00:00One more time.
00:30One more time.
01:00I wanted to be free, and I am alone.
01:04But there are no strings on me, just a snitch around my neck.
01:09The other end is in the tree, where the cradle used to rock.
01:15The bow was broken, the branch burned in the fire.
01:20These embers long ago have turned alive.
01:24But the soap I tried to make, it wouldn't wash away.
01:30The dirty feeling, like I made a big mistake.
01:35But I'm not gonna jump, I'll keep my feet on the ground.
01:40Gonna paint my face up, like a circus clown.
01:44La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
02:44I've never been sadder, I've never been more sad
02:49Feels like the beginning of something real bad
02:54I tried to be good, good as I could be
02:59I wanted to be free, now I am alone
03:04But there are no strings on me, just this noose around my neck
03:10The other end is in the tree, where the cradle used to rock
03:15The bow is broken, the branch burned in the fire
03:20These embers long ago have turned alive
03:24But the soap I tried to make, it wouldn't wash away
03:29The dirty feeling, like I made a big mistake
03:35But I'm not gonna jump, I keep my feet on the ground
03:39Gonna paint my face up, like a circus clown
03:44La la la la la, la la la la, la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
04:14All right then. From the top, here we go. One, two, three, four.
04:34If it were mine to keep, I'd be keeping it with mine. If it were mine to keep, I'd be keeping it in reach.
04:43If it were mine to keep, I'd be keeping it in time. I'd be keeping it with mine. Even keeping him asleep. If it were mine to keep.
04:52If I can't have, I've chased what can't be called. But I've never sold what should not be bought.
05:01Look beneath the stone for a misplaced chance. Off our same day circumstance. If it were mine to keep, I'd be keeping it with mine.
05:12If it were mine to keep, I'd be keeping it in reach. I'd be keeping it in time. I'd be keeping it with mine. Even keeping him asleep. If it were mine to keep.
05:24I think of luck, I'd crumble like stars against the beat. My hair stinks from my emotions leave.
05:42I've often wished for more and got less. But I've got no right to complain, I guess. My thoughts turn to them with nothing at all.
06:04I know that I'm ashamed of my selfishness. If it were mine to keep, I'd be keeping it with mine. If it were mine to keep.
06:14If it were mine to keep. I'd be keeping it in reach. I'd be keeping it in time. I'd be keeping it with mine. Even keeping him asleep. If it were mine to keep.
06:24I'm going back to Mississippi. Where they party, ride. Drink moonshine liquor.
06:40I'm going back to Mississippi where they party ride
06:49Drink moonshine liquor and dance all night
06:57I'm going to let it sink in my bones
07:02Be late to see the things I'd never leave behind
07:10They were mine to keep
07:14If they were mine to keep, I'd be keeping it with mine
07:21They were mine to keep, I'd be keeping it in use
07:25I'd be keeping it in time, I'd be keeping it with mine
07:29Even keeping it in my sleep
07:31If they were mine to keep
07:33If they were mine to keep, I'd be keeping it with mine
07:37They were mine to keep, I'd be keeping it in reach
07:41I'd be keeping it in time, I'd be keeping it with mine
07:46Even keeping it in my sleep
07:48If they were mine to keep
07:50Oh, my God.
08:20Oh, my God.
08:50Oh, my God.
09:20Oh, my God.
09:21Oh, my God.
09:22Oh, my God.
09:23Oh, my God.
09:24Oh, my God.
09:28Oh, my God.
09:29Oh, my God.
09:33Oh, my God.
09:34Oh, my God.
09:40Oh, my God.
09:41Stranger, stranger, please.
09:44Oh, my God.
09:45Oh, my God.
09:46Oh, my God.
09:47Oh, my God.
09:49Oh, my God.
09:50Oh, my God.
09:51Oh, my God.
09:52Oh, my God.
09:53Oh, my God.
09:54Oh, my God.
09:55Oh, my God.
09:56Oh, my God.
09:57Oh, my God.
09:58Oh, my God.
09:59Stranger, please, my feet are tangled on wisteria vines, I may not catch myself this time, stranger, please.
10:29Stranger, stranger, please, you seem to think you can read my mind and tell me all about it like story time, stranger, please, stranger, stranger, please.
10:51My bones are weaker than I thought they'd be, they break with words that you say to me, stranger, please, but when it was new, when it was new, you could do magic.
