I stood there in the middle of the church of the broken people.. Listened to the walking wounded tell their stories.. My turn came I told 'em my name. I said this ain't my first time..
Single six months yesterday. Thought I oughta celebrate. So I went down to grab a couple of beers. . And I got so drunk, I ripped my pants. I asked the bouncer for a dance.
If you need someone to take you by the hand. And help you heal your broken heart. Show you how to find the faith in love again. So you can make a brand new start.
I've got a quarter in my pocket won't you tell me what I should do?. Should I put it in the phone so I can come crawling home to you. Or should I put it in the jukebox and play another heartbreak song.
All the days that ended well in to tomorrow. All the times I couldn't lay it on the line. This old conscience that I could never follow. I hate to say it but I wish it wasn't mine.
Yeah, she's the one. The one I told you all about. Yeah, it was serious, but it was long ago. She just might walk over here. And give me a kiss for old times.
I can't stop your heart from breaking,. Can't make right mistakes we've made,. Can't dry your crying eyes,. For my little angels sake,. I can't make the sun keep smiling,.
I was born to travel down blue highways. I never seem to learn much from my past. I don't make excuses for my mistakes. I take each day and I live it.
I just got back from Hell. And I'm satnding here alive. I know it's really hard to tell. Don't know how I survived. But I can't say that I'm doin' great.
I've come to see it's a pattern with me. To make a fast getaway. Every time I get a little too near to love. Somebody gets too close. . The next thing I know.
I think I saw ol Santa through my window Christmas eve. My eyes were really droopy but I really do believe. It mustve been ol Santa cause I saw his big red hat.
It's the way of life in the real West. 'Neath the Prairie moon that's Heaven blessed. And a tall boot shuffle on a wooden floor. It's a clean white shirt on a Saturday night.
Life's like a road that you travel on. When there's one day here and the next day gone. Sometimes you bend and sometimes you stand. Sometimes you turn your back to the wind.
I think I'll go across the ocean. If I don't change my notion. I just got to forget you if I can. . Oh I'm feeling so blue. I don't know what to do. For I'm head over heels in love with you.
There will come a time some morning when all the saints will rise and shine. Hallelujah praise the Lord it won't be long. Up to that happy home in glory where the souls shall never die.
Go away from my window, leave at your own chosen speed. I'm not the one you want, babe, I'm not the one you need. You say you're looking for someone never weak but always strong.
Little girl you stand out in the crowd. You're laughing and talking much too loud. But I see a little tear peaking through. It takes one to know one and I know you.
If I were a carpenter and you were a lady. Would you marry me anyway would you have my baby. If a thinker was my trade would you still find me. Carrying the pots I made following behind me.
Is it too late now to tell you that I love you. Or is there still a chance for me somehow. Oh they tell me now that you have found another. Darlin' please don't say it's too late now.
Oh, I was standing by the bedside. Where my fevered mother lay. When she called me close beside her. And I thought I heard her say. . I've just seen the rock of ages.
