Friday night, the DQ's packed. We're lookin' good, got the top laid back. Me and my buddies, Tommy and Jack. Stones blarin' in the old 8 Track. Checkin' out the girls at the stoplight.
When the good Lord was handing out. The best things from above. We got the love. We got the love. . I know we don't have a lot of money. We can barely keep the bills paid honey.
Staring in your blue eyes. Seems like yesterday. Pledging to each other. Love would never go away. . The fire would burn forever. I'd always be your man.
(CHORUS). This time you've gone to far,. Shot an arrow through my heart.. This time those baby blues,. Made me fall in love.. My heart didn't have a chance,.
I was standing on the corner, waiting for the light.. When a silver Eldorodo, pulled up on the right.. I was looking for adventure, I was looking for a ride..
Top of the morning, sugarcoated days. The sun at my back, the wind in my face. Don't try to stop me. The boy's on a roll. . Parking my troubles and riding the wave.
Every little move she makes,. Is gonna catch somebody's eye.. You ought to see all the double-takes,. When she goes walkin' by.. But she's so distant..
The lonesome Texas sun was setting low.. And in the rear-view mirror I watched it go.. I can still see the wind in her golden hair.. I close my eyes for a moment I'm still there..
As you walk away. As we say goodbye. What I wouldn't give. For a tender lie. . Say you'll never stop loving me. Just as if it were true. How much more damage now, unto me.
All of your life you hold out for love. You give what you have still that's not enough. What went wrong. . 'Cause now what we share are too many fears.
There's a page back in my memory. That I turn from time to time. A picture of a long haired country girl. With her heart wrapped up in mine. Full moon over a gravel road.
Sometimes a woman and a man make plans. And then change in the middle of the stream. Why does the flame die, and where does the blame lie?. And what becomes of their dreams?.
She had her reasons and I really couldn't blame her. But I'd grown accustomed to having her near. Just when I thought I couldn't wait any longer. She called to tell me what I wanted to hear.
There's a highway that runs right through this town. Just a stream of light when the sun goes down. She'd look out the window to the west. One day this note was all she left.
On the edge of the gravel where the black top ends. We? re about to travel to where we? ve never been. Don? t need no signs no map we? ll just follow the wind.
Yes, I really saw her. What was I supposed to do?. Yes, she was my lover. Long before I knew you. . When love is a place you've been. Ten million miles around.
Waking up with my head in a cloud watching the morning come. Another day of the week in a month, in a year, in a life that's come undone. I might as well quit trying to get you off my mind.
You can't wait to get her in your nightlife. Take her out and show her all your bright lights. She wants to be there at the top of the world. But she's just a little girl.
You haven't said a single word to me this morning. Still upset about the fight we had last night. Well life's to short for silence in the hallway. Darling won't you look me in the eye?.
Who is the tall dark stranger there?. Maverick is the name. Riding a trail to who-knows-where. Luck is his companion. Gambling is his game. . Smooth as the handle of a gun.
