Marty McCarrick - According to the Man in the Moon Lyrics

Cold rain fallin down, this Alabama afternoon
Freight trains whistlein out the blues
I've been awake since Nashville
With my poor feet cryin, dyin in these worn out shoes

I'm goin somewhere, down a nowhere road
That's my life, so I'll travel light
I'm gonna get right, and it's gonna happen soon
According to the man in the moon

I just spent my very last dollar bill
On this empty stomach of mine, seems I never can fill
Come a stray dog, soakin wet and lookin down as me
His ribs stickin through his shaggy coat, just look in for somthin free

He's goin somewhere, down a nowhere road
That's my life, so I'll travel light
I'm gonna get right, and it's gonna happen soon
According to the man in the moon

Stray dog, with your hungry eyes starin
Talkin eyes, tellin me all about sharin
It'd take a colder man than me to turn those eyes away
I gave my dollar sandwich to the stray dog
Maybe I wasn't hungry anyway, Stray dog

New mornin, sun says it's time to leave
Stray dog he's sleepin lyin curled up at my feet
With his talkin eyes and these countless skies
All waitin for me, I'm not alone this time

I got me a friend, on this nowhere road
That's our life, so we'll travel light
Were gonna get it right, and it's gonna happen soon
According to the man in the moon
Somwhere, down a nowhere road, that's our life so we'll travel light
Were gonna get it right and it's gonna happen soon
According to the man in the moon,
Doggone moon, doggone moon, that doggone moon, doggone moon
That doggone moon
