Single tonight..... . You're a walk contradiction. in a pinstripe suit. Ya got a cowboy hat. And worn down boots. I ain't never seen a guy. Work that look before.
Station grey. Are you still waiting. For the children. To tumble away?. . Walk us through. Fields undivided. Feel the weightless. Return back to you. .
Some came here before us. And others still arrive. Some stand behind. The unmarked signs. Recognized from time to time. And everything is up for grabs.
I thought you knew,. I had to stay away from you. I thought you heard,. Yeah still you have the power. You cant be here. How long do you disappear. Dont wanna be the best one here.
Spend the night alright. . (Chorus). Baby, it's OK. Honey, it's alright. You want to spend the night. Oh, it's alright. . (Verse 1). Oh, so fine. And you're being kinda shy.
We were together. Living as one. Until something happened. One day our love was gone. . Always seems to be. Something in the past. Won't let us last by.
Last night was a real good night while you was out playin' your game. Askin' for numbers and names somethin' else was goin' on at the spot. Your girl felt a little hot so I had to cool her down.
Some things you can't tell your mother. She'd be rolling in her grave. Some things you can't recover. Some things you can't betray. . Well I grew up in public and I tried some funny schools.
Well, I tried my best to be at rest. When the moon and the wind both died. You locked me in with your best friend. Oh, your window was open wide. . I escaped in time to see your man.
I first ran into Stoney. It was a bar downtown. Was Richmond, Virginia. We were bumming around. . Suitcase to suitcase. We started him talking. Finding out about the things we've shared.
Jerry Jeff Walker. . Woke up today, rain comin' down,. Wonderin' where all my friends are now.. They're not around; no they're not in town. Used to be me on my way,.
Butch Hancock. . Well, I was standin' at a big hotel, just wishin' everybody well. If anybody paid me any mind, it was hard to tell. Then a big cop on his beat, took out his pistol and pointed at me.
Jerry Jeff Walker. . For some kicks I went drinking, with some old hounds I ran with. While you were away for the day. Now the guys hadn't changed much, the scene seemed the same.
A soldier rides on a train to Tennessee. And half asleep he dreams it isn't a dream. With each flick of the wheels a new face goes by. With each face he loves he turns and sighs.
Jerry Jeff Walker. . As I walked into a run down bar. The sign said a one man band. He was sittin' on top of a bar stool. A guitar held in his hand. And the lines he was singing 'bout a memory ringin'.
Jerry Jeff Walker. . When the telephone woke me this morning, I'm sorry was the first thing I said. From that point it get's a bit fuzzy, thinking with half a head.
We come on the sloop John B. My grandfather and me. Around Nassau town we did roam. Drinkin' all night. Got into a fight. Oh now I feel so broke up. I just wanna go home.
Steven Fromholz. . Me and my friends are getting long in the tooth. After three or four decades of seeking the truth. Trying to recover from misspent youth.
Jerry Jeff Walker. . As a teenage girl in Texas, raised on dust and weeds and cactus. She first saw pictures of the river Seine. From her window late at night, she'd pretend the stars were lights.
Well, yes, I guess the blues got me. Brought me pretty low this time. Down to where I'm tellin' you. Everything that's one my mind. . She kept telling me.
