The poundin' of the big bustyres in a hot tarline I gotta play another matinee. This old guitar's gettin' worn but not as worn as me but I just keep on singing away.
Silver rails shining ahead through the night one on the left and one on the right. Ribbons of steel leading me on silver rails silver rails carry me home.
No need to tell me where you've been for I know who's in town again. And tonight you saw him secretly oh you've got a short memory. Yes you've got a short memory you don't care how much you hurt me.
Well I met a man in Montgomery Alabama. I was waitin' on a bus he was shinin' shoes and I heard him say. I'm a shoeshine man number one in the land. I'm a shoeshine man make your shine where you stand.
Well, seven lonely days make one lonely week. And seven lonely nights make one lonely me. Ever since the time you told me we were through. . Well, seven lonely days I cried and cried for you.
It's a sunny day outside. Lovely sunny day outside. Happy butterfly outside. I'm locked up inside. . I don't know if I can hear another tale. Of how amazing you can be.
Continued the waiting, tearing at the wing. (I lost a friend). A terrible plaything broken on a swing. (I lost a friend). Kept boxes of old days when you were afraid.
Split coconut. Split coconut. Split coconut. Split coconut. . Split coconut. Split coconut. Split coconut. Split coconut. . Split coconut. Split coconut.
To some, I am a blessing, to others, I'm a curse. I'm a writer, not a fighter, I'm a person, not a purse. I may be just an easy touch and taken for much more.
Shouldn't have took more than you gave. Then we wouldn't be in this mess today. I know we've all got different ways. But the dues we've got to pay are still the same.
Save me. Save me. . She's not a star but she'll go far. So she's telling all her friends. She's only young and just begun. To see clearly in her eyes.
Well the work whistle blew about a half past five o'clock.. I saw the red light on the corner, man I never tried to stop.. Got pulled over by a man in blue..
Little surfer, little one. Made my heart come all undone. Do you love me, do you surfer girl?. Surfer girl, my little surfer girl. . I have watched you on the shore.
Me and the boy's we cinched up our saddles. And rode to Sonora last night. Gun's hanging proud, daring out loud. For anyone looking to fight. . Card cheats and rustlers would run for their holes.

I hear a voice singin' somewhere in time. A song I knew long ago. And it takes me back to places somewhere in time. And everyone I used to know. I see a face, I remember somewhere in time.
I know, I've been foolin' myself too long. I'm never right but always wrong. Goodbye, baby, so long. . You know, you never. Let this thing catch on. You never let me be that strong.
i know that you're far away. i know you can't come back home. i know you ain't gone to stay. but still i feel alone. it's hard for me to breathe. it's hard for me to sleep.
Sinful daughter, sinful daughter. Sinful daughter, sinful girl. . They call her shameless. They call her wanted. They say she poisoned every well. . They call her Delilah.
I can see no reason. But you're acting so strange. Now put your trust in me. You should try it for a change. . And I'll be satisfied with you girl. I'll be satisfied with you.
