A young man drivin' down a dusty road
Like he's got somewhere to go Driving like he's got a destination Like he's got somewhere to go in that beat up ford See there was a time when he was a young lost soul He was chasin' butterflies and rainbows Until one day when he found his pot of gold In the words of the young man he turned old And the old man said [Chorus] You gotta have a good imagination If your gonna live the life of old He said you've got to drive that Ford like its a stallion And you've got to wear your heart just like a gun The old man said, the old man said The boy walked out with a new found hero Yea the boy well he walked away a man And he said to himself that dusty day way down in Texas Well I'm never gonna walk this path again And the old man said [Chorus] The boy walked out he was dreaming of wild times When old cowboys and broke down cattle lines Now those fields are all but gone But his heart's still free and he rides on The old man said, the old man said, the old man said, the old man said |

No one can make me stammer and stutter
Fall over every word that I utter No one else can talk me to takin' another view No one else can make my heart flutter like you No one drives me to exasperation Nobody gives my heart palpitations Except for you, it's no exaggeration, it's true No one else can make my heart flutter like you No one else can make my heart flutter There's a hole over me and it's gettin' no cover ??????Till you tell me you'll be my lover And you're convinced we were made for one another You are the one and there ain't no other No one else can peak my desire No one else makes me a spinnin' tire Turnin' and churnin' and burnin' on fire for you No one else can make my heart flutter like you No one else can make my heart flutter There's a hole over me and it's gettin' no cover ??????Till you tell me you'll be my lover And you're convinced we were made for one another You are the one and there ain't no other No one else can peak my desire No one else makes me a spinnin' tire Turnin' and churnin' and burnin' on fire for you No one else can make my heart flutter like you No one else can make my heart flutter like you Flutter like you Flutter like you Flutter Like you Flutter like you Flutter like you |

Old man comes out of the rain
His heart's as heavy as night There was a time he was soldier boy He forgot the times before the war There was a girl he could have called his wife But he let her slip right through his hands He plays guitar on the corner some Not enough to be a star But it's enough just to have some fun And make some people happy awhile Searching for a sight unseen For what his father has not been He's searching for a feeling he calls home Went to church to pray for a sign Throw me a rope, Lord, throw me a line So I can hang on or I can climb I don't really care I just want to find my own way Sing the songs that my guitar plays Make a child smile, make a daddy cry Make my mama sing a lullaby I'm searching for a sight unseen For what my father has not been I'm searching for a feeling I call home. |

Livin' beyond my means, don't know how I'm gonna get by
Livin' beyond my means, don't ya know a man's got to try Don't know how it started, all I know is it's got to end I've got a noose around my neck and I don't know why I followed you to Detroit City then down to New Orleans Trail after trail with nothing but a bottle of too old gin Don't know where you lead me all I know is I've got to go Gotta find you babe, before I'm too old [Chorus] Livin' beyond my means With all these loving you things Don't know how I'll get by Lord help me try Do you remember that night in Dallas when you stole my heart I didn't put up a fight baby just to find me one more start Now it's taken me out of my home and put me out on the street This loving you thing has got me beat [Chorus] I called your name in Boston where I thought that you might be On my way back to Texas I took a long look down in Tennessee This wild turkey chase, well it's got the best of me I guess it's best to quit when you're behind [Chorus: x2] |

Sitting up late at night in bed and I think of you
All alone, wide awake, I don't know what to do So I reach for the phone and There's your voice coming my way Once again I'm all choked up, I don't know what to say [Chorus] Wanna tell you I love you, wanna tell you I care Wanna tell you baby I'm right here Wanna tell you I'm crying, wanna tell you I'm smiling Wanna tell you everything I feel But you don't come around me no more Why don't you come knockin' down my door no more You don't look at me on the street You don't smile when you pass by If you don't turn around soon You're gonna make this big man, big man cry [Chorus] I know that things get cloudy when the sun goes down And I know that cities wash away with the rain And I know that you and I are not the ones to say goodbye I know, no I think, no I think I know, tomorrow's another day I'm sittin' on my soul writing a tale of love gone bad But all I can think of are times when You make me happy, you make me glad I want to wake up, turn around and walk Turn around and walk out clean I know that things get cloudy when the sun goes down And I know that cities wash away with the rain And I know that you and I are not the ones to say goodbye I know, no I think, no I think I know, tomorrow's another day And I know, no I think, no I think I know, tomorrow's another day. |

My words they may sound familiar
Like ones you may have heard before But when I tried to write you a love song I simply could think of nothing more I love you, I want you and I need you I’d love to have you by my side I love you, I want you and I need you Your love gives my soul a place to hide I’ve thought of different ways to tell you Words however come up short Of the way I really feel about you Of the way you’re always on my mind How can I say it any different The words they all mean the same I love you, I want you and I need you A rose is still a rose by another name The words of those who’ve come before me May have sparkled on the page and made you high All I know is the thought of life without you Is enough to make the strongest man cry Amy when I speak to you please listen Smile, laugh or cry but don’t walk away I love you, I want you and I need you Please tell me that you feel the same My words they may sound familiar Like ones you may have heard before But never were they said with such conviction I know they will ring true forever more |

