It's only natural with time
Details can somehow slip your mind Something so sweet, though incomplete You fill the spaces in-between It never will be that way again Maybe it wasn't way back when But to my heart and soul This is the way the story has to be told That's the way (that's the way) I remember it I remember it that way From the day I was living there I remember it that way Some of our stories fade as we grow older Some get sweeter every time they're told That's the way (that's the way) I remember you that way Guess now if the truth were known Among diamonds they were stones To say would be fair, girl, nothing compares To when I called you all my own So darling don't ever you think twice Those were the best days of my life When I held you there And I'll tell this story this way, time and again That's the way (that's the way) I remember it I remember it that way From the day I was living there I remember it that way |

There's no more waiting
Holding out for love You are my Godsend That I have been forever dreaming of My angel from above (Chorus) Heaven knows I'm head over heels and it shows I've played every field I suppose But there's something about you When you're around Baby I have found I get lost in you What is this feeling I've never known before That I should dare to Swear to surrender ever more That's what I came here for (Repeat Chorus) Heaven knows I'm head over heels and it shows I've played every field I suppose But there's something about you When you're around Baby I have found I get lost in a wonderful daze Lost in your wonderful ways Heaven knows When you're around Baby I have found I get lost (Repeat Chorus) Heaven knows I'm head over heels and it shows I've played every field I suppose But there's something about you When you're around Baby I have found I get lost in you |

Love was burning like the summer
We were lost in one another Holding on, holding on We could not escape the heat Love was dangerous but sweet And it was strong Now you're talking 'bout your freedom What is that you say You suddenly declared to me Your independence day Caught me by surprise Fog turning to ice Well it ain't even cold, baby, How could it snow in July Well, you led me to believe that You found everything you needed In my arms, for so long I thought everything was fine Now you're turning on a dime And moving on, moving on Now I should have brought my sweater For a chill is in the air There's a sudden change of weather For which I am not prepared Caught me by surprise Fog turning to ice Well, it ain't even cold, baby How could it snow in July Well, I should have brought my sweater For a chill is in the air There's a sudden change of weather For which I am not prepared Caught me by surprise Fog turning to ice Well, it ain't even cold baby How could it snow in July |

With all of my heart, I know I could love you
But, with all of my soul, I'm driftin away With all of my mind, I know you could save me from myself And anything else, With all of my strength, I wanna reach out for you With every breath, I call out your name With every step, I just wanna turn around and say Baby make it okay But I'm so afraid that you've forgiven me one too many times And I'm so afraid to give my heart again, just to have a change of mind And I'm not quite sure that you can trust me And I would hate to have you find me again Baby, like the wind, driftin away It blows and nobody knows where it's going to (I'm driftin away) It blows and nobody know what it's gonna do With all of my heart, I know I disappointed you And although I'm real sorry I don't know how to save this time But, if I would lose you I know I would go completely out of my mind I'm running out of time And I'm so afraid that you've forgiven me one too many times And I'm so afraid to give my heart again just to have a change of mind And I'm not quite sure that you can trust me And I would hate to have you find me again Baby, like the wind, driftin away It blow and nobody knows where it's going to (Driftin away) It blows and nobody knows what it's gonna do (You see my heart at night) At night you can hear it cry as the tear drops fall from heaven's eyes (Fallin down) And somehow you know it's true, these tears that fall are fallin for you (Fallin for you) It blows and nobody knows where's it going to (Fallin down) It blows and nobody knows what it's gonna do At night you can hear it cry as the tear drops fall from heaven's eyes And somehow you know it's true these tears that fall are for you (Repeat) |

A breath you can't live without Can't think straight since you found her What's this creature about You persue her in mazes Always one step behind You'd change the world for her graces But she keeps changing her mind It's just the way of the girl, just the way of the girl It's just the way of the girl, just the way of the girl Some made it for money Some made it for love Some made it for romance My baby's all the above It's just the way of the girl, just the way of the girl (Just the way it is, can't help it) It's just the way of the girl, just the way of the girl (repeat twice) |

She got an unsigned letter from her secret someone
And she fell into the mystery Words were few and specifically vague Intrinsic intrigue But it said everything When it just read come to me She's always been that responsible someone Safe within her simplicity But all this cloak and dagger is stoking her heart Stroking her curiosity Is plain little Jane Gonna risk everything Is she gonna strike the match That'll surely light the flame Is she carrying a torch for love in vain Is she gonna break the locks Take a look inside the box Knowing that she could release Pandora's shame Welcome to the game What's in a name She must be dreamin as she boards a plane And flies into her fantasy A first class ticket to the city of Boston Is all she knows of her destiny When she touches down Will her feet hit the ground Is she gonna strike the match That'll surely light the flame Is she carrying a torch for love in vain Is the gonna bread the locks Take a look inside the box Knowing that she could release Pandora's shame Welcome to the game What's in a name Is our little plain Jane Gonna risk everything Yeah. Is she gonna strike the match That'll surely light the flame Is she carrying the torch for love in vain Is the gonna break the locks Take a look inside the box Knowin that she could release Pandora's shame Oh, welcome to the game What's in a name |

They married on a fancy yacht out on the water
He knew she was young enough to be his daughter There always questions in the heart of millionaires Would she make heartfelt promises if the money was not there And he said, do you love me, baby, do you want me to hold Or are you just digging for gold Do you care enough to give me your heart and soul Or are you just digging for gold She ran his weary heart through the ringer And she wore him like the diamond ring around her finger Well, his advances and affections, she managed to avoid But, she got the lap of luxury and he got paranoid And he said, do you love me, baby, do you want me to hold Or are you just digging for gold Do you care enough to give me your heart and soul Or are you just digging for gold, digging for gold Big house, limousines, Fine wines, fine cuisines, Vale and Vegas twice a year, Trips to Paris on the leer Black Tuesday when that wall of wealth came crashing down Bad news day when that little queen had to give back her crown And he said, hey babe, we can live on love cuz love is worth much more But he barely got his feelings out, she was half way to the door And she never even heard him cry Do you love me, baby, do you want me to hold Or are you just digging for gold Do you care enough to give me your heart and soul Or are you just digging for gold |

