Well, I was just a kid, maybe two or three. Had a bad nightmare, scared the life out of me. Mama came in to calm my fears. When nothing she could do would stop those tears.
Pull the damn thing down. We're gonna build a highway. Either side, we'll beautify. With concrete reaching to the sky. . Pull the damn thing down. Soon you won't remember.
Every guy in my country road home town. Lost their mind when this one girl came around. Oh, I was seventeen. The first time that she looked my way. Hot as the pavement in July.
Even as a little girl who's playing out of school,. You wanted everyone to know your name.. Makin' sure you had the best. Just to stand out from the rest.
A short red dress don't turn my head. At least that's true unless it's you that's wearin' it. Glamor girls, high heels and pearls. They're a dime a dozen in this world.
A matter of time to make it to take it till the end,. He's told so many people now he can't go back again.. He lost his feet on a one way street with no place he can go,.
If you've got faith and you believe in what you're living for. You can stand your ground when the devil's at your door. And a little hope can help you when the road is getting rough.
Sad and lonely is a place I've been. Lost forever in a young boy's dream,. Taking chances that won't come again.. Thinking back, was I so happy then?.
Oh I was poor as a boy,. Only had one thing to my name.. But I worked so hard. On my old guitar,. I know each note sounded the same.. Yea I did what I said,.
The first night we brought you home, it scared me half to death. I stood right beside your crib and counted every breath. Lookin' at your little face, Heaven seemed so close.
Spend a life time waitin' for a phone to ring,. But it all comes down to just the same old thing.. So you sit right down until you get that call,. But your head keeps knocking off the same old wall..
I see the questions in your eyes. I know what's weighin' on your mind. But you can be sure I know my part. 'Cause I'll stand beside you through the years.
Maybe I'm wrong, living high and chancing,. I feel an ice cold look in your eye cut me down with glances.. We both said "No", but we can't let go, and I'm feeling like we tried to hide..
Ye banks and braes o' Bonnie Doon,. How can ye bloom sae fresh and fair?. How can ye chant, ye little birds,. And I'm sae weary, fu' o' care!. Ye'll break my heart, ye warbling birds,.
I guess everybody goes to the grocery store, even me. There's no tellin' who in the world there you're gonna see. Lost in space at the cash only aisle number three.
You say, you're gonna phone. I spend the whole day, waiting at home. It's just the same old fools game. . Sold on trying once more. But I'm still cold from something before.
When our love was new. Through spring's first morning sun. We'd run, only beginning. . I never gave a thought. That sun and seasons change. It's strange, so soon it's the ending.
In my life I've seen sorrow, heartache and pain.. I've been burned by the sunshine. Been drowned in the pouring rain. Had too many lovers but not enough love..
Wild mountain thyme : to the mcpeake family of belfast. . Oh the summer time is coming. And the trees are sweetly bloomin'. And the wild mountain thyme.
Sometimes a song can touch a nerve that takes me back to you. When I pick up my old guitar and I play your favorite tune. Every now and then, some little thing, I've buried comes bubblin' up.
