Jerry Jeff Walker/Bobby Rambo. . Chorus:. I'm takin' it as it comes. And you know that it comes to everyone. I'm just sittin' back here. Gettin' high and drinking beer.
Long years ago when out in sin. I had no hope no peace within. Down on my knees in agony. I prayed to Jesus and He gladly set me free. . I never shall forget the day.
See the rain comin' down and the roof won't hold 'er. Lost my job and I feel a little older. Car won't run and our love's grown colder. But maybe things'll get a little better, in the mornin'.
And when the morning comes and you gotta get up. How you going to find your shoes. In an empty bed with an achin' head. You know it's got to give you the blues.
Tried a thousand times, used a million lines. Tryin' to explain. 'Cause they don't have a word. For the kind of hurt that never goes away. . When I try to think it though, it all comes back to you.
I don't know how I got to this place. Chasing memories I got through the face. On the land like a river of sand. . Every time I believed what I heard.
Night is comin' on. Feelin's gettin' stronger every hour. Like [Incomprehensible] in the midnight glow. Slowly gettin' close and next to you in the night.
I've been laying 'round. Getting ideas in my head. Thinkin' 'bout slippin' out. Gonna shine in my brand new dress. . Boy, you got some style. Ooh, know how to make me smile.
A million miles from where I started. Paths I've traveled along the way. The winds have shared my journey. And carry dreams that I'd chase. . I reach up from way down under.
They buy you dinner, open your door. Other then that, what are they good for?. Men! I'm talkin' 'bout men. They all want a girl just like the girl. That married dear old dad they make me so mad.
It might not mean much to you baby. But it means the world to me. Just a simple touch of your hand. Tells me what love can be. . In moments like this, when you are near me.
I thought the wreck was over, I thought the fire was out. I thought the storm had passed and I was safe at last. I thought the wreck was over. But here she comes again.
Sun dogs barkin', barkin' round my dreams. Three ring circus rockin' round the sun. The taste of fire and Julia's name. Right there on the tip of my tongue.
That midnight train is a long and a slow one. The timetables set, the brakeman is tired. Your seat is reserved with exceptions for no one. No luggage allowed, no ticket required.
Remember when. We used to be here now. Livin' in the moment for days and days. And nights and days on end. . You found me in the distance. But who can tell.
Hey the sheriff pulled me over and he started his jive. In a 20 mile zone I was doing twenty-five. Son keep your lead foot off the accelerator. If you don't slow down you'll have to pay the alligator.
Now that I know everything that I know is wrong. Am I right if I say, "I didn't know that you knew all along". Put me on the hot seat, put me on the spot.
When the south wind of summer. Sings through the trees. And the high mountain thunder. Hangs low in the breeze. . A strong heart flows over. An empty heart fills.
Standin' in the station I got no destination. I'm wavin' my heart goodbye. I'm walkin' in the crowd and I'm talkin' out loud. And I'm tellin' myself don't cry.
Yesterday was Judgment Day. How'd you do, how did you do?. Were you runnin' from tomorrow. When the past caught up with you?. . Did you lay down in Heaven.
