Last drag on a Lucky. One more swallow in the glass. Spend my time like dirty money. Each hour longer than the last. . It's easy to remember. All the times she met me here.
Pistol in my pocket, whiskey on my face. I guess this time the devil sent the bottle in his place. Well, I lived to see the morning's sun. Well, I make my way among the unforgiven.
Got a heart as big as all I know. Got a bag of candy for the girl next door. She's all grown up and I'm telling you, son. I'm gonna marry her the ditch times 21.
Ain't got no place that I call home. I'm just a drifter with a razor and comb. Every night another cheap hotel. Yes, you could say I ain't doing too well.
I met her at the mission. Living just this side of sin. Her mouth was soft and when she spoke. Lord, I fell right in. . She had a baby in a blanket. A dollar and a half.
There's a new star in my sky. There's a new song in my life. Some may take love casually. But I know what it's worth to me. . [Chorus:]. I would count the steps from here to heaven.
There's a new star in my sky. There's a new song in my life. Some may take love casually. But I know what it's worth to me. . I would cound the steps from here to heaven.
Maybe, I pray too much, maybe, I'm wastin' God's time. Livin' without your touch is driving me out of my mind. If you could only see how much you matter to me.
My Daddy brought home a photograph from the paper yesterday. It showed a line of wagons movin' someplace far away. That picture made my daddy smile, it made my Momma cry.
I stood up for you when you married. I thought you were one lucky guy. You had the world in your pocket. She had that look of love in her eye. . You called me at one in the morning.

There's an Elvis movie on the marquee sign. We've all seen at least three times. Everybody's broke, Bobby's got a buck. Put a dollars worth of gas in his pickup truck.
She found the place where I've been hiding. Have I the grace to let her in. To where my heart has been residing. Away from the joy and pain again?. . She's come a long way from her home.
Last night I dreamed you were back again. Larger than life again, holding me tight again. Placing those same kisses on my brow. Sweeter than ever now, lord I remember how.
Old habits die hard, some wounds never heal. We got what we came for, this is part of the deal. I can't forget you, I can't even try. Sometimes it seems like somebody died.
Well, the seasons come, and the seasons go.. And the reason you left, guess I'll never know.. There will be others, yes, I know it's true.. But they won't do you like I did for you..
Mama knows the highway by the songs. When she hears a good one, she always sings along. She don't ever worry 'bout what's gone. She says, "Good country music will never steer you wrong".
Close your eyes, you've got a long day comin'. Your mama will be callin', that old rooster will crow. Close your eyes, you've got a long day comin'. You should have been sleepin' a long time ago.
Just this side of Heaven there's a little white house. Take a ride at the Pearly Gates, go 'bout a quarter mile south. There's an angel sittin' on a front porch swing.
Got no time for the corner boys. Down in the street makin' all that noise. Don't want no hos on 8th Avenue. 'Cause tonight I'm gonna be with you. . Tonight I'm gonna take that ride.
