lyrics

I took a walk
Outta town
Took my guitar
And I made a sound
Well all the people came a runnin’
From near and far
Listened to the poet
With a whiskey soaked guitar

Fell to the ground on their knees
Above us was a clear blue sky
Whispered on a warm summer breeze
This is not the day that I die
No, this is not the day I die
So I played some more
Old guitar

Along the road
I met a man
Ticket for Memphis
Was in his hand
He said ‘Son let me tell you
What I know.
You can dance with the devil
But you’ll never steal the show.’

Fell to the ground on my knees
Above us was a clear blue sky
Whispers on a warm summer breeze
This is not the day that I die
No, this is not the day I die
So I played some more
Whiskey soaked guitar
And I danced with the devil
In a honky-tonk bar

Well he could dance
Yeah he could play
Said he may be coming back here someday
Looked to the doorway
But he was gone
Finished off the bottle
I thought my time had come

Fell to the ground on my knees
I could see a star-lit night
Whispers on warm summer breeze
This is not the day that I die
No, this is not the day I die
So I took a walk
Outta town
Took my guitar
And I made a sound
