Lyrics for Song: Barroom Stranger
Lyrics for Album: Everything from Jesus to Jack Daniels [Mercury] [1983]
(Tom T. Hall - Ray Edwards - Terry Foust)
Why, I just hit town on my way home thirteen long days I'd been gone
Driving day and night and I was feeling kinda rough
Oh, I pulled into a late night lounge I got a cold beer and sat down
I heard some barroom stranger talking about his latest love.
Well, he was standing tall and proud drinking hard and talkin' loud
The has beens and the hope toos all turned an ear his way
Said she really made his night worthwhile the barroom stranger said and smiled
A chill ran through me when I heard that stranger say.
She stands five foot six, she knows a lot of tricks
She's married to some truck driving man
Long black hair and laughin' eyes skin as soft as paradise
And she knows what to do to please a traveling man.
My mind went blind with anger when I heard the barroom stranger
Talking about my baby and the wild games that they played
I guess I lost all reason when I heard the way she pleased him
I stumbled out the door as once again I heard him say.
She stands five foot six, she knows a lot of tricks
She's married to some truck driving man
Long black hair and laughin' eyes skin as soft as paradise
And she knows what to do to please a traveling man.
Six long years have come and gone and now I'm lyin' here alone
Starin' through these prison bars but I don't give a damn
All that I remember is one cold night in December
They said they found me walking with a pistol in my hand.
She stood five foot six ah she knew a lot of tricks
She was married to some truck drivin' man
She had long black hair and laughin' eyes skin as soft as paradise
But now she'll never get to please another travelin' man.
And the moral of the story is
If you drive don't think...
