You may think that I'm talking foolish
You've heard that I'm wild and I'm free You may wonder how I can promise you now This love that I feel for you Always will be You're not just time that I'm killing I'm no longer one of those guys As sure as live This love that I give Is gonna be yours until the day that I die Oh baby I'm gonna love you forever Forever and ever, amen As long as old men sit and talk about the weather As long as old women sit and talk about old men If you wonder how long I'll be faithful I'll be happy to tell you again I'm gonna love you Forever and ever Forever and ever amen They say time takes its toll on a body Makes a young girl's brown hair turn gray Well, honey, I don't care I ain't in love with your hair And if it all fell out I'd love you anyway Well, they say time can play tricks on a memory Make people forget things they knew Well, it's easy to see It's happening to me I've already forgotten every women but you Oh baby I'm gonna love you forever Forever and ever, amen As long as old men sit and talk about the weather As long as old women sit and talk about old men If you wonder how long I'll be faithful Just listen to how this song ends I'm gonna love you Forever and ever Forever and ever amen I'm gonna love you Forever and ever Forever and ever Forever and ever amen |

Operator please connect me with Nineteen-Eighty Two I need to make apologies for what I didn't do I sure do need to tell her that I thought the whole thing through And now it's clear that she is what - I should have held onto. They say hindsight's 20-20 but I'm nearly goin' blind From starin' at her photograph and wishing she was mine It's that same old lost love story - it's sad but it's true There was a time when she was mine in Nineteen-Eighty-Two. Postman can you sell me - a special kind of stamp One to send a letter from this crazy lonely man Back into the wasted years of my living past I need to tell her, now I know - how long my love will last. They say hindsight's 20-20 but I'm nearly goin' blind From starin' at her photograph and wishing she was mine It's that same old lost love story - it's sad but it's true There was a time when she was mine in Nineteen-Eighty-Two. Losing my mind, going back in time - to Nineteen-Eighty Two. |

Well there's my easy chair
Just sittin' there I've spent a lot of time Thinkin' of this perfect love I know is yours and mine And oh how I love That old picture on the wall Of you and me and the kids My most favorite times in life I've spent right here where we live There's no place like home There's no place like home It just hit me As I was leaving There's no place like home From the bedroom I smell perfume My favorite kind your wore And it brings back memories Of all those nights Behind our bedroom door And the saddest thing I think I've ever seen Was my closet all cleaned out It's sad to think That one must leave Cause we can't work things out There's no place like home There's no place like home It just hit me As I was leaving There's no place like home So baby say that I can stay For just a day or so Then maybe I can change your mind And I won't have to go Just look into These baby blues And tell me it's okay I love that smile It drives me wild No love won't die today There's no place like home There's no place like home |

On one hand I count the reasons I could stay with you
And hold you close to me, all night long. So many lover's games I could play with you and on that hand I see no reason why it's wrong Chorus: But on the other hand, There's a golden band To remind of someone who would not understand On one hand I could stay and be your loving man But the reason I must go is on the other hand In your arms I feel the passion, I thought had died When I looked into your eyes I found myself When I first kissed your lips I felt so alive I've got to hand it to you girl, you're something else Repeat Chorus |

A working day to long when everything goes wrong
And a boss who don't know I'm alive I once had a notion I'd get that promotion, but now I barley survive A wife to demanding with no understanding Of why I stay dead on my feet A dimly lit tavern a willing young woman Are some of the reasons I cheat The hair that I'm losing and a women who's choosing To lay sound asleep by my side The bills they are mounting that's when I start counting On someone to help sooth my pride A lady that knows me affection she shows me and a smile so easy and sweet The dreams that I've buried the load that I've carried Are some of the reasons I cheat My children keep on growing me age keeps on showing Like all of my old friends I meet So I'm getting older my life's growing colder Just some of the reasons I cheat Yes I'm getting older my life's growing colder Just some of the reasons I cheat |

The judge found me guilty of wrong doing
And sentaced me to hang in mid-July He said to me "Your lifes a ruin" "If I was you I'd breake right down a cry" Well, Nobody seems to care I ain't guilty I never did the things they said I've done But I guess they have to hang somebody And It's looking like I'm gonna be the one So send my body home on a freight trian Don't worry none if I don't go 1st class Send my body home of a fright train So everyone can see me when I pass Don't worry none about no fancy funeral Cause it don't matter how they lay me down Just see they bury me out by Mama's Apple Tree and send my body back to my home town My Mama was a damm ahrd working woman and she tried to raise he kids without a fault The last thing sh said, she was on her dying bed was "Son, on't get in trouble with the law" When the time comes to meet my maker I'm gonna try my very best to take it like a man When they ask if I have one request I'll just say "send my body home on a freight trian Don't worry none if I don't go 1st class Send my body home of a fright train So everyone can see me when I pass" "Don't worry none about no fancy funeral Cause it don't matter how they lay me down Just see they bury me out by Mama's Apple Tree and send my body back to my home town" |

