Here we go again On this telephone line Everytime we talk I always end up cryin You're always telling me about what I'm missing If I came back there I'd only end up wishing
Mamma I can come home but I can't stay long Gotta make a little money tryin to sing my song My heart's still there even though I'm gone I've put my roots deep in the ground of that tiny town
I can remember all the things you've said I hear your sweet voice talking in my head I'm a Mississippi girl, know I won't forget it But if I don't stay here I know I'm going to regret it
Mamma I can come home but I can't stay long Gotta make a little money tryin' to sing my song My hearts still there even though I'm gone I've put my roots deep in the ground of that tiny town
I feel your arms around me like it's yesterday I'm still daddy's little girl and I wont go away You know that I'm a dreamer and I've got to do this, gotta do this But know that I wish That I could come home I just can't stay long Gotta make a little money tryin' to sing my songs My hearts still there even though I'm gone I put my roots deep in the ground Of that tiny town Of that tiny town Of that tiny town
You're hot as a desert Hell in a sheet Home's anywhere you lay your feet Your heart is full of Tumbleweed and brimstone
Whisper in your whiskey Late at night You might fool an untrained eye But I know what you need Someone to depend on
Hey, I can be tender I can be sweet I can sweep the Devil Off his red hot feet Oh, I do love dancin' Down a hardwood hall Hey I'll be a huckleberry hell cat too Run a 100 miles backward in them boots When your tough gets tired Baby, give me a call See, I can tell by the way you walk You're ready to fall
Hard like a hammer Fit like a glove 47 different shades of love Don't you think it's time To try one on
Oh, you and Custer Fools of a feather Hide behind them hides of leather You'll throw up that white flag Before too long
See, I can be tender I can be sweet I can sweep the Devil Off his red hot feet Oh, I do love dancin' Down a hardwood hall Hey I'll be a huckleberry hell cat too Run a 100 miles backward in your boots When your tough gets tired Baby, give me a call See, I can tell by the way you talk You're ready to fall
Hey, na na na na na la na La na na na na na na Na na na na na na na na na naw
Hey, oo la na na Oo Oo Oo De da na na na na na Na na na na na na na na na
Maybe it's the liquor Maybe it's the night Maybe it's the way your face holds light Maybe it's the music Maybe it's lust Maybe you're a diamond Maybe you're dust Maybe I'm the woman Maybe you're the man Maybe we'll crawl Maybe we'll stand Maybe your heart's like Jericho's Wall Call me Joshua Ready to fall
Hey I can be tender I can be sweet I can sweep the Devil Off his red hot feet Oh, I do love dancin' Down a hardwood hall Hey I'll be a huckleberry hell cat too Run a 100 miles backward in them boots When your tough gets tired Baby, give me a call Hey, I can tell by the way you walk You're ready to fall

There's a king-size bed that ain't been slept in, Dinner on the table; it's sitting there cold again. The front porch light just gave up and burned out. Here you are looking like something the cat drug in, With a worn out story 'bout a-where you've been: Sweet little words coming out of your mouth.
You aint gonna lie, lie here anymore. You ain't gonna break this heart, Baby, like you did before. You're a silver tongued devil that had me believin', Every promise you were bound to break. But you aint getting back through this door: You don't lie here anymore.
You can beg and plead an' say that you're innocent; That you don't know where the time went, But that trace of perfume is a smokin' gun. So you can turn right around, Go back to where you've just been; Take a look at all you'll be missin', 'Cause you won't be here when the morning comes.
You aint gonna lie, lie here anymore. You ain't gonna break this heart, Baby, like you did before. You're a silver tongued devil that had me believin', Every promise you were bound to break. But you aint getting back through this door: You don't lie here anymore.
Hey, yeah: you're a silver tongued devil that had me believin', Every promise you were bound to break. But you aint getting back through this door: You don't lie here anymore. You don't lie here anymore. You don't lie here anymore.
