The sandman is calling Your adlibs are falling Like stars shooting out the sky The dewdrops they glisten As we lie here and listen To sound of the night's lullaby Sleep tight little darling You'll rise in the morning And heaven will keep you from harm As you lie in your sweet mother's arms As you lie in your sweet mother's arms The twilight brings trouble The moon ever struggles To shine like his brother the sun The wind reassures him With thunder and lightning Darkness declare...

Was it the champagne Was it the caviar Was it her airplane Was it her daddy's car Was it the new thing With all the dough Why I don't know I just had to go Was that the yacht club Or just a fishing boat Was that the leg of lamb Or was it a billy goat Was that a snail baby Or escargot Why I don't know I just had to go I'm just a poor boy I like to have fun I know a pretty girl when I see one I've seen the real thing The imitation too So don't go telling me what to do Wa...

She's got big red lips She's got big brown eyes When she treats me right It's a big surprise She won't do anything That she said she would She makes me feel good She makes me feel good I ask her come here baby She tells me no, no I ask me drive me here She tells me drive your own She likes to race my motor Then slam my hood She makes me feel good She makes me feel good When the angels look down from above They see a very special love How she makes me do what no one could She ma...

It's a busted old town On the plains of West Texas The drugstore's closed down The river's run dry And the semis roll through Just like stainless steel stallions Goin' hard, goin' fast, goin' wild Rollin' hard, rollin' fast, rollin' by Now, the mission still stands At the edge of the plateau And a stone marks the graves Where the old cowboys lie Asleep in a time In a town, just a young man Goin' hard, goin' fast, goin' wild Rollin' hard, rol...
