When I first met Doreen. She was barely seventeen. She was drinking whiskey sours in the bar. . The way she tossed 'em back. I would've had a heart attack.
I might have wound up in L.A. panning for gold. Found me a woman to warm up with when the water got cold. But I heard that there ain't no gold there. There's just line upon line of cocaine.
He was a gentle man. He kept it clean. He said she had the purtiest eyes he'd ever seen. She got a red dress. And he got a drink. He meant to tell her about his heart condition.
Standing on the corner of 6th and How To Forget. Trying to do right by you all night Annette. You can go ahead and get married. and this will be our secret thing.
Underneath the foreign stars. In a foreign place where they don't love you. I do care,. In the pale moonlight. Your eyes are wide. And the band plays....
Man, I had a terrible day. I couldn't stop gettin' in my own way. Time to blow my pay, I need a drink. . Move your ass cause that's my stool. Pour one Bass, no, make it two.
Drive on, driver. There's no one home. We've waited hours. She didn't come. . It's such a pretty little ring. But it doesn't mean anything. Drive on. .
You didn't have to say that I'm no good, 'cause I know. There's no point pointing pistols at me now, I'll just go. I never should have asked you to be kind but I'm slow.
I'll be the madness that carries you away. I'll be the sadness to light your darkest day. I'll be the desert island where you can be free. I'll be the vulture you can catch and eat.
Don't look away, I don't think I could stand it. So don't look away 'cause my heart couldn't handle it. There's a fire in your eyes and it's melting the ice.
The summer came and passed us by. We didn't care, we just let it die. But when we dance, just you and I. . When we walk hand in hand in the rain. When we're young and in love once again.
Staring at the road. Another chance to look away. But you just press against your face. All your thoughts, then you realize. Time's not on your side. You're feeling very alive.
Sittin' around, waiting for an airplane. Don't know how to fly, but that's okay. Got me a pilot, she's going my way. If she's got wings, if she's got wings.
So long, baby since you've been gone. I'm a dyin' man, I'm a dyin' man. . Don't ever tell a dyin' man. You never meant to shoot him down. Yeah, don't do no good to tell a dyin' man.
The leaves seen through my window pane. Remind me that it's time to move my life again. November sun is felt by none. A chilly breeze has blown my thoughts to what's to come.
Don't wanna lose you right now. Don't wanna lose you. Don't wanna lose you right now. Don't wanna lose you. . You know, I can't see straight. And I'm feelin' dizzy.
Take along some of your favorite things. 'Cause you're gonna need 'em. Wait right here. Wait 'til I come back around. You and I will go. We'll just sit and watch it all go down.
Take your sleep. You will dream anything. You know you will. Because you've lived. So many dreams before. Take your sleep. . Take your dream. You'll see anything there.
As a boy I had a gig with a travelin' show. Way back in '63. We did a little pickin' for the soldier boys. Of General Bobby Lee. . But when we got to Pennsylvania,.