How'd I get here baby How'd I get here in your arms Why do you make me crazy Why do I love a perfect storm I could look at you all night Stare into love and know that I
I wanna feel your face in my hands I wanna see your eyes take me in I wanna say again and again I want to love you I wanna let the kiss take it's time I wanna go where your soul meets mine And let you know that deep down inside I want to love you
I'm so lost in you now I'm so lost I can't be found My heart's goin' under Don't save me baby Let me drown I want your skin on my skin I wanna be someone I've never been
I wanna feel your face in my hands I wanna see your eyes take me in I wanna say again and again I want to love you I wanna let the kiss take it's time I wanna go where your soul meets mine And let you know that deep down inside I want to love you
I wanna love you I wanna love you I, I wanna love you
I wanna feel your face in my hands I wanna see your eyes take me in I wanna say again and again I want to love you I wanna let the kiss take it's time I wanna go where your soul meets mine And let you know that deep down inside I want to love you
Now you left me here And went on the town I don't know when I've been so down The sky is dark The moon's blue I don't know what I'm gonna do It's like fallin' down into muddy water
I've got the sound turned off On my old TV And the radio's on Playin' B.B. King I watch old movies And I listen to the blues Sittin' here waitin' up on you It's like fallin' down into muddy water
The clock on the wall Keeps a rollin' on 2 o' clock, 3 o'clock, 4 o' clock, 5 And baby you still ain't home
Well I fall sound asleep In a straight back chair The mornin' comes And you still ain't here Oh lord, I hear a noise Holdin' on to faithless love It's like fallin' down into muddy water
The clock on the wall Keeps a rollin' on 2 o' clock, 3 o'clock, 4 o' clock, and 5 And baby you still ain't home
Well you left me here And went on the town I don't know when I've been so down The sky is dark And the, the moon's blue I don't know what I'm gonna do It's like fallin' down into muddy water It's like fallin' down into muddy water
Hey, Fallin' down, down, down Into muddy water I keep on fallin' down, down, down Into muddy water I'm just fallin' down, down Into muddy water I keep fallin' down, down Into muddy water
You make me wanna buy a big Harley Deck it out in steel and chrome Trade in this old car; this old house Who we are and just be gone Oh baby yeah long gone Crank it up and let it roll Leave the grove on a stretch of road
Chorus: Ride to the edge of the world Free birds listen' to Merle All the way there With the wind in my hair I wanna ride no other highway down Never ever turn back around Oil tike this bikes got ways to fly And all I wanna do is ride
I can see us chasin' the sun Wide open where we can breathe We don't have to be anywhere or anyone we don't wanna be Oh baby just you and me For all I care they can eat my dust We're goin' where they can't find us
(Repeat Chorus)
Once I get goin' you know there's no slowin' me down Ridin' this metal just makes me forget all the stuff that was slowin' me down
Ride to the edge of the world Free birds listen' to Merle All the way there All the way there With the wind in my hair (my hair, my hair) I wanna ride no other highway down Never ever turn back around Oil tike this bikes got ways to fly And all I wanna do is ride With you baby
You make me wanna buy a big Harley Deck it out in steel and chrome
It was July And we were 17 Nothin' goin' on at the Dairy Queen So we drove to the river And he gave me his ring And I melted in his arms like my ice cream And nobody knows how far we went Except the river and me and the moon and him Sometimes I wanna go back again Hey girls you know what I mean Sometimes don't you wish you had a time machine Maggie May on the radio On still away and the dash boards glows I hear that song and I still melt And it take me back to the way we felt And nobody knows how far we went Except the river and me and the moon and him Sometimes I wanna go back again Hey girls you know what I mean Sometimes don't you wish you had a time machine
(Instrument break)
I close my eyes And I say a prayer And I hit that button and I'll be right there And nobody knows how far we went Except the river and me and the moon and him Sometimes I wanna go back again Hey girls you know what I mean Sometimes don't you wish you could stay 17 Hey girls you know what I mean Sometimes don't you wish you had a time machine Hey girls you know what I mean Sometimes don't you wish you had a time machine A time machine Oh a time machine
Don't think you're ever Gonna treat me like that And get away with it Cuz you won't
Don't think I'm ever Gonna follow the pack I don't like it So I don't
I'm goin' back I'm goin' back I'm goin' back to the other Side of the track I'm goin' back I'm goin' back I'm goin' back where they Never treat a girl like that
It didn't take me long To figure it out The situation, wasn't cool I might be comin' from The wrong side of town But I won't be Your fool
I'm goin' back I'm goin' back I'm goin' back To the other side of the track I'm goin' back I'm goin' back I'm goin' back Where a man's a man I'm goin' back Where momma makes all the rules I'm goin' back Where a guy won't fly off the handle When a girl whoops him at pool
Must be mistakin' me for somebody else For some other what's her name How can you even stand To look at yourself Without feelin' no shame
I'm goin' back Where a man's a man I'm goin' back Where momma makes all the rules I'm goin' back Where a guy won't fly off the handle When a girl whoops him at pool
I'm goin' back I'm goin' back I'm goin' back to the other Side of the track I'm goin' back I'm goin' back I'm goin' back where they Never treat a girl like that
I'm goin' back I'm goin' back I'm goin' back to the other Side of the track I'm goin' back I'm goin' back I'm goin' back where they Never treat a girl like that
Hey yeah, yeah ,yeah I'm goin' back I'm goin' back Hey yeah I'm goin' back where they Never treat a girl like that Oh yeah I'm goin' back I'm goin' back I'm goin' back I'm goin' back
I've worn down these wheels so much that they don't even spin. And I've picked the lock to your heart as if I were tryin' to break in You poor little thing, that ball and that chain must be ten thousand pounds Must be draggin' you down by now
So fly away, fly away like you've always wanted to do Don't be afraid baby I'll make it easy on you I'll be the strong one cause I love you still If you can't say goodbye then baby I will I hope someday you'll get over your fear of flying
We've been running from the truth so long that we can't catch our breath Oh and now heartache and a bottle of whiskey is all we've got left You poor little thing, locked up in your cage And I'm not the one stepping on your wings
So fly away fly away like you always wanted to do Don't be afraid baby I'll make it easy on you Don't say a word and don't make a sound Just get up and take your feet off the ground I hope someday you'll get over your fear of flying
So fly away fly away like you've always wanted to do I'll say goodbye baby I'll make it easy on you Oh I love you I hate you I miss you like hell But most of all baby I wish you well Maybe one day I'll get over these tears I'm crying Oh and someday you'll get over your fear of flying
