Your mama used to worry about that big muddy river
Honey do you remember? You let the screen door slam when you stepped off the front porch Hear ya mama calling don't be late And I'd hear ya daddy holler son she's my only daughter You stick your nose in the honeysuckle down by the gate I can still hear ya mama calling don't go near the water We fell right in way over our heads But we didn't go near the water A love ran deep so young and sweet And the nights got hotter and hotter We're sure enough gettin' our feet wet mama But we didn't go near the water We hear a rockin' chair squeekin' as we sneaked up the back stairs Mama waitin like a grizzly bear We had to get the honeysuckle out of your hair But in the morning light you'd look her right in the eye You wouldn't lie We didn't go near the water We fell right in way over our heads But we didn't go near the water A love ran deep so young and sweet And the nights got hotter and hotter We're sure enough gettin' our feet wet mama But we didn't go near the water Your mama used to worry about that big muddy river She should've worried about me Cause we were sure enough gettin' our feet wet mama But we didn't go near the water We didn't go near the water Didn't go near the water Yeah |

Hey mister, what time does the next bus leave
I'm a party of one out of Tennessee I won't be back for a long, long while Give you eighty-five dollars to the highway mile I ain't got no luggage as you can see Just a whole lot of heavy memories I was finally up for just a-settling down When I found out she'd been a-fooling around (Chorus): Ah, you can send me north, you can send me south Just don't send me past my house Don't ask me where I'm going, cause I don't care I want a ticket that'll take me anywhere but here A ticket that'll take me anywhere but here Well, I hear it's cold up in Saskatoon But it couldn't be colder than our bedroom The skies are blue down in Alabam' But they won't be any bluer than I am [Chorus] Ah, you can send me north and you can send me south But just don't send me past my house Don't ask me where I'm going, cause I don't care I want a ticket that'll take me anywhere but here A ticket that'll take me anywhere but here |

Cardboard sign says yard sale
Real estate sign says sold Family picnic table holds all that it can hold Holds all that it can hold On the grass and on the sidewalk Well there must be half the town Ain't it funny how a broken home Can bring the prices down (CHORUS) Oh they're sortin through What's left of you and me Paying yard sale prices For each golden memory Oh I never thought I'd ever live to see The way they're sorting through What's left you and me You left two summer dresses In the backyard on the line A lady just brought them to me Says she thinks they'll fit just fine Well there goes the baby's windup And the mirror from the hall I'd better take just one last look Before they take it all CHORUS Well i wonder what you'd say If you could see The way they're sorting through What's left of you and me |

We go out to a party somewhere
The moment we walk in the door People stop and everybody stares She don't know what they're staring for She don't know she's beautiful (never crossed her mind) She don't know she's beautiful (no she's not that kind) She don't know she's beautiful Though time and time I've told her so There she goes just walking down the street And someone lets a whistle out A girl like her she just can't see What the fuss is all about And she don't know she's beautiful (never crossed her mind) She don't know she's beautiful (no she's not that kind) She don't know she's beautiful Though time and time I've told her so Morning comes and her hair's all a mess That's when she thinks she looks her worst It's times like this she don't know why I can't take my eyes off her 'Cause she don't know she's beautiful (never crossed her mind) She don't know she's beautiful (no she's not that kind) She don't know she's beautiful Though time and time I've told her She don't know she's beautiful (never crossed her mind) She don't know she's beautiful (no she's not that kind) She don't know she's beautiful Though time and time I've told her She don't know she's beautiful (never crossed her mind) She don't know she's beautiful (no she's not that kind) She don't know she's beautiful Though time and time I've told her so |

Go down the road called Yesterday
Take a left on a Lost Highway And make a right on Memory Lane Drive until you feel the pain And at the river of tears take one last turn And cross the bridge that just won't burn A run down house is love's graveyard That's where you'll find my haunted heart Well my haunted heart can't rest in peace It's buried with her memory And it's a living hell here after dark All alone with a haunted heart Late at night a slamming door Shadows move across the floor Footsteps fall on silent stairs I hear her call but no one's there Her photograph hangs by the bed A grim reminder love is dead A love I killed just won't depart It's living in my haunted heart Well my haunted heart can't rest in peace It's buried with her memory And it's a living hell here after dark All alone with a haunted heart I said I'm all alone with a haunted heart |

