One of these days I'm gonna wake up. With somethin' to lose, and I'll get over you. I walk outside, I look at the sky. And for the first time, the clear blue eyes.
Now if you want to be happy,let me tell you how to do it. You get up in the morning and you get right to it. You bring home the bacon and you make a little bread.
Ol' Johnny's got a heart of gold. Ask anyone around here. But some nights his eyes are far away. And filled with tears. Sweet Mary Lou's just as good as they come.
Oh, the weather outside is frightful,. But the fire is so delightful,. And since we've no place to go,. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.. . It doesn't show signs of stopping,.
Let me pour you a tall one,. Come sit down next to me.. Baby you look so damn good. In those faded jeans.. . Well, I've been stoned cold sober,. You've been cold as ice..
Toes in the water with the river rollin'. That little bit of butterfly tattoo showin'. Nothin' to do. Just let me fall in love with you. . Aw, long hair fallin' on a sun tanned shoulder.
Sittin' in this ol' honky tonk in Tulsa. Tryin' to drink her memory of my mind. If she only knew how much I loved her. She would be here by my side. It seems I spend a lot of time talkin' to myself.
There's a place called Joe's. Where some of us go. When the hard working day is through. Through the neon and smoke. We laugh and tell jokes. And throw down a cold one or two.
Sittin' at a poker table holdin' kings and threes. So far lady luck, hm, sure has been good to me. I should quit while I'm ahead, but I'll hang around instead.
The bills are late, the grass is brown. Got the only porch that's fallin' down. In the neighborhood.. But it's all good.. Work is slow, could use more pay.
She's not that good a driver. It's not that good a car. There's rain on that horizon. She's never gone that far. No storm is gonna stop her. Not a little thing like that.
You can hear that ragtop humming down the blacktop. Anytime night or day. Well she keeps her motor running and her tops down sunning. The girl she's got her ways.
I was sittin' outside in the front yard. Lawn chair, kiddie pool, soakin' up the sun. Old man walks by and said, "We got this thing called ambition. Why don't you buy a suit and go get you some?".
I watched him take the two strike call. He hadn't tried to swing at all. I guess he had all he could take. He walked away for goodness sake. His father's voice was loud and mean.
I know that there's nights I stay out too late. And time I forget to call. It's true I might argue at the drop of a hat. Or make a big deal out of nothing at all.
I almost felt you touching me just now. I wish I knew which way to turn and go. I feel so good and then then I feel so bad. I wonder what I ought to do.
I'm gonna tell her that I love her. About a million times a day. Oh I'm gonna do. Everything I wouldn't do. I'm gonna straighten up my act. If I ever get her back.
The snow in Montana was three feet high. The lady at the counter said there ain't no flights. And so he called her on the telephone. He said, 'I'll rent a car, and I'll drive home'.
Ever since I met you I've been kinda. Gettin' use to the way you hold me tight. I quit all my runnin' around and all the my silly games. That I play every night.
"I'm No Stranger To The Rain" came on my radio today. I hadn't heard that voice in way too long. I've still got those worn out tapes. The only three or four he made, what a shame.
