I wish I had button eyes and red fat nose. Shaggy cotton skin and just one set of clothes. Sittin' on the shelf in the local department store. With no dreams to dream and nothing to be sorry for.
A tear dropped by a tear dropped by this morning I found it in my eye. Honey it should be there I hadn't planned to cry. But I guess I should know by now no matter how I try.
You can take possession darling. When I hear you say I do. When you slip a ring on my finger. Take possession, I belong to you. . Some folks give away their love too soon.
If you can find it in your heart to just forgive. I'll come back and live the way you wanted me to live. All I want is just to be your girl. Please come and get me and take me to your world.
Why must you always try to make me over take me as I am or let me go. White lilies never grow on stalks of clover take me as I am or let me go. You're trying to reshape me in a mold love.
Well here I am again bartender says it's closing time. He knows I'll keep coming back and you're the reason why. I could never drink enough to drink you off my mind.

Well, here I am again. Bartender says it's closing time. He knows I'll keep coming back. And you're the reason why. I could never drink enough. To drink you off my mind.
You're not the only girl in town. All my friends keep tellin' me. You're not thee only girl in town. But you might as well be. . There's more than one star in my sky.
The neigbor next door looks worried her face looks tired and hurried. And she just told me that she couldn't go on. The man she married for money has found another honey.
There was a time we'd sit in the backyard. 'Cause the house would get so hot. From the summer sun, there was no way of sleepin'. And you'd play your old guitar, we'd fight mosquitoes and enjoy.
Don't be troubled 'bout me cause I'm tired. From workin' 'round the house. When day is done. Don't think you failed me cause you can't afford. That dishwasher to make my life more fun.
On the back side of Dallas in the dingy bar on a wornout stool she sits. And her trembling hand thumbeles for another kingside filter cigarette. She blows a puff of smoke then settles back and look across that light blue haze.
You had quite good thing goin' with the girls you used to knowin'. You went up and down your list just like a yo-yo. And though it may be hard to stop it I'm afraid you'll have to drop it.
It's so still I can't hear the pages that fall as I look through my yearbook again. And I know I'll cry at the picture I see teardrops on page forty-three.
From the seed of a lifetime to the harvest years. A girl knows the bitter and sweet taste of tears. The first love was a green love it was free and sincere.
I got a feeling of deja vu. When I walked through that door. Don't mean to be too forward. But haven't we met before. You must be from Tennessee. Ain't no doubt it's true.
There is no need to say another word. It will be golden and eternal just like that. Something good will come of all things yet. Simple golden eternity blessing all.
Another turning point. A fork stuck in the road. Time grabs you. By the wrist. Directs you where to go. So make the best. Of this test. and don't ask why.
I think honesty is right, think lying is wrong. Think Willie and Haggard wrote some awful good songs. Think God rides around with the radio on. In a ragged ol' truck just like mine.
