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 said the neighbors would come.
Look at you, look at me. My heart breaks, as I read our sad story. . Never thought that I'd be. Here with you wishing I was free. I never dreamed today would come.
Far away I've traveled,. To stand once more alone.. And hear my memories echo,. Through these hills that I call home.. . As a child I roamed this valley..
Sweet forgiveness, that's what you give to me.. When you hold me close,. And you say: "That's all over.". You don't go looking back,. You don't hold the cards to stack..
And you know the sun's settin' fast,. And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts.. Well, go on now and kiss it goodbye,. But hold on to your lover,.
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.
Last night before I went to sleep,. My knees dropped to the floor.. I turned me eyes up to the sky,. And I prayed: "Please help me, Lord.. "You know I've sowed my wild oats,.
Well, I've heard 'em say there's one for everybody,. And I just knew somehow that you'd be the one for me.. 'Cause making love with you's not just a hobby:.
Well, I woke up this morning without you.. Don't ask me how but I go t through.. The floor of this room I've been pacing;. Trying to drown out the sound my heart is making:.
There'll be laughter even after you're gone.. I'll find reasons to face that empty dawn.. 'Cause I've memorised each line in your face,. And not even death can ever erase the story they tell to me..
