I've been around and I've seen the worlds collide. From the East Coast to California, yeah. I'm tryin' to live this dream and the streets won't take my name.
Jerry Jeff Walker/John Inmon. . Last year we went to London and Paris, Texas. We went on a bus tour, the great Texas honky tonk tour. Here are some snapshots about life on the road......
Jerry Jeff Walker. . We held a funeral and a wake at the Diamondback Saloon. With every old-time cowboy agathered in one room. Swappin' tales and tellin' lies from days when they were young.
Last night I sat out on the boat dock and smoked a big cigar. . Let my mind drift back along the road of life. I've traveled down so far. Started out a dreamer with a suitcase in hand.
Billy C.. . Well, my woman left me yesterday,. Sure do need this drink. My mind's so damned turned around,. That I can hardly think. I'd like some peace and quiet,.
Texas this morning the sounds they just sing to me. I feel alive again and with every footstep that's settin me free. Hey old friends,. keep alive the good times we've had in those rollin',.
Jerry Jeff Walker. . Layin' my life on the line, that's what I do all the time. Well I find myself each night, facing a white light. Layin' my life on the line.
Jerry Jeff Walker. . Well this might be the last song that I'm ever gonna write. Cause the world seems more confused to me than any time in my life. I know it all sounds crazy but, if it turns out to be true.
Last night I fell in love again and I didn't think I could. I thought by now I was probably over that for good. With too much on my mind, too many things to do.
Pack up all the dishes. Make a note of all good wishes. Say goodbye to the landlord for me. All you know he always bored me. . And throw out all those L.A. papers.
Jerry Jeff Walker. . Texas in October, is about as pretty as it gets. But Texas in the springtime, is even prettier yet. You miss it so much when you're gone.
Jerry Jeff Walker. . Would you like to know why I feel like dancin'. Well, I feel like I got a brand new lease on life. I got my baby with me, she didn't up and quit me.
Janet says, "It looks like a rainy day today. Just another rainy day". As I lean my chin slowly up against the window pane. It's another gray rainy day.
Well now it won't be but a week or two. And you'll be out lovin' someone new. Must have happened a hundred times before. But I can see you been spreadin' yourself thin too.
To life! To life! L'chai-im!. L'chai-im, l'chai-im, to life!. If you've been lucky, then Monday was No worse than Sunday. was,. Drink l'chai-im, to life..
Bob Livingston. . It's a good night for singing,. I got too drunk and my ears are still ringing. It's so good to be here, it's a brand new day. We been singing weary midnight tunes,.
Oh, these days I'm a nervous wreck. Trying to live my life so politically correct. Don't smoke here, don't you stand over there. Drink bottled water, don't you breathe the air.
Tevye: They gave each other a pledge. Unheard of, absurd.. You gave each other a pledge?. Unthinkable. Where do you think you are?. In Moscow? In Paris? Where do think they are? America?.
Jerry Jeff Walker. . Well, I'm not the kind of man who sits and complains. I've always been the kind of man who likes to take a chance. I have lived my life to the fullest, I have no regrets.
(Tevye). Is this the little girl I carried?. Is this the little boy at play?. . (Golde). I don't remember growing older. When did they?. . (Tevye). When did she get to be a beauty?.
