I still feel 25, most of the time. I still raise a little cain with the boys. Honky tonks and pretty women. Lord I'm still right there with them. Singing above the crowd and the noise.
Sometimes I feel like Jesse James, Still trying to make a name. Knowing nothing's gonna change what I am. I was a young troubadour, when I rode in on a song. And I'll be an old troubadour, when I'm gone.
Well, The truth about a mirror, It's that a damned old mirror, Don't really tell the whole truth. It don't show what's deep inside, or read between the lines, it's really no reflection of my youth.
Sometimes I feel like Jesse James, Still trying to make a name. Knowing nothing's gonna change what I am. I was a young troubadour, when I rode in on a song. And I'll be an old troubadour, when I'm gone.
I was a young troubadour, when I rode in on a song. I'll be an old troubadour, when I'm gone. I'll be an old troubadour, when I'm gone.
The first time I met her, she walked right up to me. And said, "You're who I wanted to find." There was a man she had seen in her dreams. And it was me.
She said, "I can't believe it. 'Cause I've never been in here, And I've passed this place so many times." It was her night to find destiny, And it was me.
And we danced every song that they played, and talked until closing time. The closer I held her, The more I knew her destiny. Wasn't that far from mine.
Than I saw a reflection of someone unfamiliar. Looking back when I looked in her eyes. The happiest man I'd ever seen, And it was me.
And we danced every song that they played, and talked until closing time. The closer I held her, The more I knew her destiny. Wasn't that far from mine.
She wasn't looking, and I wasn't looking. Ain't it funny? That's when love was found. She still calls it her lucky night, Yeah, someone was lucky. she's right, but it was me. It was me.
Diamonds on the windshield,as heaven starts to cry. In his rearview mirror, his angel waves goodbye. She knows he's got to go, she knows he's one of them.
Brothers of the highway, children of the wind. That detroit diesel pirate ship goes rollin' out again, Sailin for that settin' sun, freedom's your best friend. Brothers of the highway, children of the wind.
He puts the pedel to the metal,trying to outta run the rain, Another shot of truck stop coffee, goes runnin through his vains, This country turns on eighteen wheels, thank god we can depend, on

Hey baby, won't you take a little ride with me Have a look around See what we can see I've got the paddle I've got the boat Come on baby, I know she'll float
We'll go rowing on the river of love Let's go rowing on the river of love
Drift away from all these city lights Might rock a little bit So hold on tight Let's get carried away with the gentle flow Might get caught up in it's undertow
We'll go rowing on the river of love Let's go rowing on the river of love
I got a little ukulele, let me sing you a song Got a stream of kisses about ten miles long Dancing on the water in the moonlight beach Sparkling down through the sea of dreams
We'll go rowing on the river of love Let's go rowing on the river of love
We'll go rowing on the river of love Let's go rowing on the river of love
River of love, River of love, River of love Rowing on the river of love Let's go rowing, rowing on the river of love Let's go rowing on the river of love Rowing on the river of love Rowing on the river of love Let's go rowing, rowing on the river of love
Well the house of cash just burned down, All the way to the cold hard ground, The Doctors came from all over town, To see the memories scattered all around. Then the stars came out by the light of day. And they heard their old friend passed away. That Yard looked like a funeral hall. Without the pies and casseroles
Well, it's goodbye Johnny, goodbye June, And goodbye fancy livin' room Well no one sleeps in Cash's bed Except the man in black and the woman he wed
And the ring of fire comes full circle And the ring of fire comes all the way 'round And the ring of fire comes full circle And the ring of fire comes all the way 'round
Man if those ashes in the pool could talk, To the anchorman out on the walk
I just walked down the street to the coffee shop had to take a break I'd been by her side for eighteen hours straight I saw a flower growing in the middle of the sidewalk pushing up through the concrete like it was planted right there for me to see the flashin' lights, the honkin' horns all seemed to fade away in the shadow of that hospital at 5:08 I saw God today
I've been to church I've read the book I know he's here, but I don't look near as often as I should Yeah, I know I should His fingerprints are everywhere I'd just slow down to stop and stare opened my eyes and man I swear I saw God today
I saw a couple walking by they were holding hands Man, she had that glow yeah I couldn't help but notice she was starting to show it stood there for a minute takin' the sky lost in that sunset a splash of amber melted in the shades of red
I've been to church I've read the book I know he's here, but I don't look near as often as I should Yeah, I know I should His fingerprints are everywhere I'd just slow down to stop and stare opened my eyes and man I swear I saw God today
I got my face pressed up against the nursery glass She's sleeping like a rock My name on her wrist wearing tiny pink socks She's got my nose, she's got her mama's eyes My brand new baby girl She's a miracle I saw God today
A banker and a farmer discuss the bottom line It ain't rained and all the crops are dying vine Give me more time You gotta give me more time
That farm has been in my family going on a hundred years We pulled through hard times before with blood, sweat and tears Give me more time I need more time
O what would he give for a little more time?
Two lovers at a table, candle, light and wine One's looking for an answer, the other one can't find Give me more time You gotta give me more time
She says you know I love you, but my heart's in a bind afraid you're gonna leave me if I don't amke up my mind Give me more time I gotta have more time
Some have barely any, some too much on their hands Some would give anything to have it back again
The patient and his doctor meet behind closed doors You're kiddin' me, how could this be? I'm only twenty-four Give me more time You gotta give me more time
Don't go in the summertime It's too hot, and the rooms are high But if you go in the fall you'll have a ball There's so much to see and do When you're in love
There's an old hotel right on the beach Romantic rooms you won't want to leave But take my word take a stroll into town There's so much, to see and do When you're in love
Don't miss Jamaica Joe's you can dine Al fresco Then dance in the street 'til the sun comes up You can take a barefoot cruise Share a moonlight made for two There's so little time and so much, to see and do When you're in love
Be sure and take, lots of pictures when you're there Be sure and make, lots of memories trust me
Don't go in the summertime It's too hot and the rooms are high But if you go in the fall you'll have a ball There's so much, to see and do When you're in love

