SONG FOR SAM (Copyrighted)

An old friend of mine I stopped to see one morning
He was ?bout to lose his children and his wife
Said he?d just bout? gone through all the family?s money
He had lost his job and knew he?d lose his life

I said Sam you?ve been a good man before your problem
You?ve got friends in every town inside the state
And your wife Sarah?s been your backbone and your true love
Can?t you see your drinkin? turned her love to hate

{Bridge}
Then the tears came streaming down
He put his arms around the trembling woman
I heard him say

Girl I?ve tired to keep my head above the water
And I?ve tried to be a better man you see
But this old bottle?s turned your man into a devil
And I know until I?m dead I?ll find no peace

CHORUS
So if you find a better life go on and take it girl
Don?t you waste your time struggling here with me
What we had was good and I still love you truly babe
Now go on girl there?s no good left in me

Then I watched him board a train and head for Texas
He said that was one place he had to go
He?d never drank no whiskey down in Houston
And he?d never been inside the Alamo

Now old Sam is not around
And when the wind is right I hear him crying
I hear him say?

[Chorus]

[Chorus]

Now get on girl there?s no good left in me ?
Yeah, Get on girl there?s no good left in me
Get on girl, there?s no good left in me

So if you find a better life go on and take it girl
Go on and take it girl
Don?t you waste your time struggling here with me
No need to waste your time
What we had was good and I still love you truly babe
Still love you truly babe
Now go on girl there?s no good left in me
There?s nothing left here baby
So if you find a better life go on and take it girl
Go on and take it girl
Don?t you waste your time struggling here with me
No need to waste your time
