I just might take to leavin' in the middle of a night. And I might not be here in the morning light. But I'll never stop loving you, loving you. . I might move into Memphis on a fast moving train.
Once was a woman and once was a man. Who'd never been lovers, just good friends. Both of them happy with rings on their hands. But they'd dreamed of each other, romance.
There were fourteen reasons for sayin' goodbye. Like the look on her face and the look in her eye. And the way that she broke the man down. Left the man in pieces here on sinkin' ground.
I look down that winding road. I needed rest and a place to go. Sick and tired of running round. Flying high and falling down. . I'm gonna leave these blues behind.
When the stars line up. And you catch a break. People think you're lucky. But you know its grace. . It can happen so fast. Or a little bit late. Timing is everything.
Silver wings. Shinin' in the sunlight. Roarin' engines. Headin' somewhere in flight. . They're takin' you away. Leavin' me lonely. Silver wings. Slowly fadin' outta sight.
After all these years runnin' round. Flyin' high and fallin' down. Well, the time has come at last. To rest my heart and ease my past. . I'm gonna leave these blues behind.
Well, after all these years of running 'round. Always flying high and fallin' down. I gotta get back to the way I was. Gonna turn it all 'round just because.
Well, after all these years of running 'round. Always flying high and fallin' down. I gotta get back to the way I was. Gonna turn it all 'round just because.
I'm gonna wear you down.. I'm gonna make you see.. I'm gonna get to you,. you're gonna give in to me.. . I'm gonna start a fire.. You're gonna feel the heat..
There's my grandpa's old Gibson. And a girl of no importance. A shot of whiskey sitting on the bar. . Yeah, I used to give a damn. I used to try real hard.
Did I wake you up again?. Talking in my sleep. Unfamiliar afternoon. . We were out for a little while. Voices from the street. Sunlight in a rented room.
I am a lineman for the county. And I drive the main roads. Searchin' in the sun for another overload. I hear you singin' in the wires. I can hear you through the whine.

Walking from the bus stop. Couldn't wait to get off. I know I am the lucky one. . Walking through the twilight. Cold Nevada twilight. I know I am the lucky one.
Down from the attic in your old things. My new girlfriend has a curious streak. Half lit in the hall, she's like you. Twenty years ago. . Clothes from a case you'd thrown at me.
You always tell me. I'm just one more thing to break. You wonder why. I wanna fall apart that way. . Crack my reason. Wearing you pretty face. Dropped me a couple times.
One, two, three. . On the way out I'm thinkin'. You get what you take anyway. On the way out you're watchin'. Wonder if I am gonna pay. . No I'm just lookin' round.
Here comes the first good snow. Only to decorate a vacant yard. Moving out of here tonight. All that's left to do is sweep the floor. . Old address book in my hand.
