There's a big old world outside of my door. Ain't gonna sit and watch it spin by no more. 'Cause it ain't slowing down or waiting on me. I'm gonna grab what I can while it's within my reach.
I use to love to walk behind my daddy. As he plowed our garden every spring. Our little bare feet in the dirt would make me happy. As we talked about what harvest time would bring.
Lord, I know I prayed you'd take away the loneliness I knew. My wildest dreams could not conceive the work your hands would do. It feels so good to fall asleep in her arms every night.
this house was built by my gran'paw. built it to stand strong and tall. but my daddy said it's bound to fall. time will take it's toll.
I guess we must have met somewhere. That you were not around. I can't remember why I fell. Why I did not turn her down. . But then I thought about you.
To me she is a beauty queen. I love to watch her on the screen. In our home movies. And when she sings around the house. She's got a voice that knocks me out.
Silly girl. . I tried to write you a love song in the middle of the night. Everything rhymed but it didn't feel quite right. Anyway, that's all we need is another modern day Shakespeare.
In the deep dark hills of Eastern Kentucky. That's the place where I traced my bloodline. And it's there I read on a hillside gravestone. "You'll never leave Harlan alive".
When you know and you will. It wasn't meant to be. When she walks and she will. You're gonna come to me. . When she lies and she will. When all is said and done.
For so long I've been on my own. Trying to find my heart a new home. I'd almost given up. Attempt to spend the years. Withering in sorrow. And drowning in my tears.
It's a long way off from where I should be goin'. And every time I hate to leave your side. But now when I return there's something missin'. When I'm gone you don't seem to miss me.
Most people use money to measure success. The big car they're driving and the way that they dress. If there's someone who loves you you're richer by far.
Well. I gave you my heart and what did you do?. You dragged it around and you broke it in two.. You don't get no more.. You don't get no more.. When you use up my heart.
She left the car in the driveway. She left the key in the door. She left the kids at her Mama's. And the laundry piled up on the floor. . She left her ring on the pillow.
She left the car in the driveway. She left the key in the door. She left the kids at her Mama's. And the laundry piled up on the floor. . She left her ring on the pillow.
When you said you love me. I believed it was true, it was true. And now you say you're leavin'. Now you got me needin' you. You go and say we're through.
The car is runnin' and your bags are packed, I guess that says it all. Your head is hangin' and you look real sad, maybe you should've called. You say you think you need a brand-new start.
You wanted your freedom, well, man look around. Now you're trapped by her memory and the cold hauntin' sound. Of your restless heart, she never could take.
You are so good to me. You got me feelin'. Like I'm happy, I'm lucky. As free as a bird. . You got me feeling like. Love is more than a word. You are so good to me.
If I was a sinner, I tell you what I'd do. I'd quit my sinnin' and I'd work on a building too. I'm workin' on a building, I'm workin' on a building. I'm workin' on a building for my Lord, for my Lord.
