You told me you'd hold me. Now I know better. All you did fold me honey. Like a dear John letter. You put me in a box. With God and his uncle. Like a pair of gym socks.
Take back all those kisses that you stole from me. Take back mister and misses to your family. Can't take broken dishes when we fight all day, hey. Take back all best wishes, did I hear you say.
Get up; ya get down.. Get lost and then ya get found.. Sure as I'm sittin' here,. Sure as I'm sittin' here.. . Ya get a laugh; ya get a cry .. Get 'em all before you die..
Hot summer night, I was counting all the starlight on your skin. Airtight, as I watched you breathing out, I'm breathing in. By the lake, so humid that the moon was getting wet.
I used to drink a lot in those days you see. Ya, that's the way the wind blows. These days the only bar I ever see. Has got lettuce and tomatoes. . I get pumped up in the back of my mind.
Maybe your mama didn't treat you right,. Maybe her intentions weren't even very good. Maybe my daddy lay awake at night. Imagining himself in some other neighborhood.
Sometimes I don't even move a muscle. Baby when you lie awake at night. I think I've got nine lives in these corpuscles. Girl, you know sometimes I don't think right.
There's something broken in my heart. Oh it was nothing you done. There's something broken in my heart. I guess that's just the way it comes. . There's something broken in my heart.
Now your private life. Is in the public domain. And your one true love is just a lipstick stain. . And your point of view. Is just a figure of speech.
When I was a boy,. I thought it just came to you. But I never could tell what's mine. So it didn't matter anyway. . My only pride and joy. Was this racket down here.
You know she talks like ev'rybody in the room. Was gonna listen in. Carries on a conversation. Like some others call their children in. Tho you can't believe one sentence.
Oh what have you done with your life. Oh please don't tell me. Just shut up and go to work. Cause you're interrupting me. . I won't represent the U.S..
We've talked it to death, cryin' on the telephone.. Nights when he drinks at home, she has to whisper throught her tears.. " Johnny," she says, "you'd never do these things to me.".
There were seven little Indians. Living in a brick house on. Central Avenue. Gathered 'round their daddy. Tellin' stories in the living room. From a slightly unrealistic point of view.
My clothes are dirty and my shoes are worn through. And you want me to feel sorry for you. I dont know why I try to do my best. The rules are all written, girl youre giving me an oral test.
Same Old Man. . Truth Is I Never Was Young. Shot Like A Bullet From A Rusty Old Gun. I Could Never Find The Straight And True. Honey, Baby Till I Found You.
On the outside, a beautiful thing. On the inside, a bird with a broken wing. Chances taken, now the dark angels circle in the wind. You're mistaken, but still you'll do it all again.
I dreamed I did a good job and I got well paid. Blew it all at the penny arcade. A hundred dollars on a kewpie doll. I guess no white chick is gonna make me crawl.
Get a load of that guy. With the dew rag on. And the cowboy tie. Man that cat is gone. . Form Memphis to Nashville. Then way out west. Put that Hollywood party.
Ride My Pony. . Gray And Chalky Like My Granddaddy's Skin,. The Sky Was Cold And Lonely And Closin' In. All The Trees Look Like Stubble On Winter's Chin.
