Things are changin' in the modern world.
It makes it kinda crazy for a boy an' girl. An awful lot of noise on the radio. It really don't rock, it really don't roll. Well, a kid'll come along, make the young girls swoon. They all put his picture in their pink bedrooms. They all hail the brand new king. Everybody's waitin' for the next big thing. Big cigars an' diamond rings. Ridin' all around in a limousine. When you finally hit the top, man, you know what that means? Well, everybody's ready for the next big thing. For a little while, you can do no wrong. Live it up, son, 'cause it don't last long. There's always somebody a-waitin' in the wings, Thinkin' they're gonna be the next big thing. Big cigars an' diamond rings. Ridin' all around in a limousine. When you finally hit the top, man, you know what that means? Well, everybody's ready for the next big thing. I'll get a Camel hat, some real tight jeans. I'll lose a little weight an' get a belly-button ring. You better stand back, I'm a lean machine, yeah: Baby, I'm gonna be the next big thing. Big cigars an' diamond rings. Ridin' all around in a limousine. When you finally hit the top, man, you know what that means? Well, everybody's ready for the next big thing. Everybody's ready for the next big thing. |

I saw an old lover
Today on the street She said do you remember How we used to be On fire with that passion We'd burn down those nights No I haven't forgotten How we used to fight I finally got married Settled on down Yeah she's a preachers daughter In a sleepy little town She'd make you laugh Since we said goodbye No she aint that funny But she never makes me cry she never makes me cry like you used to Theres nothing about her that reminds me of you I promise I dont see your face when I look in her eyes And she never makes me cry Does she makes you beg for her love in the night no she aint that selfish And she never makes me cry she never makes me cry like you used to Theres nothing about her that reminds me of you I promise I dont see your face when I look in her eyes she never makes me wonder when she's coming home There's something about her like I've never known It's been nice to see you but now i must say goodbye she never makes me cry she never makes me cry no no |

We've been up, all night long
Tryin' to solve a problem and it's almost dawn Ain't no time for sleepin', if our love is everything Cause I ain't givin' up, you ain't givin' in Chorus: When our love starts slippin' Love start slippin' away Cause the life we're living' Gets harder everyday Don't let our love start slippin, Love start slippin' away Baby when love, walks a real thin line No communication, kills it every time So open up your heart, baby we can work it out We got that kind of love, people dream about Chorus It's past the point of right or wrong We'll find a way to just hold on, yeah Music Chorus Last line x 2 |

I wipe a tear away
As I give up this day Wondering if I'll ever find Someone And when I close my eyes and dream These are the words I'm whispering Someday.. Love will... Come I won't have a doubt My head up in the clouds Certain as the morning sun I will always believe There's somebody just for me Someday... Love will... Come Someday After all these nights of waiting Someday I'll find a chance worth taking (Seevingly) from waking up alone My heart will find a home Someday She'll be so beautiful The sweetest miracle Someay... Love will... Come Someday After all these nights of waiting Someday I'll find a chance worth taking (Seevingly) from waking up alone My heart will find the home Someday And when I close my eyes and dream These are the words I'm whispering Someday... Love will... Come Someday Love will Come |

Baby, let's just say farewell
Baby, let's just both give in No, it's not too hard to tell The walls are closin' in Oh, it's time to say goodbye And put this in the past Even though I know we tried To save the best for last I guess nothin' stays the same Still the memories remain We need all the sweet forgiveness we can find There's a sadness in the wind Oh, I wish you well, my friend Only time will mend these broken hearts again I don't know what's left to say I don't know where we went wrong When I watch you walk away I'll miss you when you're gone Baby, shed a tear for me And I'll shed a tear for you Oh, let's set this heartache free And in time, we'll make it through Well, I guess nothin' stays the same Still the memories remain We need all the sweet forgiveness we can find There's a sadness in the wind Oh, I wish you well, my friend Only time will mend these broken hearts again There's a sadness in the wind Oh, I wish you well, my friend Only time will mend these broken hearts again Only time will mend Only time will mend these broken hearts again |

