Standin' on the corner with the low down blues. Is a great big hole in the bottom of my shoes. Honey, let me be your Salty Dog. . Let me be your Salty Dog.
I can't sleep and I can't eat all I do is sit and cry. And listen for your footsteps at my door. I keep asking myself why that you ever said goodbye. And I guess I've cried a million tears or more.
I went a huntin'. Saw a bear and shot him dead. Went to skin 'im. Found I shot Pap's bull instead. Leather britches. Pappy beat me all day long. But he couldn't hurt me.
It was the third of June, another sleepy dusty Delta day. I was out choppin' cotton and my brother was bailin' hay. And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat.
Only someone running would run right into me. Unless that someone was someone free like me. . There are things I will not do. I will even be mean and cruel.
The grass looks greener. The money does too. It sure looks easier. For the chosen few. . Mama always said. God broke the mold when he made me. And I've spent my whole damn life.
She's lost and feelin' lonely. Not knowin' what to do. Lookin' for salvation from the. Backslider pew. . Preacher's words brought comfort. And he made her believe.
There was no one there to steer me clear of the darkness. On that day we met ten years ago. Though A to B may have been the roughest. There's no denying it's been a spotlit show.
It's midnight at a liquor store in Texas.. Beneath the neon, close up's just begun.. When a boy walks in the door and points a pistol.. He can't find a job, but man, he's found a gun..
We're far apart but our hearts're holding hands. . It's lonely just to sit here by myself each night. Not knowing when I'll ever get to hold you tight.
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.
Just watch the sunrise on the other side of town. Once more I've waited and once more you've let me down. This would be a perfect time for me to die I'd like to take this opportunity to cry.
The southeast Georgia red clay dust is groundin' to my blue jeans. A heavy hundred pound cotton sack draggin' along behind. Wanting to leave this place so bad, I forget how I got here.
One, sweet hello and one, sad goodbye. Two empty arms and these lonely nights to cry. Together it was heaven, but how quickly time did fly. With one, sweet hello and one, sad goodbye.
(Verse One). On a hill far away, stood an old rugged Cross. The emblem of suffering and shame. And I love that old Cross, where the dearest and best. For a world of lost sinners was slain..
I'm only human I'm just a man. Help me to believe in what I could be and all that I am. Show me the stairway that I have to climb. Lord for my sake teach me to take one day at a time.
I've got that old fashioned love in my heart. There it shall always remain. Like an ivy clinging vine, clinging closer all the time. Through the years, through these tears, just the same.
The old man from the mountain's comin' home, home, home. Thought I'd better warn you. So I called you on the phone. Get rid of Joe the grinder. You better be there alone.
We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee. We don't take our trips on LSD. We don't burn our draft cards down on Main Street. We like livin' right, and bein' free.
All of my love, all of my kissin'. You don't know what you've been missin', oh, boy! (Oh, boy!). When you're with me, oh, boy! (Oh, boy!). The world can see that you were meant for me.
