The sweetest songs belong to lovers in the gloaming. The sweetest days are the days that used to be. The saddest words I ever heard were words of parting.
Well I used to pray to Jesus but I done backslid. Carrying the burdens of a preacher's kid. Drinking at the pulpit and healing them lame. Daddy was a-riding on the old death train.
This body isn't mind, but I got a heart of gold. And i'm sitting in a desk nailed to the floor doing everything i'm told. Doing everything i'm told. .
I went down to the races to watch my pony run. Down to the races to watch my pony run. Lookin' at the faces, lookin' for the fastest one. . I took my money, money I'd saved for rent.
The highway she's hotter than nine kinds of hell. The rides,they as scarce as the rain. When you're down to your last shove with nothin' to sell. And too far away from the train.
Storms rollin' in. Power lines are down. They don't know when. It's gonna come back on. I hope it takes all night long. . Pour a glass of wine. Chase it with a kiss.
If I sent a rose to you. For every time you made me blue. You'd have a room full of roses. If I sent a rose of white. For every time I cried all night.
I've seen your dreams get broken. I've heard your words unspoken. And sometimes hope is layin' low. Hidden in the ashes. Left after the fire. . In my heart I see you run free.
Ol Reuben made a train & he put it on a track. He ran it to the Lord knows where. Oh me, oh my ran it to the Lord knows where. . Should been in town when Reuben's train went down.
I lost ten points just for bein'. In the right place at exactly the wrong time. I looked right at the facts there. But I may as well have been completely blind.
She had trailer park charm, he carved her name in his arm. Then he slept with the waitress from the bar. Then she took a chain to his car. And broke the windows on the love they had, redneck love gone bad.
Right or wrong I'll always love you. Though you're gone I can't forget. Right or wrong I'll keep on dreaming. Though I wake with the same old regret. .
Roly Poly, eatin' corn and taters. Hungry every minute of the day. Roly poly, gnawin' on a biscuit. Long as he can chew it it's okay. He can eat an apple pie.
Come and stand before your Maker. Full of wonder, full of fear. Come behold His power and glory. Yet with confidence draw near. . For the one who holds the heavens.
She's a buckskin baby made of silk and steel. Daughter of her Mother's heart. Well, dyed in the wool. Future farmer of a brand new start. She could've been a supermodel or a rich man's queen.
You're hot as a desert, hell in a sheet. Home's anywhere you lay your feet. Your heart is full of. Tumbleweed and brimstone. . Whisper in your whiskey late at night.
You make me wanna buy a big Harley. Deck it out in steel and chrome. Trade in this old car; this old house. Who we are and just be gone. . Oh baby, yeah long gone.
I don't know how I got to this place. Chasing memories I got through the face. On the land like a river of sand. . Every time I believed what I heard.
Now that I know everything that I know is wrong. Am I right if I say, "I didn't know that you knew all along". Put me on the hot seat, put me on the spot.
Well, who's gonna shoe your pretty little foot?. Who's gonna glove your hand?. Who's gonna kiss your red ruby lips?. And who's gonna be your man?. . Is that you Reuben?.
