Late last night I came home I was worn down by the mile I was half asleep So damn weak But I knew I had a hill to climb Good luck couldn't find me So I put on a winning smile I was stuck in the snow Halfway to Reno When I thought I heard an old sweet chime Out on a country porch I saw a Greta Garbo stare I didn't hear her speak But that elusive mystique Man it made me lose my mind Inside she waved me And she put a clover in my hair She kissed my cheek Then started to speak But then I heard a clock strike nine Some nights I ask myself why She loved that hour bell Like a lullaby Wind it and forget Never lost track of time yet Years and years of cheap talk And I still hear Her eight day clock She eyed the mantle And pointed to the granddaddy clock She had tears in her eyes So I thought it unwise To look into their sea blue sky I asked how she made it tick And she looked at me with shock Why it goes for eight days And on the hour it plays The sweetest song you've ever heard A melody that makes the angels cry Some nights I ask myself why She loved that hour bell Like a lullaby Wind it and forget Never lost track of time yet Years and years of cheap talk And I still hear Her eight day clock

Big Creek 09:03
I headed out before the sun gave chase Binnie said that they would case the place Take my word for it Know I'm good for it I won't tell you no lie We spread all over these plains of fate Asked around and damn near no one could relate Take my word for it Know I'm good for it I won't tell you no lie There was no place I could hide Crossing over Pete's divide I never needed that medicine But I sure'd like to see you all again Help me get back to big Help me get back to big creek One more time With the water at our feet When it's running fast and deep I settled down into another lull Death was close and the gin went straight to my skull Take my word for it Know I'm good for it I won't tell you no lie They shot Binnie first and then they tracked me down Shot me dead in my own hometown Take my word for it Know I'm good for it I won't tell you no lie There was no place I could hide Crossing over Pete's divide I never needed that medicine But I sure'd like to see you all again Help me get back to big Help me get back to big creek One more time With the water at our feet When it's running fast and deep Help me get back to big Help me get back to big creek One more time With the water at our feet When it's running fast and deep Help me get back to big Help me get back to big creek One more time With the water at our feet When it's running fast and deep