Papa drove a truck nearly all his life
You know it drove mama crazy being a trucker's wife The part she couldn't handle was the being alone I guess she needed more to hold than just a telephone Papa called Mama each and every night Just to ask her how she was and if us kids were alright Mama would wait for that call to come in When Daddy'd hang up she was gone again CHORUS Mama was a looker Lord, how she shined Papa was a good'n But the jealous kind Papa loved Mama Mama loved men Mama's in the graveyard Papa's in the pen Well, it was bound to happen and one night it did Papa came home and it was just us kids He had a dozen roses and a bottle of wine If he was lookin' to surprise us, he was doin' fine I heard him cry for Mama up and own the hall Then I h heard a bottle break against the bedroom wall That old diesel engine made an eerie sound When Papa fired it up and headed into town Well, the picture in the paper showed the scene real well Papa's rig was buried in the local motel The desk clerk said he saw it all real clear He never hit the brakes and he was shifting gears CHORUS |

Not a soul insight The city's lookin' like a ghost town On a moonless summer night Raindrops on the windshield There's a storm moving in He's headin' back from somewhere That he never should have been And the thunder rolls And the thunder rolls Every light is burnin' In a house across town She's pacin' by the telephone In her faded flannel gown Askin' for miracle Hopin' she's not right Prayin' it's the weather That's kept him out all night And the thunder rolls And the thunder rolls CHORUS The thunder rolls And the lightnin' strikes Another love grows cold On a sleepless night As the storm blows on Out of control Deep in her heart The thunder rolls She's waitin' by the window When he pulls into the drive She rushes out to hold him Thankful he's alive But on the wind and rain A strange e new perfume blows And the lightnin' flashes in her eyes And he knows that she knows And the thunder rolls And the thunder rolls CHORUS |

My wife and I ran into my old high school flame And as I introduced them the past came back to me And I couldn't help but think of the way things used to be She was the one that I'd wanted for all times And each night I'd spend prayin' that God would make her mine And if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back then I'd never ask for anything again Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers She wasn't quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams And I could tell that time had changed me In her eyes too it seemed We tried to talk about the old days There wasn't much we could recall I guess the Lord knows what he's doin' after all And as she walked away and I looked at my wife And then and there I thanked the Good Lord For the gifts in my life Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered...

We call them cool
Those hearts that have no scars to show The ones that never do let go And risk the tables being turned We call them fools Who have to dance within the flame Who chance the sorrow and the shame That always comes with getting burned But you've got to be tough when consumed by desire 'Cause it's not enough just to stand outside the fire We call them strong Those who can face this world alone Who seem to get by on their own Those who will never take the fall We call them weak Who are unable to resist The slightest chance love might exist And for that forsake it all They're so hell-bent on giving ,walking a wire Convinced it's not living if you stand outside the fire Standing outside the fire Standing outside the fire Life is not tried, it is merely survived If you're standing outside the fire There's this love that is burning Deep in my soul Constantly yearning to get out of control Wanting to fly higher and higher I can't abide Standing outside the fire Standing outside the fire Standing outside the fire Life is not tried, it is merely survived If you're standing outside the fire Standing outside the fire Standing outside the fire Life is not tried, it is merely survived If you're standing outside the fire |

His eyes are cold and restless
His wounds have almost healed And she'd give half of Texas Just to change the way he feels She knows his love's in Tulsa And she knows he's gonna go Well, it ain't no woman, flesh and blood It's that damned old rodeo CHORUS Well, it's bulls and blood It's dust and mud It's the roar of a Sunday crowd It's the white in his knuckles The gold in the buckle He'll win the next go 'round It's boots and chaps It's cowboy hats It's spurs and latigo It's the ropes and the reins And the joy and the pain And they call the thing rodeo She does her best to hold him When his love comes to call But his need for it controls him And her back's against the wall And it's "So long girl, I'll see you." When it's time for him to go You know the woman wants her cowboy Like he wants his rodeo CHORUS It'll drive a cowboy crazy It'll drive the man insane And he'll sell off everything he owns Just to pay to play her game And a broken home and some broken bones Is all he'll have to show For all the years that he spentchasin' This dream they call rodeo CHORUS It's the broncs and the blood It's the steers and the mud And they call the thing rodeo |

I was feelin' the blues
I was watchin' the news When this fella came on the TV He said I'm tellin' you That science has proved That heartaches are healed by the sea. That got me goin' Without even knowin' I packed right up and drove down Now I'm on a roll And I swear to my soul Tonight I'm gonna paint this town. So bring me two pina coladas I want one for each hand Let's set sail with Captain Morgan And never leave dry land Troubles, I forgot 'em I buried them in the sand So bring me two pina coladas She said goodbye to her good timin man. Goodbye! Oh now I've gotta say That the wind and the waves And the moon winkin' down at me Eases my mind By leavin' behind The heartaches that love often brings Now I've got a smile That goes on for miles With no inclination to roam I've gotta say That I think I've gotta stay Cause this is feelin more and more like home So bring me two pina coladas I want one for each hand Let's set sail with Captain Morgan And never leave dry land Troubles, I forgot 'em I buried them in the sand So bring me two pina coladas She said goodbye to her good timin man. |

On the dark side of the law Livin' in the shadow Of the light he never saw Rosie came 'round In the way that true love does Just when you're lookin' elsewhere For the thing that never was Wild as the wind Wild as the wind is Wild as the wind is love Wild as the wind Wild as the wind is Wild as the wind is love So they team up And they traveled on thier way Lookin' for forever For every yesterday She brings him hope In the way that Angels do Takin' him to heaven In ways he never knew Wild as the wind Wild as the wind is Wild as the wind is love Wild as the wind Wild as the wind is Wild as the wind is love Wild as the wind Every so often He gets a stray look in his eye She knows how to hold him Without ever askin' why Wild as the wind Wild as the wind is Wild as the wind is love Wild as the wind Wild as the wind is Wild as the wind is love Wild as the wind Wild as the wind is Wild as the wind is love Wild as the wind Wild as the wind is Wild as the wind is love |

When the rain's blowin' in your face
and the whole world is on your case, I would offer you a warm embrace To make you feel my love. Evening shadows and the stars appear and there is no one to dry your tears, I could hold you for a million years To make you feel my love. I know you haven't made your mind up yet, but I would never do you wrong. I've known it from the moment that we met, There's no doubt in my mind where you belong. I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue, I'd go crawling down the avenue. There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do To make you feel my love. Storms are raging on a rolling sea and down the highway of regret, Winds of change are blowing wild and free but you ain't seen nothing like me yet. There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do Go to the ends of the earth for Make you happy, make your dreams come true To make you feel my love. |

