lyrics

Darla

Darla you're so fun
'cause I know you like to run
with that whiskey from the bottle
and the early morning nights
you told me in Muskogee
you were happy being lonely
and that's all right
it's all right

we were leaving with the sun
but i was hoping you would come
to that dirty old cabin with those dirty old boys
because we always get trashed
when were in the house of cash
and it's all night
it's all night

Darla won't you stay here with me?
or is it only the whiskey you see?

well it was one little, two little, three little indians
well it was two little indians and me in a row
belly to the bar drinking whiskey from a jar
they won't see it if you keep it low

but then things got strange
i thought your mind had changed
and you were thinking about hitting the road
but i called it wrong and woke up at dawn
with you naked in a room alone

Darla won't you stay here with me?
or is it only the whiskey you see?

Darla you're so fun
'cause I know you like to run
with that whiskey from the bottle
and the early morning nights
you told me in Muskogee
you were happy being lonely
and that's all right
just not tonight
