(don van tress). . She's the promise of pearl in a pool of heartache. She's the perfect little truth wrapped in little white lies. Like the wind she will turn.
(leslie winn satcher/max t barnes). . Well it's 9pm, four hours of overtime. I'm not working my way up the corporate ladder. Just a hard hat on the line, I'm just a hard hat on the line.
(john wayne wiggins/bobby carmichael). . If you had a heart. You wouldnt' be breaking mine. If you really cared. You wouldn't be so unkind. You run around all over town.
[Intro]. . I got too drunk again and forgot to call. But I'n trying girl, yeah I'm trying. . I got high and didn't text you at all. I'm not lying girl, I'm not lying.
I make love, I make love. . Consider yourself a lady. Consider yourself a real prize. But just don't give me none of that. Too cool for love. It just might hit you right between the eyes.
There's pollen flying down the holland tunnel. And the hotel's full of mud and unmade clay. There are rumours coasting in on fumes and vapors. And there's no more gas for anyone today.
Bury it in the garden. At midnight by the moon. Cover up the traces. Lick and dress your wounds. Burn it up or drown it you can try. But what has never lived can never die.
by John Williamson. . Real country people in their prime,. Livin' in New South on Queensland time. He's a stockman, likes raisin' sheep,. Likes raisin' children, don't get much sleep.
He threw his hopes into the wind. To see if they would pin on her again. He threw his heart against the wall. To see if it would stick or fall. . She put her arms around him and said, "You are forgiven".
There was you and me and then there was him. Which leaves me out on a limb. Out in the cold where the wild things grow. Where no one sleeps 'cause no one knows.
The world is turning upside-down, no-one's in the black. The king is on the balcony, the queen is in the sack. He's lying through his golden teeth, she's lying on her back.
You win the argument at the end of every night. I never know the perfect time to hit the bedside light. Then we lie awake and watch headlights climb the blinds.
I'm staying here and I'm not buying a gun. I'll just take my trouble as it comes. I know you've got it in for me. But I don't give a damn. I'd rather die while trying.
If tonight were like last night. I wouldn't be thinking. But dreaming of somewhere I wanted to go. If tonight were like last night. I wouldn't be sinking.
I just woke up. And I feel so good. And I'm looking straight ahead. My thoughts are wild. All I do is smile. And I'm jumping out of bed. I just woke up (just woke up).
I don't mind if you finish my sentences for me. Interrupt anytime, that's ok too. If the alternative's nothing, alright then ignore me. But I just wanna talk with you.
I can tell when you're telling lies. I can see it in your smiling eyes. I can't help when you're telling lies. I can see it in your lack of surprise. I can see just where the truth doesn't lie.
Falling in love was the. Last thing I had on my mind. Holding you is a warmth. That I thought I could never find. . (Sitting here all alone). Just trying to decide.
We speak out like children. Of the dreams that we chase and pursue. These rights we hold precious. Say it loud enough and it'll be true. . In the company of strangers.
