You may think that I'm talking foolish
You've heard that I'm wild and I'm free You may wonder how I can promise you now This love that I feel for you Always will be You're not just time that I'm killing I'm no longer one of those guys As sure as live This love that I give Is gonna be yours until the day that I die Oh baby I'm gonna love you forever Forever and ever, amen As long as old men sit and talk about the weather As long as old women sit and talk about old men If you wonder how long I'll be faithful I'll be happy to tell you again I'm gonna love you Forever and ever Forever and ever amen They say time takes its toll on a body Makes a young girl's brown hair turn gray Well, honey, I don't care I ain't in love with your hair And if it all fell out I'd love you anyway Well, they say time can play tricks on a memory Make people forget things they knew Well, it's easy to see It's happening to me I've already forgotten every women but you Oh baby I'm gonna love you forever Forever and ever, amen As long as old men sit and talk about the weather As long as old women sit and talk about old men If you wonder how long I'll be faithful Just listen to how this song ends I'm gonna love you Forever and ever Forever and ever amen I'm gonna love you Forever and ever Forever and ever Forever and ever amen |

On one hand I count the reasons I could stay with you
And hold you close to me, all night long. So many lover's games I could play with you and on that hand I see no reason why it's wrong Chorus: But on the other hand, There's a golden band To remind of someone who would not understand On one hand I could stay and be your loving man But the reason I must go is on the other hand In your arms I feel the passion, I thought had died When I looked into your eyes I found myself When I first kissed your lips I felt so alive I've got to hand it to you girl, you're something else Repeat Chorus |

Suppose I called you up tonight and told you that I loved you And suppose I said "I wanna come back home". And suppose I cried and said "I think I finally learned my lesson" And I'm tired a-spendin' all my time alone. If I told you that I realised you're all I ever wanted And it's killin' me to be so far away. Would you tell me that you loved me too and would we cry together? Or would you simply laugh at me and say: "I told you so, oh I told you so I told you some day you come crawling back and asking me to take you in I told you so, but you had to go Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again". If I got down on my knees and told you I was yours forever Would you get down on yours to and take my hand? Would we get that old time feelin', would we laugh and talk for hours The way we did when our love first began? Would you tell me that you'd missed me too and that you'd been so lonely And you waited for the day that I return. And we'd live in love forever and that I'm your one and only Or would you say the tables finally turned? Would you say: "I told you so, oh I told you so I told you some day you come crawling back and asking me to take you in I told you so, but you had to go Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again". "Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again". |

Someday, Someway You'll realise that you've been blind Yes Darling, you're going to need me again It's just a matter of time Go on, go on Til you reach the end of the line Cause I know you'll pass my way again It's just a matter of time After I gave you everything I had You laughed and you called me a clown Remember in your search for fortune and fame What goes up must come down I know, I know That one day you'll wake up and find That my love is a true love It's just a matter of time Words are spoken with chords played Someday and Someway Girl you'll realise that you've been blind Yes Darling, I know you gonna need me again It's just a matter of time After I gave you everything I had You laughed and you called me a clown But remember in your search for fortune and fame What goes up must come down I know, I know That one day you'll wake up and find That my love was a true love It's just a matter of time |

I'm getting out of this high-rise penthouse suite Where we pretend life's rosy and sweet I'm going back to the folks that I used to know Where everyone is what they seems to be And these high-class friends that you like to hang around When they look my way they're always looking down I'm tired of spending every dime I make To finance this way of life I've learned to hate I'm going back to a better class of loser This up-town living's really got me down I need friends who don't pay their bills on home computers And who buy their coffee beans already ground You think it's disgraceful that they drink three-dollar wine But a better class of loser suits me fine You say the grass is greener on the other side From where I stand I can't see grass at all And the concrete and the steel won't change the way you feel It takes more than caviar to have a ball I'm going back to a better class of loser This up-town living's really got me down I need friends who don't pay their bills on home computers And who buy their coffee beans already ground You think it's disgraceful that they drink three-dollar wine But a better class of loser suits me fine You think it's disgraceful that they drink three-dollar wine But a better class of loser suits me fine |

There's a dirty piece of cardboard That reads Montgomery Ward Taped across the window of my old Ford. A six-pack on the front seat and a box of chicken wings, I'm dialin' 'cross the radio for a song that I can sing I'd better change my wandrin ways, I know I've seen my better days, Always gettin' high when I get low. Well, I left my soul out in the rain, Lord, what a price I've had to pay. The storms of life are washin' me away. An old mail pouch, tobacco sign Fadin' on the barn, Bringin' back sweet memories of Mama's farm When love was just a country girl that lived on down the road. Spoken: you know, she almost had me turned around, But that was years ago. I'd better change my wandrin ways, I know I've seen my better days, Always gettin' high when I get low. Well, I left my soul out in the rain, Lord, what a price I've had to pay. The storms of life are washin' me away. Yeah, the storms of life are washin' me away. |

