There ain't a lot that you can do in this town. You drive down to the lake and then you turn back around. You go to school and you learn to read and write.
Way out yonder, where the wild wind blows. There's a place there lonely fools can go. Where if you hold your money, it'll burn your hand. So you buy you a ticket to the shadowland.
Jimmy joined the army â??cause he had no place to go. There ain't nobody hirin'. 'Round here since all the jobs went. Down to Mexico. Reckoned that he'd learn himself a trade maybe see the world.
I was born on the other side of town. Everybody over here just put me down. I never thought about it much. Till the first time I saw you. Uh oh, what's a poor boy gonna do.
I was almost outta here. I nearly left this time. I saw you in my rear view mirror. And I pulled up on a dime. . But nothin' ventured, nothin' lost. You can't say we didn't try.
Just open your window. On a night like tonight. No matter which way the wind blows. Let your heart out to ride. High above all the care and woe. In the world down below.
She was her daddy's little darlin'. Her mama's only child. They didn't understand at all. When she took to running wild. . She left town one day and never said goodbye.
I'm the keeper of your heart. I keep the flame when we're apart. And I'm a lover in your arms. Or a baby soft and warm. . I'm a hero in your eyes. I'm a comfort when you cry.
Once upon a time, in a far off land. Wise men saw a sign and set out aross the sand. Songs of praise to sing, they travelled day and night. Precious gifts to bring, guided by the light.
He was standing on the highway. Somewhere way out in the sticks. Guitar across his shoulder. Like a 30 ought six. He was staring in my headlights. When I come around the bend.
There's a train a comin'. There's a train a comin. Hear them tracks a hummin'. There's a train a comin'. Can't you hear her blowin'. Can't you hear her blowin'.
There's a train a comin'. There's a train a comin. Hear them tracks a hummin'. There's a train a comin'. Can't you hear her blowin'. Can't you hear her blowin'.
Just when every ray of hope was gone. I should have known that you would come along. I can't believe I ever doubted you. My old friend the blues. Another lonely night, a nameless town.
I'm trying hard to let you go. But it's more than I can do. And every day or two. I wind up right back where I started. . I'm trying not to let you know.
Me and ol' Bill there we both come from Georgia. Met Hank out in New Mexico. We're bound for Duranqo to join Pancho Villa. We hear that he's payin' in gold.
It doesn't get any lonelier than this. I believe my heart'll break. Tonight I prayed I'd die before I wake. With every breath I'm tastin' your kiss. And it's sweet upon my tongue.
Hey little guy, I can't believe you answered the phone. I guess I didn't know you could do that. Lord help me, have I been gone that long. Now, I'm in a truck stop somewhere on the Arkansas line.
Girl, don't bother in lockin' door. He's out there hollering, "Darlin' don't you love me no more?". You always let him in before, now didn't you. . He's just singin' the same old song.
I'm an American, boys, I've come a long way. I was born and bred in the USA. So listen up close, I've got something to say. Boys, I'm buying this round.
I'm just an American boy, raised on MTV. And I've seen all the kids in the soda pop ads. But none of 'em look like me.. So I started lookin' around for a light out of the dim.
