Lyrics:
tell by his cap
That he was in the war
But he don't get around like he did before
When he waved those troops
Onto a foreign shore and he lost his friends
I'm giving him the sack
And he can go right back where he came from
I could never make him happy
He'd be better off with you
I'm afraid I never
the teller by surprise
And, the word spread of Billy the kid
Well he never traveled heavy
Yes he always rode alone
And he soon put many older guns
How could he know this new dawn's light
Would change his life forever?
Set sail to sea but pulled off course
By the light of golden treasure
for you, baby
And I just can't stop
'Cause I never knew, I never knew
You could hold moonlight in your hands
'Til the night I held you
You are my
ever felt so right
And I'm so glad I took the time
That I had to take to make him mine
He can still do things to my heart
Just like he could right
straight-backed
Did you see him before?
Did he sign you his name?
Come with me, listenin' at his door
Hear himself so drunk calling home
Can't remember the code
You
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
Did you ever see
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
Did you ever see
Standing in the rain, with his head hung low
Couldn't get a ticket, it was a sold out show
Heard the roar of the crowd, he could picture the scene
prospered in his time
Well he may and he may decline
Did it matter, does it now?
Stephen would answer if he only knew how
Wishing well with a golden bell
with each other
Like white on rice, he was kinda like a brother
We had a lotta fun when we were kids
We always overlooked the dumb things he did
But
play the game, but he knew that day would never by the same.
[Chorus]
There walks a man, he could've had a home, fine baby children, a woman of his
with each other
Like white on rice, he was kinda like a brother
We had a lotta fun when we were kids
We always overlooked the dumb things he did
But
would take me walkin'
Through the backyard we'd go walkin'
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows, to my surprise
The only one who could ever reach
so
He could see no wrong, no, no, no
He spent his last dime on the woman because he loved her
And you know, girls
You can take love and kindness
He gave me the eye
But I just passed him by
I treated him unkind
But he didn't seem to mind
I told him be on his way
But not a word did he say
riding through the woods and took her by the hand"
The boss he lay back flat on his bed
He cursed the heat and he clutched his head
He pondered the future
an animal with long funny ears
Kicks up at anything he hears
His back is brawny but his brain is weak
He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak
And by
and the wild Montana skies
His mother died that summer and he never learned to cry
He never knew his father and he never did ask why
And he never knew
he's got to live
But then he comes uptown
Where he can hold his head up high
Uptown he knows that I am standing by
And when I take his hand
of make believe where we two could play
But how the time hurries by summers go winters fly
Toys on the shelf he can reach by himself
Time hurries on youth
Got the news this morning
It would be a tough day
Some are so much larger than life
Can't believe they could pass away
When it comes to country
listen and I'll tell you what this fella did to me
I walked to my house like a good girl should
He followed me to my house like I knew he would
Discuss these can he could he would he did he by the cathedrals Lyrics with the community:
