Lost like the best of us can get. Wings with no direction. Tossed over waves of emptiness. Looking glass with no reflection. . But at the end of my rope.
I wanna be the one sittin' next to you. On your mama's front porch swing. Feel like the guy that gets the girl. On a forty foot silver screen. I wanna steal a kiss when we stop.
I could never be lonely. I could never be blue. As I go thru life if only. I have my guitar and you. . Why should I ever worry. Why should I be sad. We travel along in a hurry.
My cowboy life is so happy and free. Out west where the laws don't bother me. I take my troubles like a toy I'm just a yodeling cowboy. . At the set of the sun when my work is done.
I just received, sweetheart. Your yellow roses. You tell me dear. They mean that we're all through. . You tell me that. Tonight your heart is broken. But you should know.
I lay here at night. I toss and I turn. Lovin you so. How my heart yearns. Honey, You're the reason I cain't sleep at night. Just a walkin' the floor.
Did I wake you up again?. Talking in my sleep. Unfamiliar afternoon. . We were out for a little while. Voices from the street. Sunlight in a rented room.
They wouldn't hear your music. And they tore your paintings down. They wouldn't read your writing. And they banned you from the town. But they couldn't stop you dreaming.
I said, "Hello, I think I'm broken" and though I was only jokin'. It took me by surprise when you agreed. I was tryin' to be clever, for the life of me I never.
Who started this? I don't know. You're already packed and ready to go. I hope she's worth it, after all we've been through. You're breakin' my heart but I have to be strong.
You say that somewhere over the rainbow. There's a star that you've been wishin' on. Well is the grass really that much greener. Than here where you belong?.
The sunlight on my shoulders the smile on my face. My secret weapon my favorite place. The reason my heart skips a beat. The broom that sweeps me off my feet.
One moment in the wink of an eye. There was nothing I could say. A strong feeling started up inside. I knew time would not erase away. . For you, oh. My heart is brave, my time is free.
You decide. What you need. And then you let me know. I'll be waiting here until you call. . Take your time. Till you find. Which way your heart must go.
I went home for Christmas to the house that I grew up in. Going back was something after all these years. I drove down Monterey street and felt a little sadness.
See the pyramids along the Nile. Watch the sunrise on a tropic isle. Just remember, darling, all the while. You belong to me. . See the marketplace in old Algiers.
You are the woman. Who started a fire in my soul. And to this day its still burning out of control. With my final breath your name will cross my tongue.
