There's a big race down in Dallas. Don't you wish that you were there?. You could bet your bottom dollar. On that iron gray mare. . Had a black horse named Delilah.
I climbed the mountains and I swept the plains. I crossed the border and I broke my chains. I walked the back roads 'til my shoes wore through. I'm still without you without you.
I am the king of burning daylight, and holdin' my own. I've been doin', alright, leaving well enough alone. My Daddy told me, I was lazy, My momma said, I love you too.
Kathy there was time when I thought. Of no one else but me and myself. Being on my own.. . And how can I start to apologize for. Not being there to dry your eyes when.
When the wind don't blow in Amarillo. When the moon along the Gunnison don't rise. And I cast my dreams upon your love babe. And lie beneath the laughter of your eyes.
I'm tired to the bone. My back is to the wall. I've been on my own. So long I can't recall. Take me in your arms tonight. Hold me to your breast. Tell me it will be alright.
We made Oklahoma a little after 3. Randy, his brother Bob and my old G-M-C. We had some moonshine whiskey. And some of Bob's homegrown. We were so messed up we didn't know.
Summer Sunday evenings around the old home place. I would play my guitar sister'd sing along. Sister's smile would always light up my daddy's face. When they'd get to dancing, they'd dance all night 'till dawn.
Out along the road to no return. Silence rules the day and knows no friend. The troubled past and all her tribe adjourn. To watch your dreams unravel in the wind.
It's midnight on the interstate and I'm flying like a bird. I was talking to a friend of mine, he said. "Have you heard the word?". . "I've got some people comin' by to celebrate the show,.
One day after twenty-five years. Head of service at the local Sears. Helen Walker put her pencil down and walked away. And all they found was a little note.
I gave up the fast lane for a blacktop county road.. Just burned out on all that talk about the mother lode. I traded for a songbird and a bigger piece of sky..
Broke into you car last night. Took your stereo. Now you say you don't know why. You even live there anymore. The garage man didn't see a thing. So you guess it was an inside job.
I slipped through your fingers into the clouds. Ran down the concrete hallways. Pushed through the crowds.. I watched by the water. Reached for the sun.
First of the month. Brings back the notion. Of a big round white dance hall. On a cool summer night. Red cherub faces set black shoes in motion. To the oompa pa rythem of a German delight.
Streets are almost empty, shops are closed down. There's not a soul left in the bar to tell my troubles to. Think I'll walk down to the river that runs just south of town.
I'm long past hungry. I need a bed. I got some real wild things. Runnin' through my head. Oh Rosie, don't forget me now. . I've been to Tulsa. And New Mexico.
Mr. Wolf and Mama Bear were banging on the door. I told 'em once, I told 'em twice, don't come 'round here no more. They've stolen all our chickens, they killed our neighbor's cat.
I crossed the Mississippi,. Turned south at San Antone. A bowie knife, a woolen coat,. A grip bag on my arm. It's all somebody needs to make it through the land.
The man outside he works for me, his name is Mariano. He cuts and trims the grass for me he makes the flowers bloom. He says that he comes from a place not far from Guanajuato.
