This song was written by Butch Hancock. My interpretation is from the version on Joe Ely's live album, Live at Liberty Lunch.
To play his version on the album, Lord of the Highway, I *think* you need a capo at the first fret.
Anyway, enjoy....this is a really cool song
Row of Dominoes by Butch Hancock
Verse 1:
Carmen must have been the Devils daughter
At least he taught her how to wear her clothes
And the boys followed her to the slaughter
Where they fell like a row of dominoes
They fell like a row of dominoes
Verse 2: Don't let your past drive you under You know how a memory comes and goes Well the years rolled away just like thunder Where they fell like a row of dominoes They fell like a row of dominoes
Chorus:
Won't you tell me how you been
Something more than you've been feelin fine
I'm havin that feelin again
Theres a whole lot more to lay on the line
A whole lot more to lay on the line
Verse 3: Share and share alike you know I love you But I also love the way the wild wind blows So don't set your dreams up there above you Where they'll fall like a row of dominoes They'll fall like a row of dominoes
Verse 4: They say a fool never knows what he misses And a wise man never misses what he knows What can I say your ten thousand kisses Fell on me like a row of dominoes They fell like a row of dominoes
