The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
I was black dog driving when I reached for the state line Chased it back to Joplin before I called it a night Then it finally hit me I'd been rough on my conscience I switched on my cell phone and rubbed at my eyes It was a brand new morning except my clothes and my coffee Watched an old Le Sabre pulling up from my right My cousin's guy from Blocker's got an in with the DA Bet we'll buy his house before we see any time I know it ain't nothing like your old daddy's way of living Soon enough the world might make you realize Sometimes it's only worth what you can see on the surface Don't give an inch and you can keep your mile Nothing doing mostly til a week ago Sunday Knocked over 7 acres by the cover of night Seems we let our sentry have his way with the whiskey McCurtain county boy you've got to watch with both eyes Well I hate to see it happen so I slipped him a warning Got to have enough sense to keep his head from the fire I'm afraid the boy they're sending understood the instruction He's slow in the shadow but he's swift in the light
