Wild flowers along the road. Are pretty to the eye. Make a lovely spray then they start to dry. You and I we sure had our fun. Our moment in the sun. The party rages on til the spirits gone.
A million dollar face. So ivory and fair. That launched a thousand ships. Danced with Fred Astaire. Lusted for her dreams. So passionate and wild. So talented it seemed.
A stormy summer came and went. In the garden that we grew back then. I remember when. . The single rose you gave to me. With a vow that you would never leave.
There is a place inside of me. Where you are not suppose to be. Are you listening. Somehow you slip inside the walls. That's when my rusted armor falls.
So you say your new girlfriend's a little too friendly. You caught her telling one more lie, one too many. You say she won't love you right, she stays out so late at night.
You caught my eye without trying. You stole my heart away. From clear across the room. . Somehow it was plain, you felt the same. Looking back now we can't say.
Oh how you sparkle. And oh how you shine. That flush on your cheeks. Is more than the wine. And he must do something. That I didn't do. whatever he's doing.
It's a big job just gettin' by with nine kids and a wife. I been a workin' man dang near all my life. I'll be working long as my two hands are fit to use.
On a hill far away stood an Old Rugged Cross. The emblem of suffering and shame. And I love that old cross where the dearest and best. For a world of lost sinners was slain.
Well I'm a runnin' down the road. Tryin' to loosen my load. I've got seven women on my mind. Four that wanna own me. Two that wanna stone me. One says she's a friend of mine.
I don't need a whole lots of money. I don't need a big fine car. I got everything that a man could want. I got more than I could ask for. I don't have to run around.
She rose out of bed, wipes the sleep out of her eyes. I know she's bound to be tired, but she looks so satisfied. We stayed up a little late last night.
I've got her photograph. On a stand by my bed. Two on the mantel. And thousands in my head. I can't believe how fast she's growing. It ain't suppose to be like this.
I'm a believer. There's a song in me that's begging to be heard. Yes, I'm a dreamer. Hanging on to hope for everything it's worth. So I skipped a few meals and slept in my car.
I keep a close, close watch on this heart of mine. I keep my eyes wide open all the time. I keep the ends out for each tie that binds. Because you're mine, I walk the line.
Man, I've been workin too hard. Ten hour days and I'm tired. Damn this knuckle busted',. back breakin', no paying job. Know where I'm goin from here. Hot headed women, cold beer.
Pardon me, but I think you're the one love. That I've been waiting on for so long. Pardon me, could we walk in the moonlight. Just to sit there and find right or wrong?.
Once in life, you'll meet someone who gives to you. The reason for that life is what some love can do. So now I'm armed for troubled time with all I knew.
Where the Mississippi's flowing on the sunny southern shores. And the steamboat comes a-puffing round the bend. There's a little old log cabin with a grape vine over the door.
No matter what I say or do. I just can't seem to get inside your heart. What have I done wrong?. Lately you're so far away. You just don't seem to hold me like you used to.
