Somewhere in South Carolina near a dirt track there's a shrine. Erected to the memory of a little 'ole friend of mine. A natural born dirt dauber, car racing was his game.
All he wanted was a lady. When at night he came up from the deep. He was feeling like any other lonely fella. Decided to take one while the city was asleep.
When the warship's left Manila sailin' proudly o'er the sea deep blue see. Every soldier's heart was still filled with fond regret. Looking backward to the Island where they spent such happy hours happy hours.
Lord put a hand to the handle of my hoe. Let me make another step help me go another road. Even though I'm tired I'd break my back for my wife and kids livin' in the shack.
Farewell to the road, farewell to the road. . Well ol' truck this is our farewell to the road. I guess we're both out of style. I could sell ye but I don't need the money.
Farewell to arms so warm at night farewell to hands that could touch me just right. We had real love way back one time. That's all in the past so farewell to arms and eyes and lips that once were mine.
Well the work whistle blew about a half past five o'clock.. I saw the red light on the corner, man I never tried to stop.. Got pulled over by a man in blue..
Thank you girl it's been so much fun you know me I gotta get up and run. I never had a nest don't want a home sorry girl eagles fly alone. You've given up to almost change my mind.
If a load was illegal they'd call on the Eagle. That trucker'd been cheating for years.. He lived on back highways and unpatrolled byways, with only his conscience to hear..
A thousand miles dear a thousand more across the water across the shore. I'll say a prayer for yours and mine please think of me dear each night at nine.
Midnight, I'm a-waiting on the 1205. Hoping it'll take me just a little farther down the line. Moonlight, you're just a heartache in disguise. Won't you keep my heart from breaking.
(You can dam out the water and shut the wind out). But a man ain't been born who can destroy a drought. . There's a hot screaming wind at my door but I just don't care anymore.
The ol' neon signs are lighted so I'd best get to the bar. After all I've got position I must hope. There's a stool that waits for me after eight that's where I'll be.
First time I soared my heart felt a little bit funny. I knew right away I just had to have honey. Lips like cherry wine feel good touch of mine she makes everyday sunny.
She's been around me all the while. Try as I might, I can't forget her smile. In passing conversation, what did I hear her say?. Where did she come from? Who is that woman anyway?.
Don't let the stars get in your eyes. Don't let the moon break your heart. Love blooms at night, in daylight it dies. . Don't let the stars get in your eyes.
Well now that it's all over now we've gone our seperate ways. From time to time the pass will cross your mind. Don't let the life turn you bitter don't think only of the past.
Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above. Don't fence me in. Let me ride through the wide open country that I love. Don't fence me in. .
My mama told me, the old sayin' is. If there's a will, son there's got to be a way na, na. Mama, I got the will but I can't find my way, now, no, no. Let me tell you, man.
Don't come cryin' to me don't come cryin' to me. You've got eyes you can see I don't need you anymore. You kept lying to me me you kept wanting to be.
