Sign said cold beer, I pulled in there. Pulled up a chair, to have just one. Now my head hurts, got this sun burn. Oh what on earth, have I done. . How'd I wind up in Jamaica.
I stayed up thinking late last night. Do they have a way to count the stars?. There's a lot of scientific minds. That claim to know what all the answers are.
Two buttons on her blouse open. Along with the windows, hopin'. She might catch an evenin' breeze. Oh, yeah. . Ice cube down her neck drippin'. Oh, my look where it's slippin'.
I could tell she was a hot rod. When she walked in all alone. Made a pit stop at the front bar. In a puff of smoke was gone. . I followed her smell of perfume.
I'm face to face with an angel. How'd you get those eyes so blue?. You're a vision in white, and I've been waitin' all night. Just to have one dance with you.
(mark nesler). . It's cold this time of year and the people in this city make it colder. They've all forgotten what it means to lend a hand or cry on a shoulder.
Don't believe in the lies you told. you will never die with a heart of gold. stop pretending to be so brave. there'll be no diamonds within your grave.
It's cold this time of year. And the people in this city make it colder. They've all forgotten what it means. To lend a hand or cry on a shoulder. In this land of opportunity.
Have a good one, she told me as she walked away. What a fine time to tell me to have a nice day. She's gone now but the words she said still linger on and on.
You packed up all my clothes. And put 'em by the door. Is this your way of telling me. I don't live here anymore?. . You've gone and called a cab. And told me where to go.
A little lady standin' next to me. Isn't she a pretty thing?. I'm the one who put that ring on her left hand. . Another fella can tip his hat. And I'm as gentle as a pussycat.
The kind of love that I've been lookin' for. I'm not sure they make it anymore. It's easy to fall for a pretty smile. It works real good for a while 'til the new wears off.
It's an everyday battle. Just tryin' to break even. No, there ain't no gettin' ahead. When you're just gettin' by. . But she's standin' on the front porch.
Everybody has a gift that's given to them. When they come into this life. Something they can do better than others. And never really have to try. For the longest time I didn't know what I was born to do.
Whenever I go out. Anywhere in town. I look for a crowd. Where you're not hangin' 'round. Say that I won't give. Your memory any room. But every time I do.
All at once here I am in this barroom. Oh and most any night I'd be home. But those old thoughts of her are beginning to stir. I need to be anywhere but alone.
He's driving me out of your mind. You're goin' crazy over him, I see the signs. He won't leave you alone, he's with you all the time. Driving me out of your mind.
Well it's Friday evenin' six o'clock. And all my friends are twistin' off. I'm at the house just turnin' on TV. And they all wonder why I've changed. How many times must I explain.
I can't say looking back right now just where our love went wrong. But the hard cold fact is she's not here she's gone. Made me a promise she'd be true till the rivers all ran dry.
Well, I said, friend. Don't take her, she's all I've got. Please don't take her love away from me. Now, I'm begging you, friend. Don't take her, she's all I've got.
