I got a hundred and sixty acres in the valley. Got a hundred and sixty acres of the best. Got an old stove there that'll cook three square. And a bunk where I can lay me down to rest..
Sittin' here with you, don't know why I'm blue. Just a feelin' that I've had right from the start. Somethin' 'bout your smile that lingers for awhile.
Like a song you keep returning, you never leave to stay. You're mean to me, why must you be, why don't you stay away. Every goodbye kiss keeps sayin' to love like this is wrong.
A long time forgotten. Are dreams that just fell by the way.. And the good life he promised. Ain't what she's living today.. But she never complains. Of the bad times or bad things he's done, Lord..
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah). Dear Lord, I want to thank you. For what you've done for me. For all these many blessings. In a world that's caught in grief and misery.
The way that we live has no meaning. We drift more apart day by day. It's so plain to see you're not satisfied with me. And it looks like I'm just in your way.
I dreamed that we were livin' in a castle in the sky. A world of make believe, a dream for you and I. For one time in my lifetime, I was sure about your love.
Round and round the world I go. Like a man possessed. Systematically searching for. A certain girl in a little white dress. Bullet trains, boats and planes.
They dressed her up in lace and curls. All the things she wasnât. Taught her life was not much more. Than looking for a husband. With a straight face.
I want to believe. I have something more to offer. I donât want to grieve. When the harvest has been weighed. When itâs time to leave. Donât want to overstay my welcome.
Just a little bit better. I want to say. I want to be just a little bit better. Each and every day. And it really don't matter. How good or bad you feel.
There ain't enough of me to go around. And I've got all kinds of reasons. To be all over town. Spread thin with deals and friends. Everybody wants a piece.
The river looked much wider. Than it ever seemed before. Even though we crossed a hundred times or more. We were scared, so we dared each other. . You first, and I'll be right behind you.
Once again I'm lost in a bar room. Four nights in a row, three days going mad. Right before the words; "I am leaving". I can recollect, feeling rather glad.
I was struggling. How to figure out this world all alone. You were looking. For a reason not to sing on your own. . Your sweet voice, my lost cause. Collided like stars burning in the sky.
Can you still recall that day. When you said I'm here to stay. Back when we wrote in stone. Had no place to call our home. . Home - no place to call our home.
I have hooted at the big man, I've howled at the waning moon. I have stolen from the rich, but I gave it away too soon. . Next to living, next to dying, I have no particular fears.
Yesterday we had a good thing going. I loved the way our love was growing. Thought I'd found love and affection. When you turned your love in the other direction.
