A whiskey haze in the pale smoke, dancin' through your hair. Soft light of the afterglow is, lightnin' in the air. Rolled up, took a slow breath, lit a cigarette.
Well if you're wondering. It would seem if you. When the world came near or you. I would (I would). When it came crash into your roof. Who would be there for you.
That Johnny Cash poster, hangin' on the wall. That black and white one, where he's flippin' you off. And that fist-sized hole it's hidin',. In between the studs behind it, I put that there.
She don't laugh at everything but when she does the planet swings around her. She don't step on sidewalks seams, her teenage boyfriends all still dream about her.
Please Doc put away your chart. You can save your heart to heart. I've got some memories and a deck of cards. That could use some shuffling through. Looks like hes still wide awake.
One hammer cast a shadow on the rough, stony ground.. It was raised toward the heavens, and all at once it came crashing down.. It drove a spike, 12 inches long through each tender hand,.
Snow blows through the window, all I can do is stumble. Across the uneven floor into an unmade bed. And I lie awake for hours, I must be afraid of something.
She's getting' hammered. On Alabama slammers. Three drinks ago, no. He wouldn't stand a chance. He's sipping' whiskey. Feelin' confident and frisky. Writes 'Slow Hand' on a twenty.
In some corner in some bar. Somewhere not too far. He's drinking scotch on the rocks. Watchin' the sweat on the glass roll off. In some corner, in some bar, somewhere.
He was tough, said he'd lived a good long life. and he'd seen it all, watching 82 years fly by. and three kids grow up, seen 'em all have kids. and grandkids of their own..
There was football on the telly when I heard the doorbell ring. "Have you your TV license"? said the inspector with a grin. I knew I should have got one, had been meaning to for days.
They say that once the new wears off. The test of love begins. When the spark that lit the fire won't burn. As bright as it once did. If lovers lose that old desire.
You try and you try. But each day goes by. And each night still finds you. Thinking of the love we knew. . You smile and pretend. That we'll just be friends.
You rolled out of Rosine, a dedicated man.. You drove those country back roads to a thousand one-night stands.. The music from your mandolin, spread like wildfire in the wind,.
If I could stop lovin' you and convince myself we're through. I could get out of bed, clear my head and start my life anew. . If I could learn just to let go and erase your memory.
I met someone I need to talk about. Never been so certain, with so many doubts. My heart's afraid to be alone with him. In late night hours, when the lights are dim.
Well it's snowing in Miami. And it's hailing in LA. Money's growing like green apples. On the trees. . I've been hanging out with Elvis, yeah. And all my bills are paid.
It's three in the morning on a Saturday night.. The laundry and dishes just ain't worth the fight.. Headlights are dancin' across the living room wall..
I'm leavin'. Don't even try and slow me down. Yeah I'm leavin'. Gonna travel out of this town. I'm tired of grieving. Misery is all I've found. . Tears.
Tonight the rain that's falling. Only adds to my heartache. It runs quietly down my window. Like the tears upon my face. And each time the lightning flashes.
