I first ran into Stoney. . . it was a bar downtown;[00:05:59]

Was Richmond, Virginia. . . we were bumming around,[00:05:59]

Suitcase to suitcase. . . we started him talking,[00:05:59]

Finding out about the things we＇ve shared in the miles we＇ve been.[00:05:59]

He had a gray pillowcase full of books by Durrell,[00:05:59]

And he had this old concertina, all beat up and she played like hell,[00:05:59]

Until you got him started singing those Gospel songs,[00:05:59]

Well, he drank all night for nothing, he told his stories till dawn.[00:05:59]

And he said, ＂Come on, get your bag, boy! Sun＇s up now and it＇s time to roll![00:05:59]

Hell, you know there ain＇t no better time than early in the morning[00:05:59]

To be out walking down that road![00:05:59]

Just feeling another day beginning while some fools just rushing on by,[00:05:59]

We＇ll be like some Mr. Independence: we＇re taking our own sweet time!＂[00:05:59]

We walked on out that highway under a clear blue sky,[00:05:59]

I＇s listening to the tales he told, drinking warm red wine.[00:05:59]

＇Bout the night he rolled seven; bout some girl he＇d done wrong;[00:05:59]

＇Bout everything he could think of while we walked along.[00:05:59]

Yeah, ol＇ Stoney had a magic; made him hard to forget.[00:05:59]

Like the night we flew down the highway (his old pickup, it nearly wrecked!)[00:05:59]

Was a crazy woman driving, all drunked up and carrying on;[00:05:59]

Till Stoney finally calmed her singing those Gospel songs.[00:05:59]

Well, we split the road at Norwood, and he just shook my hand.[00:05:59]

He said, ＂I＇ll see you some place, friend,＂ but you know he never has.[00:05:59]

But we were that free then, just walking down the road,[00:05:59]

Never really caring where that highway goes.[00:05:59]

Yeah, Stoney was a liar (a *ter!) ain＇t no doubt about it.[00:05:59]

It was just the way he told things, and you never want to doubt him.[00:05:59]

＇Cause he kept you going when the road got rough,[00:05:59]

And brought you through the lean times by making it up.[00:05:59]

＂Hey, did I ever tell you the time I married my cousin up in Las Vegas?＂[00:05:59]

Yeah, Stoney. Tell it again, will you?[00:05:59]
