I was left alone. A long time ago. By my mother, who I never got to know. Faded memories of my life. Have been washed in whiskey nights. And I'm living at the bottom of the bottle.
You said let's go away. And leave our worries behind us. You took me from my sorrow. And you treat me with kindness. Because I wanna be the one. Always by your side.
When she left me, she thought that I was hurting. She heard that I been crying to her friends. But the truth is I just got a new job acting. So any tear that rolls my cheek is just pretend.
Well I was born in a small border town. And I left home at a young age and headed on down. And I started walking. Following a white line. I was on the side of a wild rush end freeway.
There are times,. when I almost catch him smiling. There are times. When the pain will cease to show. There are times. When days go by. And he doesn't even cry.
Keepin' on the lighter side of gettin' up and bleedin' ?. Hunger's a dream you die in. Needin' it with all your heart no way to slow or stop the start.
Some stranger is with her. For the first time tonight. What's a man to do. When he just can't win. And all the voices in my head. Are saying, cry your days away,.
no masters no more in the world we implore. the state of our age shall be thrown to the shore. if not for the colors that glow 'neath the sun,. no beauty for anyone.
My old man was young once, so the photo album claims.. Flip the page from baby jumps some 20 years and change.. From the cradle to the Navy base, the newlywed recruit..
Love is funny or it's sad,. Or it's quiet or it's mad,. It's a good thing or it's bad,. But beautiful!. . Beautiful to take a chance. And if you fall, you fall,.
You came to me from out of nowhere. You took my heart and found it free. Wonderful dreams, wonderful schemes from nowhere. Made every hour sweet as a flower for me.
I could show the world how to smile. I could be glad all of the while. I could change the grey skies to blues. If I had you. I could leave the old days behind.
Just friends, lovers no more. Just friends, but not like before. To think of what we've been and not to kiss again. Seems like pretending it isn't the ending.
A little darker shade of red. Lipstick. A different kind a sway. In those hips. Yeah. Something's going on. Higher heels and tighter skirts. It seems.
Friday, neon. Cold beer, got one. If only. You were lonely. . Barstool, good band. All night no plans. If only. You were lonely. . Yeah, if only you were lonely tonight.
Lucky strike and a honkey tonk. Chicken fryin' on a chicken bone. Tennessee moonshiner. Cookin' that copper line. Granny drunk playin' Bingo. Yellin' out B-99.
(This is for all you sophisticated ladies out there). . She grew up in the city in a little subdivision. Her daddy wore a tie. Mama never fried a chicken.
When you kissed me the other night. It was my first taste of wine. When I woke up the next morning. You were still on my mind. . There's a bitter-sweet flavor on my tongue.
Verse 1:. I dreamed she recalls when they were first married. A home and children to raise. The work of her smile and the faith that she carries,. It's a blessing that still gives today..
I been caught out in the cold Montgomery rain. With nothin' but the blues to my name. Listenin' to the lonesome sounds of a midnight train. That old whine, well that kinda reminds me of Hank.
