People Like Me. Never went to college. Except the parties I was playing. For the sigma kappa ladies on Friday night. So I spent a lot of weekends. With some future doctors girlfriend.
At the Dairy Queen one summer. In a far West Texas town. The girl was all of 16. She was woman pound for pound. . Slippin' dollars in the juke box. Playing ZZ Top and Merle.
She played me like an old church song, you barely know but you sing along anyway. She held me like another drink, the one you know you just don't need but you have to take.
The answering machine says you'll be late again, third time this week. And I know what you're doing but to tell the truth it's a relief. 'Cause that means she and I will have a little extra time and we won't be in such a hurry.
Markin' time on this concrete wall. Seems like it wasn't all that long. She caught my eye with her devilish grin. Every pistol needs a firing pin.. . She said she loved me 'cos I was dangerous,.
Broken on the inside, that's what I used to say. Then I'd pack my bags and raise the white flag, and I'd drive away. I thought that's what made me strong, well I was young and I was wrong.
The band has quit playing. And the house lights are on. Pry this drink from my fingers. And the good times are gone.. . There's a girl in the corner. She's been waiting all night.
Philosophers and poets, and songwriters too,. Have told stories through the ages,. 'Bout what friends can do to you.. Their envy and betrayal, can drive a man to drink,.
The tears in my eyes have a home till I cry. And then they have a cheek to fall back on. The birds in the sky have a mate until it's time to die. But I don't have a love to call my own.
Bare me up on wings of Angels. Let me hear the choir sing. Let me see the facets. Of the chair of Him. . Lift me up on wings of Angels. Three or four or more.
If brains were thousand dollar bills. I'd tell you what we'd bet. You wouldn't have enough. To buy a cup of coffee yet. . Well, that ain't the way I heared it.
Time's a Wastin' Lyrics. . Carl Smith: Now I've got arms. June Carter: And I've got arms. Together: Let's get together and use those arms. June Carter: Let's go.
One, two, three. . Two lovers stood in the white, white sand. Dark-eyed maiden and her tall lover man. With surprise and pain in her eyes. Clung to the hand of her tall lover man.
Oh, a strange, strange woman, don't trust 'em from the start. Or a strange, strange woman will try to break your heart. . Now woman don't feel sad, don't you pity me.
I told you once and I'll tell you now. If I lose your love, I'd die somehow. You broke the news to me today. But I need one thing before I go away. . Well, you know I'm gonna love you, baby, once before I die.
You have heard of little Moses in the bull rush. You have heard of fearless David and his sling. You have heard the story told of dreaming Joseph. And of Jonah and the whale you often sing.
Free love is the goin' thing. So I took off my wedding ring. And embarked on my final fling. Of losin' you. . Borrowed love is awful cheap. He was fun but I can't sleep.
Well there's a dark and a troubled side of life. There's a bright and a sunny side too. But if you meet with the darkness and strife. The sunny side we also may view.
