Everyone in Nacadoches knew Tom Ame's would come to some bad end. Well the sheriff had caught him stealin' chickens and such. By the time that he was ten.
I was walkin down the street. In the town where I was born. I was movin to a beat. That Id never felt before. So I opened up my eyes. And I took a look around.
Beggin your pardon there stranger. You look like youre new to this town. Were a long way away from the beach here. You wont see many gringos around. Well I come from West Colorado.
Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk. Of a day -I-ay-I-ay. I met a little girl and we stopped to talk. Of a fine soft day -I-ay. And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do.
