George Strait - Troubadour (2008) by George Strait (보컬) on maniadb.com

I still feel 25, most of the time.
I still raise a little cain with the boys.
Honky tonks and pretty women.
Lord I'm still right there with them.
Singing above the crowd and the noise.

Sometimes I feel like Jesse James,
Still trying to make a name.
Knowing nothing's gonna change what I am.
I was a young troubadour, when I rode in on a song.
And I'll be an old troubadour, when I'm gone.

Well, The truth about a mirror, It's that a damned old mirror,
Don't really tell the whole truth.
It don't show what's deep inside, or read between the lines,
it's really no reflection of my youth.

Sometimes I feel like Jesse James,
Still trying to make a name.
Knowing nothing's gonna change what I am.
I was a young troubadour, when I rode in on a song.
And I'll be an old troubadour, when I'm gone.

I was a young troubadour, when I rode in on a song.
I'll be an old troubadour, when I'm gone.
I'll be an old troubadour, when I'm gone.

The first time I met her,
she walked right up to me.
And said, "You're who I wanted to find."
There was a man she had seen in her dreams.
And it was me.

She said, "I can't believe it.
'Cause I've never been in here,
And I've passed this place so many times."
It was her night to find destiny,
And it was me.

And we danced every song that they played,
and talked until closing time.
The closer I held her,
The more I knew her destiny.
Wasn't that far from mine.

Than I saw a reflection of someone unfamiliar.
Looking back when I looked in her eyes.
The happiest man I'd ever seen,
And it was me.

And we danced every song that they played,
and talked until closing time.
The closer I held her,
The more I knew her destiny.
Wasn't that far from mine.

She wasn't looking,
and I wasn't looking.
Ain't it funny?
That's when love was found.
She still calls it her lucky night,
Yeah, someone was lucky.
she's right,
but it was me.
It was me.

Diamonds on the windshield,as heaven starts to cry.
In his rearview mirror, his angel waves goodbye.
She knows he's got to go, she knows he's one of them.

Brothers of the highway, children of the wind.
That detroit diesel pirate ship goes rollin' out again,
Sailin for that settin' sun, freedom's your best friend.
Brothers of the highway, children of the wind.

He puts the pedel to the metal,trying to outta run the rain,
Another shot of truck stop coffee, goes runnin through his vains,
This country turns on eighteen wheels, thank god we can depend, on

Brothers of the highway, children of the win.
That detroit diesel pirate ship goes rollin' out again,
Sailin for that settin' sun, freedom's your best friend.
Brothers of the highway, children of the wind.

Carolina west to Denver,
Baton Rouge east to Pittsburg,
Portland south to San Diego,
Sail on sail on,
Tallahassy north to Boston,
Up to Bangor west to Austin,
Coast to coast,sea to sea,
Sail on sail on,

You brothers of the highway, children of the wind,
That detroit diesel pirate ship goes rollin' out again,
Sailin for that settin sun, freedom's your best friend,
Brothers of the highway, children of the wind.

Hey baby, won't you take a little ride with me
Have a look around
See what we can see
I've got the paddle
I've got the boat
Come on baby, I know she'll float

We'll go rowing on the river of love
Let's go rowing on the river of love

Drift away from all these city lights
Might rock a little bit
So hold on tight
Let's get carried away with the gentle flow
Might get caught up in it's undertow

We'll go rowing on the river of love
Let's go rowing on the river of love

I got a little ukulele, let me sing you a song
Got a stream of kisses about ten miles long
Dancing on the water in the moonlight beach
Sparkling down through the sea of dreams

We'll go rowing on the river of love
Let's go rowing on the river of love

We'll go rowing on the river of love
Let's go rowing on the river of love

River of love, River of love, River of love
Rowing on the river of love
Let's go rowing, rowing on the river of love
Let's go rowing on the river of love
Rowing on the river of love
Rowing on the river of love
Let's go rowing, rowing on the river of love

Well the house of cash just burned down,
All the way to the cold hard ground,
The Doctors came from all over town,
To see the memories scattered all around.
Then the stars came out by the light of day.
And they heard their old friend passed away.
That Yard looked like a funeral hall.
Without the pies and casseroles

Well, it's goodbye Johnny, goodbye June,
And goodbye fancy livin' room
Well no one sleeps in Cash's bed
Except the man in black and the woman he wed

And the ring of fire comes full circle
And the ring of fire comes all the way 'round
And the ring of fire comes full circle
And the ring of fire comes all the way 'round

Man if those ashes in the pool could talk,
To the anchorman out on the walk

I just walked down the street to the coffee shop
had to take a break
I'd been by her side for eighteen hours straight
I saw a flower growing in the middle of the sidewalk
pushing up through the concrete
like it was planted right there for me to see
the flashin' lights, the honkin' horns
all seemed to fade away
in the shadow of that hospital at 5:08
I saw God today

I've been to church
I've read the book
I know he's here, but I don't look
near as often as I should
Yeah, I know I should
His fingerprints are everywhere
I'd just slow down to stop and stare
opened my eyes and man I swear
I saw God today

I saw a couple walking by they were holding hands
Man, she had that glow
yeah I couldn't help but notice she was starting to show
it stood there for a minute takin' the sky
lost in that sunset
a splash of amber melted in the shades of red

I've been to church
I've read the book
I know he's here, but I don't look
near as often as I should
Yeah, I know I should
His fingerprints are everywhere
I'd just slow down to stop and stare
opened my eyes and man I swear
I saw God today

I got my face pressed up against the nursery glass
She's sleeping like a rock
My name on her wrist wearing tiny pink socks
She's got my nose, she's got her mama's eyes
My brand new baby girl
She's a miracle
I saw God today

A banker and a farmer discuss the bottom line
It ain't rained and all the crops are dying vine
Give me more time
You gotta give me more time

That farm has been in my family going on a hundred years
We pulled through hard times before with blood, sweat and tears
Give me more time
I need more time

O what would he give for a little more time?

