Fletcher - Blitzen Trapper

Oh mama I've been talking to

those western stars

They give me comfort at night

Right lying in the back of the car

An I can see your face in the place

That I go when I'm there

Me and Jimmy an the boys

Running dark up in the mountain air yeah

Got a couple more runs

Till the sun's coming up in the east

Ole Fletcher's in the car

Drinking 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

Don't you let ole 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 cha let ole Fletcher

take the wheel tonight

There ain't much to live for

But there's this woman and

She's got me feeling pretty alright

Loving 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

Ole Fletcher's been drinking with a pistol

And is itching to play

Saying 'Man I had this woman

She was living at the mouth of the bay

But she found me out

And now she sees a man who wears a suit

I seen him walking his dog down

By the company in brand new boots yeah uh

So don't you let ole Fletcher

take the wheel tonight

His heart's grown cold

And this old dirt road runs rough

And ragged to a terrible height

Don't cha let ole Fletcher

take the wheel tonight

There ain't much to live for

But there's this woman

And she's got me feeling pretty alright

Loving 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

Oh mama I've been talking

to those western stars

They give me comfort at night

Right lying in the back of the car

An I can see your face

In the place that I'll go when I'm there

Me and Jimmy and the boys

Running dark up in the mountain air yeah
