It said 3:30 on my watch. Big show don't start 'till 9:00. Thought a cold one sure would hit the spot. She started pouring shots. It was only me and her in there.
Woman lose my number. You can't get to me. My pockets ain't deep enough. Your eyes were seeing green. I caught you lyin', you're a cheat. Oh lord shame on me.
Two young lovers meet and take each others hand. They say I do in the name of the lord. Livin' as one givin' all they can. Then the pressures come and a child is born.
Just when you think you've got it figured out. It comes along and hits you in the mouth. You think your day can't get no worse. Your Heaven falls and hits you where it hurts.
Oh. Now when you think the time's flying. Take a look around. 'Cause babies are dying from disease. Sleeping out on the ground. . People never seen the tortured eyes.
Mmm.... I listen, and still I haven't heard. Tell me what is the word. And if I ever heard it would it be clear as water. Oh tears run down your face.
Oh yeah!. . Got a pocket full of memories and my song. Got to keep on movin' and rollin' on. When I'm playin' for keeps, I always win. Don't know where I'm going, but I know where I've been, yeah!.
Are you a saint then don't be a stranger. Were you sent down from heaven to show me the way. And if you ain't then I see a danger. You better take a minute and hear what I've got to say.
I don't read the paper, I don't watch the news. Life's good in this small town, population 62. Our bank ain't been held-up since 1932. Our doors are always unlocked.
A boy gets crazy when he's sittin' at the bar. Don't you mess with Jake don't you push him too far. Rotgut whiskey and homemade wine. Make a good country boy just lose his mind.
Disillusions fillin' my head. Never happy, I wished I was dead. Can't remember things I used to know. Take another hit Lord, let the four winds blow. Junkie, junkie man.
There's a rumor goin' 'round on the backside of town. Jake is out to get some revenge. Has fire in his eyes since his brother died. Shot down by a so-called friend.
This old town ain't been the same. Since this old boys been gone. Lord I still got some good friends. But I feel so all alone. All I hear is disco. See pretty boys with high heels on.
Just the other day I heard my friend say. Life was oh so bad, love was all he had. You know all day long I sing sad songs. Got the blues feel. Things no doctor can heal.
Well ever since I met you babe you've been running around. Spendin' my hard earned money on any ol' man in town. I've been your fool. Oh I've been your fool.
You got to lock your doors, keep the world out. We're closin' ourselves in. If you watch the news it'll scare you to death. To hell and back again. The only justice here's at the wrong end of a gun.
My daddy told me always be strong son. Don't you ever cry. You find the pretty girls, and then you love them. And then you say goodbye. I never dreamed that you would leave me.
New York City is a thousand miles away. And if you ask me, I'll tell you that's OK. Now I'm not trying to put the big apple down. 'Cause they don't need a man like me in town.
Have you heard that rumor that's goin' around. My baby's got a man, lord way across town. Its the same old story. Tell me where will it end. Yes I heard the news its the same old blues again.
Yes sir. . Well the bigger the city, well the brighter the lights. The bigger the dog, well the harder the bite. I don't know where you been last night.
