Yeah, I remember it now, we were kids back then livin' down on the farm. We were told that the city could only bring us harm. "How far is the city?" somebody said, and "oh, that's a great big town.".
My little girl and I lost Mama just three years ago. And now that she is older there are things she wants to know. She said, "Please Daddy tell me 'bout my mother 'cause I miss her.".
One time I spent a week inside a little country jail. And I don't guess I'll ever live it down. I was sittin' at a red light when these two men came and got me.
In a town about the size of a truck-stop or bigger. Lived Linda Bohannon, a natural queen. She lived with her folks in a little white farmhouse. She helped out by hoeing the corn and the beans.
I can tell your heart's been broken in two. You are looking for a shoulder. I've found out that other people's tears. Just seem to make me older. I'd like to help with your broken heart.
I'm sittin' here lookin' at some mighty hard times money ain't growing on trees. A little while ago I was rollin' in dough singin' all you want when you please.
There was a man came to see the USA from a foreign land. To photograph the progress of dear old Uncle Sam. He got off the boat in New York went down to the Bowery.
And I love you so the people ask me how. How I've lived till now I tell them I don't know. I guess they understand how lonely life has been. But life began again the day you took my hand.
Loving you was just a storybook of fair I've decided there ain't no real life anywhere. Soon I'll be a painted picture in the book of your mind. Another town is somewhere down the line.
Just Follow the Stairway.. To this lonely world of mine. You'll find me waiting here. In apartment number nine. . Not so very long ago... You walked away from me.
I can see an angel walking. Someone else is by his side. I can hear an angel talking. And he looks so satisfied. I can see an angel smiling. By his side I'll never be.
Anytime you're feeling lonely,. Anytime you're feeling blue,. Anytime you feel down-hearted,. That will prove your love for me is true!. . Anytime you're thinking bout me,.
I'll be loving you, always. With a love that's true, always. When the things you plan. Need a helping hand. I will understand, always, always. . Days may not be fair, always.
Row Row Row. Row Row Row. I use to have big money. That was many moons ago. You use to call me honey. Now you call me so and so. 'Cause there ain't no wheels on this ship.
I must make up my mind today. What to have, what to hold. A poor man's roses. Or a rich man's gold. . One's as wealthy as a king in a palace. Tho' he's callous and cold.
Though you try you can't conceal it. Love has only brought us storms. I can see your eyes revealin'. Your a stranger in my arms. . Say goodbye to our romancing.
I must make up my mind today. What to have, what to hold. A poor man's roses. Or a rich man's gold. . One's as wealthy as a king in a palace. Tho' he's callous and cold.
The first scene was the church, then the altar. Where we claimed each other, with tears of joy we cried. Our friends wished us luck there forever. As we walked from the church, side by side.
I was watching your mouth move in and out. In little unexpected ways. Not hearing a word that you said in over twenty minutes. On occasion I grunt and give you a knowing stare.
I didn't get that much sleep last night. Starring at the window and the cold moonlight. Tossing and a turning on the antique bed. The sugar tube and Thomas making in my head.
