Roger Creager. . You ask me how I'm feeling down deep inside. It's not something I'm holding back or trying to hide. My love for you is not easily explained.
(Gary Nicholson/Donnie Fritts). . Everytime we're alone like this. There's so much I want to say. But we both know what we're feelin'. Words just get in the way.
(Gary Nicholson/Craig Wiseman). . I'm up and out the door before the sun comes up. Spillin' coffee, banging gears in my pickup truck. Racing every red light, getting to the jobsite.
I used to work in an ice cream shop. Sugar cone with a cherry on top. This girl, she had a pretty face. I think her mother might have owned the place.
Let me tell you 'bout Ahab the Arab. The Sheik of the burning sand. He had emeralds and rubies just dripping off a him. And a ring on every finger of his hands.
(Traditional). Seinn an duan so dhan Innis igh. An innis uaine as gile trigh. Bidh sian air uairean. A' bagairt cruaidh ris. Ach 's e mo luaidh-sa bhi ann a' tmh.

An Empty Glass. and last cigarette. to closing time. and I'm drunk again. but somehow I make it home. cry myself to sleep. that's the way the day ends,.
On the floor now, on the floor now. It's started again, yeah well it's started again. Close the door now, close the door now. Won't you let me in? Why won't you let me in?.
There's an evening dress in the closet with a red wine stain on the sleeve. Your pillow's still on the bed where we used to sleep. And in the dresser drawer there's a couple more things that smell like your perfume.
Now every father's child's taught to do like their told. Not ever son or daughter is gonna fit the mold. If you feel like your life callin's been a slave to the mud.
I held on to the hurt, wrestled it to the ground. Fought it like Heaven and Hell and I lost every round. There wasn't anybody I would trust. So long since I felt love, I'd forgotten what it was.
Ain't it funny. The turns life puts you through. Dont know whats round the bend. Lord you dont know where its leading you. . Close your eyes, say a prayer.
I'm gonna do it darlin'. I could waste time tryin' to figure it out. But I'm jumpin' anyhow. I've never been this far. Didn't know love could run so deep.
There's a curve in the highway, just south of town. Where a man has pulled over to figure life out. With only his conscience and the lonesome sound. Of diesels winding up grade.
You have a hold on me and I don't know why. Because you don't make me smile you make me cry. You hold me close and tell me lies. Whisper them like poison in my ear.
