You call me up at five to five, and you ask me if I'll drop by. That you need me, tonight you're all alone. Like the fool I am and the fool I'll be, I drove there anxiously.
(Wayland Patton, Jim Rushing). . Today we laid old man Pate to rest. His big hands folded across his chest. God rest his soul, just two days ago. He was in his yard wavin' to me.
My baby changes like the weather. One day she's warm and then she's cold. But some day I'll understand her better. In a thousand years or so. . But as long as there's blue sky above me.
I wish there was some way to tell you I'm sorry. That I didn't leave you a long time ago. But many mistakes are part of the story. And heartache by heartache, I've turned you to stone.
Her long legs looked like trouble. As she sashayed through the door. And my mind flashed a warning sign. That I chose to ignore. For the prize I thought that I could win.
Shattered inside and scattered around. Were pieces of her broken heart. I gathered her up, the pieces I found. I put her back together like a busted guitar.
some kids grow up on mean streets. dealing with the crypts and bloods. but me i was born on a back road. in a 4x4 rollin through the mud. the street kid deals with the dealer.
His pulpit's a corner. On 19th and Main. His grip on the gospel. His one claim to fame. . He hurls fire and brimstone. At the cars passing by. And he offers salvation.
If your paycheck depends on. The weather and the clock. If your conversation calls for. A little more than a coffee pot. . If you need to pour your heart out.

Well a big cardboard suitcase and a four-year old buick. Well aint's this a hell of a life. A hot Texas farm road and some quality foot wear. And me with three kids and a wife.
There's a little mountain church in my thoughts of yesterday. Where friends and family gathered for the Lord. Where an ol' fashioned preacher taught the straight and narrow way.
Way back when it all began. With muscle, wood and steel. Mighty man tamed the land. With a horse that rode on wheels. . It broke the heart of the red man.
He lies all alone in his bed. He thinks of the weekend they met. His ol' heart will never forget. Their world when romance. . He'd answer if someone should ask.
I sat bored at my piano. When he walked into the bar. When he nodded from his table. I said I know just how things are. Cause the only time I see you.
I'm mighty quiet for thunder,. Shut the shutters on my car.. She had me eatin from her hand,. The first night in the dark.. I did not see the danger,.
I've sent bouquets for Mother's Day,. For Father's Day, a shirt and a card.. While they came from the heart,. They all fell short of saying how special you both are..
Hey you there in the mirror. I didn't know you had a smile. I've watched the canyons on your face. Grow deeper with the miles. With your heart barely beating.
If your paycheck depends on the weather and the clock. If your conversation calls for a little more than a coffee pot. If you need to pour your heart out and try to rectify some.
Do you feel a kindred spirit, to the sound of pouring rain?. Does your heart start to yearning when you hear a distant train?. If you'd like to take that train and ride, to someone left behind.
