    Stood still on a highway
    I saw a woman
    By the side of the road
    With a face that I knew like my own
    Reflected in my window
    Well she walked up to my quarterlight
    And she bent down real slow
    A fearful pressure paralysed me
    In my shadow

    She said "Son, what are you doing here?
    My fear for you has turned me in my grave"
    I said "Mama, I come to the valley of the rich
    Myself to sell"
    She said "Son, this is the road to Hell"

    Somebody loan me a dime,
    I need to call my old time, used to be.
    Somebody loan me a dime,
    Mmm, I need to call my old time, used to be.

    There was a friend of mine on murder
    And the judge's gavel fell, yeah!
    Jury found him guilty
    Gave him 16 years in hell

    He said, "I ain't spendin' my life here"
    I ain't livin' alone
    Ain't breaking no rocks on the chain gang
    I'm breakin' out and headin' home

    I'm gonna make a jailbreak
    But I'm lookin' towards the sky
    I'm gonna make a jailbreak
    Oh, how I wish that I could fly

    You might call it sad confusion
    You might even call it off
    But once you called me more than just your friend

    F'ing autocorrect.

    I don't know how it gets show from allow when I swipe from A to L. Oh well. At least it is more understandable than me trying to swipe "the" and it turns it to "uber." I literally never use the word uber except when my phone wants to to call one.

    I've been on tenderhooks, ending in dirty looks
    Listening to the Muzak, thinking 'bout this 'n' that
    She said, "That's that, I don't wanna chitter-chat"
    Turn it down a little bit or turn it down flat


    That bass line though...

    She asks him why
    "Why I'm a hairy guy?"
    I'm hairy noon and nighty-night night
    My hair is a fright
    I'm hairy high and low
    But don't ask me why
    'Cause he don't know
    It's not for lack of bread
    Like the Grateful Dead
    Darlin'

    Oh, say can you see my eyes if you can -- then my hair's too short.

    Darlin' don't you go and cut your hair,
    Do you think it's gonna make him change?
    I'm just a boy with a new haircut,
    And that's a pretty nice haircut ...
