Cold gray dawn, steel blue day, sunset rust tonight. It's the same old picture to a love struck man. Who's suddenly seen the light. And I miss that girl.
Thank you for asking. It's a beautiful ring. A symbol of love surrendering. But I don't believe in. To have and to hold. It's not worth it's weight in gold.
In a Holiday Inn, in a bar, in a corner. A man sat, starin' at the life he'd been handed. Prayin' for a miracle to let him sleep. He's got a woman back home and a woman in the city.
Ain't it funny how an ole song. Can take you back in time. Bring back the memories. You thought you left behind. . The melodies they never change. Just get better with time.
(Gordon Kennedy/Wayne Kirkpatrick/Tommy Simms). . You don't have to cry when I say good-bye, good-bye. You know I'll be coming back real soon. And when I do, you know.
(Gordon Kennedy/Phil Madeira). . Yesterday the odds were stacked in favor of my expectations. Flyin' above the rest, never fallin' from the nest. Tuesday came and went and I'm in a little situation.
(Gordon Kennedy/Wayne Kirkpatrick/Trisha Yearwood). . One light blinking off and on. Blood of life in this town is gone. Lost all its pieces but the pawn.
(Vic Chesnutt). I just never could say, "good bye" or "adieu". ooh, but the years, they have been so kind to you. there's some skills that I have learned to do.
(Vic Chesnutt). dogs are barking, birds are chirping. the only thing better if I was squirting. but there's no one here to love on me today. for the maiden's on holiday.
Go ahead, baby, overreact. Tell me how you feel, don't hold back. It's been way too long since we had a good fight. We both know how we get. When tempers get heated.
There were forty little houses in a place they called High River. And everyone knew Tim since the day he was born. He was a little different some might call it slow.
Good morning captain, good morning son. Do you need another mule skinner out on your new road line?. . I like working I'm rolling all the time. I can pop my initials on a mule any old time.
You come home late from work, baby. You wonder why it ain't on the table. After the day that I've had. I don't believe I'm able. . You give me every little reason in the book.
Everybody's heart aches, every time it opens. You don't know if you'll win or lose, you just have to let go. No I wasn't looking, it's funny how I found you.
(Hank Card/Conrad Deisler. The dollar is falling on the japanese market. The Nikei industrial average is shooting up like a rocket. Nervous investors satisfying their craving for yen.
I'm moving out. Me and my best friend Louise got it all figured out. She's got the car and I've got the stereo. I'm saving my dollars that used to be dimes.
This is my kind of town. I ain't never seen nothing like it. In all my traveling 'round. . This old highway ever gives me up. And I think about settling down.
Somewhere out there in the smoky air. Where the night is neon blue. Surrounded by strangers, she don't know the dangers. One drink could lead her to. .
There was a brand new stranger at the old bus station. He said, "Music City is my destination". He said, "The whole wide world's gonna sing my song. And you can take that to the bank".
With every drink I take, it's gettin' harder to recall. And I ain't gonna stop until I forget it all. 'Cause once upon a time she used to love me so. But that was many, many, many beers ago.