11:13Make me laugh at the traffic when it was new, when it was new, when it was new, you, stranger, stranger, please, you seem unknown to your oldest friends, I'm not sure if I'm still in your plan.
11:40Stranger, please, stranger, stranger, please, my feet are tangled on wisteria vines, I may not catch myself this time, stranger, please.
11:59But when it was new, when it was new, when it was new, you, you could do magic.
12:11Make me laugh at the traffic when it was new, when it was new, when it was new, you, you could do magic.
12:25Make me laugh at the traffic when it was new, when it was new, when it was new, you, you could do magic.
12:44Make me laugh at the traffic when it was new.
19:23All right.
19:28All right, here we go.
19:58Some crimes are worse than others, some too small to count. History is written for the winners, it's loose, no stories about. When I ask you come daylight, please be kind and remember that this never happened, and I was never here.
20:22Well, they'll recall what they do, they'll swear they saw what they did, they will lean in their favor, my brim will keep it in.
20:35Well, the gun of course was loaded, and a lady is always guilty, but this never happened, and I was never here.
20:45Well, I don't recall what I was thinking, but I felt it all so clearly. The moment was a compromise, a lesson I did.
20:59Though soon you'd be asked to recount, may I suggest to the best of your knowledge, that this never happened, and I was never here.
21:09All right.
21:15Well, I won't look back and see you close the door.
21:38Well, I won't be yours, no, I won't be yours no more.
21:45Well, my bringing love won't heal, I'll be unrepair.
21:51Might be better this way, but it's kind of hard to say.
21:55When I ask you come daylight, please be kind and remember that this never happened, and I was never here.
22:06So when I ask you come daylight, please be kind and remember that this never happened, and I was never here.
22:17And I was never here, and I was never here.
22:25Hey.
22:29All right?
22:31Yeah.
22:32One, two, three.
22:34Well, I was hiding in the dark, afraid of your love.
22:57It's like a mighty river raging, the color of my love.
23:02A never-ending song, it was evening so long, and blue as the bird wishing morning would come.
23:11I'd run west as I can be, without falling in the sea.
23:17Where the break is at its peak, and it's dancing for me.
23:21It's a great divide, it's like day to night.
23:26Alone in the sand, and I'm feeling alive.
23:31There's a morning wind blowing, rising up from the ocean.
23:36And it's cooling me down, and it's cooling me down, and I'm loving this town now.
23:41You're so far away, I can't hear you calling.
23:45And I don't need to know how much you're missing me, darling.
23:50It's a great divide, it's like day to night.
23:55Alone in the sand, and I'm feeling alive.
24:00I can't stop looking into the sun, into the sea.
24:04I love how the sunrise is blinding me.
24:09I don't want to see your soul, except the one that's in me.
24:13It's a great divide.
24:42It's like day to night, alone in the sand, and I'm feeling alive.
24:49I can't stop looking into the sun, into the sea.
24:54I love how the sunrise is blinding me.
24:59Don't want to see your soul, except the one that's in me.
25:03I'm loving you.
25:04Don't want to see your soul, except the one that's in me.
25:05I welcome you, either for leaves.
25:06Just take my soul, except the one that's in me.
25:37Here we go.
25:40Yep.
26:07You ain't half the man you used to be.
26:14Yes, no matter where you are, you got strength on your guitar.
26:22You look me up in Memphis, Tennessee.
26:30Good old times, for old times sake.
26:37Just a bottle of wine will help me to ease the pain.
26:47Good old times, for a good time, girl.
26:53Oh, come find me and we'll have a good old time.
27:03Well, it's been getting kind of rough on me.
27:08Up here in Memphis, Tennessee.
27:10All night long, I hear the big jet engine's whine.
27:19I need something I can feel.
27:24Yeah, something that's for real.
27:28Still a place for me out in the sun.
27:36Good old times, for old times sake.
27:42Just a bottle of wine will help me to ease the pain.
27:52Good old times, for a good time, girl.
27:59Come find me and we'll have a good old time.
28:08All right.
28:09Good old times, too.
28:33Good old times
28:44For old times sake
28:47Just a bottle of wine
28:52Don't help me to ease the pain
28:55Good old times
29:00For good times girl
29:05Come find me, and we'll have a good old time
29:12Come find me, and we'll have a good old time
29:20Come find me, and we'll have a good old time