Well I met her out at Murphy's restaurant
She said she was fresh from the farm I remember thinkin' for a country girl She went pretty well armed We sat there talkin' by the lobster tank I ordered her a sloe gin fizz And when them chicken fried steaks arrived She said "I like livin' like this". So I made her? The queen of my double wide trailer With the polyester curtains and the redwood deck Now she's run off and I've gotta trail her Dang her black heart and her pretty red neck A few nights later I run into her With some stranger on a park bench She said 'he rebuilds engines and his name is earl He's the Charlie Daniels of the torque-wrench" I whispered 'Honey let's just go on home Have some onion rings and watch TV" As I walked her to the truck Earl was crying "Don't you leave me" I told him, this here's?.. The queen of my double wide trailer With the polyester curtains and the redwood deck Now she's run off and I've gotta trail her Dang her black heart and her pretty red neck Now bless her little soul, she's not to blame That's just the way her mind is If there's a way to stir trouble up The girl was born to find She's the queen?. The queen of my double wide trailer With the polyester curtains and the redwood deck Now she's run off and I've gotta trail her Dang her black heart and her pretty red neck |

She still answers whenever I call
We talk about work and the weather and all If I mention the past or maybe coming back home It ain't long till I hear that old cold dial tone I still got her number but I can't reach her anymore I can't reach out and touch her heart the way I did before She don't have much to talk about Since my feet did the walking out If she could only see them walk the floor I still got her number but I can't reach her anymore She says her job is hectic but it's beautiful outside She might call in sick tomorrow and just take a drive I said I'd really love to see you can I meet you somewhere And then the conversation fades and long distance fills the air I still got her number but I can't reach her anymore I can't reach out and touch her heart the way I did before She don't have much to talk about Since my feet did the walking out If she could only see them walk the floor I still got her number but I can't reach her I still got her number but I can't reach her anymore I can't reach out and touch her heart the way I did before She don't have much to talk about Since my feet did the walking out If she could only see them walk the floor I still got her number but I can't reach her anymore |

They oughta' run your picture in a magazine
'Cause you're the hardest working woman I've ever seen If we weren't sinkin' in a river of debt I'd say, "Quit that job and let 'em do it theirself" I know we're depending on every dime But I'm tired of you working that overtime I'm gonna tell somebody There ought to be a law against working that way Tell 'em you're taking off this Friday For the National Working Woman's Holiday Honey I can tell you're feeling the strain You deserve a break from that ball and chain If the union won't say it, then it's up to me They're just taking advantage of your loyalty Everybody likes a little time and a half But we both know you're worth more than that I'm gonna tell somebody There ought to be a law against working that way Tell 'em you're taking off this Friday For the National Working Woman's Holiday I'll call in sick And I'll be telling the truth 'Cause I'm sick and tired Of how they're treating you I'm gonna tell somebody There ought to be a law against working that way Tell 'em you're taking off this Friday For the National Working Woman's Holiday I'm gonna tell somebody There ought to be a law against working that way Tell 'em you're taking off this Friday For the National Working Woman's Holiday |

Sittin' in a tiny table in a ritzy restaurant
She was starin' at her coffee cup He was tryin' to keep his courage up By applyin' booze And talk was small when they talked at all They both knew what they wanted There was no need to talk about it They were old enough to scope it out And keep it loose She said, "You don't look like my type But I guess you'll do" Third rate romance Low rent rendezvous And he said, "I'll even tell you that I love you If you want me to" Third rate romance Low rent rendezvous When they left the bar They got in his car And they drove away He drove to the family inn She didn't even have to pretend She didn't know what for And he went to the desk And made his request While she waited outside Then he came back with the key She said, "Give it to me And I'll unlock the door" She kept saying "I've never really done this kind of thing before, have you" Third rate romance Low rent rendezvous And he said, "Yes I have But only a time or two" Third rate romance Low rent redezvous Third rate romance Low rent rendezvous Third rate romance Low rent rendezvous |

I'm a Monday night football, Friday night pool hall guy
I ain't never been one to let a good time pass me by You're standin' there statin' you're tired of waitin' My celebratin's gratin' on you If you feel that way if it'll make you stay Well here's what I'm gonna do If you're gonna walk, I'm gonna crawl You'll see how low a man can go When his back's against the wall I'll be grovelin' in the gravel If you make that taxi call If you're gonna walk, I'm gonna crawl You're a one man pure gold genuine good ol' girl You've been waitin' on me to get tired of my neon world Now the turn you've taken has got me shakin' It's a heart breakin' wake up call Now I'm seein' how you see me And I feel about shoe top tall If you're gonna walk, I'm gonna crawl You'll see how low a man can go When his back's against the wall I'll be grovelin' in the gravel If you make that taxi call If you're gonna walk, I'm gonna crawl ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By BUDDY CANNON, LARRY BASTIAN <i>Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group</i> |

