I am a lineman for the county
And I drive the main road Searchin' in the sun For another overload I hear you singin' in the wires I can hear you through the whine And the Wichita lineman is still on the line I know I need a small vacation But it don't look like rain And if it snows That stretch down south Will never stand the strain And I need you more than want you And I want you for all time And the Wichita lineman Is still on the line |

When I first came here, I was empty, lost and weak.
When I first came here, in your arms I found relief. When I first came here, well, I was empty, lost and weak. When I first came here, in your arms I found relief. When I first came here, I was searching for a friend, When I first came here, it was your heart that took me in. When I first came here, I was searching for a friend, When I first came here, it was your heart that took me in. So I wasn't wrong to long for your beauty. And my eyes were not blind, to trust your smile. What they once never showed were the endless moments alone, That you'd leave behind. No, they once never showed these ceaseless moments alone: Or what you'd leave behind. When I first came here, your lips were where each thought began. When I first came here, my craving for you knew no end. When I first came here, your lips were where each thought began. When I first came here, my craving for you wouldn't end. When I first came here, each morning we woke, spent the week, When I first came here, we seldom used our bed for sleep. When I first came here, we woke each morning, spent the week. When I first came here, our bed was seldom used for sleep. When I first came here, I fell victim to your touch. When I first came here, I saw and craved this constant blush. When I first came here, well, I fell victim to your touch. When I first came here, I saw and craved this constant blush. When I first came here, when my memory first arrived. |

We've got telephones to say what we can't say We all got higher and higher every day Come on wheels take this boy away We're not afraid to ride We're not afraid to die Come on wheels take me home today So come on wheels take this boy away When I feel my time is almost up And destiny is in my right hand I will turn to you who made my faith so strong Come on wheels make this boy a man We're not afraid to ride We're not afraid to die Come on wheels take me home today Come on wheels take this boy away Come on wheels take me home today |

Honey what do you know about if that's real Baby what do you know about the whole deal And what'd you know about love Hey baby what do you know about all its dreams Honey what do you know about Cupid's schemes Baby what do you know about what that means And what'd you know about love For I've been longing to find Another heart that would know And it seems like yours just might Hey baby what do you know about it's first blush Honey what do you know about the caught up rush Baby what do you know about what to trust And what do you know about love, woah no My heart's so often been wrong That it still can't be sure If this finally did come along Hey baby what do you know about all its dreams Honey what do you know about Cupid's schemes Baby what do you know about what that means And what'd you know about love Oh take it down Hey baby what do you know about how it feels Honey what do you know about if that's real Baby what do you know about the whole deal And what'd you know about love Oh baby, tell me what do you know about the whole deal And what do you know about love |

Watch how she tore me all apart.
Watch how she ripped up my heart. Watch how she cut that thing clean through. Watch out she'll do the same to you. Watch how she wrecked this hope filled train. Watch how she revelled in my shame. Watch how she learned me who was boss. Watch out, or that's what you'll get taught. Well, iIt was gone before it ever went away: Got up and left before it even really tried to stay. Any doubt that hung around sure ain't here now, Oh, she's the best dirty trick love ever played. Watch how she tossed my passions round. Watch how she drug 'em cross the ground. Watch how she claimed they're hers to use. Watch out she'll drag yours for you. Watch out, I never felt such pain. Watch out, I've never been the same. Watch out, she don't need no excuse. Watch out she'll do the same to you. |

Waiting for your world to turn around is less likely to be found As I watch it moving past Than any other hope that I might hold That someday you might know what it's like to slowly drown. Waiting for your world to turn around Waiting for the the thought to cross your mind That 2 hearts might be inclined to commit an act that's bold Or even just be looking for a chance to take advantage of. One glance and live inside it one more time Waiting for the thought to cross your mind How long will it be 'Til these blind eyes can finally see I don't know, time goes so slow While your love, like a river, flows right by me. Waiting for your world to turn around is less likely to be found As I watch it moving past Than any other hope that I might hold that someday you Might know what it's like to slowly drown Waiting for your world to turn around... |

No not at all Did you stand by me? No way All the times that we were close, I remember these things the most I've seen my dreams come tumbling down I can't be happy without you around So alone I keep the wolves at bay And there's only one thing I can say Chorus So explain why this must be Did you lie when you spoke to me? Chorus I got a job but it don't pay I need new clothes, Somewhere to stay Hey without these things I can do But without your love I can't make it through But if you don't understand My point of view Then there's not a damn thing I can do Chorus |

