So don’t you go and say goodbye
You can lay your worries down
And stay with me
And don’t you ever leave
Hey! I love it when you’re spitting in my face
The way you scream when your breaking all my things
I love the way you put me in my place
Don’t ever leave me alone
Hey! I love it when you rip my heart away
You hold it in my face so I can see
I love the way you bring me to my knees
Don’t ever leave me alone.
December promise you gave unto me
December whispers of treachery
The full moon is calling, the fever is high
And the wicked wind whispers and moans
Whistle down the wind
Let your voices carry
Drown out all the rain
Light a patch of darkness
Treacherous and scary
Nothin’ lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it’s hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain
Kentucky rain keeps pouring down
And up ahead’s another town that I’ll go walking through
With the rain in my shoes (rain in my shoes)
Searchin’ for you
In the cold Kentucky rain
I thumbed my way from LA back to Knoxville,
I found those bright lights ain’t where I belonged.
From a phone booth in the rain I called to tell her,
I’ve had a change of dreams, I’m comin’ home.
But tears filled my eyes when I found out she was gone…
Where are you calling from?
A booth in the Midwest.
If we make it through December
Got plans to be in a warmer town
Come summertime
If we make it through December
We’ll be fine…
Now I’m up here in Alaska, looking around for gold
Like a crazy fool I’m digging in this frozen ground so cold
But with each new day I pray I’ll strike it rich and then
I’ll go back home and claim my love in Saginaw, Michigan
It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw
I’ve gone to look for America
On the boats and on the planes,
They’re coming to America.
Never looking back again,
They’re coming to America.
Decorations of red on our green Christmas tree
Trains and bloats and planes are passing by
They mean a trip to Paris or Rome
For someone else but not for me
The trains and the boats and planes
Took you away, away from me
We were so in love and high above
We had a star to wish upon
Wish and dreams come true, but not for me
The trains and the boats and planes
Took you away, away from me
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you’ll wait for me
Hold me like you’ll never let me go
‘Cause I’m leavin’ on a jet plane
Don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
Have I a hope or half a chance
To even ask if I could dance with you
You-hoo
Would you greet me or politely turn away
Would there suddenly be sunshine on a cold and rainy day
Oh babe, what would you say
Lets keep this party polite
Never get out of my sight
Stick with me baby, I’m the fella you came in with
Luck be a lady tonight
And when he finished speakin’
He turned back toward the window
Crushed out his cigarette
And faded off to sleep
And somewhere in the darkness
The gambler he broke even
And in his final words
I found an ace that I could keep
There’s a place in the world
For a gambler
There’s a burden that only
He can bear
There’s a place in the world
For a gambler,
And he sees
Oh, yes he sees
And he sees
Oh, yes he sees
