Say it's still snowing and the lines're down. If you like pull yourself up the chair and sit down. You'll have to pardon me while I'll try to drink this down.
Doggone my soul, how I love them old songs. They were a comfort to me when I was alone. The dancing stops but the music goes on. Doggone my soul, how I love them old songs.
When you are sad and lonely and have no place to go. Just come to see me baby and bring along some dough. And we'll go honky tonkin' honky tonkin' we'll go honky tonkin' honey baby.
I'm a honky tonk man and I can't seem to stop. I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox. But when my money's all gone I'm on the telephone.
Hold me hold me never let me go until you told me told me what I want to know. And then just hold me hold me make me tell you I'm in love with you. Thrill me thrill me walk me down the lane.
Hey good lookin' whatcha got cookin' how's about cookin' something up with me. Hey sweet baby don't you think maybe we could find us a brand new recepie.
Here's to your future my darling your health and your happiness too. And here's to the ends of my world you said forever well here's to forever and you.
Take the ribbon from your hair shake it loose and let it fall. Laying soft against my skin like the shadows on the wall. Come and lay down by my side till the early morning light.
Heaven says hello every morning when the sun says hi I've come to spend the day. Heaven says hello with the songbirds and the little flowers that nod along my way.
Darling I guess it's goodbye sorry that you saw me cry. I'm sorry to embarrass you so but hearts will be hearts you know. I never was much for pretence you love him and I've no defence.
Just bring me one more round of heartache-killer. Another bottle of help-me-forget-her put a dime in the jukebox and sing along. Yes I'll have one more round of I-don't-miss-her.
They're working while I'm missing you those healing hands of time. And soon soon they'll be dismissing you from this heart of mine. They'll lead me safely through the night and I'll follow as though blind.
Have I told you lately that I love you could I tell you once again somehow. Have I told with all my heart and soul how I adore you well darling I'm telling you now.
Have I stayed away too long have I stayed away too long. If I came home tonight would you still be my darling or have I stayed away too long. The love light that shone so strong pretty love light that shone so strong.
Harlequin melodies a trip through the night's fantasies. Where baby red roses endlessly wind. Their way through the meadows of mine sleepy mind. Gently my love come to me cool is the grass neath the tree.
Bare feet on southern soil. Burning up in the August heat. Tall grass and butterflies. We're all praying for breeze. . I'm going down to the river. Gonna wade into my knees.
Fill your pockets full of river stones. For us, deep beneath the soul. On your stockings a songbird sang. Alone, all alone. . Oh, these things that hold onto me.
It's hard not to believe. The tender heart. Will fool you so. Overflowing matter. I am naked, out of reach. Silent and complete. . But it hangs, constantly.
Sometimes I just wake up humming. feeling like my world is right. wanna jump right up & walk outside, take in the morning light. feel the music running through me makes me wanna dance.
Jerry Jeff Walker. . Last night I was dreaming I laying drowning in a stream. But in the light of day I see it's much more than a dream. Life is like a river that carries you on down.
