Now the music is playing
In the whiskey saloon
It comes through my window
Like a favorite tune
I can walk down the stairway
I can walk down the street
And lay down my money
But it's not what I need

There's smoke down by the river
Hear the cannon and the drum
I've got one thing to ask you honey
Can you run?

You know I hate to ask so late
But the moment's finally come
And there won't be time to change your mind

Drinkin dark whiskey, tellin' white lies
one leads to another on a Saturday night
don't you cross your heart unless you hope to die
drinkin dark whiskey, tellin' white lies

the first drop burns but the second one goes down smooth
and then that ol' black label gets ahold of you
it'll loosen your tongue but it don't ever tell the truth

Been up and down this lonesome highway
coast to coast and back again
I just had to do things my way
had to go against the wind

Cause I’ve been dreaming of the girl I left behind
Lord she had the truest heart I’ve ever known
and I’ve been looking for a world I’ll never find

Won't you bury me beneath the tree
where my family lies where my family lies
let the fog lay low on the mountain high
hear the willow cry hear the willow cry

Ain't no redemption for the thing that I have done
the devil owns you once the bullet 's left the gun
all I can think of with this rope around my neck

Those midnight tears find me in the darkness
they make a moanful sound
no one sees and no one hears
my midnight tears fallin' down

My friends wonder how I am doing
they look for the proof in my eyes
but they’ll never know how my heart is breakin'

I'm a cool 3 lbs of cold blue steel
I shoot even deader than the way I feel
made to fit right in your hand
why i'll never understand

I coulda been a hammer or a railroad spike
I coulda been a train rollin through the night
but they gave my voice such a terrible sound

I'm an old man now, I can't do nothing
Young folks don't pay me no mind
But in my day I sure was something
Before I felt the heavy hand of time

I'm an old man now, I'm bound for glory
Time to lay these burdens down
Had enough of this old world of worry
