I got my first guitar when I was just a boy. I was playin' the blues instead of playin' with toys. Listenin' to the Opera and dreamin' of the neon lights.
Well, I was just a kid, maybe two or three. Had a bad nightmare, scared the life out of me. Mama came in to calm my fears. When nothing she could do would stop those tears.
Every guy in my country road home town. Lost their mind when this one girl came around. Oh, I was seventeen. The first time that she looked my way. Hot as the pavement in July.
A short red dress don't turn my head. At least that's true unless it's you that's wearin' it. Glamor girls, high heels and pearls. They're a dime a dozen in this world.
If you've got faith and you believe in what you're living for. You can stand your ground when the devil's at your door. And a little hope can help you when the road is getting rough.
The first night we brought you home, it scared me half to death. I stood right beside your crib and counted every breath. Lookin' at your little face, Heaven seemed so close.
I see the questions in your eyes. I know what's weighin' on your mind. But you can be sure I know my part. 'Cause I'll stand beside you through the years.
I guess everybody goes to the grocery store, even me. There's no tellin' who in the world there you're gonna see. Lost in space at the cash only aisle number three.
Sometimes a song can touch a nerve that takes me back to you. When I pick up my old guitar and I play your favorite tune. Every now and then, some little thing, I've buried comes bubblin' up.
I like the feel of your name on my lips. And I like the sound of your sweet gentle kiss. The way that your fingers run through my hair. And how your scent lingers even when your not there.
Another night on this interstate. Seems like I've been on it everyday. For years now, does it ever end. . On my way to another show. Where I'll end up, I don't even know.
Well, I don't wanna hear, 'Last call'. And I don't wanna look at the clock on the wall. Let's lose track of time while we're dancing this close. . And I don't really care if no one's around.
When we're this close I can almost hear your heart beat. As you softly breathe lyin' here with me. Your skin's like a canvas being painted by the moonbeams.
I know he gave you every reason. To lose your faith in love. Give me the chance I'll find the pieces. To a heart that's given up. . You say there's nothing I can do.
They read you Cinderella. You hoped it would come true. That one day your Prince Charming would come rescue you. You like romantic movies. You never will forget.
Another song about same lady. Tell your best friends how you've grown. Now you never see the old familiar places. All the nice men you have known. . How you've never been the loser.
By now I should've known better,. But it's all just a matter of time,. Remember one day you told me,. You were never mine.. . It was a game of temptation,.
Ooh! It sounded good to see the boys for an evening,. One drink and then I must go home,. I had another then I said I'd be leavin'. One more and then it all went wrong..
I need your love. I need your love. I need your love. I need your love. . Some times, I feel lost and I don't know what you believe. My wires get crossed, and I wonder how you could leave.
Just another dead end kid. Can't believe the things I did.. Lots of pretty ladies by my side,. Take it all for number one.. Wasted days with no harm done,.
