Sure is quiet, sky's too blue. You ain't hiding but I can't find you. Sheets on the line so, nothing's changed. Guess it's nothing left to say. Read you like an open book.
The driveway winds up the hill. Through the wildflower fields. Where the kids like to play. There's a little creek by the willow tree. Oh yes, it's a beautiful place.
Why, oh why can't I lay this trouble down?. Lies, your lies keep coming back around. And 'round and 'round and 'round. . You're a shot of whiskey. Straight and smooth and killing me.
Sitting by the bed side, held his hand and kissed his face. Then he closed his eyes and I watched him slip away. Seems like only yesterday he was young as I am now.
There's a war inside of me. And you watch it silently. Any idiot could see. That I killed all the hope that I had. . There's a war inside of me. Burning red and honestly.
I could love you. Baby, if you want me to. I could go and fall for you. And never even try, hey, hey. . I could let you in. Baby, where nobody's been.
Holding you is revelation. Baby, I have seen the other side. And there's nothing there but lonely. So I live for doing only. What it takes to bridge the great divide.
Another long lonely night. Wrestling with what he's done. And what he might. Do while she cries. She's had enough. She's waking up. And she decides. .
You're like everybody else. Gotta deal with what you're dealt. You choose the story that you tell. Blame the world or blame yourself. Sometimes life comes at you hard.
Something's in the air, blowing through the trees. Got a fever in my bones, and something's calling me. Calling all my friends, got them yearning to be free.
Baby, it's alright, alright. Somehow we're gonna get to the bottom of this. If it takes us all night, all night. We'll work it till we find that something that fits.
I've seen it come and I've watched it go. The ins and outs and the highs and lows. Well I gave my heart and I paid the cost. For the loves I made there were friends I lost.
I don't know but I've been told. If you ain't busy livin' then you're getting old. That always seemed to make good sense to me. . So I've been running my whole life.
These days are filled with trouble. And the nights feel like they're all getting longer. These days are dark and gray. Like that storm rolling in across the water.
Last night in Memphis. Tonight in New Orleans. Tomorrow I'll be miles from here. Ain't nothin' to me, nothin' to me. . Sweet gypsy highway. Won't you let me chase my dream.
Long about midnight up on Chigger Hill. Making mischief in the moonlight. Just looking for a thrill. . Then the lights were coming and they're flashing blue.
She caught him sleeping in a liar's bed. Sneaking around just like a copperhead. Mr. Hot Shot, well, who's hot now?. . Love turned a corner and she turned the page.
Completely complacent, so decidedly vacant. I keep waiting for something to give but that something is always me. You consume what you're able, I get crumbs from your table.
I've been here before. It only made me cry. I felt so sure. I never questioned why. . Till I woke up alone. That's why I have to ask you. Baby, what's behind your kiss?.
I can see the moonlight shining off the tracks. Down beside the river and Lord, it takes me back. To that starry night when I made you mine. With a little midnight kiss.
