Brothers riding to the wall from all across the land. The war's been over twenty years but they still come who can. Read the names of the land of the free.
Well, I remember when I met you baby. Back a long time ago. Well, you were telling me you loved me. I bet you just didn't know. Well, now you say. That you've got news for me.
What you gona do. When you're feelin' blue. You think you're lookin'. At some river run dry. Well, it's nothing new. Still the same old dues. There ain't no reason for asking why..
Poison pen can there be no end,. The words on the page,. Make you no man's friend,. Change a man's fate,. With a drop of a line,. What your gonna write about next time,.
Now if I were a bricklayer, I wouldn't build just anything. And if I were a ballplayer, I wouldn't play no second string. And if I were some jewelry baby, Lord I'd have to be a diamond ring.
Well here comes the story baby that I want you all to know,. 'Bought what brought me down, what got me feeling low,. Started off one day and took off down the road..
Ridin that night and the, the moon is high. Gotta hell hound on my trail. Got to cross the Rio Grande. And never let me out of that jail. Feel the cool desert air whippin' across my face.
I've got this feelin' inside me babe. Got my eyes on you. Just a matter of time. 'till I make up my mind. Before the night is through.. . I've been searchin' everywhere for a little girl like you.
Don't come at me with your stand, fight or die. Are you gonna feel it right between your eyes. Last man that crossed me they put him in the ground. Now get on out of here, don't need ya hangin' round.
Cut my teeth in kentucky, dynamitin' coal,. Turned sixteen on a tanker, haulin' crude from mexico,. Worked my way up to washington, made the timber fall,.
Rolling down this highway, for years it seems. Trying to chase that rock 'n roll dream. Ain't no way I'm gonna throw in the towel. I just keep pushing it's just my style.
Crawlin' through the swamps and you here me moan. Stalkin' after midnight I'm all alone. Three ways to Sunday that's how it be. Never take a walk alone comin' after me.
I pack my bags. Strappin' on a friend. Make it lucky. On this road that never ends. . Swear I didn't do it. The jury said I did. Busted out of prison.
Well, it happened up in detroit. It was my kind of town. We heard the audience screaming. When they brought the houselights down. Blind anticipation was felt from afar.
All alone with a full moon to light my night.. Been six long months since I held you tight.. It's been a long time.. Baby, you are my only love,. Sent to me, from Heaven above..
I saw Uncle John. With a long tall Sally. He saw Aunt Mary coming. And he jumped back in the alley. . Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby. Having me some fun tonight.
Well some people bitch, lord, some people holler. About the long days on the road. Each man can do just what he wants. But we've all got ot pull our load.
You can break a mirror. Light three on a match. Walk under a ladder. Kick a black cat. Try your luck in vegas. Shoot nothing but craps. But I'll gamble on my lady.
She walked in the bar room,. Not a day over 22,. Heads turned,. Eyes burned,. Temperatures were rising too.. And the loser and the stranger and the man behind the bar..
