My mountain is a mole hill. My throne's a busted chair. This crown has turn to rust. And it's all tangled in my hair. This high horse that I ride on. Is gonna buckle at the knee.
(Chorus). Lord don't you walk with a little. Sawin' on a fiddle and the crying of a steel guitar. Coming from the heart and soul. Born and bred in the ole Lone Star.
G C. He starts to think when she winks that he's somewhere he shouldn't be. G D. He may be alone but at home someone's wearing his ring. G C. So he heads for the door and ignores the devil on his shoulder.
He's wrinkled and gray but he's still got the fire. And he sings on the stage like a bird on a wire. He'll pack 'em in just like he always did. Everybody loves the honky tonk kid.
He wanted someone who loves the land as much as he does. Someone who knows the blessin' of a good hard rain. Somebody simple and strong that he knows he can count on.
First kiss I thought I died and gone to heaven. In the parking lot of that old 7/11. I filled up a truck,. I went in to pay when I walked out. she was with him smilin' as she drove away.
I heard someone out poking fun. At the ol' country boy and the songs that he sung. Still cracking jokes he sarcastically implied. Let me guess your girls gone and your dog just died,.
She keeps it all together. I always come unwound. She's cool calm and collected. I wanna paint the town. She's like a Sunday morning. I'm a dancehall Saturday night.
He calls from a hotel in downtown Dallas. Says he won't be home for three more days. She gets so lonely in her Houston hill top palace. Talking to her self as their two-year-old plays.
Well I was thumbing through the channels. And I saw a sight to see. A so-called country singer, there singing on MTV. And I began to think - had she ever heard a thing.
"Oh don't you dare look back.. Just keep your eyes on me.". I said, "You're holding back, ". She said, "Shut up and dance with me!". This woman is my destiny.
With the world in the palm of his hands. Slipping through his fingers just like grains of sand. He don't know his hourglass is losing time. Till she run out of patience and leaves him far behind.
We'd walk up and down the Concho River. We'd find a soft place to watch the sun go down. So was it me or was it what I could not give you. She left me shattered, my life scattered all around.
We pull into town, try to find the fairgrounds. Park this Cadillac out back, behind the loading chutes. Finally made the big show, traveling with the rodeo.
I've had one of those days. Good for nothin kinda days. I've had hard luck, bad luck, and no luck at all. Girl I need you to be. My soft place to fall.
I still think about us. In the rush that we felt. With the rag top down and the radio blasting. You were riding shot gun. In nothing but a bikini and a seat belt.
I got a letter from your lawyer. And you got one from mine. They say It's gonna be final. Once we sign that dotted line. . We'll I guess we'll get our freedom.
With Her Little One In One Arm. And The Laundry In The Other. She Sure Could Use A Helping Hand. But Thats The Life Of A Single Mother. . Somebody's Calling On The Phone.
Pinch me i must be dreamin wakin up with you and feelin the tender touch of your good morning kiss nowhere else on earth is better than bein next to you next to heaven it doesn't get any better than this.
