In a pair of faded coveralls and her mama's old high heels
She wobbles up and takes a shaky bow She smiles a little smile that hides her missing baby tooth And she manages to sing that way some how Why she starts with 'Delta dawn' and goes into 'Amazing grace' Then squints her eyes and sings 'I fought the law' And when the wind comes sweeping in and ripples through the corn To her it sounds exactly like applause She's just singing to the scarecrow, dancing through the fields With a kitten and bo-jingles in her arms Trying to let the whole world know how wonderful it feels To be here on this South Kentucky Farm Singing to the scarecrow She looks his patchwork eyes and looks into his heart And tries to find a song to ease his pain And she sings 'Faded love' until the sunny sky grows dark And his tears are falling in the somber rain And she's singing to the scarecrow, dancing through the fields With a kitten and bo-jingles in her arms Trying to let the whole world know how wonderful it feels To be here on this South Kentucky Farm Singing to the scarecrow Well, now that little girl is grown, she's in a band out on the road She left those Green Kentucky fields behind But she sings herself back home when she's at the microphone And she smiles that funny smile and shuts her yes Yeah, she's still singing to the scarecrow Trying to let the whole world know how wonderful it feels To be here on this South Kentucky Farm Singing to the scarecrow Singing to the scarecrow Hey yeah ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By LINDE, DENNIS <i>Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing</i> |

Well he wore my name in a tatoo on his arm,
And in a tender voice he said he'd wait for me, Yeah you're dreams are bigger than some red dirt farms, But the grass on the other side aint always green. Then, I, said good bye, and on those silver wings he let me fly, Well I gave him a kiss but I would not give my heart, To a small town boy, Heaven forbid that I'd ever miss the arms, Of a small town boy. Now the south bound wheels on this gray hound bus, Can't carry me home fast enough, Well I got off track now I gotta win back the love, Of a small town boy. Has he found a warmer touch or a pretty face? Does he lay with her down where the lilacs grow? Oh those city boys could never take his place, Will I find the humble words to tell him so? Can, I, turn back time? Does a fool deserve the right to change her mind? Well I gave him a kiss but I would not give my heart, To a small town boy, Heaven forbid that I'd ever miss the arms, Of a small town boy. Now the south bound wheels on this gray hound bus, Can't carry me home fast enough, Well I got off track now I gotta win back the love, Of a small town boy. I miss the little things, Like the summer heat, the fire flies, dancein slow on a stary night, When I was the apple of his eye. Let me still be the apple of his eye, Well I got off track now I gotta win back the love, Well I got off track wont you help me win back the love, Of a small town boy. Small town boy, Small town boy, Small town boy. |

The rain has stopped fallin', there's a hush in the air
You can feel the night holding its breath We've stripped our defenses, our souls are laid bare Let's put our fears to the test Come to me now with a love unafraid Lay your heart down and stay Leave the window open, don't pull the shades Let the morning sun show we've made, love unafraid The moonlight is chasin', the shadows away We got no more secrets to hide So don't fight this feeling, don't be ashamed Of the need we've been keepin' inside Come to me now with a love unafraid Lay your heart down and stay Leave the window open, don't pull the shades Let the morning sun show we've made, love unafraid Make no promises, tell no lies And don't close your eyes Come to me now with a love unafraid Lay your heart down and stay Leave the window open, don't pull the shades Let the morning sun show we've made, love unafraid Let the morning sun show we've made, love unafraid, ooh |

Hello Friend I don't know where you're bound But welcome to the incredible shrinking town Before too long you'll be the latest rumor going 'round They'll all smile and wave, they'll all know your name Yeah, it's not about what you do, it's all bout who you know So step right up and take a shot at the status quo Oh and let me introduce you to some good God-fearin' folk Hear the Church bells ring, listen to the choir sing White fences, peach pie Air kisses, wishing you well So sweet So nice But if you get a secret You better not tell Street corners, back yards Good Fiction is better than fact They're masters of the art Of "bless your heart" with a knife in your back This town is that small So help your self to some hospitality Make your peace with your brand new scaled down dreams You might think you're free to go, but you'll never leave So find yourself some shade and pour some lemonade White fences, peach pie Air kisses, wishing you well So sweet So nice But if you get a secret You better not tell Street corners, back yards Good Fiction is better than fact They're masters of the art Of "bless your heart" with a knife in your back This town is that small They love to build you up just to knock you down Cause this town.. this town.. White fences, peach pie Air kisses, wishing you well So sweet So nice But if you get a secret You better not tell Street corners, back yards Good Fiction is better than fact They're masters of the art Of "bless your heart" with a knife in your back This town is that small |

See our picture on the wall
Why were we smiling, I just can't seem to recall Remind me Do you see this wedding band Wasn't it once worth more than just gold on my hand Remind me Chorus: I don't care who's right or wrong But my memory of love is almost gone Won't you take me in your arms And remind me You criticize and accuse Oh, but honey you've had amnesia too Kiss me like you used to do And remind me It's a short walk to that door But didn't we have something good that's still worth fighting for Remind me (chorus) (bridge) How did we end up this way Me against you In love one is never to blame It always takes two Do you remember, my dear The first time we made love, come over here And let me remind you. |

Hello God, it's me again, two a.m., room 304
Visitin' hours are over, time for our bedside tug 'o war The sleepin' child between us may not make it through the night I'm fightin' back the tears as she fights for her life Well, it must be kinda crowded on the streets of Heaven So tell me what do you need her for? Don't you know one day she'll be your little girl forever? But right now, I need her so much more She's much to young to be on her own Barely just turned seven So who will hold her hand When she crosses the streets of Heaven? Tell me God, do you remember, the wishes that she made? As she blew out the candles on her last birthday cake She wants to ride a pony when she's big enough She wants to marry her daddy when she's all grown up Well, it must be kinda crowded on the streets of Heaven So tell me what do you need her for? Don't you know one day she'll be your little girl forever? But right now, I need her so much more She's much to young to be on her own Barely just turned seven So who will hold her hand When she crosses the streets of Heaven? Lord, don't you know, she's my angel? You've got plenty of your own And I know you hold a place for her But she's already got a home Well, I don't know if you're listenin' But prayin's all that's left to do So I ask you Lord, have mercy You lost a son once too And it must be kinda crowded on the streets of Heaven So tell me what do you need her for? Don't you know one day she'll be your little girl forever? But right now, I need her so much more Lord, I know once you've made up your mind There's no use in beggin' So if you take her with you today Will you make sure she looks both ways? And will you hold her hand When she crosses the streets of Heaven? The streets of Heaven |
