I'll do everything i can to make you proud to be my man
And I'll fullfill all your fantasies
I guess we're promising alot, but for now it's all we've got
And i'll stand by you through our rockin years

(chorus)
Rockin' chairs
Rockin' babies
Rock'a'bye
Rock of ages
Side by side we'll be together always
And if you hold me tight when you love me
Thats all i'll ask of you
And I'll stand by you through our rockin' years


I'll be your friend
I'll be your lover
Until the end they'll be no other
And my heart has only room for one
Yes I'l always love you
And I'll always be here for you
And I'll stand by you throgh our rockin' years

(chorus)


Rockin' chairs
Rockin' babies
Rock'a'bye

Side by side we'll be together always
And if you hold me tight when you love me
That's all I'll ask of you
And I'll stand by you through our rockin' years

Rockin' chairs

Through our rockin' years

Heart of mine... heart of mine
Whatcha gonna do with your lonely self this time
Well you went and did it this time
When you heard temptation call
Shame won't let you walk back
And pride won't let you crawl
She'll cry when she finds out
She'll tell us both to leave
And even though you're guilty
She'll blame it all on me
Heart of mine...oh heart of mine
Whatcha gonna do with your lonely self this time
Cross that line
You had to cross that line
I must have fool to listen to you heart of mine
How can ya keep on beatin'
Actin' like there's nothing wrong
Can't you feel the sorrow
Are you made of stone
What were you thinkin' of
Ya must have been out of my mind
Oh why must I be shackled
To you heart of mine
Heart of mine... oh heart of mine
Whatcha gonna do with your lonely self this time
Cross that line
You had to cross that line
I must have been a fool to listen to you heart of mine
Heart of mine... oh heart of mine
Whatcha gonna do with your lonely self this time
Cross that line
You had to cross that line
I must have been a fool to listen to you heart of mine
Heart of mine...oh heart of mine
Whatcha gonna do with your lonely self this time
Cross that line
You had to cross that line
I must have been a fool to listen to you heart of mine
I must have been a fool to listen to you heart of mine

CHORUS

I've got the radio blastin'
I've got the windows rolled down
And I'm cruisin' these backroads
on the outskirts of town
I can feel the wind a-blowin'
Hear the big engines whine
When I'm cruisin' these backroads
All my troubles are behind

Well when I woke up this morning
Well I took me a look outside
It was plain to see it was one of those days
tailor-made for taking a ride
So I went downstairs and cleared my head
with coffee and cigarettes
And when it hit me right there
then my mind was set

Well I phoned work and told'em
they're going to be a man short today
I got the sunny day blues, there's only one thing
that's gonna make them go away
So I went out and I climbed in to my big ol' Chevrolet


And with a turn of the key and a cloud of dust
I was on my way

REPEAT CHORUS

Well maybe I did maybe I didn't
Go and lose my job today
But you can take my cares, take my worries
and blow them all away
For there comes a time in any man's life
when he's got to break free
I got four good wheels and an endless road
Stretched out in front of me

REPEAT CHORUS
REPEAT CHORUS

He was sitting beside me
In the passenger seat
As I looked through the windshield
At the quiet little street
He was smiling so proud
As he gave me the key
But inside, I knew
He was as nervous as me

I said, "Daddy, oh daddy
Are you sure I know how
Are you sure that I'm ready
To drive this car now"

He said, "I'm right here beside you
And you're gonna do fine
All you gotta do
Is keep it between the lines

'Cause it's a long, narrow road
Only the good Lord knows
Where it leads in the end
But you got to begin
So keep your hands on the wheel
Believe in the things that are real
Just take your time
And keep it between the lines

I was sitting in my chair
And sneaking a look at him
Lying on the floor with his coloring book
Then he caught me watching
And he climbed on my knee

He said "Daddy, oh daddy
Would you do one with me"
Then I hugged him so tightly
As we turned the page
Said, "I haven't done this
Since I was your age"

He said, "I'm right here beside you
And you're gonna do fine
Daddy, all you gotta do
Is keep it between the lines"

So we finished the picture
And I put him to bed
Got down on my knees and I bowed my head

I said "Father, oh father, I feel so alone
Are you sure I can raise him
With his mommy gone"
Then the answer came back so gentle and low
In words of my daddy, from so long ago

He said, "I'm right here beside you
And you're gonna do fine
All you gotta do
Is keep it between the lines"

So keep your hands on the wheel
Believe in the things that are real
Take your time, and
Keep it between the lines

Just take your time, and
Keep it between the lines
