I'm a very ordinary man. Trying to work out life's happy plan. Doing unto others as I'd like to have them doing unto me. . When I find a very lonely soul.
Baby's good to me, you know,. She's happy as can be, you know,. She said so. I'm in love with her and I feel fine. . Baby says she's mine, you know,. She tells me all the time, you know,.
Pride, sad, splendid liar,. Sworn enemy of love. Kept my lips from saying. Things I was thinking of.. But now my pride you've humbled,. I've cast it to the winds,.
(I can't stop loving you). I've made up my mind. To live in memory of the lonesome times. (I can't stop wanting you). It's useless to say. So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday.
Living on the road my friend,. Is gonna keep you free and clean. Now you wear your skin like iron,. Your breath as hard as kerosene.. You weren't your mama's only boy,.
I rolled off the San Francisco mint in 1909. The last one they ever made, you should've seen me shine. When I landed on the counter they gave me to a kid.
Now he washed all the road dirt. From his face and from his neck. Sat down at her table. And she picked up his check. . And she took him home for reasons.
Hear that old tune come driftin' down the hall. Trying to put a stop to clock on the wall. Free flowin' free flown Lord mama how that old thief time carries on.
I had a friend named Bill Campbell. He used to rob, steal and gamble. And on the side he'd beg. So he mopped up. . Well, I told ol' Billy shouldn't do it.
If you ever go out to the circus. Where the Wallendas walk on the wire. I'll tell you a tale to remember. When the white horses leap rings of fire. . It was a cold night in Oklahoma.
Don't love you much do I. Just more than human tongue can tell and that's all. I don't love you much do I. Remember how I kissed you in the hall. . [Chorus: x2].
If I needed you would you come to me?. Would you come to me and ease my pain?. If you needed me I would come to you. I'd swim the seas for to ease your pain.
Oh Ellis Island was swarming. Like a scene from a costume hall. Decked out in the colors in Europe. And on fire with the hope of it all. . There stood my father's own father stood huddled.
I TOLD THE WHIPPOORWILL. TOLD THE DAFFODIL. JUST HOW PRETTY YOU SMILE.. YES I TOLD THEM...ALL ABOUT YOU.. I TOLD THE LITTLE BIRD. EVERY SINGLE WORD. THAT YOU SAID WAS WORTHWHILE..
If I was a bird I'd be headed south right about now. Flyin' over the Florida Keys. 'Cause the ice cold words in this room. Could bring down snow in the middle of June.
I was born on a blue lane highway line. Runnin' up and down Mississippi's crooked spine. I've been gone too long. It's high time I made time for this.
It only took a minute for us to finally end it. I guess we'd seen it comin' for some time. And it only took one hour to sit and talk it over. But it took us all night long to say goodbye.
It's hard describing a heartache. All because it's a one of a kind of thing. A serious injury. And a whole lot of endless pain. If it was a storm. I'd compare to a hurricane.
I've got a quarter in my pocket won't you tell me what I should do?. Should I put it in the phone so I can come crawling home to you. Or should I put it in the jukebox and play another heartbreak song.
Verse:. It's hard describing a heartache, because its a one of a kind thing,. a erious injury and a whole lot of endless pain,. if it was a storm, i'd compare it to a hurricane,.
