I said the night you left me. Nothin' worse could ever happen. But seeing you with someone else proved that I was wrong. And when your eyes met mine. I knew that you were gone forever.
I called your name out loud to a stranger yesterday. When she turned around, I said, "I'm sorry" and just walked away. From a distance she had that look.
I never knew the power of a song. 'Til I heard the music playin', the day mama passed on. Never knew what innocence was about. 'Til the first time I'd laid eyes on the face of a new-born child.
It was six in the morning when I made the county line. There's someone I got to talk to, I can't get it off my mind. He is just a kid and he's in a pretty rough spot.
I can't believe I spend every free second with you,. doing this for years, Mona Lisa, I need your presence,. you always laugh away the time, I see you need me too,.
Couldn't stand all the pain, you caused, love was gone. I know you didn't mean to hurt me, but you were cold ,. like a stone. I didn't wanna see, a day without you.
I've waited all my life to find that special someone. Someone I could call my own. Someone to stick by me through good times and bad. No more playing games, I'd never be alone.
In the lobby of a big hotel in New York Town, one day. Sat a bunch of fellows telling yarns, to pass the time away. They told of places where they'd been and different things they'd seen.
Here comes Johnny Come Lately. A dozen roses in his hand. Just to show me that he cares for me,. Hes doing everything he can.. He wants to wrap his arms around me.
I hate love,. what's it ever done for me,. but cause me a lot of grief,. lost me a lot of sleep. Every time I say I've had enough,. I'm never doing that again,.
I don't know how it happened but it did. I don't know why it's over but it is. I don't know where it comes from when it's on. I don't know where it goes to but It's gone.
Momma died young giving birth to a son in a home for wayward girls. Daddy was sidewalk, soapbox preacher. Looking forward to the end of the world. Every Friday night he'd pick a Jesus fight down at the local pool hall.

Sunset, a clear blue lake, fishing with the boys. A weekend, hanging out with my best friends. Tall tales and ice cold beer, well, I cant blame you guys.
Some people say there's no American dream. I hear them talking but they don't say a thing. I still believe you've got to give it to get. Baptize your every aspiration in sweat.

You know me, Lord. Better than I know myself. You let me fall. And You knew it was all for the best. . You picked me up. Somehow I landed on higher ground.
You place your hand on His Bible, when you swear to tell the Truth. His name is on our greatest Monuments, and all our money too,. And when we Pledge allegiance, there's no doubt where we stand,.
In a week or two. I would have been ready. I would have known what to say. But I missed my chance. When the words, "I love you". Came just a little too late.
What is the world comin' to when lovers can't believe. They got a love comin' true then they up and leave. They say they will when they won't. They say I do and then they don't.
