[Chorus]. When Leonard finally came to California. He was twenty-one years old, as I recall. He loved to write a song and pick on the guitar. And he came to hang a gold one on the wall.
Kids get lonesome too. So this song's just for you. When you get lonely. All ages go insane. Even young love causes pain. When you get lonely. . Bad days come in pairs.
Like the ancient Roman empire, this world is doomed to fall. And it's much too big a thing for mortal man. Just take a look around and see the writing on the wall.
Last night we had a hell raisin' time. Nippin' on tequila and suckin' on limes. Sunrise chased the good time away. And good morning would have been the wrong thing to say.
I'd love to shout my feelin's from a mountain high. Tell the world I love her and I will till I die. There's no way the world will understand that love is colour blind.
If you've got time to say goodbye. Have mercy on a guy that's gonna miss you. I know you're in a hurry. But consider all the hurt I'm going through. .
You must have been mad at me when you said I'm in love with you. And you made me believe in you and that you wanted me. If you really had love in mind and it hurtin' me all this time.
Did you ever steal a quarter when you was 10 years old?. Ever wear a brogan with a hole in the sole?. Did you ever ride a freight train while runnin' from the law?.
Yeah I'm a good loser born to be that way this dog he never had his day. Yeah I'm a good loser so don't worry bout my pride. Me don't look back you can't see my hurt inside.
Revenge must be the reason,. Why forgiveness was a thing I never knew.. And someday soon I know you plan to hurt me,. But don't plan on getting by with the things you do..
I feel like a stranger in this home I built for you. And I can't understand this awful change you're going through. But lately I've been watching you grow colder every day.
I never thought I'd ever conquer my weakness. Cause everybody knows that my weakness is you. But the answer came this morning. And you should be the first to hear.
I just wanna look at you one more time. I always like to know how much I leave behind. Let this be the picture that I'll always have in mind. I just wanna look at you one more time.
I don't want to sober up tonight. I don't want to act like things are alright. And I don't want to change just to make you think I'm happy. That's my right, I don't want to sober up tonight.
I can't stand me sine I lost you and I can't stand nobody else. I can't stand me since you went away and I gotta get away from myself. . I used to be a high-stepper with a lot on the ball my friends all called me Ace.
I'm going off of the deep end. And I'm slowly losing my mind. And I disagree with the way (ha-ha) I'm living. But I can't hold myself in line. . You give me no reason for my drinkin'.
I've been runnin' from life. I keep runnin' from life. Hey, I'm still runnin' from life. But I can't get away. . I'd settle down if I could. 'Cause there's one thing well understood.
Holding things together. Ain't no easy thing to do. When it comes to raisin' children. It's a job - meant for two. Alice please believe me. I can't go on and on.
It may be down the south in Alabama. Or maybe just a little old one horse town. It could be on the back streets of Chicago. But if it's home it's still the greatest place around.
It's four a.m. in New York City three a.m. in Dallas. The night is still early here in Frisco. Market street's still going the same old shows are showing.
