I am, I said To no one there, And no one heard at all.
Sometimes, I wish that I could stop you from talking when I hear the silly things that you say.
We were barely 17 and we were barely dressed.
Those foolish kids can’t be ready for the love that’s come their way.
Yes I’m ready, come and get it while it’s hot
Like a devil, meant for better things, I will find my place on high
I ran down to the levee but the devil caught me there, He took my twenty dollar bill and vanished in the air
The devil went down to Georgia, he was lookin’ for a soul to steal
I said hey Carmen, come on, let’s go downtown. She said, I got to go, but my friend can stick around.
For reasons unexplained, she loved the Monkey Man.
And he’s gonna break her heart to pieces, but she don’t want to see
She’s a woman in love, but it’s not me
I don’t know how to love him.
What to do, how to move him.
It ain’t me! It ain’t me! I ain’t no fortunate son!
All your friends are calling you a fool, cause you don’t know a good thing when you’ve got it in your hands.
The thoughts of a fool’s kind of careless
I’m just a fool waiting on the wrong block
What a fool believes he sees, no wise man has the power to reason away. What seems to be is always better than nothing.
I got plenty of nothing, and nothing’s plenty for me.
But when there’s too much of nothing, it just makes a fella mean.
I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.
Regrets, I’ve had a few.
