It's a damn hard way. To make easy money. . I've heard some people say. John had some easy pay. You just party all night. Till the mornin' light. And then you sleep all day.
I got an invite to a Saturday night. Shindig way up town. You know old John likes to have his fun. I couldn't turn a party down. . The band was playing some highfalutin music.
It was mornin' when I left Alabama. I must a been around in mid July. Well I got behind a chicken truck from Georgia. And the feathers were a fallin' like snow out of the sky.
When I drink brown liquor, I get crazy quicker. Than an old red fox on the run. I get tongue tied and I lose my mind. And everything comes undone. . It's hard to explain how it bends my brain.
John Anderson - Bonnie Blue. . You're the mother of the southland,. Where I was born and bred,. You're in my heart and everything I do.. Yeah you always have a place for me.
I'm tired of havin' all these troubles. Think I've had enough. Excuse me for sayin' but, baby, I'm callin' you bluff. . There's been too many times, too many reasons.
He's a good man. And he's always been right there by her side. Through thich and thin. She can count on him. He's given her a real good life. . He never missed a valentines day.
The whole and old Willie Nelson's guitar. Is just like the one you worn through my heart. And no one really knows how we've held together so long. Me and old Willie's guitar.
Who got our love?. I want to know. Who's having fun. In places we used to go?. . Who stole your heart?. I want it back. I'm tired of livin'. Without love in this old shack.
I heard it on the radio and 6 o' clock. New said youd better not drive when you get on the booz.. The sheriff was on tv an a shakein his hand.. Said were really crackin down youd better understand.
If we can't get along,. we aught to be apart,. and I'm wondering where'd you. get that cold cold heart.. . Set me free.. Sign my release.. I'm tired of being a.
This hate, was never your call. You can't help but stare where love once held you close. And shaped, the world of your dreams. The world that you never thought, would leave you here.
I was in the darkness. I was out in the cold. Seemed nothing could heal this. This hole in my soul. . You reached out your arms to me. Held out your heart to me.
Im full of resolve. I have no strength to mortify my anger. I cannot hold this hate inside. Breaking down. May damnation take them. I am who I am. Theyre just scums! Oh!.
Its 9 a.m.. You woke me up to meet a new day. Side by side with you we stand. Striving not to lose the count of days. Not to get stuck in the ruts. Side by side with you we stand.
Born with a weakness.. Drawn to the flame.. Heart held out, holding out to be saved.. Waiting at the crossroads.. I close my eyes.. I stepped down.. I ran out, into the wild..
Night brings patience. And lucidity of mind. Am I the only one who is awake?. It seems to me that right now. Things are even more real and clear. To some extent I am filled with darkness.
Theres no need to be as wise as Solomon. To see that world has mired down. We cant see the end, cant see the end. We are accountable for our actions. The way we choose determines our future.
Red beams pierce through the sky moving us away from what we have already reached. The place we stand is way too far from where we want it to be. What makes things take an unexpected turn?.
Taken for granted, trying to hide your misery.. Left empty handed, failed by your own family.. Now you're speaking with your actions, been too long misunderstood..
