I really shoulda heard From him by now He promised he'd write When things settled down And send me money For a ticket when things got better
And mama I guess He's just workin' hard And you know how Those cowboys are But it's been three weeks And I ain't got a letter
I'm in love and he's in Dallas I'm as blue as a girl can be Is he down there thinkin' about my love Or driftin' away from me? And I'm in love and he's in Dallas And it's not the way it's s'pposed to be Can a promise reach from Texas All the way to Tennesee?
Well I'm in love and he's in Dallas I'm as blue as a girl can be Can a promise reach from Texas All the way to Tennesee?
Everybody Loves A Drinking Man Composer(s): Miller Anderson Performer(s): Savoy Brown
Well my daddy never drank no whiskey He never wet his liver with gin My momma said she loved nobody else But she really loved the drinking man
Respectable though my daddy was Until he heard of mama's sin He drank every drop of liquor in this place And we never saw my daddy again
Because everybody loves a drinking man Everybody loves a drinking man
Well my uncle was a real good talker He'd talk the beak off a myna bird Until someone dropped a glass of whiskey in his hand He never said another word
Because everybody loves a drinking man Everybody loves a drinking man
So understand that people will judge you On your good and not your words So if you're looking for a favor or two You may likely die of thirst
Because everybody loves a drinking man Everybody loves a drinking man Everybody loves a drinking man Everybody loves a drinking man

And everybody knows that the Plague is coming Everybody knows that it's moving fast Everybody knows that the naked man and woman Are just a shining artifact of the past Everybody knows the scene is dead But there's gonna be a meter on your bed That will disclose What everybody knows
And everybody knows that you're in trouble Everybody knows what you've been through From the bloody cross on top of Calvary To the beach of Malibu Everybody knows it's coming apart Take one last look at this Sacred Heart Before it blows And everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows That's how it goes Everybody knows
Oh everybody knows, everybody knows That's how it goes Everybody knows
