Started out on burgundy, but soon hit the harder stuff
Everybody said stand behind me when the game got a little too rough
But the joke was on me, there was no one even there to call my bluff
Goin’ back to New York City, I do believe I’ve had enough
(Lyrics transcribed as sung at this performance)
You let me kiss you on Broadway in a black Cadillac
And it was good while it lasted
Last night I didn’t sleep at all
I found another empty wall
And I couldn’t get past it
And for a minute in the afternoon
I almost didn’t think of you
It was good while it lasted
When the world
is a hard place to live
Everything feels like
it’s all take and no give
Mountains are high
you’re too weak to climb
Whoa, whoa, darlin’
just keep my heart in mind
Keep my heart in mind, darlin’
keep my heart in mind
My love for you is deep and true
so keep my heart in mind
There’s flies in the kitchen
I can hear ‘em they’re buzzin’
And I ain’t done nothin’
since I woke up today
How the hell can a person
Go to work in the mornin’
And come home in the evenin’
And have nothin’ to say
Make me an angel
That flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing
That I can hold on to
To believe in this livin’
Is just a hard way to go
