Well, I pulled into Jackpot. Outta Ely and red-hot. I was liking the action. You laid on the charm. . As well as some hot tips. A kiss from her red lips.
She said boy why don't you love me like you use to. You never want to hold me anymore. And I said girl now don't you go start talking crazy. 'Cause I love you more than I ever have before.
How was California?. Did they teach you how to surf?. Was it everything they said it was?. Was it all that you deserved?. . Did you hate the Golden state?.
I got a bad boy reputation. And I found it on my own. But even bad boys are good for something. And there is no harm in a little fun. . [Chorus]. Why don't you want to fall in love.
I got a phone call today. From a girl who walked away. But I hung it up before I heard what it was she had to say. . Hey say may. Well I drank all day.
It was a place of contentment. And the family came by. For some goodbyes and good lucks. Then I left 'em behind. . In a rig from the old man. I watched the sun comin' up.
They we say we've got to leave but there's no way to go. This ain't the first time we've weathered out a storm. And I ain't got nothing but at least I know it's mine.
Well now where do you think your going?. When you're headed for the door. With your head hanging down staring at the floor. And even though I can't see 'em.
She plays castanets. She works without a net. I like her better when she walks away. . She said she was mine. She told me twice. I like her better when she walks away.
Well it sure didn't take too long. I woke up this morning she was gone. And the note that she wrote. Didn't say Dear John, just goodbye fucker I'm gone.
We laid around Dogtown a summer ago. Good ol' man winter was fresh out of snow. When the leaves had left town. She followed them out. Running from rural and cold.
You're hiding from love. You see, you don't need it. But if that were true. You could take it or leave it. . Well, you gotta learn to walk. But you're afraid of fallin'.
Nobody ever makes it last anymore. There I was looking for the easy way out. These days love is a revolving door. Cast aside at the first sign of doubt.
Well I got empty bottles and legal papers wrinkled up all over the floor. My pen won't write and my guitar doesn't have a song in it anymore. Well I can write another love song, yeah, but first you got to find someone to love.
I'm hanging up my walking shoes. I'm gonna bid farewell to the travelin' blues. No more chasing setting suns. And living on the run. . Yeah the highway's got what the dirt road's got.
Well I got empty bottles and legal papers wrinkled up all over the floor. My pen won't write and my guitar doesn't have a song in it anymore. Well I can write another love song, yeah, but first you got to find someone to love.
My baby says she's goin',. Gonna go,. Gonna leave me on my own. Yeah my baby says she's goin',. Gonna go,. Gonna leave me on my own. Yeah but she's been talkin' like she's gonna be walkin'.
Johnny can't drink cause Johnny ain't twenty-one. Ya but he's eighteen and he's pretty handy with a gun. They sent him off to a foreign land gave him a new pair of boots and thirteen grand and he came back home with American blood on his hands George is a real go getter and he's runnin' the show and he should have known better but his old man told him to go.
I got a bad boy reputation. And I found it on my own. But even bad boys are good for something. And there is no harm in a little fun. . [Chorus]. Why don't you want to fall in love.
You beg my forgiveness. Say you're sorry for what you've done. Come crawling back to me. Like I'm your only one. . While I gave you my love. That wasn't enough.
