Drank Like A River
Well, he was nearly died when he returned to the town hed come from
Hes brown bagging it tonight behind some tavern.
Somebody wrecked his life, and Ill bet you it was his darlin
Somebody wrecked his life, and Ill bet you it was his darlin
So he drank like a river when the wedding bells rang
Watched from the steeple as the choir girls sang
Died in a gutter on his feet and his hands...
The same hands that had once touched her face
Well, he was nearly died when he returned to the town hed come from
Hes hanging out drinking beer with his brother-in-law
He was a drinker at night, and in the morning he was unnerving
He was a drinker full time, the day that he lost his darlin
So he drank like a river when the wedding bells rang
Watched from the steeple as the choir girls sang
Died in a gutter on his feet and his hands...
The same hands that had once touched her face
So he drank like a river when the wedding bells rang
Watched from the steeple as the choir girls sang
Died in a gutter on his feet and his hands...
The same hands that had once touched her face

16days
I got sixteen days
One for every time Ive gone away
One for every time I should have stayed
You should have worn my wedding ring
I got sixteen days
Fifteen of those are nights
Cant sleep when the bed sheet fights
Its way back to your side
The ghost has got me running
The ghost has got me running
Away from you, away from you, away from you.
The ghost has got me running
The ghost has got me running
Away from you, away from you, away from you.
I got sixteen days
Got a Bible and a rosary
God, I wish that you were close to me
Guess I owe you an apology
I got sixteen days
Fifteen of those are nights

Hard Luck Story
Well, I was thinking that I shoulda,
But I didnt ever leave you,
But baby, Im leavin tonight
And theres a trucker drinking coffee in the station who can give me a ride.
Well, I was thinking about a heading to mobile, alabama
And that was just last saturday night.
I can leave you if I wanna, little baby and Im gonna tonight.
Cause I got a bucket full of tears and a hard luck story
Theres a bad moon rising behind
And I swore it to your daddy that I loved you, but I changed my mind.
Well, Im a fast talking, hell raising, son of a bitch
And Im a sinner and I know how to fight
Well, I can leave you if I wanna, little baby and Im gonna tonight.
Cause I got a bucket full of tears and a hard luck story
Theres a bad moon rising behind
And I swore it to your daddy that I loved you, but I changed my mind.
Well, Im a fast talking, hell raising, son of a bitch
And Im a sinner and I know how to fight
Cause I can leave you if I wanna, little baby and Im gonna tonight.
Well I was sitting, I was drinking on a barstool

I Hope It Rains At My Funeral
Cant send no fourteen year-old boy to no school
The only thing I learned in the years I worked on my daddys farm was,
Son, you better get them crops in when it turns cool.
In the magazines, I saw the naked women
I heard about the drinkin and the bars
If my daddy couldve caught me, hed a-killed me
He said, you might run, boy, but you aint gonna get far.
I hit town or you might say that it hit me
Next mornin there were things I knew more about
The woman who had taken me in said, country boy, youre all right.
The same way I turned her on, she turned me out
The first law I broke, right away they got me
I helped them build the country roads for awhile
They fed me two times a day and knocked me down about four
For thirty days I didnt even crack a smile
I met a nice girl and she said I was her baby
She let me go and would never tell me why
I learned what it means to be somebodys baby
They let you lie in your bed by yourself and cry
The miles were good but the mileage is turnin my hair gray
