[ Featuring the Railroad Spikes ]
Lately, life's been throwing everything that it can find
And I've been feeling like I've wasted all my precious earthly time
And Lord knows this life on the road has been so hard on me and you
Probably why you called me up last night just to say"honey, we're through"
But if you got it in your heart, could you grant me this one request
Cause lately, of me, bad luck has gotten the best
So, if you got it in your heart, could you grant me this plea
The next time you see one, won't you turn a pretty penny heads side up for me
Now, I'm not one for superstitions or fantasies
But it's looking like this future of mine ain't gonna be no road of ease
Lord knows heartbreak don't make these mountain highways any easier to traverse
At the rate I'm going, I'm starting to think I might just be better off in a hearse
But if I'm gone, there ain't no way you could ever come back
Well, right now you wouldn't even come to my funeral if I had me one of them heart attacks
So, I'll keep on picking and singing through the low, lonely and cold night
And I figure if I make a little money on it, baby, you just might
Come on back to me when there's a little more financial security
So, if you got it in your heart, could you grant me this plea
The next time you see one, won't you turn a pretty penny heads side up for me
The next time you see one, won't you turn a pretty penny heads side up for me
