America Bleeds/Roy Acuff Goodbye Poem by Paul Henry Dallaire

Last night when I scrambled home neath the moonlight
down the hall thru the walls a new born baby cried
The sirens outside make me wish to be sober
for I feel a new song buildin deep in my heart

Marilyn Monroe moon shines bright thru my window
I turn off the T.V. and I turn out the light
She knows my love has gone to another
cry me a river you cool summer rain

Chorus:
Sing me a song of my beautiful brown eyes
the one that I lost to the Tennessee waltz
AMERICA BLEEDS for that chuck wagon Cowboy
pickin his guitar for his blue Kentucky girl
pickin his guitar for his blue Kentucky girl

Dinosaur people sang the real stuff
karaoke Cowboy got a notch on his gun
On the wings of the great speckled Bird he did fly
I got the freight train blues Roy Acuff goodbye
I got the freight train blues Roy Acuff goodbye

So by the light of the moon this song I did write
cause I've been ridin shotgun since the year of fifty five
Outside lookin in is the story of my life
Kentucky rye whiskey makes it all feel allright
Kentucky rye whiskey makes it all feel allright