I went to work for her that summer
A teenage kid so far from home She was a lonely widow woman Hell-bent to make it on her own We were a thousand miles from nowhere Wheat fields as far as I could see Both needing something from each other Not knowing yet what that might be 'Til she came to me one evening Hot cup of coffee and a smile In a dress that I was certain She hadn't worn in quite a while There was a difference in her laughter There was a softness in her eyes And on the air there was a hunger Even a boy could recognize She had a need to feel the thunder To chase the lightning from the sky To watch a storm with all its wonder Written in her lover's eyes She had to ride the heat of passion Like a comet burning bright Rushing headlong in the wind Now where only dreams have been Burning both ends of the night That summer wind was all around me Nothing between us but the night When I told her that I'd never She softly whispered that's alright And then I watched her hands of leather Turn to velvet in a touch There's never been a summer When I have ever learned so much We had a need to feel the thunder To chase the lightning from the sky To watch a storm with all its wonder Written in her lover's eyes She had to ride the heat of passion Like a comet burning bright Rushing headlong in the wind Now where only dreams have been Burning both ends of the night I often think about that summer The sweat, the moonlight and the lace And I have rarely held another When I haven't seen her face And every time I pass a wheat field And watch it dancing with the wind Although I know it isn't real I just can't help but feel Her hungry arms again She had a need to feel the thunder To chase the lightning from the sky To watch a storm with all its wonder Written in her lover's eyes She had to ride the heat of passion Like a comet burning bright Rushing headlong in the wind Now where only dreams have been Burning both ends of the night Rushing in long in the wind Now where only dreams have been Burnin' both ends of the night |

Sometimes late at night
I lie awake and watch her sleeping She's lost in peaceful dreams So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark And the thought crosses my mind If I never wake up in the morning Would she ever doubt the way I feel About her in my heart *If tomorrow never comes Will she know how much I loved her Did I try in every way to show her every day That she's my only one And if my time on earth were through And she must face the world without me Is the love I gave her in the past Gonna be enough to last If tomorrow never comes 'Cause I've lost loved ones in my life Who never knew how much I loved them Now I live with the regret That my true feelings for them never were revealed So I made a promise to myself To say each day how much she means to me And avoid that circumstance Where there's no second chance to tell her how I feel * Repeat So tell that someone that you love Just what you're thinking of If tomorrow never comes |

Blame it all on my roots, I showed up in boots
And ruined your black tie affair The last one to know, the last one to show I was the last one you thought you'd see there And I saw the surprise, and the fear in his eyes When I took his glass of champagne And I toasted you, said honey we may be through But you'll never hear me complain 'Cause I've got friends in low places Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases My blues away And I'll be OK And I'm not big on social graces Think I'll slip on down to the oasis So I've got friends In low places Well I guess I was wrong, I just don't belong But then, I've been there before Everything's alright, I'll just say goodnight And I'll show myself to the door Hey, I didn't mean, to cause a big scene Just give me an hour and then Well I'll be as high as that Ivory Tower That you're living in 'Cause I've got friends in low places Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases My blues away And I'll be OK And I'm not big on social graces Think I'll slip on down to the oasis So I've got friends In low places I've got friends in low places Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases My blues away And I'll be OK I'm not big on social graces Think I'll slip on down to the oasis So I've got friends In low places I've got friends in low places Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases My blues away And I'll be OK I'm not big on social graces Think I'll slip on down to the oasis So I've got friends In low places I've got friends in low places Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases My blues away, and I'll be OK |

The dance we shared 'neath the stars above For a moment all the world was right How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye *And now I'm glad I didn't know The way it all would end the way it all would go Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain But I'd of had to miss the dance Holding you I held everything For a moment wasn't I the king But if I'd only known how the king would fall Hey who's to say you know I might have changed it all *Repeat It's my life is better left to chance I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance |

Oh I said a little prayer tonight
Before I came on stage As I came walkin' past the drivers and the locals on the union wage I asked the dear Lord up in heaven Let me treat the music right Then I prayed that Detroit Goes wild tonight. Seven pickers and all our gear in a rental van Playin' music never sleepin' and workin' on a neon tan We played The Barn down in Sanford Florida For Bev Roberts out in Camden Park We plugged it in up east at Bull Run and the place went dark. Back when the old stuff was new Back before the buses and the hard workin' boys in the crew It was one big party But the business called it payin' our dues Back when the old stuff was new. Oh the stories we could tell If it weren't for the code of the road About The Buckboard, Bear Creek, Cowboys, and the Grizzly Rose You know the weather turned bad in Scottsdale A tornado nearly stole the show We just danced in the rain and listened to the thunder roll. Back when the old stuff was new Hats off to the K.C. Opry and Ella Guru's It was one big party Uncle Joe you know we owe it to you Back when the old stuff was new. No rules young fools comin' from the old school Takin' on the world alone Next date can't wait tearin' up the interstate Every place we played was home Balls out no doubt this is what it's all about Beggin' for a place to play Swingin' with our old friends Prayin' that it never ends Wouldn't trade a single day. Back when the old stuff was new Back before the buses and the hard workin' boys in the crew It was one big party But the paper's called it payin' our dues Back when the old stuff was new. Hey it's still one big party You can call it whatever you choose You make me feel like the old stuff is new |

On the eighth day God noticed a problem
For there below Him stood a cowboy alone Stubborn and proud, reckless and loud God knew he'd never make it on his own So God looked out all over creation And listened as that cowboy prayed God took passion and thunder Patience and wonder then he sent down The best thing that God ever made. *Cowboys and Angels leather and lace Salt of the earth meets heavenly grace Cowboys and angels tested and tried It's a long way to heaven And one hell of a ride. Nothin's changed since the dawn of creation For you will find them together today And only heaven above them knows why she loves him But he must be the reason she don't fly away. *Repeat It's a long way to heaven And one hell of a ride. |

She dropped her boy at school on time
One less worry on her mind Now it's off to work and on the radio Come's an old familiar song And then the D.J.'s voice comes on And say's he's back in town tonight for one last show. Her eyes well up with tears God could it be it's been ten years Since that Autumn night outside the county fair When two strangers shared a night And in the darkness found a light That to this day is still alive and burning there. He asked her twice to come along They said good-bye at the break of dawn 'Cause you can't hold back the wind If it's meant to be again Then someday he'll find his way back to her arms. The marquee misspelled his name And not too many people came But that didn't matter to them They laughed and loved all through the night And as they faced the morning light They found themselves standing there again. And he asked her twice to come along They said good-bye at the break of dawn As his bus left out she cried With him standing by her side That ol' wind had once again found it's way home. Someday he'll tell her about the money he hid And someday she'll tell him that the boy is his kid. But for right now they're both in love The only thing they're thinkin' of Is that they're finally where their hearts have always been. |

