Have you ever rode a dirt road with the windows rolled down. Smelling that honeysuckle vine. Riding for no reason and you're lookin' not seeing. A house but every few miles.
Hey, hey now. Don't you wanna come down. bring your guitar. here we play music with our own sound. a lot of our friendship and music's been born and bred right here in our backyard at the pickin' shed.
I've got a cold beer in my right hand. In my left I got my weddin' band. I've been wearin' it 'round now for way too long. And I'm more than ready to see it gone.
Hey baby, let's jump in your truck. We'll ride and watch for lightnin' bugs. We'll ride with the windows let down. There's nowhere else I'd rather be right now.
I'm not tryin' to start anything. by comin' up to you tonight. I know that he's yours now. it's sinkin' in with time. But tonight I've had to much to drink.
I've gotta pocket full of money I shouldn't spend. To drink him away again. My heart stops cold in my chest. There he is in the back of the bar lookin' his best.
I ain't supposed to wanna do alotta drinkin'. 'Least that's what a lot of folks keep thinkin'. I ain't supposed to stay out till all hours of the mornin'.
The word is "faithful," look it up. It don't mean sneakin' around behind my back. Like you ain't gettin' enough. . How 'bout "forever". Just look it up.
Ive got a baby at home, a to do list a mile long. And husband who comes home each night. I do the laundry I cook and clean its my responsibility. And Im usually in the bed by nine.
She sat in her hospital bed. Drawin pictures of the sky. And through all of the pain she felt. She had never asked why. But when the doctor walked in.
Katie Queen. Of Tennessee. I'm on my knees. Unworthy. . What shall be. Our destiny. To find true love or tragedy. . If you see me runnin'. Through the streets I'm calling.
I still recall. The awful clanging of those wedding bells. I prayed your Billy would go straight to hell. That Sunday morning. . Yes I did compete. With the heart of a fool but I must retreat.
They say men and women are worlds apart. With neither one willing to travel that far. But Ive never bought into psychological stuff. And never claimed to be a bonafied genius.
He had a stroke in'95. They thought it best that he reside in a nursing home. His family vowed they'd never leave him. Last time they came to see him was three years ago.
Just how far does the universe go?. Does it ever end? You say you wanna know. Just how high can you count. Before the numbers all run out?. . Who built the pyramids? Do aliens exist?.
I'm gonna raise the Titanic. Sail across the Atlantic. And this time it ain't gonna sink. . I'm gonna sit here in this chair. With this beer and declare.
Crank it. . Where she grew up there ain't no roads. Out in the sticks where the ginseng grows. She's float down the river to get to school. Then her daddy come get her on an old pack mule.
I can chop wood from dusk till dawn. I can swing a hammer till the daylight's gone. I can build a barn, I can make a home with these two hands. But if I didn't have all your love I'd be half a man.
This year my fathers heros have all passed. Reagan, Waylon, June & Johny Cash. I have felt the earth deep in my bones. Are these growing pains or shifting stones?.
I still see my brother, Michael. Pressed and polished, shaking hands down at the store. Everyone had come to see. The all star hop the greyhound bus and go to war.
