She stares all night at the plaster peeling
Off of the shadows she painted on the ceiling Trying to find some philosophical meaning to life But the truth is Ruth is ready to hatch She's gotta break the door down, gotta bust a latch She's gotta super-sized itch That's gotta be scratched, alright She stands up and gets down And digs her heels out of that pea-pickin' town (Chorus:) Hey, hey, hey, hey - yeah, what a waste There's more to life than just takin' up space Hey, hey, hey, hey - this is s'posed to be fun 5 4 3 2 ready run So she sold her diamond ring and bought a Winnebago Found her way to Heaven on the way to San Diego Chased her ruby red boots anywhere that they'd go, anytime She got sidetracked and backpacked her way to Atlanta Picked a pocketful of posies, got here busted in 'Bama Truck stop trollop, selling roses from a van for a dime She woke up and broke down Collect call to that pea-pickin' town (Repeat Chorus) (Bridge:) Run, run, run, run all the way back home Run away from the great unknown It felt good for a mintue, 'til she got stuck in it Stuck in it Her yellow brick road crashed Right through the rose-colored glass Rose-colored glass (Second Chorus:) Hey, hey, hey, hey - yeah, what a waste There's more to life that the thrill of the chase Hey, hey, hey, hey - this is s'posed to be fun 5 4 3 2 ready run (Repeat Second Chorus) |

When I said I love you, baby
You said knock on wood I'm afraid I knocked harder Than I probably should Those mockingbird words got away from me Wish I could take them back, yeah I wonder how you've been Since we kissed good-bye 'Cause the grass ain't any greener here on my side I thought the broken pieces would all blow away When the season changed But nothing's changed [Chorus:] The alarm still rings at five-fifteen The day goes off like a rifle Mrs. Jones next door is still extreme Goes on and on about the Bible What comes around still goes around Sun comes up, sun goes down And love goes on Yeah, love goes on when you're gone If we ran into each other, wonder what I'd say Baby, please come home Or, looks like rain today Heard you're moving to Denver No, I'd never have guessed Or would I just confess [Repeat Chorus] [Bridge:] It's an ache in the bones, it's a ghost in the trees It's the one little tear that could fill up the sea I happened to you, you happened to me But now that's gone And love goes on, yeah love goes on I said, love goes on And love goes on and on and on and on [Repeat Chorus] Yeah, when you're gone (It's an ache in the bones - it's a ghost in the trees) Yeah, yeah when you're gone (It's the one little tear that could fill up the sea) |

I put away the groceries
And I take my daily bread I dream of your arms around me As I tuck the kids in bed I don't know what you're doin' And I don't know where you are But I look up at that great big sky And I hope you're wishin' on that same bright star I wonder, I pray (Chorus:) And I sleep alone I cry alone And it's so hard livin' here on my own So please, come home soon (Come home soon) I know that we're together Even though we're far apart And I'll wear our lucky penny 'round my neck Pressed to my heart I wonder, I pray (Repeat Chorus) (Bridge:) I still imagine your touch It's beautiful missing something that much But sometimes love needs a fighting chance So I'll wait my turn until it's our turn to dance I wonder, I pray (Second Chorus:) I sleep alone I cry alone Without you this house is not a home So please, come home soon (Third Chorus:) I walk alone I try alone I'll wait for you, don't want to die alone So please, come home soon Come home soon Come home soon |

Ever been misunderstood, misused, or misled
Ever knocked on the sky and had it fall on your head well, don't worry 'bout it, don't worry Ever lost your luggage, your marbles, your house Or found yourself in bed with Uncle Sam or Mickey Mouse Ever been accused of murder on Music Row Or caught in morning traffic when you really gotta go - Oh no! (Chorus) Life is funny, life's a mess Sometimes a curse, sometimes a blessing Don't worry 'bout a thing, don't worry 'bout it Life gets sticky, life can bruise Sometimes you win sometimes you're losing No matter what it brings Don't worry 'bout a thing Ever sat yourself down when the seat is all wet Or see your "ex" sucking face with a little brunette Don't worry 'bout it, no don't worry Ever lost your religion, ever lost your best friend Or found your last record in the bargain bin Or been stuck in a divorce like crazy glue Or scraped someone else's gum off the bottom of your shoe - Boo hoo! (Repeat Chorus) (Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah - Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, - Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah) Don't worry, don't worry (Bridge:) We all got a little junk in the trunk And when you're feelin' good as sunk Remember, everything will be just fine If I laugh at yours then you'll laugh at mine (Repeat Chorus 2x) (Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah - Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, - Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah) Don't worry, don't worry Life gets sticky, life can bruise Sometimes you win sometimes you're losing No matter what it brings Don't worry 'bout a thing (thank you very much) |

