There's a white mark on my hand. Where I wore our wedding band. Had to force myself to lay it down. . So I put it in my drawer. Just can't wear that ring no more.
This ain't hoops, this ain't hopscotch. And this ain't dodge ball in the sandlot. And this ain't cards, it's our hearts we're dealing with now. No more games for me girl, I'm fit to be tied down.
All aboard. The feelin' good train. . It's a long way from here to heaven. It takes a lifetime before you get in. You work so hard just tryin' to make a livin'.
She's been here workin' all summer long. Pumpin' gas for the boats on the Cote Blanche. She's so brown from bein' in the sun all day. And boys from town hang around her pa paw's place.
Your mama used to worry about that big muddy river. Honey do your remember?. You let the screen door slam when you stepped off the front porch. Then your mama calling don't be late.
Cry, cry darlin'. That's what I do. If you'd leave me with the blues. . Cry, cry darlin'. That's all I do. If it's you I should lose. For me there'd be no sunshine.
Cry, cry, darling, that's what I'd do if you'd leave me with the blues. Cry, cry, darling, that's all I'd do if it's you I should lose. For me, there'd be no sunshine if we should ever part.
My baby come and got me in her mama's Cadillac. We went parkin' by the river near the honeydew patch. She started talkin' 'bout the birds and the bees.
I gave a girl a ride in my wagon. Now she crawled in and took control. She was tired as her mind was draggin'. And I said get some sleep, we'll get on down the road.
Well, I ain't Burt Reynolds and I ain't Tom Selleck. I got mules up the pike and my car's an old relic. I get Chevrolet pay but I got a big smile. 'Cause my little baby loves me Cadillac style.
I know how to hold a grudge. I can send a bridge up in smoke. And I can't count the people I've let down. The hearts I've broke. . You ain't gotta dig too deep.
I thought I saw an angel just the other night. Wearin' five inch heels and a dress too tight. Showin' much more than a man should see. Lookin' at her, lookin' back at me.
Well now early one day I was on my way to my favorite fishin hole. I was thinking I could sure use another bottle of booze. My baits a runnin a little low.
Down on the corner, by the traffic light. Everybody's lookin', as she goes by. They turn their heads and they. Watch her till she's gone. . Lord have mercy, baby's got her blue jeans on.
How long have we been the very best of friends?. I've always heard you say, I could tell you anything. Oh, the times I made you laugh, the times I dried your tears.
Hey mister what time does the next bus leave?. I'm a party of one out of Tennessee. I won't be back for a long, long while. Give me eighty-five dollars worth of highway mile.
I saw your car today, it looked like it anyway. Those foreign makes, all look the same. It took me way back to that time when I watched you. Slam the door and drive away.
(Jerry Chesnut). . I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick. On the cigarettes there in the ashtray. Lyin' cold the way you left'em. But at least your lips caressed them while you packed.
They're the talk of the town. Word's going 'round, they've tied the knot. Everybody knows, she's digging for gold. But, she swears she's not. Twenty eight and eighty three.
