Southern man, you sure are pretty, got a smile to still the city. And, Lord, you know you got those sleepy eyes. Alabama sweet-talking baby, calmed the heart of a lonely lady.
I've been walkin' in my sleep. Countin' troubles 'stead of countin' sheep. Where the years went, I can't say. I just turned around and they've gone away.
I've heard enough from pundits, I've heard our leaders speak. I tell you now I'd rather talk to the people in the streets. 'Cause you don't know someone until you've looked them in the eye.
Stopped by your house the other day. Well, I decided not to knock. You had your shades pulled down low. And your screen door was locked. . I heard someone else call your name.
It's not working the way that I planned it. We're no closer than we were at the start. I can find my way to your body. But I can't find my way to your heart.
(Well all the beer and all my friends are gone). . It sure was fun having all the gang around tonight. Laughin' and singin' and talkin' about old times.
Came in here to do some drinkin' not what you're thinkin'. A little relexin's all I got on my mind. But I tell by the way you're lookin' at me you are lonely.
I can be tough, I can be tender. Strong as a saint, weak as a sinner. When I'm in your arms I'm so complete. You bring out what's inside of me. . A woman with a mind, body with a soul.
All I want is everything. On a silver platter and a champagne glass. All I want is everything. And that shouldn't be too much to ask. . All I want is everything, all I want is everything.
The first thing I did when you said "Goodbye". Was sit myself down and have a real good cry. The next thing I did was put my red dress on. And go downtown dancing till the break of dawn.

Well, if the whiskey doesn't get me, I know the memories will. 'Cause you left a hole in my heart, that's too deep to fill. But a drink or two, maybe three or four, for a while you're out of sight.
Hey farmer, you been livin' here all your life, not yet. Hey farmer, where does this road go?. Been livin' here all my life, it ain't gone nowhere yet.
I took the time to write to my old friend. I walked across that burning bridge. I mailed my letter off to Dallas but. Her reply came from Anchorage, Alaska.
A child like grace. I wish you could've seen her face. How bright that sunflower shone. . With a child like grace. Running all around the place. It should be said, "My, how you've grown".
You might say she started out. Without what folks call around here a fair shake. A little girl with no shoes on her feet. Tangled hair, and not a nickel to her name.
My life could not be better. My life is a total wreck. Can't string two thoughts together. But I can write a love song in my head. . One minute I'm strong and fearless.
I go all to pieces at the sight of of you. I tried to look the other way when you're around. But that takes more strenght than can be found. I just get weak as memories pass through I go all to pieces at the sight of of you.
So many times you told me that you loved me. And just as many times I found that its not true. So if you had your fun and you still need someone. Come on home to the arms of a fool.
Friends ask how I'll get along without you they say it's so sad we're apart. (And I have to agree that I don't seem like me I'm having a ball with my heart).
