I took your picture from the table and now I'm finally alone. Took your number from my Rolodex I might get weak and call your phone. I got my chainsaw from your brother I did all of this and then.
Memories light the corners of my mind. Misty water-colored memories of the way we were. Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind. Smiles we gave to one another for the way we were.
(Hey there) you know she left me (hey there) I've been crying. In a boat on a plane in a train in a house by the phone. (Hey there) we're all in this thing alone.
You know they played that melody the first time that you danced with me. And way back then I didn't even know the words. Then they played that song again when our love came to an end.
You were meant for me and there ain't no two ways about it. Even on my darkest days oh they couldn't make me doubt it. Someday things are gonna be the way they were before.
(Whiskey castles) when I'm drinking I start building whiskey castles. Castles that grow tall throughout the night. When morning comes you never do remind me.
Well I ask myself who needs a baby they sometimes cry. I ask myself who needs a baby they sometimes lie. Then I ask myself who needs a baby they make you blue.
I met him in a hospital about a year ago. And why I still remember him I guess I'll never know. He'd lie there and cry out in a medicated fog,. "Here I am in this dang bed and who's gonna feed them hogs?".
We live on a farm in Tennessee. Like old McDonald's was. We have all the things that a farm should have. And a whole lot of love. . We have a brace of ducks and a clutch of chicks.
Three fingers whiskey pleasures the drinker. But moving does more than that drinking for me. Willy he tells me that doers and thinkers. Say moving's the closest thing to being free.
Chicago gets along so well without me though I'd go to Indiana for a while. The wind comes off the lakes so cold it freezes Chicago didn't try to make me smile.
(That's the world according to Raymond). And a Raymond according to me. He lives down in old North Carolina. Makes moonshine from good cropper web. . He carries a big thirty eight it's illegal.
I'd feed all those hungry children down by the tracks. I'd give mom and dad some of their young years back. I'd let all those crippled children get up and run.
When I was a young man I busted my jeans hopping a freight down to New Orleans. Worked on the oil rigs and played in the bars but nothing ever killed me so far.
My teardrops remind me that I'm water blue. A conscience too healthy for all I've been through. The sun shines and I think that I should improve. But I'm heartsick and I'm water blue.

He takes me to the places you and I used to go. He tells me over and over that he loves me so. He gives me love that I never got from you. He loves me too, his love is true.
