I woke up in the night and saw the moonlight shinin' through my windows. I sat up and looked around startled by the sound I thought I'd heard. Through the silver hills high above the treetops where the wind blows.
Well I'm making big money a workin' at Bethlehem Steel. And I drive a big car and I look like a pretty big wheel. But I'd rather be home now a plowin' a Tennessee field.
I had to pack it up, yeah I just wasn't worth a dime today. Boss won't miss me much, hell I wasn't really there anyway. Yeah I've been lost in your arms and your touch and your kiss.
Everybody watching you. Walking through the door. You don't even notice me. It makes me want you more. The earth is rushing through my veins. Moonlight on the window pane.
Standin' here, on this old familiar porch. I know this welcome mat ain't meant for me. I can't believe you even opened up the door. You always were much too kind to me.
When you came in the air went out.. And every shadow filled up with doubt.. I don't know who you think you are,. But before the night is through,. I wanna do bad things with you..
I been up and down this lonely town. Never found what I was needing. Running out of leads and possibilities. Never thought I'd see just what I'm seeing.
Gregious is a needy woman washed in the blood. To lead me down that straight and narrow way. Mama says, I need a girl who'll settle down. Have a son to carry on my family name.
Late at night and all I can do. Is walk these streets and think of you.. Time goes by but not for me,. So easy to preach, but hard to believe.. I'm damned if I do.
Heywood was a daddy in 1942. He couldn't read or make his letters. He said, "Boy, I hope you don't do like I did". And that was my dad he was talking to.
When you came in the air went out. And every shadow filled up with doubt. I don't know who you think you are. But before the night is through. I wanna do bad things with you.
Well, you told me that you wished that things had not,. Turned out this way.. You never thought there'd come a time,. When you would go away.. But you stayed right here beside me,.
I will twine and will mingle my raven black hair. With the roses so red and the lilies so fair. And the myrtle so bright with an emerald hue. The pale emanita and hyssop so blue.
The snowflakes fall as winter comes and time just seems to fly. Is it the loneliness in me that makes me want to cry?. My heart is sad, like a mourning dove that's lost its mate in flight.
To Canaan's land, I'm on my way. where the soul of man never dies. and my darkest nights will turn to day. where the soul of man never dies. . And dear friend there will be no sad farewell's.
When my mornin' comes around, no one else will be there. so I won't have to worry about what I'm supposed to say. and I alone will know that I climbed that great big mountain.
Look at you, look at me. My heart breaks, as I read our sad story. . Never thought that I'd be. Here with you wishing I was free. I never dreamed today would come.
In a lonely room, waiting for the night to fall. I hear your voice in every whippoorwill that calls. and it takes me back to a better place and a sweeter time.
The wheels of love turn around and around. Keep on rolling till you've found. the perfect partner, somebody just right. to have and hold every day and every night.
If anyone could find the joy. That true love brings a girl and boy. We could, we could you and I. . If anyone could ever say. Their true love was here to stay.
