I met an old friend this morning |
|
And I stopped him and called him by name |
|
I said, "The years haven't changed youBut he said, " |
|
Good Lord, how you've changed!"So we stood there and talked on the cornerAnd remembered the good times we hadThen he asked if we're happy togetherAnd I only smiled and I said" |
|
Yes, she keeps me off the streets |
|
And she keeps me out of trouble |
|
Sometimes at night, |
|
Lord, when |
|
I hear the wind |
|
I wish I was crazy again, yes, |
|
I wish I was crazy again"Then we stopped in at a tavernWe had us a round or twoWe called ourselves old desperado's, old desperado'sAs old friends are likely to doWe sat for a while and rememberedThen he said, " |
|
Let's have just one more"I said, " |
|
I'd sure like to join you |
|
But best be goin' on home"" |
|
Yes, she keeps me off the streets |
|
She keeps me off the streets" |
