I know I've disappeared a time or two
Along the way I lost me and you I needed a new town for my new start I'm sellin' VCRs in Arkansas at a Walmart I haven't had a drink in 19 days My eyes are clear and bright with-out that haze I like the preacher from the Church of Christ I'm sorry that I cried when I talked to you last night I think I'm on a roll Here in Little Rock I'm solid as a stone Wait and see I got just one small problem Here in Little Rock Without you Baby I'm not me Without you Baby I'm not me I don't know why I held it all inside You must've thought I never even tried You know your daddy told me when I left Jesus would forgive, but a daddy don't forget Lyin' here upon this motel bed Thoughts of you explode within my head Like a castle built upon the sand I let love crumble in my hand |

Every time I see a woman on a billboard sign
I think about you Saying "drink this beer and you'll be mine" I think about you When an actress on a movie screen Plays Lolita in some old man's dreams It doesn't matter who she is I think about you When I see a pretty woman walking down the street I think about you Men look her up and down like she's some kind of treat I think about you She wouldn't dare talk to a stranger always has to be aware of the danger it doesn't matter who she is I think about [Chorus:] You eight years old big blue eyes and a heart of gold when I look at this world, I think about You and I can't help but see that every woman used to be Somebody's little girl, I think about you Every time I hear people say it's never gonna change I think about you Like it's some kind of joke, some kind of game I think about you When I see a woman on the news who didn't ask to be abandoned or abused it doesn't matter who she is I think about [Chorus] When I look at this world I think about you |

She said we're much too different
We're from two separate worlds And he admitted she was partly right But in his heart's defense he told her What they had in common Was strong enough to bond them for life He said look behind your own soul And the person that you'll see Just might remind you of me I laugh, I love, I hope, I try I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry And I know you do the same things, too So we're really not that different, me and you She could hardly argue With his pure and simple logic But logic never could convince a heart She had always dreamed of loving someone more exotic And he just didn't seem to fit the part So she searched for greener pastures But never could forget What he whispered when she left I laugh, I love, I hope, I try I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry And I know you do the same things, too So we're really not that different, me and you Was it time or was it truth Maybe both lead her back to his door As her tears fell at his feet She didn't say "I love you" What she said meant even more I laugh, I love, I hope, I try I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry And I know you do the same things, too So we're really not that different, me and you |

I came in as the sun came up.
She glared at me over her coffee cup. She said: "Where you been?" so I thought real hard, And said: "I fell asleep in that hammock in the yard." She said: "You don't know it boy but you just blew it." An' I said: "Well that's my story and I'm stickin' to it." "That's my story. "Oh, that's my story. "Well, I ain't got a witness and I can't prove it. "But that's my story and I'm stickin' to it." I got that deer in the headlight look. She read my face like the cover of a book. And said: "Don't expect me to believe all that static, "'cause just last week, I threw that hammock in the attic." My skin got so thin you could see right through it. And I stuttered: "Well that's my story and I'm stickin' to it." "That's my story." (That's my story.) "Oh, that's my story." (That's my story.) "Yeah, I ain't got a witness and I can't prove it, "But that's my story and I'm stickin' to it." You know the time comes when a wise man knows The best thing that he can do is just look her in the eye And beg for mercy and face the bitter truth. "Well honey, me and the boys played cards all night, "There wasn't no hanky panky, not a woman in sight. "And I know I shoulda called and, baby, I'm real sorry. "Let's get a cellular phone and then you won't have to worry. "You know how much I love you and darlin' I'm ready to prove it. "And that's my story and I'm stickin' to it. "That's my story." (That's my story.) "Oh, that's my story." (That's my story.) "Yeah, I ain't got a witness and I can't prove it, "But that's my story and I'm stickin' to it." "You know I ain't gonna do a thing, "Darlin', unless you approve it. "Well that's my story and I'm stickin' to it." |

You want to know where we go from here
So many roads but none that seem clear Is what we have enough to last a whole life through Who knows baby who knows So you're asking me what do we do Cause time moves so fast and the chances seem so few Is it too much to think that we could have it all Who knows we may never know But if I were you I'd promise to live life for all it's worth Take all that you've been given and leave your mark upon this earth Trust your heart to show you everything you'll ever need And if I were you I'd fall in love with me So hold me close I'll kiss away your fears I won't promise the moon but I promise to be here And what if together it gets better every day Who knows baby who knows But if I were you I'd promise to But if I were you I'd promise to, If I were you I'd fall in love with me |

He finally gave in to his friend's girlfriend
When she said, "there's someone you should meet" At a crowded restaurant way cross town He waited impatiently She walked in their eyes met and they both stared And right there and then everyone else disappeared, but One boy, one girl, two hearts beating wildly To put it mildly it was love at first sight He smiled, she smiled and they knew right away This was the day they'd waited for all their lives For a moment the whole world revolved Around one boy, and one girl In no time at all they were standing there In the front of a little church Among their friends and family Repeating those sacred words Preacher said, "Son, kiss your bride", and he raised her veil Like the night they met time just stood still for One boy, one girl, two hearts beating wildly To put it mildly it was love at first sight He smiled, she smiled and they knew right away This was the day they'd waited for all their lives For a moment the whole world revolved Around one boy and one girl He was holding her hand when the doctor looked up and grinned "Congratulations, twins" One boy, one girl, two hearts beating wildly To put it mildly it was love at first sight He smiled, she smiled and they knew right away This was the day they'd waited for all their lives And for a moment the whole world revolved Around one boy and one girl |

