He played guitar in a honky-tonk band. He drank Jack Daniels, black label brand. He was the life of the party till they closed down the bar. In the eyes of a young boy, he was a star.
Where you going. with your head hung down. Papers blowin' through the streets of town. They've already taken all. of your posters down. Didn't take 'em long once.
[Cry-Baby]. I'm just a little upset. I don't mean to be rude. I'd hate to have my fury at the world be misconstrued. Just feel kinda bad. Ever so sad.
Standin' in the middle of a Roman street. Marble dust all over my feet. Bearded masses at the gates. Dancin' in the ruins while it's not too late. . Drivin' a Rolls through old Bombay.
Ruby said you getting us in a world of hurt. Down below the Mason-Dumbass line the food gets worse. I can't go back to Tennessee. That NASCAR country's not for me.

Sittin' in the seat of my old Olds. Pretty city lights down far below. Sittin' there soakin' up all of the heat of the fire. . You slide a little closer and whisper in my ear.
Remember when we'd get together. Burn the candle don't you know. Smoke and drink and live forever. No on e there to tell us no. This time I'm gonna kill that bastard.
Must be a cold front coming. Cause I saw the eastbound C&O. And the coal cars were dusted with a half inch of snow. And that boy'll drive me crazy. Don't know what I'll do with him.
You say I ain't the man you fell in love with. Well, you know I can't say that ain't true. You used to love everything about me. Now you hate everything that I do.

Girl, your kiss is sweeter than honey. I spend 'em up like money. They make me higher than wine. . Your smile wakes me up like coffee in the mornin'. It's like a new day dawnin' when I look in your eyes.

You dont have to go now, honey. Call em, tell em you wont be in today. Baby there aint nothin at the office. So important it cant wait. . Im thankful for the weekend.
