Well, I put on my overcoat and shined my walkin' shoes. I've got the sense to get out of the rain. You've got the best of me and I know, I can't win. Well, I've come to recognize that old familiar pain.
Here she comes again, but me and you we're gonna close the door. We won't her in, we're not gonna do it, like we've done before. Stay here with me, keep a steady beat but not to loud.
In a manger filled with hay. The Virgin Mother's baby lay. While shepherds stood trembling at the site. . This child was the King of kings. But God who knows and sees all things.
A dark cloud hangin' out over my head. I woke up this morning to an empty bed. Why she left me is hard to say. Well, is this fate or just a bad day. .
Out of bed and hit the floor a cup of coffee and hit the door. Start the car, wave goodbye, try to get to work on time. Whistle blows, you make it home to see your kids before they're grown.
A mighty prayer went up. An answer came down from above. To save a lonely world God sent His only Son. He came as a baby, quiet as a lamb. . With peace in His heart and us all in His hands.
I've got to look out my back door check and see if the coast is clear. I'm talking to my self and I keep it low making sure that you don't hear. I never know day to day if you feel the same way.
We pulled out of Charlotte, the snow is fallin' down. We make our way in this one-eagle sleigh, till we reach another town. Our name is in lights on the billboard signs, in every town we play.
Love doesn't die, it just stops talkin'. There's no good-bye, you just start walkin'. Out into the chill of the night. Wonderin' if your timin' was right.
Happy birthday Baby Jesus. We just wanted You to know. We still think the whole world of You. Even when it doesn't show. . And all the angels sing. Glory to You, the King.
Girls they sit and listen. and they wink and wiggle. And they like to sing too. in my garage, in my garage band. We're here on a mission. Jammin' with the fellas.
Well, I've been running right behind you. Lord, I'm wearing out my shoes. I been saving up my lovin', saving it for you. Well, it's like trying to build a fire in the rain.
I could not repay in one lifetime. All the love you gave me. You've become such a woman. Still you let me call you baby. . I love you now and I always will.
There are tears in the eyes of the scarecrow. His head is sinking' low. He tends his fields with the best of them. Thinkin' love can make it grow. . But when the landlord says, "It's over".
I'm back on my feet, got it straight in my mind. Don't ask how I'm doing, I'm doing just fine. Now I got it all under control. If I acted much higher then you'd see I'm down so low.
The Rockafellers we know we ain't. And this old house needs a coat of paint. Got a Chevy Impala vintage '73. Some days she can't outrun you or me. Well I know it ain't everything I promised you.
With every twist and turn we take. We'll get out in the passing lane. And we'll go on like two rolling stones. We live and learn with every twist and turn.
There were clouds rollin' in, rain on the wind. There at the end of September. Your sweater was white, it was buttoned up tight. Darlin', you see I remember.
You pull over and I jump in. To your little red Mercedes Benz. Well, I know there's no turning back. Well, I don't even care where we are. I just want to be inside your car.
Pack your bags, it's time to go. The clock down town runs way to slow. Daddy say's, "I'll have to wait". But all we got to do is drive away. . Drive away you and me.
