Patty Loveless - On Your Way Home (2003) by Patty Loveless (보컬) on maniadb.com

Well, first you said that you loved me
You swore to be true
Never leave me lonesome
But that's just what you do

You go out honky tonkin'
All over town
With every step you take
You just keep draggin' my heart around

[Chorus:]
I believe I'm slowly sinkin'
Feel I'm goin' down
It's bound to be the death of me
If you keep draggin' my heart around
Around, around

The stars out on the water
That ol' moon up in the sky
They hang their heads in sorrow
Each time you pass me by

The way you hurt me darlin'
I believe I'll come unwound
I can't go on much longer
If you keep draggin' my heart around

[Chorus]

Somewhere down that lonesome track
There's a lover leavin' and he won't be back
And there's a heart that's breakin' as the sun goes down
And the silence of goodbye is such a lonesome sound

And as for heartache, I've been there before
I've been left knockin' outside love's door
I've been high and dry, couldn't find solitary
Just as cold as the wind out on the prarie

But that ain't nothin' like the lonely in my heart tonight
Well, it might come close, but not quite
If the sky lost the stars and stars lost their light
It wouldn't be nothin' like the lonely in my heart tonight
It wouldn't be nothin' like the lonely in my heart tonight

I begged the sky for just one cloud
To send the rain fallin' down
But if all the angels cried a million tears
And they never let up for a million years

That ain't nothin' like the lonely in my heart tonight
Well, it might come close, but not quite
If the sky lost the stars and the stars lost their light
It wouldn't be nothin' like the lonely in my heart tonight
It wouldn't be nothin' like the lonely in my heart tonight

It wouldn't be nothin' like the lonely in my heart tonight
Well, it might come close, but not quite
If the sky lost the stars and the stars lost their light
It wouldn't be nothin' like the lonely in my heart tonight
It wouldn't be nothin' like the lonely in my heart tonight

Talkin' that sweet talk, so sincere.
Sayin' everything that I want to hear.
An' I want to believe, yeah, yeah,
I want to believe.

You're a silver-tongued devil an' a sly Don Juan.
You're doin' me right while you're a-doin' me wrong.
Still I want to believe, Lord, Lord,
I want to believe.

My woman's intuition
Is arousin' my suspicion.
I'm in a dangerous position,
That I'd just like to see,
You know just how much I want to believe.

Heard a conversation in the check-out line.
They mentiuoned your name 'bout three or four times.
I didn't want to believe, no;
Didn't want to believe.

Then out in the parkin' lot, we made friends.
You been doin' to me what you been doin' to them.
I didn't want to believe, no, no;
Didn't want to believe.

My woman's intuition
Is arousin' my suspicion.
I'm in a dangerous position,
That I'd just like to see,
You know just how much I want to believe.

Your lips are movin' so I know you're alive.
You know I know you, but you keep on tryin'.
An' I want to believe, yeah, yeah,
I want to believe.

Talkin' that sweet talk, so sincere.
Sayin' everything that I want to hear.
An' I want to believe, yeah,
I want to believe.

Lord, I want to believe you, baby,
I want to believe.

Lord, Lord, I want to believe.

You know, someday, I'd like to fly
Like a bat outta' Nashville
Why don't you help me?
An' tell me the truth
'Cause the truth is gonna set you free
If you keep on lyin' to me, I might stay right here
Just to spite you

Where'd you get that alibi?
Did it fall out of a midnight sky
Or did you find it on the side of the road?
Tell me: Did you have to make a deal
Or wrestle for control, of the wheel, from your conscience?
I'd like to know
Where do you go?
Where do you go?
Where do you go
On your way home?
On your way home?
On your way home?
Mmmmmm
Mmmmmmmmmmm

Where'd you get that alibi?
Did it fall out of a midnight sky
Or did you find it lyin' on the side of the road?
Was it ever a long, long drive?
Did you ever stop once to cry, or was I worth it?
I think I know
Where do you go?
Where do you go?
Where do you go
On your way home?
On your way home?

Almost nothing shakes me.
I'll admit tonight I'm scared, scared to death.
All this talk of leavin',
Walkin' away from love we've shared takes my breath.
I could find the strength within myself.

But I don't wanna be that strong.
I don't wanna know that feeling,
Of barely hangin on while my broken heart is healing.
I know the hands of time would hold me until all the hurt is gone.
I could make it on my own,
But I don't wanna be that strong.

I could hold my head up.
I could keep the tears inside for a while.
Fill the anxious days.
Somehow face the lonely nights for a while.
When I need to I could even force a smile.

But I don't wanna be that srong.
I don't wanna know that feeling,
Of barely hanging on while my broken heart is healing.
I know the hands of time would hold me until all my hurt is gone.
I could make it on my own,
But I don't wanna be that strong.

He sits on a park bench and stares into space.
Thinking of his bright future that has now been erased.
He once loved a woman whose love wasn't true.
Now all that remains is a born-again fool.

Mistakes, he's made many in his passage of life.
She was the first wrong he couldn't make right.
She left him no reason. She left no excuse.
All she left was the shell of a born-again fool.

