I don't mind the thought of growing old. But I don't Want to lose my sense of humor. I'm okay as long as I can laugh. I don't care if everything goes wrong.
I used to think that love was. Something meant to tie me down. All I ever wanted was a. Guitar and another town. . Ten years disappear so fast. When you're strung out on the high wire lines.
The rock of my soul went to church on Sunday. The rock of my soul went to work on Monday. Clean across the levy by the railroad tracks. The other side of Houston in a two room shack.
Give to me my time and money. Give to me my milk and honey. Give to me my self respect. Golden chains around my neck. . Give to me my super model. Corporate jet and champagne bottle.
There's a man in me. He's cold and he's hard. He's got an eye for deception. He's always on guard. . He's swimming in concrete. Drowning in fear. And he keeps it all locked in his heart.
There's no feelin' no better than this. There's no mountain so high I can't climb. There's no shortage of comfort and bliss. There's no reason I burned holes in my mind.
We moved into a house in Tennessee. From the California desert where we did not wanna be. Where the grass was high and the rivers green the sky was always blue.
Rain came down in endless sheets of thunder. Lightning bolts split pine trees down to the roots. In the shadow of the Astrodome. With a hurricane coming on strong.
Some say it's destiny. Whether triumph or tragedy. But I believe we cast our nets out on the sea. And nothing we gather. Comes for free.. . I would have paid down through the years.
