She was a sweet, sweet girl to me. No matter where I go, no matter who I see. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. She was a sweet, sweet girl to me. . She was a sweet, sweet girl to me.
Sweet dreams of you. Every night I go through. Why can't I forget you and start my life a new. Instead of having sweet dreams about you. . You don't love me, it's plain.
Beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly. For I'm a young cowboy I know I've done wrong. As I walked out in the streets of Laredo as I walked out in Laredo one day.
Comb your hair and paint and powder. You act proud and I'll act prouder. You sing loud and I'll sing louder. Tonight we're settin' the woods on fire. .
The lights in the harbor. Don't shine for me. I'm like a lost ship. Adrift on the sea. . [Chorus:]. Sea of heartbreak. Lost love and loneliness. Memories of your caress.
Well, you ask me if I'm happy. If I have sweet peace within. If I'm worried 'bout tomorrow. When I reach my journey's end. . Well, I'm satisfied with my Jesus.
They got a vintage Victrola 1951. Full of my favorite records that I grew up on. They got ole Hank and Lefty and there's B24. Set 'em up Joe and play "Walking The Floor".
I was leanin' on the bar with a glass half empty. Washin' off the dust when she brushed up against me. She was soft and pretty everything that I'm not.
Well, I'm alive like a sprouting seed. Like the deepest roots of an ancient tree. I did not come here for the bread, no. I have come to wake the dead.
When I was a rover, met a four leaf clover. She was irish as the day was long. I thought she'd give it to me maybe. Now she's married with a baby. I've been dodging bullets all along.
I have stumbled and I have complained on this rough and rocky road. I've been humbled caught out in the rain and it's chilled me to the bone. Now I've seen my dreams scatter like leaves lost in the wind.
Sweet temptation, that's what you are to me. That's what you'll always be, it seems. Ah, sweet temptation, you smile and pass me by. But still you occupy my dreams.
Sometimes this crazy world can make us all feel bad. I sit and watch the news and just get mad. We need to stop and smell the roses in the ground. So get out today, you spread a little love around.
Somehow tonight I feel lonely, my darlin'. Somehow tonight I feel blue. Somehow tonight these tears of mine keep falling. Come back, sweetheart and be true.
Well, I thought I was over you and that my heart was free. I felt like those old memories had finally let me be. So I picked up the phone to call a girl that I once knew.
Kick your shoes off in the corner. Mama, tuck 'em babies all up snug. Sis' Draper's comin' over. We all gonna cut a rug. . When you see that lantern swingin' yonder.
Soldier of the cross, soldier of the cross. You carry the sword of faith. Soldier of the cross, soldier of the cross. You bring love to those who hate..
I'd pretend it was over. But over was a word I couldn't take. Each time I thought I'd left you. Well I'd find my way back to you the next day. . I was foolish to think.
I got me in bed and covered my head. Wish I was dead with Sally Jo. Sally Jo, where did you go Sally Jo?. . Since you have gone my days are turned to night.
