The rivers are swollen. We got a flood on our hands. Get out the buckets. And the pots and pans. . Mama, put the pictures. In the old wooden boat. Billy, get the baby.
When youget this letter dearest darling. I' ll be on the train heading home. My thoughts are only of you, love. While these many moons I've roamed. . Meet me there down by the river.
Just as far as I can remember she'll remain the rose of my heart. Mom took sick along in December February brought us broken heart. The reason we've not called the family reunion we knew she wouldn't be there.
The sun is slowly sinkin'. The day's almost gone. Still darkness falls around us. And we must journey on. . The darkest hour is just before dawn. The narrow way leads home.
Hustler talkin' on the telephone. You better leave my woman alone. I'm a jealous man, I'd dir for love. If you don't want to meet me in the allet tonight.
Just a little lovin,' yeah. Will go a long way. Well you made me happy. The rest of my days. Why don't you put your arms around me,. And I'll be your slave.
Gee, but it's tough to be broke, kid.. It's not a joke, kid, it's a curse.. My luck is changing, it's gotten from. simply rotten to something worse. Who knows, some day I will win too..
You act like a prima donna,. Playing so hard to get.. Sittin' so cool and nonchalant,. Draggin' on a cigarette.. You keep a wall all around ya.. I'll get through some day..
I left you this mornin', couldn't take any more.. You laughed and you dared me to walk out the door.. You said that I'd come back, you knew what I'd do..
I smoked my last cigarette. I drank my last drop. Quit doing all the things. That I swore I'd never stop. I changed my direction. Sang a different tune.
I saw you dancing down on Maclan street. Couldn't stop laughing at your two left feet. You never gave a damn about trying to please me. Somehow that made it all feel so easy.
I, I'm wondering if you're by yourself. I'm wondering if you need any help. Holding down a couple of bar-stools. Yeah, and I, I hope you don't mind if.
You're cuttin' up those turnip greens. Drummin' pots and pans in the kitchen. Dancin' 'round to Little Feat. And singin' Dixie Chicken. At the small of your back.
He can buy you nice things. But I can make your knees weak. So he has a house on a hill. I got what you really need. 'Cause that view from the hill. Lookin' at the stars.
Here's to the corners yet to turn. Here's to the bridges yet to burn. Here's to the whole thing blown apart. It's open season on my heart. . Days go by like flying bricks.
Did you say that you've been searching for. A place you've never been?. Well here it is. Here it is. . And you've been down there on the bottom. And looking out for a friend.
First you've gotta wanna get a hold. Bad enough to wanna get on him in the first place. And you'd better trust in you lady love. Pray to God she don't give up on you right now.
I hope that I won't be that wrong anymore. Maybe I've learned this time. I hope that I find what I'm reaching for. The way that it is in my mind. . [Chorus].
I'm a stranger here, just blowed in your town. Yes, I am, I'm a stranger here, just blowed in your town. And just because I'm a stranger, you don't have to dog me 'round.
Ol Reuben made a train & he put it on a track. He ran it to the Lord knows where. Oh me, oh my ran it to the Lord knows where. . Should been in town when Reuben's train went down.
