If I have to lose you, to lose you. I'll forever wonder why. For then I would refuse you, refuse you. And that would be a lie. . But if I choose to love you, love you.
I opened the blinds in a Texas Motel room. When the sun blasted in, I saw it in you. I been a rollin' and a ramblin' all over creation. Rollin' down the highway lookin' for the truth.
Well, I left my home out on the Great High Plains. Headed for some new terrain. Standin' on the highway with my coffee cup. A wonderin' who was gonna pick me up.
Falling down the stair, gave me quiet a scare. Turned around to see if anybody saw. But no one's there 'cause you're not here. So no one cares and no one's waiting.
Downtown, stoplight, red car rolls by, what else can I do. But wonder if it's you. Scanning the stations, every song they're playin' is like a soundtrack.
There's something wrong, Lord I'm feeling it too. That runs through my heart like a torch cuts through steel. You haven't said a word, are you feeling it too.
I thought that life was runnin' off, leavin' me behind. So like a fool I jumped the fence just to see what I could find. But love kept disappearing like children chasing fire flies in the dark.
Sun stuck high in the air. Destination anywhere this road decides to go. Underneath the desert sky. I find a place to hide and rest my weary bones. This underpass will shade the heat.
Darlin', I'll pack up my clothes. Take my heart on down the road. I'll even make believe I don't love you. . Lose my mind, go insane. Turn my face to the pourin' rain.
Diablo motors had a hell of a sale, downtown yesterday. Word got around, no money down, take years and years to pay. When I got there the lot was bare, but the salesman said, "Hold on".
Darlin', as I look at you. It reminds me of how much in love I am. Oh, I'm a lucky man. . It won't mean love that's in your eyes. Only makes me realize where I should be.
I wouldn't count the times we talked about tomorrow. I wouldn't sing the lines when someone played our song. On lonely nights like this when I need a friend.
Most of me is scared to death. As I'm holding you tonight. Should I open up my heart to you. Or should I run for my life. . I come by caution, honestly.
Yesterday you walked away and left me. Today you say youre sorry that we're through. Our love will work, we'll heal the hurt, so help me. Laying blame is the last thing I would do.
For you the love that we knew is over and done. That may be, but as for me it still goes on. You found somebody new who made you forget. What we had but I can't do that yet.
I never did good in school I was a rebel at heart. While everybody was makin' the grade. I was getting up to no good down to an art. But then you came along and baby there I went.
(Bobby Braddock). . It used to be red wine there in room 3-2-9. Over the river where we weren't well-known. Now it's two coffees then off to the office.
I'm not a wealthy man, don't pay for my suntan. I work out in the heat and the cold. Sometimes, I'd like to be the big, bad wolf. Instead of just another sheep in the fold.
I'm out here stranded on this Oklahoma road. Nothing but a broken truck, heat and dust and a million high line poles. If only I could tap the line I'd be just fine.
You knew when you first met me. I was a good time kind of guy. You wanted me to change my ways. I told you that I'd try. . Well I've gone from wild and crazy.
