Fletcher - Blitzen Trapper

Oh mama I been talkin' to those western stars

They give me comfort at night, right lyin' in the back of the car

And I can see your face in the place that I go when I’m there

Me and Jimmy and the boys runnin' dark up in the mountain air, yeah

Got a couple more runs 'til the sun’s comin' up in the east

Ole Fletcher’s in the car drinkin' whiskey from a jar through his teeth

Jimmy ain’t back but his tracks lead up into the trees

I guess there ain’t nothin' for it but to drive on up and see what they see

So don’t you let old Fletcher take the wheel tonight

His heart’s grown cold and this old dirt road

Runs rough and ragged to a terrible height

Don’t you let old Fletcher take the wheel tonight

There ain’t much to live for

But there’s this woman and she’s got me feelin' pretty alright

And lovin' oh lord can make me change my ways

So won’t you let me live another day

Guess I’d like to live another day

Old Fletcher’s been drinking with a pistol and he’s itching to play

Sayin' man I had this woman she was livin' at the mouth of the bay

But she found me out and now she sees a man who wears these suits

I seen him walkin' his dog down by the company in brand new boots

So don’t you let old Fletcher take the wheel tonight

His heart’s grown cold and this old dirt road

Runs rough and ragged to a terrible height

Don’t you let old Fletcher take the wheel tonight

There ain’t much to live for

But there’s this woman and she’s got me feelin' pretty alright

And lovin' oh lord can make me change my ways

So won’t you let me live another day

Guess I’d like to live another day

Oh mama I’ve been talkin' to those western stars
