Kathy Mattea - Quarter Moon lyrics

When everything you own Will fit in a paper sack And no one notice you leavin' Nobody ask you when you comin' back You live in a rented room Your money run out too soon You've pawned all your hopes Bummed all your smokes And you leave by the quarter moon Quarter moon better than none When you travel the night road Quarter moon better than none When you carry a light load And every Bowery bum You know was somebody's mother's son And he never mean to hurt nobody Just a-drink' to have his fun Drinkin' away the good times Drinkin' away the bad And nobody know where the poor man go When he lose everything that he had Quarter moon better than none When you travel the night road Quarter moon better than none When you carry a light load And every man in the mission tonight Is dreamin' whiskey shadows Where heaven is lined with bottles of wine And deep sparklin' meadows When everything you own Will fit in a paper sack And no one noticed your leavin' Nobody asked you when you comin' back babe You live in a rented room Your money run out too soon You've pawned all your hopes Bummed all your smokes And you leave by the quarter moon Quarter moon better than none When you travel the night road Quarter moon better than none When you carry a light load Quarter moon better than none Quarter moon better than none Quarter moon better than none When you travel the night road
