Car Parts and Linens Songtext
von Goodnight, Texas

You sit and watch the pines sway, rainstorm a-comin′
Dreaming on the front porch watching the dogs come home
Heavy on your mind weigh the car parts and linens
You're thinking about the old days when they were young

Your teeth are coffee stained, you′ve got to admit
You're staying awake just a little bit
Your lips are chapped and dry, kissing your girl
She don't give a damn
As long as she′s kissing her man
Holding your hand in her hand
Doing the best she can


You say you want to live a long life, a long life of living
Rocking on the front porch ′til the dogs come home
You say you want to give her something you've never given

And now you′re waking up again to realize
That waking up again doesn't make you wise
Your teeth are coffee stained and you′re singing the blues
But she can hear your voice
Over the evening news
Sing anything you choose
You've only got time to lose

Your teeth are coffee stained, you′ve got to admit
You're staying awake just a little bit
Your lips are chapped and dry, kissing your girl
She don't give a damn
Long as she′s kissing her man
Holding her hand in your hand
