Let Him Roll - Guy Clark[00:00:00]

Well he was wino tried and true [00:00:25]

Done about everything there is to do [00:00:28]

He worked on freighters an' he'd worked in bars [00:00:30]

He worked on farms an' he'd worked on cars [00:00:33]

It was white port that put that look in his eye [00:00:37]

Grown men get when they need to cry [00:00:41]

We sat down on the curb to rest [00:00:43]

And his head just fell down on his chest [00:00:46]

He says: "Every single day it gets [00:00:50]

"Just a little bit harder to handle and yet "[00:00:53]

Then he lost the thread and his mind got cluttered [00:00:58]

And the words just rolled off down the gutter [00:01:01]

Well he was elevator man in a cheap hotel [00:01:05]

In exchange for the rent on a one room cell [00:01:08]

An' he's old: years beyond his time [00:01:11]

No thanks to the world and the white port wine [00:01:14]

So he said: "Son " He always called me son [00:01:19]

Said: "Life for you has just begun "[00:01:21]

An' then he told me the story I'd heard before[00:01:24]

How he fell in love with a Dallas whore [00:01:27]

Now he could cut through the years to the very night [00:01:31]

When it ended in a whore house fight [00:01:34]

And she turned his last proposal down [00:01:38]

In favor of being a girl about town [00:01:41]

Now it's been seventeen years right in line [00:01:44]

He ain't been straight in none of the time [00:01:47]

It's too many days of fightin' the weather [00:01:51]

An' too many nights of not being together [00:01:53]

So he died [00:01:59]

Instrumental break [00:02:14]

An' when they went through his personal effects [00:02:22]

In among the stubs from the welfare checks [00:02:25]

Was a crumblin' picture of a girl in a door [00:02:27]

An' an address in Dallas and nothin' more [00:02:31]

An' the welfare people provided the priest [00:02:35]

A couple from the mission down the street [00:02:38]

Sang "Amazing Grace" and no one cried [00:02:40]

'Cept some lady in black way off to the side [00:02:43]

We all left and she's standing there [00:02:48]

A black veil covering her silver hair [00:02:50]

Ol' One-Eyed John said her name was Alice [00:02:53]

An' she used to be a whore in Dallas [00:02:57]

So let him roar Lord let him roll [00:03:00]

I bet he's gone to Dallas rest his soul [00:03:07]

Just you let him roll Lord let him roar[00:03:12]

He always said that heaven[00:03:19]

Was just a Dallas whore [00:03:22]

Just you let him roar Lord let him roll [00:03:24]

I bet he's gone to Dallas rest his soul[00:03:31]
