It was my home away from home
Now those many nights of gettin’ stoned’re gone
This is what she had to say man you’d better stay away
Or I’ll burn that little tavern down someday.
You ain’t never fell as far as when you fall in love
Except the fall you take when you’ve been loved and given up
When you have your heart and soul rubbed into the dirt
You’d hear the patter of his feet as he came todding down the street
His smile would hide a lonely heart you see
If there were sweethearts in the park he’d pass a lamp and leave it dark
Remembering the days that used to be
Well that Firewater that-uh you’ve Been Drinkin’
Makes you Feel Bigger but Chief you’re Shrinkin’
Since you’ve Been on that Love Makin’ Diet
Now don’t Hand me that old Peace Pipe
There ain’t no Pipe can Settle this Fight
He said I’ll love you till I die
She told him you’ll forget in time
As the years went slowly by
She still preyed upon his mind
He kept her picture on his wall
Went half crazy now and then,
but he still loved her through it all
hoping she’d come back again
Hello gray skies
Were are the shining stars above?
Do you miss them
As I’ll always miss my love?
If you do then I’ll stay with you
All night long until the dawn
For I know that I can’t sleep now that she’s gone
Poor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio, he moved a million hearts in mono.
Our mothers cried and sang along and who’d blame them.
Now you’re grown, so grown, now I must say more than ever.
Go Toora Loora Toora Loo-Rye-Aye
and we can sing just like our fathers.
