He bought a flat top, down at a pawn shop,. Spent every weekend playing them bars,. One night a big wheel came down from Nashville,. Gave him a deal and he made him a star,.
You've got the boots,. You've got the buckle. You've got the Stetson's cowboy hat. You've got the creases in your Wranglers,. And the Skoal ring in the back.
Well, it's cheek to cheek and it's face to face. If I told ya once, I told ya twice. East is east, west is west. Fire is fire an' ice is ice. . That wind's gonna blow tomorrow.
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.
One day I went and left my home out in the West. Said I was headed for the Silver City. All along the line, I was dreaming all the time. Dreaming of the shining Silver City.
Well, me and Billy The Kid never got along. I didn't like the way he cocked his hat and he wore his gun all wrong. Well, we had the same girlfriend and he never forgot it.
I went down to the races to watch my pony run. Down to the races to watch my pony run. Lookin' at the faces, lookin' for the fastest one. . I took my money, money I'd saved for rent.
You're afraid to lose your cover. Afraid to bare your soul. Like an Alfred Hitchcock lover. Who slowly goes out of control. . Your love is like the city.
Walking in this city. Ain't got a friend. All I meet is strangers. With no time to lend. . Buildings and the steeples. Aimed for the sky. Looking oh, so lonely.
Smoke from a downshift blows across the grain. And the blackbirds are flyin' across the golden plain. I'm goin' back to where it was I came. I got to find ol' Joe before he loses it all.
I'm on the run again. I'm on the run again. Runnin' from the pleasure. Runnin' from the pain. Runnin' from the voices. Who're callin' my name. And I'm feelin' like the wild, wild wind.
Everybody. Got hammered. Last night. Everybody. Got hammered. Last night. . Everybody. Down the hall. Got nailed. To the wall. Everybody. Got hammered.
I'm a drivin' man. I'm a drivin' man. I'm a-travelin' light, roarin' thru the night. I'm a drivin' man. . I'm a risin' sun. I'm a risin' sun. My love is true, I'm gonna shine on you.
I got your letter in the mailbox, honey. Love flies, when you're far away. When I get home I'll give you all o' my money. . Don't put a lock on my heart.
95 South, 95 South. 95 South from Portland, Maine. When am I ever gonna see you again?. . 95 South, 95 South. 95 South, tryin' to whistle a tune. Potholes deeper that the craters on the moon.
I been workin' on the farm. Just me and my brother Jack. Choppin' a sea of cotton. 'Till I thought I'd break my back. Everything changed. When my daddy got hurt.
You left me and you went away. You said you'd be back and just that day. You've broken your promise and you left me here alone. I don't know why you did dear, but I do know that you're gone.
Oh well, I'm tired and so weary. But I must go alone. Till the lord comes and calls, calls me away, oh yes. Well the morning's so bright. And the lamp is alight.
My Grandpa farmed for a livin',. Content to live the simpler kind of life.. My Grandma worked in the kitchen,. Awfully proud to be that farmer's wife..
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.
