Drawing twin lines

On a cheap hotel mirror
G7 G C
Watching my free hbo
[Verse 2]

Swerving my way

From fort worth to Houston

Missing a woman I don’t even know
[Verse 3]

Little boy blue

He lost his way

On a highway they say

He was nearer the devil, so far from the farm
[Chorus]

May the moon shine bright on your eyes tonight

And the old times be not forgotten

And I would crawl my way to you

Like rattlesnakes in the cotton

And the cigarettes dropped

On the orange shag carpet

He Took one last breath

In the heat of the moment

Through the smoke ash and cinder, his end it drew near
[Chorus]

May the moon shine bright on your eyes tonight

And the old times be not forgotten

And I would crawl my way to you

Like rattlesnakes in the cotton

Oh I'm standing flatfooted

Prepared for nothing

Something amazing

I don't know what's coming

There ain't no time to argue

Aint no time to play

Not one soul to miss me, as I fade away

I'm burning

Lord help me I'm burning
Am G
Always knew I'd be burning
G C
When all said was all done
