10) My Good Little Lady - m.litton

I’m rollin’ down an eastern mountain highway
Can’t see the stars for all the clouds
From the forest I can hear the devil callin’ me
My past is comin’ down like a screamin’ owl
Tonight the deer are runnin’ free out in Kansas
And my good little lady, my sweet-time baby
She’s sleepin’ beneath the moon
I get a little tired of rollin’ with the double nickel
Roll on, roll ‘er up to the lucky seven
Now I pray but I still can’ quote the Bible
Yet I swear there’s a bear on every man’s road to heaven
I’ve been comin’ from the wrong side of winnin’
And my good little lady, my sweet-time baby
She’ll even up the score

Now I ain’t never been locked up in no prison
But I’ve spent a lot of years locked out in the cold
And every day ‘n every night has been a lesson
There ain’t no better place than your home to go
Cuz there’s a chorus of thieves that live along the highway
And my good little lady, my sweet-time baby
She’ll help to pull me through

I’m rollin’ down across the muddy Ohio
Clouds part to the gleam of the midnight gold
My headlights catch the eyes of a little coyote
He’s runnin’ down the ditches howin’ hungry for his home
And I’m dreamin’ of candle lights ‘n good whiskey
And my good little lady, my sweet-time baby
She’s sleepin’ beneath the moon
