Jerry Lee Lewis - Killer Country (2003) by Jerry Lee Lewis (보컬) on maniadb.com

One by one they're turning out the lights
I've been feedin' that ol' jukebox just to hold you tight
I guess its for the best I just put in my last dime
I heard you whisper "We'll meet again, another place, another time"
Chairs are stacked all over tables its closing time they say
I could wait right here forever if they'd only let me stay
Anywhere would be much better than lonley room of mine
Throug a lonely night a waitin' for
Another place, Another time

Won't that room of mine be a lonely place to be
I've been so used to holding you close to me
Won't that old stairway be hard to climb
To a lonley room waiting for another place, another time
Won't that old stairway be hard to climb
To a lonely room to wait for
Another Place, Another Time

You left me and you went away
You said that you'd be back in just a day
Oh yeah, you've broken your promise
And you left me here alone
I don't know why you did dear
But I do know that you're gone

And I'm walkin' the floor over you
(I'm walkin' yes I'm walkin')
I can't sleep a wink that is true
(I'm walkin' yes I'm walkin')
I'm hopin' and I'm prayin'
As my heart breaks right in two
(I'm walkin' yes I'm walkin')
Walkin' the floor over you

Yeah, someday you may be lonesome too
Walkin' that floor is good for you, oh yeah
Just keep right on walkin'
And it won't hurt you to cry
Remember that I love you, baby
And I will till the day I die

I'm walkin' the floor over you
(I'm walkin' yes I'm walkin')
Can't sleep a wink that is true
(I'm walkin' yes I'm walkin')
Hopin' and I'm prayin'
As my heart breaks right in two
(I'm walkin' yes I'm walkin')
Walkin' the floor over you

One more time now

I'm walkin' the floor over you
Can't sleep a wink that is true, oh yeah
Hopin' and I'm prayin', Lord
As my heart breaks right in two
Walkin' the floor over you, yeah

I know I'm not a perfect husband although I'd like to be
But payday nights and those painted women they do strange things to me
But then when the party's over and the good is all she sees
Though I let her down she still comes around just to love what's left of me

Six days out of seven I work hard at doing right
But believe me you could set your watch on any Friday night
But then I'm lucky she understands and the fool that lives in me
Though I let her down she still comes around to love what's left of me

The way I'm living it's a wonder she can take it
But that woman she's got a heart of gold it's justing me to break it
I know I don't deserve her but I'm thankful as can be
And though I let her down she still comes around just to love what's left of me
And though I let her down she still comes around just to love what's left of me

I wake up in the morning I'm still crying, yes I am
And on my lips I can taste your goodnight kiss
In my room the fragrance of your perfume lingers
And I know there must be more to love than this
I look across my lonely room and see your picture
Your loving smiling face I know I miss, yes I would darlin'
And I remebered to another you're still married
And I know there must be more to love than this

The ringing phone sounds like the doorbell to heaven, oh Lord
Your voice sounds like an angel full of bliss
But I'll go through hell tonight if I don't see you
And I know there must be more to love than this
There must be more to love than stolen moments
This love it should have brought me happiness
Ever since we started lovin' I've been hurtin' hurtin' hurtin'
And I know there must be more to love than this
Yes I know there must be more to love than this

(One two one two three four)
Well busted flat in Baton Rouge a headin' for the trains
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
Ol' Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
Lord took us all the way to New Orleans
Pulled my ol' har'poon out of my dirty red bandana
Blowed it low while Bobby sang the blues
With them windshield whipers slappin' time
And Bobby clappin' hands with mine
We finally sang up ever song that driver knew
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
And nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
Lord that was good enough for me yeah good enough for me and Bobby McGee

From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
She was standin' right beside me Lord through everything I done
And every night she kept me from the cold
Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let her slip away
Looking for the home I hope she'll find
And I'd trade all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday
Holding her body close to mine

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
And nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
Lord that was good enough for me yeah good enough for me and Bobby McGee

Yeah (la la la la...)

(Today I can feel it touching home)
Today pain became a real life's hurtin' thing
And the choir of loneliness sang me a song
Now I know just what it means to lose a lifetime dream
Cause today I can feel it touching home
No longer do I wonder why men have lost their minds
Or wind up in a jungle of flashing neon signs
Now I know just how long a man can last when love is gone
Cause today I can feel it touching home

No longer do I wonder why men have lost their minds
Or wind up in a jungle of flashing neon signs
Now I know just how long a man can last when love is gone
Cause today I can feel it touching home
Cause today I can feel it touching home

Today he traded his big 98 Oldsmobile
He got a heck of a deal
On a new Porsche car
He ain't wearing his usual grey business suit
He's got jeans and high boots
With an embroidered star
An today he's forty years old going on twenty
Don't look for the grey in his hair
'Cause he ain't got any
He's got a young thing beside him
That just melts in his hand
He's middle aged crazy
Trying to prove he still can
He's gotta a woman he's loved for a long long time at home

Ah but the thrill is all gone
When they cut down the lights
They've got a business that they spent a while comming by
Been a long uphill climb
But now the profits are high
But today he's forty years old going on twenty
And he hears of sordid affairs and he aint had any
And the young thing beside him
You know she understands
That he's middle aged crazy
Trying to prove he still can

Well I've took enough pills for big Memphis town
Ol' Jerry Lee's dranked enough whiskey to lift any ship off the ground
I'll be the first to admit
Sure do wish these people would quit it
You know its tough enough
To straightin' up when these idiots won't leave you alone.
Jerry Lee Lewis's life would make a damn good country song
I've always done my best
I've tried to walk tall
Walk on Killer
But when the evening was over I was drunk stumbling into walls
Well I know I've earned my reputation
Can't they see I've found my salvation?

I guess they'd rather prove me wrong
My life would make a damn good country song
Lets get it now!
I've had my share of women
But they always seem to leave
Gonna put me another quarter
In the ol' pinball machine
Well I know the ol' Killers been wrong
That ol' change came over me took too long
My life would make a damn good country song
Jerry Lee Lewis's life would make a damn good country song!
