"Round The Bend" lyrics
"Round The Bend"
Standing on the corner 'round the bend by the dead end sign
Two full quarters saying don't come 'round here with your listening dime
I know there's better ways for me to get home
Lately I ain't been doing so good. I've been on my own
I'm a grown man, got no control
I got a dollar, I bet you I could turn it into five
I might take you out to dinner later on tonight
Every time I get on the road
There's always something there to push me down in the hole
Grown man, bless my soul
You know it's hard to explain
There's things a man's gotta learn to contain
Sweet now it just ain't the same
And your momma's only boy, your daddy's only shame
Standing on the corner 'round the bend by the dead end sign
Calling my baby saying take me back one more time
Oh, take me back
Take me back, babe

To his wife and family
After serving in the conflict overseas.
And the time that he served,
Had shattered all his nerves,
And left a little shrapnel in his knee.
But the morphine...
Dawes - "When My Time Comes" There were moments of dreams
I was offered to save.
I lived less like a workhorse,
more like a slave.
I thought that one quick moment
that was noble or brave
would be worth the most of my life.
So...
Hayes Carll - "Drunken Poet's Dream" I got a woman she's wild as Rome
She likes to lay naked and be gazed upon
She crosses a bridge and then sets it on fire
Lands like a bird on a telephone wire
Wine bottles scattered like last nights...
