I hear people talkin' bad. About the way we have to live here in this country. Harpin' on the wars we fight. And gripin' 'bout the way things oughta be.
Down every road there's always one more city. I'm on the run, the highway is my home. I raised a lot of Cain back in my younger days. While Mama used to pray my crops would fail.
I've been throwing horseshoes. Over my left shoulder. I've spent most all my life. Searching for that four-leafed clover. . Yet you ran with me. Chasing my rainbows.
In bed with my woman, just singin' the blues,. Heard the radio tellin' the news:. That the big Red Army took a hundred towns,. And Allies droppin' them two-ton bombs..
It's a dead end road, and I'm fully aware. You got me there, I got me to you. Baby, I could do better, but I don't care. It's all the same when it's killing you.
Take me back, take me back,. Take me back to your heart,. Can't you love me again, like you did at the start?. There's a weight on my shoulders, and I know I can't win,.
Well here I am again bartender says it's closing time. He knows I'll keep coming back and you're the reason why. I could never drink enough to drink you off my mind.
You're not the only girl in town. All my friends keep tellin' me. You're not thee only girl in town. But you might as well be. . There's more than one star in my sky.
I have good news to bring. And that is why I sing,. All my joys with you I will share.. Well I'm gonna take a trip. On the old gospel ship. And go sailing through the air..
There will be a happy meeting in Heaven, I know. When we see the many loved ones we've known here below. Gathered on that blessed hilltop with hearts all aglow.
Tantum ergo Sacramentum. Veneremur cernui:. Et antiquum documentum. Novo cedat ritui:. Praestet fides supplementum. Sensuum defectui.. . Genitori, Genitoque.