There's a dirty piece of cardboard That reads Montgomery Ward Taped across the window of my old Ford. A six-pack on the front seat and a box of chicken wings, I'm dialin' 'cross the radio for a song that I can sing I'd better change my wandrin ways, I know I've seen my better days, Always gettin' high when I get low. Well, I left my soul out in the rain, Lord, what a price I've had to pay. The storms of life are washin' me away. An old mail pouch, tobacco sign Fadin' on the barn, Bringin' back sweet memories of Mama's farm When love was just a country girl that lived on down the road. Spoken: you know, she almost had me turned around, But that was years ago. I'd better change my wandrin ways, I know I've seen my better days, Always gettin' high when I get low. Well, I left my soul out in the rain, Lord, what a price I've had to pay. The storms of life are washin' me away. Yeah, the storms of life are washin' me away. |

There may no be a Superbowl in 2083
Cars and trains and video games will all be history The world just keeps on changing, things come and then they go Nothing lasts forever except one thing I know There'll always be a honky tonk With a jukebox in the corner And someone crying in their beer And one old hanger-oner And a lady looking lonely From a losing love affair Yeah there'll always be a honky tonk somewhere Yeah there'll always be a honky tonk somewhere There may be factories on the moon and farming out in space It seems there's nothing here on earth That something won't replace But as long as there's a broken heart there'll be a place to go Where good ole boys meet good ole girls And the wine and music flow |

Mama always prayed that I'd be a better man than daddy And I determined not to let her down Deserted by the man she loved and left to raise four children We were the local gossip of the town. I promised her that I'd live right and not be like the others But I wound up in jail on Chrismas day I told her I'd be home and not to worry 'bout my brothers When I got home my mom had passed away And I hear tell the road to hell is paved with good intentions And mama my intentions were the best There's lotsa things in my life I just as soon not mention Looks like I've turned out like all the rest But mama my intentions were the best A little boy with big blue eyes a-beggin' to go fishing I promised him but never took the time Now they won't let me see him and I sit here a-wishing Wishin' I could hold him one more time And I hear tell the road to hell is paved with good intentions And mama my intentions were the best There's lotsa things in my life I just as soon not mention Looks like I've turned out like all the rest But mama my intentions were the best But mama my intentions were the best |

Suppose I called you up tonight and told you that I loved you
And suppose I said "I wanna come back home". And suppose I cried and said "I think I finally learned my lesson" And I'm tired a-spendin' all my time alone. If I told you that I realised you're all I ever wanted And it's killin' me to be so far away. Would you tell me that you loved me too and would we cry together? Or would you simply laugh at me and say: "I told you so, oh I told you so I told you some day you come crawling back and asking me to take you in I told you so, but you had to go Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again". If I got down on my knees and told you I was yours forever Would you get down on yours to and take my hand? Would we get that old time feelin', would we laugh and talk for hours The way we did when our love first began? Would you tell me that you'd missed me too and that you'd been so lonely And you waited for the day that I return. And we'd live in love forever and that I'm your one and only Or would you say the tables finally turned? Would you say: "I told you so, oh I told you so I told you some day you come crawling back and asking me to take you in I told you so, but you had to go Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again". "Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again". |

You're my always and forever.
You're the one that hung the moon. After all these nights together I still get lost in your perfume. And if I could write a love song, Every line would tell the truth. It would be a warm and soft one And my heart would say to you When you see me walk on water, When the sea don't reach the shore When the fires of hell freeze over, I won't need you anymore Oh, the feelings lay so easy, Lyin' here the way we are. No one else could ever hold me Like the heavens hold the stars. When you see me walk on water, When the sea don't reach the shore When the fires of hell freeze over, I won't need you anymore I won't need you anymore |

