Sweet Melinda — текст песни (John Denver)

Pulled out of Denton, Texas
Two days and nights ago
I been livin` on pills and burgies
Till the whites of my eyes don`t show

The south-bound headlights are makin` me blind
And I`m too damn tired to blink
My toes are numb and my brain`s gone dumb
And I can just barely think

Doo doo doo, sweet Melinda, my wife

The lonesome moan of this eighteen wheeler
Cuts through me like a knife
Except for you, sweet Melinda, my wife
I been ridin` on empty most all of my life
Whooo

Two more hours till daylight
And it`s startin` to rain again
A sign up ahead says welcome to Paradise
Population Ten

Well, me and this truck and that old white line
Stumblin` on and on
Like three old drinkin` buddies
Comin` home at dawn

Singin` Ooh, sweet Melinda, my wife

The lonesome moan of this eighteen wheeler
Cuts through me like a knife
Except for you, sweet Melinda, my wife
I been ridin` on empty most all of my life
Whoo, whooo

`Cept for you, Sweet Melinda, my wife

The lonesome moan of this eighteen wheeler
Cuts through me like a knife
Except for you, Sweet Melinda, my wife
I been ridin` on empty most all of my life
Whoo, I been ridin` on empty most all of my life
