The days pass by in slow motion. Starts to rain that I dont even notice. Everybody wants what they can have. And everybody wants a little more. I wish I had a little more.
I've been around from town to town. I've seen a thing or two. I've been across this whole wide world. Looking for someone like you. . I was a fool when I let you go.
I can't stand the collar. It makes it hard to swallar. But where you go I'll faller. Hey, I'm a lucky dog. . I can't get used to gettin'. All this love and pettin'.
There's a long line of mourners driving down our little street. Their fancy cars are such a sight to see, oh, yeah. They're all of your rich friends who knew you in the city.
You said I'd live to regret it. I said, "I'll die before I do.". Now the pain is gonna kill me if I let it. Has it been a lifetime. Since I walked out on you?.
Everybody calls me the girl in a little pink Mack. The bumpers of chrome and so are the wheels and the stacks. It's got polka dot curtains hangin' on a sleeper of pink.
Love comes unbidden. Can't be forbidden. It takes you and shakes you. Right down to your shoes. . It knows heartache and trial. But accepts no denial.
Rita was sixteen years, hazel eyes and chestnut hair. She made the Woolworth counter shine. And Eddie was a sweet romancer and a darn good dancer. They'd waltz the aisles of the five and dime.
We were buddies once upon a time. And then you took off on your social climb. But fortune only brought you misery. And now you're cryin' out for sympathy.
(Nanci Griffith). I am leaving Mississippi in the evening rain. Well those Delta towns wear satin gowns. In a high beamed frame. Loretta Lynn guides my hands through the radio.
A little bit south of West Virginia. The miles go by and the engine roars. I've come so far tryin' to forget you. So far from that slammin' door. . Day dawned bright in the Shenandoah.
The key's in the mailbox the U-Haul is loaded. This is the last time we'll call this place home. The cats in a cage to leave at your mother's. I'll be halfway to Ashville when you wake up alone.
(Kathy Mattea). Well, I'm leaving West Virginia in the morning. And I'm headin' out that California way. I don't know what I'll find but baby it's my time.
Well the night is as thick as silence. You can't cut it with a knife. A man lies in the hospital. Draining out his life. The trucks are on the back road.
I see myself in your eyes. And suddenly there's nothing left for me to hide. I used to be so scared of this. And now you've gone and changed it all with just a kiss.
I put the locket you gave me in a shoe box. With all my favorite high school pictures in a ziplock. So when I think about myself and all that I'm not.
I'm tired of this dance, we just go 'round in circles. Again and again, I'm taking a chance. Telling the truth 'cause this has to end. I'm seeing a new road, baby, you wanna go you can take my hand.
He was the lone wolf you could see it in his eyes. The way he held his heart the way he held his lies. Sometimes he's just show up outside on the porch.
I've got my heart in a box. Under the bed where it's cold and it's dark. And i've got my soul in my shoes. Walking on myself just to get to you. And i've got a lazy eye.
Once they were lovers, but now they are not friends. She's found another, he says it's the end. To think they once tore down a wall of a door. Now they don't speak anymore.
