It's 4 in the morning. and she'll be gone by 5. She's got me tangled in sheets. And all tangled up inside. I can feel her heart racing. Like a bird that needs to fly.
I've been workin' all week, I can hardly wait. I got a houseboat rented down on the lake. My pickup's gassed up and loaded up and ready to go. I put out the word to all my good-time friends.
Well I've been sitting here just thinking. Dealing with my feelings about leaving. Trying to keep from drinking. And every day I pray that I make it through one more day.
Hey, hey turn up that song. I think about you when it comes on. And I get lifted off the ground. And when you're in my arms. I feel the beat down in my heart.
Yeah, he was sitting by me at the beach front bar. He seemed pretty tore up so I bought him a beer. And we lit up a couple of Cuban cigars. . Well, a couple beers in we was gettin' profound.
Summertime drivin' fast down an old back road. Feelin' fine you've got Skynyrd on the radio. The moon is bright me and my baby gonna break new ground.
Yeah, one of these days I'm gonna write you off. Have this tattoo removed once and for all. Wake up smiling in another life. Without you taking up all the space in my mind.
My love goes on and on and on and on. And on and on and on and on and on and on. . There's only so many stars in the night. That can make up a milky way.
Now I know how Merle Haggard felt. When he sang the words mama tried. And I've lived those teenage Friday nights. The pyramid of cans in the pale moon light.
I took all my pictures of you and I. Threw them all away. I drank down that bottle of wine that we. Swore we would save. For some special occasion. . Some big moment.
Miss me, baby when you hear our favorite song. Miss me, baby and when you start to sing along. Think about all the times that we danced. In the light to it all night long, oh.
I'm exhausted. Tryin' to catch my breath the morning after. Pour my coffee. With shakin' hands and my world in disarray. . Lost in the softness and strength that's in her hands.
Look at me. And tell me what you want is what you see. And hold me close. And make it feel like you won't ever let me go. . You give me some kind of sign.
For so long I searched in desperation. For one love that would always be true. And I came close but there were always complications. I finally decided there was nothing I could do.
I saw it in her eyes when I was sayin', "Goodbye". That girl, she ain't gonna be alright. 'Cause I could tell that she'd be goin' through a livin' hell.
Flip flops and bottle tops strewn across his hotel room. What a night, what a party what a place, Cancun. Got your pretty little head on my sun burnt chest.
On that very first day, the Lord sat down. And saw fit to say let there be light!. So He could tell the day time from the night.. And then He spoke again and we felt the wind.
You've always been a friend of mine. And that's the way we'll be 'til the day I die. Yeah, it's good to know you're on my side. . 'Cause now you know she's leaving me.
Remember how time used to drag. The summer couldn't get here fast enough. You made A's and B's, I was C's and D's. Your daddy hated me, 'cause you were into me.
I'll never be anybody's hero. Or the legend of a story or a saint that's bound for glory, no. And I'll never know what it's like to swim in money. Or how it feels not to have to go to work on Monday.
