Like silent she stands like laughter she falls. From a castle of sand like a memory she crawls. And the mockingbirds grieve 'cause they can't make her cry.
(Ellas McDaniel) 1956. . I walk 47 miles of barbed wire,. I use a cobra-snake for a necktie,. I got a brand new house on the roadside,. Made from rattlesnake hide,.
I'm goin' out on the highway. Listen to them big trucks whine. I'm goin' out on the highway. Listen to them big trucks whine. . White freight liner. Won't you steal away my mind?.

Where I lead me, I will travel. Where I need me, I will call me. I'm no fool, I'll be ready, God knows I will be. And in the meantime make a little money and buy a little mercy.
When she don't need me, it makes me crazy. She say, rest easy and it makes me lazy. But when she please me, she please me all night long. . My friends are leavin', she say, don't worry.
When He offers His hand, don't you turn Him away. He can lead you to light through the darkest of days. With His love wrapped around you, you can't go astray.
Sometimes I don't know where this dirty road is taking me. Sometimes I can't even see the reason why. I guess I keep on gamblin', lots of booze and lots of ramblin'.
I'll play upon my violin until the mountains ring. Of lonely laughter blindly thrown. Across an endless ark of strings. And the skies are set to dancin' to.
Be my staple and my stay. Jesus, help through each day. As I walk this weary way upon my soul. . And when judgment falls to me. Through my savior shall I be.
Well I got two hands, I wanna clap my hands together. I got two legs, I wanna dance to heavens door. I got one heart, I'm gonna fill it up with up Jesus.
Well, the clouds didn't look like cotton. They didn't even look like clouds. I was underneath the weather. My friends looked a crowd. The swimmin' hole was full of rum.
Well, the clouds didn't look like cotton, they didn't even look like clouds. I was underneath the weather and all my friends looked a crowd. The swimmin' hole was full of rum, I tried to find out why.
By townes van zandt. . Well, I've been turnstyled,. Junkpiled. And railroaded too. I've been laid low. But don't you know. I'm still in love with you.
So close and yet so far away. And all the things I'd hoped to say. Will have to go unsaid today. Perhaps until tomorrow. . Fears have built a wall between.
Won't say I love you, babe. Won't say I need you, babe. I'm gonna get you babe. And I will not do you wrong. . Living's mostly wasting time. I'll waste my share of mine.
By Townes Van Zandt. I'll play upon my violin. Until the mountains ring. Of lonely laughter blindly thrown. And cause an endless sark of strings. The skies are sad.
There is a spider in my dreams. Long and silent is his name. Cold as lightning is his smile. Final is his sting. . His curse is deep as seven skies. Boys, I wouldn't tell you lies.
Of those that sailed the silver ships from Andilar I am the last. And the deeds that rang our youthful dreams it seems shall go undone. North for the shores of Valinor our bows and crimson sails were made.
The old woman finally caught me. Sneakin' 'round her cave. Her hair looked just like barbwire, boys. And her smile just like the grave. . She asked me could I stay awhile.
