Jerry Jeff Walker. . Spoken:. Well, there I am in Mexico, man,. I'm sittin' on a big hot rock with the blues,. Watchin' this sailboat drive by, and I'm wonderin', "Where's mine?".
Round and round and everything keeps tumblin' down. Make a sideways move. Till you're standin' at the edge of town. 'Cause everything in this world's got you turned around.
Chris Wall. . Even as she sleeps, she feels his restless turning. As he struggles with an old dream all night long. And when she awakes, she turns to reassure him.
Dave Gilstrap. . Yeah, I work all week just to make a draw,. Sometimes I don't ride 'em at all.. But I'm hooked in and I got to ride that train.. When I get down in that chute,.
Steven Fromholz. . Hey, if you want to go rockin' on a Saturday night. I know a place down the river where the rhythm is right. The joint is always jumping and there's always a crowd.
There's an old rockin' chair speadin' memories everywhere. On that old home porch across from Tipple's store.. You can see where the wood is worn. Where my granddaddy rested his arm.
Jerry Jeff Walker. . Take it from me it's a mystery, where all my money goes. How I make it week to week, only God almighty knows. Tonight's the night, I make it right, I'm fixin' to go into town.
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain. Telling me what a fool I've been. I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain. Let me be alone again. . The only girl I care about has gone away.
Ramblin', Scramblin'. Tryin' to get my mind untangled..... Ain't never seen nothin' in the whole wide world. That give more trouble than to try 'n love a girl.
Jerry Jeff Walker/Jimmy Buffett. . Chorus:. She's a railroad lady, just a little bit shady,. Spending her days on the train.. She's a semi good-looker, but the fast rails they took 'er,.
Bill Staines. . A baby child is born along the highway. A tiny little thing upon the land. An okie with his dreams out on the byway. Lifts the tiny baby in his hand.
Bob Livingston/Gary P. Nunn. . Got my irons in the fire down in Texas. Got a toe hold in Tennessee. Got my foot in the door of that California Store. Now I'm up to my ears in me.
Jerry Jeff Walker. . Harmony gets melody. Orchestra gets symphony. Continents get seven seas...... Boy gets girl and all you got was me and a promise.
Billy Callery. . Lace your shoes with country blues. Ramble down that dusty ole road. . Take your money down in the town. Gonna get rich in the game. Come on home drunk at day break.
Jerry Jeff Walker. . Chorus:. Pissin' in the wind, bettin' on a losing friend. Makin' the same mistakes, we swore we'd never make again. And we're pissin' in the wind, but it's blowing on all our friends.
Jerry Jeff Walker. . Yea, I used to look forward to Saturdays. When me and my grandpa'd get way. We'd hop in his pickup truck and we'd go to town. We had a couple chores that we had to do.
People are sayin' that times take care. Of people like me. And that I'm livin' too fast for I know, I can't last. Much longer. . But little they know that their thoughts of me.
Old road she keeps callin' to me. Old road she keeps callin' to me. Travel on down, travel on down. Travel on down and see. . 13 and 301. 13 and 301. 250 west, 250 west.
The old Nashville cowboy was burdened with time. He was bent by his years and the fight with the wine. With a head full of music and an old nursery rhyme.
Yeah, well I spent a lifetime. Just makin' up my mind to be. More than the measure of. What I thought others could see. . Good luck and those fast bucks.
