I know why you asked me here. You? re not sure the coast is clear. You? re about to speak your mind. This small talk is a bad sign. . How many days have I been here tonight.
When I get off of work on Friday. After working like a dog all week. I go to meet the boys for a cold one. At a little joint up the street. . They got a jukebox in the corner.
Let's take a rest. Your kisses take my breath. You are the best. It's never been like this.. . Chorus:. She used to say that to me. Over and over, so sweet.
(Kostas/Jim Lauderdale). . Last night I had a dream, dreamt I had it all. I had one truck, one car, one boat, one guitar. But all of these things wouldn't get me too far.
As the sun sets and you let go. And my dreams go that way too. And I watch the silhouettes flow out of clear view. . We can do this thing right. Fix what went wrong.
(Jim Lauderdale/Gary Nicholson). . Once you told me you were gonna love me. That it was meant to be and there's no other way. Then came someone showed you more fun.
I Lost You. I Lost You. You slipped from your costume. Like an actress in this tragedy. You're just an apparition in a haunting mystery. I fear that you've passed over me....
Let's take a rest. Your kisses take my breath. You are the best. It's never been like this. . She used to say that to me. Over and over so sweet. She'll tell you she'll never leave.
We touched the sun. We held the stars. We fell in love with open hearts. We chased our dreams. That went beyond. We did it all. We touched the sun. . When I look back I'm glad we found each other.
Well, I was coolin' my heels down in Flacktown. They was blazin' from a footrace with a hellhound. My heart was up on blocks from my last go-round. When you came roarin' in upon the rebound.
Looking elsewhere, looking around. . I sat me down, I sat me down. . Looking for answers where they can't be found. . I come around, I come around. . Elsewhere, that's where I was looking.
Well I forded the river. I paid all my bills. Gave a gift to the giver. Now I'm headed for the hills. . I paid back my borrows. Likewise all my dues. I'll be gone tomorrow.
I went out walking up high timberline. Snow fell like kisses, the air sweet as wine. Calling me back to the days you were mine. So close to heaven, up high timberline.
I stand before you now. A soldier of this war. I lay my weapons down. To fight no more. . I'm tired of being weak. And trying to ignore. That it was never me.
I know how the story ends where everything works out. I get the feelin' once again that I can't shake your doubt. Instead of hidin' from romance. You're gonna have to take a chance.
