Whole town showed up. Gymnasium filled. Floor was wet from all the tears spilled. And the preacher man said. We're all gathered today. And I'll never forget what he had to say.
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire. Jack Frost nipping on your nose. Yuletide carols being sung by a choir. And folks dressed up like Eskimos. . Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe.
Way up in the mountains, four thousand feet high. There's a trail through the trees to. a cliff where Carolina meets the sky. Oh, and there's a view I just can't describe.

She was a prom queen, taking the world by storm. I felt like James Dean with her on my arm. The night was a free ride, lit by the moon. I prayed from the inside, "Don't let it end soon".
You've got me worried now. It makes me feel somehow. As if the world is gonna break. Oh, c'mon, short of breath. It's like I'm scared to death. That I might make a bold mistake.
Daddy's in the kitchen fryin' sauerkraut. Momma's in the bedroom nearly all cried out. Daddy thinks that whiskey makes him big and smart. Momma thinks that daddy's got a concrete heart.
It's time to go inward, take a look at myself. Time to make the most of the time that I've got left. Prison bars imagined are no less solid steel. . Time to go inward would you believe that I'm afraid.
When the winds of change hit hard and knock you off your guard. And you find out there's a serpent in the grass. Though forked tongues might speak if truth is what you seek.
I used to think that love was. Something meant to tie me down. All I ever wanted was a. Guitar and another town. . Ten years disappear so fast. When you're strung out on the high wire lines.

You don't have to be rich. I don't have to be drunk in a ditch. You don't have to be the top of your class. I don't have to have wavers of brass. . You don't have to be cute.
The rock of my soul went to church on Sunday. The rock of my soul went to work on Monday. Clean across the levy by the railroad tracks. The other side of Houston in a two room shack.
Give to me my time and money. Give to me my milk and honey. Give to me my self respect. Golden chains around my neck. . Give to me my super model. Corporate jet and champagne bottle.
There's a man in me. He's cold and he's hard. He's got an eye for deception. He's always on guard. . He's swimming in concrete. Drowning in fear. And he keeps it all locked in his heart.
There's no feelin' no better than this. There's no mountain so high I can't climb. There's no shortage of comfort and bliss. There's no reason I burned holes in my mind.
Sometimes there's heartaches and teardrops will fall. Good years and bad years, we live through it all. There's no easy answer to the trouble I see. But I'm happy just knowin', you're saving the last waltz for me.
We moved into a house in Tennessee. From the California desert where we did not wanna be. Where the grass was high and the rivers green the sky was always blue.
