One Room At Night

lyrics

One Room At Night

He earned a blue ribbon
Pinned it up inside
Down to dirt livin'
Workin' outside

Eighty years raisin'
Her children comin' first
Kinda unhandy
But no disgrace bein' poor

I heard 'em prayin' and cryin'
In the broad daylight
What can you say, What can you say
In one room at night

A mountain made o' backbones
And bottom land all mine
A deep well's good water
'til the end of time

I heard 'em prayin' and cryin'
In the broad daylight
What can you say, What can you say
In one room at night

The prize ain't the money
Sized up in your hand
Hold a clean mem'ry
Keep a good close friend

(Chorus)
(Chorus)

In one room at night
In one room at night
In one room at night