For all I've been blessed with in this life
There was an emptiness in me I was imprisoned by the power of gold But one honest touch could set me free Let the world stop turnin' Let the sun stop burnin' Let them tell me love's not worth going through If i |

When I saw you buyin' Cosmo and a Hot Rod magazine
I said to myself now there's a girl for me And when I asked you to go for a ride You stole my heart when you said if I can drive I said how bout some music you said you got any Merle That's when I knew you were my kind of girl And when we started talking I could not believe my ears You said you were a Braves fan even through the rotten years You quoted William Faulkner and Martin Luther King You said your favorite movie star would always be James Dean And when we went to dinner you wore blue jeans with your pearls That's when I knew you were my kind of girl You march to the beat of a different drum The funny thing is that I hear the same one We both like to color outside of the lines We're peas in a pod girl we're two of a kind Yeah you march to the beat of a different drum I said I think I love you you said what's not to love I thought about a kiss but I wasn't quick enough I guess while I was thinkin' you were readin' my mind Cause you wrapped your arms around me and you pressed your lips to mine You sent my head a spinnin just like a tilt-a-whirl That's when I knew you were my kind of girl You sent my head a spinning just like a tilt-a-whirl That's when I knew you were my kind of girl (My kind my kind of girl my kind my kind of girl) |

I've seen that look before,
here comes that doubt again. You think that girl we saw, was more than just a friend. Yes, there was a time I thought she had it all. She meant the world to me, back when the world was small. That was a river, this is the ocea |

She met him down at the laundry mat
Three a.m. on a washing machine they sat And talked until dawn He bought her breakfast at a small caf??짤 Morning turned to the rest of the day Then the day was gone He thought that she'd surely run away A fairy tale never started this way, but [Chorus:] It ain't the mind that calls the shots round here A stronger power's pulled to bodies near Nothing on Earth can interfere When love is what the heart wants They made a wish on the evening star From a rooftop high above the boulevard Up in the twilight sky He held her hand, she held her breath Two lonely hearts beating scared to death Of a chance to fly Giving in to the arms of fate This isn't quite like the plans that they made, but [Chorus: x3] Oh Nothing on Earth can interfere When love is |

Winter snow is falling down, children laughing all around.
Lights are turnin' on, like a fairy tale come true. Sitting by the fire we made, you're the answer when I prayed I would find some one, and baby I found you. And all I want is to hold you forever |

Lying beside you.
Here in the dark Feeling your heart beat With mine Softly you whisper You're so sincere How could our love Be so blind We sailed on together We drifted apart And here you are by my side So now I come to you With open arms Nothing to hide Believe what I say So here I am With open arms Hoping you'll see What your love means to me Open arms Living without you Living alone This empty house seems so cold Wanting to hold you Wanting you near How much I wanted you home But now that you've come back Turned night into day I need you to stay So now I come to you With open arms Nothing to hide Believe what I say So here I am With open arms Hoping you'll see What your love means to me Open arms |

The note said, you've had time to think about it
Looks like to me you're feelin' kinda crowded You're not lookin' for anything permanent here So my Rodeo's packed and in goodbye gear So I shot down to the Longhorn Diner Her sister works there and she'd know where to find her She said, you didn't hear it from me All I'll say is mama's got that place out in Monterrey Oh, how fast can I go, gotta catch that little red Rodeo She drove off with my heart, I've gotta let her know I need the girl in that little red Rodeo Texas plates, candy apple red Rodeo Two towns back I showed your photograph And the gas station man just started to laugh She said I might see you in this bucket of rust And said good luck boy, just follow that cloud of dust Oh, how fast can I go, gotta catch that little red Rodeo She drove off with my heart, I've gotta let her know I need the girl in that little red Rodeo Texas plates, candy apple red Rodeo Maybe I was straddling the fence just like she said It took her leaving to get it through my head She's the one and only, it's over, that's it I'm committed, I'm in love and I'm desperate She's a good ways gone but I'm closin' the gap If I have to I'll chase her clear across the map Oh, how fast can I go, gotta catch that little red Rodeo She drove off with my heart, I've gotta let her know I need the girl in that little red Rodeo Texas plates, candy apple red Rodeo |

I read a note my grandma wrote back in nineteen twenty-three.
Grandpa kept it in his coat, and he showed it once to me. He said, "Boy, you might not understand, but a long, long time ago, Grandma's daddy didn't like me none, but I loved your Grandma so." We had this crazy plan to meet and run away together. Get married in the first town we came to, and live forever. But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet, instead Of her, I found this letter, and this is what it said: If you get there before I do, don't give up on me. I'll meet you when my chores are through; I don't know how long I'll be. But I'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see. And between now and then, till I see you again, I'll be loving you. Love, me. I read those words just hours before my Grandma passed away, In the doorway of a church where me and Grandpa stopped to pray. I know I'd never seen him cry in all my fifteen years; But as he said these words to her, his eyes filled up with tears. If you get there before I do, don't give up on me. I'll meet you when my chores are through, I don't know how long I'll be. But I'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see. And between now and then, till I see you again, I'll be loving you. Love, me. Between now and then, till I see you again, I'll be loving you. Love, me. |