Grease in our hair, hands in our pockets
We stood and stared at cars goin' past We placed our bets, where they were headed And held our cigarettes like movie stars Grandmother's hands hard from the garden She had a plan for me to preach one day She prayed for rain, she watched and she waited And never complained when it did not fall Southbound breezes blowing This town ain't my home You can slow me down, but I'm going If I can turn this road I'm on Southbound Stories I tell, reek of nostalgia And those that know me well, have heard 'em all before How far I've come, mostly I'm proud of But where I'm comin' from is calling me Southbound breezes blowing This town ain't my home You can slow me down, but I'm going If I can turn this road I'm on Southbound You can slow me down, but I'm going If I can turn this road I'm on If I can turn this road I'm on Southbound Southbound breezes blowing This town ain't my home You can slow me down, but I'm going If I can turn this road I'm on Southbound |

Well first I missed my plane
So I wound up on your flight Then we got stuck in Dallas-Ft. Worth Half the night And the only vacant seat You could find at gate twenty-nine Was one next to mine Call it fate Destiny Call it luck you ended up with me But some things are meant to be Coincidence Circumstance Or something bigger that's just out of our hands Oh some things are meant to be You said Atlanta was your home Well I happened to live there too I'd just broken up with someone and so had you And when you said for everyone There is someone they're meant to find I knew I'd found mine Call it fate Destiny Call it luck you ended up with me But some things are meant to be Coincidence Circumstance Or something bigger that's just out of our hands Oh some things are meant to be Coincidence Circumstance Or something bigger that's just out of our hands Oh some things are meant to be Baby some things are meant to be |

Ain't nothin' so precious as a first born child
What to call their little angel They wondered for awhile Your dear mama Violet And your proud daddy Dale I know when they named ya They surely meant well (but) Vidalia, Vidalia Girl won't you tell me why Sweet Vidalia You always gotta make me cry Never paid no attention to a girl before Till the day I saw you standin' In the Sunday school door One boy sorta snickered when the roll was read Till you laid the word of God Up side his head Vidalia, Vidalia Girl won't you tell me why Sweet Vidalia You always gotta make me cry When I try to get too close Seems like we've always been almost Just one step or two away from true love I love the way you walk, I love the way you kiss I love to get away with you, alone like this If I could just mention just one little thing Vidalia, would ya stop livin' up to your name Vidalia, Vidalia Girl won't you tell me why Sweet Vidalia You always gotta make me cry |

This ain't hoops, this ain't hopscotch
And this ain't dodge ball in the sandlot And this ain't cards It's our hearts we're dealing with now No more games for me girl I'm fit to be tied down I've lost at love, got some bruises But the heart that don't give up Never really loses Since I met you It don't make sense to keep on playing around Anyone can see you've got me Fit to be tied down Tie me down, wrap me up in forever I've found something sweet in surrendering now Take me off this merry go round Going round in circles has got me nowhere But a love like yours is really so rare And I'm amazed at the treasure I've finally found I'm on bended knee 'Cause I'm fit to be tied down Tie me down, wrap me up in forever I've found something sweet in surrendering now Take me off this merry go round This ain't hoops, this ain't hopscotch And this ain't dodge ball in the sandlot And this ain't cards It's our hearts we're dealing with now No more games for me girl I'm fit to be tied down No more games for me girl I'm fit to be tied down |

You are the love of my life
And you are the reason I'm alive And baby baby baby When I think of how you saved me I go crazy I've never known love like this And it fills me with a new tenderness And I know I know I know You're in my heart you're in my soul You're all I can't resist And I need to tell you The first time I held you I knew you are the love of my life I spent a lifetime waiting Always hesitating until you I was lost so deep inside my shell 'Til you came and saved me from myself Now all I really know Is I need you And you are the love of my life All the joy and tears that I cry And baby baby baby You don't have to say a word I see it in your eyes As we stand together I promise forever 'Til the day that I die You are the love of my life I spent a lifetime waiting Always hesitating until you I was lost so deep inside my shell 'Til you came and saved me from myself Now all I really know Is I need you You are the love of my life You are the reason I'm alive |

