Like a desert, so smooth. So calm, like velvet. Like wire, so taut. So stretched, like steel. The surface is rippling. And straining and cracking. From within.
Down comes Moses with the Ten Commandments. Hewn on a tablet, just the bitterest pill. Breaks up the party in the valley below. Says obey my orders and you're doing God's will.
The caravan flipped over two, three times. Went spinning down the carriageway. Breaking up into splinters. Wheels turning around in the dust at the foot of the hill.
See the lines in my face,. There's one for every day. I've lived without you. And held you only in my mind. . See these hands how they shake,. How long will it take.
You say you don't know where to start. Telling me is breakin' your heart. It's not that you don't care for me. It's just that you're not in love anymore.
Well it sure feels good to come in here,. And just pull up a seat.. A frosty mug of a cool one,. Helps to beat the heat.. These old dog days of summer,.
Too Cold At Home. Mark Chesnutt. . Well, it sure feels good to come in here. And just pull up a seat. A frosty mug of a cool one. Helps to beat the heat.
You're gonna get me into trouble. I knew it right off the bat. You're gonna get me into trouble. If you keep lookin' like that. . Well, I may be alone, but there's someone at home.
Door knob in one hand. Suitcase in the other. And I don't love you rollin' off her tongue. Words ripped right through me. Tore a hole in my heart. Could've hurt me a lot less with a gun.
Been too long. Since I traveled down. That ole gravel road. On the north end of town. And I need a taste. Of the good ole days gone. So tonight I let my memory.
I'm standin' with somethin' in my hand. That don't look too flower like. She slammed the pretty part. In the door jam, left me and the stems outside. .
I worked myself to the bone. Tired as a man can get. It's the only way that I know. Might help me to forget. I lay me down. And I pray my soul to keep.
We gathered with the lawyer for the reading of the will. Mama sat there quietly between all of us kids. Then he opened up the papers. And my father's words were read.
I know it?s late, and its a lot to ask of you.. I know that you been working.. Hey I?m tired too.. You probably thought that last call would be the last..
The king of broken hearts doesn't ask much from his friends. And he has quite a few of them. They know he'll understand. That's just the way it goes..
The Lord loves the drinkin' man.. He sends honky-tonk angels to the Promised Land,. I hear that he can turn water to wine.. Any man that can do that, oh he's good friend of mine..
Last night I dreamed I went to sleep for good. And in the crowd that gathered ?round, there you stood. When it finally came your turn to say goodbye. Right then and there, I watched you break down and cry.
I never claimed to know everything. I ain't got no PHD. But boys listen up when it comes to love. You can learn a thing or two from me. . I'm no expert on making love work.
Lucky me, I grew up. Beneath that ol' lone star. I was raised on fiddle and steel guitar. It used to be if you wanted to swing. To a good ol' country song.
Last night I came home again. Three sheets to the wind. And broke the promise I swore I'd never break. And it came as no surprise. To see the hurt in her eyes.
