Dear heart wish you were here to warm this night. My dear heart it seems like a year since you went out of my sight. A single room a table for one it's a lonesome town alright.
When I noticed her the first time I was outside running barefoot in the rain. She lived in the house next door her nose was pressed against the window pane.
Footprints on the sidewalk crush by me in the night. The tavern signs on this old street are stepping stones of life. I walk and walk and search for you half stoned and all alone.
Darlin' dearest darlin' put your arms around me baby please. Darlin' dearest darlin' kiss me one more time before you leave. If you must go be on your way before I started beggin' you to stay with me.
Well here I sit high gettin' ideas ain't nothin' but a fool would live like this. Out all night and runnin' wild my woman's sittin' home with a month old child.
Drinking with strangers. For the last time. And you fell asleep with. The smoke in your eyes. . Hot flashes burning. The dust on the blind. Gin soaked and lonely.
Doralee, there's water in the basement. Saturday, you'll be sleeping in the tree. Gone are the weeds that you tended to like children. Gone are the days and the distance between.
Keep me, don't let me go. When I'm losing my head. Well, if the angels won't have me. Well, meet me at the bar room instead. . Keep me, don't let me go.
Django Walker/Greg Combs. . Took the bus out of Austin, band was all on board. Everyone's so excited, who knows what lays in store. Hey look out the window, there goes Baton Rouge.

Bob Dylan. . It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe. It don't matter, anyhow. An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe. If you don't know by now.
Well, I've been gone for so long, feels so good just to get back home. Back to my friends and all the faces I love to see. Like a rainbow in the sky, a certain twinkle that's in her eye.
Traveling down life's crooked road. Lots of things there that I never knowed. Because of me not knowing I now pine. . Trouble got on my trail. I spent the next five years in a jail.
Yeah I played the Red River Valley. He'd sit in the kitchen and cry. Run the fingers through seventy years of livin'. "Wonder, if every well he'd drilled gone dry?".
Guy Clark. . I played the Red River Valley. He'd sit in the kitchen and cry. Run his fingers through seventy years of livin'. "I wonder, Lord, has every well I've drilled gone dry?".
Walter Hyatt. . Oh my dearest darling - you're on my mind tonight. Now that spring is coming I see the leaves are bright. But when I read your letters I remember those lines.
Jerry Jeff Walker. . Well I guess it finally happened. I'm tired of running 'round. I thank you for waitin' on me. While I was paintin' the town. For years and years you stood by me.
Sanger, Shaver, Raven. . Yeah I used to run with whiskey. Stay out with the ladies of the night. 'Til the whiskey took control. And left me waltzing with them witches in my mind.
Go ahead and live your life. And love it every day. 'Cause if you don't, I think you'll see. How it slowly slips away. . Till one day you wake and find.
David and Me. By Jerry Jeff Walker. . It's a one, two, it's a one, to, three, yea. Hey, come on in, sit down my friend,. Sure good to see you again.. Put your feet up, there's wine in a cup.
