Everybody sings a different kind of song
All God's children have somewhere where they belong Oh, I heard it said I know it must be true We were meant to be, I'm made for loving you. Everybody has something he must be Call it fortune, or just call it destiny I have spent my life making my way to you See the way we fit? I'm made for loving you. Like blue skies always seem to go with sunshine And just like laughter goes along with good times I have spent my life making my way to you See the way we fit? I'm made for loving you. |

Sittin' in a bar room
Joplin, Missouri Texas on my mind Got no way to get there Got no need to hurry All I got is my time In walks a lady Heart be still! In walks a lady with a Coupe Deville She asked for someone new To ride Tulsa way She said she had to be there Yesterday Said I need a ride a little further south She said "Climb on in, boy just shut your mouth" (chorus) Mmmm, Let me tell you, brother She flew the coupe (coupe, coupe) Let me tell you, brother She flew the coupe (coupe, coupe) Could have been eighty, ninety, or a hundred A woman that fast, she don't need a number. About a half an hour in I turned on the radio I caught a little bit of news About a lady you know There was somthin' 'bout gunplay and a car she took Satisfactory conditions For thowin' the book I looked to my left (to my left, to my left) Heart be still! I was looking at the lady with the Coupe Deville She said, "Back in Missouri a man owed a little debt. It wasn't over money But she took what she could get." "She was in the driver's seat She never looked back." And I was ridin' shotgun In a Cadiliac (repeat chorus twice) Yeah, go on baby |

His old hands were brown
from the varnish and the stain And I had come to talk in my youth and in my pain I told him that I was not the man I want to be I waited to see what he would say But he just kept on working as if I wasn't there The sweat on his face and dust in his hair He paused for a moment when I'd been there for a while He wiped his brow - I thought I saw him smile (Chorus) He just said , "Wood, From the earth beneath our feet there grows a tree And we can take it, shape it, to what's it's meant to be The stronger the fiber, the better for the good Son, I believe that men are just like wood." I handed him a timber and he laid it on the bench I watched the love and care he took to measure every inch the work it got harder when he cut across the grain but he just put more shoulder to the plane I sat there beside him as he carved out every line He made a thing of beauty from a rough 'ol piece of pine He seem to have the vision of what the end would be I felt as if some pieces had been taken out of me (repeat chorus) I left a little taller wiser, and free I learned the use of tools for the carpenter in me I don't have all the answers but one thing I have have found We are the choices that we make when the chips are down, wood. He said, "The stronger the fiber, the better for the good Son, I believe that men are just like wood." |

In the quiet hours before the dawn
Buttons up his uniform Takes out his badge and pins it on For thirty years he's enforced the law And he drives out on the Rio Grande Across the dry and sunburned land And on this side he takes his stand again (chorus) They won't get through this bordertown He turns 'em back, he stands his ground But still they come, because they know Somewhere the streets are paved with gold Somewhere beyond the sound of this bordertown It's not his place to say what's fair He's done his duty all these years In his mind the law's the law But then at dusk she wades across And he sees the hope thats in her eyes Child with dreams of a brand new life It's not his job to say what's right or wrong (repeat chorus) As night falls over Mexico He waits there as she comes ashore Finished, there's a moment of faith He turns his back and he walks away (instrumental solo) |

For the first time in a long time I saw her last night
I stood face to face with the love of my life She laughed, and I smiled, and we talked for a while I held her close as I told her goodbye She said, "I'm sorry I hurt you the way that I did" And I said, "Don't worry.... (chorus 1) "It's just water under the bridge Tears that I've already cried." I couldn't tell her my love never died It's just water under the bridge The river just never runs dry. You can never go back, it's been said many times But I've never left in my heart and my mind Though I've done my best to go on with my life Those memories never stop flowing by, (chorus 2) Just like water the bridge Tears that I've already cried I 'll never tell her my love never died It's just water under the bridge The river just never runs dry. No, you can't stop those feelings that flow deep inside Just like water the bridge |

Lonestar is fading into the shadows
Standing there waiting for something to say But she's so impatient she might not see him The chance of a lifetime could be slipping away (chorus) Standing alone, he wears his freedom He's seen it before, the sun going down in her eyes His heart is his own, a lonely companion As true as the wind and the deep purple sky Now lonestar is grieving, but she doesn't notice She's laughing and dancing with some Romeo But out of the bright lights there's one lonely cowboy With nothing to hold him, and nowhere to go (instrumental solo) (repeat chorus) Now lonestar is fading into the shadows |

He walked his sweetheart down the aisle
You should have seen his mama cry She was the only girl for him And he would never, never leave her side And daddy sends them the money down To build a castle in the sky Just like a magazine romance A springtime honeymoon in France Soon comes the bouncin' baby boy And he's the apple of her eye A custom-made recipe for joy A gift that money couldn't buy But Bobby's staying out late at night And Mary's drinkin' on the sly (chorus) Is this some world that I'm dreaming of? Is there somebody above? Teach us to play the game of love. Pushing and pullin', tears on the pillow Digging in deeper each day She wants his lovin', he says she's changin' and slipping away Who needs the heartache of staying together? Let's call it a day. Some people say right from the start That love is just a foolish game And when we end up against the wall To find somebody else to blame But if the loser gets the broken heart How come the winner gets the same? The winner get the same. We just pick up the house of cards So we can do it all again. (chorus) Teach us to play the game of love. |
