There's a girl who like to hear him sing a love song… like he used to do When she could feel those green eyes turning, to her table - surely learnin' that the lines were true And he'd stand right up and sing it, like he meant it 'cause he always did And how she loved to hear them ask him for just one more for the lonely read ahead And there was one about some crazy things They tried in New Orleans And for a time they lived outside the law And the song about the stranger Kept the feelings in her jeans And how she's like to feel it like before But he ain't makin' music anymore And there's a hot band down the corner in from Houston… picking country blues And she'll drag him down to see them, play his song that they recorded 'cause they asked her to And he'll close his eyes and listen, halfway sleepin' and he makes her cry For she remembers how them bright light and his lonesome song could keep her soul alive And there was one about some crazy things They tried in New Orleans And for a time they lived outside the law And the song about the stranger Kept the feelings in her jeans And how she's like to feel it like before But he ain't makin' music anymore And there was one about some crazy things They tried in New Orleans When for a time they lived outside the law And the song about the stranger Kept the feelings in her jeans And how she's like to feel it like before But he ain't makin' music anymore
