It's like looking in the window of a fine boutique. Knowing there is nothing I could ever buy. Still I want your love so much that I could die. But I just can't lead a double life being one man's lover one man's wife.
Picking for the wait staff again, baring my soul up on stage. Where my guitar's my only friend. Slurring the words to a hit song from a bottle that never ends.
The curtain of darkness is fallin. And my friends are all here at my side.. Are those the sweet voices of angels. As I rise on that heavenly tide?. . All hearts overflowin with sadness.
The word is "faithful," look it up. It don't mean sneakin' around behind my back. Like you ain't gettin' enough. . How 'bout "forever". Just look it up.
Stumbled to Bongo Java for a cup.. They're out of my favorite beans: ain't that my luck?. The heater in my car's blowin' cold.. Got my divorce attorney on the 'phone..
Young lovers in a picture frame. Ever notice how there ain't no rain. Nobody hangs hard times on the wall. You won't see it in an 8 by 10. But there's a storm every now and then.
Shake off the sleep, grab my favorite cup. I'm wide awake when the sun comes up. The mornin' light shares a secret with me. And it's one that's just too good to keep.
A letter from home came this morning. And each line on that handwritten page. Drew a picture of life in Louisiana. And just how long that I've been away.
Lonesome Road Blues. . I walked on down that lonesome line. Hung my head and I cried. I wept and I cried under a willow tree. Out by the deep blue sea.
Leather Britches. . Little boy, little boy. Whered you get your britches. Mama cut the leather out. Daddy made the stitches. . Leather britches full of stitches.
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.
