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.
I got High John in my pocket. And mud in my shoes. Walked all the way from Mississippi. Just to spread the news. . Don't care for idle conversation. I'm not your girl about town.
[Chorus]. I hear the wind a-blowing through the lonesome pine. And I know my love is gone too. I hear the wind a-blowing through the lonesome pine. That's why I'm blue, love, so blue.
Homebreaker that's what you're calling me. But he stopped loving you before he came to me. . You're sayin' that I broke up your home and that I stole your man.
I'm standing in the courtroom. The trial is for my life. The jury found me guilty. The crime is killing twice. I found him with another I guess he loved her best.
Come all you kind people, my story to hear. What happened to me in June of this year. It was poor Ellen Smith. And how she was found with a ball in her heart.
[Doctor:]. Test, check. Well, he's been released again today, and I'm going back where I started.. Looking over old notes, listening to tapes, wondering how bad I potentially messed up this time..
One and one, were having some fun. In the bedroom all day and all of the night. Two and two, I took off my shoes. In the bedroom all day and all of the night.
Well, we're gonna dance in the street tonight. Well now dance in the street tonight. We're gonna dance to the beat to the heart of the sweet. We're gonna dance in the street tonight.
Put me on a boat on the mighty mississippi. Let old man river slow me down. Been too long gone from my sweet dixie. Chasin' a dream from town to town.
Oh, how sweet, the pain like silver. Your blood is blue and green at night. Your eyes seek fear, your sighs are tears. Of long lost, loving passion. Your veins are hot with anguished blood.
I read your letter, made me feel better. How did you know that I was singing the blues?. I felt your sunshine, made me feel so fine. How did you know that I was thinking of you?.
I know that he gave His life for me. Set all our spirits free. So I wanna do right, wanna do right. All of my life. . I never dreamed, I could be holding you.
Do your dreams ever take you back when love was new. Does your heart ever long for those days when love was true. Seems like that magic of yesterday has just slipped away.
I was a car hop, you were into the be-bop. You sang do-wop-diddy, wop-diddy, wop-doo. All of them changes you put me through. . If I could go back again, well I know I'd never let you go.
Sometimes I get so angry with you. You treat me like an old worn out shoe. I've been here for you, for oh, so long. . One day you could reach and find me gone.
We broke each other's heart last night. We both were losers in a fight. Did we finally cross that borderline. And go a little bit too far this time. I know I said some things that really hurt.
I'm the answer to every question you ever had. I know how it feels I know it ain't that bad. you have all you could want. every end a new start. you know how good it could be.
I'm keeping my calendar open. Even if it takes me years. Till you figure out what your plan is. You figure out all of your fears. . I don't wanna know anything about her.
We doing a hundred on the highway, switchin lane after lane. If the po po come then let em, aint no stopping today. We brought out them horses tonight, the big blocks.
