Though you failed at love and lost
And sorrow's turned your heart to frost I will mend your heart again Remember the feeling as a child When you woke up and morning smiled It's time its time its time you felt like that again There is just no percentage in remembering the past It's time you learned to live again and love at last Come with me leave your yesterday your yesterday behind And take a giant step outside your mind You stare at me with disbelief You say for you there's no relief But girl I swear it won't do you no harm Don't sit there in your lonely room Just looking back inside that gloom Mama that's not were you belong Come with me I'll take you where the taste of life is green And everyday everyday hold on woman just got to be seen Come with me leave your yesterday your yesterday behind And take a giant step outside your mind Though you failed at love and lost And sorrow's turned your heart to frost I will mend your heart again Remember the feeling as a child When you woke up and morning smiled It's time its time its time you felt like that again There is just no percentage in remembering the past It's time you learned to live again and love at last Come with me leave your yesterday your yesterday behind And take a giant step outside your mind |

I pulled out of Pittsburgh an I rolling down the eastern seaboard
I've got my diesel wound up and she's running like she never did before There's a speed zone ahead all right, I don't see a cop in sight Six days upon the road and I gotta see my baby tonight I got ten forward gears and a sweet Georgia overdrive I'm taking little white pills and my eyes are open wide Just passed a Jimmy and a White, I've been passing everything in sight Six days upon the road and I gotta see my baby tonight It seems like a month since I kissed my baby bye bye I got a lot of woman but I'm not like some of the guys Got my air horns running clear Baby you oughta watch the way I shift my gears Six days upon the road and I gotta see my baby tonight ICC is checking on down the line Honey you know I'm a little overweight and my log books way behind But nothing bothers a soul at night, I can dodge them scales all right Six days upon the road and I gotta see my baby tonight My rigs a little old but it don't mean she's slow There's a good flame coming from her smokestack and the smoke's black as coal My home town coming in sight, if you think I'm happy baby baby baby your right Six days upon the road and I gotta see my baby tonight |
