There's a family Bible on the table. Its pages worn and hard to read. But the family Bible on the table. Will ever be my key to memories. . At the end of day when work was over.
A young cowboy named Billy Joe. Grew restless on the farm. A boy filled with wonderlust. Who really meant no harm. He changed his clothes and shined his boots.
Johnny Cash. The crops are all in, and the peaches are rotten. The oranges are all packed in the creosote dumps. They're flying them back to the Mexican Border.
Ooh, you come on like a dream. Peaches and cream. Lips like strawberry wine. You're sixteen. . You're beautiful and you're mine. You're all ribbons and curls.
There's a man across the hall who sits staring at the floor,. He thinks he's Hank Williams; hear him singing through the door.. There's a girl in 203, who stops by to visit me,.
Maybe I didn't love you. Quite as often as I could have. And maybe I didn't treat you. Quite as good as I should have. If I made you feel second best.
An old cowboy went riding out one dark and windy day. Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way. When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw.
You gave me a blanket to keep me from the cold. You gave me a song I learned to sing. You showed me some beauty through the windows of your soul. And you showed me a world I've never seen.
I could lie here forever, listen to the falling rain. I didn't think I would ever get touched this way again. Until you came, you smiled at me and rolled away the years.
Sunshine and showers. And everything comin' up daisies. Oh, what a good thing we had gone bad. Oh, what a good thing we had. . Drive-ins and picnics. And every day was Saturday.
We got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout,. We've been talkin' 'bout Jackson, ever since the fire went out.. I'm goin' to Jackson, I'm gonna mess around,.
It's true that I used to be crazy. And harder to love than most men. And the blood that ran in these tired hands. Was harder and wilder back then. . And I don't feel as tall as I used to.
Take the ribbon from your hair. Shake it loose and let it fall. Layin' soft against your skin. Like the shadows on the wall. . Come and lay down by my side.
Darlin' companion, come on and give me understandin'. And let me be your champion: a hand to hold your pretty hand in. Darlin' companion, now you know you'll never be abandoned.
Baby you're tired I can see in your eyes, I know how you feel. We've been together too long to conceal. What's in our hearts maybe we should part but after so many years.
Lonesome train on a lonesome track. I'm going away, ain't coming back. I'm going somewhere far from my baby. On a lonesome train, on a lonesome track.
I just found out some things I thought of you. I never dreamed that they were true. I just found out that you were leavin' me. I never dreamed that it would be.
Dreamin', I'm always dreamin'. Dreamin', love will be mine. Searchin', I'm always searchin'. Hopin' someday I'll find. . Someone, someone to love me. Someone to need me but until then.
If I had a girl that loved me. Just as much as she loves you. I'd stay in her arms every doggone day. And never would be untrue. . You can't win. (You can't win).
Butterfingers, butterfingers. Butterfingers, butterfingers. . Well, butterfingers, butterfingers. That's what everybody calls me since I lost you. Well, a-butterfingers, butterfingers.
