(Y'all settle down! Everybody be quiet because daddy's gonna sing a quiet song called the Giving Tree). . Once there was a giving tree who loved a little boy.
Remember when I saw you standing slightly cryin' empty-handed. With no one that you could call your own. Looking up to someone somewhere asking for life with no despair.
Four strong winds that blow lonely seven seas that run high. All these things that don't change come what may. But my good times are all gone and I'm bound for moving on.
On the warm summer's evening on a train bound for nowhere. I met up with a gambler we were both too tired to sleep. So we took turns a starin' out window at the darkness.
I hear the train a comin'. It's rollin' 'round the bend,. And I ain't seen the sunshine,. Since, I don't know when,. I'm stuck in Folsom Prison,. And time keeps draggin' on,.
I was born and raised. As an eastern girl in a western world. I was told to choose. To choose to be what I chose to be. Speaking impartially. There doesn't seem to be a place for me.
I have appointed me the captain of my destiny. And proclaimed myself the pilot of my soul. But my mind remains uneasy cause the rest of me. Depends on someone I don't even know.
It was our 25th anniversary. And I was watchin' the Super Bowl. When suddenly she started cursin' me. Hell I almost dropped my remote control. . And she said that's that.
We all are fellow travelers. Sailing across the universe. Living aboard the good ship earth. We all are fellow travelers. . My heart keeps hoping that someday.
Baby you know me well you know I mean what I say. Before I say farewell I'll give you just one more day. So you can find out what's happening find out what's happening before long.
Farewell Angelina, the bells of the crown. I've been stolen by bandits, I must follow the sound. The triangle tingles, and the trumpets play slow. Farewell, Angelina, the sky's on fire and I must go.
We worked through spring and winter through the summer and through the fall. But the mortage worked hardest and the steadiest of us all. It worked on nights and Sundays worked each holiday.
Come sit beside me and I'll sing you one last song for you to carry with you as you go. And I'll remember you here in the frosty dawn and the lightly falling February snow.
Fairy tale fairy tale tell me now a fairy tale. Tell me once again how it's me that you adore. And how we gonna live so happily for ever more. . Once upon a time not very long ago the whole magic world was mine.
(Rock of ages cleft for me). There's a family Bible on the table its pages torn and hard to read. But the family Bible on the table will ever be my key to memory.
Everybody's talking at me. I don't hear a word they're saying. Only the echoes of my mind. . People stopping staring. I can't see their faces. Only the shadows of their eyes.
In the early morning rain with a dollar in my hand. With an aching in my heart and my pockets full of sand. I'm a long way from home and I miss my loved ones so.
Lord it's easy as dreaming falling in love with you. But it's hard as dying knowing these dreams won't come true. . Tonight I lie here sleepless without you and think on the sweet love we knew.
Drinkin' from the bottle and singin' from the heart. Cryin' blues in motel rooms Lord the hard times weren't that hard. And some fell in and some fell out and some just fell apart.
Drop Kick Me, Jesus. (Chorus). Drop kick me, Jesus through the goal posts of life. End over end, neither left nor to right. Straight through the heart of them righteous uprights.