Dirt road in the twilght, woods so cool and dark. Up ahead pale neon, somewhere a dog barks, Honky-tonk moon, keeps shining on my baby and me Breaking up the pool balls, chalking up the cues Juke box pumping softly, lazy summer blues Honky-tonk moon, keeps shining on my ba-by and me Through the blue smoky haze, all through the haze Trouble seems to melt away............. My heart's on a roll, I'm easy in my soul There's no hurry, no worry, things are goin' my way My arms around my baby, shufflin' on the floor Cigarettes and saw-dust, squeaky old screen door. Honk- Tonk Moon, keeps shinin on my baby and me. Outside the dark is falling, stars are twinkling bright That old Hoot Owl is calling, every-things all right Honky Tonk Moon, keeps shinin on my baby and me. Honky Tonk Moon, keeps shinin on my baby and me. |

Being without you has turned out to be so inconvenient And wishing I was with you just seems to use up all my time You've been gone so long that it's hard to recall Just how the dream went And all but this broken heart in me I guess is doing fine Chorus: Is it still over, are we still through Since my phone still ain't ringing I assume it still ain't you I've half a mind to take the time to find somebody new But I'm not too sure that I'm still over you That lie that I tried to slip by you Was told with good intentions It was just another way to say I love you And protect you from the truth Half a pound of cure is surely worth a half an ounce of pure prevention And trying to explain while I'm insane Is the hardest thing I've ever tried to do Chorus If I repeat myself it's cause I've nothing else to do And I'm not too sure that I'm still over you |

I'll just turn away, there's not need to watch her leaving
I don't want to let her see me cry And the part of me that's breaking Is The part that has been taking her for granted And that's why she said goodbye I twas me that let her down and left her lonely But her leaving me was never in my plan It started with my lying And it ended with me crying And she's taken all the lonely she can stand It's out of my hands now It's over and done She's made her choice now And I'm not the one She'll find her future with some other man It was all up to me but I just couldn't see Now it's out of my hands. She tried every way she knew to make me happy She was more than just a lover and a friend I was just too blind to see And now she set me free So it's best to walk away and let it end It's out of my hands now It's over and done She's made her choice now And I'm not the one She'll find her future with some other man It was all up to me but I just couldn't see Now it's out of my hands. |

Cheap perfume, and painted faces...
fallen angels fill the places where I go when my troubles bring me down. All the lies, I know they'll tell me, and the time that they will sell me... for a while, I'll be the biggest man in town. Back at home... in bed, she's crying. For her love for me is dying. But she'll pray I make it safely through the night. When the morning sun starts showing, to her bedside I'll be going, And she'll hold me while I face the morning light. And I'll make promises... promises to change. I'll make her promises, swear I'll rearrange, and I'll start giving all the love she needs, if only she will stay. Once again, she'll reassure me. And I believe her love will cure me, and I'll fall asleep with tears on my face. And I know she's just a woman, and her love can't last forever. And someday soon, I know she'll leave without a trace. For, broken promises will tear her dreams apart. Just token promises will someday break her heart, and for the last time, she'll hold me when I cry, and while I'm sleeping... she'll quietly say goodbye |

We're different as day and night But I guess that I refused to face it The blues in black and white When I got home I knew, baby Something was wrong tonight When I found the note you wrote ,it gave The blues in black and white CHORUS Color my world without you in it And the future dont look too bright Darlin' its not a pretty picture The blues in black and white Since you've been gone I'm going crazy I've got to get on with my life Maybe I'll write a book and call it The blues in black and white repeat chorus |

You can throw away my picture, empty out my dresser drawer Break up all the dishes, change the lock on the door But you cant erase my memory, no matter how you try It dont mean its over, just because you said goodbye I'm sorry that I hurt you, but you made me so mad If I dont care about you, why do I feel so bad We're almost out of sugar, and our matches got wet But we ain't out of love yet We ain't out of love yet lets not do something hasty,baby,that we'll regret Our lovin cup aint empty, there's still plenty left We aint out of love yet We might run out of gas and be left out in the rain Could run out of ciggarettes or money again A little out of touch or just plain out of our heads But we aint out of love yet We aint out of love yet Lets not do something hasty, baby, that we'll regret Our lovin cup aint empty theres still plenty left We aint out of love yet And with just a little mending we can have a happy ending Lets forgive and forget We dont need a lawyer now we just need a rest Then we can ge back into doin' what we do best Was scarlett ever through with rhett You cant break up a perfect set And we aint out of love yet |

