Fletcher

(álbum: American Goldwing - 2011)

Oh, mama, I've been talking to those western stars
They give me comfort at night, right lying in the back of the car
An' I can see your face in the place that I go when I'm there
Me an' Jimmy an' the boys running dark up in the mountain air, yeah

Got a couple more runs till the sun's coming up in the east
Ol' Fletcher's in the car drinking whiskey from a jar through his teeth
Jimmy ain't back but his tracks lead up into the trees
I guess there ain't nothing for it but to drive on up and see what we see, yeah, uh huh

So don't you let ol' Fletcher take the wheel tonight
His heart's grown cold an' this old dirt road runs rough and ragged to a terrible height
So don't you let ol' Fletcher take the wheel tonight
There ain't much to live for, but there's this woman and she's got me feeling pretty alright
Loving, oh Lord, can make me change my ways, so won't you let me live another day
Guess I'd like to live another day

Ol' Fletcher's been drinking with a pistol and he's itching to play
Saying, "Man, I had this woman, she was living at the mouth of the bay
But she found me out and now she sees a man who wears a suit
I seen him walking his dog down by the company in brand new boots, yeah, uh huh"

So don't you let ol' Fletcher take the wheel tonight
His heart's grown cold an' this old dirt road runs rough and ragged to a terrible height
So don't you let ol' Fletcher take the wheel tonight
There ain't much to live for, but there's this woman and she's got me feeling pretty alright
Loving, oh Lord, can make me change my ways, so won't you let me live another day
I guess I'd like to live another day, yeah

Oh, mama, I've been talking to those western stars
They give me comfort at night, right lying in the back of the car
An' I can see your face in the place that I go when I'm there
Me an' Jimmy an' the boys running dark up in the mountain air, yeah
