OR SO I'VE BEEN TOLD

You may not know it yet A stranger's just a friend who you haven't met The jet sets and the rednecks You could say I've made the rounds But don't say nothing to Doreen She's got a fury like you've never seen She's got game, but games, get old Or so I've been told

Knew the odds, made the bet The results aren't in yet I should call Claudette and see If she still has a room for me Life is short, talk is cheap A lesson learned is the gold you keep You cannot count on a good night's sleep When you're on the road Or so I've been told

Pick up band, one night stand Played some Willie Nelson now I'm on the road again That horizon isn't any closer now than it was 20 years ago Wheels roll, day and night To beat the devil, you have to travel light If that old devil gets you in his sights Watch out for your soul Or so I've been told

Now Claudette, she's doing fine And it turned out the baby wasn't mine We sure had some good times Hey! keep in touch I got back to town Just in time to watch it burn down And Doreen's nowhere to be found But she did leave a note Or so I've been told

Or so I've been told
