She said she was leaving
So I went to follow
Blind love and I-55 got me here

"georgia hard" - robbie fulks

Cigarattes and whiskey calm my shaking hands. I just lost a lover to a one-night stand.

Headed down south to the land of the pines
And I'm thumbin' my way into North Caroline
Starin' up the road
Prayin' to God I see headlights

"Wagon Wheel" - a Bob Dylan unreleased track performed by Old Crow Medicine Show

Fingers walk the darkness down
Mind is on the midnight
Gather up the gold you've found
You fool, it's only moonlight.
If you try to take it home
Your hands will turn to butter
You better leave this dream alone
Try to find another.

Won't you scratch my itch sweet annie rich
And welcome me back to town
Come out on your porch or I'll step into your parlor
And I'll show you how it all went down

Come on RandyB1961, kind of obvious given your avatar. Gram Parsons - Return of the Grievous Angel.

My Daddy played poker on a stump in the woods back in his younger days
Prohibition was the talk, but the rich folks walked to the woods where my Daddy stayed
Jugs and jars from shiners, these old boys here, they ain't miners
They came from the twenty-niners
It didn't take a hole in the ground to put the bottom in their face

Going back a ways for this one. This song may be the most beautiful words ever put to music. Pure poetry:

I have seen the morning burning golden on the mountains in the skies.
Achin' with the feelin' of the freedom of an eagle when she flies.

Loving Her Was Easier by Kris Kristofferson. Covered by Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Perry Como (!)

I went down to Houston
And I stopped in San Antone
I passed up the station for the bus
I was trying to find me something
But I wasn't sure just what
Man I ended up with pockets full of dust
So I went on to Cleveland and I ended up insane
I bought a borrowed suit and learned to dance
I was spending money like the way it likes to rain

Switching it over to AM
Searching for a truer sound
Can't recall the call letters
Steel guitar and settle down
Catching an all-night station somewhere in Louisiana
It sounds like 1963, but for now it sounds like heaven

cool one! Jay Farrar - Windfall

I'm drinkin' some George Jones,
and a little bit of Coe
Haggard's easin' my misery
and Waylon's keepin' me from home
Hank's givin' me those high times -
Cash is gonna sing it low
I'm here gettin' wasted -
here with my country heroes

She left a lipstick letter on the mirror
shattered on the bathroom floor.
All I could put back together was
'...never see me no more.'

In nineteen and double-aught
A harlot who was hot to trot
Gave a fine little bijou to the world
With a blacksmith for a makeshift doc
In a cathouse far from Camelot
Her gold mine brought to bear a baby girl

Allison Moorer - Ruby Jewel Was Here

Love is a very funny thing
It catches the young and old
Like a plate of boarding-house hash
A many a man has sold
It makes you feel like a freshwater eel
It'll cause your head to swell
You'll lose your mind, for love is blind
It takes all your money as well

When Daddy told me what happened
I couldn't believe what he just said
Sonny shot himself with a .44
And they found him lyin' on his bed

I could not speak a single word
No tears streamed down my face
I just sat there on the living room couch
Starin' off into space
