Blue Kentucky highway, headin' for the line
She hadn't said a word all night, But the wheels are turnin' in her mind Now I was ridin' shotgun, And I knew things had gone awry Just as soon as she dropped me off At the side of the road And she let that gravel fly CHORUS Now I'm walkin' in the moonlight, Seein' nothin' but the taillights And that's a pair of taillights I may never see again She hit me with the left and right, Showin' me nothin' but the taillights And that's about as lonely As the highway's ever been Back here with my thumb out in the wind Was it somethin' that I did to her, Or the things I never said I wonder if the way we were was only in my head Now if I even make it back to town Before the sun comes up I'm gonna hit every parking spot around 'Til I find that pick-up truck CHORUS Now I'm talkin' in the moonlight Seein' nothin' but the taillights And that's a pair of taillights I may never see again She hit me with the left and right Showin' me nothin' but the taillights And that's about as lonely As a highway's ever been Stuck here with my thumb out in the wind Well I'll bet right now she's laughin' At how she brought me to my knees But she won't be laughin' half as loud When she gives me back my keys CHORUS She'll be walkin' in the moonlight, Seein' nothin' but the taillights And that's a pair of taillights She won't ever see again She hit me with a left and right And with nothin' but the taillights And I know that's about as lonely As a highway's ever been Back here with my thumb out in the wind There she goes, here I come |

You were the first thing that I thought of
When I thought I drank you off my mind When I get lost in the liquor You're the only one I find And if I did the things I oughta You still would not be mine So I'll keep a tight grip on the bottle Gettin' loose and killin' time [Chorus:] This killin' time is killin' me Drinking myself blind thinkin' I won't see That if I cross that line and they bury me I just might find I'll be killin' time for eternity I don't know nothin' 'bout tomorrow I've been lost in yesterday I've spent all my life just dying For a love that passed away And if there's an end to all my sorrow And this is the only price I'll pay I'll be a happy man when I go And I can't wait another day [Chorus] |

Well I sit here all alone
No one's gonna do me wrong tonight It seems I've been through it all And there's no one I could call to get it right And everywhere I go Everyone seems so settled in And sure of where they're going Well I don't know what I need Since I've been freed I'm a horse without a rider And there's no one left to take the lead I've been loving blind Loving every heart I could call mine I've been loving blind So sure there was something I could find But I just couldn't see There was nothing there for me Now there's a smile on my face No there's no trace of the pain I know I've been through it all And I know those tears won't fall again But oh the times I thought Someone's heart I'd caught Well, I was fooled oh and I regret I was so naive Oh and I'd believe them when they'd tell me That's as good as love can get And I've been loving blind Loving every heart I could call mine And I've been loving blind So sure there was something I could find But I just couldn't see There was nothin' there for me |

I never liked the rain until I walked through it with you
Every thunder cloud that came was one more I might not get through On the darkest day there's always light and now I see it too But I never liked the rain until I walked through it with you I hear it falling in the night and filling up my mind All the heaven's rivers come to light and I see it all unwind I hear it talking through the trees and on the window pane And when I hear it I just can't believe I never liked the rain Like the rain I have fallen for you and I know just why you Liked the rain always calling for you I'm falling for you now Just like the rain When the cloud is rolling over thunder striking me It's as bright as lightning and I wonder why I couldn't see That it's always good and when the flood is gone we still remain Guess I've known all along I just belong here with you falling Like the rain I have fallen for you and I know just why you Liked the rain always calling for you, I'm falling for you now Just like the rain I have fallen for you I'm falling for you know just like the rain And when the night falls on our better days And we're looking to the sky For the winds to take us high above the plains I know that we'll find better ways to look into the eye of the storms that will be calling Forever we'll be falling Like the rain I have fallen for you, and I know just why you Like the rain always calling for you, I'm falling for you now just Like the rain I have fallen for you and I know just why you Like the rain always calling for you, I'm falling for you now just Like the rain I have fallen for you and I know just why you Like the rain always calling for you, I'm falling for you now just Like the rain Like the rain Like the rain Like the rain Like the rain Like the rain |

Nothin' on Earth that'll get me hummin'
Like a heat wave comin' and I'll come runnin' With her makin' that tan in the broad daylight And every night is a Saturday night And everything's right with the summer comin' I'm the first one standin' in line For my day in the sun I've been workin' 'til the sun don't shine Takin' off my hat leave it to the boys Get that old work monkey down off my back All I want's a little peace and noise Hit the cruise control get me back on track Let my old Ford treat me like a Cadillac Repeat Chorus When the day gets cookin' gonna grab my toys And it really doesn't matter which wave we're on Get to turnin' up them good old boys Crankin' into the night, by the break of dawn All the towns are red and I still see blonde Repeat Chorus For my day in the sun I've been workin' 'Til the sun don't shine For my day in the sun I've been workin' 'Til the sun don't shine Summer's comin' to shine Summer's comin' to shine Summer's comin' |

