I threw a little rock, against her window. and I held my breath as she climbed down. In a white sundress, she looked like an angel. Whose feet had never touched the ground.
You gotta get off the clock and get on the phone. And tell everyone you know. To get on over to my house. And leave their worries there by the door. .
After all those good times. Thought everything was just fine. We were so perfect together. . Her heart was laid wide open. But words were left unspoken.
[Verse One:]. Friday night, dash light. Lovers on the Levy Road. Eighteen high beams, watching that Missouri flow. I don't know what your plans are but, baby, let's make some.
Your door is locked girl and I deserve it. I've knocked, knocked till my hand is hurting sore. It's just a quarter to four. I'm only late by 8 little hours.
I been workin' all my life tryin' to beat the company clock. In a Louisiana gravel pit, breakin' up rock. My baby's had enough, she's packin' up and leavin'.
Please don't ask me to swim that river. Please don't ask me for silver and gold. I can't give you things,. That I can't deliver. I'll keep you warm,. When the nights are cold.
When you're ready for steady to go dancin', romancin'. Grab your sweetheart and jump in your car. Drive right on down to the bright side of town. You'll be glad you don't have to drive far.
Up on the ridge, I seen a rider passin' by. Up on the ridge, I seen a rider passin' by. I heard thunder in the distance. I seen the lightning in his eye.
My heavy heart pounds hard tonight down this highway in the wind. The windshield wipers clean away the tears I cry within. The love I've thrown away, I know I'll never feel again.
I'm going out where the lights don't shine so bright. I'm going out where the lights don't shine so bright. When I get back, you can treat me like a Saturday night.
Because you walked - that lonesome valley. Because I met - you in your town. Because you saw - stars in the alley. When the street - light, you, did crown.
You might call it sad confusion. You might even call it off. But once you called me more than just your friend. Now there's more to what I'm thinkin'.
Mighty River, Muddy as Sin. Troubled Waters, Like the shape I'm in. . Would you open your Screen. Let a poor boy in. If I come back Home. Off the Streets of Sin.
My name ain't someone they would know. But I lived here not that long ago. She told me that she loved this little frame house. So I saved up some money and put a payment down.
I was standin' at a big hotel. Wishin' everybody well. But if anybody paid me, any mind it was hard to tell. . A big policeman on his beat. Pulled his pistol and he pointed at me.
Turn out the lights. We just need the lights from the tree. The kids are in bed, baby it's just you and me. Side by side, the fire is bright, on this oh so blessed night.
He had hair, black as a fiberglass speedboat. The morning air was crisp as a brand new bank note. He swaggered like a surfer on a Louisiana dirt bike.
There's a place I can go. Where I know I'll always be welcome. Night after night. When your memory comes around. . I just take a ride down the road. And look for the light.
