Down the drain pipe 'cross the yard and through the fence. I risked a whoopin' every time I went. 'Cause white boys weren't allowed on the colored side of town.
I've got a home in that rock. Don't you see (don't you see). I've got a home in that rock. Don't you see. I've got a home in that rock. Just beyond the mountaintop.
Time has come for us to part. I think I'm living as it was. Into the future we must cross, must cross. I'd like to go with you ... I'd like to go with you....
Dragon tales and the water is wide. Pirate's sail and lost boys fly. Fish bite moonbeams every night. And I love you. . Godspeed, little man. Sweet dreams little man.
The Mississippi moves a whole lot slower than you think. I've been to Memphis and rode it clean down to New Orleans. I'd bet a Ben Franklin, I've seen the whole world in between.
So empty and cold inside. Too strong to feel. Too weak to cry. Empty inside. Nothing left. And the daylight is fading. . Just for a short time then I'll be back.
Straight laced a little shy at time. Livin on the edge never was your style. You follow rules,take things show. You ain't never been the tape to let just let the dice roll.
Oh oh good ole days. Good ole days. . Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh. I work my job all the way to the weekend. Call all my buddies, ask where you've been. Let's get together somewhere, seven o'clock.
So much for finishing what we started. But don't take it personal if I'm not broken-hearted. Well, I've had enough, I'll sleep you off. Your memory ain't so tough.
Who keeps on trusting you. When you been cheating?. Spending your nights on the town. . Who keeps on saying. That she still wants you?. When you're through runnin' around.
Maybe in time it'll get easier. When there's been enough time between us. Right now it seems so hard. To face that we're apart and to believe one day.
I've been dealin' around Wheeling, West Virginia. Just a little too long. Now I gotta be leavin' 'cause one deceivin'. Free wheelin' man done me wrong.
I'm in a room full of people all hanging on one person's breath. We would all vote him most likely to be loved to death. I hope he still wants it, but it might remind him of when.

As I was walking one morning for pleasure. I spied a cowpuncher riding along. His hat was throwed back and his spurs were a-jingling. And as he approached he was singing this song.
One more drink and you can close the bar Joe it looks like she ain't coming anyway. Oh it hurts but you know how love goes Joe and this looks like my got it comin' day.
Everybody's gone away said they're movin' to LA. There's not a soul I know around everybody's leavin' town. Some caught a freight some caught a plane Find the sunshine leave the rain.
A long time forgotten are dreams that just fell by the way. And the good life he promised ain't what she's living today. But she never complains of the bad times or the bad things he's done Lord.
God will walk with me down the streets. Where no one else will walk. God will talk with me 'bout things of which. No one else will talk. . When no one else will walk.
It's knowing that your door is always open and your path is free to walk. That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag rolled up. And stashed behind your couch.