I'm gonna take you down to the riverside
Where the water runs slow and wide There's a big ole rock out in the middle And I took my hammer and chisel And worked all night so you could see Just how much you mean to me I carved your name right next to mine And it'll be there till the end of time And my love will last at least that long It's written in stone how I feel for you It's written in stone what I want to do Spend my life and life hereafter loving you And darling if we live to be 100 Or if we don't make it half that long I want you to know how I feel for you Is written in stone There's a place on the edge of town When I was a kid I found Two names on a stone together Lying side by side forever And it was then and there I knew If I ever thought a love was true I'd surely want to write it down On something that would be around When all the spoken words have come and gone It's written in stone how I feel for you It's written in stone what I want to do Spend my life and life hereafter loving you And darling if we live to be 100 Or if we don't make it half that long I want you to know what I feel for you Is written in stone And when this life has come and gone Our love will still be Written in stone how I feel for you Written in stone what I want to do Spend my life and life hereafter loving you And darling if we live to be 100 Or if we don't make it half that long I want you to know how I feel for you Is written in stone |

Since the day I was led to temptation And in weakness did let your love down I have prayed that with time and compassion You'd come around I keep waiting for you to forgive me And you keep saying you can't even start And I feel like a stone you have picked up and thrown To the hard rock bottom of your heart To the hard rock bottom of your heart Now this home we have built is still standing It's foundation is on solid ground Do we roll up our sleeves and repair it Or burn it down I keep waiting for you to forgive me And you keep saying you can't even start And I feel like a stone you have picked up and thrown To the hard rock bottom of your heart To the hard rock bottom of your heart We can't just block it out We've got to talk it out Until our hearts get back in touch I need your love I miss it I can't go on like this is Hurts too much |

There's not a mean bone in my body
I never could be unkind I know we're not talking But there's something on my mind It ain't rightteous indignation I don't plan to rant or rave No need for us to fight and fuss I just want to say Have a nice rest of your life without me I'll be proud to be a part of your history If it makes you happy, honey Keep talking bad about me And have a nice rest of your life without me I know you're not heartless Not callous and you're not cruel And I know you don't mean to When you treat me like a fool I beleive that your good nature Will emerge with someone else If I can't be beside you I can be beside myself. Have a nice rest of your life without me I'll be proud to be a part of your history If it makes you happy, honey Keep talking bad about me And have a nice rest of your life without me Without me Don't forget your pocketbook, honey Or your toothbrush Don't forget you toothbrush, dear... - Instrumental to fade - |

He wore starched white shirts buttoned at the neck He'd sit in the shade and watch the chickens peck His teeth were gone but what the heck I thought that he walked on water Said he was a cowboy when he was young Could handle a rope and he was good with a gun And my momma's daddy was his oldest son And I thought that he walked on water If the story is told only heaven knows But his hat seemed to me like an old halo And though his wings they were never seen I thought that he walked on water He tied a cord to the end of a map Said, "Son, here's a pony, keep her at a trot" I'd ride in circles while he laughed a lot Then I'd flop down beside him He was ninety years old in '63 I loved him and he loved me Lord I cried the day he died Cause I thought that he walked on water |

I've searched the world over all of my life Just looking for something To make my love shine Like a candle that burns in the night But I came up with nothing Till I looked in your eyes Deeper and deeper inside And all of the treasures I found in your soul Was like finding a diamond When you're mining for coal I've been a fool for glitter and gold And women that sparkle shiny and cold Like a statue carved out of ice They shimmer like tinsel On a blue Christmas night But they never were quite so bright As all of the treasures That loving you holds It's like finding a diamond When you're mining for coal I was a miner And you were a rock in the dust But you became flawless When you were you polished by love And when I found you I lost all control I found me a diamond Just mining for coal |

You made up your mind it was time it was over After we had come so far But I think there's enough pieces of forgiveness Somewhere in my broken heart I would not have chosen the road you have taken It have left us miles apart But I think I can still find the will to keep going Somewhere in my broken heart So fly, go ahead and fly Untill you find out who you are 'Cause I will keep my love unspoken Somewhere in my broken heart I hope that in time you will find what you long for Love that's written in the stars And when you finally do I think you will see it's Somewhere in my broken heart |

we named it forever and we lived on each other's dreams you helped me build bridges to cross raging rivers when your world was turning for me i know that it's over, i know that you're leaving i know that you crave to be free but i can't help wishing that time could turn backwards when your world was turning for me what happened to always and forever i'll love you and the future that was so plain to see the dream seemed so endless and love had no boundaries when your world was turning for me |

