Well she got her daddy’s car,
And she cruised through the hamburger stand now.
Seems she forgot all about the library,
Like she told her old man now.
And with the radio blasting,
Goes cruising just as fast as she can now.
And she’ll have fun fun fun,
'Til her daddy takes the T-bird away.
There’s a rubber band that plays tunes out of tune
In the library garden Sunday afternoon
While a little chappie waves a golden wand
Don’t you leave in silence with no word at all
Don’t get drunk and slam the door
That’s no way to end this
I know how I want you to say goodbye
Find a circus ring with a flying trapeze
Tell me on a Sunday, please
If ever I would leave you
It wouldn’t be in summer.
Seeing you in summer
I never would go.
I’ll be true to you, yes I will
I’ll be true to you, yes I will
I never promised this to anyone before
But I’ll be true to you, yes I will
And when at last I find you
Your song will fill the air
Sing it loud so I can hear you
Make it easy to be near you
For the things you do endear you to me
Oh, you know, I will
I will
Oh, I love my Rosie child
You got the way to make me happy
You and me, we go in style
Cracklin’ Rose, you’re a store-bought woman
You make me sing like a guitar hummin’
So hang on to me, girl
Our song keeps runnin’ on
Tonight you’re mine, completely
You give your soul so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
Will you love me tomorrow
Will you still need me
Will you still feed me
When I’m 64
I need you like the flower needs the rain,
You know I need you, guess I’ll start it all again,
You know I need you like the winter needs the spring,
You know I need you, I need you.
You gave me strength to stand alone again
To face the world out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me, you needed me
You needed me, you needed me
Listening to my mind
Searching through my thoughts,
For the perfect line,
Using tricks and telepathy, at times…
Do you listen to your mind?
Listen, do you want to know a secret?
Do you promise not to tell?
Whoa-oh-oh, closer
Let me whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear
I’m in love with you, ooh
I can’t stop this feeling deep inside of me
Girl you just don’t realize what you do to me
When you hold me in your arms so tight
You let me know everything’s alright
I’m hooked on a feeling
And I’m high on believing
That you’re in love with me
Whiskey is harder to keep than a woman,
And it’s half as sweet,
But,
Women without Whiskey,
Women without Whiskey,
Whiskey is hard to beat,
Whiskey is hard to beat…
And I’ve been wrong
I’ve been down
Into the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head scream
Are we having fun yet
Write on the cross at the head of my grave
‘For women and whiskey, here lies a poor slave
Take warning, dear stranger, take warning, dear friend’
Then write in big letters these words at the end
Cigarettes, whiskey and wild, wild women
They’ll drive you crazy, they’ll drive you insane
Red skies at night
Red skies at night
Red skies at night
Red skies at night
Should have taken warning, it’s just
People mourning
Running, hiding, lost
You can’t find, find a place to go, so it’s
Red skies at night
I used her, she used me,
But neither one cared,
We were gettin’ our share.
Workin’ on our night moves,
Tryin’ to lose the awkward teenage blues.
Workin’ on our night moves,
And it was summertime,
Sweet summertime, summertime…
Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know,
That baby, you the best
I get that summertime summertime sadness
