Girl I know I'm the farthest thing from your mind. So I'm headed down the line. I've lost my dignity, gotta have some sanity. So listen girl whatever you do, don't try to find me.
How do I move on from here. When everything I lost is what I want. This ocean left inside of me. Has become her memory's favorite place to haunt. . How can the best I ever had.
A young mans dreams. Wild as a mountain stream. Rush all to the sea. Well I was restless and I was reckless. Trying to stay free. . I swore that no one would hold me very long.
My little girl met a new friend just the other day. On the playground at school. Between the tires and the swings. But she came home with tear-filled eyes.
If you're Gonna run with me. You better cowboy up. . I was thirty seconds in to an ninety second love affair. Hell I got my spurs dug in and my hand high in the air.
Six oclock news. Sad story bout some people. Who had lost it all. The wind and rain came. Blew away, everything they own. I saw a pictures of a couple searching through the ruble.
I was driving through the country when my car broke down. Just my luck it was a one horse town. I was reaching for my phone. When out of the blue. A farmers daughter came to my rescue.
Heaven knows I aint no genious. ive been further down than broke. ask anyone whos ever seen us. and you would think. i just struck gold (no chord). . (chorus).
my friends all ask me. how i'm doin. since you took you sweet love away. and i kno that they're. just showin they care. but what do they expect me to say.
I've been workin' like a dog with my nose to the ground. If I don't loosen up these chains I'm gonna lose my mind. Been on the straight and narrow far too long.
What'll I do with all these memories. Not enough room in here for them and me. I can feel them everywhere. It's past the point that I can bear. Where can I go to find a little peace.
She's always there beside me. No matter what the cause. Holding things together come what may. She's the one that guides my soul. Whenever it get lost.
One day little Billy said momma, wheres my dad?. Fightin back the tears she said I knew one day youd ask. She walked him down the hallway, to a closet with a safe.
We bought an old run down house. We couldn't wait to get the keys. Scraping windows painting walls. Ya we could do it all just you and me. . Oh but the money got tight that winter.
I don't claim to be John Wayne. Ridin' across that silver screen. I ain't that picture in your head all. These modern day wanna b's. I'm just proud that I can say.
Her little man is 4 years old. Looks like his father so he's been told. But he wouldn't know it, he ain't never seen him around. Life has been cold, it treats her unkind.
I'm gonna dig me a hole. I'm gonna bury my heart. I'll let it rest in pieces. Out in my back yard. . I'll lay a wreath of roses. On a blue tombstone. I'm gonna dig me a hole, lord.
I was dyin' in that small town. Dreamed of headin' southbound. So I hitched down I-65. I climbed into her trans am. An hour below of Burmingham. . She was headin' home and I was there for the ride.
Well the rich man cuttin' me off in a jet black Cadillac, K jack. You're just water off a duck's back. You ain't messin' with me. Yeah the boss man tryin' to pull me into a two-bit half-wit shoutin' fit.
So this is the day of the dead. St. Jude and the Lady of Guadalupe. The apples and oranges. And silver coins for ghosts to gamble with. . Marigolds and candles.
