Now, friends listen well, let me tell you a story. I remember just like yesterday. Of a footloose young lad who ran off with the circus. Much to his mama's dismay.
Five hours of football one afternoon. Three nights of poker dragging in past two. Four years of trying to make it last. Even a fool could do the math.
Bring on the Sunshine. Verse 1:. White tank top, flip-flops, cut-off jeans (cut off jeans). Been chillin' and grillin' out on the beach (on the beach).
Slow down girl, you're talkin' much too fast. What's that girl, you think your love with him will always last. How can you say that?. . It's like you're blind 'cause you can't see the truth.
I'm all right now, I've got a new place to live. A one room apartment out on West 35th. No, I don't miss her and I've finally moved on. I've found a companion that won't do me wrong.
It was Sunday Afternoon. I was sunk in my recliner. Football game was one. Tampa Bay in Carolina. I wasn't paying much attention. Volume down, not watching it at all.
C'mon hurry, ain't no time for worrying,. Gotta go, move On. . Just leave the lights on, grab some clothes,. Set those sights on that four lane road. I'm Gone.
a single red rose and a table for two. a nice chardonnay and an ocean view. ships comin in stars comin' out. we sat and we talked 'til the place closed down.
In my high school, we separate the rich from the rest. Those who wear rags from those who only wear the best. And in my high school, they hold assemblies for the football team.
I've been walkin' these streets of Nashville. Since I was a little kid. Either in these boots or in my dreams. I spent all I had to buy this Martin. And I've been richer since I did.

Well, I didn't even bother to set the alarm. If I'm a few hours late, whats the harm. I've been in Mexico, I've been in Mexico. I discovered how to take it slow I've been in Mexico.
We sit alone in the darkest corner. Waitress comes and takes our order. And she looks at us, so suspiciously. It's plain to see that we're lovers. Tryin' to be alone with each other.
You've got an eye for diamonds and things that shine. You want a slick black Jag and a cellar of wine. I'd have to hold two jobs to keep you in my arms.
No hablo espanol. Was all I knew of the local lingo. And that old pocket guide to Mexico. Wasn't much help to this out of place Gringo. . When I checked into my motel room.
It was just another story printed on the second page. Underneath the Tiger's football score. . It said he was only eighteen, a boy about my age. They found him face down on his bedroom floor.
I ain't going to work, ain't going to class. Going bare feet and kickin' back. Gonna pacify my lazy bones ambition. Chillin'. . I'm talkin', jet skis and inner tubes.
My Mama got married to someone I barely knew. They had me then had my sister too. I was too young to understand why he left. . But how it broke my Mama's heart, I'll never forget.
Girl, you're getting that look in your eyes. And it's starting to worry me. I ain't ready for no family ties. Nobody's gonna hurry me. . Just keep it friendly, girl.
Will it be my Uncle Ronnie, I barely knew him when he left. He was only nineteen when he crashed that red Corvette. Will it be my great grandmother with some cookies that she baked.