Weathered sign on the marquee
An old film playing at the show He could tell by the clouds up top And old northern was about to blow So he hopped in his pick-up truck Steered it on down the road There he picked up his dark-haired beauty Drove on down nice and slow, singing This is my girl This is my world This is my girl This is my world A lovers' tune on the stereo Cool breeze blowin' through her hair He whispers to her soft and low And quietly she stares He says I know I could be a movie star I know that you could be my wife I was thinking at work today I wanna leave with you tonight, because You are my girl You are my world You are my girl (You are my girl) You are my world They drive on past midnight Wishing on stars as they go Two young believers Too young to know Like a man in a story book He takes off down the open road Taking off to God knows where He's taking off just to go Singing, this is my girl This is my world This is my girl This is my world (This is my world) This is my girl (This is my girl) This is my world (This is my world) This is my girl (This is my girl) This is my world |

I may not be old and broken down
My face may not be sad like a clown I may not be dreaming of yesterday But babe, I still got scars My days may not be numbered few I might have dog, I might have two I might have lots of things to do But babe, I still got scars I might have change to go around And I might have both feet planted on the ground I might have music to keep me sound But babe, I still got scars I'm not saying life is bad No I would not go that far All I'm saying is don't envy me 'Cuz babe, I still got scars I might have change to go around And I might have both feet planted on the ground I might have music to keep me sound But babe, I still got scars I might have change to go around And I might have both feet planted on the ground I might have music to keep me sound But babe, I still got scars And they're as deep as yours. |

There was a time
There was a place It was your name It was your face Well, I was sixteen I thought I knew the plan You were my girl And I was your man Late nights on the phone Late nights in my car Late nights chasing you Wherever you were Maybe those were the days And those were my nights I've left them so far So dim those lights And even when I dream at night I cannot see your face Well, I close my eyes and softly say Those were my younger days Friday nights at the park Pep rallies at schools You cheering for me Me playin' for you Sometimes I look back But I really can't see That girl that I loved My young sweet Marie And even when I dream at night I cannot see your face Well, I close my eyes and softly say Those were my younger days Yeah, even when I dream at night I cannot see your face Well, I close my eyes and softly say Those were my younger days Those were my younger days. |

Another Tuesday night
In the rain Another day gone by They look all the same I wake up in the morning It's another day Put a dress for you to see And I'll turn the other way While the rain keeps falling Blue birds won't fly But the tears will fall and the wind will blow And I'll keep asking why I can't find an answer Or another way To understand the debt that I owe That I continue to pay So I'll tell you I don't love you And I'll tell you I don't care And I'll tell you I don't need you And I hope you're not standing there And I'll tell you all those things And I'll make 'em sound sincere 'Cuz all I really want Is to have you near All the good books tell me All the good books say Pick yourself off the ground boy It's another day I look at them and wonder I wonder if they knew How it is to love someone Who's not in love with you So I'll tell you that I love you And I'll tell you that I care And I'll tell you that I need you And I hope you're standing there And I'll say all those things And I'll make 'em sound sincere 'Cuz all I really want Is to have you near So I'll tell you that I love you And I'll tell you that I care And I'll tell you that I need you And I hope you're standing there And I'll say all those things And I'll know that they're sincere 'Cuz all I really want Is to have you near. ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By JACK INGRAM <i>Lyrics © BUG MUSIC</i> |

Billy lights a cigarette
Thinkin' that it might do him some good Tammy comes over and sits right down beside him 'Cause she thinks, she should They don't know what they're gettin' into Did you think they would? Billy's just another boy He's from the other side of the tracks He's got his eye on a pretty little girl But he's not so sure that she will lay down Will she put up a fight like all the rest In this worn-out One Light Town? One Light Town Tammy looks at Billy and says "Hey darlin', you're my sweet" Well Billy, he's actin' cool So he smirks a soft one and says "Darlin' that's real neat" I think I'll go down town and buy me a beer And drink myself into next week Billy rolls a crooked one Yeah, he's gonna smoke it and see where he can go He's gonna lie out in an open field And he don't give a damn About the rain, the sleet or the snow He's gonna leave this town behind him Where he lands, baby, nobody knows Nobody cares, nobody gives a damn About that little boy down in Texas Well, the wind's gonna start to rumble And those tumble weeds are going to roll Well, that's when we're gonna catch the next train to Boulder We're gonna get out and take a long look around Gonna dream about my buddy Gonna dream about my friend Gonna dream about ol' Billy Way down there, stuck down there That One Light Town One Light Town One Light Town Light that cigarette Here she comes Take a one light train |