Believing that her love would be his salvation
But faith in her heart proved to be his damnation.
Another falsado. Another heart torn in two
Oh there's no one as lost as a born-again fool.

Well he gave all she asked for. She took all he had.
She made him her puppet with no strings attatched.
He did all she wanted but he never knew,
She was only creating a born-again fool.

Believing that her love would be his salvation.
But faith in her heart proved to be his damnation.
Another falsado. Another heart torn in two.
Oh there's no one as lost as a born-again fool.

He sits on a park bench still wondering why,
As the whole world unnoticing passes him by
Such a folorn conclusion that his life led him to.
Betrayed and decieved he's a born-again fool.

There are walls made of paper, an' walls made of stone
An' some, better made, out of livin' alone
I built a wall that no-one could break down
Locked up my heart where it couldn't be found

You saw past my shackles an' let love unfold
Showed me the truth from the lies I'd been told
My heart was a prisoner, like no heart at all
So your love reached higher than the wall

[Chorus:]
Higher than the wall, a thousand feet tall
High above the darkness where the blue shadows fall
Yeah, your love reached higher, where it's better an' brighter
Yeah, your love reached higher than the wall, (wall, wall)
Yeah, your love reached higher than the wall

Now I'm wearin' freedom instead of those chains
Empty reminders don't cause me no pain
It's all gone away like the leaves in the Fall
'Cause your love reached higher than the wall

[Chorus]

Hey, hey

Now, baby, pull the covers back over my head.
I don't want to get it up outta this bed.
I don't want to drag it on off to work.
That big boss man is really a flirt.
We've been lovin' all night,
Just about settin' me everything right.
Hope it don't get me.
I'm gonna live it just as long as I can.
I'm gonna make it every part of my plan.
Lovin' all night, hangin' on tight,
No doubt about it, been lovin' all night.

Well, you tell me I'm as pretty as a fresh cut flower,
When you show me how you love me in the wee small hours.
While everybody?s sleeping on around this town,
Lovin?' all night makes the world go 'round.

We've been lovin' all night,
Just about hittin' me everything right.
Hope it don't get me.
I'm gonna live it just as long as I can.
I'm gonna make it every part of my plan.
Lovin' all night, hangin' on tight,
No doubt about it, been lovin' all night.

Ain't no use talkin' when you're looking so fine;
When you move your body up a-close to mine.
We've been rocking with the rhythm of a beat of our own.
Baby, I'm gonna love you ?till the cows come home.

We've been lovin' all night,
Just about hittin' me everything right.
Hope it don't get me.
I'm gonna live it just as long as I can.
I'm gonna make it every part of my plan.
Lovin' all night, feelin' all right,
No doubt about it, been lovin' all night.

We've been lovin' all night, hangin on tight.
Good God almighty, been loving all night, yeah.
Mmmmm, been lovin' all night.
Been lovin' all night.
Lovin' all night, yeah,
Lovin' all night,
Been lovin' all night.
Memmmm. hey, ahh been lovin' all night.

If I appear to be holdin' on tight
You'd be right, I've been holdin' on for dear life
The way that it's all been goin', there's talk I just might
Be the last of, the last in a long lonesome line

I made mistakes I won't try to defend
God knows what I've been through to get where I am
They say the blood in my body is agein' like wine
I'm the last of, the last in a long lonesome line

For better or worse, I have lived life so fast
I wasn't the first, hate to think I'm the last
Of the last in a long lonesome line

Tears an' whiskey, yeah, I spilled my share
But it's the music that's kept me goin' through all of these years
An' there's some songs still need singin' before closin' time
From the last of, the last in a long lonesome line

For better or worse, I have lived life so fast
I wasn't the first, hate to think I'm the last
Of the last in a long lonesome line
Oh, I'm the last of, the last in a long lonesome line

Brand new shoes, they hurt my feet
This lace collar's chokin' me
Cuttin' off my air supply
When I hang my head to cry
When I hang my head to cry

I see tears on daddy's face
Someone's hummin', "Amazing Grace"
Rain beats on this graveside tier
Preacher says he did repent
Preacher says he did repent

They've got him layin' there in pin stripes
How'd they get him in that suit?
I guess the Lord will recognize him
Without his overalls and mule

And they all say he looks so natural
But all I see's a cold dark hole
I won't commit this day to memory
That ain't the Grandpa that I know
That ain't the Grandpa that I know

Tractor never pulled his plough
He walked and cursed and loved that ground
His hand sowed each and every seed
And he'd pray for rain and fight the weeds
He'd pray for rain and fight the weeds

He said, "This simple life, it suits me fine"
Never dreamed beyond the county line
Grandma was his boyhood bride
He'll be there in her arms tonight
He'll sleep there in her arms tonight

They've got him layin' there in pin stripes
How'd they get him in that suit?
I guess the Lord will recognize him
Without his overalls and mule

And they all say he looks so natural
But all I see's a cold dark hole
I won't commit this day to memory
That ain't the Grandpa that I know

They played a pretty organ number
Swore it was his favorite tune
But I know he preferred a fiddle
Playin' Carroll County Blues

They all say he looks so natural
But all I see's a cold dark hole
I won't commit this day to memory
That ain't the Grandpa that I know
That ain't the Grandpa that I know
