Now I'm not talking tough, telling the truth ought to be enough. I've had my share on the darker side. Sitting and starring at a TV screen, racking my brain over all the things.
Tiny peices of my heart. Like confetti everywhere. Hidden sorrows in the dark. You can feel it in the air. The spotlight finds me. I can no longer hide my frown.
There were seventeen cars out in my back yard,. The boys in blue are calling my name,. Semi-automatic up on the rooftop,. They just to want to talk to me,.
On a barstool like a damn fool. Hoping she won't think I'm to much older. Just another come on line. To a girl like you in a place like this. And on the dance floor wanting so much more.
A high roller even when the chips are down. To win her over, I'd seen the tables turn around. She's ten the hard way, I can feel it in my bones. She'll be makin' my day and not another night alone.
There's something talkin' in the wind. Whispering through the trees. That feeling in my bones again. Just puts me right at ease. . It takes me back to all the times.
What do you say when it's over. I don't know if I should say anything at all. One day we're rollin' in the clover. Next thing you know we take the fall.
I've been bound to leave you, we've known that for awhile. I'm sure it's something I can't do if I can't leave you with a smile. I don't know how far I'll have to go 'til I'm sure those eyes won't cry.
You Know It All. . Communications are down, all over town,. people trying to get thru, some will never get an answer. but I've already found the way to get thru to you.
Holdin' on, safely to fall. Like there's no tomorrow forsaking it all. Bound and determined to share all of our days. Loving and learning our special ways.
Verse 1:. This is the price we'll have to pay for our broken paradise,. this is the mask we hide behind, it's far too late to turn around.. . Chorus;.
As past times go I guess I've seen some good. It's not always the best ones come and stay. . There's a crowd that thinks there is one. And it should. Cause they seem to spend theirs the some old way.
(Clint Black/Hayden Nicholas). . The memories and emotions that I've been through. Are things I can't unlearn. But I won't go on standing on the bridges.
Bottle of scotch whiskey not very smooth. Like snake bite cure from the medicine man. Not bad poison if there's something to soothe. It's a whole other world in the palm of your hand.
(Clint Black & Steve Wariner). . It's a lonesome avenue, I'm barely livin' on. With a broken heart that's dyin' over you.. I've done all that I can do to try and make you love me too.
Why "dju" have to go away? ("dju" = did you). Why did I ever run from you?. I should've never started this. Started ever lovin' you. I am not perfect.
Maybe I took for granted you'd be around. To pick me up on my way down. I thought my feet were planted firmly on the ground. Till one day my whole world came unwound.
You think you're evil, but you're not. You've got your brain tied in knots. You live in guilt, your mind's not free. Nothing's wrong with you, you can't believe me.
No Sun on the Rockies. Not even the light of day. I feel that old cabin fever commin' on. But I Know where I'll be. When lady luck finally blows my way.
