It was mid July, summer rain. We drove past the Texaco. With an empty tank and no loose change. You swore we'd make it home. It's a little fuzzy 'cause.
We were circus lights and cannonballs. We were way too high to ever fall. We were fireflies and shooting stars. We were burning up from the start. And we'd say are we gonna live forever?.
There I was at the bus stop beggin' you just to stay. Can we work this out, baby we can work this out. A dust trail from a Greyhound headed for the West Coast.
Hang all the mistletoe. I'm gonna get to know you better. This Christmas. And as we trim the tree. How much fun it's gonna be together. This Christmas.
Im all busted aces and empty pockets. An arrow shot straight through a locket. In this cheap hotel room on this lonesome highway. Everything I own in this tattered old suitcase.
Well I bet my buddies are out on the town tonight. Dancin' in the smoke in the glow of the neon lights. I'm sure they're out there cuttin' up and drinkin'.
I thought I could turn it around before you knew. Before I lost all I had. I thought I could carry the lie and hold you too. But I thought wrong, you slipped right through.
The first Noel, the angels did say. Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay. In fields where they lay keeping their sheep. On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Tin cans rattling the pavement. Confetti scattered everywhere. She falls asleep in the seat beside me. Grass caught up in her hair. . I don't mind it, I keep drivin,.
This land is your land. This land is my land. From California to the New York island. From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Straight waters. This land was made for you and me.
I don't know if you were looking at me or not. You probably smile like that all the time. And I don't mean to bother you but. I couldn't just walk by.
They call us a two lane just passing by slow down town. Yeah they say what's there to do when you ain't got nothin' around. Just a few street lights, speed limit signs that all say 25.
I just spent three nights in a two-night town. Suns comin' up and I'm just goin' down. Am I ever gonna turn my life around. I just spend three nights in a two-night town.
I thought you were just being a girl. The kind that just wants to change me. Likes to find all my flaws. Thought I had you figured out. I told myself she's crazy.
I want to be the man that you thought I was. I want to be the man that made you fall in love. I can't undo everything I've done. But let me tell you right now.
Got us a sunset sinking into a friday night. Got us some beer needs drinking hey and we just might. Sometimes we gotta make it up as we go. But layin' low ain't all that goes on 'round here.
You ain't got a dress that I don't like. You ain't got a pair of jeans that don't fit you just right. There's not a minute in the day. That you don't knock me out, you don't blow me away.
Tell em all I'm on vacation,. Say I went to visit friends,. That you ain't heard or seen from me in quite a while,. When they ask you where I've been,.
I can't count the barns I've past. Painted red, white and black. See Rock city. And up ahead there's a turn. Take me right through Gatlinberg. I hear it's pretty.
Ohio was a riverbank. A ten speed laying in the weeds. Cannonball off an old rope swing. Long, long summer days. . Tennessee was a guitar. First big dream of mine.