Not too many years ago
When dreams were coming true I'd reach for inspiration Sometimes it would be you I'd hear you on the radio I sure did like your sound Say it's good to know there's still A few ol' country boys around From the smoke it's hard to tell What's coming down the line We heard you were a fast train Coming out of Caroline We wondered what you were haulin' When you rolled into to town Say it's good to know there's still A few ol' country boys around You must have felt that same old feeling More than once or twice Guitars pressed against our hearts Under the neon lights I've got to say that feeling is the best that I have found Lord it's good to know there's still A few ol' country boys around There's a lot of truth you know In our kind of songs About the life you're living And how love's done you wrong As long as there's a jukebox And a honky tonk in town It's good to know there's still A few ol' country boys around It's good to know there's still A few ol' country boys around |

Oh they say some people long ago
Were searching for a different tune One that they could croon as only they can They heard the breeze in the trees Singing weird melodies And they made that the start of the blues And from a jail came the wail Of a down-hearted frail And they played that as part of the blues From a whippoorwill out on a hill They took a new note Pushed it through a horn till it was worn into a blue note And then they nursed it, rehearsed it and gave out the news That the Southland gave birth to the blues |

Down through the ages men have died for women And done so for many times Each time I loved one, I ve always lost one Seems the right one is so hard to find. Shopping for dresses with no one to wear them One in each color, one in each style. I ll find a lady someday to wear them, My shopping will be done for awhile. I ll bet somewhere s a lady shopping for britches Comparing the value, appraising each pair. Maybe someday the Lord will bring us together And we ll both have a new wardrobe to wear Shopping for dresses with no one to wear them One in each color and one in each style. Maybe someday if I'm lucky I ll find someone to wear them And my shopping will be done for awhile. My shopping will be done for awhile. I m looking for a lady who ll look good in dresses She must be red-headed, green eyes and be fair. I ll make exceptions to all my requirements As long as she s willing to care. Chorus: I just saw a beauty with blue eyes, what a cutie Bond hair like a halo around her did flow, But the brunette beside her would be just as lovely In the dresses I bought long ago. Chorus: Now as I sit here dreaming, planning and scheming, Why should I make standards when everyone knows As your need ranges, women make changes And you must accept them or just let them go.

After all these years i can still hear grandpa laughin' As he applied that barnyard remedy He passed his wisdom down to me You don't reach for the honey without smokin' the hive I remember my first crush was on the preacher's daughter We were smoochin' on the front porch swing that night when he caught her We weren't expectin' him home until quarter past ten When the good Lord taught me that lesson again You don't reach for the honey without smokin' the hive You don't point your pistol before you check each chamber And you don't drink no you don't drink when you drive It's just ordinary common sense to avoid that danger You don't reach for the honey without smokin' the hive She rolled into town with rodeo,she was a beauty And that cowboy saw you wink at her,she was a cutie The sound of jinglin' spurs caught me dead on a run He was fit to be tied and you were under the gun You don't reach for the honey without smokin' the hive Chorus.

In a room where I once heard "Good Morning Dear" I never thought I'd miss the early morning smell Of hairspray in the air All the little things I used to take for granted Now I miss them most of all Ain't it funny how a woman walking out the door Can bring a man to crawl And I'd surrender all To bring you back to me Give up everything I own Get down on my hands and knees Just to hear the phone ringing down the hall Oh, If you would only call, I'd surrender all Now I'm staring out the window Praying every passing car would bring you home So I could take you in my arms And give the kind of love You should have known And I'd surrender all To bring you back to me Give up everything I own Get down on my hands and knees Just to hear the phone ringing down the hall Oh, If you would only call, I'd surrender all If you would only call, I'd surrender all |

I'm sorry you're feeling so lonely I know how hard it can be You lost your one and your only You told her you had to be free You say that you think she's found somebody new Who gives her the love that she needs Now it's safe to say it's a bad day for you But oh what a time to be me You say that you just had to call her To tell her you knew you were wrong You're thinking you mis-dialed her number Just because I answered the phone I hate to be the one to have to break it to you But you got it accurately Now it's safe to say it's a bad day for you But oh what a time to be me Remember those kisses you used to receive They sure feel good on my cheek And now that you mentioned it, I can't believe That anyone could ever leave a love so sweet Now I truly hope that we can still be friends It's hard to find a buddy like you And you're more than welcome But right now I get something to do And oh by the way here's a message for you Would you mind returning her key There's somebody else that she's giving it to And oh, what a time to be me Remember those kisses you used to receive They sure feel good on my cheek And now that you mentioned it, I can't believe That anyone could ever leave a love so sweet Now I truly hope that we can still be friends It's hard to find a buddy like you And you're more than welcome But right now I get something to do And oh by the way here's a message for you Would you mind returning her key There's somebody else that she's giving it to And oh, what a time to be me Now it's safe to sa |

