The Ballad of Jamie Bee - John Gorka[00:00:00]

Jamie ran aground out in Ohio[00:00:14]

Wife left for the great unknown[00:00:21]

He says he's gonna take to the high road[00:00:28]

She will find a place alone[00:00:35]

He says he just could not make her happy[00:00:42]

That he never tried so hard before[00:00:49]

He'd wake up first and make the coffee[00:00:56]

Now the mornings were like war[00:01:03]

There's a barroom for every way the wind blows[00:01:08]

And a harness for every mother's son[00:01:15]

You pull your own weight or else it pulls you[00:01:22]

It gets harder the longer that you run[00:01:28]

Jamie's from the last great breed of roadmen[00:01:36]

Woody Jack and Kerouac and such[00:01:43]

But here was a woman he would die for[00:01:50]

Beauty no road could ever touch[00:01:57]

The town was nearly famous for the glassworks[00:02:04]

The factory where they made hoods for the klan[00:02:11]

There's a football hall of famer in the phonebook[00:02:17]

There's only trouble for an empty man[00:02:25]

There's a barroom for every way the wind blows[00:02:31]

And temptation in every substance known[00:02:37]

You pull your own weight or else it pulls you[00:02:45]

It gets harder the older that you've grown[00:02:51]

At home in the harley-ridden poolhalls[00:03:11]

I guess it's best they never had those kids[00:03:18]

Closer to the outlaws then the in-laws[00:03:25]

They said Jamie's heart don't break but I know it did[00:03:31]

They said Jamie's heart don't break but I know it did[00:03:37]

He will find some refuge in his music[00:03:45]

And a long shot that they will reconcile[00:03:52]

The meantime is a mean time and he knows it[00:03:58]

Til the day he's back upon the pile[00:04:06]

Now there's headlights heading from Ohio[00:04:12]

And there's teardrops saltier than rain[00:04:19]

There's taillights to tell a tale still tender[00:04:26]

And a cold wind blowing through the night[00:04:32]

There's a cold wind blowing through the night[00:04:39]
