The Flying Burrito Brothers ...
Well, I pulled out of Pittsburgh
rolling down the Eastern seaboard
I got my diesel wound up and she's
a-running like never before
Well, there's a speed zone ahead on the right and
I don't see a cop in sight
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home
tonight
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight
Yes, I know she's the life of the
party
And without her things here must die
Oh, but don't be fooled by her
laughter
She has her sad times she knows how to cry
She drinks and she talks just a little too loud
And with her bright gown she hangs around with any old crowd
Yes, I know I'm to blame and I feel so ashamed
That I made her the image of me
I met her in a little country
town
She was simple and old fashioned in some ways
But she loved me 'til I
dragged her down
Then she just gave up and drifted away
She drinks and she talks just a little too loud
And with her bright gown she hangs around with any old crowd
Yes, I know I'm to blame and I feel so ashamed
That I made her the image of meYes, I know I'm to blame and I feel so ashamed
That I made her the image of me
Four days of rain and I'm feeling
O.K.
Sun's back again it's a beautiful day
Oil in the water has clouded my
eye
Sun in the window's got me feeling just fine
Well, I'm feeling good Lord, I knew I would whatever I do
Well, I feel so high and I don't know why but that's alright too
Well, I'm walking around in a good old town thinking of you, Lord
And I hope you think of me too, oh
A breeze in my face and the blue
sky is clear
A beautiful morning Lord, I wish you were here
Taking it easy
I'm taking it slow
Enjoying the sunshine enjoying the show
Well, I'm feeling good Lord, I knew I would whatever I do
Well, I feel so high and I don't know why but that's alright too
Well, I'm walking around in a good old town thinking of you, Lord
And I hope you think of me too Oh, oh
Yes, and I'm feeling good Lord, I knew I would whatever I do
Well, I feel so high and I don't know why but that's alright too
'cause I'm walking around in a good old town thinking of you, Lord
And I hope you think of me too
A letter came today from the draft
board
With trembling hands I read the questionnaire
It asked me lots of
things about my mama and papa
Now that ain't what I call exactly
fair
So I'm headin' for the nearest foreign border
Vancouver may be just my kind of town
'cause they don't need the kind of law and order
That tends to keep a good man underground
A sad old soldier once told me a
story
About a battlefield that he was on
He said a man should never fight
for glory
He must know what is right and what is wrong
So I'm headin' for the nearest foreign border
Vancouver may be just my kind of town
'cause they don't need the kind of law and order
That tends to keep a good man underground All right
Well, I don't know how much I owe
my uncle
But I suspect it's more than I can pay
He's asking me to sign a
three year contract
I guess I'll catch the first bus out today
So I'm headin' for the nearest foreign border
Vancouver may be just my kind of town
'cause they don't need the kind of law and order
That tends to keep a good man underground
That tends to keep a good man underground