She was born to a mother trucker
Raised behind the wheel So you can blame it on the highway For the way she can't sit still She says life is like a windshield It ain't no rear view mirror The only way to get where you're goin' Is find that higher gear And keep it *Rollin' Life's gonna' run you over if you don't get goin' She said I wanna' fell the earth move under me Movin' with the motion of a melody Oh I get the blues if the rhythm ain't got no soul You got to keep it Rollin'. Well I knew that I was in trouble When she told me that talk was cheap Said if you're tired get on the sofa 'Cause the bed's no place to sleep Lord it knocked me on my knees And I knew if I was gonna' get naked I was gonna have to roll up my sleeves. And keep it Rollin' *Repeat So I talked her into gettin' married But she wouldn't hang up her wheels I was afraid I'd take a back seat To the way the highway feels But each day she's pullin' over More than she used to She knows love is like the highway The main thing you gotta do Is keep it rollin' |

One hand
Reaches out And pulls a lost soul from harm While a thousand more go unspoken for They say what good have you done By saving just this one It's like whispering a prayer In the fury of a storm. *And I hear them saying you'll never change things and no matter what you do it's still the same thing But it's not the world that I am changing I do this so this world will know that it will not change me. This heart Still believes The love and mercy still exist. While all the hatred rage and so many say That love is all but pointless in madness such as this It's like trying to stop a fire With the moisture from a kiss. *Repeat As long as one heart still holds on Then hope is never really gone. *Repeat What I do is so This world will know That it will not change me |

They say she just went crazy The night she got the call. He was up in Wyoming And drew a bull no man could ride. He promised her he'd turn out Well it turned out that he lied.

They say mother earth is breathing
With each wave that finds the shore Her soul rises in the evening For to open twilights door Her eyes are the stars in heaven Watching o'er us all the while And her heart it is in Ireland Deep within the Emerald Isle. We are forty against hundreds In someone elses bloody war We know not why were fighting Or what we're dying for They will storm us in the morning When the sunlight turns to sky Death is waiting for its dance now Fate has sentenced us to die. *Ireland I am coming home I can see your rolling fields of green And fences made of stone. I am reaching out won't you take my hand I'm coming home Ireland. Oh the captain he lay bleeding I can hear him calling me These men are yours now for the leading Show them to their destiny And as I look up all around me I see the ragged tired and torn I tell them to make ready 'Cause we're not waiting for the morn. *Repeat Now the fog is deep and heavy As we forge the dark and fear We can hear their horses breathing As in silence we draw near There are no words to be spoken Just a look to say good-bye I draw a breath and night is broken As I scream our battle cry. *Repeat I am home Ireland |

For oilin' that front door This morning when she wakes She won't be thankful anymore She'll never know how much I cared Just that I couldn't stay And I'll never know the reason Why I always run away Burning bridges one by one What I'm doin' can't be undone And I'm always hoping someday I'm gonna stop this runnin' around But every time the chance comes up Another bridge goes down Last night we talked of old times Families and home towns Whe wondered if we'd both agree On where we'd settle down And I told her that we'd cross that bridge Whenever it arrived Now through the flames I see her Standin' on the other side Burning bridges one by one What I'm doin' can't be undone And I'm always hoping someday I'm gonna stop this runnin' around But every time the chance comes up Another bridge goes down Like ashes on the water I drift away in sorrow Knowing that the day My lesson's finally learned I'll be standing at a river Staring out across tomorrow And the bridge I need to get there Will be a bridge that I have burned Burning bridges one by one What I'm doin' can't be undone And I'm always hoping someday I'm gonna stop this runnin' around But every time the chance comes up Another bridge goes down Another bridge goes down |

I spent last night in the arms
Of a girl in Louisiana And though I'm out on the highway My thoughts are still with her Such a strange combination of a woman and a child Such a strange situation stoppin' every hundred miles Callin' Baton Rouge A replay of last night's events Roll through my mind Except a scene or two Erased by sweet red wine And I see a truck stop sign ahead So I change lanes I need a cup of coffee And a couple dollars change Callin' Baton Rouge Operator won't you put me on through I gotta' send my love down to Baton Rouge Hurry up won't you put her on the line I gotta' talk to the girl just one more time Hello Samantha dear I hope you're feelin' fine And it won't be long until I'm with you all the time But until then I'll spend my money up right down to my last dime Callin' Baton Rouge Operator won't you put me on through I gotta' send my love down to Baton Rouge Hurry up won't you put her on the line I gotta' talk to the girl just one more time Oh in Baton Rouge Sweet Baton Rouge, my Baton Rouge |

You know a dream is like a river
Ever changin' as it flows And a dreamer's just a vessel That must follow where it goes Trying to learn from what's behind you And never knowing what's in store Makes each day a constant battle Just to stay between the shores.. and I will sail my vessel 'Til the river runs dry Like a bird upon the wind These waters are my sky I'll never reach my destination If I never try So I will sail my vessel 'Til the river runs dry Too many times we stand aside And let the waters slip away 'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow Has now become today So don't you sit upon the shoreline And say you're satisfied Choose to chance the rapids And dare to dance the tide.. yes I will sail my vessel 'Til the river runs dry Like a bird upon the wind These waters are my sky I'll never reach my destination If I never try So I will sail my vessel 'Til the river runs dry And there's bound to be rough waters And I know I'll take some falls But with the good Lord as my captain I can make it through them all.. yes I will sail my vessel 'Til the river runs dry Like a bird upon the wind These waters are my sky I'll never reach my destination If I never try So I will sail my vessel 'Til the river runs dry Yes, I will sail my vessel 'Til the river runs dry 'Til the river runs dry |

This ol' highway's getting longer
Seems there ain't no end in sight To sleep would be best, but I just can't afford to rest I've got to ride in Denver tomorrow night I called the house but no one answered For the last two weeks no one's been home I guess she's through with me, to tell the truth I just can't see What's kept the woman holding on this long And the white line's getting longer and the saddle's getting cold I'm much too young to feel this damn old All my cards are on the table with no ace left in the hole I'm much too young to feel this damn old The competition's getting younger Tougher broncs, you know I can't recall The worn out tape of Chris LeDoux, lonely women and bad booze Seem to be the only friends I've left at all And the white line's getting longer and the saddle's getting cold I'm much too young to feel this damn old All my cards are on the table with no ace left in the hole I'm much too young to feel this damn old Lord, I'm much too young to feel this damn old |

