We went out one evenin', my darlin' and I. She seemed so different and I wondered why. We stopped at a tavern and there I could see. That she loved another one better than me.
Lookin' at you I can see what I missed. Love can't ever get better than this. I never knew there was so much in a kiss. Love can't ever get better than this.
I can't say a train whistle makes me lonesome. I can't say a whippoorwill makes me blue. It takes more than the sound of a Greyhound leavin' town. To break this poor boys heart in two.
The shadows are creepin', across the dirt mound, way down in the bottoms below. And the willows are weepin', A sad mournful sound, that says she ain't comin' home.
Drive time traffic in the pouring rain six car pileup in the passing lane. Can't help thinking while I shake my fist life's too long to live like this.
Oh, yonder stands little Maggie. With a dram glass in her hand. She's drinkin' away her troubles. She's a-courtin' another man. . Last time I saw little Maggie.
If I could find a love to treasure with this heart and with these hands. I could build a strong foundation in a world of shifting sands. If I could show just what I've made up it'd be surprise what I can do.
Lightning hit that oak tree we've been lookin' at for years. This summer oh I know we'll miss the shade - we just made it through. The coldest winter we ever knew and our ole hound Dixie passed away.
We step out on the dance floor the band starts to play. Holding you close I get carried away. Finding that falling is easy to do. Lost in the feeling with you.
From somewhere outside I hear the street vendor cry file' gumbo. Through my window I see him going down the street and he don't know. That she fell right to sleep in the damp.
You are the light of the world. You are the light of the world. But if that light is under a bushel. Brr, it's lost something kind of crucial. You got to stay bright to be the light of the world.
You've got to give a little, take a little. Sit a spell, learn to whittle. Live a little now and then. Unwind, take your time, leave your cares all behind.
Storm clouds risin', flash of lightning. Rattles that ole porch swing. Window open, curtains dancing. Just you and me. As the thunder rolls on we'll just hold on.
I don't wanna hear no more. About how he broke your heart. Relivin' your ole memories is tearing me apart. I'd just soon forget about the past. ?Cause that's the one thing we can't change.
You left me baby a year ago. But I still love you, I'm mourning low. Lord I'm blue and so down hearted. That lonesome old river's my home. . I bought you diamonds, fine clothes to wear.
Low and lonely sad and blue. Thinking only of little you. Always trying to keep from crying. I'm low and lonely over you. . Do you miss me? Say you do.
Life is like a mountain railroad with an engineer that's brave. We must make the run successful, from the cradle to the grave. Watch the curves, the hills, the tunnels never falter, never quail.
Beside a new made grave heartbroken my love for her. Won't let me go away. And leave her there to sleep forever all alone beneath. That lonely mound of clay.
Why do you treat me as if I were only a friend?. What have I done that has made you so different and cold?. Sometimes I wonder if you'll be contented again.
Days go by and I'm trying to let you go. Night bears down and I'm trying to let you go. These seasons change and the ground will turn to snow. New blood, old heart still trying to let you go.
