She comes home late at night. Kicks her high-heels off and sighs. Lays down on the bed. . She said it's been a long day at work. I couldn't wait til I got home.
Grand daddy used to take me. Down town to the kinneys. That's where all the old men go to reminisce. Ramble on about history dust off some old stories.
I'm tired of this 9 to 5. 8 hours feeling like over time. And my mind's reminding me,. I got a show tonight. . Getting home, it's already 8:30. My strings are old and man, my clothes are dity.
She's stopping by real late tonight, just to talk.. She said "I got some things that been weighing on my mind. And I know I can come there".. And we just sit and we talk a while.
You aint nothin like your memory. At least it hangs around. And that old photograph you gave me. Girl I can't bare to lay it down. And when this bottles empty.
Yeah, I worked all week.. Cleaned up, clean cut, and clean shaved.. Get the cover off the '68.. Fire it up, and let them horses sing.. A little pretty thing..
It's all around town. Here's ten cents for mistakes he's made. It's all word of mouth. Oh but they say that's the price you pay. When you're in with the wrong crowd.
Grew up one state North of Kentucky. A Family far from rollin' in the money. 7 brothers and sisters to feed and love. Granddaddy said she kept her eyes on the sky,.
So man you think you wanna run whiskey. Well roll with me but you better listen good and clear. If you got a badge or a big mouth brother you ain't got no business here.
There's a live oak tree. You can still see off old 129. You can see the scars, its missing bark. Where it stopped my truck that night. . They say I took a swing at my best friend.
I had a buddy come down 'round last July. Called me when he crossed the Mason-Dixon Line. Said he was headed down south and looking for a real good time.
Saturday night my first high school dance. Showin' up late in my sundays best. Seen you before ahh but not in that dress. The dj's last song and I lost the dare.
This city's looking like a ghost town. All the stores downtown they've been closing down. Yeah, the only lights that shine for miles. Are lighting up the sky above memorial drive.
Growing up I was always mama's angel,. Never thought I'd ever fall from grace.. I was taught to walk with God and run from trouble,. But I ran with a crowd that was bound to change my ways..
I set out one night in the fast lane bound for freedom. In a truck that daddy bought me. And money mom had saved for school. . I laid down all my books and picked up the drinking.
