Randy Travis - Storms Of Life (1986) by Randy Travis (보컬) on maniadb.com

On one hand I count the reasons I could stay with you
And hold you close to me, all night long.
So many lover's games I could play with you
and on that hand I see no reason why it's wrong

Chorus:

But on the other hand, There's a golden band
To remind of someone who would not understand
On one hand I could stay and be your loving man
But the reason I must go is on the other hand


In your arms I feel the passion, I thought had died
When I looked into your eyes I found myself
When I first kissed your lips I felt so alive
I've got to hand it to you girl, you're something else

Repeat Chorus

There's a dirty piece of cardboard
That reads Montgomery Ward
Taped across the window of my old Ford.
A six-pack on the front seat and a box of chicken wings,
I'm dialin' 'cross the radio for a song that I can sing

I'd better change my wandrin ways,
I know I've seen my better days,
Always gettin' high when I get low.
Well, I left my soul out in the rain,
Lord, what a price I've had to pay.
The storms of life are washin' me away.

An old mail pouch, tobacco sign
Fadin' on the barn,
Bringin' back sweet memories of Mama's farm
When love was just a country girl that lived on down the road.
Spoken: you know, she almost had me turned around,
But that was years ago.

I'd better change my wandrin ways,
I know I've seen my better days,
Always gettin' high when I get low.
Well, I left my soul out in the rain,
Lord, what a price I've had to pay.
The storms of life are washin' me away.
Yeah, the storms of life are washin' me away.

you're spreadin lies all over town about the way you brushed me off and put me
down i'm her to say make no mistake my heart cracked but it did not break I
cant deny the hurt was deep the way you slammed that door and walked right out
on me but im telling you get one thing straight my heart cracked but it did not
break shatterd dreams lay every where broken promises are all we share I
finally took all I could take my heart cacked but it did not break well i was
blue but for long cause this brand new love i got has made me strong and I'm
over you and all the ache my heart cracked but it did not break shattered
dreams lay everywhere broken promises are all we share I finally took all I
could take mty heart cracked but it did not break

Well last night I dug your picture out from our old dresser drawer
I set it on the table and I talked to it til four
Then I read some old love letters right up til the break of dawn
Well tonight I'm sittin alone diggin up bones

I'm a diggin up bones
Exhuming things that's better left alone
I'm resurrecting memories of a love that's dead and gone
Well tonight I'm sittin alone diggin up bones

Then I went through the closet and I found some things in there
Like that pretty lingerie that I bought you to wear
Then I recalled how good you looked each time you had it on
Well tonight I'm sittin alone diggin up bones

Then I went through the jewelry and I found our wedding rings
I put mine on my finger and I gave yours a fling
Across this lonely bedroom of our recent broken home
Well tonight I'm sittin alone diggin up bones

I'm a diggin up bones
Exhuming things that's better left alone
I'm resurrecting memories of a love that's dead and gone
Well tonight I'm sittin alone diggin up bones

Well there's my easy chair
Just sittin' there
I've spent a lot of time
Thinkin' of this perfect love
I know is yours and mine

And oh how I love
That old picture on the wall
Of you and me and the kids
My most favorite times in life
I've spent right here where we live

There's no place like home
There's no place like home
It just hit me
As I was leaving
There's no place like home

From the bedroom
I smell perfume
My favorite kind your wore
And it brings back memories
Of all those nights
Behind our bedroom door

And the saddest thing
I think I've ever seen
Was my closet all cleaned out
It's sad to think
That one must leave
Cause we can't work things out

There's no place like home
There's no place like home
It just hit me
As I was leaving
There's no place like home

So baby say that I can stay
For just a day or so
Then maybe I can change your mind
And I won't have to go

Just look into
These baby blues
And tell me it's okay
I love that smile
It drives me wild
No love won't die today

There's no place like home
There's no place like home

Operator please connect me with Nineteen-Eighty Two
I need to make apologies for what I didn't do
I sure do need to tell her that I thought the whole thing through
And now it's clear that she is what - I should have held onto.

They say hindsight's 20-20 but I'm nearly goin' blind
From starin' at her photograph and wishing she was mine
It's that same old lost love story - it's sad but it's true
There was a time when she was mine in Nineteen-Eighty-Two.

Postman can you sell me - a special kind of stamp
One to send a letter from this crazy lonely man
Back into the wasted years of my living past
I need to tell her, now I know - how long my love will last.

They say hindsight's 20-20 but I'm nearly goin' blind
From starin' at her photograph and wishing she was mine
It's that same old lost love story - it's sad but it's true
There was a time when she was mine in Nineteen-Eighty-Two.

Losing my mind, going back in time - to Nineteen-Eighty Two.

The judge found me guilty of wrong doing
And sentaced me to hang in mid-July
He said to me "Your lifes a ruin"
"If I was you I'd breake right down a cry"

Well, Nobody seems to care I ain't guilty
I never did the things they said I've done

But I guess they have to hang somebody
And It's looking like I'm gonna be the one

So send my body home on a freight trian
Don't worry none if I don't go 1st class
Send my body home of a fright train
So everyone can see me when I pass

Don't worry none about no fancy funeral
Cause it don't matter how they lay me down
Just see they bury me out by Mama's Apple Tree
and send my body back to my home town

My Mama was a damm ahrd working woman
and she tried to raise he kids without a fault
The last thing sh said, she was on her dying bed was "Son, on't get in trouble with the law"



When the time comes to meet my maker
I'm gonna try my very best
to take it like a man
When they ask if I have one request

I'll just say "send my body home on a freight trian
Don't worry none if I don't go 1st class
Send my body home of a fright train
So everyone can see me when I pass"

"Don't worry none about no fancy funeral
Cause it don't matter how they lay me down
Just see they bury me out by Mama's Apple Tree
and send my body back to my home town"

I said one thing i'd never do was care or hang around for too long anywhere I
could always move ahead with nothing left behind then you started messin with
my mind This town was just another place to play have some fun then be on my
way you were just another way for me pass some time then you started messin
with my mind CHORUS I cant believe how much my mind has changed or the way my
life's been rearanged I swore one thing I'd never do was be to stay inclined
then you started messin with my mind The first in line for party time was me
always the last to leave or try to be I never thought I'd wanna change I suited
me just fine then you started messin with my mind CHORUS

A working day to long when everything goes wrong
And a boss who don't know I'm alive

I once had a notion I'd get that promotion, but now I barley survive
A wife to demanding with no understanding
Of why I stay dead on my feet

A dimly lit tavern a willing young woman
Are some of the reasons I cheat
The hair that I'm losing and a women who's choosing
To lay sound asleep by my side
The bills they are mounting that's when I start counting
On someone to help sooth my pride

A lady that knows me affection she shows me and a smile so easy and sweet
The dreams that I've buried the load that I've carried
Are some of the reasons I cheat

My children keep on growing me age keeps on showing
Like all of my old friends I meet
So I'm getting older my life's growing colder
Just some of the reasons I cheat
Yes I'm getting older my life's growing colder
Just some of the reasons I cheat

There may no be a Superbowl in 2083
Cars and trains and video games will all be history
The world just keeps on changing, things come and then they go
Nothing lasts forever except one thing I know

There'll always be a honky tonk
With a jukebox in the corner
And someone crying in their beer
And one old hanger-oner
And a lady looking lonely
From a losing love affair
Yeah there'll always be a honky tonk somewhere
Yeah there'll always be a honky tonk somewhere

There may be factories on the moon and farming out in space
It seems there's nothing here on earth
That something won't replace
But as long as there's a broken heart there'll be a place to go
Where good ole boys meet good ole girls
And the wine and music flow
