She did not want to drive. She did not want to fly. She did not want to wait. For a bus to come by. . She did not want to hassle. She did not want to hurry.
She's sneaky like Tennessee whiskey. she always takes me by surprise. She feels safe, she feels risky. Got the devil in her angel eyes.. There's nothing I can't tell her;.
Oh a time there was I was feelin' so hopeless. It's a wonder I didn't cave in. I kept throwing love at all the wrong people. Never to see it again.. .
Chorus. Well it's a nickel for the fiddler. It's a nickel for his tune.. It's a nickel for the tambourine kind of afternoon.. And it's a high holiday on the 21st of June..
Baby don't let em' blow smoke up your dress. Don't let em' break your heart. Don't start thinkin' that life's a mess. You've done just fine so far. And when the ways of the world start getting you down.
Won't say I love you babe. Won't say I need you babe. But, I'm gonna get you babe. And I will not do you wrong. Livin's mostly wastin' time. . I waste my share of mine.
By the time that we got there. It was already too late. They say death had come easy. I didn't see it that way. . I guess they meant you'd stopped breathing.
The wicked sky that rules the bitter winter. The blazing sun that burns each little wind. In every season a reason to resent you. Sets me on fire all over again.
When he makes a promise. That he doesn't mean to keep. It burns like a flame inside. . It's alright to spend your night. In tears 'til the fire dies. .
I'm a long way from home. I feel the weight in my bones. I'm tired like a sinner. I'm cold and my money's all gone. . I'm ashamed of the things that I've done.
Davey why, where is he tonight?. He's sleeping with her in a Tennessee town and he's fine. I think I lost my mind and my wasted time. I'm dreaming alone in my hotel bed that he's mine.
All my life I'd never been a lucky man. Saw the back of my daddy's hand. Lost your momma to the promised land. . In my time I'd never had a thing that's mine.
If I were born to be a river. If a river is all I'd be. I tell the giver of all of the rivers. To make me the Tennessee. . How many drops of rain roll off of how many window panes.
Flee as a bird to your mountain. Thou who are weary of sin. Go to the clear flowing fountain. Where you may wash and be clean. . Fly for the adventure is near thee.
Lonely nights I can't stay. I've been sleeping on my bed most days. And when I see that hurt look on your face. I'll make it up to you one day. . I heard you calling out my name.
I'm leavin' you to worry you off my mind. I'm leavin' you to worry you off my mind. Cause you keep me worried troubled. Troubled all the time. . Six white horses goin two by two.
I was the one you used to write about. But you don't give a fuck about me now. And it's you who I always think about. But where are you now. Because I'm poison I'm a chemical.
Clouds in the sky never looked so gray. You've been savin' up your leavin' for a rainy day. You couldn't have picked a better time to say goodbye. . From my eyes the pain keeps pourin' through.
I know there's a lotta talk going around today. About cigarette smoking whittling your life away. I've seen it and I've heard it so many times. That finally it just started to prey on my mind.
I work as a hand in San Saba. Fences and windmills to mend. I been out on a crew, eating tumbleweed stew. Three weeks in the rain and the wind. . I got mud on my boots and blood on my money.
