David Ackles - Another Friday night / 1972
VERSURI:
Another Friday night,
Guess I'll put a clean shirt on
and hitch a ride to town.
No more work for two whole days,
there's no point hanging 'round.
Working on the road,
I sweat and ache and cuss the pain,
but it sure does pass the time.
Two days free and all I see
are the same old walls to climb.
Guess I could fall by Morreau's Bar
and maybe borrow Jack's guitar
and find a girl to sing to.
Lord knows, she's what I'm longin'.
Hey, who am I kidding ? She can't
the sort of girl who'd wait for me
in Sunday laces
in the kind of places I belong in.
But I hold on to my dreams, anyway,
I'll never let them die.
they keep me going through the bad times
while I dream of the good times coming by.
Ten years out from home,
I joined a circus, worked the fields,
but I never saved a dime.
Never stayed in one place long,
Less I was doing time.
Looking for my life,
I thought I'd found it once or twice,
but it turned out I was wrong.
Heard the music and learned to dance
to someone else's song.
I've had men tell me, "Be content
To spend your life for food and rent,
and give up trying."
They say life's dying jailor.
I just tell them I do all right.
Still, it's rough on Friday night
when there's time for thinking.
I spend it drinking up my failure.
But I hold on to my dreams, anyway,
I'll never let them die.
They keep me going through the bad times
while I dream of the good times coming by.
