Looking back. At the dead ends and the detours. All I can do is long for a straighter line. Yeah, I was lost. I had no way of knowin'. Where the twists and turns were goin'.
It must have been a mountain standing in our way. Or some small misunderstanding. We talked about too late. Was it the kitchen or the bedroom. Where we let a good thing go.
I found a silver bracelet in my backseat. That you left, it seems like yesterday. It's like I found a treasure when I held it. How could I have ever let her get away.
Worked all week. Cleaned up, clean cut, and clean shaved. I got the cover off a '68. Fire it up, and let them horses sing. . A little pretty thing. A little tan-legged Georgia dream.
I drove half way to town last night. And I turned around. In a field of fireflies makin' such a lonely sound. As my headlights flashed on a mailbox by the road.
It seems like money,. Is always on our minds these days,. Make more spend more,. Worry how the bills will get paid,. Oh it wasn't that long ago,. But it seems so far away,.
Going through my closet the other day. Found an old yearbook, flipped right to the page. Of that senior trip down there on that Panama strip. We all started yelling when we smelled the beach.
You're a crack-of-dawn, Monday-morning, coffee strong. Poured everything you got into a paycheck Friday night. . You're a plow with stroke diesel, backhoe-riding king of beers, 18-wheeler.
This life is full of choices,. Hard to make one all the voices,. In my head,. Those blue eyes I'm in love with,. Or that highway which ever I pick,. There'll be regrets,.
Got our headlights circled, Chevrolet. Saturday night at a river bank. Silver bullets popping, got the speakers rocking. A feel good song that'll take you back.
I knew the man that picked you up. It was gonna be a wild ride. You kissed me like you couldn't have enough. Barely made it out of the U drive. Burn a little rubber at the red light,.
I can hear that rooster crowing down the road,. I felt my eyes open up real slow. and I looked around making sure I hadn't checked out.. Because there was an angel lying next to me.
I walk a hard line winding road. Don't really know where it's gonna go. Seems like trouble's my best friend. Soon as I get out I'm back in again. It's a wonder I ain't all alone.
Quit my job flipped off the boss took my name off the payroll.. (screw you man). Picked up my cell rang my baby's bell said I'm three miles from home..
Wasn't a stone I didn't throw. When I wrecked it. My foolish words so cruel and cold. We're disconnected. Tell me why, when she cried. All I did was close my eyes.
I'm a blue collar man had a hammer in my hand. For the last few years of my life. Working double overtime. While you sleep alone at night. Baby I know it's been a long hard ride.
Twelve gauge, old Ford, buckshot floorboard, don't ask. Fence post, door dent, let's just leave it at that. It's got dirt on me, yeah I'd be up a tree.
When I passed that city limit sign. I knew that I was finally on my own. So I put my foot down on the gas. To see how fast those wheels could get me going.
Nobody ever thought I'd make it in this town. They all said I should leave my truck packed and turn right back around. They said I didn't have what it takes,.
If it's gonna happen, then it's gonna happen. That's just the way that it is. Oh love comes along and it dont take long. Till it slips through my fingertips.
