We walked in sat alone in a corner and faced the wall. Hiding behind the fear and shame. We talked but I just listened. She was sorry for it all. And that's how I found out my name.
It's a lonely road, it's a dead man's path. It's a crazier ride, ain't made to last. I've only shed one tear for just one soul. How hard I loved her, she may never know.
So you're scared to show your feelings. Baby I do understand. I don't make a promise I can't keep. I vow to be a real good friend. . In those big green eyes.
I sat down last week. To write a song about love. Something to make young lovers cry. But I was lost in doubt. I'd never had what I was writing about.
I saw our future in her eyes. We searched for love amidst the lies. I didn't mean to draw her in. To a fight we'll never win. . And I sigh as she becomes like jelly in my hands.
Oh Lord please forgive me for what I'm about to do. I'm running on empty and my options are few. You know that I did the best that I can. But i've done hit rock bottom, my time is at hand.
It's your day. Colored pictures from a kid's eye across the way. And the animals all curious today. As if life is just a candle wish away, wish away. .
I still think of you and forget my name. Forget the rules to this filthy game. I'm still your fool and I'm not ashamed to say. Your voice the song stuck in my head.
It's your day. Colored pictures from a kid's eye across the way. And the animals all curious today. As if life is just a candle wish away, wish away. .
There's a comfort in the cross. On the hill above the town. Something steady for the meek. When it all comes crashing down. I've been known to talk to Jesus.
As I lie awake in the other room. I could probably stay awake till noon time. So frustrating knowing what could be. What's even worse is she used to belong to me.
I aint got nobody. I don't have a bridge to build. Better safe than sorry. Mama hide the sleeping pills. It's another morning after the night before. .
As I lie awake, in the other room. I could probably stay awake until noon time. So frustrating knowing what could be. What's even worse is she used to belong to me.
And she just walked away. With nothing else to say. Like I was never here. . She said her last goodbye. And kept her tears inside. As if I was never here.
I aint got nobody, I dont have a bridge to build. Better safe than sorry, mama, hide the sleeping pills. Its another morning after the night before. .
The Concho Valley's on fire tonight. Spilling out into the street. The blessed scream of a newborn dream. Making love in my backseat. . All of us together in the glow of the dusty headlights.
Won't you let me catch your fall?. Won't you let me lend a hand?. Those lonely eyes have seen it all. But love's too blind to understand. . 'Cause you don't know what you have.
50 DOLLARS AND A FLASK OF CROWN. . I GRAB MY STETSON AND I PULL IT DOWN.. I ROPE THE DEVIL RIDE'M INTO TOWN. WITH 50 DOLLARS AND A FLASK OF CROWN (HUP!).
Ten years have passed and we're right where we were. Some things are better but so much is worse. I wonder sometimes if we're under a curse. . What was once laughter has now turned to tears.
I lay down my head. Almost asleep. Tears in my eyes. Why should I weep. I know there's more. Where I am going now. Angels surround me and lead me back home.
