Joe Ferguson forever Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin When I say that I'm okay, well, they look at me kind of strange "Surely you're not happy now? You no longer play the game" [Verse 2] People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away Well, they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me When I tell 'em that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall "Don't you miss the big time boy? You're no longer on the ball" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OGTEleven Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Lady luck's still a mystery with her head on my shoulder And I don't know why I still want her to dance I guess that's all history what it is is I'm older And I'm still a fool for your one-way romance Her dice were red rubies, they rolled and they tumbled And I never saw time running out with my roll And in the wasteland of cut glass my dreams were all crumbled And I've paid with whatever I had left for a soul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muppy Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 They call you Lady Luck But there is room for doubt At times, you've had a very unlady-like way of running out You're on this date with me The Pickens have been lush And yet before this evening is over You might give me the brush You might forget your manners You might refuse to stay And so the best that I can do is pray Luck be a lady tonight Luck be a lady tonight Luck if you've ever been a lady to begin with, luck be a lady tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGTEleven Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I had a brush with luck It wasn't close enough To burn this table down But it's learning to stay When love comes your way That's laying your best hand down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Ferguson forever Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 'Round here, something radiates Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand She said she'd like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis And she walks along the edge Of where the ocean meets the land Just like she's walking on a wire in the circus She parks her car outside of my house And takes her clothes off Says she's close to understanding Jesus And she knows she's more than just a little misunderstood She has trouble acting normal when she's nervous 'Round here, we're carving out our names 'Round here, we all look the same 'Round here, we talk just like lions But we sacrifice like lambs 'Round here, she's slipping through my hands Woah oh oh Sleeping children better run like the wind Out of the lightning dream  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
