(Let me tell you the saddest part of all). It was sad so sad when you left me and me thinking I stood so tall. Now you're gone and I should forget you.
Sunset Man. (James Otto / Shannon Lawson / John Rich). . I used to wake up early every day. Just to feel the sunrise on my face. Me and my woman in the front porch swing.
My ol' man was a contradiction. A real hard man to figure. He'd read the King James Bible. While sippin' on corn liquor. . He'd get drunk and he'd get to preachin'.
Ain't been no blue sky out your window. You just don't want endless rainy day. All you do is cry there on your pillow. Well, baby, I can change your ways.
The last fifty years. Have seen laughter and tears. And your hair slowly fade to gray. . Your children are grown now. And it's hard to believe. How the years have just all slipped away.
Grand-daddy came home in a B-52. In a pine box covered in red, white and blue. He was one of the brave and the proud and the few. . Twenty-one guns helped us say goodbye.
She walks around late at night. In my old Allman Brothers T-shirt and not much else. There's a hint of her perfume in the air. She lets her hair dry all by itself.
Every night when the sun goes down. She takes a drive to my side of town. Needin' somethin' that she ain't found. So she comes to me. . The only thing that he's done wrong.
You been workin' all week long. Now you're dyin' to cut loose. [Incomprehensible] all nine to five. For some twelve bob blues. . Let music tell your brain.
I guess you had your reasons. For the way you used to be. Dont why I couldnt please you. You just never had much faith in me. Theres fine dust in the tire ruts now.
I saw Pete and Johnny too. Dressed up in their Sunday suits. Getting themselves all up to go. Down to Richmond to the traveling show. I fixed the gate like you told me to.
Where you going. with your head hung down. Papers blowin' through the streets of town. They've already taken all. of your posters down. Didn't take 'em long once.
There's some things I know to be true. Snow is white and the ocean is blue. Rain is wet when it falls from the sky. And the stars come out every night.
She was nine years old when I first met her. She didn't dress like anyone. When she ran in a race the boys couldn't catch her. I stood back and let her run.
spinning, spinning, spinning. a spinning ghost. on the bottom of a top. dizzyin my host. . haunted, haunted, haunted. haunted anew. all the time i'm living.
Somewhere there should be for all. The world to see a statue of a fool made of stone. An image of a man who let love slip through his hands. . And then just let him stand there all alone.
Before I go, there's something I must know. Just what's inside of you, you can't control. That pulls you like a puppet on a string. Away from me to something unseen.
She said if I ever deceived her. She'd be gone before I could count ten. But I guess that I didn't believe her. 'Cause look at the trouble I'm in. . She's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone.
How lucky I am to have searched for. And found the beginning of the rest of my life. She wakes me with a kiss every morning. And she loves me to sleep every night.
Morning's come and Lord, my mind is aching. The sunshine's standing quietly at my door. Just like the dawn my heart is silently breaking. With my tears it goes tumbling to the floor.
