One of these days I'm a gonna run away. From the duty chains I wore so long. One of these days well I'm a gonna run away. I'll leave her alone when love has gone away.
Hoverin' by my suitcase tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night. Heavy rain a fallin' seems I hear your voice callin' it's all right. On a rainy night in Georgia a rainy night in Georgia.
Whatever happened to you, you've changed. And I'm still wrong. I know you wanted to stay so long. And I'm still alone. . There were no secrets, there were no stories.
I get so tired of missing you. I get so tired of wanting to. Compare the things that are easy to do. Like the reasons you lie to me. The reasons I lie to you.
Well, my old missus said to me,. Gonna raise a ruckus tonight,. When she died, gonna set me free. Gonna raise a ruckus tonight. Oh, come on children, come along,.
Every Friday afternoon, I hitch up the trailer. Saddle up ol' rock an' ice down the cooler. Drive that back road until it ends. At the Ropin' Pen. . There's rusted out pick-ups an' fancy rigs.
Lately I have been working overtime.. You've been taking a class at nine,. Even though we've got bill still left to pay,. I think we should just slip away..
There's a million different types of girls. All around the world and they're all so beautiful. No one knows any better than me. 'Cause I stare so constantly.
Right about now she's brushin' her hair. Slippin' on her gown, wishin' I was there. She just hates these lonely nights when I'm gone. Right about now she's turnin' back the sheets.
Revenge of a middle aged woman. . I was looking for a cheap car in the Sunday classifieds. When an add jumped out and hit me right between my bugged out eyes.
Not so long ago on his way home from work. Hed stop by the side of the road. Step out of that old beat up ford. That he drove. . And hed walk around, searchin the ground.
Ride the blue wind, high and free. She'll lead you down through misery. Leave you low, come time to go. Alone and low, as low can be. . Well, if I had a nickel, I'd find a game.
I used to wake and run with the moon. I lived like a rake and a young man. I covered my lovers with flowers and wounds. My laughter, the Devil would frighten.
run mountain. Traditional. . Went up on the mountain to fetch me a load of pine,. put it in the wagon, I broke down behind.. . (Chorus:). Run mountain, chug a little hill..
Romance is a slow dance. To a sound as sweet as rain. It's a new song you never heard before. Unfolding to you both the same. . It takes time but you can get that step.
Now I make a living from a circuit I made. Out of trial and error and gigs that I've played. It might be the money or the town that it's in. But mostly it's people make you come back again.
Like a rock in my shoe, under my toe. I think about you, I can't let go. It's dug in deep, it still peeks through. Tried shakin' it out, it won't come loose.
Chorus:. My Lord is a rock in a weary land, weary land, weary land. My Lord is a rock in a weary land. A shelter in the the time of the storm. . Stop and let me tell you about chapter one.
The land I live in, it has no borders. It's under my feet wherever I go. Around the world in every corner. There's always a family or a friend I know.
Strollin' on the strand one day. Back in the fall of '49. The sun was sinkin' in the west. When somethin' caught my eye. And through the dim and misty light.