I'm on my way to Amarillo I can't seem to get my fill of that Little west Texas Town I've got a sweet thing built, right Betty Head to toe, shes mighty pretty Living in that west Texas town
Friday comes, it's time to roll Time for me to hit the road I've got my eyes on the horizon My little dish in that panhandle Lights up like a Roman Candle When I reach that west Texas town Ah, sing it Dean
From Big Spring all the way to Plainview I can't wait to get to you know who In that west Tesas town I drive through hell and half of Texas Just to get to her by breakfast Waiting in the west Texas town

Baby, turn the porch light on Your big Poppa's coming home To that west Texas town Awwww...
I was there in my trailer, Down at the job site The day that this stranger walked in His face looked so sad, and he carried a set of blueprints And as I unrolled them, the first thing I noticed Was there were no doors in the plans He said if you build this for me Then when she comes back She'll never be able to leave me again
I said if I did And she ever came back Friend, tell me how would she get in It would just be a prison that I locked you in If you couldn't leave You'd never know if there was someone to love you The way that she didn't before There's two things that I know for sure It's that you can't make a women feel something she don't And you can't build a house with no doors
O'while he was quiet, I could tell he was thinking I thought I just ruined his day I just couldn't bear to see this man's last hope slip away So I thought real fast, and I started talking Said Buddy we tried this before, And if there ain't one, she'll make one Either way she'll run And leave you a house with a hole for a door
I said if I did And she ever came back Friend, tell me how would she get in It would just be a prison that I locked you in If you couldn't leave You'd never know if there was someone to love you The way that she didn't before If there's two things that I know for sure It's that you can't make a women feel something she don't And you can't build a house with no doors
No, you can't make a women feel something she don't And you can't build a house with no doors'
Been in the saddle since the sun came up Rounding up strays in, this ol' West Texas dust She's been packing her things since I put coffee on By sundown, she'll be gone
Damn this ol' girth, worn right in two But a spare length of leather, and I'll make it do Just when I think I've got life by the reins, Home ain't sweet home on the range
If heartaches were horses and hard times were cattle I'd ride home at sunset, sitting tall in the saddle If heartaches were horses and hard time were cattle
And she'd say she loved me and this cowboy way of life She'd be right beside me when we rode home tonight
If heartaches were horses and hard times were cattle I'd ride home at sunset, sitting tall in the saddle
