[00:00.00]Let Him Roll - Guy Clark
[00:25.51]Well he was wino tried and true
[00:28.25]Done about everything there is to do
[00:30.87]He worked on freighters an' he'd worked in bars
[00:33.81]He worked on farms an' he'd worked on cars
[00:37.80]It was white port that put that look in his eye
[00:41.04]Grown men get when they need to cry
[00:43.85]We sat down on the curb to rest
[00:46.60]And his head just fell down on his chest
[00:50.78]He says:"Every single day it gets
[00:53.65]"Just a little bit harder to handle and yet"
[00:58.52]Then he lost the thread and his mind got cluttered
[01:01.39]And the words just rolled off down the gutter
[01:05.75]Well he was elevator man in a cheap hotel
[01:08.56]In exchange for the rent on a one room cell
[01:11.62]An' he's old: years beyond his time
[01:14.55]No thanks to the world and the white port wine
[01:19.05]So he said:"Son" He always called me son
[01:21.73]Said:"Life for you has just begun"
[01:24.85]An' then he told me the story I'd heard before
[01:27.59]How he fell in love with a Dallas whore
[01:31.96]Now he could cut through the years to the very night
[01:34.71]When it ended in a whore house fight
[01:38.02]And she turned his last proposal down
[01:41.20]In favor of being a girl about town
[01:44.56]Now it's been seventeen years right in line
[01:47.99]He ain't been straight in none of the time
[01:51.24]It's too many days of fightin' the weather
[01:53.86]An' too many nights of not being together
[01:59.54]So he died
[02:14.33]Instrumental break
[02:22.53]An' when they went through his personal effects
[02:25.16]In among the stubs from the welfare checks
[02:27.84]Was a crumblin' picture of a girl in a door
[02:31.21]An' an address in Dallas and nothin' more
[02:35.20]An' the welfare people provided the priest
[02:38.26]A couple from the mission down the street
[02:40.63]Sang"Amazing Grace" and no one cried
[02:43.50]'Cept some lady in black way off to the side
[02:48.31]We all left and she's standing there
[02:50.86]A black veil covering her silver hair
[02:53.80]Ol' One-Eyed John said her name was Alice
[02:57.60]An' she used to be a whore in Dallas
[03:00.60]So let him roar Lord let him roll
[03:07.49]I bet he's gone to Dallas rest his soul
[03:12.35]Just you let him roll Lord let him roar
[03:19.16]He always said that heaven
[03:22.21]Was just a Dallas whore
[03:24.52]Just you let him roar Lord let him roll
[03:31.01]I bet he's gone to Dallas rest his soul
