I never kissed a girl in public. Or even held her hand. You got me walkin' arm and arm. And feelin' like I'm the man. I don't care who is watchin' I can hear somthin' deep down in.
I met a little girl and she liked me. She kissed me soft and I gave her my ring. Love was new and things were lookin' up. So I put her name on the front of my truck.
Past the fields of his dreams all the cars drove. Ninety to nothin' towards town. He'd wave and he'd watch and he'd wonder. Then the dust would all settle back down.
We still bop and our cars run hot, we're out cuttin' the fool. We're tearin' the town, got the top laid down like we're back in school. I got a white sport coat and blue suede shoes.
You can wind up empty handed at the altar all alone. Or you can rob a bank in San Antone. She just rambled on a drinking, staring at her ring. She look at me and said, "I just came here to ease the pain".
I've been lettin' all my friends take my mind off all the troubles. They've all been glad to help me out for a while. But your memory steps in and I'm turnin' back the pages.
I can see you've thrown my old slippers out the door. And once again, I'll hide 'em like I've done those times before. Honey, they just got to where they're feelin' good.
Oh, what a night in Bethlehem. Something's going on in Bethlehem. Gonna head that way, gonna check it out. And see what all this fuss is about in Bethlehem.
Look where we are. Traveled all around our hearts. To get back to the start. The road's not easy. But it kept on leading you and me. Till we could see.
Look at us now, livin' on the edge of it's all over. I'm wondering how we got to be this way at all. Hearts on the line, got us lookin' in both directions.
Nothing to say but I keep on talking. Nowhere to go but I keep walking anyway. Night and day, it's been this way. Since the day I found you. It's getting worse every time I'm around you.
Woke up this morning and the sun refused to shine. Looked everywhere tryin' to find that gal of mine. I just found an ice cold pillow. Layin' by me side.
Your lookin' lonely and only the lonely would know. You're thinking far from here would be an ideal place you could go. But the stars on the water, dancin' from the sky.
I saw a black man with a bible and a sparkler in his hand. He was holding a tent revival and running a firework stand. He said, "The end of the world is coming, so you better get on your knees.
You come into this world, your daddy's girl. And your mama's little baby. Was a time I could see nothing left for me. 'Til you got me thinking maybe. .
Well, I get suspicious, girl and I guess I shouldn't be. Your dressin' up to kill is killin' me. When you start turnin' heads, it turns me inside out.
Well, I spent a lifetime lookin' for you. Singles bars and good time lovers are never true. Playin' a fool's game and hopin' to win. And tellin' those sweet lies and losin' again.
Alone in her room. Got on his favorite perfume. But she's goin' nowhere. She took a chance. . And saved the last dance. Oh but he doesn't care. She's a lonely girl.
A reckless heart was beatin'. In that restless girl of mine. And I was thinkin' that she'd be alright. . That train has been around. And now it finally crossed her mind.
Oh little town of Bethlehem how still we see thee lie. Above thy deep and dreamless sleep a thousand stars go by. Yet in thy dark street shineth the everlasting light.
