In a vine covered shack in the mountains. Bravely fighting the battle of time. Is a dear one who's weathered life's sorrow. It's that silver haired daddy of mine.
Come and listen, won't you brother?. Have you heard or don't you know. There's a train that's bound for Glory. Will you ride it when it goes. . Has your ticket yet been purchased.
I was dancing with my darling to the Tennessee Waltz. When an old friend, I happened to see. I introduced him to my loved one and while they were dancing.
Oh, that big black engine comes a puffin' 'round the bend. Puffin' 'round the bend, puffin' 'round the bend. Oh, that big black engine comes a puffin' 'round the bend.
Take these chains from my heart and set me free. You've grown cold and no longer care for me. All my faith in you is gone but the heartache lingers on.
The clock never stops and I hate this damn phone. Somedays I wanna run from the place I call home. I guess I'm just needing some danger. And give me three days in bed with a stranger.
Shoot the moon, hit the stars. Send my love running down the boulevard. Hang my heart up on that line. Let it beat 'til it runs dry, 'til it runs dry.
It's a dead end road, and I'm fully aware. You got me there, I got me to you. Baby, I could do better, but I don't care. It's all the same when it's killing you.
I've been sitting here wondering if I'll ever get. Back to those wheels, will I ever be. Changing those strings out before nine. I am wishing for the life that I used to live.
This house is a hotel, I won't stay long. I'd rather be at church. Unless the holy water works, I won't come around anymore. . Set fire to your worries.
Stopped looking for the holy grail, stopped looking for the one. Cause I got everything I need right here, I got everything I want. Cause i'm a heavy-hearted bitch, hit home.
Well they tell me of a pie up in the sky. Waiting for me when I die. But between the day you're born and when you die. They never seem to hear even your cry.
Just like the sun over the mountain top you know I'll always come again. You know I love to spend my morning time like sunlight dancing on your skin. And I have never gone so long just for telling lies to you.
Step right up, come on in. If you'd like to take the grand tour. Of a lonely house that once was home sweet home. I have nothing here to sell you. Just some things that I will tell you.
Ashtray full of Marlboro reds. Empty fifth layin' on the bed. A hangover hangin' on in my head. Along with the damn goodbye you said. . Got some habits I need to kick.
I know, I'm not your first love. There's been others before me. But I'm the one that's got you now. That's all that matters to me. . And I know other arms have held you.
Talk to me, talk to me. Darling I love the things you say. Talk to me, talk to me. In your own sweet gentle way. Let me hear, tell me dear. Tell me you, you love me so.
He was just a blue-eyed boston boy,. His voice was low with pain.. I'll do your bidding, comrade mine,. If I ride back again.. But if you ride back and I am left,.
I recall that twisty river bridge. Over that painted river bed. They pumped about a gallon of muddy water. Out of my salty head. . I woke up in St. James Divine.
I know that somewhere there's someone. You love more than me.... Someone you love more than me.. And I hate to say it. But you have a right to be free.