Operator please connect me with Nineteen-Eighty Two I need to make apologies for what I didn't do I sure do need to tell her that I thought the whole thing through And now it's clear that she is what - I should have held onto. They say hindsight's 20-20 but I'm nearly goin' blind From starin' at her photograph and wishing she was mine It's that same old lost love story - it's sad but it's true There was a time when she was mine in Nineteen-Eighty-Two. Postman can you sell me - a special kind of stamp One to send a letter from this crazy lonely man Back into the wasted years of my living past I need to tell her, now I know - how long my love will last. They say hindsight's 20-20 but I'm nearly goin' blind From starin' at her photograph and wishing she was mine It's that same old lost love story - it's sad but it's true There was a time when she was mine in Nineteen-Eighty-Two. Losing my mind, going back in time - to Nineteen-Eighty Two. |

A working day to long when everything goes wrong
And a boss who don't know I'm alive I once had a notion I'd get that promotion, but now I barley survive A wife to demanding with no understanding Of why I stay dead on my feet A dimly lit tavern a willing young woman Are some of the reasons I cheat The hair that I'm losing and a women who's choosing To lay sound asleep by my side The bills they are mounting that's when I start counting On someone to help sooth my pride A lady that knows me affection she shows me and a smile so easy and sweet The dreams that I've buried the load that I've carried Are some of the reasons I cheat My children keep on growing me age keeps on showing Like all of my old friends I meet So I'm getting older my life's growing colder Just some of the reasons I cheat Yes I'm getting older my life's growing colder Just some of the reasons I cheat |

Mama always prayed that I'd be a better man than daddy And I determined not to let her down Deserted by the man she loved and left to raise four children We were the local gossip of the town. I promised her that I'd live right and not be like the others But I wound up in jail on Chrismas day I told her I'd be home and not to worry 'bout my brothers When I got home my mom had passed away And I hear tell the road to hell is paved with good intentions And mama my intentions were the best There's lotsa things in my life I just as soon not mention Looks like I've turned out like all the rest But mama my intentions were the best A little boy with big blue eyes a-beggin' to go fishing I promised him but never took the time Now they won't let me see him and I sit here a-wishing Wishin' I could hold him one more time And I hear tell the road to hell is paved with good intentions And mama my intentions were the best There's lotsa things in my life I just as soon not mention Looks like I've turned out like all the rest But mama my intentions were the best But mama my intentions were the best |

Dirt road in the twilght, woods so cool and dark. Up ahead pale neon, somewhere a dog barks, Honky-tonk moon, keeps shining on my baby and me Breaking up the pool balls, chalking up the cues Juke box pumping softly, lazy summer blues Honky-tonk moon, keeps shining on my ba-by and me Through the blue smoky haze, all through the haze Trouble seems to melt away............. My heart's on a roll, I'm easy in my soul There's no hurry, no worry, things are goin' my way My arms around my baby, shufflin' on the floor Cigarettes and saw-dust, squeaky old screen door. Honk- Tonk Moon, keeps shinin on my baby and me. Outside the dark is falling, stars are twinkling bright That old Hoot Owl is calling, every-things all right Honky Tonk Moon, keeps shinin on my baby and me. Honky Tonk Moon, keeps shinin on my baby and me. |

Well I've heard those city singers singin 'bout how they can love Deeper than the oceans higher than the stars above Well I come from the country and I know I ain't seen it all But I heard that oceans salty and the stars they sometimes fall But that would not do justice to the way I feel for you So I have to sing this song about all the things I knew My love is deeper that the holler, stronger than the rivers Higher than the pine trees growin' tall upon the hill My love is purer than the snowflakes that fall in late December And honest as a robin on a springtime window sill And longer than the song of the Whippoorwill From the backroads to the broadway shows with a million miles between There's a least a million love songs that people love to sing And everyone is different and everyone's the same So this is just another way of sayin' the same thing My love is deeper that the holler, stronger than the rivers Higher than the pine trees growin' tall upon the hill My love is purer than the snowflakes that fall in late December And honest as a robin on a springtime window sill And longer than the song of the Whippoorwill My love is deeper that the holler, stronger than the rivers Higher than the pine trees growin' tall upon the hill My love is purer than the snowflakes that fall in late December And honest as a robin on a springtime window sill And longer than the song of the Whippoorwill |

Being without you has turned out to be so inconvenient And wishing I was with you just seems to use up all my time You've been gone so long that it's hard to recall Just how the dream went And all but this broken heart in me I guess is doing fine Chorus: Is it still over, are we still through Since my phone still ain't ringing I assume it still ain't you I've half a mind to take the time to find somebody new But I'm not too sure that I'm still over you That lie that I tried to slip by you Was told with good intentions It was just another way to say I love you And protect you from the truth Half a pound of cure is surely worth a half an ounce of pure prevention And trying to explain while I'm insane Is the hardest thing I've ever tried to do Chorus If I repeat myself it's cause I've nothing else to do And I'm not too sure that I'm still over you |