We closed down the border cantina
And drank margaritas till dawn You were my sweet senorita And I was your handsome Don Juan We danced like there was no tomorrow We laughed and we lived and we loved That moment in time that we borrowed Never did last long enough [Chorus:] Yeah, we had it all going our way for a little while We had it all right in the palm of our hands We had it all going our way for a little while Oh, how I wish we could go back there again We thought we were too young to marry Slowly we drifted apart Well baby, I miss you like crazy Those memories still burn in my heart Oh, let's find a way to rekindle That flame that burned long ago These days just can't hold a candle To those sweet nights in old Mexico [Chorus: Repeat 3X] |

I wake up one morning and it's passed you by.
Don't know when and you don't know why. I feel like an old memory hangin' round. An' man, you've got to face it, it's a young man's town. I knew this day was comin' all along. Some why bitch an' moan and say they done you wrong. Just teach 'em what you know an' pass it on down, 'Cause man, you gotta face it, it's a young man's town. It's a young man's town, Full of young man's dreams. An' all God's children gotta learn to spread their wings. An' sometimes you gotta stand back, An' watch 'em burn it to the ground, Even though you built it, it's a young man's town. You always seem to be the last to know. Man, that's just the way that the story goes. There's nothin' you can do when the fields have turned brown. An' man, you gotta face it, it's a young man's town. It's a young man's town, Full of young man's dreams. An' all God's children gotta learn to spread their wings. An' sometimes you gotta stand back, An' watch 'em burn it to the ground. An' even though you built it, it's a young man's town. Sometimes you gotta stand back, An' watch 'em burn it to the ground. Even though you built it, it's a young man's town. It's a young man's town. |

No man ever sounded so lonesome
No man ever made you feel such pain Lord, it must have been a real mean bottle That made you sing that way The stories you told about prison About a young man gone astray Lord, it must have been a real mean bottle That made you write the songs that way A real mean bottle poured straight from the devil It's a miracle you're standin' here today A real mean bottle made you such a rebel Must've been a real mean bottle made you sing that way You spent most all your life with strangers With a ramblin' fever in your veins Hag, it must have been a real mean bottle That made you play the blues that way A real mean bottle poured straight from the devil It's a miracle you're standin' here today A real mean bottle made you such a rebel It must've been a real mean bottle made you sing that way A real mean bottle poured straight from the devil It must've been a real mean bottle made you sing that way |

My dad was a man
With two hard workin' hands He always took time out for me Well, I'd come home from school Load up that canoe He'd say, "What's the bet gonna be?" We'd float that boat down old Whippoorwill River Catch us a big one or two Well, he taught me about life And its simple pleasures And whatever else that he knew. Then I met a girl With a head full of curls A pure and innocent heart Oh, I knew she was the one And when weekends would come Wild horses couldn't keep us apart. We'd run those ponies down Whippoorwill River And I'd steal a sweet kiss or two She taught me about love And its simple pleasures And whatever else that she knew. Well, I married that girl And we have a song And he looks like my daddy used to Oh, his mom and I Always find time To do things that he likes to do. Well, he loves to go fishing on Whippoorwill River And ride in his grandad's canoe We teach hima bout life And its simple pleasures And pass down a memory or two. Yeah, he loves to go fishing on Whippoorwill River And catch him a big one or two He's learning about life And its simple pleasures And making a memory or two. Ooh... |

Why don't you come clean, baby
I know what you're goin' through You must think I'm some kind of crazy Well, honey I'm just worried 'bout you. You look so much like your mama And I'm sorry for you that she's gone And if she was here she sould tell ya Don't lose sight of what's right or what's wrong. 'Cause you ain't foolin' nobody 'Cause baby, the talk gets around You ain't foolin' nobody 'Cause you're lovin' in this one horse town. Well, I hope your conscience is listening When you're out runnin' at night All it takes is one bad decision To haunt you the rest of your life. 'Cause you ain't foolin' nobody 'Cause baby, the talk gets around You ain't foolin' nobody 'Cause you're lovin' in this one horse town. 'Cause you ain't foolin' nobody 'Cause baby, the talk gets around You ain't foolin' nobody 'Cause you're lovin' in this one horse town... ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By REED NIELSON, VINCE GILL <i>Lyrics © WINDSWEPT HOLDINGS LLC</i> |

