Blitzen Trapper

Fletcher

Oh mama, I've been talkin' to those western stars

They give me comfort at night, right lyin' in the back of the car

An I can see your face in the place that I go when I'm there

Me an Jimmy an the boys runnin' dark up in the mountain air, yeah

Got a couple more runs till the sun's comin' up in the east

Ole Fletcher's in the car drinkin' whiskey from a jar through his teeth

Jimmy ain't back but his tracks lead up into the trees

I guess there ain't nothing for it but to drive on up and see what we see, yeah, uh huh

Dontcha let ole Fletcher take the wheel tonight

His heart's grown cold

An this old dirt road runs rough and ragged to a terrible height

So dontcha let ole Fletcher take the wheel tonight

There ain't much to live for

But there's this woman and she's got me feeling pretty alright

Lovin', oh Lord, can make me change my ways

So won't you let me live another day

Guess I'd like to live another day

Ole Fletcher's been drinkin' with a pistol and is itchin' to play

Sayin' "'Man, I had this woman, she was livin' at the mouth of the bay,

But she found me out and now she sees a man who wears a suit

I seen him walkin' his dog down by the company in brand new boots, yeah, uh huh"
