I lost a woman. I believe to be perfect for me. You could replace her. But you're so much younger than me. . Our lives are so different. Our music is not the same kind.
Wake up, don't just lay there like cold granite stone. Wake up, we're too close to be alone. Wake up, and please, darling, hold me if you would. Don't just lay there like you've gone away for good.
I lost my job in Saginaw working on the railroad. After twenty years they just put me on the side. Now I'm hungry in the street with no place to hang my hat.
Feelin' tired and weary from my head down to my shoes. Feelin' tired and weary from my head down to my shoes. Got a low down feelin' truck driver's blues.
Tulare dust in a farm boy's nose. Wondering where the freight train goes. Standin' in the field by the railroad track. Cursin' this strap on my cotton sack.
Feelin' tired and weary from my head down to my shoes. Feelin' tired and weary from my head down to my shoes. Got a low down feelin' truck driver's blues.
Sometimes songs are done by singers that don't mean them. And at times I've done the same and couldn't sing them. At times I've written songs about some things I didn't do.
Sixty-six was still a narrow two-lane highway. Harry Truman was the man who ran the show. The bad Korean war was just beginning. And I was just three years too young to go.
Oh the sunny side of my life is the side you're living on. Grey skies never come when I'm with you. Good times hang around only when you're here at home.
I was born the running kind, leaving always on my mind. Home was never home to me at anytime. Every front door found me open I would find the back door open.
I receive my big promotion, down at the lumber yard. And my income tax return will soon be due. I just made my last big payment on my 68 Corver. The only trouble with me is you.
Your strange love was what I found. The day the rains came down. And I remember we found shelter in the cave. With the rain clouds up above. In the darkness we found love.
The pieces are all falling together. The picture is coming in view. When I thought the end was upon me. I found my purpose in you. . And let the power that made.
Admitting you're to blame. Won't heal my wounded pride. It's too late to be ashamed. I've already stepped aside. . Just let me live again. And please don't come around.
Warm red wine you know that place where you take me some times. Where my caress have wings and fly right off my shoulder. Where I leave my cares behind and for a while find peace of mind.
A day with no sleep, a night with no love. And life without you on my side. If I had to lay down without you on my side. Nightmares would throw both my eyes open wide.
With my ears I have heard the eagle call my name. He flew in from the night to talk to me. We talked about his freedom and he spoke with great concern.
It gets longer in between each time you call. I'd be safe in saying you no longer care at all. We're never seem together like we used to. Be tell me darling whatever happened to me.
Mirrors don't lie, a mirror won't lie. So don't be lookin' if you can't stand to see. Mirrors don't lie, a mirror won't lie. I know it's so 'cause one just told the truth on me.
Little bit of Bakersfield. I'm a honky tonk night time man. I can't stand no light. I'm a honky tonk night time man. I can't stand no light. I get my rest in the day time.
