My son, my son, I pray that you'll come home to me. My son, my son, It seems only yesterday was. Whether you'd make the baseball team. Or get the new school jacket.
More and more I'm forgetting the past more and more I'm living at last. Day by day I'm losin' my blues more and more I'm forgetting bout you. . I wish you knew how hard I'd tried to keep you by my side.
Never knew what hurtin' was until today. Never thought that I could ever feel this way. Missing you missing you and only you what can I do missing you.
The minute you're gone I cry the minute you're gone I die. Before you walk out of sight I'm like a child all alone at night. I stare into emptiness I'm filled with such loneliness.
Seventeen and innocent. I wonder where all the years went. Lookin' back on a youth misspent. God, I miss those days. . All the chances that we took. Always leaped and never looked.
I pick up the phone that's ringin' inside my head. It's your old familiar voice drippin' like honey. Sayin', c'mon, c'mon, let's tie one on. Your know I can be there in a heartbeat.
Mama keeps tryin to get the game on the radioDaddys gotta know the score. Theres a big yellow thing on a flat bed trailer. Wonder what that things forWe got towels rolled up in the back seat window.
You are my special angel sent from up above. The Lord smiled down on me and sent an angel to love. You are my special angel right from paradise. I know that you're an angel heaven is in your eyes.
You followed me to Texas. You followed me to Utah. We didn't find it there, so we moved on. . Then you went with me to Alabama. Things looked good in Birmingham.
Hand in hand we walk Miami sidewalks the summer sun burnin' through our minds. When you're busted and you got no friends seems like the bad times never end.
My life, it don't count for nothing.. When I look at this world, I feel so small.. My life, it's only a season:. A passing September that no one will recall..
(chorus) Mornin glory, fuschia in green. You sweet little Jezebel in my garden of dreams. Petals clenched tightly in the late morning sun. My day is just starting, your day is done.
Mornin' glory, fuschia in green. You sweet little Jezebel in my garden of dreams. Petals clenched tightly in the late morning sun. My day is just starting, Your day is done.
I'd walk for miles, cry and smile for my Mama and Daddy. I want them, I want them to know. How I feel, my love is real for my Mama and Daddy. I want them to know I love them so.
Well, it got so hot last night I swear you couldn't hardly breathe. Heat lightning burned the sky like alcohol. I sat on the porch without my shoes. and watched the cars roll by.
She grew up plain and simple in a farming town. Her daddy played the fiddle and used to do the calling when they had hoedowns. She says the neighbors would come and they'd move all my grandma's furniture 'round.
# 11 Mama Was Always Tellin Her Truth. Slow She'd walk down the levy from big alley all the Brighton every morning. (Piano intro). . Well my mama she was always tellin her truth, Times were hard and thats how she made it through.
Makin' my way back home,. It's been the longest time. Not since I was a little child,. Have I felt so good and fine. The easiest thing I've ever done,.
We were having a drink at Stockman's,. Listenin' to the guitars ring.. Jesse said "You know,they sold the M.C. horses.". "I'll be damned.When was that?" I hadn't heard a thing..
Evening shadows make me blue when each weary day is through. How I long to be with you my happiness. Everyday I reminisce dreaming of your tender kiss.
