Even though I've only known her for a couple of beers. In just one more slow dance we'll be leavin' here. Holding each other like we'll never let go. Pretending it's love even though we both know.
I drove down to the trap. But the joint was closed. Lately they've been droppin like dominoes. All my favorite watering holes. Are dryin' up. . Tell me is it too much for a man to ask.
Well I'm slippin' on my old party clothes. Wondering if they're still in style. Ain't had 'em on. Since you've been gone. And that's been along long while.
She got me to stop drinking and for that I'm thankful. She almost pulled off, pulling me through. And she got me standing upright. Even had me coming home nights.
She started her new life ten dollars in debt,. That's all it took to get started back then.. A trip to the courthouse across the state line,. No-one could stop her,.
Since you left I can't stay sober and I've let the grass grow over. Those pretty flowers that you planted when we moved in. And the paint has started peeling, down the hall, along the ceiling.
Thirty years today she's been upon this earth. And she can't help but wonder what it's all been worth. She swears she loves those kids and she doesn't mind that load.
Her Momma cried. Her daddy prayed. I'd go away. And let her be. But her blue eyes. Looked in my heart. Faced the dark. Instilled in me. She opened up her bible.
From the table to the jukebox. Is just a few short steps. Where a dollar will buy a sad song. And a few strong drinks to help. . Them ol' lonely hearts and honky tonks.
Just as far as I can remember she'll remain the rose of my heart. Mom took sick along in December February brought us broken heart. The reason we've not called the family reunion we knew she wouldn't be there.
Thank you Mr Postman for the letter you bring. It's from my little darling and she's coming back again. I'll meet her at the station this morning at nine.
A long steel rail a short cross-tie I'm on my way back home. I'm on the train the king of them all the Streamlined Cannonball. Oh she climbs along like a cannonball like a star on its heavenly flight.
How many times have you heard someone say. If I had his money I would do things my way?. But little they know that's so hard to find. One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind.
I wish I were a little girl, in this lie. No one could resist my little girl smile. I wish I were a baby, in this love. I'd be cradled in your arms day and night.
Feet up, anchor down. Thirty sun block. Getting rubbed around your body. Too hot dive in. Take a little swim. Float around out in the water. Aw what do you say.
And now the purple dusk of twilight time. Steals across the meadows of my heart. High up in the sky the little stars climb. Always reminding me that we're apart.
When the wind don't blow in Amarillo. And the moon along. The Gunnison don't rise. Shall I cast my dreams. Upon your love, babe. And lie beneath. The laughter of your eyes.
I met her in old Mexico. She would live in sad and young. This smokey room where no one could see. Her favorite poets all agree. Spanish is a loving tongue.
'Tention folks, speak of jokes. This is one on me. Took my gal to a dance. At the armory. Music played, dancers swayed. Then we joined the crowd. I can't dance, took a chance.
When the night has come. And the land is dark. And the moon is the only light we'll see. No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid. Just as long as you stand, stand by me.