We met at the broken spoke restaurant and lounge
I lit your cigarette and then you wrote your number down On the inside of a matchbook that was laying on the bar And a fire started burning somewhere in my heart I didn't see it coming, guess I didn't read the signs I just never thought you'd leave me after all this time But today when I came home my key was hollow in the door And there was nothing but a worn out book of matches on the floor You took the bed You took the dishes and the car You broke my trust You took advantage of my heart You left me here With empty rooms and walls with holes and scars and scratches If I find the strength to burn you memories down At least you left the matches The color's old and faded the cover's worn and stained But i can still make out the numbers and the heart beside your name Until tonight they'd only lit a single cigarette Now one by one I'm striking them to help me to forget And everybody at the broken spoke All thought my crazy story was a joke Now they're out there in the parking lot Staring at the smoke You took the bed You took the dishes and the car You broke my trust You took advantage of my heart You left me here With empty rooms and walls with holes and scars and scratches And the hurt I need to burn those memories down At least you left the matches Baby all that's left of our love now is ashes Thank God you left the matches |

Well the day it ends when the sun comes up
And it starts when the sun goes down Out on the backroads and on the back streets Of every farm and factory town There in the world of weekly wage There's always a place out there And the names and the faces are the same everywhere Well the room is full it's a Friday night We all want to hear Louie Louie Been a long hard day and a long hard life And this is how we make it through it It's a blue collar place a red blooded crowd Tonight everything's all right In honky tonk America There's a flashing sign on a rain soaked street That lights up just about dark A welcome beacon on life's highway When your weary and when you lost heart Never say its loneliness It's only the drinks and the band But something brings us back here again and again Well the room is full it's a Friday night We all want to hear Proud Mary Been a long hard day and a long hard life We all got our crosses to carry It's a blue collar place a red blooded crowd Tonight everything's all right In honky tonk America Well talk about freedom alright but maybe some other time Tonight everyone's feeling fine Well the room is full it's a Friday night We all want to hear Wolly Bully Been a long hard day and a long hard life Monday morning well all do our duty It's a blue collar place a red blooded crowd Tonight everything's all right In honky tonk America Honky tonk America Honky tonk America Honky tonk America Honky tonk America |

I rolled out of bed, grabbed a cup of caffeine this morning
Walked out the door, didn't even kiss you goodbye Hurrying to work, a car pulled out, no warnin' In an instant it all flashed before my eyes Chorus: And I'm gonna live the rest of my life Like I got one day left to live One night left to love you Startin' right now I'm starting all over Doin' what I should do Should this be my last, or I've got a hundred years From this day on I'm gonna live my life Like I got one day left to live What a close call Could of been all she wrote me Think I'll turn this car around and head back home There's a lesson to be learned in this, it showed me Take nothing for granted, in a second it can be all gone Chorus But. One night left to love you Startin' right now I'm starting all over Doin' what I should do Should this be my last, or I've got a hundred years From this day on I'm gonna live my life Like I got one day left to live |

When you love someone
Really love someone You'd walk through fire to see her smile To be the father of her child What you wouldn't do 'Cause when you love someone Your heart just comes undone I'll never love again it's true The way that I love you Maybe it's just the sound of your voice When you say hello Or just the way you close your eyes When I hold you close There are so many reasons You're all I taste, I touch, I breathe in 'Cause when you love someone Really love someone You'd walk through fire to see her smile To be the father of her child What you wouldn't do When you love someone Your heart and soul are one I'll never love again it's true The way that I love you Sometimes I'm moved to tears 'Cause girl I just can't believe I found the person I've searched for Seems like eternity When I look into your blue-green eyes I see my future and I realize That's it's paradise 'Cause when you love someone Really love someone You'd walk through fire to see her smile To be the father of her child What you wouldn't do 'Cause when you love someone Your heart and soul are one I'll never love again it's true The way that I love you I'll never love again it's true The way that I love you |

I used to kiss Maxine through the front door screen
Standin' on her mama's steps And if her daddy hadn't come along and run me off I know I'd have never left It's a cryin' shame but that's they way it was Something always there to separate us Well I tried not to let it show But everyone seemed to know There's something between Me and Maxine She used to wave at me from across the street Through her bedroom window every night She was almost close enough for me to touch But I still couldn't hold her tight That's how it's been right from the start Always something there to keep us apart Well I tried not to let it show But everyone seemed to know There's something between Me and Maxine There's something between Me and Maxine All the things that came between us Couldn't change a thing Now we're together And that's how we're gonna stay 'Cause our love just grows A little more with every day No I'm never gonna let her go 'Cause in my heart I know There's something between Oh I just want to hold her close 'Cause in my heart I know There's something between There's something between There's something between Me and Maxine Me and Maxine I know I know there's somethin' Somethin' between I know I know there's somethin' Somethin' between Me and Maxine Somethin' between Me and Maxine |
