"Maybe A Moment" lyrics
"Maybe A Moment"
Get in the car for me
Know there's nothing to do around here during the week
So we're going to Memphis to get out of town
Going to Memphis to mess around
I got a bottle of Thunderbird in the trunk
I know a place if there's anything you want
This old man runs the store
He'll sell anything to anyone
But I don't know what times it closes up
So think about it
But baby, don't take too much time
Maybe only a moment
May be the time of your life
The boys might look rough
But they're not tough, between me and you
Though they can be cruel
Like the girl Les is going on about
He just said she's got a pretty mouth
So you see
What I'm dealing with
How's the old saying go
With friends like this
Don't worry or weep
I'm bound to be back by morning time
Maybe only a moment
May be the time of your life
Come on
Baby, come on
Ain't you ever stayed out all night long
I know your brother
He don't scare me
Why do he need to tell your mamma anything
If I'm bothering you, let me know
Ain't we damn near grown?
Maybe it's Tuesday
Maybe it's damn near midnight
Maybe only a moment
May be the time of your life
Maybe only a moment
May be the time of your life

Man I ended up with pockets full of dust

John Prine - "Ain't Hurtin' Nobody" I'm a-walkin' down the street like Lucky Larue
Got my hand in my pocket, thinkin' 'bout you

Rayland Baxter - "Yellow Eyes" There's a paperclip resting on my countertop
Sunday morning I forgot
What it's like to lose a friend
Yesterday, how it seemed so far away
And I've said all I can say
Now it's time I get to going
Now...

That's what you told me baby
That day at the wall

Yes, I followed you, baby -
I was looking for the answer
Were you trying to...

The fruits of his labor
Fall and rot slowly on the ground
His work is almost over
It won't be long and he won't be around
I love my father, and he could use...
