Red ribbons hang in a Tennessee square. Old people laughing and singing and dancing down there. . I'd like to join 'em, I got no money to spare. So I sit here and watch from the porch.
On the eastern highway we ride. Windshield wipers disperse the rain from the sky. What's left is ivy and vine. All the letters I'd sent back home. Never express the idea of how a young man.
Welcome to 2003 minus 25. Oh, say can you smell her for the smoke. God's still up there laughin' so He's gotta be alive. Who says He can't take a dirty joke.
Da, da, da, da, da, da. Oh, please let me be. Da, da, da, da, da, da. Cover my eyes so I cant see. . Lay down beside me. Your hair forms a halo round your head.
The lady's she right. She believes I just can't make it without her. That she's the reason I lay awake at night. And she thinks that I wish I could hold.
I can only sing it loud. Always try to sing it clear. What the hell are we all doing here. Making too much of nothing. Or creating one unholy mess. An unfair study in survival, I guess.
A quarter after two. Sittin' in my car, watchin'. Waitin' on a train. Ninety seven flat cars. Loaded down with troop, trucks and tanks. Rollin' by. . I'm twenty one.
I've been searching. And you've been gone. Out looking for the shortest path. To the one that you're on. . And I've already seen. All I wanna see. Come on, let's take the long cut.
Thousand times I lived before were just in my dreams. Well, I woke up to realize it didn't mean a thing. I've seen several better places, several better times.
There is a time for love and laughter. The days will pass like summer storms. The winter wind will follow after. But there is love and love is warm. .
Ted Pitney & Uncle Earl. . Lock up the door, throw away the key. Youll get no more love from me. Dont you know my name. wont always be the same. La dee day.
ssssss..... Blackberry, grapefruit, clementine, pear,. If I've got an Izze, I ain't a-gonna share.. I want a' ice cold Izze,. Izze is fizzy, is a natural treat,.
Last night the pale moon was shining.. Last night when all was still,. I was wandering alone in sadness. Out among the woodland hills.. . I heard the birds a'singing.
Take these chains, make a sound.. Take these chains, wrap 'em round.. Take these chains.. Oh, take these chains.. . Dance all night, make a sound.. Dance all night, wrap 'em round..
He said, I'm going to West Texas. They said, Hell, you've gone crazy. Ain't nothing out there but coyotes and Comanches. But he headed out anyway as far as he could.
Try and put your arms around the 100 year old tree. Climb up on a horse and let it run full speed. Take a look down at the world from 30,000 feet. On your next flight.
Tell 'em all I'm on vacation. Say I went to visit friends. That you ain't seen or heard. From me in quite a while. . When they ask you where I've been.
Every Friday afternoon, I hitch up the trailer. Saddle up ol' rock an' ice down the cooler. Drive that back road until it ends. At the Ropin' Pen. . There's rusted out pick-ups an' fancy rigs.
Tonight, on a plane bound for Dallas. I see the bright lights of Tucson below. Shining on all of the memories. I thought I'd finally let go. . It's been almost a year now.
