I've been walking up and down this road. Missing something, searching high and low. Grabbing anything I could hold. Holding tight and never letting go.
It's bottles and bibs. Rattles and cribs. 3 am's again and again. Comfort the cry. Man it's flyin' by. . Swings and slides. And tricycle rides. Skinin' up knees.
I stumbled on a bunch of junk of mine. In a shoebox the other night. In between cleaning up files and messes. That I'd made of my life. . Ticket stubs, poems and old letters.
How many times have I been face down. Drowin' in the bottom of a bottle?. Tryin' to get up only knocked me to me knees. . And how many times have I flown around this world.
Same Saturday night, same ol' crowd. Draggin' Main to the Safeway then turn back around. 'Til curfew and then head down to the river's edge and get drunk.
Fin'lly got over that song of ours; stopped chasin' little red sports cars,. To check the license plates an' back wood drivin' by your place.. Back makin' the rounds at our old haunts: Honky Tonks, restaurants..

I hear you smiling. Been look-in good. Nothing but blue sky's in your neighborhood. They say your tickle pink ever since you left me. And you been talking about me like you never met me but.
(Somebody got to help me ......). Tell me who.... who's gonna fill their shoes...... (know what I'm talking about). Tell me who....who's gonna fill their shoes.
I live out in the woods. People I got wolves' blood in my veins. I live way out in the woods. People you know I've got wolves' blood in my veins. Well you know the crocodiles and the foxes and the grizzles.
How could you stand there and tell me you love me. When you don't give a damn about yourself?. How could you stand there and tell me you love me. And woman, you don't give a damn about yourself?.
Nobody loves you like i do, i am as good a sit get. Nobody loves you like I do, I'm just as good as I get. I can chop the wood from, I'm the best damn fool that you ever met.
There's a road that goes to an old friends house. Where we grew up, where we hung out. I've Been on this highway for three hours now. And I'm trying to find it.
One of these days I'm gonna wake up. With somethin' to lose, and I'll get over you. I walk outside, I look at the sky. And for the first time, the clear blue eyes.
I work a double shift on Monday. Tuesday I get up before dawn. Wednesday pouring coffee. Thursday night I'm tending the bar. Well, when Friday night rolls around.
Charlie Daniels, Carolina.. The Devil went down to Georgia, nothin' could be finer.. Midnight Rider, Allman Brothers Band.. . I got your country right here..
He was 5 foot 7. Strong as an Oak tree. Yeah he had a good reason. for every lick he gave me. But he showed me the ropes. Good whiskey and smoke. And how to tell a dirty joke.
I like to speak my mind. Say grace at supper time. I'm just a dot on the map. . ain't scared to take a stand. For this little piece of land. Don't make me take you out back.
Oh, yes sir. . I don't care if it comes in a bottle. I don't care if it comes in a can. I don't care if it's stirred or shaken. Man, could you give me one for both hands?.
When I look at you these days. I think of all we've been through. You and I are one and the same. And I thank God for you. . I remember the youth and the days gone by.
