Ray Wylie Hubbard - The Beauty Way lyrics
[Ray Wylie Hubbard - The Beauty Way lyrics]
My daddy made a pretty damn good livin’
Playin' music on The Beauty Way
He's gonna die with some money in his pocket
Wish I could do the same today
Little darlin'
Wish I could do the same today
Wide-eyed kid and a little transistor
Tuned into Wolfman Jack
I picked up a guitar
Heard the sirens whisper
And I never looked back, little darlin'
And I never looked back
I worked the clubs along
The Sangre de Christos
Polished a diamond in the rough
By the time I hit LA
I was hotter than a pistol
But you're never hot enough, little darlin'
You're never really hot enough
I felt the lights on the big, big stages
A fire burnin' in my soul
I had those nights where my guitar was ragin'
But it's not something you control
Little darlin'
It's not something you control
Redtail divin' for a rat on Sunset
Coyotes pickin' through the trash
I wish I was lyin' like a cat in the sun
Instead of workin' like a dog for the cash
Little darlin' i'm only workin' for the cash
Sometimes I wish I could unplug this cord
And my soul or my money I could save
But every time I say
"I’m gonna quit The Beauty Way"
I feel my bones just turnin' in their grave
Little darlin' bones turnin' in their grave
Playin' music on The Beauty Way
He's gonna die with some money in his pocket
Wish I could do the same today
Little darlin'
Wish I could do the same today
Wide-eyed kid and a little transistor
Tuned into Wolfman Jack
I picked up a guitar
Heard the sirens whisper
And I never looked back, little darlin'
And I never looked back
I worked the clubs along
The Sangre de Christos
Polished a diamond in the rough
By the time I hit LA
I was hotter than a pistol
But you're never hot enough, little darlin'
You're never really hot enough
I felt the lights on the big, big stages
A fire burnin' in my soul
I had those nights where my guitar was ragin'
But it's not something you control
Little darlin'
It's not something you control
Redtail divin' for a rat on Sunset
Coyotes pickin' through the trash
I wish I was lyin' like a cat in the sun
Instead of workin' like a dog for the cash
Little darlin' i'm only workin' for the cash
Sometimes I wish I could unplug this cord
And my soul or my money I could save
But every time I say
"I’m gonna quit The Beauty Way"
I feel my bones just turnin' in their grave
Little darlin' bones turnin' in their grave
