Wish I was down on some blue bayou
With a bamboo cane stuck in the sand
But the road I'm on, don't seem to go there
So I just dream, keep on being the way I am

"Oh the night came undone like a party dress
And fell at her feet in a beautiful mess
The smoke and the whiskey came home in her curls
And they crept through the dreams of the barroom girls"

Townes was the best!



He really was, there are so many.


Oh Loretta she's a barroom girl
Wears them sevens on her sleeve
Dances like a diamond shines
Tell me lies I love to believe
Her age is always 22
Her laughing eyes a hazel hue
Spends my money like water falls
Loves me like I want her to


Ride the blue wind high and free
She'll lead you down through misery
Leave you low, come time to go
Alone and low as low can be


Well, the clouds didn't look like cotton
They didn't even look like clouds
I was underneath the weather
My friends looked a crowd
The swimmin' hole was full of rum
I tried to find out why
All I learned was this my friend
You got to swim before you fly


etc.

‘Lorrie lit a cigarette and smiled and waved the smoke out of her face’

- Good Lord Lorrie, Turnpike

‘Throw that bottle of whiskey under the seat
Light a cigarette so he don't smell the weed
If he asks me to blow I'mma tell his punk arse to take me to jail’

- February 28, Koe Wetzel

I kissed you cause I’ve never been an angel
I learned to say Hosannas on my knees
But they threw me out of sunday school when I was nine
And the sisters said I did just as I pleased

“Pure love, baby it's pure love
Milk and honey and Captain Krunch and you in the morning
Pure love baby it's pure love
Ninety-nine and forty-four one hundreds percent pure love”

"Every mornin' at the mine you could see him arrive
He stood six-foot-six and weighed two-forty-five
Kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip
And everybody knew ya didn't give no lip to big John"

An old cowboy went riding out one dark and windy day
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw
A-plowing through the ragged sky and up the cloudy draw

I really do appreciate the fact that you’re sitting here
your voice sounds so wonderful but your face don’t look too clear....

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly
That means he's lost the will to live
I'm so lonesome I could cry

A few from Vern....

You ran cryin’ to the bedroom
i ran off to the bar
Another piece of heaven gone to hell


Well, your office called to say you wouldn’t be long
When did your boss get a jukebox of his own?


You say you’re mama called and you must go
She’s down in the bed and needs you so
And you don’t know if you’ll be coming home tonight or not
But, honey ain’t you’re mama sick a lot?


They’ve got a vintage Victrola 1951
Full of my favorite records that I grew up on.

"Last night while I was a-ridin'
the graveyard shift, midnight till dawn...
the moon was as bright
as a reading light
for a letter from an old friend back home."

“He said ‘I’ll love you, til I die’”



“Step right up, come on in, if you’d like to take the grand tour”


“I went to work for her that summer, teenage kid so far from home”

“He said, "The storm is gettin' stronger, "
As he climbed inside my truck.
"I'm headed back to Carolina,
"God's willin' an' he learned."
An' he told me how he'd left his family,
So many years ago.
An' he'd seen the whole world on the shoulders,
But now it's time to go back home.”
Jamey Johnson

I know it’s more than a first line, but a dang good song!

It was all, I could do, to keep from crying.

Sometimes, it seems useless to remain...
