I can't remember when you weren't there
When I didn't care for anyone but you I swear we've been through everything there is Can't imagine anything we've missed Can't imagine anything the two of us can't do Through the years, you've never let me down You turned my life around, the sweetest days I've found I've found with you ... through the years I've never been afraid, I've loved the life we've made And I'm so glad I've stayed, right here with you Through the years I can't remember what I used to do Who I trusted, whom I listened to before I swear you've taught me everything I know Can't imagine needing someone so But through the years it seems to me I need you more and more Through the years, through all the good and bad I knew how much we had, I've always been so glad To be with you ... through the years It's better every day, you've kissed my tears away As long as it's okay, I'll stay with you Through the years Through the years, when everything went wrong Together we were strong, I know that I belonged Right here with you ... through the years I never had a doubt, we'd always work things out I've learned what love's about, by loving you Through the years Through the years, you've never let me down You've turned my life around, the sweetest days I've found I've found with you ... through the years It's better everyday, you've kissed my tears away As long as it's okay, I'll stay with you Through the years! |

And he'll tell her he's working late again
But she knows too well there's something going on She's been neglected, and she needs a friend So her trembling fingers dial the telephone Lord, it hurts her doing this again He's the best friend that her husband ever knew When she's lonely, he's more than just a friend He's the one she longs to give her body to Daytime friends and nighttime lovers Hoping no one else discovers Where they go, what they do, in their secret hideaway Daytime friends and nighttime lovers They don't want to hurt the others So they love in the nighttime And shake hands in the light of day When it's over, there's no peace of mind Just a longing for the way things should have been And she wonders why some men never find That a woman needs a lover and a friend Daytime friends and nighttime lovers Hoping no one else discovers Where they go, what they do, in their secret hideaway Daytime friends and nighttime lovers They don't want to hurt the others So they love in the nighttime And shake hands in the light of day Daytime friends and nighttime lovers Hoping no one else discovers Where they go, what they do, in their secret hideaway Daytime friends and nighttime lovers They don't want to hurt the others So they love in the nighttime And shake hands in the light of day Daytime friends and nighttime lovers Hoping no one else discovers Where they go, what they do, in their secret hideaway Daytime friends and nighttime lovers They don't want to hurt the others So they love in the nighttime And shake hands in the light of day |

All my life was a paper once plain, pure and white
Till you moved with your pen changing moods now and then Till the balance was right Then you added some music, every note was in place And anybody could see all the changes in me by the look on my face And you decorated my life, created a world where dreams are a part And you decorated my life by painting your love all over my heart You decorated my life Like a rhyme with no reason in an unfinished song There was no harmony life meant nothin' to me, until you came along And you brought out the colors, what a gentle surprise Now I'm able to see all the things life can be shining soft in your eyes And you decorated my life, created a world where dreams are a part And you decorated my life by painting your love all over my heart You decorated my life |

Evryone considered him the coward of the county.
Hed never stood one single time to prove the county wrong. His mama named him tommy, the folks just called him yellow, But something always told me they were reading tommy wrong. He was only ten years old when his daddy died in prison. I looked after tommy cause he was my brothers son. I still recall the final words my brother said to tommy: Son, my life is over, but yours is just begun. Promise me, son, not to do the things Ive done. Walk away from trouble if you can. It wont mean youre weak if you turn the other cheek. I hope youre old enough to understand: Son, you dont have to fight to be a man. Theres someone for evryone and tommys love was becky. In her arms he didnt have to prove he was a man. One day while he was workin the gatlin boys came callin. They took turns at becky.... there was three of them! Tommy opened up the door and saw his becky cryin. The torn dress, the shattered look was more than he could stand. He reached above the fireplace and took down his daddys picture. As his tears fell on his daddys face, he heard these words again: Promise me, son, not to do the things Ive done. Walk away from trouble if you can. It wont mean youre weak if you turn the other cheek. I hope youre old enough to understand: Son, you dont have to fight to be a man. The gatlin boys just laughed at him when he walked into the barroom. One of them got up and met him halfway cross the floor. When tommy turned around they said, hey look! ol yellows leavin. But you coulda heard a pin drop when tommy stopped and blocked the door. Twenty years of crawlin was bottled up inside him. He wasnt holdin nothin back; he let em have it all. When tommy left the barroom not a gatlin boy was standin. He said, this ones for becky, as he watched the last one fall. And I heard him say, I promised you, dad, not to do the things you done. I walk away from trouble when I can. Now please dont think Im weak, I didnt turn the other cheek, And papa, I sure hope you understand: Sometimes you gotta fight when youre a man. Evryone considered him the coward of the county. |

It's an ill wind that blows no good
And it's a sad heart that won't love like it should Oh, how lonesome you must be, and it's a shame If you don't share your love with me. It's a heartache when love is gone And it can get even worse if it keeps on Blinder than he who won't see, and it's a shame If you don't share your love with me. I can't help it if she is gone You must try to forget, you must live on It's a good thing to love someone But it's bad and even sad when it's not returned. Oh, how lonesome you must be and it's a shame If you don't share your love with me And I said it's a shame If you don't share your love with me... |

While she lays sleeping, I stay out late at night and play my songs
And sometimes all the nights can be so long And it's good when I finally make it home, all alone While she lays dreaming, I try to get undressed without the light And quietly she says how was your night? And I come to her and say, it was all right, and I hold her tight And she believes in me, I'll never know just what she sees in me I told her someday if she was my girl, I could change the world With my little songs, I was wrong But she has faith in me, and so I go on trying faithfully And who knows maybe on some special night, if my song is right I will find a way, find a way... While she lays waiting, I stumble to the kitchen for a bite Then I see my old guitar in the night Just waiting for me like a secret friend, and there's no end While she lays crying, I fumble with a melody or two And I'm torn between the things that I should do And she says to wake her up when I am through, God her love is true... And she believes in me, I'll never know just what she sees in me I told her someday if she was my girl, I could change the world With my little songs, I was wrong But she has faith in me, and so I go on trying faithfully And who knows maybe on some special night, if my song is right I will find a way, while she waits... while she waits for me for me! |

In a bar in Toledo across from the depot
On a bar stool she took off her ring I thought I'd get closer so I walked on over I sat down and asked her name When the drinks finally hit her she said I'm no quitter But I finally quit livin' on dreams I'm hungry for laughter and here ever after I'm after what-ever the other life brings In the mirror I saw him and I closely watched him I thought how he looked out of place He came to the woman who sat there beside me Had a strange look on his face The big hands were calloused he looked like a mountain For a minute I thought I was dead But he started shaking his big heart was breaking He turned to the woman and said You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille With four hungry children and a crop in the field I've had some bad times lived through some sad times But this time your hurting won't heal You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille After he left us I ordered more whisky I thought how she'd made him look small From the lights of the bar room to a rented hotel room We walked without talking at all She was a beauty but when she came to me She must have thought I'd lost my mind I couldn't hold her 'cos the words that he told her Kept coming back time after time You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille .... |

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
You've been out ridin fences for so long now Oh and you're a hard one, but I know that you've got your reasons The things that are pleasin' you, can hurt you somehow. Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy, she'll beat you if she's able You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table But you only want the ones you can't get. Desperado, you ain't gettin' no younger Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home And freedom, oh freedom, well that's just some people talkin' Your prison is walking through this world all alone. Don't your feet get cold in the wintertime The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine It's hard to tell the nighttime from the day And you're losin' all your highs and lows Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away? Desperado, why don't you come to your senses Come down from your fences- open the gates It may be rainin, but there's a rainbow above you You'd better let somebody love you, let somebody love you. You'd better let somebody love you Before it's too late... |
