So I stepped up for the weighin' I knew the scales were wrong. Cause you know how them drugstore scales get stepped on all day long. A little fortune card came out it bears upon my mind.
I know that you've heard people say many, many times. You don't pass through this world. But once you'll get yours and I'll get mine. But I've got a philosophy I believe I'd rather go by.
Just 18, growing up on the wrong side of the law. Somewhere, someday knew hed have to rise above it all. Told his family hes gonna go fight for his land.
Don't understand why I don't love you. No one could ask for a heart more true. Sometimes I think I was born this blue. I should have known from the start.
Heaven's just a sin away. Oh, oh, just a sin away. I can't wait another day. I think I'm giving in. . How I long to hold you tight. Oh, oh be with you tonight.
Electricity roared but you looked so bored on the line. Nobody knows how it felt to see that cannonball melt in your mind. Calling all cars, one less dog behind bars, one less man in pain.
It's no good to lose heart, it's no good to lose sight. It's no good to have nowhere to go that feels right. You trust me on that one, you sure shouldn't try it.
Hey, I still got a honky-tonk heart. I still drink a beer or two, while leanin' on the bar. When I'm steppin' out with you. I'm a two-stepping fool. Hey, I still got a honky-tonk heart.

Well, you can call out the sheriff and the highway patrol. 'Cause there's a fool on the road careenin' out of control. Hard liquor, fast women, I just can't let him be.
My leading lady is gone. And it's so hard to go on. Without the part she played. My life's just an empty stage. . Though she's a hard act to follow. I thought I'd find somebody by now.
You touch my hand I understand. I nod my head and I know you've read what's on my mind. Mhmm I love you all the time. That's heart talk. A little smile you wink your eyes and all the while.
I got a few words. For all you women out there. If you've ever been in love. Or if you're ever gonna be. . There's nothing much sweeter. Than laying in the arms of your mortal man.
(Claire Lynch/Mark Fair). Tomorrow brings another town. We'll be on our way. We'll hit the road and have a song. Then there'll be nothing to say. For hours on end.
By the way you watch the sunset, I can tell. Soon you'll saddle up that ol' strawberry roan. Bid goodbye to the goodnight lovin' trail. And set off to blaze a new trail of your own.
I'm from West 'by God' Virginia. And the high Kentucky hills. I'm dirty but I'm honest. I pay a poor man's bills. I'm prosperity and poverty. I'm a scoundrel and a saint.

Intro. . You don't talk to me,. not the way that you used-to.. Maybe I don't listen. in a way that makes you think I-do.. I've been wonderin'. . 'bout what we're gonna.
Goin' down in the same old town. Down the same street, to the same bar. And the same old faces saying, "Hi", and I don't care. Going down in the same old bar.