The warden led the prisoner down
the hallway to his doom
I got up to say goodbye like all the rest
And I
heard him ask the warden as they led him from the room
Let my guitar playin'
friend do my request
Won't you sing me back home with a song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
And take me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die
Oh, I remember Sunday evening when
a choir from off the street
Came in to sing a few old gospel songs
And I
heard the preacher tell them there's a song I used to know
Won't you sing it
once before we move along?
Won't you sing me back home with a song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die
Won't you sing me back home before I die
I already know I have to leave
you
They've already told me the day
I already know when I have to
go
But I don't want to walk away
And I already know it won't be
easy
I already know it will be hard, so hard
I can already see, oh how
it's gonna be
I walk away but I won't take my heart
Oh yes and time passes slowly when there's nothing to do
But when you're in a hurry it creeps right up on you
And when you're all alone the days are endless it seems
But when you're with somebody now they slip by like a dreamBut they're gone like a dream
Yes, they fly like a dream
In minutes it seems
And I already know I won't forget
you
I already know it won't be long, you'll be alone
I can already see
you'll soon be back with me
While I won't rest until I bring you
home
You'll never be alone
White line fever
A sickness born down deep within my soul
White line fever
The years keep flying by like the high line poles
The wrinkles in my
forehead
Show the miles I've put behind me
They continue to remind me how
fast I'm growing old
Guess I'll die with this feeling in my soul
I wonder just what makes a man
keep pushing on
Why must I keep on singing this old highway song
I've been
from coast to coast one hundred times or more
I haven't seen one place where
I ain't been before
White line fever
A sickness born down deep within my soul
White line fever
The years keep flying by like the high line poles
The wrinkles in my
forehead
Show the miles I've put behind me
They continue to remind me how
fast I'm growing old
Guess I'll die with this feeling in my soul
Why are you crying and what can I do
Well, it's not so easy just watching you cry alone
And can you tell me what's wrong
And if you think it might help I can bring my guitar and sing you a song
I know life has made a fool of
others and I guess love has made a fool of me
Try and answer questions that
you never even ask of me
I know you've been left in doubt by the things that
you're not sure about
Well, I can say I've been there too and maybe we can
both find out if you
Will tell me why you are crying and what I can do
It's not so easy just a-watching you cry alone
Can you tell me what's wrong
And if you think it might help I can bring my guitar and sing you a song
Now, you say there's no way I can
help and in the end that might be true
But you never know until you try
that's all that I've asked of you, now
And I can see you have your secrets
and that's all right I have mine too
But you should always share your
troubles makes it that much easier for you
So tell me why you are crying and what I can do
Well it's not so easy just a-watching you cry alone
Can you tell me what's wrong
And if you think it might help I can bring my guitar and sing you a song Sing a song now
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around the shack 'til the mail train comes back
And roll in my sweet baby's arms
I ain't gonna work on the
railroad
I ain't gonna work on the farm
Lay around the shack 'til the mail
train comes back
And roll in my sweet baby's arms
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around the shack 'til the mail train comes back
And roll in my sweet baby's arms
I know your parents don't like
me
They run me away from your door
If I had my life to live over
I
wouldn't go 'round there no more
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around the shack 'til the mail train comes back
And roll in my sweet baby's arms
Now where were you last Friday
night
While I was lyin' in jail
Walking the streets with another
man
Wouldn't even go my bail
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around the shack 'til the mail train comes back
And roll in my sweet baby's arms
Roll ... one, two ...
Roll in my sweet baby's arms ah, ah, ah!
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around the shack 'til the mail train comes back
And roll in my sweet baby's arms
I'm standing on the corner with
the lowdown blues
A great big hole in the bottom of my shoes
Honey let me
be your salty dog
And let me be your salty dog
Or I won't be your man at all
Honey let me be your salty dog
Well, look here Sal I know
you
A rundown slipper and a tore up shoe
Honey let me be your salty
dog
And let me be your salty dog
Or I won't be your man at all
Honey let me be your salty dog
I'm down in the wildwood sitting
on a log
My finger on the trigger, eye on a hog
Honey let me be your salty
dog
And let me be your salty dog
Or I won't be your man at all
Honey let me be your salty dog
I pulled the trigger and the gun
said go
Shot fell over in Mexico
Honey let me be your salty dog
And let me be your salty dog
Or I won't be your man at all
Honey let me be your salty dog
Well, Lord made a woman and He
made her mighty funny
Made her lips around her mouth taste just like the
honey
Honey let me be your salty dog
And let me be your salty dog
Or I won't be your man at all
Honey let me be your salty dog
Childhood living
Is easy to
do
The things you wanted
I bought them for you
Graceless lady
You know who I
am
You know I can't let you
Slip thru my hands
Wild horses
Couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses
Couldn't drag me away
And I watched you suffer
A dull
and aching pain
Now you've decided
You're gonna show me the
same
But no sweeping exits
Or off
stage lights
Could make me feel bitter
Or treat you unkind
Wild horses
Couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses
We'll ride them someday
And I know I dreamed you
A sin
and a lie
But I had my freedom
But I don't have much time
Faith has been broken
Tears
must be cried
Let's do some living
After we die
Wild horses
Couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses
We'll ride them someday
Just because I asked a friend
about her
And just because I spoke her name somewhere
Just because I rang
her number by mistake today
She thinks I still care
And just because I haunt the same
old places
Where the memory of her lingers everywhere
Just because I'm not
the happy guy I used to be
She thinks I still care
If she's happy thinkin' I still need her
Then let that silly notion bring her cheer
Oh, how could she ever be so foolish
Tell me where would she get such an idea?
If she's happy thinkin' I still need her
Then let that silly notion bring her cheer
Oh, how could she ever be so foolish
Tell me where would she get such an idea, yeah?
Just because I haunt the same old
places
Where the memory of her lingers everywhere
Just because I'm not the
happy guy I used to be
She thinks I still care
She thinks I still
care
I didn't know God made Honky-tonk Angels
I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to the wild side of life
You wouldn't read my letter if I
wrote you
You asked me not to call you on the phone
But there's something
I'm wanting to tell you
So I wrote it in the words of this song
I didn't know God made Honky-tonk Angels
I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to the wild side of life
The glamour of the gay night life
has lured you
To the places where the wine and liquor flow
Where you wait
to be anybody's baby
And forget the truest love you'll ever know
I didn't know God made Honky-tonk Angels
I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to your wild side of lifeI didn't know God made Honky-tonk Angels
I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to your wild side of life
And went back to your wild side of life

