One day the train was passin' I caught it crawlin' by. To look this old world over under God's blue sky. My darling stood there weeping as I was looking back.
As I sit at this bar and drink it over thoughts of you keep running through my mind. So I build myself a ship inside this bottle sail away leave all my blues behind.
That face in the mirror across the bar from me. Keeps staring back as if to say is this where you should be. But drinking helps forget her though I won't forget her long.
On a long lonesome journey I am going oh my sweet little darling don't cry. For in shackles and chains they will take me to a prison to live till I die.
I'm always second choice I'm never first with you. Oh how it hurts to see you out with someone new. But I'll wait around while you play around and have your fun.
Oh Lord I'm just a poor man but I've worked like a slave. I may not know what please me until I'm in my grave. I've lived without a lot of things I've only got one plea.
In a crowded honky tonk music starts to play. Happy couples all around dance the night away. At a table in a corner I sit all alone. Every song's the sad one since my baby's gone.

Someone is calling her shorewards. Much like horses. Raising dogs will sing to me. Hold back the tears in my comfort. We move forwards. In these pauses the storm corrodes.
Slip!. Let me talk to you for a minute. I'm like, baby. Where did your love go. You say that I got it but it's so damn hard to believe, yeah. I said, baby.
You say you love me, but i know it's a lie,. coz when you loved me, my river ran dry,. is someone tempting? Someone on standby,. i handle looks, but never touch, you are mine..
Her hair. Soft drifted snow. Death white. I'd like to know. Why she hates. All that she does. But she gives. It all that she's got. . Until the sky turns green.
