Fletcher Songtext
von Blitzen Trapper

Oh mama I′ve been talking to those western stars
They give me comfort at night riding lion 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 running dark up in the mountain air
Yeah

Got a couple more runs till the sun′s coming up in the east
Old Fletcher's in the car drinking
Whiskey from a jar through his teeth
Jimmy ain't black but his tracks lead up into the trees
I guess it rained up the floor but to drive on up and see what we see
Yeah


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 feeling pretty alright
Her loving oh Lord could make me change my
Ways so won't you let me live another day
I guess I′d like to live another day

Old Fletcher's been drinking with a pistol and he's itching to play
Saying man I had this woman she was living at the mouth of the bay
But she found me out and now she sees a man who wears a suit
I seen him walking his dog down to the company in brand new boots
Yeah

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 feeling pretty alright
Her loving oh Lord could make me change my
Ways so won't you let me live another day
I guess I′d like to live another day

Oh mama I've been talking to those western stars
They give me comfort at night riding lion 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 running dark up in the mountain air
Yeah
