Lyrics:
Jerry Jeff Walker
I'm just sitting here counting my money
Wondering why I'm in love with you honey
And why everybody is so high strung these days
Jerry Jeff Walker stumbled up the stairs on his way to the
Stage with a Martin guitar and a six pack
Yeah and he was the poet of the Lone Star state
Jerry Jeff Walker stumbled up the stairs on his way to the
Stage with a Martin guitar and a six pack
Yeah and he was the poet of the Lone Star
Jerry Jeff Walker stumbled up the stairs on his way to the
Stage with a Martin guitar and a six pack
Yeah and he was the poet of the Lone Star

Let me tell you a little story about a trip I made to Mexico, with some friends
Of mine that had a pocket full of Mauis and some
was originally
Scheduled to be released last
Year, but it was pushed back
By Meek's label, Atlantic
After he was sentenced to
Six months in prison
(He

Manny was a maker of hats, Manny was much more than that
He was the kind of guy, you and I would want for a friend
Manny was

Life's calling you son, time to travel on
To see the world, and to learn just how to sing your song
But as you go, though we love
a dream now it was so long ago,
Jerry Jeff Walker can be like a coat from the cold,
Hey I'ma going home
Nothing short of the gospel hymns,
I guess
Jerry Jeff Walker
In a boarding house, I'd lay upstairs,
And dream of how I'd live someday
Downstairs there sat, a man who had
A guitar he never
Jerry Jeff Walker
Well I'd already turned the lights out, almost gone to sleep
When a little voice inside me asked, are you all you thought you'd
Jerry Jeff Walker
Oh some times, seems I can't find the lines, babe to tell you are mine
But I feel I have to keep trying, all my funky running
Jerry Jeff Walker
Well I guess it finally happened
I'm tired of running 'round
I thank you for waitin' on me
While I was paintin' the town
For years
Jerry Jeff Walker
Well, our story starts in Texas, where he's tempered by the heat
That skinny Alvin boy believes his fastball can't be heat
So he
Jerry Jeff Walker
If there's anything in this world you want
Better go for yourself
Learn to pick it up with your own two hands
Don't count
Jerry Jeff Walker
Woke up today, rain comin' down,
Wonderin' where all my friends are now.
They're not around; no they're not in town
Used to be me
Jerry Jeff Walker
Texas in October, is about as pretty as it gets
But Texas in the springtime, is even prettier yet
You miss it so much when you're

Chorus:
Hey come away to Belize with me, show you how simple life can be
Long hazy days in the sun,
Where it seems everyone has
Jerry Jeff Walker
Would you like to know why I feel like dancin'
Well, I feel like I got a brand new lease on life
I got my baby with me, she didn't
Jerry Jeff Walker
She likes candles and cut flowers, rearranging them for hours
And as she's lost in thought, I see the girl she was
I watch her
Jerry Jeff Walker
If I took a rollin' wheel
And rolled it ten times round
Would it travel far from here
Or would it just go round
Round and Round
Jerry Jeff Walker
Well this might be the last song that I'm ever gonna write
Cause the world seems more confused to me than any time in my life
I
Firmin, just a brief reminder
My salary has not been paid
Send it care of the ghost by return of post
P.T.O.: no one likes a debtor
So it's better if my