Three thirty in the morning
Not a soul insight The city's lookin' like a ghost town On a moonless summer night Raindrops on the windshield There's a storm moving in He's headin' back from somewhere That he never should have been And the thunder rolls And the thunder rolls Every light is burnin' In a house across town She's pacin' by the telephone In her faded flannel gown Askin' for miracle Hopin' she's not right Prayin' it's the weather That's kept him out all night And the thunder rolls And the thunder rolls The thunder rolls And the lightnin' strikes Another love grows cold On a sleepless night As the storm blows on Out of control Deep in her heart The thunder rolls She's waitin' by the window When he pulls into the drive She rushes out to hold him Thankful he's alive But on the wind and rain A strange new perfume blows And the lightnin' flashes in her eyes And he knows that she knows And the thunder rolls And the thunder rolls The thunder rolls And the lightnin' strikes Another love grows cold On a sleepless night As the storm blows on Out of control Deep in her heart The thunder rolls 3rd Verse: She runs back down the hallway To the bedroom door She reaches for the pistol Kept in the dresser drawer Tells the lady in the mirror He won't do this again Cause tonight will be the last time She'll wonder where he's been |

Sometimes late at night
I lie awake and watch her sleeping She's lost in peaceful dreams So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark And the thought crosses my mind If I never wake up in the morning Would she ever doubt the way I feel About her in my heart If tomorrow never comes Will she know how much I loved her Did I try in every way to show her every day That she's my only one And if my time on earth were through And she must face the world without me Is the love I gave her in the past Gonna be enough to last If tomorrow never comes 'Cause I've lost loved ones in my life Who never knew how much I loved them Now I live with the regret That my true feelings for them never were revealed So I made a promise to myself To say each day how much she means to me And avoid that circumstance Where there's no second chance to tell her how I feel If tomorrow never comes Will she know how much I loved her Did I try in every way to show her every day That she's my only one And if my time on earth were through And she must face the world without me Is the love I gave her in the past Gonna be enough to last If tomorrow never comes So tell that someone that you love Just what you're thinking of If tomorrow never comes |

Just the other night a hometown football game
My wife nd I ran into my old high school flame And as I introduced them the past came back to me And I couldn't help but think of the way things used to be She was the one that I'd wanted for all times And each night I'd spend prayin' that God would make her mine And if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back then I'd never ask for anything again Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers She wasn't quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams And I could tell that time had changed me Inn her eyes too it seemed We tried to talk about the old days There wasn't much we could recall I guess the Lord knows what he's doin' after all And as she walked away and I looked at my wife And then and there I thankedd the good Lord For the gifts in my life Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs That just because he may not answer doesn't mean he don't care Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers Some of God's greatest gifts are all too often unanswered...

We call them cool
Those hearts that have no scars to show The ones that never do let go And risk the tables being turned We call them fools Who have to dance within the flame Who chance the sorrow and the shame That always comes with getting burned But you've got to be tough when consumed by desire 'Cause it's not enough just to stand outside the fire We call them strong Those who can face this world alone Who seem to get by on their own Those who will never take the fall We call them weak Who are unable to resist The slightest chance love might exist And for that forsake it all They're so hell-bent on giving ,walking a wire Convinced it's not living if you stand outside the fire Standing outside the fire Standing outside the fire Life is not tried, it is merely survived If you're standing outside the fire There's this love that is burning Deep in my soul Constantly yearning to get out of control Wanting to fly higher and higher I can't abide Standing outside the fire Standing outside the fire Standing outside the fire Life is not tried, it is merely survived If you're standing outside the fire Standing outside the fire Standing outside the fire Life is not tried, it is merely survived If you're standing outside the fire |

His eyes are cold and restless
His wounds have almost healed And she'd give half of Texas Just to change the way he feels She knows his love's in Tulsa And she knows he's gonna go Well, it ain't no woman, flesh and blood It's that damned old rodeo Well, it's bulls and blood It's dust and mud It's the roar of a Sunday crowd It's the white in his knuckles The gold in the buckle He'll win the next go 'round It's boots and chaps It's cowboy hats It's spurs and latigo It's the ropes and the reins And the joy and the pain And they call the thing rodeo She does her best to hold him When his love comes to call But his need for it controls him And her back's against the wall And it's "So long girl, I'll see you" When it's time for him to go You know the woman wants her cowboy Like he wants his rodeo Well, it's bulls and blood It's dust and mud It's the roar of a Sunday crowd It's the white in his knuckles The gold in the buckle He'll win the next go 'round It's boots and chaps It's cowboy hats It's spurs and latigo It's the ropes and the reins And the joy and the pain And they call the thing rodeo It'll drive a cowboy crazy It'll drive the man insane And he'll sell off everything he owns Just to pay to play her game And a broken home and some broken bones Is all he'll have to show For all the years that he spent chasin' This dream they call rodeo Well, it's bulls and blood It's dust and mud It's the roar of a Sunday crowd It's the white in his knuckles The gold in the buckle He'll win the next go 'round It's boots and chaps It's cowboy hats It's spurs and latigo It's the ropes and the reins And the joy and the pain And they call the thing rodeo It's the broncs and the blood It's the steers and the mud And they call the thing rodeo |

Last time I saw her it was turnin' colder
But that was years ago Last I heard she had moved to Boulder But where she's now, I don't know But there's somethin' 'bout this time of year That spins my head around Takes me back, makes me wonder What she's doin' now CHORUS 'Cause what she's doin' now is tearin' me apart Fillin' up my mind and emptying my heart I can hear her call each time the cold wind blows And I wonder if she knows...what she's doin' now Just for laughs, I dialed her old number But no one knew her name Hung up the phone, sat there and wondered If she'd ever done the same I took a walk in the evenin' wind To clear my head somehow But tonight I lie here thinkin' Wha's she doin' now CHORUS |

Papa drove a truck nearly all his life
You know it drove mama crazy being a trucker's wife The part she couldn't handle was the being alone I guess she needed more to hold than just a telephone Papa called Mama each and every night Just to ask her how she was and if us kids were alright Mama would wait for that call to come in When Daddy'd hang up she was gone again Mama was a looker Lord, how she shined Papa was a good'n But the jealous kind Papa loved Mama Mama loved men Mama's in the graveyard Papa's in the pen Well, it was bound to happen and one night it did Papa came home and it was just us kids He had a dozen roses and a bottle of wine If he was lookin' to surprise us, he was doin' fine I heard him cry for Mama up and own the hall Then I h heard a bottle break against the bedroom wall That old diesel engine made an eerie sound When Papa fired it up and headed into town Well, the picture in the paper showed the scene real well Papa's rig was buried in the local motel The desk clerk said he saw it all real clear He never hit the brakes and he was shifting gears Mama was a looker Lord, how she shined Papa was a good'n But the jealous kind Papa loved Mama Mama loved men Mama's in the graveyard Papa's in the pen |

