[00:00.00]Shell Game - Jerry Jeff Walker
[00:13.74]How many times in the lonely night
[00:19.11]Someone you'd like to know passed you by
[00:24.90]With heartfelt words a chance to speak
[00:30.40]But two ladies down the street
[00:36.24]Cast off that shell
[00:42.01]Don't resist the unknown
[00:47.75]Your understandin' is open-handed
[00:53.33]Hold it closed and you're alone
[01:04.88]Shame ourselves with petty games
[01:10.36]Bill folds swells with tight remains
[01:16.10]To find a road that leads someplace
[01:21.82]When we fasten it everyday
[01:27.50]Cast off that shell
[01:33.23]Don't resist the unknown
[01:38.79]Your understandin' is open-handed
[01:44.65]Hold it closed and you're alone
[01:56.20]To stand naked for the sun
[02:01.76]Well that's the ends of everyone
[02:07.50]To be old is to be free
[02:13.09]To enclosed as a channel be
[02:18.81]Cast off that shell
[02:24.52]Don't resist the unknown
[02:29.99]Your understandin' is open-handed
[02:35.88]Hold it closed and you're alone
[02:47.46]So don't you wait until you're stranded
[02:52.98]Ask somebody to throw a hand in
[02:58.66]Just a ditty in 3/4 patterns
[03:04.30]Shackle games in high form matter
[03:10.01]Cast off that shell
[03:15.74]Don't resist the unknown
[03:21.21]Your understandin' is open-handed
[03:27.06]Hold it closed and you're alone
