Fletcher

Oh, mama, I've been talkin' to those western stars
They give me comfort at night, right lyin' in the back of the car
An' I can see your face in the place that I go when I'm there
Me an' Jimmy an' the boys runnin' dark up in the mountain air, yeah

Got a couple more runs till the sun's comin' up in the east
Ol' Fletcher's in the car drinkin' whiskey from a jar through his teeth
Jimmy ain't back but his tracks lead up into the trees
I guess there ain't nothing for it but to drive on up and see what we see, yeah, uh huh

So don't you let ol' Fletcher take the wheel tonight
His heart's grown cold an' this old dirt road runs rough and ragged to a terrible height
So don't you let ol' Fletcher take the wheel tonight
There ain't much to live for, but there's this woman and she's got me feelin' pretty alright
Lovin', oh Lord, can make me change my ways, so won't you let me live another day
Guess I'd like to live another day

Ol' Fletcher's been drinkin' with a pistol and he's itchin' to play
Sayin', "Man, I had this woman, she was livin' at the mouth of the bay
But she found me out and now she sees a man who wears a suit
I seen him walkin' his dog down by the company in brand new boots, yeah, uh huh"

So don't you let ol' Fletcher take the wheel tonight
His heart's grown cold an' this old dirt road runs rough and ragged to a terrible height
So don't you let ol' Fletcher take the wheel tonight
There ain't much to live for, but there's this woman and she's got me feelin' pretty alright
Lovin', oh Lord, can make me change my ways, so won't you let me live another day
I guess I'd like to live another day, yeah
