Captain T (Tom Hunnicutt): Music

Danny’s Last Wish
By Tom Hunnicutt

1st Verse

I’m standing by a highway - waiting for a ride.
The rain is softly falling, but my poncho keeps me dry.
I don’t know where I’m going, but a going I must.
Lord, I wish I had a bottle to help me pass the time.

Chorus

And I may go to Colorado – spend some time out in the snow.
Or truck on to California – I love that California coast.
Lord I don’t know why she left me, but her leaving broke my soul.
Lord, I wish I had a bottle or something good to smoke.

2nd Verse

If dreams where worth a dollar, I know just what I’d do.
I’d invest them in tomorrow, but I’d pray for something new.
‘Cause dreams ain’t worth a penny, once the memories been used.
Lord, I wish I had a bottle or something good to smoke.

3rd Verse

Then the weather started changing and the winter winds did blow.
They found him the next morning – he was dead there in the road.
And the words he was writing are the ones I sung for you.
How he wished he had a bottle or something good to smoke.

Ending Chorus

And I may go to Colorado – spend some time out in the snow.
Or truck on to California – I love that California coast.
Lord, I don’t know why she left me, but her leaving broke my soul.
Lord, I wish I had a bottle ‘cause it’s getting kind of cold.
