He said I'll love you 'til I die
she told him you'll forget in time And as the years went slowly by she still preyed upon his mind He kept her picture on his wall went half crazy now and then he still loved her through it all Hoping she'd come back again |

I'VE AGED TWENTY YEARS IN FIVE
WRITERS B. PARRISH, C. GORDON As I look in the mirror this morning On some dirty old restroom wall It took a while to realize it's really me there inside 'Cause I've aged twenty years in five. I recall when I looked much younger And it wasn't so long ago But one night of drinking to four nights of wine And you'll age twenty years in five. Chorus: I've aged twenty years in five I've seen the dark side of life From a mansion on a hill To straight whiskey from a still And you'll age twenty years in five. Before the bottle I played my music On the road with a five piece band And with the pressures of the game I drank up fortune and fame And I aged twenty year in five. Oh, but I'll change this way I've been living Or I'll be gone before my time I'll climb back to the top And with my friends I won't stop Till I erase twenty years in five. Yes, I'll erase twenty years in five... |

You and I don't need an introduction
Neither one of us has that much to lose 'Cause you're just a sister to satisfaction And I'm just a brother to the blues Now I don't have to tell you nights are lonely There's a hunger in our eyes that tells the news And you're just a sister to satisfaction And I'm just a brother to the blues It's hard to tell exactly which direction We might go at any given time It's just a constant search for affection And we need all the comfort we can find I know you can feel this attraction From a night of love that both of us could use 'Cause you're just a sister to satisfaction And I'm just a brother to the blues Yes, you're just a sister to satisfaction And I'm just a brother to the blues... |

> The bars are all closed
It's four in the morning Must have shut 'em all down By the shape that I'm in I lay my head on the wheel And the horn begins honking The whole neighborhood knows That I'm home drunk again [Chorus] And if drinking don't kill me Her memory will I can't hold out much longer The way that I feel With the blood from my body I could start my own still And if drinking don't kill me Her memory will These wild old bones they move slow But so sure of their footsteps As I trip on the floor And lightly touch down Lord it's been ten bottles Since I tried to forget her But the memory still lingers Lying here on the ground [Chorus] |

I've always said someday
I was gonna leave you. Some April when all the land is wet. Some spring, summer, fall or maybe winter. I'll leave someday but I'm not ready yet. I know I should of left the day I knew your love was dyeing. But I passed up every date That I ever set. But I know I'll leave When my heart tells me it's ready. But I'm still around, but I'm not ready yet. (Spoken) Yah know I must have left you a hundred times but you don't know that. 'Cause I was afraid you'd laugh when you found out just how far I'd get. But you didn't, and you don't. I know you aint gonna ever. And someday I'll go, but I'm not ready yet. I know I should of left the day I knew your love was dyeing. But I passed up every date That I ever set. But I know I'll leave When my heart tells me Lord willing But I'm still around, but I'm not ready yet. But I'm still around, 'Cause I'm not ready yet. |

A long time forgotten
Are dreams that just fell by the way. And the good life he promised Ain't what she's living today. But she never complains Of the bad times or bad things he's done, Lord. She just talks about the good times they've had And all the good times to come. She's a good-hearted woman In love with a good-timin' man. She loves him in spite of his ways That she don't understand. Through teardrops and laughter, They'll pass through this world hand in hand, A good-hearted woman Lovin' her good-timin' man. He likes the night life, The bright lights, and good-timin' friends. When the party's all over, She'll welcome him back home again. Lord knows she don't understand him, But she does the best that she can. 'Cause she's a good-hearted woman; She loves her good-timin' man. She's a good-hearted woman In love with a good-timin' man. She loves him in spite of his ways That she don't understand. Through teardrops and laughter, They'll pass through this world hand in hand, A good-hearted woman Lovin' her good-timin' man. |

Baby wants me to go cold turkey, bone dry
No Jack Daniels, no Jim Beam whiskey, bone dry No stoppin' after work for a beer with the guys Nothin' in the mornin' to open my eyes It's hard comin' down from a permanent high, bone dry I got my doubts if I can make it, a bone dry It's a crazy world I don't know if I can take it, a bone dry It's only been an hour, I'm startin' to shake Sixty more minutes and I know I'll break How much more of this hell can I take? Bone dry Well, bone dry, boy, am I dry as a bone? How'd I ever say I'd ever leave it alone? Break down, shake down layin' in bed Covers are soaked and I'm damn near dead and I'm bone dry Baby took a look at her cold turkey, bone dry I tried to smile but my mouth wasn't working I was bone dry This is one promise that I'm gonna keep Unless I get lucky and die in my sleep One way or the other I'm gonna be bone dry Well, bone dry, boy, am I dry as a bone? How'd I ever say I'd ever leave it alone? Break down, shake down layin' in bed Covers are soaked and I'm damn near dead Bone dry, bone dry, bone dry, bone dry |

I Just Turned out the Lights upstairs, I told you goodnight once again.
Oh, but I did not hear you whisper a word, you must be sleeping, so I won't come in. I told the kids to be quieter, mommy needs her rest, how much silence this house must I find. Why I even, fixed supper, oh but nobody showed up. I'm alone now, it's been all in my mind. Yes, it's all in my mind you've left nothin' behind I just sit here and dig up all the memories I can find I'll just turn on that old TV, Hon' while you pour the wine (I love you), but it's all in my mind. >>Instrumental |
