My mama told me, the old sayin' is. If there's a will, son there's got to be a way na, na. Mama, I got the will but I can't find my way, now, no, no. Let me tell you, man.
Don't come cryin' to me don't come cryin' to me. You've got eyes you can see I don't need you anymore. You kept lying to me me you kept wanting to be.
I've seen your face shining. Like something you'd see on TV. Your pale eyes drill deep down inside. To the bones of me. . And I can see my maker in you.
I've known all alone that you had leavin' on your mind. My sign of questions have been answered by the look that's in your eyes. Any day now you'll come to me and I know just what you'll say.
Take another look at yourself she'll only. Take another swing at your health and then you're lonely. And who's gonna nurse a broken heart when you let nobody in.
Headin' down to Memphis draggin' a heavy load. Cold night wind a blowin' on a long dark stretch of road. The night had been a long one the hours were going slow.
The wind wiped the tracks,. Don't tell the cops I'm here, I'm not here. There's nothing to see looking back. The sea is clear. . That fluttering sound is just the darkness coming down.
Monday ain't a fun day, Tuesday's a blue day. Wednesday's a frenzy, Thursday's the worst day. Friday is great 'cause I can. Hardly wait until the weekend.
Well all of my life I been a tryin' to save to get a pair of cowboy boots. Sixteen years of my life I gave to get a pair of cowboy boots. I wanna go where the money's free Hollywood is a callin' me.
Underneath the deep dark valley. Up above the highest boundary. My heart was singing out when I found out. Easy gone, easy come it's for you this one.
Your face suddenly aged. When you heard the news that day. I found you standing in the dark. Before you try to break my heart. . You know I see you, what's been and gone.
Was another beer drinkin' Friday afternnon at Jimmy's tavern. This cowboy he came struttin' in with a big cigar in his mouth a total stranger. Wore silver toed high heeled boots and a big old horseshoe diamond ring.
They told me you wouldn't make it. They didn't know who you were that day. Dragged you out in the open. Tiny bones and a fragile frame. . From the moment we knew you.
It seems to me your body's yearnin' seems to me your lips're turnin' cold. And after all the love I've given someone else's love is taking hold. And I can see your mind is workin' and an awful thought is turnin' round.
Goodbye Mr. Good Guy,. Come back teenage queen.. . She tells me I've been killing her with kindness. Smiling a lot, playing on my guitar.. But she hit me with a line.
why did she stay with him. is there something I missed. was it 'cause she was scared. or was it how he kissed. so why did she run to me. when he made her cry.
I met her in Savannah a beauty oh so rare. She sparkled like a dewdrop in the morning. And I loved her in the springtime the summer and the fall. Then the wind grew cold in Georgia without warning.
There are some things you can't cover up. With lipstick and powder. Thought I heard you mention my name. Can't you talk any louder?. . Don't come any closer.
Some men drink alcohol. Some men drink juices from the vine. But as for me I'm very simple. Give me coffee every time. . Make it warm and make it sweet.
I'm going back to the City of the Angels a memory of love controls my mind. I'll search for dreams in the City of the Angels. I left them there among the whispering palms.
