Now, I won't think about tomorrow. When the happy times are gone away. And good times can't last forever. But the good times are here today. . And I won't talk about believin'.
Well I'm longing to ride on a freight train. Put a slouch hat down low on my ears. I'm yearning to leave this old town. On the flight and loose all my troubles and cares.
Well you took my love for granted and I gave it all willingly. But seeing you with someone else was the breaking point for me. I know I'm goin' crazy I can feel it comin' on.
My family called me on the phone and said. "Grandpa would you come home?". We'd love to have you here on Christmas day. We know you won't get on a plane.
The girl who made me laugh made me cry today. After all the good times we had she just walked away. But the sweet mem'ries I have will live till I die.
I live the kinda life most men only dream of. I make my livin' writin' songs and singin' them. But I'm forty-one years old. And I ain't got no place to go when it's over.
There'll always be a few of us. To keep the barrooms busy. And there'll always be fools like me. With no place else to turn. . 'Cause liquor has the charmin' taste.
I've always been the kinda guy that didn't love a lot. I took all the love they offered me with ease. And it didn't make much difference if they loved me or not.
Hey, I'm a sky-bo and I see the world from an airplane. That's a hobo that can't get around fast enough on a train. But from an airport to depot the motive for leaving's the same.
There's got to be some folks around. With memories just like mine. Who'd give the world to stop the clock. And turn back the hands of time. . To an evenin' spent like so many spent.
Down through the ages men have died for their women. And they've done so so many times. But each time I loved one I always lost one. And I guess the right one is so hard to fine.

We left out of Tucson with no destination in mind. We were runnin' from trouble and the jail-term the Judge had in mind. And the border meant freedom, a new life and romance.
They told us that we'd never reach the tower. They said that we would prob'ly not. But we row the boat of lightnin' through the sky. You and I we're ridin' high.
We left home when were barely past eleven-teen. We've been back and fourth and all around through hell and rain. I've loved you half of your life and Ill keep on loving you.
Lady I know your out there somewhere. Like me your feeling lost. Maybe right now we both need each other. But our paths may never cross. People like us never find each other.
Nobody knows I'm hurtin' and nobody cares. Nobody knows I'm yearnin' and no one's nowhere. I'm even livin' with more heartaches in my share. Nobody's cryin' for me and I got nobody to care.
Once I had a girlfriend, she loved to hear me sing. But I left her in Nashville, flew west on a silver plane. My family can't kid me anymore. They never really liked my songs before.
Everybody's talking bad about Ramona. They say she's changed a lot since I've been gone. They say she may not be too glad to see me. 'Cause Ramona doesn't know I'm coming home.
Oh, you poor, broke, mixed up, mess of a heart. Yeah, a little, bitty woman gonna tear you all apart. I warned you a thousand times. But you wouldn't listen nor pay me no mind.