I went to work for her that summer
A teenage kid so far from home She was a lonely widow woman Hell-bent to make it on her own We were a thousand miles from nowhere Wheat fields as far as I could see Both needing something from each other Not knowing yet what that might be 'Til she came to me one evening Hot cup of coffee and a smile In a dress that I was certain She hadn't worn in quite a while There was a difference in her laughter There was a softness in her eyes And on the air there was a hunger Even a boy could recognize She had a need to feel the thunder To chase the lightning from the sky To watch a storm with all its wonder Written in her lover's eyes She had to ride the heat of passion Like a comet burning bright Rushing headlong in the wind Now where only dreams have been Burning both ends of the night That summer wind was all around me Nothing between us but the night When I told her that I'd never She softly whispered that's alright And then I watched her hands of leather Turn to velvet in a touch There's never been a summer When I have ever learned so much We had a need to feel the thunder To chase the lightning from the sky To watch a storm with all its wonder Written in her lover's eyes She had to ride the heat of passion Like a comet burning bright Rushing headlong in the wind Now where only dreams have been Burning both ends of the night I often think about that summer The sweat, the moonlight and the lace And I have rarely held another When I haven't seen her face And every time I pass a wheat field And watch it dancing with the wind Although I know it isn't real I just can't help but feel Her hungry arms again She had a need to feel the thunder To chase the lightning from the sky To watch a storm with all its wonder Written in her lover's eyes She had to ride the heat of passion Like a comet burning bright Rushing headlong in the wind Now where only dreams have been Burning both ends of the night Rushing in long in the wind Now where only dreams have been Burnin' both ends of the night |

Moonlight on canvas, midnight and wine
Two shadows starting to softly combine The picture they're painting Is one of the heart And to those who have seen it It's a true work of art Oh, the red strokes Passions uncaged Thundering moments of tenderness rage Oh, the red strokes Tempered and strong (Fearlessly drawn) Burning the night like the dawn Steam on the window, salt in a kiss Two hearts have never pounded like this Inspired by a vision That they can't command Erasing the borders With each brush of a hand Oh, the red strokes Passions uncaged Thundering moments of tenderness rage Oh, the red strokes Tempered and strong (Fearlessly drawn) Burning the night like the dawn Oh, the blues will be blue and the jealousies green But when love picks its shade it demands to be seen Oh, the red strokes Passions uncaged Thundering moments of tenderness rage Oh, the red strokes Tempered and strong (Fearlessly drawn) Burning the night like the dawn Oh, the red strokes Passions uncaged Thundering moments of tenderness rage Oh, the red strokes Tempered and strong (Fearlessly drawn) Burning the night like the dawn Steam on the window, salt in a kiss Two hearts have never pounded like this |

Pushin' horns weren't easy like the movie said it was
And I don't recall no dance hall girls or hotel rooms with rugs You worked hot and tired and nasty, rode your pony's head too low And there were all the nights you couldn't sleep, 'cause it was too damn cold And you'd sing Strawberry Roan and Little Joe Like the time we hit the river, and the rains began to fall And the water was risin' so damn fast, we thought it'd drown us all We lost a lot of steers that day, and four to five good mounts But when all the boys rode into camp, we knew that's what counts And we sang, Yippie Ti Yi Yay and Amazing Grace Or the night they broke behind us, and then took us by surprise I whistled out to Bonner, I seen the terror in his eyes And he rode for all his horse would ride, and I know he done his best But he crossed over Jordan, ridin' Dunny to his death And we sang, Bringing In The Sheaves and The Rugged Cross So when you see the cowboy, he's not ragged by his choice He never meant to bow them legs, or put that gravel in his voice He's just chasin' what he really loves, and what's burnin' in his soul Wishin' to God that he'd been born a hundred years ago Still singin', Strawberry Roan and Little Joe |

How you ever gonna know.. How it feels to hold her.. How you ever gonna know.. What it's like to dance.. How you ever gonna know.. If you never take a chance.. You know failure isn't failure.. If a lesson from it's learned.. I guess love would not be love.. Without a risk of being burned.. Anything in life worth havin'.. Lord, it has its sacrifice.. But the gift you're receiving... Is worth more than the price.. How you ever gonna know.. What it's like to live there.. How you ever gonna know.. What you never knew.. How you ever gonna know.. If you're down here doin'.. What the good Lord put you here to do.. How you ever gonna know.. If you could have done it.. How you ever gonna know.. How it feels to fly.. How you ever gonna know.. If you never dare to try.. Listen not to the critics.. Who put their own dreams on a shelf.. If you want to get the truth to admit it.. You gotta find out for yourself.. How you ever gonna know.. What it's like to be there.. How you ever gonna know.. If you're the best.. How you ever gonna know.. What you believe in.. If you don't put it to the test.. How you ever gonna know.. How it feels to hold him.. How you ever gonna know.. What livin' means.. How you ever gonna know.. If you never chase the dream.. How you ever gonna know.. Your potential.. How you ever gonna know victory.. How you ever gonna know.. What it's like when dreams become reality.. How you ever gonna know.. How it feels to hold her.. How you ever gonna know.. What it's like to dance.. How you ever gonna know.. If you never take the chance.. |

He followed her to work this morning
He'd never seen that dress before She seemed to sail right through Those dark clouds forming That he knows he'd headed for After seven years of marriage He wanted out Now after sevon months of freedom It's clear that there's no doubt She's gonna to make it And he never will He's at the foot of the mountain And she's over that hill He's sinkin' at sea And her sails are filled She's gonna make it And he never will And you know it's not like she's forgot about him She's just dealing with the pain And the fact that she's survived so well without him You know it's driving him insane And the crazy thing about it Is she'd take him back But the fool in him that walked out Is the fool who just won't ask She's gonna to make it And he never will He's at the foot of the mountain And she's over that hill He's sinkin' at sea And her sails are filled She's gonna make it And he never will |

