Blitzen Trapper - Fletcher lyrics

rate me

Oh mama I been talkin' to those western starsThey give me comfort at night, right lyin' in the back of the carAnd I can see your face in the place that I go when I'm thereMe and Jimmy and the boys runnin' dark up in the mountain air, yeahGot a couple more runs 'til the sun's comin' up in the eastOle Fletcher's in the car drinkin' whiskey from a jar through his teethJimmy ain't back but his tracks lead up into the treesI guess there ain't nothin' for it but to drive on up and see what they seeSo don't you let old Fletcher take the wheel tonightHis heart's grown cold and this old dirt roadRuns rough and ragged to a terrible heightDon't you let old Fletcher take the wheel tonightThere ain't much to live forBut there's this woman and she's got me feelin' pretty alrightAnd lovin' oh lord can make me change my waysSo won't you let me live another dayGuess I'd like to live another dayOld Fletcher's been drinking with a pistol and he's itching to playSayin' man I had this woman she was livin' at the mouth of the bayBut she found me out and now she sees a man who wears these suitsI seen him walkin' his dog down by the company in brand new bootsSo don't you let old Fletcher take the wheel tonightHis heart's grown cold and this old dirt roadRuns rough and ragged to a terrible heightDon't you let old Fletcher take the wheel tonightThere ain't much to live forBut there's this woman and she's got me feelin' pretty alrightAnd lovin' oh lord can make me change my waysSo won't you let me live another dayGuess I'd like to live another dayOh mama I've been talkin' to those western starsThey give me comfort at night, right lyin' in the back of the carAnd I can see your face in the place that I go when I'm thereMe and Jimmy and the boys runnin' dark up in the mountain air, yeah
