Life is like a roller coaster. It's up and down, it's over and over again 'til it ends. The way I figure it, it's grist for the mill. A lesson you learn in every hard spill you take, there's no mistake.
Mike Reid. . Shadows come creepin' down the alleys,. Lonesome lines the boulevard. Neon flickers to the rhythm of the night,. But this evenin', sleep is coming hard.
Django Walker/Greg Combs. . Took the bus out of Austin, band was all on board. Everyone's so excited, who knows what lays in store. Hey look out the window, there goes Baton Rouge.
Jerry Jeff Walker. . Yeah down in Texas we got our own style. We say we're fixin' to in a country mile. Ten gallon hats and store-bought cowboy boots.
Bob Dylan. . It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe. It don't matter, anyhow. An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe. If you don't know by now.
Well, I've been gone for so long, feels so good just to get back home. Back to my friends and all the faces I love to see. Like a rainbow in the sky, a certain twinkle that's in her eye.
Traveling down life's crooked road. Lots of things there that I never knowed. Because of me not knowing I now pine. . Trouble got on my trail. I spent the next five years in a jail.
Yeah I played the Red River Valley. He'd sit in the kitchen and cry. Run the fingers through seventy years of livin'. "Wonder, if every well he'd drilled gone dry?".
Guy Clark. . I played the Red River Valley. He'd sit in the kitchen and cry. Run his fingers through seventy years of livin'. "I wonder, Lord, has every well I've drilled gone dry?".
Walter Hyatt. . Oh my dearest darling - you're on my mind tonight. Now that spring is coming I see the leaves are bright. But when I read your letters I remember those lines.
Jerry Jeff Walker. . Well I guess it finally happened. I'm tired of running 'round. I thank you for waitin' on me. While I was paintin' the town. For years and years you stood by me.
Sanger, Shaver, Raven. . Yeah I used to run with whiskey. Stay out with the ladies of the night. 'Til the whiskey took control. And left me waltzing with them witches in my mind.
Go ahead and live your life. And love it every day. 'Cause if you don't, I think you'll see. How it slowly slips away. . Till one day you wake and find.
David and Me. By Jerry Jeff Walker. . It's a one, two, it's a one, to, three, yea. Hey, come on in, sit down my friend,. Sure good to see you again.. Put your feet up, there's wine in a cup.
Roger Miller. . Well here I sit-a high, just gettin' ideas. Ain't nothing but a fool would live like this. Out all night, and runnin' wild. Woman sittin' home, she got a month old child.
Curly would drive that old pickup truck. Lilly would roll a cigarette. They never sweated the money they made. They get by just fine on anything they get.
Well, there's nothin' in this world that can take away my memory. Of my travels through the great northwestern mountain scenery. That good woman by my side with her lips like cherry wine.
Jerry Jeff Walker. . We've been here a week or so,. Now it's finally time to go.. Can't believe how quickly time has flown,. . Packin' up the bathin' suits,.
A love for others shouldn't lack in courage. Or shadows thicked in anger hold you down. Your love is always traveling there beside you. With the strength to turn this world around.
Gary P Nunn/Karen Brooks. . The lamp is broken on the mantle. My mind is blown and I'm turning away. It's Gettin' more than I can handle. It's Gettin' more than I can say.
