Barroom Stranger

I just hit town on my way home
Thirteen long days I'd been gone
Driving day and night and I
Was feeling kinda rough
Oh, I pulled into a late night lounge I
Got a cold beer and sat down
I heard some barroom stranger talking
About his latest love
Well, he was standing tall and proud
Drinking hard and talkin' loud
The has beens and the hope toos
All turned an ear his way
Said she really made his night worthwhile
The barroom stranger said and smiled
A chill ran through me when
I heard that stranger say

She stands five foot six
She knows a lot of tricks
She's married to some truck driving man
Long black hair and laughin' eyes
Skin as soft as paradise
And she knows what to do
To please a traveling man

My mind went blind with anger when
I heard the barroom stranger
Talking about my baby and the
Wild games that they played
I guess I lost all reason when I
Heard the way she pleased him
I stumbled out the door as once
Again I heard him say

Six long years have come and gone
And now I'm lyin' here alone
Starin' through these prison bars but
I don't give a damn
All that I remember is one
Cold night in December
They said they found me walking with
A pistol in my hand

She stood five foot six ah she
Knew a lot of tricks
She was married to some truck drivin' man
She had long black hair and laughin'
Eyes skin as soft as paradise
But now she'll never get to
Please another travelin' man

And the moral of the story is
If you drive don't think