Since the day I was led to temptation And in weakness did let your love down I have prayed that with time and compassion You'd come around I keep waiting for you to forgive me And you keep saying you can't even start And I feel like a stone you have picked up and thrown To the hard rock bottom of your heart To the hard rock bottom of your heart Now this home we have built is still standing It's foundation is on solid ground Do we roll up our sleeves and repair it Or burn it down I keep waiting for you to forgive me And you keep saying you can't even start And I feel like a stone you have picked up and thrown To the hard rock bottom of your heart To the hard rock bottom of your heart We can't just block it out We've got to talk it out Until our hearts get back in touch I need your love I miss it I can't go on like this is Hurts too much |

I took you for granted
So many years I gave you no hope Broken promises and tears But when I was down It was you who was there To pick up the pieces and show me you care Forever together Til' death do we part Forsaking all others I'll give you my heart Through good times and bad times Wherever we are Forever together In each other's arms You seem to know What we had all along And you had the love And the faith to go on It took some time but now I realize That I see it all when I look in your eyes Forever together Til' death do we part Forsaking all others I give you my heart Through good times and bad times Wherever we are Forever together In each other's arms Forever together In each other's arms |

I remember how it used to feel Riding down old two mile hill Tennis shoes up on the handle bars Paying no mind to the passing cars No doubts, no fears, just like when you are here No chains, no strings, no fences, no wall No net, just you to catch me when I fall Look heart, no hands. It took a little time to get up to speed To find the confidence and strength I need To just let go and reach for the sky You know sometimes it felt I could fly. No doubts, no fears, just like when you are here. No chains, no strings, no fences, no wall No net, just you to catch me when I fall Look heart, no hands. It doesn't take much, just a smile or a touch And I'm a kid again, I can almost feel that wind No chains, no strings, no fences, no wall No net, just you to catch me when I fall Look heart, no hands. Look heart, no hands |

I heard a freight train out across the way
I heard a woman sing Amazing Grace I heard a night bird call to its mate When I heard you whisper my name I heard freedom break its chain I heard a heart beat where once no sound remained I heard angels rise and praise When I heard you whisper my name Chorus: I heard music bring a heart of stone to tears I heard peace ring like an anthem through the years And I heard hatred fall from grace When I heard you whisper my name Beating softly against the waves Fell a sound of an early morning rain And though the lightning and thunder came I still heard you whisper my name -Chorus- And I heard angels rise and praise When I heard you whisper my name |

Well last night I dug your picture out from our old dresser drawer I set it on the table and I talked to it til four Then I read some old love letters right up til the break of dawn Well tonight I'm sittin alone diggin up bones I'm a diggin up bones Exhuming things that's better left alone I'm resurrecting memories of a love that's dead and gone Well tonight I'm sittin alone diggin up bones Then I went through the closet and I found some things in there Like that pretty lingerie that I bought you to wear Then I recalled how good you looked each time you had it on Well tonight I'm sittin alone diggin up bones Then I went through the jewelry and I found our wedding rings I put mine on my finger and I gave yours a fling Across this lonely bedroom of our recent broken home Well tonight I'm sittin alone diggin up bones I'm a diggin up bones Exhuming things that's better left alone I'm resurrecting memories of a love that's dead and gone Well tonight I'm sittin alone diggin up bones |

I ain't live forever but i've lived enough
and i've learned to be gentle and i've learned to be tough I've found only two things that last to the end One is your heroes and the other your friends Your heroes will help you find good in yourself Your friends won't forsake you for somebody else They'll both stand beside you thru thick and thru thin and that's how it goes with heroes and friends I grew up with cowboys i watched on tv My friends and i sometimes pretended to be Years have gone by but now and again my heart rides the range with my heroes and friends Your heroes will help you find good in yourself Your friends won't forsake you for somebody else They'll both stand beside you thru thick and thru thin and that's how it goes with heroes and friends Your heroes will help you find good in yourself Your friends won't forsake you for somebody else They'll both stand beside you thru thick and thru thin and that's how it goes with heroes and friends that's how it goes with heroes and friends |

Must be doin' something wrong baby I don't know
But the gold fish are floating at the top of the bowl And the dog he won't eat he just lays around All night long he makes a lonesome sound I know I had it coming and it's all my fault But baby come back Before you kill us all The way the plants are dyin' you'd swear it's fall Looks just like autumn up and down the hall And I talk to 'em baby like you s'posed to do But they're tired of hearing how I'm missin' you And I know you told me not to call But baby come back Before you kill us all Well it's a desperate situation I got a strong will to survive But if this place is any indication I may not make it out on time Well it's an eerie feeling in the still of the night Knowin' that the cats down to three more lives You've turned as all into nervous wrecks We just sit around and wanderin' who's goin' to be next And I know I had it coming and it's all my fault But baby come back Before you kill us all Baby come back Before you kill us all Baby come back Baby come back Before you kill us all Baby come back |