There is a point when you can not walk away,
When you have to stand up straight and tall, And mean the words you say. There is a point you must beside, Just to do it because it's right, That's when you become a point of light. There is a darkness that everyone must face, It wants to take what's good and fair, And lay it on the waste. And that darkness, covers everything inside, Until it meat a single point of light. Home it takes it's a point of light a ray of hope in the darkest night if you see what's wrong and you try to make it right You will see a point of light There are heroes, Whose name we never heard, a dedicated army of quiet volunteers. Reaching out to feed the hungry, reaching out to save the land, reaching out to help they'r fellow man. There are dreamers who are make this dream come true taking time to teach the children, there is nothing they can't do. Giving shelter to the homeless, giving hope to those without, is'nt that what this land all about. One by one, from the mountain to the see, point's of light, are calling out for you and me. Home it takes it's a point of light a ray of hope in the darkest night if you see what's wrong and you try to make it right You will see a point of light If you see what's wrong and you try to make it right You will be a point of light. |

Well last night I dug your picture out from our old dresser drawer I set it on the table and I talked to it til four Then I read some old love letters right up til the break of dawn Well tonight I'm sittin alone diggin up bones I'm a diggin up bones Exhuming things that's better left alone I'm resurrecting memories of a love that's dead and gone Well tonight I'm sittin alone diggin up bones Then I went through the closet and I found some things in there Like that pretty lingerie that I bought you to wear Then I recalled how good you looked each time you had it on Well tonight I'm sittin alone diggin up bones Then I went through the jewelry and I found our wedding rings I put mine on my finger and I gave yours a fling Across this lonely bedroom of our recent broken home Well tonight I'm sittin alone diggin up bones I'm a diggin up bones Exhuming things that's better left alone I'm resurrecting memories of a love that's dead and gone Well tonight I'm sittin alone diggin up bones |

You may think that I'm talking foolish
You've heard that I'm wild and I'm free You may wonder how I can promise you now This love that I feel for you Always will be You're not just time that I'm killing I'm no longer one of those guys As sure as live This love that I give Is gonna be yours until the day that I die Oh baby I'm gonna love you forever Forever and ever, amen As long as old men sit and talk about the weather As long as old women sit and talk about old men If you wonder how long I'll be faithful I'll be happy to tell you again I'm gonna love you Forever and ever Forever and ever amen They say time takes its toll on a body Makes a young girl's brown hair turn gray Well, honey, I don't care I ain't in love with your hair And if it all fell out I'd love you anyway Well, they say time can play tricks on a memory Make people forget things they knew Well, it's easy to see It's happening to me I've already forgotten every women but you Oh baby I'm gonna love you forever Forever and ever, amen As long as old men sit and talk about the weather As long as old women sit and talk about old men If you wonder how long I'll be faithful Just listen to how this song ends I'm gonna love you Forever and ever Forever and ever amen I'm gonna love you Forever and ever Forever and ever Forever and ever amen |

He wore starched white shirts buttoned at the neck He'd sit in the shade and watch the chickens peck His teeth were gone but what the heck I thought that he walked on water Said he was a cowboy when he was young Could handle a rope and he was good with a gun And my momma's daddy was his oldest son And I thought that he walked on water If the story is told only heaven knows But his hat seemed to me like an old halo And though his wings they were never seen I thought that he walked on water He tied a cord to the end of a map Said, "Son, here's a pony, keep her at a trot" I'd ride in circles while he laughed a lot Then I'd flop down beside him He was ninety years old in '63 I loved him and he loved me Lord I cried the day he died Cause I thought that he walked on water |

You're my always and forever You're the one that hung the moon After all these nights together I still get lost in your perfume And if I could write a love song Every line would tell the truth It would be a warm and soft one And my heart would say to you Chorus: When you see me walk on water When the sea don't reach the shore When the fires of hell freeze over I won't need you anymore Oh the feelings lay so easy Lying here the way we are No one else could ever hold me Like the heavens hold the stars Chorus |

