A Song For My Pirate Friend Lyrics

Well, I saw her from the far side of a dead end dive in Dallas

When she said her name was Alice, I forgot my own

Well, the grave is the only silence for a mystic man of music

Though the heart tunes to the woman, the song plays when she's gone

Rolling down them heartworn highways a thousand miles from home

Muddy river rolling our way, man I heard it in a song

Well, she laid her hands upon me as the waltz came on a swelling

As a gambler I was willing to lay down my bones

As the day came up a lifting, I was by the highway shifting

Nylon bags and run-off ditches, it ain't because she's gone

Rolling down them heartworn highways a thousand miles from home

Muddy river rolling our way, man I heard it in a song

Well, the sky, I named her Wanda, and the road, her name as Shelly,

And the den inside my belly, that's the Bella's song

The stucco sings for sweet Camilla, though she's far in Armadillo

As for Dallas, that woman killed, but I've got many homes

Rolling down them heartworn highways a thousand miles from home

Muddy river rolling our way, man I heard it in a song

Rolling down them heartworn highways a thousand miles from home

Muddy river rolling our way, man I heard it in a song

We'll run that record back all night long
