Macon Hambone Blues - Wet Willie

Pile of postcards across the front yard All of 'em worried you didn't need the same It's gettin cold We're gettin older If I sound hurried, I ain't running away I'm only chasing The paper on the pavement, playing country tunes Bracing, bracing for the pain I don't see coming soon Tell me about your day while I lay on top of you Or sit across from you I'm hard to watch I know I lost my touch Cut my hair and then it never grew Took a Greyhound, then I was southbound Georgia on my mind right next to you Round New Jersey I was getting wordy I'll send a bird to sing "I love you, too" Wait a week some You know I'll see you, hon But I better get there before these papers do It's always raining Like the song we love that's double both our ages Changing like the seasons and their reasons not for staying long Like the wind, and the tide Baby you and I can meet in Macon Get to shakin Our records playin

Well, I've had a wonderful career But I think it's quite queer So I'm writing this down in a song I just couldn't resist 'Cause it's a nice little twist And I think you'll agree this is just wrong I ain't never got to sing one with Willie And I've held it inside long enough Now I ain't too proud, I'm gonna shout it out loud I ain't never got to sing one with Willie Now I've heard him with Merle, Waylon, and Cash Jones and Toby, that man is totally gracious But I'm thinking: damn, why not me?

Tienes que saber, es lo último que pido Que estoy desesperado, y según mis latidos No me queda mucho, tiempo a mi favor Y antes de perder, de vista mi camino Quiero mirarte un poco y soñar que el destino Es junto a ti mi amor Quédate un segundo aquí a hacerme compañía Y quédate tantito más, quiero sentirte mía (Abrázame, abrázame) (Abrázame, abrázame) Hoy me he dado cuenta, que no había sentido Tanto miedo antes, que yo no decido Que Dios hace mejor Y antes de perder, de vista mi camino Quiero mirarte un poco y soñar que el destino Es junto a ti mi amor Quédate un segundo aquí a hacerme compañía Quédate tantito más, quiero sentirte mía (Abrázame, abrázame) (Abrázame, abrázame) No hay una razón, para quedarme Yo no quiero tu compasión Quiero que estes conmigo Hasta que me haya ido (Abrázame) Antes que parta de este mundo frio (Abrázame) Quiero recordar, este amor tan profundo (Abrázame) No quiero morir, sin tenerte aquí a mi lado (Abrázame) Quedate un ratito, hasta el ultimo suspiro (Abrázame) Por favor yo te lo pido (Abrázame) Que quiero soñar, con el amor que nos dimos (Abrázame) Y quedate conmigo un tantito más (Abrázame) ¡Mmmmm! soñar contigo (Tienes que saber, es lo último que pido) Que estoy desesperado y según mis latidos (Abrázame) No quiero que olvides lo bonito que vivimos (Tienes que saber, es lo último que pido) Nena si escucho tu perdón (Abrázame) Sí, me voy tranquilo (Abrázame, abrázame) No me queda mucho ¡Mmmm! Tiempo a mí favor
