Hayes Carll Lyrics
Richey Lee Lyrics
Richey Lee was his Father�s boy
Big, loud, Hard-drinkin� bundle of Joy
A walkin� laugh wrapped up in corduroy
Richey couldn�t do no wrong
Grew up with a fast runnin� crowd
Good bunch of boys, just a little too loud
Can�t fault a man for being proud
Richey kept rollin� on
Spent his days in a rock-n-roll band
Tellin� jokes, a guitar in his hand
Tryin� hard to meet every demand
Of all of those late-night shows
Whiskey-drunk on a Saturday night
She caught his eye comin� out of the light
Half way there he had to get in a fight
Back home that�s just the way it goes
Chorus
Strange days, they leave you in a wonder
And good times, they don�t always stay
And true love, it will shake you like thunder
But old friends just fade away
Old friends just fade away
Summertime on the river again
Fishin� poles and a two-dollar grin
Ain�t ever gonna laugh like that again
Fallin� right to the ground
Count the miles down to New Orleans
Borrowed cash and dirty bluejeans
Couple of boys lookin� for Cajun queens
Thinkin� they own the town
But we all left to find work out of town
Even the wild ones, they slow down
Richey felt like he was comin� unwound
Got tired of playin� the game
Liquor bottles pillin� up before noon
Richey said he just needed some room
We all saw the end comin� way too soon
And man that�s an awful shame
Repeat Chorus
