Glen Campbell Pencils For Sale
The first time I saw him was on 5th and main said his
thirst was for wine and he sure could use some change
He said wine can't replace a good woman's love but one
thing it does son, when she's gone, it eases the pain
He spoke of a love he had ten years ago, he said you
know, I still love her today
And as he walked to the corner, this is what I heard
him said:
Pencils for sale, rings made from nails, I'm sure I got
something for you
Hollywood maps for tourists that are only passing
through
Pencils for sale, rings made from nails, look them
over, take your time
'Cos right now my thirst has never been worse and I
could sure use them nickels and dimes
He said he hung out at most of the bars to hide scars
folks cannot see
For son, the wounds that are the deepest, they're the
ones locked inside of me
A memory can cut through your soul like the cold blade
of a jagged knife
And the times I used to hold her they were the best
times of my life
But now it's pencils for sale, rings made from nails,
I'm sure I got something for you
Hollywood maps for tourists that are only passing
through
I've got pencils for sale, rings made from nails, look
them over, take your time
'Cos right now my thirst has never been worse and I
could sure use them nickels and dimes...
