Just let her walk alone. On blindly through the rain. She likes to think she's turning wise. No one can tell her how. But she crashes every time she flies.
Country green, do you know what I mean?. She's true and pure like country green. . I feel her hand upon my shoulder. Waking me from a drawn out sleep.
(I'm climbing up the mountain I'm climbing up the mountain). Once I've traveled in the valley so low lonely and weary way I. Now I travel in the valley no more yeah I'll reach the other side by and by.
(I'm on my way I'm on my way). Well I'm on my way to Canaan's land I'm on my way to Canaan's land. I've done signed up made up my mind I'm on my way to Canaan's land.
You ran cryin' to the bedroom. I ran off to the bar. Another piece of heaven gone to hell. The words we spoke in anger. Just tore my world apart. And I sat there feelin' sorry for myself.
I was a mess when you first met me. I said I'd turn it around if you'd just let me. And I worked so hard cleaning up my act. Yeah, you got me hooked and then you threw me back.
Well, I've been staring at you all night long. Pretty as a picture. Sitting this close with the lights down low. Hits me right in the ticker. Nobody's pulling the plug on the juke box.
Off somewhere the music's playing soft and low.. And another holds the one that I love so.. I was blind I could not see. That you meant the world to me.
I may look like a city slicker,. Shinin' up through his shoes.. Underneath I'm just a cotton picker,. Pickin' out a mess of blues. . Show me where I start..
Daylight of dark. In rain or shine. It don't much matter. Down in the mine. Where the tunnel's deep. Lord, the air gets thin. That's the way of life. For the minin' man.
Looking back at a page in time. The year was 1859. We ran deep in the souther pines. 'Neath that Alabama Clay. . Charlie and Johnny were brothers in blood.
Oh, the days are dark and the nights are lonely. Since you left me all alone. I love you so, my little darlin'. I worry so, since you've been gone. . Sweetheart of mine, can't you hear me callin'?.
naked, alone, cold cobblestones they beat Him until the blood ran. they brought Him to die, on a cross, up on-high with spikes through His feet and His hands.
When I was a boy daddy was my guiding light. We'd take walks and talk about fishing girls and life. He'd help me with my homework cheer me up when I was down.
The moon is full and my heart is why. I love to dance oh me, oh my. Gonna have more fun than a tree in a coon. Tonight's the dance of the Cajun noon..
I tossed and turned and tried counting sheep. When will I ever learn how I'll ever sleep. Till you're by my side it's just a waste of time. Ain't no use tryin' to get you off my mind.
Candy kisses wrapped in paper. Mean more to you than any of mine. Candy kisses wrapped in paper. You'd rather have them any old time. . You don't mean it when you whisper.
A memory falls down from where it was. With this confession I beg for more. I never mean to, and it's been awhile. Since I found meaning in these desires.
We'll do it all. Everything. On our own. . We don't need. Anything. Or anyone. If I lay here. If I just lay here. Would you lie with me and just forget the world?.
I'll sweep out your chimney. Yes and, I will bring you flowers. Yes and, I will do for you. Most anything you want me to. . If we live in a cottage. You will feel like it's a castle.
