I woke up this morning to the humming of the engines
Hauling nature's finest from the Gulf of Mexico Ridin' this ol' river is peaceful but it's lonesome It makes wonder how the old folks are at home Now the years have blown by me like the wind through the pines But the song of the south is ever sweet as homemade wine Oh how I miss those mountains when the Laurels are in bloom And the southern stars are dancin' 'round a North Carolina moon Just rolled through Memphis I could hear them guitar's a playing They had the blues so bad it almost broke my heart Don't sound nothing like a band of tree frogs singing When every now and then they'd get in tune with grandpa's harp Now the years have blown by me like the wind through the pines But the song of the south is ever sweet as homemade wine Oh how I miss those mountains when the Laurels are in bloom And the southern stars are dancin' 'round a North Carolina moon When I die boys make me this promise You'll send my body back up North Carolina way I don't want no tombstone just lay me next to mama And let the honeysuckle grow wild upon my grave Now the years have blown by me like the wind through the pines But the song of the south is ever sweet as homemade wine Oh how I miss those mountains when the Laurels are in bloom And the southern stars are dancin' 'round a North Carolina moon) |

There's a light that keeps on shinning
And it shines until my eyes are sore There's a thought I keep on thinkin' I guess I'll think it 'til I can't think no more It goes baby won't you love me I can't do it by myself It's too big a job you see It's gonna take somebody else There's a bottle I keep on drinkin' Guess I'll drink until it's gone There's a song I keep on singin' Guess I'll sing it all night long It goes baby won't you love me I can't do it by myself It's too big a job you see It's gonna take somebody else I keep staring at her picture Guess I'll stare until it fades away There's a letter I keep writing But I don't know what to say It goes baby won't you love me I can't do it by myself It's too big a job you see It's gonna take somebody else |

Used to think in circles get all tangled up inside
One day I finally came unwound I jumped off the deep end to get a bird's eye point of view And it's a long way down It's a long, it's a long way down It's a long, it's a long way down If you ever get confused, you don't know where to turn Go check with the lost and found And you'll find yourself at the end of your own rope And it's a long way down It's a long, it's a long way down It's a long, it's a long way down But these days I'm flying high I'm walking on the wind I'll never let my feet touch the ground I just turn off the evening news so I don't lose my faith Cause it's a long way down It's a long, it's a long way down It's a long, it's a long way down |

She put him out like the burning end of a midnight cigarette
She broke his heart He spent his whole life trying to forget We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind Until the night He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger And finally blew away her memory Life is short but this time it was bigger Than the strength he had to get up off his knees We found him with his face down in the pillow With a note that said I'll love her 'till I die And when we buried him beneath the willow The angels sang a whiskey lullaby (Sing Lullaby) The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself For years and years She tried to hide the whiskey on her breath She finally drank her pain away a little at a time But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind Until the night She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger And finally blew away his memory Life is short but this time it was bigger Then the strength she had to get up off her knees They found her with her face down in the pillow Clinging to his picture for dear life They laid her next to him beneath the willow And the angels sang a whiskey lullaby (Sing Lullaby) And the angels sang a whiskey lullaby |

Where did all my friends go
What happened to my scene Feels like the Memphis Mafia Up and left the king And I've been swimming for redemption But I'm drowning in bureaucracy And I can't find exemption From all the mediocrity And the whiskey and women in this town are killing me If I don't put new boots on I won't ever get on my feet I've been running with the devil and there's gonna be hell to pay If I don't get to Austin I swear I'm gonna fade away I swear I'm gonna fade away I don't mean to bitch and judge But baby I gotta go Where they still play Merle Haggard And the girls love to rock and roll And I've been looking for perspective Between the highway signs But all roads lead to Texas Ya'll look me up some time And the whiskey and women in this town are killing me If I don't put new boots on I won't ever get on my feet I've been running with the devil and there's gonna be hell to pay If I don't get to Austin I swear I'm gonna fade away I swear I'm gonna fade away |

