I got a lot of highway to travel. I got a little lady on my mind. I'm already pullin' over callin' Caroline. . I got to be in Bowling Green by mornin'.
It's cold out this mornin', it's raining, it's pourin'. My back's acting up, but so what, I'm alive and I'm breathin'. My baby's still mad from that fight that we had.
There's a little shack tucked back in the timber. It wasn't much back then, but it was home. Sometimes it hurts me to remember. Just how long I've been gone.
I woke up early with a poundin' in my head. I'd been out the night before with all my friends. A little worried, kinda wonderin' what I did. I said, Lord, please forgive me for my sins.
Skipping rocks across the creek. Tasting something good to eat. Feeling grass on my bare feet. And talking to a friend. Walking down a railroad track.
I'm tired of working every day for a dollar. About to choke on my own blue collar. This ain't gonna last, misled by the grand illusion. I've come to this conclusion.
You ate the cotton candy. Drove a bumper car and ran me down. I tried to kiss you on the big wheel. You jumped off and I'm the clown. Everybody step right up.
Harder than that howling wind was blowing. His wet cigarette hit the dirt. Cursing at that big road train behind him. Pushing out the windshield with his shirt.
It aint as fun as in the past. Light that fireworks fuse. Then you better run real fast. These days I light em up. I don't even hear the blast. It aint as fun as in the past.
I think Ive stayed too long, but I aint glad to go. Back past the front door, theres someone sad and low. I climb into my office, I'm pulling away fast.
Forty-one tonnes of truckin under me. I guess most of time, Im where Im supposed to be. If I get out, its only for a minute. If you see the girl, shout, you can bet Im in it.
Upon the floor some torn-up T-shirts lay. That I have not the heart to throw away,. But I know.... You always take the Madness when you go.. The queen has borne for us a long weekend..
You were a young girl, fresh to the city, always wanted real love, nothing cold and empty,. He stoked the flame in you, and turned a spark to fire,. Never heard when your mama said , loves not the same as desire..
Talk of crime in the cities. The writings on the wall. Another Hollywood Break-up. Like that affects us all. . And they sell their gossip rags by the millions,.
Driving in your car tonight. You hear the song on the radio. Something in your hearts not right. Youre thinking that you cant go on. . You know youre not the only Who thought they lost their way,.
Pulling down the rafters as they backed out of the hole. Its dangerous but the boss wants every last bit of that coal. Its gravy time if its not your own life on the line.
This is the love song that I never gave you.. I didn't know where or how to begin.. And it doesn't matter and it won't save you from. runnin' or lying in the arms of a woman or man,.
I messed up my little world. Broke Your heart and about lost my mind. So far from You and so far gone. But Your love was there for me to find. . O You just took ahold of me.
Father I will not worry about tomorrow. And all of its questions. Father I will just trust you. And I will be waiting for treasures in Heaven. My heart is with You and there my treasure lies.
My old flame, I can't even think of his name but it's funny now and then. How my thoughts go flashing back again to my old flame. My old flame, my new lovers all seem so tame.
