Here you come draggin' in. Three a.m. again. Grinnin' that silly grin. Smellin' just like sin. . Holdin' up that alibi that's tissue paper thin. Diggin' down deeper and deeper.
Well, I love this life but it's doing me in. Just in case I don't ever see you again. I had a real good time, I love the wine. The women and song and the carryin' on.
I learned to swim when daddy threw me in the river. The army taught me how to shine my shoes. The years have shown me that nothin' lasts forever. But everything I know about the blues.
I'll fix some coffee while you check on your flight. Be sure to call me when you get there tonight. I put a card and a candle in your overnight. Baby, you sure look nice.
I told you I was doin' just fine. Didn't need nothin' in this life of mine. Was havin' a good time just bein' free. But you smiled that smile and just wouldn't listen.
I see you're takin' it awful hard. It all came down around you like a house of cards. He's got a young thing and she's calling him, honey. But you got the house and all that alimony.
I went to the reunion. Of the class of '84. And I saw my old sweetheart. Who said she just divorced. . We talked about the good days. And the life we once planed.
It breaks my hear to see. That you're unhappy here with me. The hurt you've tried to hide can't help but show. I could cling to the past. But I'm afraid it wouldn't last.
Captured by a renaissance dream. Tongue tied and twisted in the deep. Haunted by a renegade parading in my sleep. Stalked like a criminal in the open keep.
You say you want to find someone thats easy to talk to. Someone who will look you in the eyes and understand. Say youve been looking so long, you don't know if hes out there.
I saw some old friends the other day. And all they could talk about was how I've changed. They thought I'd be the last one to ever settle down. They can't believe I'm flyin' so high with both feet on the ground.
I had to leave her when I done her wrong. Figured I can come back before too long. And too soon as I moved out, you started comin' around. Just like an old friend to kick me when I'm down.
You and me out in the dark lookin' for shadows. Saturday night, a little too young to take good care. A little too wild, a little too old to get lost in the woods.
Caught myself worrying again today. Seems like it's always something, something I can't change. I'm either looking back, haunted by regret. Or finding trouble with tomorrow that hasn't even happened yet.
Every time we're alone like this. There's so much I wanna say. But we both know what we're feeling. Words just get in the way. . But tonight I wanna hold you.
I left a note on her pillow,. kissed her check and slipped off into the wind.. All she wanted to know last night was when she'd see me again.. If I only knew myself then maybe I could say,.
It's none of my business giving advice. You can take it or leave, you don't need to be nice. You're living through hard times and it's starting to show.

(Gary Nicholson/Donnie Fritts). . Everytime we're alone like this. There's so much I want to say. But we both know what we're feelin'. Words just get in the way.
(Gary Nicholson/Craig Wiseman). . I'm up and out the door before the sun comes up. Spillin' coffee, banging gears in my pickup truck. Racing every red light, getting to the jobsite.
