She was just a country girl. Didn't have those New York City ways. When she hopped a bus in Ohio. Headin' for the crowded streets where no one says a word.
I know a fool who blows a horn. He comes from way down South, oh yeah. And you ain't seen some blowin' since you been born. Like when a trombone's to his mouth.
She stood by the window. And let down her hair. Asked if I knew that I shouldn't be there. Her lips said goodbye. But her body said stay I knew I should go.
Cigarettes, whiskey and wild, wild women. They'll drive you crazy, they'll drive you insane. Cigarettes, whiskey and wild wild women. They'll drive you crazy, they'll drive you insane.

I know a fool who blows a horn,. He comes from 'way down South,. Oh yeah; And you ain't seen such blowin' since you been born,. Like when a trombone's to his mouth..
I don't gamble, I don't fight,. I don't be hangin' in the bars at night,. Yeah, I used to be a fighter but. Now I am a wiser man.. . I don't drink much, I don't smoke,.
A child arrived just the other day. Came to the world in the usual way. But there were planes to catch. And bills to pay. . He learned to walk while I was away.
Big wheel, don't you roll?. Big diesel, don't you whine. Through the night as I'm runnin' down the road?. . Big semi, don't you stop. 'Cause if you do I'm not gonna make it back.
Well, out of Southern Illinois. Come a down home country boy. He gonna make it in the city. Playin' guitar in the studio. . Oh well, he hadn't been there an hour.
Well, the south side of Chicago. Is the baddest part of town. And if you go down there. You better just beware. Of a man name of Leroy Brown. . Now Leroy more than trouble.

My dusty feet have kicked the stones. Between a thousand railroad ties. From Boston down to New Orleans. I left the girls a-cryin'. . But I've still got some ramblin' in me.
I've been up and down and around and 'round and back again,. I've been so many places I can't remember where or when.. And my only boss was the clock on the wall and my only friend.
Lazy days in mid July. Country Sunday mornin'. Dusty haze on summer highways. Sweet magnolia callin'. . But now and then I find myself. Thinkin' of the days.
I was born to sing a good-time song. You know that nothin' used to bring me down. . 'Til the day I fell in love with you. And baby that's the day I found....
Seems like such a long time ago,. I was walking on a lonely road.. Getting tired of dreaming alone,. like all the lonely people I had known.. . Seems like such a long time ago,.
Met her in the summer. She was selling flowers In the streets of Paris. And we passed away the hours. Talking with our eyes and laughing. 'Cause I spoke not her language.
I was born to sing a good-time song. You know that nothin' used to bring me down. . 'Til the day I fell in love with you. And baby that's the day I found....
