Sometimes late at night
I lie awake and watch her sleeping She's lost in peaceful dreams So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark And the thought crosses my mind If I never wake up in the morning Would she ever doubt the way I feel About her in my heart If tomorrow never comes Will she know how much I loved her Did I try in every way To show her every day That she's my only one If my time on earth were through And she must face the world without me Is the love I gave her in the past Gonna be enough to last If tomorrow never comes 'Cause I've lost loved ones in my life Who never knew how much I loved them Now I live with the regret That my true feelings for them never were revealed So I made a promise to myself To say each day how much she means to me And avoid that circumstance Where there's no second chance To tell her how I feel If tomorrow never comes Will she know how much I loved her Did I try in every way To show her every day That she's my only one If my time on earth were through And she must face the world without me Is the love I gave her in the past Gonna be enough to last If tomorrow never comes So tell that someone that you love Just what you're thinking of If tomorrow never comes |

First time he saw the ground get busted
He was ten and it was 1952 His daddy worked hard from sunup to sundown And the goin' got tough behind them ol' grey mules The farm grew to be a moneymaker And the house he lived in grew up room by room The boy worked hard but soon got tired of farmin' So he slipped away one night 'neath the harvest moon His neck was red as Alabama clay But the city's call pulled him away He's got a factory job and runs a big machine He don't miss the farm or the fields of green Now the city's just a prison without fences His job is just a routine he can't stand And at night he dreams of wide-open spaces Fresh dirt between his toes and on his hands Then one day a picture came inside a letter Of a young girl with a baby in her arms And the words she wrote would change his life forever So he went to raise his family on the farm His neck is red as Alabama clay Now he's goin' home this time to stay Where the roots run deep on the family tree And the tractor rolls through the fields of green His neck is red as Alabama clay Now he's goin' home this time to stay Where the roots run deep on the family tree And the tractor rolls through the fields of green His neck is red as Alabama clay |

He told a good story
And all us kids listened About his life on the border And the way it was then And we'd all believe And when he was finished We'd ask the old cowboy To tell them again You could almost hear Those prairie winds blowin' His saddle a creaking 'Neath his old faded jeans You could taste the dry dust From the trail he was ridin, As he sat there and painted Those west Texas scenes And the grownups would tell us, "You boys keep your distance" "That old man's just telling you lies" But to all us kids Cowboy Bill was a hero Just as true As his blue Texas skies. He told of the time When he rode with the Rangers Down on the Pecos And he saved the day Outnumbered by plenty They were almost to cover With 30 banditos Headed their way He looked back just in time To see a horse stumble The captain went down And Bill pulled up on his reins And through a flurry of bullets He rescued the captain They rode for a sunset Just the story remains And the grownups would tell us, "You boys keep your distance" "That old man's just telling you lies" But to all us kids Cowboy Bill was a hero Just as true As his blue Texas skies. Well I still remember The day that it happened We waited and we waited But Bill never showed The folks at the feed store Said that they hadn't seen him So we set out for his place Down old Christville road And we cried when we found him Lying there with his memories The old trunk wide open Things scattered about He was clutching a badge That said, "Texas Ranger" And in old yeller letters Said, "Texas Is Proud" And those grownups that told us, "You boys keep your distance" That old man's just tellin you lies" Well now They're all saying That Cowboy Bill was a hero Just as true As his blue Texas skies Just as true As his blue Texas skies |

When all your loves have ended
When all your friends have flown Who'll be around to want you When all your loves have gone Only a fool would do it After the way you've done And how many fools would have you I Know One This fool keeps wondering why he fell in love at all But you might need this fool around in case you fall After the party's over and you've had your fill of fun If you need a fool to forgive you... I Know One You never know you might be lonely when all your loves have missed It wouldn't hurt to keep an extra fool on your list After your heart's been broken and you need a place to run If you'll take a fool who loves you... I Know One |
