They sent me out from Santa Fe to try and find his trail. They think that I'm the only one who can bring him back to jail. This star says I'm a lawman this gun has seen me through.
Long in the tooth, long in the tooth. Tryna tell ya I'm long in the tooth. What I use to do all night, now takes all night to do. . But the women folk don't complain.
I'm gonna live forever. I'm gonna cross that river. I'm gonna catch tomorrow now. . You're gonna want to hold me. Just like I always told you. You're gonna miss me when I'm gone.
(Chorus). Last call for alcohol. I'm finally through with you. . (Verse). It's too late to go home early. And the crowd is thin and fast. I swear to God the next drink I take.
As you read this letter that I write to you. Sweetheart I hope you understand. That you're the only love I knew. Please forgive me if you can. . Sweetheart I beg you to come home tonight.
Long John walkin' around in the rain. . He's long gone Lost John. Long gone Lost John. . No hat on his head no shoes on his feet. He's a beggin the women for his meat.
Down life's highway. All alone I've trod, I always put my trust in God. But you'll find out that your silver and gold. Won't pay the price to protect your soul.
Many years I've been lookin' for a place to call home. But I still didn't find it so I must travel on. I don't care for the fine mansions on earth's sinkin sand.
I leave Pittsburgh with a load of steel. Nobody knows just how I feel. With the road up ahead and my baby behind. Keep me drivin' with a worried mind.
I bid farewell to my home so dear. And started down life's road. I was a fortune seeking miner dear. Many things had been my goal. . There's many things I've seen in life.
I'm going down this long, lonesome road, lord, lord. I'm going down this long, lonesome road. Going down this long, lonesome road, lord, lord. And I ain't a-gonna be treated this way.
Love me back, love me back. I gave you all my lovin and that was that. Now Im out here on a limb thats about to crack. Im walkin on a wire thats about to snap.
I'm growing old and feeble and I can't work on more. My rusty bladed hoe, I've laid to rest. My mama and my papa they are sleeping side by side. And their spirits now are roaming with the blessed.
Written by billy burnette, larry henley, and larry keith.. . Sometimes love is all that matters. Sometimes not worth goin' after. You never know until you go.
They tell me that you are going away. What makes you want to leave?. You gave me your love and you gave me your vow. Now you're leavin' me here to grieve.
I found your note and that was all she wrote. You might as well just have cut my throat. You said, I'm doing this for your own sake. And all of this has been a big mistake.
I was lost in sin so long with no one to guide my way. My soul was in darkness had been for many a day. In that little community church house I heard that gospel song.
Written by billy burnette amd mentor williams.. . Throw away his ring. Throw away his number. It ain't a good thing. If it's pulling you under. It's never gonna be what you want it to be.
Oh I'm gettin' old and feeble and I cannot work no more. The children no more gather 'round my door. And old masters and old mrs they are sleepin' side by side.
Oh, yonder stands little Maggie. With a dram glass in her hands. She's drinking away her troubles. She's a courtin' some other man. . Oh, how can I ever stand it?.
