"So sing me , sing me to sleep
And pour me another drink
Well I don't know what happened between bourbon and man
But I'll be at the gates with a glass in my hand
And tell old Saint Peter quite frankly I don't give a ****
I'm sure one day I'll pay for my sins"
Now he washed all the road dirt from his face and from his neck
And sat down at her table, and she picked up his check
And she took him home for reasons that she did not understand
While him, he had the answers, but he did not show his hand
'Cause him, he knew the taste of this wine very well
It all goes down so easily but the next day is hell
“Some high society lady asked if that’s my horse outside, I said no ma’am he’s between my legs and you’re too fat to ride”
Love me some HankJr
That hot old summer sun make you beg for your next breath
So you best be on the creek bank laid in the shade
Chewin on a hickory twig, pass that bottle, I'll have me a swig
I ain't got a lot, but I think I got it made, in the shade
I'm just laid up here in a country state of mind
Catchin these fish like they're goin out of style
Drinkin this homemade wine
Hey, if the sun don't come up tomorrow
People, I've had a good time
I'm just laid up here in a country state of mind
I bet the old man's in the kitchen
He's got my kind of music on his radio
Oh, drinkin his beer and dialin up the request line
Momma and old Aunt Joan
Probably in the dining room tryin to use the phone
Me, I'm thinkin about that girl and later tonight
Oh, yeah
,,,
You know, the red necks and the hippies
They are in their discos and honkytonks
Somewhere between raising hell and amazing grace
Lord, I know just how they feel
You gotta get out and kick up your heels
And ain't it great to be livin in the USA
"Couldn't roll me a seven
If you gave me loaded dice
I couldn't draw a hand
If I sat here all night
Scared money bad whiskey
There ain't no way to win
This ain't the first time
It's the way it's always been
You know the Lady's a lot like Reno
She ain't got a heart
And she don't care when your down
Just like the lights of a casino
She'll pull you in
And play with you awhile
But there ain't no way to win
I know, she's a lot like Reno
They're both out to break you
Take everything you got
When you finally win the hand
There ain't nothing in the pot
A gamble that I'm taking
But either one I choose
Lady or Reno either way I lose."
It was early last night, I went downtown
To a place called Johnny's Last Stand
Through the blues and the smoke, I saw her on the dance floor
She's with another man
The dead man's name was Louie Dupree
I pushed the little button on my knife
I walked up and I said, "Well hello boys and girls
Have you enjoyed your life?"
It's not a silly little moment
It's not the storm before the calm
This is the deep and dying breath of
This love that we've been working on
When she came to the hospital, there wasn't much left.
He was runnin' out of road. He was runnin' out of breath.
But he smiled, to see her cry.
And said, "I'll give you my Vincent.
To Ride."
" Oh I've been better, I've been worse a time or two. I got two bloodshot eyes, that's enough to see me through. Fair to a middling, Considering, Life's mostly Scars and souvenirs."

Good morning
Has it been a long night
Maybe been a long year, maybe been a hard life
Maybe you’re not alright
If you got a little red in your eyes
You’ve come to the right place
People like you, people like me
This is where we all find grace
Come on now
Bet you’ll wanna sing Hallelujah
Bet you’ll say an amen
Oh I can’t help but celebrate being born again
There’s somebody who loves you
Waiting at the door
Oh it’s home sweet home here
In the house of the Lord
