There's not much to say for what was mine today. But when tomorrow comes, I'll make my way. Had planned to build a dream or two today. But everything I tried turned out mistakes.
Woman: Thanks for calling (beeped out). this ishow may I help you?. Milton: Oh thank god you answered;. let me speak to the toy department!. Woman: OK please hold..
Everywhere I go I hear the music in the streets. People pass me by, I hear the tappin' of their feet. I could get down, boys, with all that keeps goin' wrong.
Bobby Rambo. . Just like the weather in Texas, you put me through too many changes. You don't give a damn, for no livin' man. And I doubt there's one that would claim you.
Away back down the line you slipped and fell behind. You never got back up, you're life went on. But your head looked back, at what you lost. You could turn your head around, it would help a lot.
Jerry Jeff Walker. . Well I'd already turned the lights out, almost gone to sleep. When a little voice inside me asked, are you all you thought you'd be?.
Jerry Jeff Walker/Bob Livingston. . My life for awhile was a party, but then I finally came around. Once again I began to start in to get my feet on solid ground.
Virgil Caine is the name and I served on the Danville train. 'Til Stoneman's cavalry came and tore up the tracks again. In the winter of sixty-five. We were hungry just barely alive.
Well they tell me of a pie up in the sky. Waiting for me when I die. But between the day you're born and when you die. They never seem to hear even your cry.
Robert Parker. . Everybody get on your feet, you make me nervous when you in your seat. Take off your shoes and throw them away, come back and get them some other day.
When I speak your name. I start to shake inside. When I see you stroll. I lose control. . That's what love will do for you. That's what love will make you do.
Rodney Crowell. . On the banks of the ole Bandera runs a barefoot child. Takin' Sunday-go-to-meetin' shortcuts. He's out across those open fields, down those dusty drives.
Yeah, well, I picked peaches in Georgia. And I've lumber jacked in Maine. Been hired and fired and been in jail. In 'bout every state you can name. . Hell, I'm bad news, honey.
Jerry Jeff Walker. . Hey let me tell you 'bout a girl I know. Billie Courntey, she's the belle of Bandera, Texas. . Let me tell you 'bout a girl I know back there in my hometown.
As the rain ruins my alibi. I'm down to singin' you my red-eyed Rhyme. It's not the sun bright path. That called me from my home. It's just that fine Backslider's wine.
Todd Snider. . You know just the other morning I was hanging around in my house. I had that new book with pictures of Madonna naked. I was checkin' it out.
About her eyes, now they're misty shinin'. About her hair, it's long and clean. About her face, now it's soft and smiling. But you can't trace her thoughts.
Thank you for being beautiful in my time. That's something real to evaluate all my life. For the taste with which you choose and give your life to. You gave me in the forms of what you're into.
Tom Waits. . Yeah, you gassed her up,. You're behind the wheel. Arm around your sweet one,. In your Oldsmobile. Barrelin' down the Boulevard,. Looking for the heart of Saturday night..
I wanna say to my sisters and my brothers. Keep the faith. When the storm flies and the wind blows. Go on at a steady pace. . When the battle is fought and the victory's won.
