Just a smile Just a glance The Prince of Darkness he just walked past
There's been a lot of people they've had a lot to say But this time I'm gonna tell it my way...
There was a town It was a strange little town they called the world It was a lonely,lonely little town
Till one day a stranger appeared Their hearts rejoicied and this sad little town was happy again
But there were some that doubted They disbelieved,so they mocked Him And the stranged He went away and the said little town that was sad yesterday It's a lot sadder today
I walked in a lot of places I never should have been But I know that the Messish, He will come again
You know you get the strangest feelin' Yea, when a guitar plays the blues You know you get the strangest little feelin' Yea, when a guitar plays the blues
You know your body gets a message Yea, your soul has got to groove
You know you might even batch your eye Yea, you might even snatch a cry Yea the feelin' you're feelin' within ya, Well you know you just can't hide You got to bend it like that [guitar bend] You kinda' squeeze it like this [guitar squeeze]
And it reaches down inside you Yea, your soul, it just can't resist 'Cause you get the strangest kinda' feelin' Yea, when a guitar plays the blues You know your body gets a message Yea, your soul, your soul, your soul has got to move
[guitar solo]
And when the music's over Mmm, it's time to turn out the lights You know the blues goes home with you Yea, that sooths you through the night
You get the strangest kinda' feelin' Yea, when a guitar plays the blues You know your body gets a message And your soul, your soul, your soul has got to move
I once had love and plenty of money Yes I did. Someway, somehow I know I failed Yes I did
Now all, all I have in my pocket, All I can give account of Is a nickel and a nail All, all I have is a nickel and a nail
My friends, oh no-no-no They just don't know. The feel, deep down in their hearts They think I'm doing swell But they don't know
'Cause Every now and then I smile And I jingle Yes I do All you hear me jingeling Is a nickel and a nail
A nickel and a nail, My chain, my price to see But I still, Feel the need to be loved, baby Hammering inside of me
A nickel and a nail, My chain, my price to see But I still, Feel the need to be loved, baby Hammering inside of me
You said a long time ago, You said the dream was gonna be believed You said "you'll see" I think you better get that on, On some lonesome, lonesome trail. You gotta leave here.
Oh baby I'm wondering How d'you expect for me to make it, I don't believe I will. Oh baby I can't make it, On a nickel and a nail
If I get sleepy All I've got baby Is a nickel and a nail
If I get lonely I can bend the nickel The nail won't spin.
If I get in trouble If I get in jail I would have enough money To pay my bail
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby They gone too far. Said "they gone too far". Can't do it. They gone too far.
First you want it slow Then you want it fast You know that I gave you Whatever you asked.
[chorus:] Now baby you've got me Whenever you want me So why don't you want me?
You begged me to stay When I tried to go You told me you loved me And you'd need me so.
And that's how you got me Just where you want me Told me "why don't you want me?" "I just wanna know."
I worked just like a doggone mule Just to buy you pretty things And my friends think I'm a real real real big fool They think you've got me hanging like a puppet On your string
I may be your fool I may be a clown I know, I know you want me Yes I do Whenever I'm not around.
[chorus]
[solo]
I worked just like a doggone mule Just to buy you pretty things My friends and my family, They tell me that I'm a fool They think I'm like a puppet Dangling on your string
I may be your fool I may be a clown I know,I know, I know you want me Yes you do And you need me when I'm not around
Now honey you've got me Whenever you want me So why don't you want me?
I know you've got me Yes you have, I know you've got me Tell me: Why don't you want me?
Well I'm a little country boy, I'm running wild in this big old town I'm a little country boy, I'm running wild in this big old town When I'm making love with my baby You know I don't want a soul around.
Yeah, they call me country, I'm from a country town The girls are crazy 'bout me 'n' love what I'm puttin' down
I'm a little country boy I'm running wild in this big old town When I'm making love to my baby You know I don't want a soul around.
Yeah I'm country!
I woke up this morning, Ooh, my head was bad; I just can't tell you about That good time I've had. This little country boy I'm running wild in this big old town When I'm making love to my baby You know I don't want a soul around.
