Long ago and far away. In my ol' common labor shoes. I turned the world all which a way. Just because you asked me to. . Like unto no other. Feel simple love is simple true.
I've spent a lifetime making up my mind to be. More than the measure of what I thought others could see. Good luck and fast bucks are too far and too few between.
When the way seems dark and long. Hold to my hand dear Lord I pray. Give me grace to shout and shine. Ever in the life divine. Lord lead me on from day to day.
My lonely heart was waitin'. You came right on time. You soon had me believin'. True love was on your mind. You took me straight to heaven. I thought we had it made.
Well the honky-tonks in Texas were my natural second home. Where you tip your hats to the ladies and the rose of San Antone. I grew up on music that we called western swing.
It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart. Without saying a word, you can light up the dark. Try as I may, I could never explain. What I hear when you don't say a thing.
I've seen hard times and I've been told. There isn't any wonder that I fall. Why do we suffer, crossing off the years. There must be a reason for it all.
Two highways lay before me, which one will I choose. Down one lane I'd find happiness and down the other I would lose. There is no one that I can trust, I must decide alone.
New Favorite. They all say it. I'll say it too. You've got a new favorite. . You're old standby. Your right hand guy. Is nothing new. You've got a new favorite.
Yesterday the odds were stacked. In favor of my expectations. Flyin' above the rest,. Never fallin' from the nest. Tuesday came and went. And now I'm in a little situation.
Oh my Lord, Please don't forsake me. This is your child, I'm tired and sore. Oh my Lord, can you hear me?. I need your love, my soul is poor. . I can hear, the angels singing.
I'm waiting tonight, for you to tell me,. Do you still love me and will you remain?. My heart is breakin' with each passing hour. Please don't let me love you in vain.
Look at the sky, baby. What do you see?. Looks like the tears that I cry. Fallin' down like rain on the ground. Every time you say goodbye. . Take a look around now.
This old house is falling down around my ears. I'm drowning in a river of my tears. When all my will is gone you hold me sway. I need you at the dimming of the day.
Out on the hills of glory land. So happy and free at God's right hand. They tell of a place of marvelous grace. On heaven's bright shore. Pilgrims on earth someday will go.
The big moon is risin' so bright in the sky. But it won't shine brighter than the stars in your eyes. It rises above me so bright and so blue. And I won't see anyone, as lovely as you.
As I went down in the river to pray. Studying about that good old way. And who shall wear the starry crown. Good Lord, show me the way!. . O sisters, let's go down,.
When years seem like days to me. No time on my hands. I run away to a place in me. To a faraway land. . When home seems so far from me. Heaven's lights look dim.
I grew up in the scantling yards of Wheeling, West Virginia. A wheelhouse cub looking for an open door. In the packet ways a Sweeney wed the keel of my Bonita.
I stood on faith and the corner of ambition. I came here to sink or swim. And to show them all that they were wrong. And though I never thought I'd make it this far.
