I sat down to my supper
T’was a bottle of red whiskey
I said my prayers and went to bed
That’s the last they saw of me

I need a woman 'bout twice my height
Statuesque, raven-dressed, a goddess of the night.

If you get confused
Listen to the music play

And the name is on the earth that takes it in

Picture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free,
Dizzy with eternity.
Paint it with a skin of sky,
Brush in some clouds and sea,
Call it home for you and me.

Somebody help me get out of Louisiana
Just help me get to Houston town
There are people there who care a little 'bout me
And they won’t let the poor boy down

Nothing shaking on Shakedown Street
Used to be the heart of town
Don’t tell me this town ain’t got no heart
You just got to poke around

broken heart don’t feel so bad

rock your baby to and fro
not too fast and not too slow

Now the race is on and here comes pride up the back stretch
Heartaches are going to the inside
My tears are holding back, trying not to fall

Maybe the sun is shining, birds are singing,
No rain is falling from a heavy sky.
