Robert Earl Keen piosenki

When the sun goes down on the wild frontier the stars come out so bright and clear. That big round moon shines down from above. The wind sings a tune on this night right for love. I hold you near as we lie in the dark and all that I hear is the beat of your h...

The first of the month Brings back the notion Of a big round white dance hall and a cool summer night Red cherry faces set black shoes in motion To the oom pa pa rythym of a German delight And I tried hard to tell you I was no kinda dancer 'Took my hand to p...

Streets are almost empty, the shops are all closed down There's not a soul left in the bar to tell my troubles to Think I'll walk down to the river that runs just south of town I hate like hell when there ain't nothin' left to do But stand beneath the river br...

I'm long past hungry I need a bed I got some real wild things Runnin' through my head Oh Rosie, don't forget me now I've been to Tulsa And New Mexico Still got Tucson and Colorado left to go Oh Rosie don't forget me now Do you remember Our lucky star We gav...

It's been ten long years since I left my home In the hollow where I was born Where the cool fall nights make the wood smoke rise And the foxhunter blows his horn I fell in love with a girl from the town I thought that she would be true I ran away to Charlotte...

In the purple setting sun, she rides her horse around the ring Gives him a kick, he starts to run, keeping time and galloping They ride around until they're free, into the wilderness unknown Living out her fantasy on that brave strawberry roan On and on (on a...

They broke into you car last night Took the stereo Now you say you don't know why You even live there anymore The garage man didn't see a thing So you guess it was an inside job You made a reservation Table for three Said you had to wait Somebody must've brib...

I slipped through your fingers into the clouds Ran down the concrete hallways Pushed through the crowds. I watched by the water Reached for the sun Why did I bother What's done is done And all that's left of me now Is waiting to drown Over the waterfall (fal...

I gave up the fast lane for a blacktop county road Just burned out on all that talk about the motherlode I traded for a songbird, a bigger piece of sky When I miss the good old days I can't imagine why Still I get restless and drive into town I cruise once do...

When all the world comes fallin down Around my weary head And all my fantasies and dreams Lie dyin or lay dead When my horoscope says « sorry Rob Your out of luck today » I dont mess around a bit This is what I say : Fuck it It dont bother me Fuck it Lets wa...

A smokin', long black Cadillac; the engine's winding down He parked it up on the sidewalk like he owned the whole damn town I saw him talking to some chick through a thick ghost of smoke Through a thicker haze of Southern Comfort and Coke "Say girl you're hot...

Poor Ellen Smith how she was found Shot through the heart lying cold on the ground Her clothers were all scattered and thrown on the ground And blood marks the spot where poor Ellen was found They picked up their rifles and hunted me down And found me a loafi...

I see this woman everyday Dancin' on the corner at the Gas & Pay Whirlin' and a-twirlin' in the bright sunshine With her earbuds on and a cardboard sign They say that she once was a workin' girl It's a wigged out, weired out, wild and a wacky world Get re...

It's a busted old town on the plains of West Texas. The drugstore's closed down, and the river's run dry. The semis roll through like stainless steel stallions Goin' hard, goin' fast, goin' wild Rollin' hard, rollin' fast, rollin' by. And the mission still st...

It's midnight on the interstate and I'm flying like a bird I was talking to a friend of mine, he said "Have you heard the word?" "I've got some people comin' by to celebrate the show, Some of them are new in town and some of them you know" I've got a local sta...

We made Oklahoma a little after 3 Randy, his brother Bob and my old GMC We had some moonshine whisky And some of Bob's homegrown We were so messed up we didn't know If we were drunk or stoned Randy was a sad-sack, tall kinda frail Bob was a raving maniac, cr...

When the wind don't blow in Amarillo When the moon along the Gunnison don't rise And I cast my dreams upon your love babe And lie beneath the laughter of your eyes Snowin' on Raton Come morning I'll be through them hills and gone Snowin' on Raton Come morning...

I'm tired to the bone My back is to the wall I've been on my own So long I can't recall Take me in your arms tonight Hold me to your breast Tell me it will be alright So I can take my rest So I can take my rest Maine to Mexico Across the great divide Through...

I am the king of burning daylight, holdin' my own I've been doin' alright, leaving well enough alone My Daddy told me I was lazy, my momma said, I love you too I kind of like just, doin' nothing It's something that I do I kind of like just, doin' nothing It's...

Kathy, there was time when I thought of no one else but me and myself being on my own. And how can I start to apologize for not being there to dry your eyes when you were all alone. Flesh and blood Kathy, Eye to Eye, You're my friend and family, You've been...
