An American landed on Erin's green isle. He gazed on killarny with a rapturous smile. How can I buy it he said to the guy. I'll tell you how with a smile he replied.
If people dressed in colours. According to their deeds. Then many leading men. Would dress in black. And lots of unsung heroes. Who never made a name.
A canvas covered cabin in a crowded labor camp. Stand out in this mem'ry I revive. Cause my daddy raised a family there with two hard working hands. And tried to feed my mama's hungry eyes.
See the tree how big it's grown but friend it hasn't been too long it wasn't big. I laughed at her and she got mad the first day that she planted it was just a twig.
We're holding on with nothing left to hold on to. . I'm so tired of holding on to nothin'. The years have shown no kindness for the hard times we've been through.
Hey daddy I need a drink of water those are the sounds I'm living by. Not long ago my ears thought they were happy. When a jukebox in a bar was turned up high.
Today I found a dollar on the sidewalk so I went and bought a jug of wine. And I'll sit here in this alley and keep drinkin'. Until the thoughts of mama leaves my mind.
Old heart of clay why do you let her mold you this way. She'll try to shape your life and make me over don't you see. Old heart of clay why do you let her change you this way.
I always knew you were a rambler. Betting on you makes me a gambler. But I fell so hard, I ignored your past. Tried to tame your heart but you moved too fast.

Since the day I was born my mother used to say,. I pity the man that will carry you away,. I never knew exactly why it's something that builds up inside,.
She's got a heart. She's got a heart like Memphis. . She's Georgia honeysuckle sweet. Smiles at strangers on the street. Remembers everybody's name. Calls her momma every day.
Love lifts me up. When I'm down at heart. And fills me with a hope. That we can start. To change the way we feel. With just a glimpse. Of something real.
Oh lord, I stand before you. A past I can't deny. A sinner from the old school. Repent before you die. I tried to run. I tried to hide. I tried so hard to stray.
Here we go. . I've fallen, yeah I've fallen before. I thought I knew exactly what was in store. When I met him got more than I bargained for. And I'm not overstating, over exaggerating.
Every woman wants, every woman needs. What everybody thinks is impossible, unachievable. A man who's strong, admits he's wrong, he laughs along. And is up for anything and everything.
summertime and i drive, aint no place weve gotta be. i can take my eyes off you, you keep looking back at me. i just sigh, no sense of time, blazing down the open road.
How well do I remember how Jesus brought me through. I walk the floor and pray a night or two. I said, "Lord take and use me, that's all that I can do.
This is the boy that live in a house that love built. These are the arms that held the charms of the sweetest girl in town. These are the hands that made the plans for a house that love built.
Well I'm a honky tonk man and I can't seem to stop. I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox. But when my money's all gone I'm on the telephone.
