I had a friend named Bill Campbell he used to rob steal and gamble And on the side he'd beg so he mopped up Well I told ol' Billy shouldn't do but ol' Bill said that he knew it So he started beggin' with a bucket instead of a cup He's in the jailhouse now he's...

He washed all the road dirt from his face and from his neck And sat down at her table and she picked up his check. And she took him home for reasons that she did not understand. And him, he had the answers but did not play his hand. For him he knew the taste o...

Hear that old tune come driftin' down the hall Trying to put a stop to clock on the wall Free flowin' free flown Lord mama how that old thief time carries on Take off your old coat and let down your hair Kick off them boots hon I don't care it's only time and...

Now I don't mind workin' hard You can't burn me down They ain't made a job That I can't work my way around Sometime I do it for the money Sometime for the glamour Sometime I use my head Sometime I get a bigger hammer I worked on the railroad I worked in the f...

Pack up all your dishes. Make note of all good wishes. Say goodbye to the landlord for me. That son of a bitch has always bored me. Throw out them LA papers And that moldy box of vanilla wafers. Adios to all this concrete. Gonna get me some dirt road back stre...

He's a wino, tried and true. Done about everything there is to do. He worked on freighters, he worked in bars. He worked on farms, 'n he worked on cars. It was white port, that put that look in his eye That grown men get when they need to cry And he sat down...

I found comfort and courage from bottles of whiskey. I swear to you friends these old high times sure seem risky. I have backed away gently from those who tried to burn me. And blocked up my ears that no one should learn me. [Chorus:] But the lady beside me i...

The Lone Star Hotel Cafe is nothing but a dive, And Florence Smith showed up there, Lord every day at five Florence was a waitress Have I mentioned that before? Serving beer to strangers and to some she'd seen before Florence used to ride a little Apaloosa ma...

Oh the beautiful red-haired Madonna with child Sat on the curb wearin' a smile That doubled up the years And trebled the miles And comforts the babe In the softest of style She work up in San Francisco On the day she turned 16 Haight St. was somethin' then H...

I ain't lookin' for trouble I can't stay here tonight I got to leave here on the double If I want to see the morning light Don't need no pistol for the tickets I've got just enough to get us down the line I don't know what happens next Your guess is just as go...

I'd rather sleep in a box like a bum on the street Than a fine feather bed without your little ol' cold feet And I'd rather be deaf, dumb, and stone blind Than to know that your mornings will never be mine And I'd rather die young than to live without you I'd...

I've smeared my heart on my sleeve I've tagged my name on the wall It's prob'ly time for me to leave Actin' big and talkin' small I've tracked blood in on the floor I put my first through the wall I've dragged trouble through the door And I've spilled wine on...

Hooray for the drinkin' warm red wine On a day both bright and fair Hooray for the layin' and playin' a tune On the sunlight through your hair, your hair The sunlight through your haur Well I wish that I was a fiddle bow Flyin across the strings And you;ve tak...

Now down by the creek where the water goes slow The green-backed heron and the moccasin know All things come to him who waits Yet he is lost who hesitates Life and death just dancin' 'round in the mud Well, The light comes down through the limbs and the leave...

My favorite picture of you Is the one where you're staring Straight into the lens It's just a polaroid shot Someone took on the spot No beginning no end It's just a moment in time You can't have back You never left but your bags were packed Just in case My...

I ain't gonna sing no lonesome tune Ah, babe, I'm a comin' soon I cannot believe I stayed so long away But a man must look around You're the sweetest thing I've found All your lost high roller's rollin' home today Well, my Daddy said to me "Son, it's hard as...

He's down a dead end road And he don't know where The right front tire Is gonna need some air Up around the bend Just a two pump place So he pulls in To get his bearings straight And he thumbs back Through his life The pages cut Just like a knife One by one H...

It's like when you're making conversation And you're trying not to scream And you're trying not to tell 'em You don't care what they mean And you're really feeling fragile And you really can't get home And you really feel abandoned But you want to be alone [C...

Cowboys and Indians and trees he could climb Tomorrow came too fast but he didn't mind Ah the distance was short so light it again It don't take no time to get where I am But one paper kid wasn't really so mean Just a little bit scared and a little bit green...

I was sittin' on the fender of someone else's truck Drinking Old Crow whisky, hot 7-up Out in the parking lot You can hear the band a playin right through the wall Ain't no cover charge, there ain't no last call Out in the parking lot Now there's a couple of...
