Today the weather was so pretty. At noon I went out for a stroll. I walked and did some window shopping. And met someone I used to know. . The years had been kind to her beauty.
Hold me up, I want to see the parade. There was a demonstration in our town, quiet but very tense. I've always been a bit nosy, so I guess that's the reason I went.
The first strange town I was ever in. The county was hangin' a man. Nobody cared if he lived or died. And I just didn't understand. . So I washed my face in the morning dew.
I wish I had a million friends and the playground as big as the world. I wish I had a million friends some kittens some boys and some girls. I wish I had a million friends some people some puppies and cats.
Way out on the mountain near the sky hiding from the cold realities of life. Shaking that old road dust off my heels I give my heart and mind the chance to heal.
I'm a cowboy too I got to wear loafer shoes. I have to wear a tie and when I wear my hat it makes the baby cry. I'm a station wagon champ I'm the king of summer camps.
There were barefoot dreams of catching outlaws. There were school dreams of catching footballs. There were young dreams of finding great romance. There were armies and I took the chance.
I said I'd leave you anytime I'm ready. Some april when all the land is wet. Some summer, some fall, or maybe winter. I'll go someday, but I'm not ready yet.
It feels better now I got time out of the way. It feels better now you said it would someday. Like miles behind a runner I watch the passing summers. Take the hurt away oh it's good to say it feels better now.
The Iowa weather was 13 below. I had come to Des Moines for a radio show. I awoke in the evening from a traveler's sleep. With notions of something to eat.
Georgia I love your big magnolia trees Texas I love to feel the prairie breeze. Tennessee you made me what I am today but it's got to be Kentucky for me.
In some of my songs I have casually mentioned. The fact that I like to drink beer. This little song is more to the point. Roll out the barrel and lend me your ears.
A mink wears a mink coat the whole year around. Even when he is not going to town. A skunk has a stripped coat, it's pretty he thinks. Although we all know he stinks.
I can't dance and I never could, I guess my feet don't match. I've been thinking 'bout dancing with you, but I'm afraid of hurtin' my back. I don't know what you're doing but I like everything you do.
When the TV won't work and your toys fall apart. And you have a sad feeling deep in your heart. You want to go out but it's rainin' out there I want you to know I care.
I woke up this morning feeling so good feeling much better than I though I could. Bluebird would you lend me your wings today I feel like flying away.
That old Kentucky moon was shinin' bright as day. The stars were twinklin' in the milky way. The pilot said if you look close there's frankfort on the right.
A man with forty acres plowed and planted. Can't send no fourteen year old boy to no school. The only thing I learned in the years I worked on my daddy's farm, was.
I know who I'll be seeing in New Zeland. If I ever return and I want to. I know who I'll be seeing in New Zeland. If I ever get back and I hope I'll do, I'll see you.
(I left you some kisses on the door). Your mama says I can't see you the judge says that it's right. We can't be together cause me and mommie fights. But you're my little girl and daddy loves you more and more.
