Take the last train to Clarksville. And I'll meet you at the station. You can be there by 4:30. 'Cause I've made your reservation. Don't be slow. Oh no no no, oh no no no.
Our bodies lay here side by side. But our thoughts have turned the other way. We make the conversation of two people. Who have nothing left to say. We're so accustomed to each other.
I just called to thank you for turning me around. And showing me how love feels when it's right. You erased a memory my teardrops couldn't drown. When you put out an old flame last night.
The old man told his story. About the years gone by. How he played his horn down in New Orleans. In some old dingy dive. "I knew 'em all back then." he said.
My woman thinks I wouldn't cheat on her when we're apart. But there's a secret hidden in the shadows of my heart. The truth is catching up with me and it's hard to hide my shame.
You may wonder why I never do stay sober. I'll tell my story if somebody wants to hear. There is someone that I never got over. I still think about her often, but now not quiet so clear.
When you finally tell me what I know is on your mind. Don't cry, don't let those teardrops start. Just tell me that you're leaving and you'll be gone for good.
Take Me As I Am (Or Let Me Go). Written by Boudleaux Bryant. Gene Watson. Why do you always try to make me over. Take me as i am or let me go. White lilies never grow in fields of clover.
She has the new dress I bought her. And a house for our love used to be. She has the kids after all that she did. But she has no memory of me. . She still has my friends around her.
I wonder if you've had the time it takes to think it over. And sort out all the feel-ings in your mind. Some-times I think you've found some-one to do your thinking for you.
I stay out late most every night until closing time. Tryin' to find a way to drink your mem'ry off my mind. And even if it goes just right, I'd never make a bet.
The sun goes down in Calvin county. Neon lights from an old beer sign. Shown through the window out on the sidewalk. As I walked in to pass the time;.
I feel so sorry for my friends, now, that you'd left me. I just don't have the time to see them like I used to do. I know they worry but each night I hurry.
I was along neckin' with the boys at the local hot spot. In the midst of celebratin' this newfound freedom I've got. They ain't call them walking papers wasn't even right.
From somewhere outside, I hear a. Street vendor cry "filet gumbo". From my window I see him, going. Down the street and he don't know. That we fell right to sleep.
Here you are back on my mind where you stay quite a lot. Bringing back all the old memories I thought I'd forgot. I just keep finding you with me and I don't know why.
This morning I am leaving I've been up all night long. You're right, I'm tired of waiting for you to come home. I've begged and tried to change you but you've grown worse each day.
Little by little, round by round. Weve been caught in the middle. Two hearts breakin down. Weve been fightin each other. With our backs to the wall. And little by little, were losin it all.
When we first started on our way through love. We thought we were two of a kind. We thought forever was just you and me. And always a matter of time. .
I'll be your companion. Stay right here by your side. And I will never let go. Until the day you die. . Here 'til the end. The best love you'll find. If you'll just hold me.
