Deep within my heart lies a melody. A song of old San Antone. Where in dreams I live with a memory. Beneath the stars all alone. It was there I found beside the Alamo.
We left out of Tucson with no destination in mind. We were runnin' from trouble and the jail-term the Judge had in mind. And the border meant freedom, a new life and romance.
There's a certain hill outside of town called Sam Hill (Sam Hill). And a certain guy used to go there every day. They said a certain girl lived up in Sam Hill (Sam Hill).
I left the four lane highway took a blacktop seven miles. Down by the old country school I went to as a child. Two miles down a gravel road I could see the proud old home.
Now when the big bad wolf got in grandma's house. A little Red Ridinghood was scared as the mouse. And just like her I'm scared through and through. Some two legged wolf would run away with you.
Roly Poly eatin' corn and taters. Hungry every minute of the day. Roly Poly gnawin' on a biscuit. Long as he can chew it it's okay. . He can eat an apple pie.
Right or wrong I'll always love you. Though you're gone I can't forget. Right or wrong I'll keep on dreaming. Still I wake with the same old regret. .
Way out in Reno, Nevada. Where romance blooms and fades. A great Philadelphia lawyer. Was in love with a Hollywood maid. . Come, love and we will wander.
They told us that we'd never reach the tower. They said that we would prob'ly not. But we row the boat of lightnin' through the sky. You and I we're ridin' high.
Reasons to quit. The smoke and booze don't do me like before. And I'm hardly ever sober. And my old friends don't come around much anymore. . Reasons to quit.
We left home when were barely past eleven-teen. We've been back and fourth and all around through hell and rain. I've loved you half of your life and Ill keep on loving you.
My hat don't hang on the same nail too long. My ears can't stand to hear the same old song. And I don't leave the highway long enough. To bog down in the mud.
Livin' on the road my friend. Is gonna keep you free and clean. And now you wear your skin like iron. And your breath is hard as kerosene. . Weren't you mamma's only boy?.
Precious memories unseen angels. Sent from some where to my soul. How they linger ever near me. And the sacred paths unfold. Precious memories how they linger.
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, but her favorite one it seems.
I'll probably never see you eye to eye again. This letter's meant to be my last farewell. But you need to under-stand I'm nearly crazy. You need to know my life has gone to hell.
Hello Mr. D.J. wont you play a song for me`. The girl I love just said good-by and I'm blue as I can be. Oh please Mr. D.J. play that song I heard you play.
Every time it rains, it rains. Pennies from heaven. Don't you know each cloud contains. Pennies from heaven. . You'll find your fortunes falling. All over the town.
Way out in Reno Nevada. Where romance blooms and fades. A great Philadelphia Lawyer. Was in love with a Hollywood maid.. Come, Love, and we will wander.
Living on the road my friend,. Was gonna keep you free and clean. And now you wear your skin like iron,. And your breath as hard as kerosene. . You weren't your mama's only boy,.
