I was following the rodeos in Texas. And being chased by fathers of my ex's. I was a looking for romance but it happened just like that. When I saw her it melted the brim of my hat.
This wild crazy look in my eyes. Only means I'm trying to drink her from my mind. And as I watch her at the bar with all those men around. I know before closin' time one or two won't be turned down.
All she said she wanted was a piece of me. Even if the part she got could never be free. So I gave her love that I knew you could spare. But sweetheart she took more than her share.
Once I had a warm and willing woman. And it never crossed my heart to cross the street. But lately baby's left me cold and hungry. For the kind of love that made me want to cheat.
Papa it's so good to see you seeing you off of the wine. Papa you barely miss mama she won't try to hold you this time. One day her tears did stop falling she gave up on walking the floor.
Stand on the bar, stomp your feet, start clapping. Got a real good feeling something bad about to happen. . Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. . [Miranda:]. Pulled up to the church but I got so nervous.
Oh, oh, so tired of walkin' around draggin' this ghost. Can't escape the constant ache that wears on my bones. It's too strong to rub it out, it's stuck like a stain.
Santa, I'm waiting for you. Santa baby, slip a sable under the tree for me. Been an awful good girl. Santa baby, hurry down the chimney tonight. . Santa baby, a '54 Convertable too, light blue.
Sometimes I get scared afraid somehow your heart has had it. I try to pretend I understand just how we made it. My highs and lows and in-betweens. Don't come close even at extremes.
How could I sing about love when it's not?. I must be crazy 'cause I know you got. Other people in the world than me. And none of them with a history.
She's pulling me back again. Darling, don't let her win. Take me in your arms, right now. Hold me tight. . She's standing outside again. She's wanting to come back in.
I keep a pile of pennies. In the pocket of my pants. I pay my toll to the sidewalk troll. My entrance fee to street romance. . Oh, streetcorner ambassador.
Saturday morning found me itching. To get on over to my grandma's kitchen. Where the sweetest little berries was cooking up right. And then we'd put them in a canning jar and seal them up tight.
Midnight and Yoland has a long walk home. Midwifing a hard labor the baby was stillborn. Still the mother asks to hold the child that never cries. Rocks it gently softly keening a plaintive lullaby, hush.
Sleep comes creeping in. At four in the morning. Sneaking up the stairs. Shoes in her hands. . Don't you know what time it is?. Oh, I've been worried about you, Lollie.
If you're asking me to name this tune. I may say it's 'Silver Spoon' or I may smile and say 'hey, hey'. . You know, I never really found a way. To talk about the things you said about me.
When you asked me. "Michelle, do you love me?". I did not know what to say. So I just laid down beside you. And loved you in a silent way. . And when you asked me to forgive you.
Shaking hands and fingers that do tremble. Soldier's joy has been a bitter pill. Though in battle a brave man I resemble. Alone, I am a coward without will.
Billy Barlow was a poor boy. That's why he robbed the Union Grove Bank. He was a sweet talking ladies man. That's what he'd have ladies all to think. .
You said no but my heart heard yes. I couldn't face the truth so I kept on lying. I love you but you don't love back. I couldn't deal with that so I kept on trying.
