Tonight I dreamt we found a fair of wonders. Where the future and the past cannot contain. We were greeted by a spell that took us under. And laid down in a field that revelades.
When I was very young. My daddy took me on his knees. Son, there some things I wanna learn you. Before you get away from me. . Don't let nobody boss you much.
Come all ye young cowboys and listen to me. And don't waste your life on that ol' hanging tree. And don't think that size ever makes man small. You find out it's nothing at all.
Well you pass around the pipe and you all get high. You never even stop and wonder why. Maybe it's because you wanna die. Maybe it's just the way things have to be.
Well, down in Mississippi, there's a little bitty town. And there ain't much happens 'till the sun goes down. Then all the people come from miles around.
From a town in Louisiana on the wrong side of the tracks. Came a rowdy ragin' Cajun by the name of Rupernac. He was harder than a hickory long and thinner than a rail.
I traced my footprints through the sands of yesterday. Back the way I came I was returning. And then I saw me standing just across the river. Just across the bridge that I?d left burning.
Well, I was born in Carolina, way back in the swamp. I was a happy country boy 'til television came along. It showed them far away places and it sho' was a bitch.

He wears a zoot suit with a reet pleat,. Drives a '36 Cord with a rumble seat.. He's a jitterbug; scare the letters off a highway sign.. He drinks beer and eats bennies.
Oh, I know wanna sound weak. Is lookin' old and time to seek. While the hooker in the doorway. Leaves to turn another cheek. . And the jukebox in the Camberlay.
Thinks he's a tough guy. Superfly. Stays high. Sneakin' down the alleyway to make another buy. Talkin' 'bout a big deal. Big wheel. Nothin's real. Wouldn't know the truth if it looked him in the eye.
It rained all night in Frisco and my sleeping bag got soaked. I woke up this morning, I was cold and wet and broke. I lit up my last cigarette at the California line.
The devil went down to Georgia. He was lookin' for a soul to steal. He was in a bind. Cause he was way behind. And he was willin' to make a deal. . When he came across this young man.
Blue star, over my shoulder;. Blue star, can't you see;. Blue star, it's a little colder;. She's gone away from me.. . CHORUS. And I wish I'd never seen her, with the sunlight in her eyes,.
