(Gram Parsons/Thomas O. Brown)
2
Won't you scratch my itch sweet Annie Rich
3
And welcome me back to town
4
Come out on your porch or I'll step into your parlour
5
And I'll tell you how it all went down
6
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
7
And a good saloon in every single town
8
And I remember something that you once told me
9
And I'll be damned if it did not come true
10
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
11
And they all led me straight back home to you
12
We flew straight across that river bridge,
13
Last night half past two
14
The switchman waved his lantern goodbye and good day as we
15
Went rolling through
16
Billboards and truckstops passed by the grievous angel
17
And now I know just what I have to do
18
Cause I headed West to grow up with the country
19
Across those prairies with those waves of grain
20
And I saw my devil, and I saw my deep blue sea
21
And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennessee
22
(Instrumental)
23
And the man on the radio won't leave me alone
24
He wants to take my money for something that I've never been shown
25
And I saw my devil, and I saw my deep blue sea
26
And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennessee
27
The news I could bring I met up with the king
28
On his head an amphetamine crown
29
He talked about unbuckling that old bible belt
30
And headed out for some desert town
31
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
32
And a good saloon in every single town
33
And I remember something that you once told me
34
And I'll be damned if it did not come true
35
Twenty thousand roads I went down down down
36
And they all lead me straight back home to you
37
Twenty thousand roads I went down down down
38
And they all led me straight back home to you
Gram Parsons, Emmylou Harris, & Linda R...
