He's rugged rough and ready his lady's soft and pretty. There must be ten years difference in their ages I suppose. But you don't see any traces or sadness in the faces.
On a highway through the desert beneath an overpass. Sat two hikers just watchin' cars go by. Now one was wearin' sandles with straggly matted hair. Rose colored glasses for his eyes.
Been workin' like a dawg, slavin' on the fence line. Stretchin' those wires tight. Diggin' and tappin' and sweatin' in the sunshine. But I get off tonight.
She opened up the letter from Nashville Tennessee. He said hon they like my music the songs I wrote for you and me. The boys and me just cut a record and it could hit the charts before too long.

Well, I've never been afraid of much. And I never thought I need a crutch. To help me through the trials of this life. . But there's one thing I cant do without.
Well, she rolls her own cigarettes with the work of just on hand. She acts mean and she cusses, I know she wish she were a man. She got her teeth knocked out by a bucking horse.
{If you don't use this nasty stuff don't start. But if youre hopelessly addicted. I guess you gotta find something good to say about a bad habit. Well hey let's try.
There's a place where Mother Nature's got it all together. She knows just when to let wild flowers bloom. Somehow she always seems to know exactly what she's doin'.
Well its good to see you folks tonight I hope you got your hats on tight. And I hope you're ready to hear some cowboy songs. You can listen up or party down have a cup or stick around.

Well, the well went dry and the cow did too. Daddy didnt know what to do. The banker came by the house one day. He said hes gonna take the farm away. .
Hold tight with a leather fist. Watch out when he starts to twist. What their daddies used to tell them boys. How to ride them bulls. . I got a jingle in my jeans.
Wild as a coastal Barronca. Swift as the wind blowing free. With two eyes like fire brands that glow in the night. Somewhere up there he's waiting for me.

Got married at 16, had a 15 year old wife. Guess I've been a grown man, just about all my life. Like my daddy before me, I've done the best I could. Somehow things turned out a little worse than they should.
Cry, cry. You tell me stories that I wish were true.. But I know better than believe in you.. I keep on cryin', I keep on cryin'. You talk in circles and you laugh at sin..
Now, blue ain't the word for the way that I feel,. There's a storm brewin' in this heart of mine.. This ain't no crazy dream, I know that it's real.. You're someone else's love now, you're not mine!.
You see his gentle smiling face. Then you go, oh. And all the good and bad you've done. He will know, he will know. . People take their places, down at the courthouse.
Love is a flame. I just got burned again. You're always there. Each time I need a friend. . Cool love, cool love. I don't know why I didn't never see.
