What good is the scheming, the planning and dreaming. That comes with each new love affair. The dreams that we cherish, so often might perish. And leaves you with castles in air.
Well, I walked down Broadway, smile on my face. Nashville has music all over the place. Honky tonks line the streets. Man, it's a symphony of big dreams and dive bars.
Listen to the melody entrancing. Blending in a soft and sweet refrain. As around the floor, dear, we are dancing. Swaying to a fascinating strain. . Sweet music soft and mellow.
I was a hum-drum person. Leading a life apart. When love flew in through my window wide. And quickened my hum-drum heart. Love flew in thorough my window.
I woke up this mornin', feelin' round for my shoes. Know 'bout 'at I got these, old walkin' blues. Woke up this mornin', feelin' round for my shoes. But you know 'bout 'at I, got these old walkin' blues.
For all your worried weaknesses,. All will be revealed. And for all your troubled sweetnesses,. Your troubles will be healed. . Close your eyes,. Close your eyes (oh, now).
I was born in Chicago at nineteen and forty-one. I was born in Chicago at nineteen and forty-one. Well, my father told me. "Son, you had better get a gun".
Where are you?. Where have you gone without me?. I thought you cared about me. Where are you?. . Where's my heart?. Where is the dream we started?. I can't believe we parted.
You thought when you had left me. That you'd really tear me apart. But what you did not understand. Is that you really didn't own my heart. . You went out and did everything.
Maybe you got soft. Flew out the door on the breeze. Maybe you just got lost. On the way back home.. On the way back home to me.. Maybe we're just pretending.
When I was younger. I thought of caring. As a reason for some to praise me, in envy. "So humble and kind". "No better person". Now that I'm older I've seen what I've been.
Mother, mother. There's too many of you crying. Brother, brother, brother. There's far too many of you dying. You know we've got to find a way. To bring some lovin' here today, yea.
When I see your face the whole world's erased,. And I know this place is my home.. When I see your smile, I know all the while,. I am home, I am home..
I made you a present, you'll never expect it. And when you unravel the secret will travel. It's hard to take risks with a pessimist. I hope that this shaking will help us awaken.
It's complicated, it always is. That's just the way it goes. Feels like I've waited so long for this. I wonder if it shows?. . Head under water, now I can't breath.
[Verse 1]. You know I neva had time for the he say she say,. Cats act breezay I put em on the 3-way,. Coupes be coming, looking like a relay,. Don't catch it now, get it on the replay,.
I was a hum-drum person. Leading a life apart. When love flew in through my window wide. And quickened my hum-drum heart. Love flew in thorough my window.
Hey, what the hell was on your mind that day'. I heard the wind outside your father's car. And felt the weight of life. . Now, I try to get inside your head somehow.
I love the blues,. They tell my story,. If you don't feel it you can never understand. So many times I thought about it. And now I know just what it means to be a man.
So you think the girl is crazy. To eat up your lies like it's good. (Your lies like apple pie). (She don't even cry). She is not a fool. She's just tryin' to do what her heart says to.
