Fletcher

Lyrics

Oh, mama, I've been talkin' to those western stars They give me comfort at night, right lyin' 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 runnin' dark up in the mountain air, yeah Got a couple more runs till the sun's comin' up in the east Ol' Fletcher's in the car drinkin' 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 feelin' pretty alright Lovin', 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 drinkin' with a pistol and he's itchin' to play Sayin', "Man, I had this woman, she was livin' at the mouth of the bay But she found me out and now she sees a man who wears a suit I seen him walkin' 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 feelin' pretty alright Lovin', 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 talkin' to those western stars They give me comfort at night, right lyin' 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 runnin' dark up in the mountain air, yeah
