I left Houston 'round two a.m.. In the middle of a pourin' rain. I drove all night to Oklahoma. Scared I'd never see you again. I found you in Tulsa. Hopin' you'd agree to come on home with me.
Well I was feeling down. I'd really been uptight. About to lose my mind. When I came in here tonight. . Things have turned around. Since they turned the jukebox on.
Baby put your clothes on, put on those brand new shoes. I wanna take you downtown, I gotta little blues to lose. I wanna see you dancing, swinging to a country song.
I'm gonna lay my troubles on a railroad track. I'm gonna ride, I ain't lookin' back. I tried to stop but I can't unpack. Gotta get used to the clickety clack.
I heard her sing in tongues of silver. I heard her cry on a summer storm. I loved her but she did not know it. So I don't think about her anymore. . Now she's gone and I can't believe it.
Brother flower, are you listenin'?. Let me sing a song for you. Brother flower, petals glistenin',. In the bashful mornings dew. Brother flower, when the sun shines.
Brother Flower, are you listenin'?. Let me sing a song for you. Brother Flower, petals glistenin'. In the bashful mornings dew. . Brother Flower, when the sun shines.
I got a brand new companion. Man, I'm gonna do my best this time. I got a brand new companion. Man, I'm gonna do my best this time. You know she cools me with her breathing.
Blue wind's blown my dreams away. My darling's flown and she's gone to stay. All I got now is yesterday. And I don't know what to do. . I guess I'll go downtown and see.
Well, my home is in the Blue Ridge Mountains. My home is in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Well, my home is in the Blue Ridge Mountains. And I aint comin back here anymore.
I gotta guitar all my own, I gotta quarter for the telephone. I ain't headed down this highway all alone. One two three and maybe four honey, they're knockin' on my door.
Well, Billy went down to the battleground. To find a little trinket he could call his own. Didn't see nothin' lying around. He decided he'd dig awhile.
Your eyes seek conclusion in all this confusion of mine. Though you and I both know it's only the warm glow of wine. That's got you to feel in this way.
They were standing by a window. As the night winds kissed her cheek. And he'd waited long in silence. Waited long for her to speak. . Till at last she murmured sadly.
Way down here, in the heart of Texas. There's a own kinda blues going on. Elmore James, Stevie Ray, Freddie King. Robert J's licks are heard on every song.
Made up my mind to go. Some place so far away, I headed west. Without a sad goodbye. No hugs or tears that way, it's probably for the best. Sent cards along the way.
As time draws near my dearest dear when you and I must part. How little you know of the grief and woe in my poor and my poor aching heart. Tis' but I suffer for your sake believe me dear it's true.
Chorus:. Bending blades, tall grass blowing in the breeze. Shining in the sun. Lonely days I keep going to the place. We went when we were young. . All I saw was flowers growing.
I dont feel like talkin tonight. Dirty glances outta sight. Ill keep it all inside of me. But it dont take a lot to see. B-U-M-D Im bummed. B-U-M-D Im bummed.
Theres a boy in every city. In every town I go. And boy is he so pretty. Theres more pretty boys I know. Further down the road. The further that you go.
