Me and Bill there we both come from Georgia. Met Hank out in New Mexico. We're bound for Duranqo to join Pancho Villa. We hear that he's payin' in gold.
It doesn't get any lonelier than this. I believe my heart'll break. Tonight I prayed I'd die before I wake. With every breath I'm tastin' your kiss. And it's sweet upon my tongue.
Bound down that long, lonesome highway just as far as I can go. Til I outrun your memory. I can't go home cause I can't face another day alone. Now that you're gone this ain't no place for me.
Hey little guy, I can't believe you answered the phone. I guess I didn't know you could do that. Lord help me, have I been gone that long. Now, I'm in a truck stop somewhere on the Arkansas line.
Leroy was a farmer and an honest man. Would have lived in Oklahoma all his days. He just wanted left alone to work a piece of land. But a hard wind come and blew his dreams away.
I'm just an American boy raised on MTV. And I've seen all those kids in the soda pop ads. But none of 'em looked like me. So I started lookin' around for a light out of the dim.
I woke up this mornin' and none of the news was good. And death machines were rumblin' 'cross the ground where Jesus stood. And the man on my TV told me that it had always been that way.
I didn't know. You'd be in this place tonight. Then again I thought you might. Now I don't know what to do. Does it show. When my poor heart skips a beat.
I'm looking through you,. Where did you go?. I thought I knew you,. What did I know?. You don't look different, but you have changed. I'm looking through you, you're not the same.
I been watchin you watchin me. I could feel your eyes from way across the room. But now that Im holdin you close I can see. Aint no way Im gonna get around you.
It's been a while. But we're so happy. Yeah, we're so happy. Uh huh. To wash our feet off. To hang upside down. Uh huh. . To call someone out. Just to come out here.
Right before you go to bed. I'll still be buzzed around, just like you said. And we'll get down to the end. We drink on the job. . Our heads are set up and too tired as hell.
No, you don't remember. the town where you were born. . cause they never no no never. opened up the doors. . in a dream that you were dreaming. they'll open them for sure.
When I'm walkin' these streets. And I'm countin' my steps. And I'm draggin' my feet. 'Cause I ain't ready yet. To start all over again. 'Cause every time that I do.
you said buying time is useless. when all of the loose ends. get you tied up in knots. it isn't a question. but more a suggestion. that you're supposed to move on.
Baby it's a cold hard world out there. Broken hearted people everywhere. Takin' whatever love they get. I don't wanna wind up like that, so. . (Chorus).
Sitting at a traffic light. I've waited on one thousand times. It suddenly occurred to me. That you were never gonna tell me. . Tell me. (repeat to fade).
In the blink of an eye. Stars'll fall from the sky. No one even notices. If you think it'll help. I can walk out myself. And we won't have to go through this.
we'll take the long way. the roads and highways home. fall through the middle. get to where nothing's wrong. . you fell asleep there. a place to rest your head.
I wish I'd never come back home. It don't feel right since I've been grown. I can't find any of my old friends hangin' 'round. Won't nothin' bring you down like your hometown.
