Got tired of livin' in that one horse town. When to that station flagged that hummingbird down. I didn't even call to say goodbye. I couldn't stand to see that little girl cry.
Get down boys, go back home. Back to the girl you love. Treat her right never wrong. How mountain gals can love.. . Ridin' the night in the high cold wind.
[Chorus]. Honey, Honey. Honey won't you open that door. This is your sweet daddy don't you love me no more?. It's cold outside let me sleep on the floor.
I've traveled every highway. Down every dusty road. Beneath the silver moonlight. I counted every star that shone.. . I've seen all special places. Everybody wants to see.
(SW). Well, I know that I'm in trouble when I think I know it all. My pride always takes a bow just before I fall. (RS). But you're just as right as me and I'm just as wrong as you.
Hold whatcha got, I'm a-coming home, baby. Hold whatcha got and I don't mean maybe. Been a-thinking about you and I'm on my way. . Don't sell the house and don't wreck the car.
Well, these Highway Forty blues,. I've walked holes in both my shoes.. Counted the days since I've been gone,. And I'd love to see the lights of home..
Well, who wouldn't notice the fire in your eyes?. Or the bitter direction of impending goodbyes?. I'm fallin', I'm folded, I'm welded in place,. At the sight of you standin' with streaks down your face..
Title spelling: Hessian Peel. . Will the children cry. When their mother dies. And in the autumn of their lives. Will they feel the same?. . [reversed lyrics 2:04-2:22].
In the corner beside my window. Hangs a lonely photograph. There is a reason I never notice it. Memory that could hold me back. . There is a wound that's always bleeding.
Found a way to rid myself clean of pain. And the fever that's been haunting me. Has gone away. . Looking through my window. I seem to recognize. All the people passing by.
In the corner beside my window. Hangs a lonely photograph. There is a reason I never notice it. Memory that could hold me back. . There is a wound that's always bleeding.
Will their children cry. When their mother dies. And in the autumn of their lives. Will they feel the same?. . [reversed lyrics 2:03-2:22]. . The longing for me.
Two years. In your heart. One moment of doubt. . Two lives. Torn apart. One second from now. . Held him. In your arms. Your fever subside. Always safe from harm.
A lifeline in a drop of blood. A dying wish shun a God. Sought a dream inside the light. Finally relieved from plight. . O this night is deceiving. One eternal Winter.
Long days. Slow waste. Sew lies. Sow hate. . So many years to clean the slate. Endless despair within its wake. His touch soiling what used to be clean.
Stay with me a while. Rise above the vile. Name my final rest. Pored into my chest. . Into the orchard I walk, peering way past the gate. Wilted scenes for us who couldn't wait.
Into the trees. Past meadow grounds. And further away from my home. Baying behind me. I hear the hounds. Flock's chasing to find me alone. . A trail of sickness.
It is written and so shall be. That all things will come to an end. But if we have to go. Then it's all coming with us. Come hell & high water. It must be, it must be.
