Well I went to a Turkey roast down the street. The people down there are eatin' like wild geese. So I'm on my way goin' back to Alabam. Talkin' about your people havin' a lot of time.
Me and the boy's we cinched up our saddles. And rode to Sonora last night. Gun's hanging proud, daring out loud. For anyone looking to fight. . Card cheats and rustlers would run for their holes.
I hear a voice singin' somewhere in time. A song I knew long ago. And it takes me back to places somewhere in time. And everyone I used to know. I see a face, I remember somewhere in time.
I keep the radio on most all night long listen to the songs they play. Sometimes I hum tap along with my thumb listen to the words they say. And I have to admit those yesterday hits take me back a year or two.
I know, I've been foolin' myself too long. I'm never right but always wrong. Goodbye, baby, so long. . You know, you never. Let this thing catch on. You never let me be that strong.
i know that you're far away. i know you can't come back home. i know you ain't gone to stay. but still i feel alone. it's hard for me to breathe. it's hard for me to sleep.
Sinful daughter, sinful daughter. Sinful daughter, sinful girl. . They call her shameless. They call her wanted. They say she poisoned every well. . They call her Delilah.
I guess she put her blue dress on. And walked out late last night. Left one silk stocking. Dangling from the bedside light. . I sobered up and called her name.
Ow! You don't drive a big fast car, no. You don't look a-like a movie star. And on your money we won't get far. But baby, you got what it takes, Oh! to satisfy.
Pretty little one, how has it all begun?. They're teaching you how to walk but you're already on the run. Little one, what you gonna do?. Little one, honey, it's all up to you.
When the world looks dark all around you. All you need is love, I know. All your doubts and fears will disappear. And turn into song. . When the night light shines from your window.
Problems here, problems there,. people live in fear.. How the old folks then sincerely. Didn't used to be so hard to live.. . So how to change, to rearrange.
I scored some speed in San Berdino. So me and baby could get a little bump. And now shes in that motel room. Puttin on a show for some chump. . Yeah, well, babys gotta make a livin.
Tell me, do you want my love?. Tell me, what you're thinking of?. I've been waiting round so long. You don't try too hard, you don't try too hard. . I hope you're not trying to make a fool of me.
I'm thinkin' of you baby, every day and night. I'm thinkin' of you baby, every day and night. . Now I don't want no other lover. 'Cause I, I know you're gonna treat me right.
His mama said, "Baby, wait for me in the car". And she went lookin for his daddy inside a bar. So he sat and let the radio take him far away. Listenin to XPRS and KRLA.

I can see no reason. But you're acting so strange. Now put your trust in me. You should try it for a change. . And I'll be satisfied with you girl. I'll be satisfied with you.
Well sometimes I will. Then again, I think I won't. Whoa, sometimes I will. Then again, I think I won't. Sometimes I do. Then again, I think I don't. Ah well, I looked at my watch.
Dave Alvin. (Blue Horn Toad Music, BMI, Administered by Bug Music). . Well my name is Charlie Thomas and I'm as good a man as you. And for the love of Mary Brown there's nothin' that I won't do.
