John Denver "Sweet Melinda" |
Pulled out of Denton, Texas Two days and nights ago I been livin' on pills and burgers Till the whites of my eyes don't show The south-bound headlights are makin' me blind And I'm too damn tired to blink My toes are numb and my brain's gone dumb And I can just barely think Sweet Melinda, my wife The lonesome moan of this eighteen wheeler Cuts through me like a knife Except for you, sweet Melinda, my wife I been ridin' on empty most all of my life Two more hours till daylight And it's startin' to rain again A sign up ahead says welcome to Paradise Population Ten Well, me and this truck and that old white line Stumblin' on and on Like three old drinkin' buddies Comin' home at dawn Singin' Ooh, sweet Melinda, my wife The lonesome moan of this eighteen wheeler Cuts through me like a knife Except for you, sweet Melinda, my wife I been ridin' on empty most all of my life Except for you, Sweet Melinda, my wife The lonesome moan of this eighteen wheeler Cuts through me like a knife Except for you, Sweet Melinda, my wife I been ridin' on empty most all of my life I been ridin' on empty most all of my life Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
