He was walkin' through the alley way. Where the drifters sleep and the wild dogs play. The moon was black, the sky was grey. He thought he was alone. .
In a year that is not now. From a place unknown. I travel on the mountain roads. Looking for someone. . Sewn inside my vest, a letter. Tells me where and when.
I've been riding all day long. Through the wall of rain. In the shadow of the mountains. On the barren plains. To my angel in the village. Where a lamplight glows.
Sherry was a waitress at the only joint in town. She had a reputation as a girl who'd been around. Down Main Street after midnight with a brand new pack of cigs.
Then there was the time. I saw the great Hank Williams singing on the stage in Philadelphia,. Pennsylvania and he was all dressed up in drag. From his rose red lips to his rhinestone hips he belted.
We left New York City, with nuthin' but a song,. she'll be coming' 'round the mountain when she comes.. We wound up in Woodstock, at an old time jamboree,.
She said she never really loved you. Guess ya knew it all along. Still you're willing to take the blame. For everything that went wrong. Now there's an ugly little pistol on the table.
Up this morning. Before the sun. Fixed me some coffee and a honey bun. Jumped in my pickup. Gave her the gas. I'm goin' out to catch a five pound bass.
The evening sun was sinkin' down, a chill north wind a-blows. The new-plowed ground was coolin' fast, the river rolls and flows. Beneath the two-lane concrete river bridge between my place and town.
I had a horse. named Bad Luck. She weren't good lookin'. but she sure could buck. . [Chorus:]. . Yahoo hey hey. Yippee yi cy yey. . I put my mama on her.
Could you push your button?. Could you feel that switch?. Could you push your button,. Like you rub an itch?. Can you find that button?. Can you find that switch?.
This is the hardest part. After we've come so far. Which turn to take. How do we make it through. Looks like were holding on. To something already gone.
Well every love has got two sides and a love just cannot live. If one side always takes and never gives. So put yourself here in my place and just think how it would be.
Six foot six stood on the ground, weighted 235 pounds. But I saw that giant of a man brought down to his knees by love. He was the kind of man who would gamble on love.
I'm gonna tell you a story that's all about. This job I had one time as a talent scout, hmm.. I had a hard day at the office and the boss wasn't in town.
Well now, listen people let me tell you some news. I'll sing a song called the crude oil blues. We're low on heat 'n' all. We're low on gas. And I'm so cold I'm about to freeze myself.
Well my throat was dry and it was getting late. I was at this bar on the interstate. When this guy with this bird on his shoulder walked through the door.
