It's gonna happen. Before too long. It's gettin' hard to tell. Who's right and who's wrong. I can see it comin'. So I gotta be strong. . There's gonna be a showdown.
When our hearts were young. We put our hands into the flames. Felt the heat from our emotions. We had fire in our veins. All those night we'd spend. Alone in your room.
Out from St. Louis. I wasn't choosy. I just wanted to get. Back on the road. I hitched in cars. And worked in bars. Lookin' for a place. To lay down my load.
Summer moonlight shines. On a midnight train. Lost in emotion she cries. To the wind and the rain. In silence she feels the breeze. No mercy tonight. The passion and promise has made.
Don't try to be anything else. But what you are. Don't try to do anything else. But the things you do. 'Cause I had a dream. About seven stars. And the seven good things.
You're looking at me. Like I must be mad. But I've been through all this before. You'll kick and kick until I'm down. So don't think you're. Comin' past my door, oh no.
All around my hat I will wear the green willow. All around my hat for a twelve-month and a day. And if anyone should ask me the reason why I'm wearing it.
What is it makes her to weep and to moan?. I am as a tall sailing ship out on the sea,. Where only long breezes reach out to me.. Chorus: And I'll set my sails of silver,.
I was shopping for a suit the other day. And walked into the department store. Stepped on the elevator and told the girl. "Dry goods floor". . When I got off, a salesman come up to me.
Stroker Ace was born to race he had a mean streak two feet wide. A son of a gun with a taste for fun and more than his share of pride. Take a dirt road curve with a devils nerve make a car dance across the mud.
Well I thought I?d go out to Tulsa. And ride in a rodeo. Red beans and rice sure would be nice. Back where the Mississippi River flows. . [Chorus]. And it's a long way back to Vicksburg.
I'm not a poet. I'm just a man. I'm not an angel. I'm just doing the best I can. I've got a heart. It feels pain. Just like anyone else. I don't like standing in the rain.
Well, the train to Grinder's Switch is runnin' right on time. And them Tucker Boys are cookin' down in Caroline. People down in Florida can't be still.
I ain't nothin' but a simple man. They call me a redneck I reckon that I am. But there's things going on. That make me mad down to the core.. . I have to work like a dog to make ends meet.
I won't get you near me. I don't blame you. For not seeing my way. Don't you worry, girl. There's just two damn much power. . And I won't let it bother me.
The house lights blaze, the spotlights dim and the encore fades away. We've got five hundred miles to go and another show to play. But there's a few old die hard fans still hanging out back stage.
This ain't nothing but a little bitty town. Roll up the sidewalks everything's shut down. Down on the corner they're still hanging around. 'Cause it's Saturday night down south.
