Brother Jukebox, Sister Wine,. Mother Freedom, Father Time.. Since she left me by my self,. you're the only family I've got left.. . I go down to that same old cafe,.
We were all down at Margie's bar. Telling stories if we had one. Someone fired the old jukebox up. The song sure was a sad one. A teardrop rolled down Bubba's nose.
I tossed and turned and tried counting sheep. When will I ever learn how I'll ever sleep. Till you're by my side it's just a waste of time. Ain't no use tryin' to get you off my mind.
I been having a ball since I was a boy in Beaumont. I love that town but I just couldn't stay. Two-stepped all the way to Amarillo. Shuffled my way into Santa Fe.
There's a Bible on the dresser and a sign hung on the door. And a woman in my arms who shouldn't be. I'm to the point of no returning but I've been here before.
(david lott, glenn gorden, mark chesnutt). . It's early may and the summer heat is comin' down. April's gone and my heart is nowhere to be found. Teardrops fall like showers from the sky.
As the honky tonk turns. And the world goes 'round. I'll be sittin' on a bar stool. Pourin' cold ones down. Watchin' hearts get broken. From hard lessons they've learned.
Always knew it, I'd recognize your face. And I rehearsed it, just what I would say. But then I say you and all that I could do. Was just smile. . In your brown eyes the past disappeared.
I used to come in here maybe once or twice a year. But only when I had a good excuse. I'd have one or two, then be on my way. But that's way before she told me we were through.
I stay up late and read a lot at night. Lately she's begun to wonder why. She don't know I'm scared that I'll start talking in my sleep. You're a hard secret to keep.
There was rain on the street last night. We stood beneath the front door light. And everything we said we made sure the neighbors heard. You called me this, I called you that.
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.
One more chance, Lord, Ive had so many. The last time you said next time its the end. But I kept on throwin rocks at the window of our future. Then beggin your forgiveness once again.
You would think after all this time. I wouldn't let you in tonight. That all those feelings for you would be gone. You would think but you'd be wrong.
Out on the highway a lot of pretty girls go by. But none have been right. Up until today I would never settle down. But you keep coming around. . And your love is a miracle.
Woman, sensuous woman. You control the world I'm living in. Woman, sensuous woman. Release my body and let me live again. . Step by step you taught me easy lovin'.
It was a girl's night out and I was sittin' at home. When brother-in-law called me on the phone. He said, Son, let's you and me go steppin' out. I found a little place this girls know nothin' about.
Don't get me wrong, I'm doin' alright. Can't you see I'm okay. I'm not at home all alone every night. I'm out there dancin' old memories away. . [Chorus].
Woman, woman I know you better. Probably even better. Than you even know yourself by now. . Now woman, where do you think you're going?. You know you're not going.
Once in a lifetime, love comes along. And I know it's you that I'm waiting on. And that sweet promise of our first kiss. Keeps me hanging on, through times like this.
