Well, I've been swinging through these swinging doors for. Goin' on probably about 9 years now, maybe even 10. And I watch old Joe at the end of the bar.
I'd probably go fishin' a whole lot more. Spend every summer some Mexico shore. And I'd lie there with nothing but nothing in mind. . And I'd probably go catchin' them big city blues.
My daddy used to sing about a preacher man. Who lost his wife, she was his whole life. He kissed me then he took me in with his old guitar. Man that second verse, I hung on every word.
You broke my heart so many times. I can't count the pieces. Everytime you push me down. It seems my strength increases. How many times do you have to cry.
You were raised on an asphalt farm. Ain't never heard a rooster crow. Never walked barefoot by a river. Felt the mud up between your toes. . You never rolled in the hay.
Hung over. Sunburnt. I get it Lord. Lesson almost learned. I'll get there. Give me one more night. Yeah I know I know I know I've told ya three hundred thousand ninety-four times.
Well, baby, there's more stars out here than I can count. Oh, but if I could, I'd pull 'em down. And I'd keep the few that match the ones there in your eyes.
Time goes by, you can't get it back. It's a one-way ride, you gotta make it last. Ain't nobody got no plans to settle down. All we're thinkin' 'bout is right here and right now.
Girl I know they just sat down your drink. And the band they just started to sing. Our friends will be here any minute now. We were supposed to party, we're gonna hang out.
I drove 90 miles an hour comin' to pick you up. watching nothin but gravel flyin' in a cloud of dust. When I saw you coming out the door. my heart was jumpin out of my chest.
Girl I finally got you up in the seat of my old truck. And I bet you're wonderin' what we're gonna do. We could hit the county line, hell we do that all the time.
We don't turn out the lights. Cause the party's never over. We stare down the sun. Make it rise a little slower. . While everyone else is fast asleep.
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.

Have you looked around, have you heard the sound. Mama's cryin'. Or do you turn away when you see the face. Of the innocent dyin'. . In these darkest days are you not afraid.
Starin' at my life through a roll down window. Reminiscing those main street nights. with the radio loud. just like I did when I was a kid. I was cool as hell.
Normally this time of night you wouldn't find me here. I'd be reaching for a good night kiss instead of one more beer. I'd never take a second look at the blonde across the bar.
Your love is a drug. That I just can't get off of my shoulders. There's never enough. And I am the junkie that it's taken over. . I've never tasted something so pure.
Well I don't do things like I used to. Well I don't stay gone like I used to. Well I don't drop the ball, let everything go wrong. No I don't do things like I used to.
It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart. Without saying a word, you can light up the dark. Try as I may I can never explain. . What I hear when you don't say a thing.