I shouldn't do this was the last thing I heard me say
When I bought her champagne and hid my wedding ring One drink led to another and another to a kiss And I told myself I shouldn't do this I shouldn't do this was the last thing I heard me say When I gave her a ride 'cause she'd had too much to drink She gave herself so freely I could not resist And I told myself I shouldn't do this How I wish that I had listened to that little voice inside Say you're gonna lose your woman, man have you lost your mind And that hold got a little deeper as the lies fell off my lips And I told myself I shouldn't do this I shouldn't do this was the last thing I heard me say When I rolled through the front door coming home way too late Well I stumbled through excuses but the truth is hard to twist And I told myself I shouldn't do this How I wish that I had listened to that little voice inside Say you're gonna lose your woman, man have you lost your mind And that hold got a little deeper as the lies fell off my lips And I told myself I shouldn't do this I shouldn't do this was the last thing I heard me say |

My buddies say don't do it
There's no way I can win They've seen you put me through it Time and time again Does it make you happy, baby To make me so sad? How can a woman look so good Make a man feel so bad I just keep on comin' back for more It's so wrong, I know what I'm in for Every time I say I'm walkin' away I crawl back to your door Comin' back for more Don't you know you hurt me? The way you do your dance When you start to work me I don't stand a chance 'Cause you got all the power, babe You like to throw it around You turn me every which way but loose And then you turn me down And I keep on comin' back for more It's so wrong, I know what I'm in for Every time I say I'm walkin' away I crawl back to your door Comin' back for more Every time I say I'm walkin' away I crawl back to your door Comin' back, comin' back for more Oh baby, comin' back for more I keep comin' back for more Keep on comin' back for more Keep on comin' back for more Keep on comin' back for more Keep on comin' back for more |

They say the only cure for losing a woman
Is another woman But I'm not so sure that's true Anyone could look in these eyes and know Got a long way to go Before I am over you The only thing that's gonna help Is a little time to myself I just need to be lonely for awhile Take the time to dig down deep And find an honest smile I don't want to try to pretend I'm ready to love again I just need to be lonely for awhile I just need to be lonely for awhile Friends keep settin' me up with friends But another friend Ain't what I need right now I need to start looking back inside Try to find the pride I lost when you walked out I gotta learn to love myself Before I can love anyone else I just need to be lonely for awhile Take the time to dig down deep And find an honest smile I don't want to try to pretend I'm ready to love again I just need to be lonely for awhile I just need to be lonely for awhile I just need a little time to cry And find a way to say goodbye I just need to be lonely for awhile I just need to be lonely for awhile I just need to be lonely for awhile Lonely for awhile |

I could hear 'em talking as I was laying in that hole
With a mountain of trouble weighing on my soul They all stood around kicking dirt on my grave It's a miracle I'm standing here today I'm walking among the living again I'm talking and breathing for giving up my sins I'm finding new faith in the arms of old friends Now I'm walking among the living again Now the morning sun is warmer on my skin I'm hearing nature's song, smelling flowers again This world is so much brighter than I've ever known And I swear I heard angels when I rolled away the stone Now I'm walking among the living again I'm talking and breathing for giving up my sins I'm finding new faith in the arms of old friends Now I'm walking among the living again I'm walking among the living again I'm talking and breathing for giving up my sins I'm finding new faith in the arms of old friends Now I'm walking among the living again Living again |

Just another lazy southern Sunday
The time is hanging in the air There's a hoot owl softly calling Off in the distance somewhere There's nothing left for me to go back home to There's nothing left to do but drive around And there's nothing left to say that'll make it be okay There ain't no comfort in the south So let the willow weep a little harder Let the dirt roads all lead out of town That old Magnolia wind done let me down Sweet Dixie cannot fix me now There ain't no southern comfort anyhow Yeah, the honeysuckles growing the fence line And Georgia sun keeps pouring down And that shade beneath the pines was made to ease my mind But there ain't no comfort in the south So let the willow weep a little harder And let the dirt roads all lead out of town That old magnolia wind done let me down Sweet Dixie cannot fix me now There ain't no southern comfort anyhow Yeah, that old magnolia wind let me down Sweet Dixie cannot fix me now There ain't no southern comfort anyhow No, there ain't no southern comfort anyhow |

Some folks moan when things go wrong
But hey not me Me I'll be on the sunny side that's the place to be In my life Cause it's my life, even if it's out of control There ain't no stoppin' my do-woppin' all night long By request I'm at my best when the pressure's on In my life Cause it's my life, even if it's out of control Every dark cloud has a silver lining Every little tear leaves a sparkle in my eye And someday soon in a rubber room I'll finally figure out how to get it right My opinion may not count but that's all I got The world keeps spinning round and round No matter what In my life Cause it's my life, even if it's out of control |
