It was the devil's reign that called him. As he was runnin' from the law. He had him in an awful strange hold. It was the worst kind of them all. Then he took him down below.
Oh baby. I got to tell you something. Your lies and your alibies been driving me crazy. . Oh shoot it. Rock and roll thats my game. Fast cars, prety women, fortune and fame.
Is this how it ends? We're strangers again. It's over but you won't explain. No kiss, no goodbye, not one final lie. Just cold to the bone from the. Ice that's runnin' through your veins.
Making my way across Dixie, eighteen sixty-five. I walked all day and halfway to heaven. Now believe I'm on the other side. Day turns into night time, night time's by my side.
Don't do no drugs. Ain't got the time. I keep it straight. But I don't mind. 'Cause I got love. That the only plan. I'm just a satisfied man. . Ain't no girl.
Met an old man on the street,. A dirty hat laying at his feet,. I looked and saw adventure in his eyes,. Singing them songs from yesterday,. From over the hills and far away,.
There is a little girl who I know is. asking me asks me someday,. "Daddy where did my grandpa go?". Ill have to tell her, when she gets older. Than she'll stop crying,.
Well I pulled out of canyon county, great cradle of the west. My mama and me and one alone dog tryin' to do our best. Strangers all around me said no one knew my name.
Up from the burning depths midnight air is stale. With steaming breath, firey eyes, watch him burn in rage. Sailin' on for seas unknown, his quest is plainly clear.
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,.