Maybe I took for granted You'd be around
To pick me up on my way down I thought my feet were planted Firmly on the ground 'Til one day my whole world came unwound And like a ball of yarn Kept neatly on a spool You held the life together Of this broken-hearted fool And what once was the exception Now seems to be the rule And there's a burnin' question A fire in my mind You always had the answers The ones I couldn't find So all I'm askin' Is where are you now? What Father Time would sell me I'd take it all If only you'd come back around But then if time should spell me Well I might take the call But there's no way of knowin' where I'm bound So here comes another Fine mess I've got into And if I knew which way to turn I'd still turn to you So if everything is said and done What am I supposed to do? And that's the burnin' question On fire in my mind You always had the answers for me Time after time So all I'm askin' Is where are you now? All I'm askin' Is where are you now? |

I spent my lifetime wishin' the waitress would come around
Tellin' jokes and shootin' pool on the other side of town When the whistle blows at five o'clock there's only one place I'll be found Down at Ernie's icehouse liftin' longnecks to that good old country sound And talkin' 'bout the good old times Braggin' on how it used to be But I've worn out the same old lines And now it seems nothing's news to me There's nothin' like a steel guitar cryin' in the night There's nothin' like a sawdust floor and a good old friendly fight I'd finally find my way back home and you'd patch up my face But that was another time and another place Repeat chorus I wonder how I came to be the know-it-all I am And how the world ever got used to me And now we're talking 'bout the good old times Braggin' 'bout how it used to be But I've worn out the same old lines And now it seems nothing's news to me. |

What do you say when it's over?
I don't know if I should say anything at all One day we're rollin' in the clover Next thing you know we take the fall Still, I think about the years since I first met you And the way it might have been without you here And I don't know if words from me can still upset you But I've just gotta make this memory stand clear I know I'm leavin' here a better man For knowin' you this way Things I couldn't do before, now I think I can And I'm leavin here a better man I guess I always knew I couldn't hold you But I'd never be the one to set you free Just like some old nursery rhyme your mama told you You still believe in some old meant-to-be Repeat chorus Still, I'm leavin' here a better man... Repeat chorus |

There's no time to kill between the cradle and the grave.
Father Time still takes a toll on every minute that you save. Legal tenders never gonna change the number of your days. The highest cost of livin is dying, that's one everybody pays. So have it spent before you get the bill, there's no time to kill. If we'd known ten years ago today would be ten years from now Would we spend tomorrows yesterdays and make it last somehow Or lead the cheers in someone else's game and never learn to play And see the rules of thumb are all the same that measure every day. The grass is green on both sides of the hill, there's no time to kill. No time to kill, even I've said it and probably always will But I can look ahead and see that time ain't standin' still. No time to kill but time to change the kind of hurry I've been in And quit this work and worry looking back at where I've been. If you don't look ahead nobody will, there's no time to kill. If we had an hour glass to watch each one go by Or a bell to mark each one to pass, we'd see just how they fly. Would we escalate the value to be worth its weight in gold Or would we never know the fortunes that we had til we grow old. And do we just keep killin time until there's no time to kill. No time to kill, even I've said it and probably always will But I can look ahead and see that time ain't standin still. No time to kill but time to change the kind of hurry I've been in And quit this work and worry lookin back at where I've been. If you don't look ahead nobody will, there's no time to kill. No time to kill, even I've said it and probably always will But I can look ahead and see that time ain't standin still. No time to kill but time to change the kind of hurry I've been in And quit this work and worry lookin back at where I've been. If you don't look ahead nobody will, there's no time to kill. No time to kill No time to kill |

I remember well the day we wed
I can see that picture in my head I still believe the words we said Forever will ring true Love is certain, Love is kind Love is yours and love is mine But it isn't something that we find It's something that we do It's holding tight, It's lettin go It's flying high and laying low It lets your strongest feelings show And your weakness too It's a little and a lot to ask An endless and a welcome task Love isn't something that we have It's something that we do We help to make each other all that we can be Though we can find our strength and inspiration independently The way we work together is what sets our love apart So closely that we can't tell where I end and where you start It gives me heart remembering how We started with a simple vow There's so much to look back on now And still it feels brand new We're on a road that has no end And each day we begin again Love's not just something that we're in It's something that we do We help to make each other all that we can be Though we can find our strength and inspiration independently The way we work together is what sets our love apart So closely that we can't tell where I end and where you start Love is wide, Love is long Love is deep and Love is strong Love is why I love this song And I hope you love it too I remember well the day we wed I can see that picture in my head Love isn't just those words we said It's something that we do There's no request Too big or small We give ourselves We give our all Love isn't some place that we fall... It's something that we do |
