Sweet Dreams Page #7
I thought the whole
house was falling down.
I turned around, he'd shot
hisself in the head.
Sweet Jesus!
I sat on my bed for five days.
Wouldn't talk to nobody.
Wouldn't go to his funeral.
On the fifth day, I got up,
went out the door.
Just keep on movin'.
Know what I mean?
Just keep on movin'.
I can't seem to find anything in
my life to hold on to anymore.
It's like everything is
falling down around me.
I say to myself, " I don't have
to lead that trashy dog's life...
that my daddy led my mama.
I can make things different.
I can make it right."
And look at me. Here I am,
my face busted up.
Calling the cops in the
middle of the night.
And my kid saw it all!
Mama, I don't know
what to do anymore.
I don't know whether
to divorce him or not.
All I know is I can't
keep him outta the house
like this forever.
This is your baby.
You have to rock it.
Hell! I'm not asking for your
goddamn eyeteeth! I was asking
for your opinion.
You're talking to your
mama. You keep a civil
tongue in your head.
Yeah?
Oh, no, Randy, not a big show!
All right.
Christ on the cross!
I don't believe it.
I got recording sessions Friday.
Now I gotta do a benefit for that
disc jockey that died last month.
Tell him you're wore out.
If that's the worst thing
that ever happens to me.
You still like me?
Now and then.
You love me?
Sometimes.
Tell me what to do with my life.
I've got your picture
That you gave to me
And it's signed "With love"
Just like it used to be
Hey! Whoa! Charlie.
Where are you goin'?
I'm gonna talk to my
wife. Hold on a second.
What do you want, Charlie?
I want to talk to you.
It's all right.
Everybody, take five.
Kill Patsy's mike.
God, Charlie, don't.
I'm sorry.
I did wrong.
I will never raise a hand
to you again. I swear it.
I know you're thinkin'
of leavin' me.
I swear to God, I don't think
I could take it.
I don't know.
Can't we try and
make it right again?
If you want a definite
answer right this minute,
the answer is no.
I don't know if I can
live with you anymore.
Sweet dreams
Of you
Every night
I go through
Why can't I forget you
And start my life anew
Instead of having sweet dreams
About you
You don't love me
It's plain
I should know
I'll never wear your ring
I should hate you
Instead of having sweet dreams
About you
Sweet dreams
Of you
Things I know
Can't come true
Why can't I forget the past
Instead of having
Sweet dreams
About you
Thank you.
Tony, I gotta take a pee!
Pretty Boy Floyd!
Get this boy one.
He's been on bread and water.
Give me a drink.
I've been in the jail.
You drink any more, you'll wish
you was dead when you wake up.
Where was it you left
your ball and chain?
In my private room in
prison. Take a walk.
Charlie, finish this and
let's get outta here,
find us a couple of girlies.
That's one thing I do not
need. I got that already.
Can everybody hear me?
I got me a wife.
She is hard to handle and as
contrary as a hog on ice.
That ain't half of it.
You guys ain't got no
idea what it's like...
to be rubbing up against
something that dangerous.
That's what I like
about the South
Mama, hi!
We're still at the
airport. The weather bad?
Yeah. We've spent the
whole damn night here...
but the first spot of good
weather we'll take off.
How are my babies?
Just fine. Charlie came
by the house with two
quarts of ice cream.
He did? He said he
missed seeing them.
I knew he couldn't stay away.
He hadn't had a thing
to drink. Good as gold.
Hell, Charlie's always
good. Except when he isn't.
You just hurry home.
for me. Of course.
Let's go! Hot dog! This beats
the hell out of drivin'!
Let's get this show on the road.
Looks like we might be
in for a little fun.
A little turbulence.
Right tank's empty.
Switching over.
Oh, boy! What the
hell's goin' on?
What's the matter with this?
Gotta drop the nose. Hold on.
Kick it over.
Come on, baby. Come on!
Catch on!
Come on, baby.
It started. Oh, Lord, thank you!
Attaboy, Randy.
I almost peed my pants.
I did pee in mine.
My God!
You can't work and take
care of two babies.
Look at me.
I'll take the kids
with me for a while.
I'll be good to them.
I know it.
I know it.
