, it's you that put me here. At the junction of heartbreak road.
The little waitress wore an artificial rose. I met her in a truck stop long ago. She brought my coffee with a smile and then sat down. And we started talking bout my wanderin' round.
Arms that are thrilling reach out for me eager and easy to know. Arms that could hold me and tell me a lie warm arms that love then let go. Tempting inviting they're backin' and try to make me forget my someone.
The place I would like to see I know. But not the place where you told me to go. So anything that moves will be okay. I'll take anything leaving town today.
My baby is an angel, don't tell me she can't fly. 'Cause when I'm with her, I'm way off the ground. But hear lately, they say angel has been flyin' kind of line.
Mosquitos buzzin' round my head Spanish moss for my bed. Very seldom see dry land cause I'm an alligator man. I hunt the gator all night long sell his hide and then I'm gone.
Well I went to a Turkey roast down the street. The people down there are eatin' like wild geese. So I'm on my way goin' back to Alabam. Talkin' about your people havin' a lot of time.
There goes your tenderness. Cast it out like a net, see what you get. Without any regret. There's a lot to forget in tenderness. . I see you walking on a wind-swept beach.
Everyone who is lonely. I've got a place for you. Where the music play-ay-ay-ay-ays. Till way past two. . Come along now, let's go down. To the scene, well, what's it like now.
In the darkness of the city. There'll be someone waiting for me tonight. Far from all the city noises. She'll be waitin' at the place where we always meet.
Any way you want it. You can call me any day, hey, hey, hey. Any way you want it. You can always hear me say, hey, hey, hey. . It's all right, it's all right.
Well when I was a young boy, I used to slip away. Down to the ashgrove to hear the old blues men play. There was big Joe and lightnin' and reverend Gary too.
Dave Alvin. (Blue Horn Toad Music, BMI, Administered by Bug Music). . There's a greyhound bus. Leavin' the great Northwest. Takin' her tonight. Back down south to Texas.
In the visions of the dark night. I have dreamed of joy departed. But a waking dream of life and light. Hath left me brokenhearted. . There it goes away it goes.
Hold me close, till I feel better. About that girl, about nothing at all. Push and pull in which direction. White lies to break her fall. . I got glue inside.
I wanna hold your hands tonight. I wanna walk you home from school. I wanna take you on a date. I wanna treat you like a fool. . Now dont you worry about me.
Feeling scared, don't know why. Everyone are staring. I want to get out of here. Dropping out, wanna shout. In despair I'm fighting. I'm living in a world filled with fear.