Being without you has turned out to be so inconvenient And wishing I was with you just seems to use up all my time You've been gone so long that it's hard to recall Just how the dream went And all but this broken heart in me I guess is doing fine Chorus: Is it still over, are we still through Since my phone still ain't ringing I assume it still ain't you I've half a mind to take the time to find somebody new But I'm not too sure that I'm still over you That lie that I tried to slip by you Was told with good intentions It was just another way to say I love you And protect you from the truth Half a pound of cure is surely worth a half an ounce of pure prevention And trying to explain while I'm insane Is the hardest thing I've ever tried to do Chorus If I repeat myself it's cause I've nothing else to do And I'm not too sure that I'm still over you |

Someday, Someway You'll realise that you've been blind Yes Darling, you're going to need me again It's just a matter of time Go on, go on Til you reach the end of the line Cause I know you'll pass my way again It's just a matter of time After I gave you everything I had You laughed and you called me a clown Remember in your search for fortune and fame What goes up must come down I know, I know That one day you'll wake up and find That my love is a true love It's just a matter of time Words are spoken with chords played Someday and Someway Girl you'll realise that you've been blind Yes Darling, I know you gonna need me again It's just a matter of time After I gave you everything I had You laughed and you called me a clown But remember in your search for fortune and fame What goes up must come down I know, I know That one day you'll wake up and find That my love was a true love It's just a matter of time |

I remember how it used to feel Riding down old two mile hill Tennis shoes up on the handle bars Paying no mind to the passing cars No doubts, no fears, just like when you are here No chains, no strings, no fences, no wall No net, just you to catch me when I fall Look heart, no hands. It took a little time to get up to speed To find the confidence and strength I need To just let go and reach for the sky You know sometimes it felt I could fly. No doubts, no fears, just like when you are here. No chains, no strings, no fences, no wall No net, just you to catch me when I fall Look heart, no hands. It doesn't take much, just a smile or a touch And I'm a kid again, I can almost feel that wind No chains, no strings, no fences, no wall No net, just you to catch me when I fall Look heart, no hands. Look heart, no hands |

Well there's my easy chair
Just sittin' there I've spent a lot of time Thinkin' of this perfect love I know is yours and mine And oh how I love That old picture on the wall Of you and me and the kids My most favorite times in life I've spent right here where we live There's no place like home There's no place like home It just hit me As I was leaving There's no place like home From the bedroom I smell perfume My favorite kind your wore And it brings back memories Of all those nights Behind our bedroom door And the saddest thing I think I've ever seen Was my closet all cleaned out It's sad to think That one must leave Cause we can't work things out There's no place like home There's no place like home It just hit me As I was leaving There's no place like home So baby say that I can stay For just a day or so Then maybe I can change your mind And I won't have to go Just look into These baby blues And tell me it's okay I love that smile It drives me wild No love won't die today There's no place like home There's no place like home |

Cheap perfume, and painted faces...
fallen angels fill the places where I go when my troubles bring me down. All the lies, I know they'll tell me, and the time that they will sell me... for a while, I'll be the biggest man in town. Back at home... in bed, she's crying. For her love for me is dying. But she'll pray I make it safely through the night. When the morning sun starts showing, to her bedside I'll be going, And she'll hold me while I face the morning light. And I'll make promises... promises to change. I'll make her promises, swear I'll rearrange, and I'll start giving all the love she needs, if only she will stay. Once again, she'll reassure me. And I believe her love will cure me, and I'll fall asleep with tears on my face. And I know she's just a woman, and her love can't last forever. And someday soon, I know she'll leave without a trace. For, broken promises will tear her dreams apart. Just token promises will someday break her heart, and for the last time, she'll hold me when I cry, and while I'm sleeping... she'll quietly say goodbye |

I know I sent you packin' But now I want you back again Livin' without you ain't no livin' at all How I miss your naggin' And your tongue a-waggin' And the crash of the coffee cup up against the bedroom wall In the kitchen early in the mornin' Midnight walkin' the floor Without your cryin', cussin' and your moanin' Home ain't home anymore Chorus: So come on, honey Come home and spend my money Come back, mama, and take another swing at me I told my friends how I sent you runnin' Cause you didn't do me right But if I looked up and saw you comin' You could do me wrong all night Chorus |

