An Article from Life - Lefty Frizzell[00:00:00]
Evening sun had just gone down[00:00:07]
On five acres of ground[00:00:10]
I'm in Georgia Georgia[00:00:14]
When the back door opened silently[00:00:17]
She had made some tea and said here[00:00:20]
This is for you[00:00:24]
Then a man selling magazines[00:00:27]
Stopped and began talking with my wife[00:00:30]
And before he left there well[00:00:37]
That man had sold her[00:00:41]
Twelve months subscriptions to life[00:00:43]
And on page twenty-five[00:00:49]
It said all New York[00:00:52]
Was alive really swinging[00:00:54]
And page 29[00:00:59]
It showed a picture of parties and wine[00:01:02]
With people singing[00:01:08]
Well it wasn't long until I saved[00:01:12]
A thousand dollar bill from the harvest[00:01:15]
And I had planned to buy more land[00:01:22]
But baby hit me[00:01:25]
Where it hurts the hardest[00:01:27]
She said I'd like to see New York[00:01:31]
What could I say except to[00:01:34]
Say that's fine[00:01:37]
And while she was packing[00:01:41]
My mind wandered back and[00:01:44]
That article from life ran through my mind[00:01:48]
Oh New York was still alive at 2 am[00:01:54]
When we arrived Sunday morning morning[00:01:58]
She said we'd only stay a week[00:02:04]
'Cause in seven months our first child[00:02:07]
Would be born[00:02:10]
She knew it meant the world to me[00:02:14]
Still the parties and the wild life[00:02:16]
Changed her mind[00:02:19]
She begged to be set free[00:02:23]
I said it just can't be[00:02:26]
In anger I took my darlings life[00:02:30]
Read about the harvest crime[00:02:37]
Turn to page 29[00:02:40]
I'm featured in an article from life[00:02:43]
