So you're leaving. In the morning. On the early train. I could say everything's alright. I could pretend and say good bye. . Got your ticket. Got your suitcase.
I walked a long way down a dead end street,. Now I'm beginning to understand,. I'm not to crazy cause my life is incomplete.. Without your love,. . You've got control of every move I make,.
Well I tried my best but that ain't enough. I'm tryin' to forget you and it's gettin' mighty tough. The blues just follow me around the whole day through.
Off and on. So many times. The good and the bad. Kept changing my mind. Black or white,. Which would it be?. I was stranded at grey, wanting everything.
Coming into town at the speed of light. This is Franklin County, you got that right. The law is on my trail, babe, I gotta git. Around Rafes turn foot down to the floor.
I can't stop loving you. I've made up my mind. To live in memories. Of the lonesome time. . I can't stop wanting you. It's useless to say. So I'll just live my life.
When I was young they took me to the dentist. I had a toothache, but that's okay. They gave me some time and that night in my bedroom. I worked it loose, like I used to do.
She was fading. Couldn't save her with my cursing. At the laughing Lord in his golden chair. She said "Leave me alone boy. . Can't you see I'm dying here".
I can't stop loving you, so I've made up my mind. To live in memory of old lonesome times. I can't stop wanting you, it's useless to say. So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday.
Well in North Carolina way back in the hills. Lived my pappy and he had 'im a still. He brewed white lightning till the sun went down. Fill 'im a jug and he pass it around.
