Proposin' Medley (Live at Wacken 2017)
It sounds so nice, what you're proposing
Just once or twice, and not disclosing
And not disclosing how we're feeling, really feeling
What you're proposing the other night
As I was leaving, I looked left and right
And not believing
And not believing that I'd finally be leaving
What you're proposing, now get it right
If I'm composing, but then I might
Be runny nosing
I might be runny runny runny runny nosing
But you're supposing
And not believing that I'd finally be leaving
What you're proposing
What you're proposing
What you're proposing
What you're proposing
Heading down the back turnpike
Signposts are pointing west
Fell into the lonely dustpipe
Hope my pickup can stand the test
But I'm doing all right now
Rolling down the dustpipe
Guess I didn't make it in the city
But that's just the way that it goes
There's a lotta lunatics, crazy ghostmen baby
Don't like the shape of my nose
But I'm doing all right now
Rolling down the dustpipe now
Well you wouldn't read my letters if I wrote you
You asked me not to call you on the phone
Well there's something I've been waiting for to tell you
So I wrote it in the words of a song
Now the glamour of the gay night-life has lured you
To the places where the wine and liquor flow
Well you went to be somebody else's baby
And forget the truest love you've ever known
I never knew there were honky-tonk angels
Oh I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to that wild side of life
I never knew there were honky-tonk angels
Oh I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to that wild side of life
Railroad she left me standing on a line
Railroad she's really leaving me this time
Leaving on the midnight train
Leaving never gonna come back again
I'm living alone
A place of my own
A bed a chair and one back door
Something went wrong
With the words to my song
And now she ain't around no more
It was something she said
As she laid on my bed
Six or seven hours ago
I guess I was wrong
I really didn't think she would go
Railroad she left me standing on a line
Railroad she's really leaving me this time
Leaving on the midnight train
Leaving never gonna come back again
Well once upon a time not so very long ago
There wasn't such a thing as a rock'n'roll show
You had to sit at home and listen to the radio
Then came a man with a rockin' guitar
Found himself a beat and he played it near and far
Everybody danced and sang and let the good times roll
Again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again?
Again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again?
I said why don't you do it, why don't you do it again?
I said why don't you do it, why don't you do it again?
