Take that night train to Memphis take that night train to Memphis. And when you arrive at the station. I'll be right there to meet you gonna be right there to greed you.
Six foot six stood on the ground weighed two hundred and thirty five pounds. But I saw that giant of a man brought down to his knees by love. He was a kind of man that would gamble on luck.
Just because of the mood I'm in. I know there's more to the weather than the western wind. And I feel like I'm gonna feel. Like a willow tree that's got some branches to bend.
Well, I ain't gonna sing no lonesome tune. Oh, babe, I'm comin' soon. I cannot believe I stayed so long away. But a man must look around. An' you're the sweetest thing I've found.
Now is the hour that we must say goodbye. Soon you'll be sailing far across the sea. While you're away oh please remember me. When you return you'll find me waiting here.
Please don't hang up on me for I just call to say. That I'm leaveing and I won't be back again. And ask you if you'd see me and be with me one more time.
I cut my hair and I changed my number. I moved away from the place you know. I found a different coffee shop. So you wouldn't see me there alone. I walk around in my sunglasses.
Say if you're South of Oklahoma, east of New Mexico,. West of Louisiana, where Papa Charles always go. We gotta a little place called Texas. Where the women grow on trees.
Jerry Jeff Walker. . Well, our story starts in Texas, where he's tempered by the heat. That skinny Alvin boy believes his fastball can't be heat. So he brings it and he brings it and it passes every test.

Well, it's two eggs up on whiskey toast. Home fries on the side. You wash her down with the roadhouse coffee. That burns up your inside. . It's just a canyon, Colorado diner.
I'm gonna take the next bus on back to Georgia. I'm gonna spend every night right there in my honey's arms. I'm gonna let the sun warm me in the morning.
The train whistle blew for Coal Road Crossin' in a few more minutes we'll pull into town. I'll have to face the folks who'll come to meet us. I'll try to keep the tears from fallin' down.
I'm doing seventy two in a sixty five. On I-24 in a four wheel drive. Got a ten o'clock on Eighteenth Avenue. . And there's a thirty percent chance of rain all week.
I knew you wouldn't answer after the things we said that night. You were crying, I grabbed the keys and said goodbye. Well, hang on please, don't hang up, let me talk to our machine.
[ Jan ]. Nearer my God to Thee nearer to Thee in though it be a cross that raises me. [ Bill ]. Still all my songs shall be nearer my God to Thee. [ Both ].
Your bags are packed and your cab's out back. Guess it's too late to change your mind. But before you leave, do one thing for me. Just turn around and look me in the eyes.
I guess we knew the cards were stacked. Started out the best of friends. And we beat that highway 'til it quit beating back. It didn't mean much in the end.
(D. Pfrimmer/R. Wold). . When I promised you. That I would be strong. It was not a lie. It's just that I was wrong. There's no way I'd ever guess. I'd be so defenseless.
