"Sparks"
By, Max Stalling
From the CD, Comfort in the Curves

Here is a song by a great Texas singer-songwriter, Max Stalling. 
The song is recorded mostly with acoustic guitar and harmonica; It's played 
with a slow shuffle beat. I'm not too sure how easy it would be to find the 
CD outside of the 
Dallas area, but if you could, it's well worth listining too.... 


[D] Well, there he sits huddled by his [Em7] fire
Dreaming his [G] dreams that he's dreamed  [D] before
Just watching those sparks drifting up to [Em7] heaven
And watching his [G] hopes drift away like [D] smoke
Just look at those sparks drifting up to [Em7] heaven
Seeking a [G] place among the [D] stars
Do you think sparks dream of [Em7] being stars
And if they [G] do, do they know they're [D] fools

[Em7] He drifted to town some years ago with the [D] first fall snow
[Em7] He spoke of the circuit and all the bulls that he’d [D] rode
But the [G] bulls had outdone him and all he'd wound up with 
Were [D] broke bones and handfuls of [Em7] dirt
And if you'd [G] had his dreams you'd know how that must have [D] hurt

[D] So just let him be a broke down old [Em7] cowboy
Just let him  [G] dream his worn out old [D] dreams
He's tall in his tales where he was  [Em7] quicker than most
And if you had [G] know him then you'd know he's not one to [D] boast

[Em7] Just look how he walks when he sees a [D] lady
[Em17] Straightens right up, tips a hat to those [D] near
[G] And look at the kids. ten steps behind him
Whispering [D] things they think he [Em7] can't hear
But if you could  [G] see his eyes you'd know he damned well  [D] hears

[D] So just let him be a broke down old [Em7] cowboy
Just let him [G] dream his worn out old [D] dreams
He's long in the tooth; [Em7] he's bent frail and fragile
But if you had [G] know him then you'd know he might speak the [D] truth

[Em7] We’ve all have our dreams that we carry [D] around
[Em7] Some dreams go with us right into the [D] ground
[G] Sparks turns to ashes; cowboys meet their matches
And the [D] quickest they don't [Em7] always win
But [G] dreaming's your first step and one steps where journeys [D] begin

[D] So just let us be broke down old [Em7] cowboys
Just let us [G] dream our worn out old [D] dreams
We're tall in our tales [Em7] where we were so damned much quicker than most
And if you had [G] know us then you'd know we're not the type of people who
[A7] boast… [D]

There you have it, friends. Hope ya'll enjoy!
