Well, we know it ain't the first time. We know it used to be my past time. And a couple of weeks back we agreed. That was gonna be my last time. But I guess that night I plumb forgot.
Always be momma's baby, always be daddy's girl. Right now she's makin' 'em crazy. Little Red Robin' Hood, big bad world. . She ain't waitin' on twenty-one candles.
Saw a story on the local news last night. 'Bout one more struggling single mother. She was talking about how hard it is getting by. With no help, no money, no nothing from the baby's father.
She got up and put her makeup on. Made a pot of coffee extra strong. At the kitchen table sucking on a cigarette. . Read the paper in a cloud of smoke.
Work, work, work, day after day. Fifty hour week, forty hour pay. No time to get over on this overtime. Yeah, I'm always runnin', I'm always runnin' behind.
I was born in the south. Given to a town raised on handsome mouth. Born on the same day as the sun. Holding in the earth, seen one by one. . A dot in the cold, waiting to rot.
She got up and put her makeup on. Made a pot of coffee extra strong. At the kitchen table sucking on a cigarette. . Read the paper in a cloud of smoke.
Mama got depressed. When Daddy was a-dying. So the doctor gave her something. To help her with her crying. Then she couldn't sleep. So he gave her something else.
I'm fallin' head over heels for him. He's callin' me twice a night then callin' again. When I talk he likes to listen. He says I'm the one he's been missin'.
We've got a strong love. And it's a lifelong love. Me and you. . And when it's tested. We can't rest until. Trouble blows on through. . Storms of love may try to take us down.
I played along with the charade. There doesn't seem to be a reason to change. I try to fake it but it's always the same,. A part of me is gone.. . I gave it up, I gave away..
A little bit south of West Virginia. The miles go by and the engine roars. I've come so far tryin' to forget you. So far from that slammin' door. . Day dawned bright in the Shenandoah.
If this life should lead you down a lonely road. And you need someone at your side. I'd like to be the one to share your load. The loving arms where you can come and hide.
By the way you watch the sunset, I can tell. Soon you'll saddle up that ol' strawberry roan. Bid goodbye to the goodnight lovin' trail. And set off to blaze a new trail of your own.
Hello boys, I bet you're wonderin' where I've been. What kind of fix have I been gettin' my fool self in. Have I been hittin' the hard stuff? No. Locked up? Well, that ain't so.
She said, "Sir, do you need the instruction manual?. Well, no, ma'am, there's no job I can't handle". Don't matter to me if it's high or low tech. I'm either ways, all hands on deck.
When you break it to your mama. Break it to her gently. You wouldnt wanna break her heart. When you lay it on you daddy. . Make sure he aint been drinkin.
