Footprints on the sidewalk crush by me in the night. The tavern signs on this old street are stepping stones of life. I walk and walk and search for you half stoned and all alone.
Darlin' dearest darlin' put your arms around me baby please. Darlin' dearest darlin' kiss me one more time before you leave. If you must go be on your way before I started beggin' you to stay with me.
Well here I sit high gettin' ideas ain't nothin' but a fool would live like this. Out all night and runnin' wild my woman's sittin' home with a month old child.
Coffee cup coffee cup talk to me tell me I'm not in misery. Tell me she's not really gone tell me we're not here alone. Hey little coffee cup talk to me tell me it's gonna get better wait and see.
Maybe I am not that one and only guy whose touch will thrill you to the sky. And bring the lovelight to your eyes. Until the day the love you dream of comes your way.
Have you ever stopped and listened at the way that a city sheds its tears. At the streams of the junky who needs nothing more than just a needle by. I can smell a grass a burnin' some fool next door wants to charge his mind.
You were there when he was the same place the same night. I believe them because description fit you right. They said the tall vicious blonde with eyes like stars of blue.
Say child have you seen the Bourbon Street queen. She's feeling it revealing it down in New Orleans that Cajun Stripper queen. Dance dance dance little stripper dance while the music's hot.
Fell in love in the wink of an eye with the girl who was called Butterfly. She said she loved me so she could not let me go but still I had to say goodbye.
Black satin slippers and the long flowing gown walking on the clouds never looking down. Baby that's you baby that's the way I look at you. But that's all right yeah that's all right lovin' you may be wrong but that's all right.
Out of words to say I turned and walked away. Told her not to worry I'd be back another day but I won't. When she sees we're through I know what she'll do.
I've got an old slatch hat got my roll on my shoulder. I'm as free as the breeze I'll do as I please just a bummin' around. I've got a million friends I don't feel any older.
(He's the bubblegum bandit). He stands knee high tall with the western draw he got fun watchin' TV. He rides a broomstick horse and has an endless source.
Gasping for air, I come up from your lips. Amazed by the beauty at my fingertips. Awed by the softness and warmth of your touch. Bottle, bottle, why do I love you so much?.
White lightnin', it's said will shatter your head. And drive the old memories right out of your frame. So I got me a bottle and I open the throttle. But those dark lonely thoughts are all just the same.
Beyond the storm must come the rainbow beyond the darkness the light must glow. Beyond the shadow the sun will shine and someday your heart will be mine.
If he brings you happiness then I wish you both the best. It's your happiness that matters most of all. But if he ever breaks your heart if the teardrops ever start.
In your eyes I see a sign of sadness on your lips I taste a touch of fear. You can ease my mind with all those pretty words you're saying. It's the worse that you're not saying that I hear.
Beautiful lies beautiful lies each word is a heartache in perfect disguise. I can't help but listen and then realize the words you have spoken are beautiful lies.
In eighteen-fourteen we took a little trip. Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississipp'. We took a little bacon and we took a little beans.
