Tim O'brien - Melancholy Moon (Not) lyrics

Whistles don't get lonesome, I guess no one told Hank You never know that might have been the reason why he drank What was Willie smokin' when he wrote “Hello Walls' Where'd Bob find that cowtown? Did it really have big balls? There's no regular combination on that Wabash Cannonball And I've never known a telephone to ring right off the wall Patsy didn't fall to pieces on a midnight walk alone And “T' don't stand for Texas since Rose left San Antone Chorus Highways don't get lonesome, you're not my sunshine Memories don't linger in the hallways of my mind I don't believe that Porter ever saw that “Rubber Room' And I've neer seen a melancholy moon Elvis hated hound dogs, so is it false or true No one ever really saw him wearin' blue suede shoes Was anybody watchin' when Johnny walked the line And I wonder if it really was the last thing on his mind If you're minin' coal you'll need more tonnage than sixteen I can't recall a time when I've been faded as my jeans You'd have to be a fossil to have a heart of stone And after “Six Days On The Road', his baby wasn't home Chorus “Blue Moon Of Kentucky' is more like yellow And I've never seen a melancholy moon