I pull the covers 'cross the bed
I tuck away the thoughts in my head And I live behind closed doors Knowing I will always love you more [Chorus:] And I won't fall apart I won't lie in pieces on the ground I won't fall apart If we say it all without a sound If we could last another day Filled with nothing left to say I will know I've loved my best Then maybe I could put my heart to rest [Repeat Chorus] [Bridge:] If I could make the sun rise a little too slow To keep from hearing what I already know [Repeat Chorus] I will live behind closed doors Knowing I will always love you more |

I know you're gonna break it
You're gonna break it clean This frame never could take A season so cruel and mean I can't be who I wanna be These walls aren't mine Nobody else can make me right Nobody else can feel this wrong And in one moment I am light Another dead as night I should have known I'd never own This borrowed home Too deep into the passage Of love so overgrown And now forever I'm cast As heavy as sinking stone I can't rise when I wanna rise In this bed I sleep with ghosts Nobody else can make me right Nobody else can feel this wrong And in one moment I am light Another dead as night I should have known I'd never own This borrowed home The windows open and the truth closes in What a sweet beginning to the bitter end I can't live where I wanna live If I can't find my way home Nobody else can make me right Nobody else can feel this wrong And in one moment I am light Another dead as night I should have known I'd never own This borrowed home I'm home Borrowed home Yeah, I'm home |

Ruby's got a government that rules inside her head
A third eye, a crystal ball, her mama always said It would guide her If she kept it inside her The freak across the street tried to contaminate her skin She was thinking "who would miss him?" The world's about to end And he'd fit perfectly into her catastrophe She's a woman at heart and a man on a mission A Saint to purify the human condition She's a fortune teller, but she's never gonna tell There's a worm in the bottom of a dead wishing well A woman's work is never done A woman's work is never done Never,when she's a loaded gun,loaded gun Never done,never when she's a loaded gun,loaded gun She found it funny that nine and ten were easier to do After she'd meticulously filtered out a few Still the voices shout Take the garbage out She was raised to believe that you get what you pray for If God was really good then she wouldn't have to wait for Him to drop the gravel,so she'll do it all herself There's a worm in the bottom of a dead wishing well A woman's work is never done A woman's work is never done Never,when she's a loaded gun,loaded gun Never done,never when she's a loaded gun,loaded gun When the flashing lights cut through the billowing dust Her voice cried "Looks like it's not just us,justice" Guess she got a little careless with cadaver eleven Before she'll go to jail she'd rather go to Heaven And the final leap of faith of a zealot Jezebel Led'em diggin in the bottom of a dead wishing well A woman's work is never done A woman's work is never done Never,when she's a loaded gun,loaded gun Never done,never when she's a loaded gun,loaded gun A woman's work is never done A woman's work is never done Never,when she's a loaded gun,loaded gun Never done,never when she's a loaded gun,loaded gun She's a loaded gun A woman's work,yeah,yeah Oh,a woman's work This,this woman's This woman's work (Fade) |

He's a young man
In his golden years His hair of black now quickly fades to gray The limp as he walks is his only souvenir From those purple-hearted war time days But you don't hear him complain No matter how the fall I don't have a lot, he'd smile and say But lord I have it all He's a hero In my mother's eyes He taught her how to raise me right and never compromise He always says he has the finer things in life Somewhere to live, someone to love and the Good book to live by Some say his heart is big All though his fortune's small I don't have a lot, he'd smile and say But lord I have it all A rembrandt in his own right A master at his craft Creating something beautiful A memory that will last And always last He's the constant In our family Beginning this long line of love We've cared And even when he's gone he'll watch over me When I close my eyes at night I feel him there Wear my name, well my child Be true and stand tall You don't have a lot he'd always say But lord you have it all You don't have a lot he'd always say But thank the Lord you have it all Hero in my mother's eyes |
