stooka Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 BEFORE THEY MAKE ME RUN (M. Jagger/K. Richards) Worked in bars and sideshows along the twilight zone Only a crowd can make you feel so alone And it really hit home Booze and pills and powders, you can choose your medicine Well it's another goodbye to another good friend After all is said and done Gotta move while it's still fun Let me walk before they make me run After all is said and done I gotta move, it's still fun I'm gonna walk before they make me run Watched the taillights fading, there ain't a dry eye in the house They're laughing and singing Started dancing and drinking as I left town Gonna find my way to heaven, `cause I did my time in hell I wasn't looking too good but I was feeling real well After all is said and done I gotta move I had my fun Let us walk before they make me run After all is said and done I did alright, I had my fun I will walk before they make me run Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Goodbye - Steve EarleI was thinking of this too as it's one of my all-time favorite tunes but it's really an emotional piece for a lover who's been burned by your actions. Not sure it'd make a good one for sending a friend away with. Either way, still a beautiful tune. How about "Happy trails," though? The original Dale Evans one is nice but I'd opt for the Quicksilver Messenger Service version myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
