I came to Nashville a long time ago people said that I could be a star. But all I remember is loneliness and hunger oh I sure didn't get too far. This is the last song I'm ever gonna sing the last time I play my old guitar.
Did you ever sleep up behind a billboard sign. On the outskirts of your hometown for no good reason. Did you ever keep a picture in your back pocket. Of a lady who let you down just cause it was pleasin'.
I love you, so much. Somewhere back in time. You became a friend of mine. And day by day we've grown a little closer. You're my spirit to be strong. A friend when things go wrong.
[Verse 1]. I'm searching for a meaning tonight. And I'm watching all the words as they come alive. I'm seeing how dimensions divide. But I'm feeling that this love is still alive.
It's written on your face now. You wanna be my muse. No resume necessary. You're too, too, too adorable. Not be like all the other. . (Loose wires). We have a connection unlike anyone.
She rides in a rag top sports car. I drive a pickup truck. She always plays the safe side. I like to gamble on my luck. She has a taste for fine champagne.
Well I was walking through graveyard. Endless rows of white. Where they buried all the men. Who ever took up arms to fight.. When I came across this old man.
There's a man upon a mountain - he's a screaming at the stars. Says his love is gonna to save him and his passion is on fire. And if he listens very closely in the distance he can hear the tires a squealing.
Long Long Road. . Its another of those downhill days. My car gave up, more bills to pay. And my bank account is down to pocket change. But somehow I aint scared a bit.
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.
Love Me Baby Blues. . (Joe Callicott). . Drive down baby. Like showers of rain. Can't you hear my fair girl. Call my name. Can't you hear my fair girl call my name?.
Leavin' Blues. . (Herman Johnson). . I wanted to leave here this evening. But I stays way too long. Wanted to leave here this evening. But stays way too long.
Lead Me On. . I've been looking for a home. I've been looking for a home. But I can't find one. Looking for a home but I can't find one. . Lead me on.
Liberty wanted to come with me. She'd never been there before. She came close a few times. Now she needed some more. . Liberty, let her man go. He didn't give her the stars.
There's no king when love is the thing, we play the same rules. In a heartbeat a wise man can be a fool. There's no guarantee that love will be a stranger or a friend.
Im gloved in a corner, in a fight, in a trance. I stare at the towel on a rope of the ring. Thinking how I could beat my lovers deceit, now where should I go?.
I watched TV til the sun rose. Fell asleep in the same clothes. Woke up alone, picked up the phone. And called the one I said Id never call again. . I need to lose a number.
I was feeling when Im older. He could love me just the same. Papa say it again. But now I feel cause hes gone now. Always thought that love could stay.
You move in ways never feel it when I go. Well I never worry about things like that, yet. You play in what you want to say, loving what you got to say.
