I'm gonna sit
right here all day and night
It's what I said, Rick,
and you heard me right
Don't care about fame or fortune
in the eyes of men
Just take what the law allows
and say amen
I heard the Memphis train
speak to the moon
Whipped out my fountain pen,
wrote down the tune
Don't care if it's been sung,
I don't know when
Such a good old tune, I'll sing again
I'll sing again, I'll sing again,
I'll sing again
Of busted dreams and godforsaken men
Of lonesome roads
that never seem to end
And when I'm done,
get up and sing again
Third old lonesome coyote's
midnight song
Howlin' at the moonlight all night long
I grabbed my pen
and wrote down on my sleeve
All hearts of love,
they sometimes got to grieve
I'll sing again, I'll sing again,
yeah, sing again, yeah, sing again,
just as long and loudly as I can.
Some say the coyote howls,
some say the moon,
but only broken hearts can sing that tune.
I hear a ring about half past nine
Place watermelon hangin' on the vine
The baby wakes up cryin' down the hall
And the undertaker's beatin' on the wall
I'll sing again.
I'll sing again.
Yes, sing again.
Yes, sing again.
Like any evening train
heard round the bend.
I mean to speak my peace if it don't offend.
But if I happen to, I'll sing again.
I mean to speak my peace
if it don't offend.
But if I happen to, I'll sing again
