I thought you might want to stay if I put my guitar away. Quit the band and came home to stay but that wouldn't do. And this old guitar of mine used to ease my troubled mind.
Grease in our hair, hands in our pockets. We stood and stared at cars goin' past. We placed our bets, where they were headed. And held our cigarettes like movie stars.
Me and Junior, Sunny and Steve. Hangin' at the fillin' station. And drinkin' cokes out by the grease rack. A week before graduation. . Tellin' lies 'bout the girls we knew.

We go out to a party somewhere. The moment we walk in the door. People stop and everybody stares. She don't know what they're starin' for. . She don't know she's beautiful.
Each night you show up about a quarter to two. And in my dreams you always come true. And for awhile it's just like old times. But before I know it, you say goodbye.
First light, city streets they are white and pristine. Waiting on the tracks of the early machines. This city's so pretty. When the snow falls, just at dawn.
Swing out your gate of love open up your heart. I knew when I first met you that you'd be my sweetheart. Swing out your gate of love and please don't let me fall.
Well, I woke up Sunday morning. With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt. And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad. So I had one more for desert.
I'm a fool such a fool. A crazy fool for lovin' you. I'm a fool such a fool. A crazy fool for bein' true. . The day we met I told my heart. "Better let her be".
I hate to see that evening sun go down. I hate to see that evening sun go down. 'Cause my baby, she done left this town. . I'm feelin' tomorrow like I feel today.
Somewhere my love there will be songs to sing. Although the snow covers the hope of spring. Somewhere a hill blossoms in green and gold. And there are greens all that your heart can hold.
Sometimes I get to thinking of another time. When we had so little but you were mine. Now so much has changed in all the price the years have caused. Somewhere between then and now, so much got lost.
Seems we always have to slip around to be together dear. Slippin' around afraid we'd might be found. I know I can't forget you and I've gotta have you near.
Silver wings shining in the sunlight. Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight. They're taking you away leaving me lonely. Silver wings slowly fading out of sight.
Just because I asked a friend about her. Just because I spoke her name somewhere. Just before I rang her number by mistake today. She thinks I still care.
Second hand shoes second hand clothes they all call her second hand rose. They all think they're pretty smart but rose don't have a second hand heart.
How many times have you heard someone say?. "If I had his money I could do things my way". But little they know that's so hard to find. One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind.
I was born in Saginaw Michigan. I grew up in a house on Saginaw bay. My dad was a poor hard working Saginaw fisherman. Too many nights he came home with too little pay.
(Susan Longacre/Michael Smotherman). . Everytime she walked out. She just ran back. He was a smooth talker from day one. Always vowing how he'd get his life back on track.
