I worked the rigs from three 'til midnight. On the Corpus Christi Bay. I'd get off and drink 'til daylight. Sleep the mornin' away. I had a plan to take my wages.
A little out of place. A little out of tune. Sorta lost in space. Racing the moon. Climbing the walls. Of this hurricane. Still overall. I can't complain.
I was all right for a while I could smile for a while. But I saw you last night you held my hand. So tight as you stopped to say hello. You wished me well you couldn't tell that I'd been.
The dawn of springtime gave birth to a new love. For you and me but it was born too late. For we both had been placed in the arms of others. Cheated by the cold hands of fate.
You say you love me and its inviting, to go where life is more exciting. But I was raised on country sunshine. I was raised on country sunshine, green grass beneath my feet.
I won't say he won't ever stumble. But I'm clinging to my baby's hand. I won't say he won't bring me trouble. But I won't say I won't understand. . I won't say he'll love me forever.
A bright array of city lights as far as I can see. The great white way shines through the night for lonely girls like me. The cabarets and honky tonks their flashing signs invite.
When I was just a young girl my mama told me hon. What country's where you've been to what country's where you're from. Now I don't wanna hurt you honey can't you see.
In the chilly hours and minutes of uncertainty. I want to be in the warm hold of your lovin' mind. Feel you all around me and to take your hand along the sand.
The cattle are prowlin' and the coyotes are howlin'. Way out where the doggies bawl. Where spurs are jinglin', my cowboy is singin'. His lonesome cattle call.
Cancel tomorrow, I need no more time. I've wasted our words, running you through my mind. You'll love me forever not counting today. So cancel tomorrow or it will just be in my way.
I let my heart fall into careless hands. Careless hands that broke my heart in two. You held my dreams like worthless strings of sand. Careless hands don't care when dreams secure.
Didn't I give you a reason. Why can't you believe it?. This just ain't me leaving for a while. Almost back to Dallas. Thousand miles sure was long enough to talk about us for one night..
Told you baby one more time. Don't make me sit all alone and cry. Well it's over - I know it - but I can't let go. . I'm like a fish out of water. A cat in a tree.
Maybe you can tell my why i'm prone to wander. i'm like a gypsy to the bone. every time i hear the rain amid the thunder. i want to run outside and shed my clothes.
You are a gardener. You cultivate my soul. You water thirsty vines. That snake along my spine. In case I forget to shiver. You are a carpenter. You build the scaffolding.
Cast me away. From yesterday's things. In deed and in my memory. Sweeten the taste. Of the past, of the past. And borrow just a little more time. For me.
One, two, three, four. . Changes come,. Turn my world around. Changed come,. Turn my world around. . I have my father's hand. I have my mother's tongue.
He woke. He knew that he was dying. He spoke. And found that he was flying. Upstairs. High above the city. Through the ceiling of the stars. So cruel and pretty.
Come on boys. . Well, I've worn my lame excuses out. Can't blame nobody else for how trouble always finds me. And my mama swears she raised me right. But even now she's up at night and she's worried all about me.
