Her last lonely teardrop fell. Along about nine oclock. His memory was history. Before she hit the parking lot. . She busted through them swingin' doors.
Well, I've done it every way they say it oughta be done. But if I can't be me, well, it ain't much fun. So I bowed out, said, "I gotta go. Gotta crank it on up, I got to free my soul.

I've got some mighty tall tales from livin' hard and fast. I'm a walkin,' talkin,' livin,' breathin,' portrait of my past. I've double-crossed the devil, prayed the Lord my soul to keep.
Of all the things I've ever done. I'd be hard pressed to think of one. That makes me feel the way you do. Nothing compares to loving you. . Of all the things I've yet to try.
Well, I've moaned the blues since she slammed that door. I drank and cried and I walked the floor. And her memory's backed me against the wall. So tonight I'm gonna end it all.
This is my kind of town. I ain't never seen nothing like it. In all my traveling 'round. . This old highway ever gives me up. And I think about settling down.
Somewhere out there in the smoky air. Where the night is neon blue. Surrounded by strangers, she don't know the dangers. One drink could lead her to. .
There was a brand new stranger at the old bus station. He said, "Music City is my destination". He said, "The whole wide world's gonna sing my song. And you can take that to the bank".
With every drink I take, it's gettin' harder to recall. And I ain't gonna stop until I forget it all. 'Cause once upon a time she used to love me so. But that was many, many, many beers ago.
Yeah, we all know it's comin'. Every year Thanksgivin' Day. We're gonna wish we hadn't. But we all come over anyway. . And it's nice to see the family.
Always wanted one to put me to the test. A hot blooded woman that could love a man to death. I got what I wanted but Lord I gotta say. She's lovin' me into an early grave.
Baby, you and me underneath the steeple. Two I do's and a half a dozen people. I can see it all plain as day, come on baby, don't be afraid. You can make a dream come true just like that.
Right now gonna take you in my arms. Hold you closer and tighter than I ever have. I'm gonna say all the things that I thought could wait. Now I realize that later could be a little too late.
(AT) right now I'm going to take you in my arms. hold you closer and tighter than I ever have. I am going to say all the things that I thought could wait.
A couple of bucks worth the change in the ashtray, a half a tank of Texaco. Now you're sitting with your feet on the dash fiddling with the radio. Take a left at the edge of town, out where the roads ain't paved.
I put down my razor, toweled off my face. Thought I saw a new wrinkle and another strand of gray. That one little scar kept catching my eye. Reminding me how time does fly.
Baby, you make me feel like a million dollar bill. And your cute little smile's driving me hog wild. Yeah, I'm a one lucky dog that just can't lose. But that's enough about me, let's talk about you.
Girl I can tell that you're thinking of leaving. But it'll hurt me so much you don't want me to know. You've done all you can to hide what you're feeling.
When I look back on this life and all the things that I have done. Lord, I've paid some pretty prices for never backing up. But now that I've had time alone and I've been through every page.