Drove to the Church
In my suit and tie But i just couldn't bring myself To go inside So I sat alone In my truck across the street Watched the chauffer smokin' cigarettes By that long limousine I could just imagine What was goin' on in there Sunlight streamin' through the stained glass And those flowers in her hair And in less time than it takes a tear to fall Those bells rang loud as thunder As they opened up the doors Now I don't have to wonder anymore Laughin' and cryin' Tossin' that bouquet And when you got in that limo I drove off the other way And I still don't know Why thing happened like the did But I parked that old pickup On that lonesome river bridge I took your ring from my pocket And I held it one last time Watched that diamond sparkle I drew back and let her fly And in less time than it takes a tear to fall Those bells rang loud as thunder As they opened up the doors Now I don't have to wonder anymore Well the angels sang like thunder As I felt my self go under Now I dont have to wonder anymore |

I was feelin' the blues
I was watchin' the news When this fella came on the TV He said I'm tellin' you That science has proved That heartaches are healed by the sea. That got me goin' Without even knowin' I packed right up and drove down Now I'm on a roll And I swear to my soul Tonight I'm gonna paint this town. So bring me two pina coladas I want one for each hand Let's set sail with Captain Morgan And never leave dry land Troubles, I forgot 'em I buried them in the sand So bring me two pina coladas She said goodbye to her good timin man. Goodbye! Oh now I've gotta say That the wind and the waves And the moon winkin' down at me Eases my mind By leavin' behind The heartaches that love often brings Now I've got a smile That goes on for miles With no inclination to roam I've gotta say That I think I've gotta stay Cause this is feelin more and more like home So bring me two pina coladas I want one for each hand Let's set sail with Captain Morgan And never leave dry land Troubles, I forgot 'em I buried them in the sand So bring me two pina coladas She said goodbye to her good timin man. |

I've never known one better
She's a real go getter If you met her you'd be good as gone. She's a real red liner Likes it all behind her She's the kind that keeps you hangin on. She's a cowboy's buddy Even when she gets muddy Lord, she's lovely from her front to back So either comin or going Know her best side's showin' She's my cowboy cadillac She's the perfect picture Of a perfect mixture "Tween a woman and a fine machine. She's a hard work lover A real tough mother She's the cover of a magazine And I'm happy knowin That what keeps me going Is what's gonna keep me comin back She's my honkin, tonkin Everything I'm wantin Cowboy cadillac. She loves to haul them cattle All my ropes and saddle And it doesn't matter work or play If it's a mountain she can crawl it If it's hay then she can haul it She's the last one to call it a day Every cowboy loves her Lord, they all dream of her Oh brother don't they all react At the end of the evening When they see me leaving With my cowboy cadillac. She's the perfect picture Of a perfect mixture "Tween a woman and a fine machine. She's a hard work lover A real tough mother She's the cover of a magazine And I'm happy knowin That what keeps me going Is what's gonna keep me comin back She's my honkin, tonkin Everything I'm wantin Cowboy cadillac. |

His pulpit's a corner on 19th and Main.
His grip on the gospel his one claim to fame. He hurls fire and brimstone at the cars passing by And he offers salvation for the savior on high. His khakis are tattered and he ain't bathed in weeks. His bout with the bottle shows up on his cheeks. He looks like a scarecrow, a sight to behold As he works for the shepherd, bringing lambs to the fold. He points to the Bible he holds in his hands Says I'm proof that the good Lord can save any man. Son it ain't what you're driving or the clothes that you wear Material possessions won't matter up there. And someday in heaven when the angels all sing These rags that I'm wearing will be fit for a king. He's fighting a fever in spite of the chill. He pulls up his collar and he speaks of God's will. His body is weakened but his faith is still strong For he's filled with conviction for the mission he's on. He knows soon in heaven he'll be homeless no more As his work will soon echo from that far distant shore. Son it ain't what you're driving or the clothes that you wear Material possessions won't matter up there. And someday in heaven when the angels all sing These rags that I'm wearing will be fit for a king. Someday in heaven when the angels all sing These rags that I'm wearing will be fit for a king. |

Sometimes you gotta take the heat If you're gonna walk down on the mean street Take the heat and you see it through Cause sometimes it comes down to Do what you gotta do. Sometimes it goes right down to the wire And you might have to walk through the fire Walk on, boy, all the way through Sometimes it just comes down to Do what you gotta do. Well, there's people that'll tell you it's just no use And there's people that'll tell you that you're gonna lose People that'll tell you anything you're gonna listen to Do what you gotta do. Some day they're gonna call your name. They'll come looking for someone to blame What's your name boy? Hey you just tell them true Cause they can't take the truth from you So do what you gotta do. Well they'll call you a hero or a traitor But you'll find out that sooner or later Nobody in this world is gonna do it for you Do what you gotta do. There ain't nobody in this world That's gonna do it for you Do what you gotta do. |

This is how it seems to me
Life is only therapy Real expensive And no guarantee So I lie here on the couch With my heart hanging out Frozen solid with fear Like a rock in the ground. You move me You give me courage I didn't know I had You move me I can't go with you and stay where I am So you move me. This is how love was to me I could look and not see Going through the emotions Not knowin what they mean And it scared me so much That I just wouldn't budge I might have stayed there forever If not for your touch Oh but you move me Out of myself and into the fire You move me Now I'm burning with love and with hope and desire How you move me. You go whistling in the dark Making light of it Making light of it And I follow with my heart Laughing all the way Cause you move me You get me dancing and you make me sing You move me Now I'm taking delight in every little thing You move me. |

In Another's Eyes
I'm someone who Loves her enough To walk away from you I'd never cheat And I would never lie In another's eyes In anothers' eyes I could do no wrong And he believes in me And his faith is strong I'd never fall Or even compromise In another's eyes In another's eyes I'm afraid that I can't see This picture perfect portrait That they paint of me They don't realize And I pray that they never do 'Cause everytime I look I'm seein' you In another's eyes In another's eyes Starin' back at me Tryin' desperately To turn the tide Before it dies In another's eyes And what they don't see Is killing me It's a blessing and a curse That love is blind 'Cause in another's eyes I'm afraid that I can't see This picture perfect portrait That they paint of me They don't realize And I pray to god they never do 'Cause every time I look I'm seein' you In another's eyes |

This is a song that nobody knows
I couldn't begin to describe how it goes But it makes me cry or laugh right out loud It's a song that I sing when there's no one around. This is the man that nobody sees He wears my old clothes and he looks just like me Just one of the boys who gets lost in the crowd. He's the man that I am when there's no one around. Its four in the morning I'm lyin' in bed A tape of my failures playin inside my head It's heartaches and hard knocks And things I don't know I listen and wonder Where will it go This is a glimpse of the child that's within He' so immature but he's my best friend. If he could learn how to fly he'd never touch down He's the kid that I am when there's no one around. This is the dance I do every day I let my feet get carried away I let my soul lead and follow the sound It's the dance that I dance when there's no one around. Its four in the morning I'm lyin' in bed A tape of my failures playin inside my head It's heartaches and hard knocks And things I don't know I listen and wonder Where will it go This is a song that nobody knows I couldn't begin to describe how it goes But it makes me cry or laugh right out loud It's a song that I sing when there's no one around.