Must be doin' something wrong baby I don't know
But the gold fish are floating at the top of the bowl And the dog he won't eat he just lays around All night long he makes a lonesome sound I know I had it coming and it's all my fault But baby come back Before you kill us all The way the plants are dyin' you'd swear it's fall Looks just like autumn up and down the hall And I talk to 'em baby like you s'posed to do But they're tired of hearing how I'm missin' you And I know you told me not to call But baby come back Before you kill us all Well it's a desperate situation I got a strong will to survive But if this place is any indication I may not make it out on time Well it's an eerie feeling in the still of the night Knowin' that the cats down to three more lives You've turned as all into nervous wrecks We just sit around and wanderin' who's goin' to be next And I know I had it coming and it's all my fault But baby come back Before you kill us all Baby come back Before you kill us all Baby come back Baby come back Before you kill us all Baby come back |

This song is originally played in the key of E Don't you cry don't you moan Hang your head down all night long That ole feeling sure ain't nothing new It's in your walk, it's in your talk There's only one way to shake it off, You got to get to it before it gets to you So Put a quarter in that jukebox, let it drop Put another one in, play it again, don't let it stop There's only one thing I've found That'll turn it all around The blues can't do no business On a honky tonk side of town You gotta slip, you gotta slide There're gonna try to nail your hide Yeah, they'll put a hurting on you, given half a chance So get mean and get slick You gotta pull out every trick Cause everybody knows the blues don't like to dance Well, you can walk that walk And talk that talk, and boogie till you shake it off No the blues can't do no business The blues can't do no business The blues can't do no business On the honky tonk side of town |

Verse 1:
Oscar was an angel and he used to walk the streets Shoutin' out some prophesies at everyone he'd meet He was a local fixture; like a cop out on a beat Folks said he'd been shell-shocked long ago And more than that for no one seemed to know Oscar was a walker; at least four miles twice a day The entire lenght of Main Street he'd be shoutin' all the way And I had no idea where he heard the things he'd say But he was not your normal voice of doom; It was a happy song sung slightly out of tune Refrain: And he'd say, |

Hope you didnt burn too many bridges On your way back to haunt my heart Cause its safe behind these stones and ridges You know how us healin victims are I take comfort where I find it In the neon and the crowds I guess someone like me designed it This place where old flames arent allowed Theres a border you cant cross Theres a wall that you cant climb The space is drawn too wide Between your world and mine Youve already broke my heart (And) I wont let you break my mind As far as your memory goes Thats where I draw the line Ill bet this isnt how you planned it Ive picked myself up off the ground These legs are shakin, but theyre standin And I wont let you knock me down Theres a border you cant cross Theres a wall that you cant climb The space is drawn too wide Between your world and mine Youve already broke my heart (And) I wont let you break my mind As far as your memory goes Thats where I draw the line Thats where I draw the line |

On the top shelf in the closet in the workshop where he spent his extra time
Was a dusty wooden box but I had never noticed till that time Then we set it on the table and carefully we opened up the top And stared into the memories daddy kept inside the box There was a letter from mama when She went out to Reno to help her sister out in sixty two And a flower from Hawaii when they went on vacation It was the first time that my daddy ever flew And the pocket knife I gave to him on fathers day Years ago I thought it had been lost We all thought his heart was made of solid rock But that was long before we found the box I guess we always knew it, but 'I love you' was hard for him to say Some men show it easily and some just never seem to find the way But that night I began to see a softer side of someone I had lost I saw the love he kept inside the first time when we opened up the box There was a picture that was taken When he and mom were dating standin' by his 1944 And the faded leather Bible, he got when he was baptized I guess no one understood him like the Lord And the poem that he had written about his wife and children The tender words he wrote were quite a shock We all thought his heart was made of solid rock But that was long before we found the box We all thought his heart was made of solid rock But that was long before we found the box |

I heard a freight train out across the way
I heard a woman sing Amazing Grace I heard a night bird call to its mate When I heard you whisper my name I heard freedom break its chain I heard a heart beat where once no sound remained I heard angels rise and praise When I heard you whisper my name Chorus: I heard music bring a heart of stone to tears I heard peace ring like an anthem through the years And I heard hatred fall from grace When I heard you whisper my name Beating softly against the waves Fell a sound of an early morning rain And though the lightning and thunder came I still heard you whisper my name -Chorus- And I heard angels rise and praise When I heard you whisper my name |

They say we're grown up We've been searching all this time And I wouldn't own up Never would admit to flying blind But in the darkness We found each other anyhow Darling, are we in trouble now? When we talk it over Our love was a cry from a distant shore Then we found each other And all that we'd been searching for And I'm done denying Yeah, I guess by now you know I'm through with trying Can't bring myself to let you go And all these feelings Said we never would allow Darling, are we in trouble now?
