There's a house that's a little run down. This city ain't never found. It's miles and miles from a paved road. . That's where we grew up. Seven children raised on love.
Here we all are at the end of "the century of beauty lost".. We greedily ate what you gave us, the rest we tossed.. We've trapped all your rivers, paved every pass,.
Daddy's in the kitchen fryin' sauerkraut. Momma's in the bedroom nearly all cried out. Daddy thinks that whiskey makes him big and smart. Momma thinks that daddy's got a concrete heart.
The rock of my soul went to church on Sunday. The rock of my soul went to work on Monday. Clean across the levy by the railroad tracks. The other side of Houston in a two room shack.
Rain came down in endless sheets of thunder. Lightning bolts split pine trees down to the roots. In the shadow of the Astrodome. With a hurricane coming on strong.
Marty had a boutique on the corner,. Stanley was a trucker by his trade,. And every time that Marty would shake her tail feathers,. It would go and make old Stanley's day..
Now women and whiskey, they ain't the answer. Lord, well I just know that this here is true. But the way that I'm feeling, I just might be thinking. Lord, tonight they just might have to do.
My daddy was an outlaw. Mom died giving birth to me. They both left me all alone when I was on bended knee. If you don't like my story I suggest you turn the page.
Let your hair down, wear something pretty, don't you know, you make us both look good.. Call your momma tell her you're going out tonight,. It's going to be late, hell we might not make it back at all.

Smoky old bars, bright neon lights. Good ole boys and girls of the night. An ice cold beer and a good shot of brandy. I've always had a sweet tooth. For the devil's candy.
No rush though I need your touch. I won't rush your heart. Until you feel on solid ground. Until your strength is found, girl. . I'll fill those canyons in your soul.
The night my baby left me I crossed the bridge to Juarez avenue. Like that movie "Touch of evil" I got the Orson Wells, Marlene Dietrich blues. Where Orson walks in to the whore house and.
I was walking down a quiet road in Ireland. Out beneath those tough old ancient stars. When I thought I heard old Scottish Mike singing Carrick Fergus.
Well I live out in Southern Arizona. I followed an abandoned railroad track. Trains they used run from Bisbee out to Juarez. But the copper mines are closed and the trains ain't comin' back.
My daddy was blue collar. He worked for the man all of his life. He showed up when he didn't want to be there. A man of his word, believed in doing things right.
Let the tears fall like rain. If that's what it takes. To wash away your memory. . Let the hurt take its time. I don't mind waitin'. If that's the way it's gotta be.
