Ricky Warwick - The Crickets Stayed In Clovis Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's scissors cutting paper
And papers killing stones
Sometimes the smartest game to play
Is just to come back home
The crickets stayed in Clovis
Didn't get on board the plane
And that's the way the world spins 'round
Time and time again

[Chorus]
When you think that luck has left you
Taken up with your best friend
Check the weather over Madison
Take some time to think again
When you think that luck has left you
Taken up with your best friend
Don't go driving down in Dallas
No one knows how it might end

[Post-Chorus]
Well okay, alright

[Verse 2]
I watched a late night story
On a black and white TV
'Bout this kid they killed from Tupelo
He was all I'd planned to be
On the run from no one
'Cause no one's really there
Watching from the shadows
Pretending not to care
[Chorus]
When you think that luck has left you
Taken up with your best friend
Check the weather over Madison
Take some time to think again
When you think that luck has left you
Taken up with your best friend
Don't go driving down in Dallas
No one knows how it might end

[Bridge]
We were in a smoky picture hall
When the wreck came on the screen
Snowflakes danced like fireflies
The worst I'd ever seen
I wanted to ask Jesus why
But the words just wouldn't come
I tried to call Hank Williams up
But the devil got my tongue

[Chorus]
When you think that luck has left you
Taken up with your best friend
Check the weather over Madison
Take some time to think again
When you think that luck has left you
Taken up with your best friend
Don't go driving down in Dallas
No one knows how it might end
[Outro]
The crickets stayed in Clovis
The crickets stayed in Clovis
The crickets stayed in Clovis
All the crickets stayed in Clovis
