Waylon Jennings - The Only Daddy Thatll lyrics

(Jerry Careaga & Dick Holler)

Sleep, some nights it just don't show

When you've pushed and life won't go

Your dreams get lost and your sorrows grow

You read and try to watch TV, take a drive out to the sea

You might break down but you can't break free.

Standin' in a crossfire, hangin' from a live wire

Reachin' for a lost smile and hidin' in the wind

Standin' in a crossfire, stranded on a high wire

Runnin' from a reason and lookin' for a friend.

Dreams, your eyes are almost blind

They photograph your mind

And leave a trace of her love in time

Nights, you live the smoky past

Try to break the spell she cast

You start out first but you end up last.

Standin' in a crossfire, hangin' from a live wire

Reachin' for a lost smile and hidin' in the wind

Standin' in a crossfire, stranded on a high wire

Runnin' from a reason and lookin' for a friend.

Standin' in a crossfire, hangin' from a live wire

Crossfire, live wire...
