They tell me little darlin',. That tomorrow you'll be wed,. You thought that you would hurt me,. But you hurt yourself instead,. I'll always be the same old pal,.
All of these words on paper. All of these thoughts in my head. The times I feel out of favor. The fear that sleeps in my bed. . All of these stones in my pocket.
She's perfect for a cotton dress. Pretty when her hair's a mess. A little wine and she gets a little loud. . Once or twice she's bleached my jeans. She's been known to burn the beans.
(Phil Barnhart/Sam Hogin/Jim McBride). . His name was Travis, hers was Vanessa. Two Texas kids from west of Odessa. Young love and lust defy rational thinkin'.
My heart's too broke to pay attention. If love was a penny I couldn't afford to fall. Every girl in the world tonight could have sweet intentions. My heart's too broke to pay attention.
I know you're holding your breath, yu're wondering what's coming next. Can't be too careful this time. No love ain't something you trust, you've seen a little too much.
If I remember right, her name was Betty. We were graduatin, seniors goin steady. I was hesitant to wed but she was ready. For holy matrimony. . Till one night walkin home.
I know you're holding your breath. You're wondering what's coming next. Can't be too careful this time. No Love ain't something you trust. You've seen a little too much of the quittin' kind.
My hearts too broke to pay attention. If love was a penny I couldnt afford to fall. Every girl in the world tonight could have sweet intentions. My hearts too broke to pay attention.
A herd of wild horses, a stampede of cows. The sheriff's department with a pack of bloodhounds. Ain't ever gonna move me away from your side. I'm off and running, I'll be here forever now.
Bob's in his recliner for the ten O'clock news. Dogs are on the porch, chickens in the coop. Sidewalks are rolled up, stoplights blinkin' red. Sheriff's safe at home, already gone to bed.
(Sam Hogin/Phil Barnhart/Sunny Russ). Love was alive on the telephone line. Honeysuckle hangin' in the hot sunshine. Dust piled up on my daddy's combine.
Verse 1:. . Sun comes up, tide goes out, a new day begins. Palm trees sway, as children play, in the sand. Seagulls fly, across the sky, two by two. Another perfect day for missin' you.
