Jim Lauderdale - I'll Sing Again lyrics

rate me

I'm gonna sit right here all day and night

That's what I said, reckon 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 (I'll sing again)

Of busted dreams and god-forsaken men

Of lonesome roads that never seem to end

And when I'm done, get up and sing again

Heard old lonesome coyote's midnight song

A-howling at the moonlight all night long

I grabbed my pen and wrote down on my sleeve

How hearts that love, they sometime got to grieve

I'll sing again (I'll sing again)

Yes, sing again (Yes, 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 guitar ring 'bout half past nine

Plays watermelon hanging on the vine

The baby wakes up crying down the hall

And the undertaker's beating 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 if it don't offend

But if I happen to I'll sing again

I mean to speak if it don't offend

But if I happen to I'll sing again
