Standing round crying is the best that I can do
I’m a joke without a punchline, a ship without a crew
Whatever in the world makes you think that you can act
With a maximum of vigor and a minimum of tact
It’s a rockabilly sunset
It’s the corner of the night
Sam Cooke is on the radio
With a voice as pure as light
Once upon a time we were islands in the stream
Now we only meet in the vacuum of a dream
I can’t face the world sober, I can’t get my truck in gear
I’ve lost the only thread that could get me out of here
It’s a rockabilly sunset…
Henry’s had a wreck, he’ll be laid up for a while
The truth has been redacted from every dog-eared file
I’m still punching cattle in the pay of Diamond Joe
My best days are behind me, I’m not sad to see them go
It’s a rockabilly sunset
It’s the corner of the night
Sam Cooke is on the radio
With a voice as pure as light
(2010)
