Sweet Melody
Well, I walked this earth for thirty years looking for my grave
Don't cry your eyes out for me dear, I don't want to be saved
Well, the devil's in the distance, calling out to me
And if I go, I know my soul will never be free
But if I can, I'll trade it all, just for a sack of honky-tonk
Searchin' for sweet melody, that's all this life means to me
Old Hank's playin' on the radio, and Lucy's in her car
If she drives a hundred miles it won't be too far
"That woman is the devil" my mother said to me
And it took three years and forty tears before I would believe
Now there ain't nothin' I won't do just for a sack of delta blues
Searchin' for sweet melody, that's all this life means to me
One, two, three, four, get your feet out on that floor
Five, six, seven, eight, show's at ten so don't be late!
I'm starin' at a six pack, my one and only friend
Just one pull off a cigarette would leave me heaven sent
Well, I know that it will kill me, see I just don't care
I ain't got much to live for, and I ain't got much to spare
But when I go let it be known, my soul was made of rock n' roll
Searchin' for sweet melody, that's all this life means to me
Don't cry your eyes out for me dear, I don't want to be saved
Well, the devil's in the distance, calling out to me
And if I go, I know my soul will never be free
But if I can, I'll trade it all, just for a sack of honky-tonk
Searchin' for sweet melody, that's all this life means to me
Old Hank's playin' on the radio, and Lucy's in her car
If she drives a hundred miles it won't be too far
"That woman is the devil" my mother said to me
And it took three years and forty tears before I would believe
Now there ain't nothin' I won't do just for a sack of delta blues
Searchin' for sweet melody, that's all this life means to me
One, two, three, four, get your feet out on that floor
Five, six, seven, eight, show's at ten so don't be late!
I'm starin' at a six pack, my one and only friend
Just one pull off a cigarette would leave me heaven sent
Well, I know that it will kill me, see I just don't care
I ain't got much to live for, and I ain't got much to spare
But when I go let it be known, my soul was made of rock n' roll
Searchin' for sweet melody, that's all this life means to me