Well you and I
We're buddies And we've been since we've first met Me and you Well we've sure been through Our share of laughter and regret Lord knows we've had our bad days And more than once we've disagreed But you've always been a friend to me You can be so stubborn There's times I think that you just like to fight And I hope and pray I live to see a day When you say I might be right And there's times I'd rather kill you Than listen to your honesty But you've always been a friend to me You've always been Time and again The one to take my hand And show me it's okay to be Just the way I am With no apology Oh you've always been And you will 'til God knows when Yes you've always been a friend to me |

I've been out on this highway of hearache
Hopin' that somewhere down the line I could find somebody who Could rev' me like you do So grab onto my wheel And I'll be fine (chorus) Take the keys to my heart And drive me crazy I've been runnin' on empty way too long Honey you got the touch That heats my motor up Take the keys to my heart And drive it home I don't know where this road is gonna' lead us But what a beautiful night for a drive Baby put your mind at ease Drop the top and feel the breeze Just follow the signs to paradise (chorus) Tonight were gonna' set these wheels on fire And find out just how far this thing will go Honey we don't need no map Cause where we are is where its at Take the keys to my heart And drive it home Baby make my motor yearn I long to feel that rubber burn Take the keys to my heart And drive it home Drive it home |

Oh, the snowflakes fell in silence
Over Belleau Wood that night For a Christmas truce had been declared By both sides of the fight As we lay there in our trenches The silence broke in two By a German soldier singing A song that we all knew Though I did not know the language The song was "Silent Night" Then I heard my buddy whisper, "All is calm and all is bright" Then the fear and doubt surrounded me 'Cause I'd die if I was wrong But I stood up in my trench and began to sing along Then across the frozen battlefield Another's voice joined in Until one by one each man became A singer of the hymm Then I thought that I was dreaming For right there in my sight Stood the German soldier 'Neath the falling flakes of white And raised his hand and smiled at me As if he seemed to say Here's hoping we both live To see us find a better way Then the devil's clock struck midnight And the skies lit up again And the battlefield where heaven stood Was blown to hell again But for just one fleeting moment The answer seemed so clear Heaven's not beyond the clouds It's just beyond the fear No, heaven's not beyond the clouds It's for us to find it here |

Yes, she's my lady luck
Hey, I'm her wild card man Together we're buildin' up a real hot hand We live out in the country Hey, she's my little queen of the South Yea, we're two of a kind Workin' on a full house. She wakes me every mornin' With a smile and a kiss Her strong country lovin' is hard to resist She's my easy lovin' woman I'm her hard-workin' man, no doubt Yea, we're two of a kind Workin' on a full house . Yea, a pickup truck is her limousine And her favorite dress is her faded blue jeans She loves me tender when the goin' gets tough Somtimes we fight just so we can make up. Lord I need that little woman Like the crops need the rain She's my honeycomb and I'm her sugar cane We really fit together If you know what I'm talkin' about Yea, we're two of a kind Workin' on a full house. This time I found a keeper, I made up my mind Lord the perfect combination is her heart and mine The sky's the limit, no hill is too steep We're playin' for fun, but we're playin' for keeps. So draw the curtain, honey Turn the lights down low We'll find some country music on the radio I'm yours and you're mine Hey, that's what it's all about Yea, we're two of a kind Workin' on a full house. Lordy, mama, we'll be two of a kind Workin' on a full house. |

Blame it all on my roots, I showed up in boots
And ruined your black tie affair The last one to know, the last one to show I was the last one you thought you'd see there And I saw the surprise, and the fear in his eyes When I took his glass of champagne And I toasted you, said honey we may be through But you'll never hear me complain 'Cause I've got friends in low places Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases My blues away And I'll be OK And I'm not big on social graces Think I'll slip on down to the oasis So I've got friends In low places Well I guess I was wrong, I just don't belong But then, I've been there before Everything's alright, I'll just say goodnight And I'll show myself to the door Hey, I didn't mean, to cause a big scene Just give me an hour and then Well I'll be as high as that Ivory Tower That you're living in 'Cause I've got friends in low places Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases My blues away And I'll be OK And I'm not big on social graces Think I'll slip on down to the oasis So I've got friends In low places I've got friends in low places Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases My blues away And I'll be OK I'm not big on social graces Think I'll slip on down to the oasis So I've got friends In low places I've got friends in low places Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases My blues away And I'll be OK I'm not big on social graces Think I'll slip on down to the oasis So I've got friends In low places I've got friends in low places Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases My blues away, and I'll be OK |

From a phone booth in Cheyenne
I made a promise to Diane No more rodeos I'd gone my last go 'round The same promise that I made In San Antone and Santa Fe But tonight I saddled up And let her down Wild horses keep draggin' me away And I'll lose more than I'm gonna win someday Wild horses just stay wild And her heart is all I break Wild horses keep draggin' me away She'll watch me drive around her block Gettin' courage up to stop To make her one more promise That I can't keep The way I love the rodeo I guess I should let her go Before I hurt her more Than she loves me Wild horses keep draggin' me away And I'll lose more than I'm gonna win someday Wild horses just stay wild And her heart is all I break Wild horses keep draggin' me away |

Just the other night at a hometown football game
My wife and I ran into my old high school flame And as I introduced them the past came back to me And I couldn't help but think of the way things used to be She was the one that I'd wanted for all times And each night I'd spend prayin' that God would make her mine And if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back then I'd never ask for anything again Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers She wasn't quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams And I could tell that time had changed me In her eyes too it seemed We tried to talk about the old days There wasn't much we could recall I guess the Lord knows what he's doin' after all And as she walked away and I looked at my wife And then and there I thanked the good Lord For the gifts in my life Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs That just because he may not answer doesn't mean he don't care Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers Some of God's greatest gifts are all too often unanswered... Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers |

while they dance
how she holds him pulls him close and loves him so while he dreams of another and counts the days until he lets her go same old story that everybody knows it's one heart holdin' on one letting go while they ride lord, he tells her how they two will settle down but she only hears the highway and a voice in some other town and the harder he holds her the more she slips away same old story that everybody knows its one heart holdin' one one letting go same old story |
