The Felice Brothers - Walk a While lyrics

My liquor's in the car, the girls are at the bar But I'm lonesome as I've ever been I could sing a song but no one would sing along Not even the birdies would sing I recieve no letters here Though it's been so many years I must confess, I'm a lonely mess Dolly, dear Forever I have roamed under Heaven's door I've learned every song to sing With a hammer I have perched and shingled every church My arms can no longer swing You can choose the road you're on And keep from doing wrong But all the things tomorrow brings Have come and gone I walk down to the bridge where the brick man used to live And I watch the gathering skies I found a pal of mine I lost on down the line I hardly did recognise Where've you been says he You must remember me You've been gone for too damned long Walk a while with me
