I looked around and all up and down. I never wasted time on two or three. There's only one girl for me. . There was a time she used to treat me fine. But lately she's been acting awful stoned.
In the black dust towns of East Tennessee. All the works about the same. Well you may not go to a job in the ground. But you'll learn the Miner's Refrain.
The finest silver needle. Shouldn't ever slide between. When lovers stand as parting friends. Gonna put myself on a leaving train. And I won't come back again.
Oh me oh my oh, look at Miss Ohio. She's a-running around with her rag-top down. She says I want to do right but not right now. . Gonna drive to Atlanta and live out this fantasy.
Saw a girl on the street from my home. Like a fire on the hillside she shown. And I knew right then that my best days were gone. And I'd been, been in the lowlands too long.
I want to sing that rock and roll.. I want to 'lectrify my soul,. 'Cause everybody been making a shout. So big and loud, been drowning me out.. I want to sing that rock and roll..
Nobody knows what waits ahead. Beyond the earth and sky. Lie-d Lie-d Lie. I'm not afraid to die. . And there the work of my own hand. Be broken by and by.
I made a lover's prayer. I made a lover's prayer. Then watched the sky. Then wanted to cry. It's only you and I. And how I try. I made a lover's prayer.
I can't be called. Begged or bought. If you want to be my. Johnny on the spot. . [Chorus]. Honey now now now. Honey now now now. You know later won't.
Oh, I dream a highway back to you, love. A winding ribbon with a band of gold. A silver vision, come and rest my soul. I dream a highway back to you. .
Everything is free now, that's what they say. Everything I ever done, gonna give it away. Someone hit the big score, they figured it out. They were gonna do it anyway, even if it doesn't pay.
Balled out wasted and I feel I'm going down. Balled out wasted and I feel I'm going down. Good bye darling, I've been good 'til now. . I went walking with a girl as pure as milk.
I want to go all over the world. And start living free. I know that there's somebody who. Is waiting for me. I'll build a boat, steady and true. As soon as it's done.
When the iceberg hit,. Oh they must have known,. God moves on the water. Like Casey Jones.. . So I walked downtown. On my telephone,. And took a lazy turn.
When I cross over. I will shout and sing. I will know my savior. By the mark where the nails have been. . [Chorus]. By the mark where the nails have been.
Caleb Meyer, he lived alone. In them hollarin' pines. He made a little whiskey for himself. Said it helped to pass the time. . Late one evening in back of my house,.
Oh the night came undone like a party dress. And fell at her feet in a beautiful mess. The smoke and the whiskey came home in her curls. And they crept through the dreams of the barroom girls.
The fairest bloom the mountain know. Is not an iris or a wild rose. But the little flower of which I'll tell. Known as the brave agony bell. . Just a simple flower so small and plain.
Darling remember from when you come to me. That Im the pretender,. I?m not what I'm supposed to be. But who could know, lf I'm a traitor?. Times the revelator, revelator.
When I cross over. I will shout and sing. I will know my savior. By the mark where the. Nails have been. . [Chorus]. By the mark where the. Nails have been.
