Watching you begin your going. I can still remember how it was with you. And then you go and throw it at me. Sleeping with a guy I called my friend. Some friend.
I had to wait so long, I had to take my time. Before love knocked upon my door. I had to be a man, I had to take a stand. 'Cause I couldn't take no more.
You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair. Ruby are you contemplatin' going out somewhere. The shadows on the wall tell me the sun is going down.
She says, It's not you, it's me. I need a little time, a little space. A place to find myself again, you know. Oh yeah, I know a goodbye when I hear it.
If you're going to San Francisco. Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair. If you're going to San Francisco. You're gonna meet. Some gentle people there.
I didn't believe all the things. That I'd heard about you. I couldn't believe all the things. That I'd heard were true. . And then you took me for a ride.
Though they say she's not your kind. If ya love her pay no mind. It is hard, a wise man knows. A rose is a rose is a rose. . From the finest part of town.
Well, we come from down in Texoma. So let me stand up and say. We like Willie Nelson, JJ Cale, Chet Baker. God bless Stevie Ray, Okemah to Stillwater.
Wish that I was on old Rocky Top down in the Tennessee hills. Cause there ain't no smoggy smoke on Rocky Top ain't no telephone bills. Once I had a girl on Rocky Top half bear the other part cat.
Rock of ages cleft for me. Let me hide myself in Thee. Let the water and the blood from. Thy wounded side which float. Thee of sin the double cure. Save from raft and make me pure.
Persimmon wine, tupelo honey. I feel fine, don't need money. Sip a little wine, taste my honey. Bobby says you gotta serve somebody....
...Find peace and harmony. With the lay of the land. Stand beneath the big sky. And count all the stars. That you can. Take off your clothes. Jump in a clear running stream.
Reuben James in my song you'll live again. And the phrases that I rhyme are just the footsteps out of time. For the time when I knew you Reuben James.
If you're all alone and blue no one to tell your troubles to. Remember me cause I'm the one who loves you. If the whole world turned you down and not a true friend can be found.
...Rolling Fork. Frisco Bay. Asbury Park. Lost Highway. You're on the road. To rock and roll.... . ...Nashville cats. And you drive and drive. L.A. woman.
On a bus to St. Cloud, Minnesota. I thought I saw you standing there. Snow falling all around you like a silent prayer. Once on the streets of New York City.
Oh it don't worked out the way that I planned it's over but it's so hard to understand. So I read the letters that you wrote to me I read 'em and weep read 'em and weep.
In the vastness of this world. Baby, you are so unique. From your pouty little mouth. To your pretty little peaks. From your head down to your toes,. You are beautiful divine.
Rainbow girl you chase the dark clouds out of my world. You put the sunshine back in its place you put a smile back on my face. Goodbye rain so long pain my skies turn to blue when I found you rainbow girl.
See her how she flies. Golden sails across the sky. Close enough to touch. But careful if you try. Though she looks as warm as gold. The moon's a harsh mistress.
