I look down at the ground just below me. And slowly lift my head up to the sky. From here to there must be quite a distance. But it's not as far apart as you and I.
Far far away is my love of yesterday and she's gone gone gone gone from me. Far far away is my life my love my way. And wonder where where where oh where can she be.
Easy lovin' so sexy lookin'. I know from the feelin' that it comes from the heart. Easy lovin' everyday's things givin'. To count on my blessin's I wouldn't know where to start.
There's a lotta pretty girls in California and some of them still linger on my mind. You'll find it's just about the same all over. But none of them were just quite like you'll find.
Don't tell me your troubles I got troubles of my own. Don't tell me your troubles just leave me alone. Leave me alone and go on home tell go it to a friend I got troubles of my own.
Did you ever lie and listen to the rain fall did you ever own a homemade apple pie. Did you ever watch a child while he was praying. Just don't let the good life pass you by.
A rope close line holds these ragged Levi's to my hips. A boxcar keeps the cold away from cracked and bleeding lips. The different blast of a diesel horn drowns up the sound of pain.
I'm headed for the bluegrass state goin' back where the livin's great. Though my body left one day my mind's never been away from Kentucky Kentucky. Back to the place where I was raised I bet enough that Boone County's changed.
Now I'd looked at you, old clock for a long time. And each glance makes a change for the worse. 'Cause you just keep moving me towards tomorrow. But I wish you would run in reverse.
Chattanooga Shoeshine Boy. Red Foley. . Have you ever passed the corner of 4th and Grand. Where a little ball of rhythm has a shoeshine stand. The people gather round and they clap their hands he's a great big bundle of joy.
Flyin' cross the desert in a TWA I saw a woman walkin' cross the sand. She'd been a walkin' thirty miles on route to LA. To get a brown eyed handsome man.
Blues in my heart oh how it aches nobody knows the sorrow it takes. I should have known right from the start. That you'd leave me with these blues in my heart.
It's been a blue blue day I feel like running away I feel like running away from it all. My love has been untrue she's found somebody new it's been a blue blue day for me.
I just pulled out of Minneapolis and I aimed my headlights south. Got the taste of cherry lipstick still a clinging to my mouth. She begged me not to leave her and she cried till I nearly stayed.
I've been thru a lotta states and a lotta towns most of them have different names. But you'll find the streets all run the same. Girls are a lot like this if you work it right and I do this well.
Who's that sneaking down the fire escape who's that peeking through the golden gate. Who's on the loose but can't be found Big Daddy's Alabama bound. Big Daddy's Alabama bound Big Daddy's Alabama bound.

On the Greyhound bus trip home I was feelin' all alone. When a long haired gal sat down next to me. She said she was Atlanta bound kill some time maybe kick around.
Now it's all in the family. I wish we can only hurt just you and me. Our little darlings will never understand. What's happened to a woman and the man.
You think you took her from me but I just gave her to you. I never wanted her much anyway all I ever wanted to do. Kiss her lips in the early morn hold her hands while the babies were born.
