Jerry Jeff Walker piosenki

How many times in the lonely night Someone you'd like to know passed you by With heartfelt words a chance to speak But two ladies down the street Cast off that shell Don't resist the unknown Your understandin' is open-handed Hold it closed and you're alone S...

Me and my friends are getting long in the tooth After three or four decades of seeking the truth Trying to recover from misspent youth And gradually giving in to knowledge I know a picker who moved to Nepal And another buddy's got a little shop in a mall Some...

We come on the sloop John be My grandfather and me Around Nassau town we did roam Drinking all night Got into a fight Well I feel so broke up I want to go home So hoist up the John be 's sail See how the mainsail sets Call for the Captain ashore Let me go ho...

When the telephone woke me this morning, I'm sorry was the first thing I said From that point it get's a bit fuzzy, thinking with half a head Putting the pieces together, it's shocking to flash on the past 'Cause when you are known as a rascal, you can bet you...

As I walked into a run down bar The sign said a one man band He was sittin' on top of a bar stool A guitar held in his hand And the lines he was singing 'bout a memory ringin' I heard this old broken down star Singing women and whiskey you know they will get y...

A soldier rides on a train to Tennessee And half asleep he dreams it isn't a dream With each flick of the wheels a new face goes by With each face he loves he turns and sighs And he's headed home Yes, yes, he's headed home Tryin' to find his life again 'Cause...

For some kicks I went drinking, with some old hounds I ran with While you were away for the day Now the guys hadn't changed much, the scene seemed the same In the way that the night games are played [Chorus] Without you I'd be one of the ones who just stumble...

I don't drink as much as I used to 'Cause lately that just ain't my style. And the hard times don't hurt like they ought'a They pass quickly like when I was a child. And lately I've learnt how to listen To a sound like the sun going down In the magic that mor...

Well, I was standin' at a big hotel, just wishin' everybody well If anybody paid me any mind, it was hard to tell Then a big cop on his beat, took out his pistol and pointed at me Lookin' down the barrel, I swore I saw the gates of hell Standing at the big hot...

Woke up today, rain comin’ down, Wonderin’ where all my friends are now. They’re not around; no they’re not in town Used to be me on my way, Now I’m the one who sits and stays, And lays em down, and kicks the blues around. When those old blues come rollin’ ‘r...

I first ran into Stoney. . . it was a bar downtown; Was Richmond, Virginia. . . we were bumming around, Suitcase to suitcase. . . we started him talking, Finding out about the things we've shared in the miles we've been. He had a gray pillowcase full of b...

I tried my best just to stay at rest When the moon and the wind both died But you locked me in with your best friend Honey your window was open wide I escaped in time to see your man Truckin' in that bar again He was fondlin' Lucy and singin' to Suzy Suckin' u...

Here I go again, I hear those trumpets blow again. All aglow again, takin' a chance on love. Here I slide again, about to take that ride again. Starry-eyed again, takin' a chance on love. I thought that cards were a frame-up, I never would try. Now I'm taking...

I'm takin' it as it comes And you know that it comes to everyone I'm just sittin' back here Gettin' high and drinking beer And I'm just takin' it as it comes Well you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't Makes a man stop and wonder if he will or...

Hadn't slept in days and had no sense of time, My mind and body ached and I just wanted to unwind. So I made my way along a road by some cactus trees, To a little house of wood and stone where I heard she'd be. The word I heard was she could take your blues aw...

I woke up this morning, Texas on my mind Thinking about my friends, and a girl I left behind The way she held me when we kissed, the loving we've done And how I left her waving goodbye, standing in a Texas sun Chorus: I've got half a mind to call her, half a...

Well I found her in a pawnshop Somewhere up in Ohio Where I guess some rounder came up short And he had to let her go Cost me ninety dollars But she's worth much more by far Cause I never had a better friend Than that old beat up guitar She didn't look like t...

And that old time feelin' goes sneakin' down the hall, Like an old gray cat in winter, keepin' close to the wall. And that old time feelin' comes stumblin' up the street, Like an old salesman kickin' the papers from his feet. And that old time feelin' dra...

The cycle of life is here To see in all of its fine simplicity But the way we live it seems to be, Something very weird to me And I cry out For pettiness like lady's chatter Seems to complicate the matter I grit my teeth as my senses chatter For nothing g...

Eight years old with a floursack cape Tied all around his neck He climbed up on the garage Figurin' what the heck He screwed his courage up so tight The whole thing came unwound He got a runnin' start and bless his heart He headed for the ground He's one of t...
