Roy Songtext
von R.B. Morris

Roy was a wino by the railroad warehouse
He worked for Bud Whitby doing maintenance jobs
Just a-coming and a-going in his green GMC
A bottle full of troubles and a pocket full of keys

Hey buddy, are we friends?
Do you like me all right?
Let′s drink some this morning
We'll be home by tonight
Do you like country music?
Hell, it′s come pretty far
I used to know Donnie Gibson
Before he was a star

He was laying in the front seat as evening turned to day
Eleven days running just a-wasted away
And once there was a family, a wife and a son
And forty years of trying before it was gone


Hey buddy, are we friends?
Do you like me all right?
Let's drink some this morning
We'll be home by tonight
Do you think that you could learn me that flat top guitar?
I′m too old I reckon, but you could be a star

Now some folks are wealthy and some folks are poor
And some folks love money while some never care
Well old Roy was just a drunk, one drink at a time
And he never cared if you done the buying

Hey buddy, are we friends?
Do you like me all right?
Let′s drink some this morning
We'll be home by tonight
Do you like country music?
Hell, it′s come pretty far
I used to know Donnie Gibson
Before he was a star

Do I talk too much?
Let me know if you're mad
And would you sing that one again?
You are my sunshine
