Rodney Crowell. . On the banks of the ole Bandera runs a barefoot child. Takin' Sunday-go-to-meetin' shortcuts. He's out across those open fields, down those dusty drives.
Yeah, well, I picked peaches in Georgia. And I've lumber jacked in Maine. Been hired and fired and been in jail. In 'bout every state you can name. . Hell, I'm bad news, honey.
Jerry Jeff Walker. . Hey let me tell you 'bout a girl I know. Billie Courntey, she's the belle of Bandera, Texas. . Let me tell you 'bout a girl I know back there in my hometown.
As the rain ruins my alibi. I'm down to singin' you my red-eyed Rhyme. It's not the sun bright path. That called me from my home. It's just that fine Backslider's wine.
I was born secular. and inconsolable. I heard that he walked. he walked the earth. . God goes. where he wants. and who knows. where he is not. . Not in me.
It's like the most amazing. Sunset you've ever seen. There's never another quite the same. It just falls into some deep eternal sea. . Like the end of a movie that makes you cry.
I know I come across a little hard headed sometimes. 'Cause I hate to admit it, when I'm not right. You never dreamed you'd live to see this day. You'll wanna hear what I'm about to say.
I suppose it's time to see where this will go. Let's say all the things we already know. Let's start making plans, I want you to see. I ain't got a doubt, you're the only one for me.
(I love those bright lights and country music). I won't stay round and cry tonight like all the nights before. I've just learned that I don't really need you anymore.
Baby, oh, baby, tell the man at the ticket stand. That you've changed your mind. Let me run on out and tell the cab to keep his meter flyin'. 'Cause if you say goodbye to me, babe.
Born to lose I've lived my life in vain every dream has only brought me pain. All my life I've always been so blue born to lose and now I'm losing you.
By your side satisfied through and through cause I was born to be with you. Wonderously love can be so I knew that I was born to be with you. [ organ ].
I was born a woman I'm glad it happened that way. It makes no difference if you're rich or poor or if you're smart or dumb. A woman's place in this old world is under some man's thumb.
Blues stay away from me. Blues why don't you let me be. Don't know why you keep on haunting me. Love was never meant for me. . True love was never meant for me.
Oh darling how I wish that we could start out over I'd never ever be untrue. Too many heartaches has caused my world to tumble. And so my heart is crying bitter tears for you.
Are you listening Billy Christian if you are then come on home. Everything is like you left it I spent all my time alone. Guitar pickin' never thrills me like it did when you were here.
Big midnight special shine your light on me. Big midnight special shine your everlovin' light on me. . Woke up this morning heard the whistle blow the jailor said come boy it's time to go.
I just can't get it through my head, you love another now instead. Can't make myself believe we're really through. I'm walking up and down the hall talking to a silent wall.
Beautiful lies, beautiful lies. Each word is a heartache in perfect disguise. I can't help but listen and then I realize. The words you have spoken are beautiful lies.
There you go drivin' in your big long car you got a house overlooking the town. But be nice to everybody on your way up you're gonna need 'em again coming down.
