There's a long line of mourners coming down our street. Their fancy cars are such a sight to see. They're all of your rich friends that knew you in the city.
If some time we're thrown together by our friends. And we're forced to see each other once again. I may lose control in spite of how I try. Please look over me while I cry.
Once I thought I loved just you. And I thought you loved me too. But today you say we're through. Just look what thoughts will do. . Now another wears the crown.
When the men in black come kickin' in your door. And guitar-playin' outlaws lay spread-eagled on the floor. When our celebrated heroes have been cuffed and locked away.
Silent night, lonely night. I don't have you for Christmas. Silent night, lonely night. I don't have you this year. . But I'll have twelve long months to remember.
Time flies by. In the blink of an eye. When you get paid for having too much fun. Kicking out the foot lights. Living the night life. Like tomorrow ain't never gonna come.
There hasn't been one bit of laughter in this house in so long,. Just the howling of the wind asking why.. And I know this house ain't growing, but it seems bigger since you're gone..
Life is like a mountain railway. With an engineer that's brave. We must make the right connections. From the cradle to the grave. . Watch the curves, the fill, the tunnels.
I'm praying for rain in California. So the grapes can grow and they can make more wine. And I'm a sittin' at a honky'n in Chicago. With a broken heart and a woman on my mind.
LIFE IN PRISON. (Merle Haggard). '64 Owen Publications, BMI. . The jury found the verdict first degree. They swore I planned her death to be. I prayed they sentence me to die.
Well it really has been nice bein' with you but I'm afraid that I've got to leave. As you know I'm a rodeo cowboy and there's a rodeo down in Mesquite.
Somehow things just never came together. Fate had different plans for you and me. Love used to be the most important thing in life. But life's just not the way it used to be.
Let's chase each other 'round the room tonight. Let's play the games we played on our wedding night. To lock and bolt the door is only right. Let's chase each other 'round the room tonight.
Let's chase each other 'round the room tonight. Let's play the games we played on our wedding night. To lock and bolt the door is only right. Let's chase each other 'round the room tonight.
[Chorus]. When Leonard finally came to California. He was twenty-one years old, as I recall. He loved to write a song and pick on the guitar. And he came to hang a gold one on the wall.
Why do you treat me as if I were only a friend. And what have I done that has made you so distant and cold. Sometimes I wonder if you'll be contented again.
Do the mornin's still come early, are the nights not long enough?. Does a tear of hesitation fall on everything you touch?. Well, it all might be a lesson for the hasty heart to know.
Faces of liars, faces of glass. Walk on the wire but they won't get past. Hold me darlin' don't let go. Save each other from a world of woe. . I want you darlin' I want you right now.
Well you came to me you cooled my mind. The stakes were high impossible to describe. I loved you little child how you mystified. Just blinding flash we were parallel lines.
Sensation sweet at my feet,. Such a strong appetite.. With love from here, love from there,. You only get one bite.. . With love from here, love from there,.
