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.
This old smoke filled bar is something I'm not used to. But I gave up my home to see you satisfied. And I just called to let you know where I'll be living.
I'd like to hold my head up and be proud of who I am. But they won't let my secret go untold. I paid the debt I owed them, but they're still not satisfied.
I hear that train a comin', it's comin' 'round the bend. I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when. I'm locked in Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin' on.
I lost a woman. I believe to be perfect for me. You could replace her. But you're so much younger than me. . Our lives are so different. Our music is not the same kind.
Mary's mine and she'll always be till the end of time. She gave her heart to me. No truer love could I ever find than Mary's love. And Mary's mine. . I once lived the life without meaning.
The first thing I remember knowing,. Was a lonesome whistle blowing,. And a young un's dream of growing up to ride,. On a freight train leaving town,.
He spoke of a morning and an uncloudy day. With no sorrow and hardship to bear. He said that where I am you also shall stay. What will it be like to be there?.
What love can do. Is build a bridge for two. And make our dreams come true. That's what love can do.. . What love can do. Is make his need to live. And make you want to give.
I remember it all started in 1929 when me and Diana came to Alaska. To homestead some of this free government land. Forty mile from the nearest gravel road we cut our life in the ponderosa pines.
I remember all started in ninteen twenty-nine. When me and Diana came to Alaska to homestead some of this free government land. . Forty miles from the nearest gravel road.
What a friend we have in Jesus. All our sins and grieves to bear. What a privilege to carry. Everything to God in prayer. Oh what peace we often forfeit.
I can make it for a day or two without you. And maybe I can make it through the night. I can smoke I can drink and probably be alright until morning. But what am I gonna do with the rest of my life.
Wish I was down on some blue bayou. With a bamboo cane stuck in the sand. But the road I'm on, don't seem to go there. So I just dream, keep on being the way I am.
Well, way down yonder in New Orleans in the land of the dreamy scenes. There's a garden of Eden, ah-you know what I mean. Yeah, Creole babies with flashin' eyes softly whisper with tender sighs.

There he sits with a pen and a yellow pad,. he's a handsome lad, that's my boy.. P-r-l-f-q, spells mom and dad.. Well, that ain't too bad, 'cause that's my boy..

You left me and you went away. You said you'd be back and just that day. You've broken your promise and you left me here alone. I don't know why you did dear, but I do know that you're gone.
Ever in dreams with you I'll sway dear. To the waltz you saved for me. Ever in dreams while I'm away dear. You'll hear this melody. . Whisper goodbye and gently say dear.
