After the war was over I was coming home to you. I saw a rainbow at midnight out on the ocean blue. The stars in heaven were shining the moon gave its light from above.
Sing a la la de de and a la la de do. I just made up this rotten little song for me and you. . Today I wrote a rotten melody and the words are just as bad as you can see.
Well it's rainin out on Rebecca Street. And I aint doin that well. I was gonna do a whole lot better this time. That's what I told myself. And I'm waiting for the lights to change.
I've never seen a sky. As flat as this one. As flat as the brown earth. Beneath our feet. . I've never seen a horizon. As dim as this one. It's hundred and ten in the street.
There's a cold wind from Alberta. that carries me on down,. From Greenbay to the Port shore. this rig is homeward bound.. Nothings gonna stop me. from that boy of mine,.
Listen to rhythm of the wheels go round. Hypnotic sound of the driver on this old train. I'd like to be in Tennessee but they don't want me. I'm an outcast, this train's my home.
Well a poor boy's got one thing on a rich man, honey. He's got time to feel,. He don't have to deal with all his money. So if you want me, ya gotta take me just the way that I am..
Come all ye young cowboys and listen to me. And don't waste your life on that ol' hanging tree. And don't think that size ever makes man small. You find out it's nothing at all.
I don't watch a lot of TV. But I think I know what's good. What's good is what we've got. What's bad is that we've not. Tried to show each other proof.
Out along the road to no return. Silence rules the day and knows no friend. The troubled past and all her tribe adjourn. To watch your dreams unravel in the wind.
It's midnight on the interstate and I'm flying like a bird. I was talking to a friend of mine, he said. "Have you heard the word?". . "I've got some people comin' by to celebrate the show,.
One day after twenty-five years. Head of service at the local Sears. Helen Walker put her pencil down and walked away. And all they found was a little note.
Every night I go down to this same little joint. Fill up my glass till I reach the point past remembering. Where the music is loud the conversation is free.
When I'm watching on TV. And I know I shouldn't be. Because it doesn't compare. To walking down your street. . Well, I'm hanging off your live wire. I can't believe you don't see me.
I've got a pounding in my chest baby. Feels like I'm 17 again.. Got something burning a hole in my pocket lately. Done asked your daddy, done told your friends..
I am a roving gambler I've gambled all around. Whenever I need with the deck of cards I lay my money down. I've gambled down in Washington I've gambled over in Spain.
You've painted up your lips. And rolled and curled your tinted hair. Ruby are you contemplating. Going out somewhere. The shadow on the wall. Tells me the sun is going down.
I am a roving gambler I've gambled all around. Whenever I need with the deck of cards I lay my money down. I've gambled down in Washington I've gambled over in Spain.
Day is done and here am I alone and you know why. Roll along roll along Kentucky moon. Shed a ray of silvery light at the one I love tonight. Roll along roll along Kentucky moon.
Send some roses to Reno maybe it's not too late. If the roses reach Reno maybe baby will wait. . Baby's gone she's out of sight it all happened over night.
