Restless spirit, wandering, come on home again. Tell me about your days of old, wander back again. You won't admit your life is taken, to your death not yet awakened.
CHORUS:. Raleigh and Spencer was burning down. There ain't no liquor in this town. There ain't no liquor in this town. . I'll pawn you my shoes for a little bottle of booze.
Red light love. Makes my heart stop. Drives me so crazy. I cant even walk. I got a red light love. Hopin everyday. He dont green light go. Go go go away.
It would take a very reckless girl. To fall to fall to fall in love with me. and if I knew a lot about this world. There would still be some mystery. .
Don't play me no love songs. I ain't in love today. Don't play me no train songs. I ain't going away. . Don't play me no Gospel songs. The good Lord. Knows the truth.
Ah, standin' in the kitchen, lookin' out the window. Wonderin' when she'll come home. You know she's out drinking, you been thinkin'. She gets back, you'll be gone.
Yeah, roll truck roll. Yeah, roll truck roll. Better get on down the highway. You better get on down the road. . Yeah, I work for a trucking company. And my forearms big as beef.
Out on the banks. Of the Rio Ticino. Standing in front of. The 3 Kings Hotel. Looking out. At the town of Castelletto. Wondering about. What Happened.
Sa la vey. Sa la guerre. When that soft suburban moonlight. Plays a mansionette melody. Calling all blue collars. And their sweet boufantee's. To go slipping through the shadows.
Chorus:. Missouri born. Red leg boy. He just born. Yeah to playin the ball. Ain't much good. For much else at all. He just born. Yeah to playin the ball.
Ho down down. Ho down dee. Red bird dancin'. In custody. . Goin' down. New Orleans. Red bird dancin'. An a red bird sing. . Red bird sing. Red bird do.
A bluebird a wingin' his lonely way south. Tryin' to escape from the cold and the drought. He's all alone in the cold grey sky fly little bluebird fly fly fly.
Tonight there's a fire burning brightly in my chimney. Though the weather's far from cold. It's your picture and the letters you send me you're gone so your mem'ry must go.
From this valley they say you are leavin' oh I'll miss your blue eyes and sweet smile. And I know you'll be takin' the sunshine that has lightened our path for a while.
This world is full of high's and low's. Wide open smiles and tears that flow. And you're bound to have your share of both. That's guaranteed. Sometimes you'll fly, sometimes you'll fall.
We were getting in the car that night. Something didn't really feel quite. She didn't grab my hand like she always does. . It's like she was a million miles away.
No matter what I say or do. You're never satisfied. I've tried I've tried so many times. So I'm leaving you now goodbye. . I'm riding on that midnight train.
I wandered again to my home in the mountains. Where in youth's early dawn I was happy and free. I looked for my friends but I never could find them. I found they were all rank strangers to me.
I don't want your rambling letters. Don't want your picture in a frame. All I want is you in person. Won't you let me change your name. . Mama said you'd come home soon.
If I sent a rose to you. For every time you made me blue. You'd have a room full of roses. If I sent a rose of white. For every time I cried all night.
