David And Me

(album: Jerry Jeff Walker - 1972)

It's a one, two, it's a one, two, three, yea

Hey, come on in, sit down my friend
Sure good to see you again
Put your feet up, there's wine in a cup
And there's no fences to mend
Haven't seen your smile for quite a while
So just unwind, relax your mind
Let the time go by

Say, how is your lady
She still just as crazy?
What the hell was her name?
Oh, Trudy, yea
Remember the night we both got so tight
We never did catch a plane?
We sat and played guitar in that terminal
We sure had a ball, must have played them all
It made the time go by

You still live upstairs?
Your cats are all there
And your dozen guitars?
They say we all changed
But I feel the same and I know that you are
They always said we played 'em much too long
But tell me, what's a song
Don't it carry on and make the time go by?

I live in the west, Texas, I guess
Old Austin's the best
I'm building a house
Ten miles to the south
The old bird's gonna nest
The radio gonna play our songs sometimes
And make me smile, erase some miles
And make the time go by

Time as we know it

Yes, it's a long old road that we ride down my friends
Yes, it's a long old road that we ride
But I know we'll make it through
We'll make it to the end
Yes, friends, we'll make it, you and I

Hey, come on in, sit down my friend
Sure good to see you again
Put your feet up, there's wine in a cup
And there's no fences to mend