Two lovers at a table, candle, light and wine
One's looking for an answer, the other one can't find
Give me more time
You gotta give me more time

She says you know I love you, but my heart's in a bind
afraid you're gonna leave me if I don't amke up my mind
Give me more time
I gotta have more time

Some have barely any, some too much on their hands
Some would give anything to have it back again

The patient and his doctor meet behind closed doors
You're kiddin' me, how could this be? I'm only twenty-four
Give me more time
You gotta give me more time

Don't go in the summertime
It's too hot, and the rooms are high
But if you go in the fall you'll have a ball
There's so much to see and do
When you're in love

There's an old hotel right on the beach
Romantic rooms you won't want to leave
But take my word take a stroll into town
There's so much, to see and do
When you're in love

Don't miss Jamaica Joe's you can dine Al fresco
Then dance in the street 'til the sun comes up
You can take a barefoot cruise
Share a moonlight made for two
There's so little time and so much, to see and do
When you're in love

Be sure and take, lots of pictures when you're there
Be sure and make, lots of memories trust me

Don't go in the summertime
It's too hot and the rooms are high
But if you go in the fall you'll have a ball
There's so much, to see and do
When you're in love

There's so much to see and do

Play me a Dancer, a Holder-Hander, or Honky-Tonker,
Pull-Her-Up-Closer,Slow Romancer,
Make her fall in love with me song.

The room is Swimmin with perty women,
But how's a fella supposed to get close to 'em?
The band is rockin, the joint is jumpin,
Mr. Guitar Man let me tell you somethin.

Play me a Dancer, a Holder-Hander, or Honky-Tonker,
Pull-Her-Up-Closer,Slow Romancer,
Make her fall in love with me song.

I see a redhead, I see a brunnette,
And there's a blonde I love I don't even know yet.
I'm going crazy, you got to save me.
I need a hugger and I don't mean maybe.

Play me a Dancer, a Holder-Hander, or Honky-Tonker,
Pull-Her-Up-Closer,Slow Romancer,
Make her fall in love with me song.


Play me a Dancer, a Holder-Hander, or Honky-Tonker,
Pull-Her-Up-Closer, Get-Next-to-Her,Sweet-Enough-to-Kiss-Her,
Just-a-Little-Softer-So-She-Can-Hear-Me-Whisper, Slow Romancer,
Make her fall in love with me song.

I'm on my way to Amarillo
I can't seem to get my fill of that
Little west Texas Town
I've got a sweet thing built, right Betty
Head to toe, shes mighty pretty
Living in that west Texas town

Friday comes, it's time to roll
Time for me to hit the road
I've got my eyes on the horizon
My little dish in that panhandle
Lights up like a Roman Candle
When I reach that west Texas town
Ah, sing it Dean

From Big Spring all the way to Plainview
I can't wait to get to you know who
In that west Tesas town
I drive through hell and half of Texas
Just to get to her by breakfast
Waiting in the west Texas town

Friday comes, it's time to roll
Time for me to hit the road
I've got my eyes on the horizon
My little dish in that panhandle
Lights up like a Roman Candle
When I reach that west Texas town
Ah, sing it Dean

Baby, turn the porch light on
Your big Poppa's coming home
To that west Texas town
Awwww...

I was there in my trailer,
Down at the job site
The day that this stranger walked in
His face looked so sad, and he carried a set of blueprints
And as I unrolled them, the first thing I noticed
Was there were no doors in the plans
He said if you build this for me
Then when she comes back
She'll never be able to leave me again

I said if I did
And she ever came back
Friend, tell me how would she get in
It would just be a prison that I locked you in
If you couldn't leave
You'd never know if there was someone to love you
The way that she didn't before
There's two things that I know for sure
It's that you can't make a women feel something she don't
And you can't build a house with no doors

O'while he was quiet, I could tell he was thinking
I thought I just ruined his day
I just couldn't bear to see this man's last hope slip away
So I thought real fast, and I started talking
Said Buddy we tried this before,
And if there ain't one, she'll make one
Either way she'll run
And leave you a house with a hole for a door

I said if I did
And she ever came back
Friend, tell me how would she get in
It would just be a prison that I locked you in
If you couldn't leave
You'd never know if there was someone to love you
The way that she didn't before
If there's two things that I know for sure
It's that you can't make a women feel something she don't
And you can't build a house with no doors

No, you can't make a women feel something she don't
And you can't build a house with no doors'

Been in the saddle since the sun came up
Rounding up strays in, this ol' West Texas dust
She's been packing her things since I put coffee on
By sundown, she'll be gone

Damn this ol' girth, worn right in two
But a spare length of leather, and I'll make it do
Just when I think I've got life by the reins,
Home ain't sweet home on the range

If heartaches were horses and hard times were cattle
I'd ride home at sunset, sitting tall in the saddle
If heartaches were horses and hard time were cattle

And she'd say she loved me and this cowboy way of life
She'd be right beside me when we rode home tonight

If heartaches were horses and hard times were cattle
I'd ride home at sunset, sitting tall in the saddle
