I keep my eyes on what's comin'. What's behind me off my mind. Might waste a little money. But I sure don't waste no time. There's clouds on the horizon.
I come to the garden alone,. While the dew is still on the roses,. And the voice I hear falling on my ear. The Son of God discloses.. . And He walks with me, and He talks with me,.
Some glad morning when this life is over,. I'll fly away.. To a home on God's celestial shore,. I'll fly away.. . I'll fly away, O Glory,. I'll fly away. (In the morning).
Baseline tears on a windowpane. The bellway's jammed in the driving rain. And I can't tell the dark from the pain. 'Cause I'm not there anymore. . Say the word and I'll grab my keys.
I went to Hollywood, the timing was to kill ya. Palm trees like you said there was,. The viper room was up there. Saw your face in the window there. Like a light from everywhere.
I learn the hard way. Or no way at all. You're out in the hallway. Braced for the fall. Let's just be together. Just me and you. We'll follow the weather.
It's a war. Do what you're told. All the way in the back. I can see you attack. And focus in starlight I would dine and be done. Cause I'm out of time.
Today my radio played a new love song. Pretty soon, I was singing along. When the chorus came around, I knew. Every word, every line was written about you.
Graffti on the overpass. Skidmarks on the road. Things I grew up doing. I never did out grow. In the middle of those running years. She walked into my life.
A little boy on a big jet plane. Taking off in the pouring rain. They're bouncin' 'round like a basketball. He says 'Mama what if we fall?'. She looks in those big scared eyes.
Last thing I expected. Was to get her call tonight. Cause the last thing that I heard from her. She found "Mr. Right". But when I came home this evening.
Last night she wasn't sleepin' when I came slippin in. I knew I had it comin, cause she knew where I'd been. She said "a part of me walks out that door everytime you leave.
Well I knew she was lonely, and I was alone. A stranger in a strange town, too far from home. Her eyes blue as diamonds, Her hair black as cole. I could feel her desire, Burning like fire, Right down to my sole.
It was where my mama sat on that. Old swing with her crochet. It was where Grand Daddy taught me. How to curse and how to pray. . It was where we made our own ice cream.
I see the way he doesn't treat you right. I see the tears that you try to hide. I feel the heartache that you don't show. Wish I had a way to let you know.
It was Sunday morning, I was seven years old. In the backyard playing in a big mudhole. I was all decked out, ready for church. Had my brand new suit all covered in dirt.
We went out for beers and a couple laughs. Knowing full well that every bad joke that Jimmy told, might be his last. So we laughed like the world wasn't at war.
I was born beside this river. 'bout a half a mile from here. but I never seemed to notice. that the water ran this clear. and I've never seen that color green.
Life hit me when I wasn't looking. It dealt me a hard hand to play. . I felt betrayed and forsaken. But I been makin' the wrong people pay. . I'm Done... I'm Done....
There's a little house I drive by everyday going into town. And it just kills me to see how he's let it run down. When I built it, to hear you tell it.
