I call you on the phone but to me you're not at home. Even though your name is still the same as mine. Your thoughts are not of me and everyone can see.
My heart can sing when I pause to remember. A heartache here is but a stepping stone. Along a path that's winding always upward. This troubled world is not my final home.
Unloved unwanted I've never been so blue. I know that I should leave but I don't want to. Unloved unwanted is the life I live with you. I know that I should leave but I don't want to.
Oh the people would come from far away they'd dance all night till the break of day. When the caller hollered do-se-do we knew Uncle Pen was ready to go.
I'm the one who killed slick Willie. I'm here to turn myself in. I'm the one and I don't feel guilty. If I could then I would do it again. There's a friend of my old man.
Some people think that living is better. With bells and whistles and seats made of leather. But I find joy in an old joyride. That needs a jump start every once in a while.
The music stopped. The moment I walked in. Everybody was looking at me. Like I shouldn't have come. . Got the invitation. From the friend of a friend.
It's a first impression. Silence is deceiving. But just around the corner. I can hear. . I can hear you breathe. It's a calm confession. A curious obsession.
Bet you didn't know. You were sacred to me. Like a cathedral rising. High into the blue. Bet you didn't know. All the courage I have came from you. . It was you.
Urgently needed in my emergency. Someone to mend a broken heart. That heart belongs to me. Urgently needed someone to rescue me. Won't someone save a lonely man.
And now, my friends, you've asked me what makes me sad and still. And why my brow is darkened like the clouds upon the hill. Run in your ponies closer and I'll tell to you my tale.
Up in the air when you're with me. Down in the dumps when you're gone. You're out of sight, my day becomes night. Everything seems to go wrong. . I'm like a child when you're with me.
Well you don't want my lovin' but in case you do (in case you do). You don't want my huggin' but in case you do (you do). Let me tell you where I'll be just in case you yoz come a lookin' for me.
Oh my love my darling. I've hungered for your touch. A long lonely time. . Time goes by so slowly. And time can do so much. Are you still mine. . I need your love.
Goodbye my love, goodbye my love. This is goodbye, my love. Try not to cry, my love. Kiss me and miss me, love. Until we meet again. No lips will touch my own.
Now, I'm a U.S. Male 'cause I was born. In a Mississippi town on a Sunday morn.. Now, Mississippi just happens to occupy a place. In the southeastern portion of this here United States..
Fire one up and you toss one down. Everybody knows you been downtown. Been downtown late last night. Busted your head in a barroom fight. Fightin' with your brother fightin' with your wife.
I'm not a king I'm not a saint I'm a man. You're not a queen you're a woman take my hand. We'll make a space in the lives that we planned. And here we'll stay until it's time for you to go.
Don't call my name out your window I'm leavin'. I won't even turn my head. Don't send your kinfolks to give me no talkin'. I'll be gone like I said. You'd say the same old things you been sayin' all along.
Oh they tell me of a home far beyond the skies. Oh they tell me of a home far away. Oh they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise. Oh they tell me of an uncloudy day.
