This ain't hoops, this ain't hopscotch. And this ain't dodge ball in the sandlot. And this ain't cards, it's our hearts we're dealing with now. No more games for me girl, I'm fit to be tied down.
All aboard. The feelin' good train. . It's a long way from here to heaven. It takes a lifetime before you get in. You work so hard just tryin' to make a livin'.
She's been here workin' all summer long. Pumpin' gas for the boats on the Cote Blanche. She's so brown from bein' in the sun all day. And boys from town hang around her pa paw's place.
Your mama used to worry about that big muddy river. Honey do your remember?. You let the screen door slam when you stepped off the front porch. Then your mama calling don't be late.
Cry, cry darlin'. That's what I do. If you'd leave me with the blues. . Cry, cry darlin'. That's all I do. If it's you I should lose. For me there'd be no sunshine.
Cry, cry, darling, that's what I'd do if you'd leave me with the blues. Cry, cry, darling, that's all I'd do if it's you I should lose. For me, there'd be no sunshine if we should ever part.
My baby come and got me in her mama's Cadillac. We went parkin' by the river near the honeydew patch. She started talkin' 'bout the birds and the bees.
I gave a girl a ride in my wagon. Now she crawled in and took control. She was tired as her mind was draggin'. And I said get some sleep, we'll get on down the road.
Look, about my business, 'bout my grind. I'm livin' life because I'm runnin' out of time. It ain't nothing to a king, but it's hard work. Wanna be relaxin' in a condo when I'm older.
Well, I ain't Burt Reynolds and I ain't Tom Selleck. I got mules up the pike and my car's an old relic. I get Chevrolet pay but I got a big smile. 'Cause my little baby loves me Cadillac style.
I'll take ya higher. Ain't no limits when you are around. I'll take you higher. There's no reason for you to feel down. I'll take you higher. When you're lost in the clouds I'll be waiting right here.
I know how to hold a grudge. I can send a bridge up in smoke. And I can't count the people I've let down. The hearts I've broke. . You ain't gotta dig too deep.
Where did you come from baby?. Where have you been?. I been running around this world and I just can't win. They're not made like you anymore, you're one of a kind.
I thought I saw an angel just the other night. Wearin' five inch heels and a dress too tight. Showin' much more than a man should see. Lookin' at her, lookin' back at me.
Well now early one day I was on my way to my favorite fishin hole. I was thinking I could sure use another bottle of booze. My baits a runnin a little low.
Uh yeah it all started when I saw you out in LA. Had to get it crackin' while you backed it up like valè. Yeah uh girl you know you got that somethin' special.
Woke up on the balcony. Face up to the sky with the sun lookin' down at me. Standin' up and lookin' out I see. These houses in hills, it's a dream life reality.
Down on the corner, by the traffic light. Everybody's lookin', as she goes by. They turn their heads and they. Watch her till she's gone. . Lord have mercy, baby's got her blue jeans on.
