Living on the road my friend,. Is gonna keep you free and clean. Now you wear your skin like iron,. And your breath as hard as kerosene.. You weren't your mama's only boy,.

My lover comes to me with a rose on her bosom. The moon's dancin' purple all through her black hair. And a ladies-in-waiting, she stands 'neath my window.
Don't go sayin' I'm leaving you. Thinkin' I never got close enough to stay. Time runs in and then runs out. Starts again and it's always been that way.
Well, I ride an old Paint and I lead an old Dan. I'm a-headed to Montan' for to throw the houlihan. Where they water in the coulees and they feed in the draw.
Hey mama, when you leave. Don't leave a thing behind. I don't want nothin'. I can't use nothin'. . Take care into the hall. And if you see my friends.
We had our day, now it's over. We had our song, now it's sung. Had our stroll through summers clover. Summer's gone now, our walkin's done. . So tell me gently who be your lover.
If I had no place to fall. And I needed to. Could I count on you. To lay me down?. . I'd never tell you no lies. I don't believe it's wise. You got pretty eyes.
I ain't gonna sing no lonesome tune. Ah, babe, I'm a comin' soon. I cannot believe I stayed so long away. But a man must look around. You're the sweetest thing I've found.
Well no deal, you can't sell that stuff to me. Ah no deal, I'm going back to Tennessee. . Now this man down at the used car lot. Tried to sell me four wheels and a trunk.
This nine pound hammer, it's a little too heavy. For my size, honey, for my size. I'm goin on the mountain, gonna see my baby. But I ain't comin' back, no, I ain't comin' back.
On the banks of the Niles I courted my love. I walked with her soft as a mournin' dove. I loved her true, I swear I still do. And now she's gone without me.
My home is Colorado with their proud mountains tall. Where the rivers like gypsy's down her black canyons fall. I'm a long, long way from Denver with a long way to go.
Well the wicked king of clubs awoke. And it was to his queen turned. His lips were laughing as they spoke. His eyes like bullets burned. . The sun's upon a gambling day.

I stood in line and left my name. Took about six hours or so. Well, the man just grinned like it was all a game. Said they'd let me know. I put in my time till the pocono line.

By townes van zandt. . Well, the diamonds fades quickly when matched to the face of maria. All the harps they sound empty when she lifts her lips to the sky.
It's many a fine lady that's walked along beside me. With their flesh made of velvet and their eyes made of rain. Some tried to hold me to hurt me to hide me.
Won't you lend your lungs to me?. Mine are collapsing. Plant my feet and bitterly. Breathe up the time that's passing.. Breath I'll take and breath I'll give.
