faulkner street
Singer:hayes carll
the record player's scratchin' out an old and dusty tune
we were lyin' 'round like gypsies
thinkin' 'bout goin' to town
and jimmy's drinkin' whiskey straight and lyin' in the shade
jamie's dancin' round the kitchen with a glass of lemonade
lookin' like an angel who's never gonna touch the ground
how'd we ever lose that time?
leavin' all the rest behind
now them boys from morgan county
there a comin' out tonight
with country on the radio and trouble in there eyes
they come walkin' up the driveway
singin' 'bout the night before
and we'll head up to the mountain
pick-up trucks and old guitars
we'll all smoke marijuana as we look up at the stars
until we can't take any more
how'd we ever lose that time?
leavin' all the rest behind
now there's a picture on the mantle top
there are times i can't remember and things i won't forget
i'd call you up and tell you
that porch is just a memory and the record player's broke
the hills have gone to houses and jimmy's gone to smoke
but i'd do the whole thing over
darlin' just to hear that song
