lyrics

THE SUN WAS HIGH UP IN THE SKY WHEN HE CAUGHT MY EYE
WITH HIS OLD SOFT SHOE ROUTINE
GRAY HAIR TASSELLED BY THE BREEZE AND A VOICE CALLED TO ME
COME AND JOIN ME IF YOU PLEASE
I JOINED IN IN PERFECT HARMONY TIGHT AS LOVERS CLUTCHING HANDS
HE SAID LET’S HIT THE ROAD AND BE A TEAM
GET US SOME SONGS AND PLAY ALL THE BIG TOWNS IN THE LAND
JESSE TALKED OF BETTER DAYS WHEN THE PEOPLE HE MET
HAD A SMILE UPON THEIR FACE NICER CLOTHS AND BIGGER PAY
WHEN THE SONGS MADE YOU FEED LIKE AN OLD HOMETOWN PARADE
NOW A TROOPER JUST CAN’T FIND A JOB A SINGER MAY AS WELL RETIRE
BUT STILL THAT SPARK WAS BURNIN’ IN HIS HEART
WE GREW SO CLOSE JESSE SET MY SOUL ON FIRE
WELL I HOPE THAT I WILL NEVER FIND A MAN NEAR AS KIND
WHO STILL THINKS THAT MEN ARE GOOD
WELL HE WOULD DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY WITHOUT A NICKEL OF PAY
NO ONE EVER UNDERSTOOD
NOW A TROOPER JUST CAN’T FIND A JOB A SINGER MAY AS WELL RETIRE
THE ONLY THING THAT KEPT HIM DANCIN’ ON
WAS THAT HE NEVER LOST THAT THING THEY CALL DESIRE
WELL I’M SURE THAT I WILL NEVER FIND A MAN NEAR AS KIND
WHO STILL THINKS THAT MEN ARE GOOD
YOU KNOW HE WOULD DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY
WITHOUT A NICKEL OF PAY NO ONE EVER UNDERSTOOD
