Lyrics
Luke the Drifter
10/12/11 Ken Gaspar
Luke I've listened to all your songs and I've sung I few myself
And for a few minutes at a time I could see the world through your eyes
With a lonesome fiddle cryin and a weepin pedal steel
You seemed to understand our ups and down on life's Ferris wheel
I hope that you are drifting along
Playing your guitar and singing your songs
I hope some day that we can - sing again
Sing about cheatin hearts
Sing about whippoorwills
Sing about honky tonks
Sing about how love feels
Sing about lovesick blues
Sing about purple skies
Sing about being so Lonesome
I could cry
Many times I have wondered to myself Luke, what you were really like
What made you write those stories about the working man the forsaken and forgotten in this life
Every time I see the moon I think its gonna hide its face and- cry
The midnight trains were whinning low on that evening that you died
I hope that you are drifting along
Playing your guitar and singing your songs
I hope some day that we can - sing again
Sing about cheatin hearts
Sing about whippoorwills
Sing about honky tonks
Sing about how love feels
Sing about lovesick blues
Sing about purple skies
Sing about being so Lonesome
I could cry
