You got none in your pockets You got none in your hands Well, I don't have to see your eyes To know what you're not thinkin' And even when you're not the best You still try hard as hell Well, I saw him walkin' in the alley He stopped to wish me well And he told me go to California 'Cause that's where it all sells And I knew this girl from Atlantic City Full of generality All she could do is talk and smile But she got the best of me And even when you're not the ...

Turn down that highway, turn up that dirt road Well, It's over three days since I left Houston Ole Black's my truck's name She's held together by BF Good tires and bailing wire Well, I went to high school and I was not popular Now I am older, and it don't matter Ole Black's my truck's name She's held together I've slept inside her when I was tired I've been to Paris, and I don't mean Texas Well, I met them vendors one time in London Ole Black's m...

The two-step it drug like a ball and chain While the band was playing something like Moon River or Somewhere Over The Rainbow And I was chasing the black man with the champagne And I was chasing the black girl with the Oysters Rockefeller And it was a highbrow occassion For no special reason And nobody knew Nobody knew That the flowers were furnished by the funeral parlor And the whole thing was paid for by the funeral director Who poisoned the saxophone section And if you ain't the big da...

Oh, it's a long, long while from May to December But the days grow short when you reach September When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame One hasn't got time for the waiting game Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few September, November And these few precious days I'll spend with you These precious days I'll spend with you

Without a song the day would never end Without a song the road would never bend When things go wrong a man ain't got a friend That field of corn would never see a plow That field of corn would be deserted now A man is born but he's no good no how I got my trouble and woe but, sure as I know, the Jordan will roll And I'll get along as long as a song, strong in my soul I'll never know what makes the rain to fall I'll never know what makes that grass so tall I only know there ai...

I heard she sang a good song I heard she had a style And so i come to see her To listen for a while And there she was, This young girl A stranger to my eyes Strumming my pain with her fingers Singing my life with her words Killing me softly with her song Killing me softly with her song Telling my whole life with her words Killing me softly with her song I felt i flushed with fever Embarrassed by the crowd I felt she found my letters And read each one out loud I prayed that she would finish But s...

Sing me a song of sadness And make it as blue as I feel If a tear should appear it's because she's not here Sing a sad song and sing it for me She's unhappy with me, she told me so I'm unhappy without her and I still love her so Sing me a song of sadness Pretend it's the end of the world Sing it soft and sing it low and then I must go Sing a sad song and sing it for me

Can't sleep, trying hard to find a rhyme Can't work, I am tired all the time Can't eat, since my appetite has gone Can't think, when it started to go wrong Can't move, I've no energy to fight Can't see, any end to this in sight Last week, I could do all of those things But now, I am just the man who sings I've searched around for years and years I've drank in bars, destroyed careers Sold on a need to be famous I've seen the good in men survive Only to fai...
