I got up with a full and happy heart. Another sunny day. I couldn't wait to start. I combed my hair. Walked down the stairs. To wait for the phone to ring.
My old man was young once, so the photo album claims.. Flip the page from baby jumps some 20 years and change.. From the cradle to the Navy base, the newlywed recruit..
Love is funny or it's sad,. Or it's quiet or it's mad,. It's a good thing or it's bad,. But beautiful!. . Beautiful to take a chance. And if you fall, you fall,.
I been caught out in the cold Montgomery rain. With nothin' but the blues to my name. Listenin' to the lonesome sounds of a midnight train. That old whine, well that kinda reminds me of Hank.
She's a small town girl with no room to grow. And he's a reckless boy with no where to go. They're like birds in a cage with no place to fly. So he parks the car and she holds him tight.
(Mark Nesler/Jennifer Hanson). . You can settle down in Mexico. Runaway join a circus show. Whatever, baby it's alright with me. Take a walk in the pouring rain.
My daddy was blue collar. He worked for the man all of his life. He showed up when he didn't want to be there. A man of his word, believed in doing things right.
I been thinkin' 'bout our love situation. All this attraction in the present tense. I've reached the only logical conclusion. Love ain't supposed to make sense.
Back in 39 she was 26. The wife of a soldier tryin' to raise four kids. On rationed out beans and watered down milk. Tryin' to keep 'em all warm with a patchwork quilt.
I can't take back the things I said. To you in the past. Or make you forget the reasons why. We didn't last. . I'm haunted by what might have been. Still I can't change who I was back then.
I was there in the winter of '64. When we camped in the ice at Nashville's doors. Three hundred miles our trail had lead. We barely had time to bury our dead.
When the stars line up. And you catch a good break. People think you're lucky. But you know its grace.. It can happen so fast. Or a little bit late. Timing is everything..
I'm not sure what I did just yet. But something kicked in on the night we met. Look's like her hearts out of control. What she's gonna do next, I don't know.
Well my heart didn't skip a beat. When I saw you standing there. Looking like some kind of angel. Like you were walking on air. And the earth didn't move.
In the early rush of morning. Trying to get the kids to school. One's hangin' on my shirt tail. The other's locked up in her room. And I'm yellin' up the stairs.
When I rode out of Dallas. Chasing down a dream. I thought I knew what I was looking for. But the neon nights have blinded me. 'Til I'm lost in Tennessee.
I smell the fragrance. Of your hair. Feel your fingers and your breath. On my skin. When we're here alone like this. A crazy world makes perfect sense.
In the early rush of morning. Trying to get the kids to school. One's hangin' on my shirt tail. The other's locked up in her room. And I'm yellin' up the stairs.
Long-legged shadows. Mississippi sunset. She was standing like a candle. That hadn't been burned yet. The wind was blowin'. Clouds like ashes. Had my hand in my pocket.
They say that smokin' ain't allowed in here. But I don't care. Try to sneak you some. Saw your buddies at the barber shop. And they sure fight a lot. Just like they've always done.
