"Kristine" lyrics

"Kristine"

Well I left this mornin' early
Tryin' to beat the snow
Me and ol' dog Charlie
In the rain
And we drove through Oklahoma
It's a long long way to go
Wonderin' how we got this far
And why we came this way

Maybe I'll play for all the people I can find
Maybe I'll write a hit song make the big time
Maybe I'll change the world
It's like my mama said
Maybe I'll just get stoned
And call Kristine

Well the winter blew through Texas
Onto New Mexico
And the rain turned into sleet
And the sleet turned into snow
And the snow came down buckets
And the cars they started to slide
And me and my old dog Charlie
Started looking for a place to hide

Maybe I'll play for all the people I can find
Maybe I'll write a hit song every day and night
Maybe I'll go see Bonnie
And I'll don't know what to say
Maybe I'll just get stoned

Well we made it through the snowstorm
Feelin' lucky to be alive
So I stopped in for a coffee
Charlie pissed on the great divide
And we went south through Arizona
Found a place to stay
Laid down while feeling hopeful
Ready for another day

Maybe I'll play for all the people I can find
Maybe I'll go to Nashville and hit the big time
Maybe I'll go see Bonnie
And I'll don't know what to say
Maybe I'll just get stoned

Maybe I'll play for all the people I can find
Maybe I'll write a hit song make the big time
Maybe I'll change the world
It's like my mama said
Maybe I'll just get stoned
And call Kristine
