One... two... three... one |
|
Well, he wasn't looking for fanfare or fame |
|
But it all came around just the same |
|
He then met a girl with desire in her eye |
|
He gave her love, she took his name |
|
The times they were good, the times they were bad |
|
Most times it was just in-between |
|
The hard pill he swallowed was the times that they had |
|
She put on display for all to be seen |
|
Some find their solace in work or the Lord |
|
She was quite content in her dream |
|
When his eyes they burned from the bright lime light |
|
He found comfort in the bottle of the old Jimmy Beam |
|
One day from the depths of his deep darkened hole |
|
He reached out for something to feel |
|
She offered back nothin' but lack of respect |
|
So he let himself out with two barrels of steel |
|
She cried in the day, she cried in the night |
|
She cried loudest when someone was near |
|
Whether crying for him or she cried for herself |
|
The bigger the camera the bigger the tear |
|
Most folks agree she was living a hell |
|
And publicly she showed her pain |
|
And never once was there a thought for herself |
|
And the ever growing slices of fortune and fame |
|
Now on the coattails of a dead man she'll ride (she'll ride) |
|
On the coattails of a dead man she'll ride |
|
On the coattails of a dead man she'll ride, she'll ride |
|
On the coattails of a dead man she'll ride, she'll ride high |
|
On the coattails of a dead man she'll ride (she'll ride) |
|
On the coattails of a dead man she'll ride |
|
On the coattails of a dead man she'll ride, she'll ride |
|
On the coattails of a dead man she'll ride, she'll ride high |
|
On the coattails of a dead man she'll ride (she'll ride) |
|
On the coattails of a dead man she'll ride |
|
On the coattails of a dead man she'll ride, she'll ride |
|
On the coattails of a dead man she'll ride, she'll ride high |
|
On the coattails of a dead man she'll ride (she'll ride) |
|
On the coattails of a dead man she'll ride |
|
On the coattails of a dead man she'll ride, she'll ride |
|
On the coattails of a dead man she'll ride, she'll ride high |
|
On the coattails of a dead man she'll ride (she'll ride) |
|
On the coattails of a dead man she'll ride |
|
On the coattails of a dead man she'll ride, she'll ride |
|
On the coattails of a dead man she'll ride, she'll ride high |