Hey, Colorado
It was not so
long ago
I left your mountains
To try life on the road
Now I'm finished with that race
It was much too fast a pace
And I, I think I know my place
Colorado I wanna come home
There was a woman
But I left
her far behind
I could have loved her
If I'd only had the time
Oh, but I stopped along my way
Just long enough to say
Lord I'd really, really like to stay
Oh, but my lady you know I've got to go
I was too young
To know what, what I have done
I made my plans
But I was wrong yes, I was wrong
Hey, Colorado
Is it too late to
change my mind
I've done some thinking
And I'm trying hard to
find
Oh, the way to come back home
Lord, I've been so very long alone
Won't you take care of your own
Colorado I think I'm coming home
I wanna come home
Won't you let me come home
Well, I met her at the dance I
thought I'd take a chance
So I held her tight when I heard those records
playin'
And now I tell to you she made me lose my blues
I just wanted a
kiss and I threw them all away
I got a love so strong nothing can go thru my chain mail
Gonna let it shine just like a blindin' light
Oh, but I'll be back for more I'll be a-tappin' at her door
And we'll climb the hill and the whippoorwill will sing tonight
Oh, never know who you'll love I
thought of my turtle dove
Oh, come a little closer and drink my cherry
wine
And if you whisper in my ear the words I long to hear
Well, I'll be
your daddy until the very end of time
And at the break of dawn we'll both be gone, my baby
You know we'll get lost far across the sea
You can run into the sun and I'll be all mighty and glum
Get a line to your mother that you've gone away with meYou know my girl she's so fine oh, she's a friend of mine
And when you see us coming you'd better put up a little brass band(Yodels)
This old town's filled with sin
it'll swallow you in
If you've got some money to burn
Take it home right
away you've got three years to pay
But Satan is waiting his turn
This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poor house
It seems like this whole town's insane
On the thirty-first floor a gold plated door
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain
A friend came around tried to
clean up this town
His ideas made some people mad
But he trusted his crowd
so he spoke right out loud
And they lost the best friend they had
This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poor house
It seems like this whole town's insane
On the thirty-first floor a gold plated door
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rainOn the thirty-first floor a gold plated door
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain
She's a devil in disguise
You can see it in her eyes
She's telling dirty lies
She's a devil in disguise, in disguise
Now a woman like that all she does
is hate you
She doesn't know what makes a man a man
She'll talk about the
time that she's been with you
And she'll speak your name to everyone she
can
She's a devil in disguise
You can see it in her eyes
She's telling dirty lies
She's a devil in disguise, in disguise
Unhappiness has been her close
companion
Her world is full of jealousy and doubt
Well, it gets her off to
see a person cryin'
And she's just the kind that you can't live
without
She's a devil in disguise
You can see it in her eyes
She's telling dirty lies
She's a devil in disguise, in disguise
Her number always turns up in your
pocket
Whenever you are looking for a dime
It's all right to call her but
I bet you
The moon is full and your just a-wasting time
She's a devil in disguise
You can see it in her eyes
She's telling dirty lies
She's a devil in disguise, in disguiseIn disguise, in disguise, in disguise, in disguise, in disguise
I'm gonna write a little
letter
Gonna mail it to my local DJ
About a rockin' little record
I
want my jockey to play
Roll over Beethoven
Gotta hear it again today
You know, my temperature's

My jukebox is blowin' a fuse
And my heart's beatin' rhythm
And
my soul keeps a singin' the blues
Roll over Beethoven
Tell Tschaikowsky the news
Well, if you feel it like it go

And reel and rock it and roll it over

trifle further

Well, it's early in the mornin'

Ain't got nothin' to

Roll over Beethoven
Tell Tschaikowsky the news
You know she dance like a glow

And long as she got a dime
The music won't ever stopRoll over Beethoven Oooh
Roll over Beethoven Oooh
Roll over Beethoven Oooh

Well, I pulled out of Pittsburgh
rolling down the Eastern seaboard
I got my diesel wound up and she's
a-running like never before
Well, there's a speed zone ahead on the right and
I don't see a cop in sight
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home
tonight
I got ten forward gears and a
Georgia Overdrive
I'm takin' little white pills and my eyes are open
wide
And I just passed a Jimmy and White I been a-passing everything in
sight
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight
Well, the ICC is checkin' on down
the line
I'm a little overweight and my log books way behind
Yeah, but
nothing bothers me tonight I'm gonna dodge all the scales all right
Six days
on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight
And it's been six weeks since I
kissed my baby goodbye
And I could have a lotta women but I'm not like some
other guys
I could find one to hold me tight but I could never make believe
it's all right
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home
tonight
Yes my rigs a little old but that
don't mean she's slow
There's a good flame blowing from her smoke stack black
as coal
My home town's coming in sight if you think I'm happy you're
right
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight
Six days on
the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight
