Hurricane Party - James Mcmurtry[00:00:00]
The hurricane party's windin' down[00:00:17]
And we're all waitin' for the end[00:00:20]
And I don't want another drink[00:00:26]
I only want that last one again[00:00:28]
He gave me such a fine glow smokin' slow[00:00:34]
Now I should probably be homeward bound[00:00:38]
There's just no one to talk to[00:00:42]
When the lines go down[00:00:46]
I guess that in the morning I'll go[00:00:56]
Lookin' for my gray striped cat[00:00:58]
My old house can take the weather[00:01:04]
So I'm not too concerned about that[00:01:07]
It was built to take the wind[00:01:13]
Back in nineteen and ten[00:01:15]
When this was one damned fine town[00:01:17]
But now there's no one to talk to[00:01:21]
When the lines go down[00:01:25]
Candles flickered on the back bar[00:01:30]
And the building was shakin' with the wind[00:01:32]
I bought a whiskey for the gypsy[00:01:38]
And she turned my leather back into skin[00:01:41]
Just a fleeting sense of that rare suspense[00:01:47]
I once thought made the world go round[00:01:51]
But now there's no one to talk to[00:01:55]
When the lines go down[00:01:59]
Open up your back screen door[00:02:05]
Let me see your face once more[00:02:09]
My hands are cold and my feet so sore[00:02:12]
And I can't go on this way[00:02:17]
And the thoughts come too fast[00:02:22]
And too many to keep count[00:02:24]
Best just to let them on through[00:02:26]
Now I'm breaking those glass[00:02:31]
Insulators with my old 22[00:02:34]
Off the telephone polls as a half dollar rolls[00:02:40]
Across the knuckles of a rodeo clown[00:02:44]
There's just no one to talk to[00:02:48]
When the lines go down[00:02:52]
My one great love[00:03:02]
My God I can feel her still[00:03:04]
She ran off to California and now she's living[00:03:10]
In those Hollywood hills[00:03:13]
With some bullfrog prince[00:03:18]
I've not seen her since[00:03:20]
Though she calls when he's out of town[00:03:22]
And there's no one to talk to[00:03:27]
When the lines go down[00:03:30]
Open up your back screen door[00:03:36]
Let me in your space once more[00:03:40]
I was looking for an easy score[00:03:44]
But it just don't work that way[00:03:48]
Some insurance man biker[00:03:54]
Is yellin' out for one more beer[00:03:56]
But a part time pirate just can't get[00:04:03]
Much respect around here[00:04:06]
We got our problems too[00:04:11]
Man we'll get to you[00:04:13]
In just a minute sit your drunk a** down[00:04:15]
Yeah there's no one to talk to[00:04:19]
When the lines go down[00:04:23]
Now there's water up[00:04:55]
Past the wheel wells of my Ford[00:04:56]
And I don't guess that it'll run[00:04:58]
But I left a pack of Winston's on the dash[00:05:04]
Could you fetch them for me son[00:05:07]
The morning's first cigarette[00:05:16]
That's as good as it gets[00:05:18]
All day I should know by now[00:05:20]
But there's no one to talk to[00:05:24]
When the lines go down[00:05:28]
