Friend I can't believe you called me over here tonight. Thinkin' I might recognize that girl out on the floor. I must admit she looks just like someone I used to know.
Storm clouds risin', flash of lightning. Rattles that ole porch swing. Window open, curtains dancing. Just you and me. As the thunder rolls on we'll just hold on.
You've been gone almost a month. Girl I nearly died. For twenty seven days and nights. Sat right here and cried. If it wasn't for your memory. I'd been here all alone.
Last night I dreamed I went to sleep for good. And in the crowd that gathered ?round, there you stood. When it finally came your turn to say goodbye. Right then and there, I watched you break down and cry.
An old man name is Johnson. Had a mansion on a hill. A brand new car, a lumberyard. And a big ol' stack of bills. . The folks around these parks say. He can buy the whole damn town.
I'd like to lay this old hammer down. And drive my pickup truck to town. Find a friend and just hang around. If I could just be me. . Grab a bobber and my old cane pole.
I got a place that I like to slip off to. When everything starts closin' in. And I got some ways that the world don't agree with. Yeah, some folks would call it a sin.
All day long I break my back. To keep this company in the black. There's gotta be an end to all this labor. When I hear that whistle blow. . I can't wait to see your smiling face.
I got a lot of highway to travel. I got a little lady on my mind. I'm already pullin' over callin' Caroline. . I got to be in Bowling Green by mornin'.
Ever since you told me we were through. Ive been down, Ive been down. The love you said Id find to take your place. Never came around, never came around.
Storm clouds rising, flash of lightning. Rattles that old porch swing. Window open, curtains dancing. Just you and me. As the thunder rolls on, we'll just hold on,.
The day you said goodbye. Without a tear in your eye. I just can not believe. You could take from my life. Half of everything and all of my heart. . Loneliness and your name.
