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.
Jerry Jeff Walker. . Sometimes out here on this road. Too late to call I see the telephone. My mind's a line running straight for home. And I can see her lying soft and warm.
There is less light and the night is longer now. The air is full of something strange. No more at ease, the geese fly stronger now. Because they know the seasons change.
Lee Clayton. . Tonight I could wrestle the devil,. I feel I just can't lose. Go on out and find me some fallen angel. To help me with these lowdown blues.
When friends come for Saturday night. It's nice to make up some Sangria wine. It's organic and it comes from the vine. It's also legal and it gets you so high.
Jerry Jeff Walker. . Spoken:. Well, there I am in Mexico, man,. I'm sittin' on a big hot rock with the blues,. Watchin' this sailboat drive by, and I'm wonderin', "Where's mine?".
You're a hater. And you tryna stop my flow. . So many wanna stop my flow. So many wanna stop my flow. Wanna come and put your road blocks down. But that don't mean I can't go around.
Electromagnetic beam, I get charged. Rhymes I run right thru em like a big box of Trojan large. Mc's tried to hang but its a Brooklyn thang. Poison slang, poison fang.
Ham hops, crack rocks, ooo-wops, cell blocks. Biscuits, gravy, smothered pork chops. Big diamond bracelets, mad lootin drug spots. High speed chases, robbiries, crooked cops.
Scientifical madness. Scientifical madness. My status is the baddest. Scientifical madness. Scientifical madness. My status is the baddest. . There's a hole in the ozone layer.
What is the mission today? Produce without injury. (Where'd you go? Where'd you go? Where'd you). Can you feel the steel, the steel? It's in my mouth my hair it's in my head.
I hear the barley calling my name. So I put on my best shoes and head down New St.. Where the welcome mat hurries me in. A pint glass awaits to drown my sins.
(Tevye). Is this the little girl I carried?. Is this the little boy at play?. . (Golde). I don't remember growing older. When did they?. . (Tevye). When did she get to be a beauty?.
[MOTHERS AND FATHERS]. May the Lord protect and defend you.. May He always shield you from shame.. May you come to be. In Israel a shining name.. . May you be like Ruth and like Esther..
