First came the scream and blood on the floor
The alcohol and magazines In my flashlight you were a star A razor blade that cuts you clean Smile for the camera take off that dress Twenty dollars for a kiss It's me who made you It's me who will take you I am not an evil man I just have a habit I can't kick It starts with an urge And ends with picking up the phone I ain't finished yet |

The cowboy of Omaha drives with his three kids
To the house where they live, where you been This country will know us by name This country will know us by name We've been out driving and seeing the sights The land of Nebraska is beautiful at night This country will know us by name This country will know us by name Our car was the ship and daddy the captain He let us steer and pretend we were driving This country will know us by name This country will know us by name This country will know me by name |

I fell in love with a girl of nineteen
A black-haired girl i called abilene 'young girl, where's your husband?' 'sadly,' she replied, 'i do not have one.' 'then it's you i'll marry with your parents' permission.' 'no, fine sir, they will not let me marry For i am a young girl And you are a man without money.' 'then i'll come by your window Tonight when they both will be sleeping Outside your window In a carriage, i will be waiting They'll awake, find you gone, Rub their eyes, and think they're dreaming.' And never did they think That their abilene would leave them 'now, fine sir, where is it you shall take me? Is it in the mountains high Or is it the deep blue sea?' |

From the window to the doorway
This is the way we planned our escape Five miles of road, three hours of conversation My feet & ears could only take so much From texas to ohio is too long a walk Even if it's with someone you love Five miles in the walk you already want to do them in Through the heat & humidity My mind keeps going back to the first time i met you How weeks after dating, i could never get ahold of you 'i don't know where she's at You should try calling back tomorrow' From the window to the threshhold This is the way we learn from our mistakes You leave all your friends for someone you think you love Through the for the better and the worse My mind keeps going back to the first time i met you How weeks after dating, i could never get ahold of you 'i don't know where she's at You should try calling back tomorrow' |

I am looking at a beautiful window
That window is your eyes And the only time i saw rainfall Was the day your mother died And i am looking at a beautiful rainbow The rainbow is your smile O, the only time i heard laughter Was the day i took you as my bride I am looking at a beautiful window The window is your eyes O, the only time i saw rainfall Was the day your mother died And i am walking with my Savior My Savior walks with me O, He will guide me up to heaven Where you & i shall meet |

She took advantage of intoxicated hands
And he pretended to be asleep But underneath the blankets Their legs linked like a chain Now come tomorrow morning How will you explain? Was it that whiskey talking Or is it your heart That made you say I love you to me As you held me in your arms And you'll have the explination For that, what has come about I loved you, seven long years And now, that you found me out Just get out I was just like the others I wanted to be more Shame it took that whiskey baby To bring me to your door You'll have the explinations For that what has come about When I loved you seven long years My boy and Now that you found me out Just get out |

Come, o come
Come away, heather Who is the boy That you keep by your arm? That drags a cat Around by a tether Who is the boy That you keep by your arm? I must say He looks not familiar Is he a stranger From some other town? The townfolks say He looks quite peculiar They've never seen His kind come 'round Tell me, o tell me Will he be your husband? Will you, o will you Will you be his bride? Will you stay in the house & provide him with children? Are you sure He will not leave your side? When tears fill your eyes Whom shall you run to? You can run To the house on the hill In this house You will find me standing By a window Waiting for you |

We all cried at the ending
We all stayed for the credits And i kept my ticket as a souvenir We found our way by the usher's light To the place outside where we parked the bikes Underneath a neon sign Matinee Hey hey Why go late When the movies are cheaper during the day? We come down about twice a week To put our feet on the theatre seats Admission's cheap & the soda's free Well, my best friend's girl works the ticketstand When the boss is gone, she gets us in We all see a matinee Matinee Hey hey Why go late When the movies are cheaper during the day? Mmm We all cried at the ending We all stayed for the credits And i kept my ticket as a souvenir O, my best friend's girl works the ticketstand When the boss is gone, she gets us in We all see a matinee Matinee Hey hey Why go late When the movie is cheaper during the day? Matinee Hey hey Why go late When the movies are cheaper during the day? |

I have fell victim to you
Troubles I have seen, many years From high windows I have called you So come, save me from this fire Forget all who hurt you, they don't know you Come rest your tired body in my arms From the bedroom I have called you So come, save me from this fire And I have bad dreams I've done so many bad things So come, save me from this fire |