I wanna hear an old time fiddle
Play an old time fiddle song I might even drink just a little If you play 'Little Jolie Blon' If you're lookin' or me I'm liable to be In the middle of the ol' dance floor I wanna hear an old time fiddle Like you never get to hear anymore [Chorus:] I wanna throw down on a hoe down Hanging with the people I know Hear the sweet sound Of a breakdown When you put a little rosin on the bow Y'all come on over when the sun goes down Bang on the ol' screen door I wanna hear an old time fiddle Like you never get to hear anymore I miss ol' Herman Stover Playin' Listen To The Mockingbird It was Piedmont, Oklahoma It was the sweetest sound I ever heard Skinny ol' man in a cowboy band You could barely get the people in the door I wanna hear an old time fiddle Like you never get to hear anymore I wanna throw down on a hoe down Hanging with the people I know Hear the sweet sound Of a breakdown When you put a little rosin on the bow Play diggy diggy li Diggy diggy lo The a little Cotten-Eyed Joe I wanna hear an old time fiddle Like you never get to hear anymore. [Chorus:] Y'all come on over when the sun goes down Bang on the ol' screen door I wanna hear an old time fiddle Like you never get to hear anymore... |

Everytime I look into the mirror
I swear that I don't see the things you do You say it couldn't be any clearer And all I can see is me without you [Chorus] Without you trying to change me With you trying to take me And turn me into someone you once knew Without you trying to make me Without you trying to break me All I can see is me without you When you slipped that little ring around my finger you smiled and said your wilder days are through Well, I've got a real bad case of rambling fever And all I can see is me without you [Chorus: x 2] All I can see is me without you |

There's a man drinkin' whiskey in a barroom
He's nursin' a broken heart There's a woman at a table With her own brand of misery Cryin' in the dark. [Chorus] Will two hearts make on tonight Will somebody lost fond someone who's lost Will strangers info comfort In the cold neon light Will two hearts make one tonight. Oh, there's just a waitress between them They're so close to finding their dreams They're just one dance away From easing the pain Of coming apart at the seams. [Chorus: x2] Will two hears make one tonight |

This old guitar and me
And the things that we've been through C.F. Martin built him Back in nineteen forty-two I remember when we met I was only seventeen I spent all my college money On a half a dozen strings I thought my folks would kill me I found out I was wrong They said your future's written on your face When you sing those travelin' songs So we headed for Kentucky With a suitcase full of dreams My rough-out books, a few T-shirts A worn out pair of jeans, ooh This old guitar and me We spent a lot of nights alone Well, sometimes we'd get lucky And take bar maid home One night stands for breakfast Two strangers with the blues We'd wake up in the morning And both feel a little used Well, home was just a highway We'd roam from town to town Just me and that old flattop Not caring where we're bound From Maine to California With a five piece travelin' band Singin' songs about the hard times That face the common man, ooh This old guitar and me Lord, we did the best we could One was born a sinner And one a piece of wood God sent a wooden angel To guide me on my way We were meant to be together Until my dyin' day Well, now my dearest old companion Lies underneath my bed Well, our travelin' days are over Man, but the memories fill my head Well, I've settled with my family Here in the hills of Tennessee To teach my children's children 'Bout this old guitar and me, ooh |

In these last few days, you've been on my mind.
An' we should get together an' talk about old times. An' put the past behind us before life slips away. I been thinkin' 'bout you in these last few days. In these last few days, I have felt my age. I wish that I was younger, but time has turned the page. I sure miss the water and the rhythm of the waves. I've been feelin' fragile in these last few days. But I have been a father, a husband and a son. Lookin' back is bitter sweet now that my race has run. I've tried to be a witness from the cradle to the grave. Time has felt so precious in these last few days. Instrumental break. In these last few days, I have seen the light. And I'll be waitin' for you on the other side. My old friend, I love you: that's really all there's left to say. Lay down here beside me in these last few days. My old friend, I'll miss you, but I'm trying to be brave. Lay down here beside me in these last few days. |
