I'll always remember the first time I saw him. Up in the saddle aolne. Riding that pony and racin' the wind. Whereverit would blow. Each night I'd pray.
We came out west together with a common desire. The fever we had might've set the west coast on fire. Two months later got trouble in mind. Oh my baby moved up and let me behind.
I have found my calling. The mission's all too clear. The voice I hear inside me. Is louder than the fear. I follow the bright lights. Into the dark nights.
A beer stain on a jukebox. A tractor in a field. Fire flies on a screen door. A home cooked meal. . Rolling down a dirt road. Listening to a George Strait song.
Your neck is burned, your body's hurtin'. Boss man's been on your back all day. You're out there in the hot sun workin'. While he's sippin' iced tea in the shade.
All this running nowhere fast. All these faces that I pass. All these souls that don't reach out. Leave me feeling so without. I think you got here just in time.
(Verse 1). I used to believe that things would change but here we go again,. Riding and spinning carousale this circle never ends,. This kitchen table has seen it all before,.
(Tom Shapiro/Chris Waters/Terri Clark). . There's a place I'm going to. Where I'll be over you. And I'm gonna go till I get there. Long as the road don't run out.
Turn on the TV. More crime in the streets. More trouble in the middle east. And fires out west. . Politicians slingin dirt. Got descension in the church.
If this ole heart was built like a truck. These rocky old roads wouldn't be so rough. And if it ever broke down I could patch it up. If this ole heart was built like a truck.
(Terri Clark/Angelo). . I've been looking for a way to fill this empy place. With everything from poetry to love in cyberspace. I contemplate my future, I analyze my past.
I hear the whispers as I walk by. They always start with 'bless her heart'. She's still single and that's such an empty life. She must not be looking all that hard.
He says it's none of my damn bussiness. How much he drinks. And he doesn't have a problem. No matter what the whole town thinks. At his baby's birthday party.
Running my fingers. Slowly through your locks of ebony. Hearing you sing 'Blackbird' in the shower. Just a little bit off key. Ain't that just like me.
The rumor going'round. Is that I haven't shed a tear. But don't they know you can't believe. Everything you hear. 'Cause ever since you left. I've been a master of disguise.
(Terri Clark/Georgia Middleman/Pat Bunch). . I've had love and love's had me. I've been held and been set free. And I have lived enough to know. That you might stay or you might go.
What's goin' on in your head. You haven't heard a word I've said. I think we need to talk. Cause you turn your emotions off. And that's something I don't understand.
(Bob DiPiero/Chris Waters/Terri Clark). . Do you get the feeling. Even when you're not alone. There's a memory. making itself at home. And it don't let loose no matter what you do.
We built a little playhouse. With a front porch swing. A white picket fence. The American dream. . Step by step, stone by stone. And now you're tellin' me.
Love is such a big rush. You wanna hurry it along. 'Cause you can't get close enough. And I know it wouldn't feel wrong. . But it's all right going slowly.
