I thought I knew what I was doing. I was wrong. Mistakes I've made and lived to tell. I tell them in a song. . I knew a river wide and deep. Her banks were very tall.
I know what you're feeling inside. Hunger that can cut like a knife. I can see the wanting in you. I know 'cause I'm feeling it too. But I don't want you tonight.
Send me a dozen long stem roses. I tell you what I will do. I'll bend them into a crown of thorns. And send it right back to you. . Your love, love, love.
Could You Be-Michelle Wright. [Russ DeSalvo, Arnie Roman]. . There are lovers that you take. And compromises that you make. When you know you're better off goin' without.
I've been living in a hurry. Searchin' for my place in time. Daily life is getting to me. Same old people, same old grind. . Standing on a crowded sidewalk.
When I leave this town you will not see me cry. An East Texas town with all the wells run dry. Looking to the sky, waiting for a change. No sign of rain.
Thank God for these sunglasses. That hide my eyes and keep these tears from showin'. If I don't get home soon, I'm gonna run into you somewhere. I just know it, I just know it.
Well, I'm admitting I was drifting. When I came into your harbor. But I feel my spirits lifting. Like a wind just off the starboard bow. . Now, I know I swore I would love no more.
Underneath the neon sign. of Harry's Bar and Grill. Someone hugs a bottle. to take away the chill.. Oh. but the wind still blows. carries his sleeping soul.
Memories of East Texas. And those piney green, rolling hills. Covered in the springtime. With golden daffodils. . Rowing on Sandy lake come April. Harvesting hay in June.
Take heart. little sister. you can't wait till you're all grown up. Mama's always sayin' you're not old enough. And all you really wanna do is to fall in love..
If she had it to do. All over again. It would be a photograph. She would have a wide grin. . But no, it was an artist. With a longing, loving style. So when the paint was dry.
This thing don't fit me, this thing between you and me can't be love. 'Cause this thing is killing me, it's been pinching and pulling. Till it feels like I've been poured into my little sister's blue jeans.
I can't breathe, it's agony. Wondering where you are. Picture me on my knees. Have you run too far?. . Can you hear can you hear. The sound of my heart break.
Jump Jim Crow, jump Jim Crow. How do you do, you walk so slow. Like a little red rooster with one trick leg. Looks like you the one laying the egg. I don't know when but it'll be real soon.
I love you and you say that you love me. too.. And you come so close but you always stay. just a heartbeat away.. . I look in your eyes and I see that you don't realize.
If love was a train I think I would ride a slow one. One that would ride through the night making every stop. If love was a train I would feel no pain.
When I wake, when I sleep. I hear whispers that seek to reach me. My constant One. When I dance, when I weep. When I run, You are with me. . Everyday, every night.
Almost caught me a coyote today. A lowdown skunk of a dog I say. I fired my gun as he slunk away. But he'll be back again. . It ain't been easy since my husband died.
Frankie was a good woman. Everybody knows. She gave her man Johnny a hundred dollar bill. Just to buy one suit of clothes. . Frankie went down to the barroom.
