I like to read and I like to write. But you could persuade me to put the book down tonight. Just please don't ask to be a song heroine. It's not that easy just to stick you in, stick you in.
Well, I met the man. In Montgomery, Alabama. I was waiting on a bus. And he was shining shoes. And I heard him say. . I'm a shoeshine man. Number one in the land.
Me and Yates, an army buddy o'mine. Were doin' three years in Germany at the time. We came upon these Frauleins in the bar. Yates said, "Darf isch zee be-gleit-en", they said, "Ya".
how can i sit and watch. let a good thing ride away. suddenly all is lost. as i search for words to say. but all that comes are a million tears. one for every time i should have told you.
You. You were lying in my bed. And I told you it was over. It was over. And then. I went away. And told me to. Give up on you. To give up on you. . You said maybe.
even the sun gets blue. when you're gone. i look for you. the moon would blush. if it read my mind. i think of you. . sunrise surprise. sunrise surprise.
i wear it so well,. no one else can tell. what is inside. once i was a servent,. once i was a sucker. i was such a sellout. but i don't want to tell you twice.
my thoughts are so clear. i can't take back the times when we were so free. it's like a dream to me but never would i see. . you and me in the troubles of this year.
how long will i go on. turning my back and closing my eyes. wishing you were here but pretening you're dead. it's not so bad here in mediocraty. no one expects much of me.
I took the pills that made me fast to speed my brain future is past. Rapid pulsations upon my heart pulsing my blood from part to part. . Suicide I'm still living suicide I'm still giving.
I met her at the mission. Living just this side of sin. Her mouth was soft and when she spoke. Lord, I fell right in. . She had a baby in a blanket. A dollar and a half.
There's a new star in my sky. There's a new song in my life. Some may take love casually. But I know what it's worth to me. . [Chorus:]. I would count the steps from here to heaven.
There's a new star in my sky. There's a new song in my life. Some may take love casually. But I know what it's worth to me. . I would cound the steps from here to heaven.
Maybe, I pray too much, maybe, I'm wastin' God's time. Livin' without your touch is driving me out of my mind. If you could only see how much you matter to me.
My Daddy brought home a photograph from the paper yesterday. It showed a line of wagons movin' someplace far away. That picture made my daddy smile, it made my Momma cry.
I stood up for you when you married. I thought you were one lucky guy. You had the world in your pocket. She had that look of love in her eye. . You called me at one in the morning.

There's an Elvis movie on the marquee sign. We've all seen at least three times. Everybody's broke, Bobby's got a buck. Put a dollars worth of gas in his pickup truck.
