I came to the city. When the city was cheap. Now that cheese had some work done. I pay through the teeth. You came from Alberta. You said 'Toronto's not so bad'.
The moment we said good bye. Silence tore across the sky. The riverbed lay wide and dry. As far as I could see. And someone said. My ghost was found. Laying her burden down.
Was it something that I said. That turned your laughter into lead?. Did I pin too much of me onto you?. Or was I just too blind to see?. It wasn't love but sympathy..
Gonna find a perfect mountain gonna stay until I die. Drink of mother nature's fountain let my worries roll on by. Well the good times go easy and the bad times go slow.
He has one that locks the office,. And there's one that starts the big fine car. That finds its way home.. He has two that fit the front-door locks,. And one that fits the mailbox,.
I wish you'd look who's crawlin' back to you. I never thought I'd live to see today. I swore to you the day. I left, this time I'd go for good. And I was even proud enough to tell myself I could.
I'm dying to forget about those goodbye words you said. I thought everything was right but you went and left instead. No pain, no gain, well I'm not out to win.
What the hell was I thinkin'. Comin' and livin' in the concrete canyon. Trying to swim upstream in a river of vacant eyed people. Where are they going so fast what in the world could be that important.
[G] A Prodigal son once [C] strayed from his [G] father. To travel a land of [A] hunger and [D] pain. And [G] now I can see the [C] end of my [G] journey.
I know not where on earth to find you. I know not how or when to start. I only know, I'm here without you. I've got pins and needles in my heart. . The days and night are growing longer.
Way back in the hills, when a boy, I once wandered. Buried deep in her grave lies the one that I love. She was called from this earth, a jewel for Heaven.
I have heard your stories about your fast trains. But now I'll tell you bout one all the southern folks have seen. She's the beauty of the southland listen to that whistle scream.
Oh well, I'm tired and so weary. But I must go alone. Till the lord comes and calls, calls me away, oh yes. Well the morning's so bright. And the lamp is alight.
Oh well, I'm tired and so weary. But I must go alone. Till the lord comes and calls, calls me away, oh yes. Well the morning's so bright. And the lamp is alight.
Playin' every honky tonk in town;. Singin' every song I know to the new family I've found.. So if you're lookin' for me, start makin' your rounds,. Because I'm playin' every honky tonk in town..
Pour me another strong one, my baby just walked in the door. Tearing out my heart with her new love as she waltzes across that floor. Pour me another quick one I can't take this misery.
There's a letter in a shoe box. In a dresser she keeps locked. But she's never read it all the way through. It was the last one he wrote her. She was sure it was over.
Papa drove a truck nearly all his life. You know it drove mama crazy being a trucker's wife. The part she couldn't handle was the being alone. I guess she needed more to hold than just a telephone.
Don't be concerned it's time I learned. That those who play with fire get burned. But I'll be alright in a little while. But you'll be permanently lonely.
Honestly, I can't believe the magic you do. Never seen anything as lovely as you. I was so afraid, I was so alone an' blue. I took you in my arms, now I'm goin' home with you.
