One Kind Word

I know a man, never says a word
But he strums his old Gibson, sings like a bird
The dreams in his head, they're almost gone
The times keep changin' as the years wear on
And it don't take much to wag my tail
Give me hard-boiled eggs, a little beer in a pail
You've got to work pretty hard to drive me away
But one kind word and I will stay
So I ride in my car, travel all around
Get up on the stage, here in your town
I used to chase all the women and I guess I still do
But love is best when it's tender and true
And it don't take much to wag my tail
Give me hard-boiled eggs, a little beer in a pail
You've got to work pretty hard to drive me away
But one kind word and I will stay
Now I'm up all night and I sleep all day
People ask me how I live that way
Well I don't call it livin', I call it just gettin' by
If I had the ambition I'd be a hell of a guy
And I'm about half-crazy, at the end of my chain
Nobody knows how I stand the strain
If you treat me hard I might turn mean
I'm at my best when the times get lean
And it don't take much to wag my tail
Give me hard-boiled eggs, a little beer in a pail
You've got to work pretty hard to drive me away
But one kind word and I will stay
