(one, two, three)



I'm always good for a jump or a joke



I take it easy even when I take a toke



but there's a memory and a story never wrote



and every time it's told, I get a lump in my throat



 



I know it's crazy, but I swear it ain't a lie



it happened early in the pale morning light



a pretty girl in a foreign car drove in and winked her eye



and what she said right there and then - I'll hear until I die



 



She said all I need is a dollar's worth of regular



all I want is an hour's worth of love



but don't worry darlin', you can fill me up this evening



late in the evening when the stars are high above



 



Now some old boys are made of stone and some are made of steel



and some can live on luck alone and never miss a meal



and some are sellin' bargain love, but all they do is steal



but what the hell, who gives a damn - a deal is just a deal



 



Now I'm a country boy with a simple country mind



I'm workin' in the station every day from nine 'til nine



but if somebody tells me that my life ain't too sublime



I just tell 'em what she said - and then they know I'm doin' fine



 



She said all I need is a dollar's worth of regular



all I want is an hour's worth of love



but don't worry darlin', you can fill me up this evening



late in the evening when the stars are high above



late in the evening when the stars are high above



 woo - wo - wo -woo