Nighttime gets longer each mornin' I wake up
With sunlight that's long over due I start makin' plans for having thoughts that might take up Some of the time that I'll spend missing you. Winters come a-crawling After fall left me callin' For an end to what spring put me through 'Cause summers only blessing Had been the warm breeze caressing All the time that I spent missing you. - Instrumental - Minutes of misery drag through hours of memories Past a voice that swears they're not true It keeps avoiding, denying though but mostly just lying About the time that I'll spend missing you. Winters come a-crawling After fall left me calling For an end to what spring put me through 'Cause summers only blessing Had been the warm breeze caressing All the time that I spent missing you. - Instrumental - Winters come a-crawling After fall left me calling For an end to what spring put me through 'Cause summers only blessing Had been the warm breeze caressing All the time that I spent missing you... |

Chorus: I'll still see you walking silently Through the shadows in my mind A vision of your sweet blue eyes Creeps into my dreamful sleep at night You still haunt the deepness of my memories I guess you will throughout all time Little girl i still remember The very dress you wore on that day It was so soft, a shade of violet, lord How it took my breath away As the sunshine of the morning Broke across your golden hair How i wished to hold you tightly, lord But i was shy and did not dare Chorus: I'll still see you walking silently Through the shadows in my mind A vision of your sweet blue eyes Creeps into my dreamful sleep at night You still haunt the deepness of my memories I guess you will throughout all time Many nights i've sat and wondered If you might be somebody's wife But if you're not, i'd long to see you If just to tell you how i've pined I've been known to ask a stranger That i thought might just pass your way If they would tell you of these feelings That we might meet again someday Chorus: I'll still see you walking silently Through the shadows in my mind A vision of your sweet blue eyes Creeps into my dreamful sleep at night You still haunt the deepness of my memories I guess you will throughout all time I guess you will throughout all time |

Well, I'll give you three good reasons for leavin'.
Number one is that I've forgotten number two. Number three is in a place that's been kept hidden, For so long I can't remember, but its true. Then I'll give you three more reasons for leavin'. Where the first no, weren't so bad as the next two. But rest assured that the third will leave you grieving, From a tale that's as sad as it is true. Every night, all night long, I sit and count alone. But every day, nothin's new, I can't find one and two. Every night, all night long, I sit and count alone. But every day, nothin's new, I can't find one and two. But I'll give you three good reasons for leavin'. Number one is that I've forgotten number two. Yeah, number one is that I've forgotten number two. Number one is that I've forgotten number two. |

We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out Because I love you too much, Baby Why can't you see What you're doing to me When you don't believe a word I'm saying? We can't go on together With suspicious minds And we can't build our dreams On suspicious minds So, if an old friend I know Drops by to say hello Would I still see suspicion in your eyes? Here we go again Asking where I've been Can't you see these tears are real I'm crying We can't go on together With suspicious minds And we can't build our dreams On suspicious minds... Oh, let our love survive I'll dry the tears from your eyes Let's don't let a good thing die Honey, you know I've never lied to you (repeat first verse and fade) |

Chorus:
You'll be sorry you asked me the reason That she's not here with me tonight And I know you were probably just acting polite But you'll be sorry you ever asked why We started having problems in August last year So things have been kinda rough for quite awhile And you know how you think it'll work itself out Well mister that thought's wrong by a long, long mile Chorus I mighta, shoulda seen that we were drifting apart But I was in what I guess you'd call denial And I always heard they say that you're the last one to know Well buddy I was last by a long, long while Chorus Okay we both have the tendency to overreact So I can't really tell you who's at fault But there were certain third parties, well her sister for one Who helped bring our reconciling to a drop-dead halt Now aren't you sorry you asked me the reason That she's not here with me tonight And I know you were probably just acting polite But I'm sure sorry you ever asked why Aren't you sorry you ever asked why I'm sure sorry you ever asked why Did I tell you how she tried to have me locked out of the house I had to go hire a lawyer and all But I know that it was mostly her family's idea I could hear 'em tell her what to say every time I'd call |

Some Dark Holler
I'd rather be in some dark holler Where the sun don't never shine Than to be here alone knowing you're gone While I slowly lose my mind So blow your whistle freight train Take me farther on down the track I'm going away, I'm leaving today I'm going and I ain't coming back I'd rather be in some dark holler Where the sun don't never shine Than to be in some big city In a small room with your love on my mind So blow your whistle freight train Take me farther on down the track I'm going away, I'm leaving today I'm going and I ain't coming back I'd rather be in some dark holler Where the sun don't never shine Than to be here alone knowing you're gone As I slowly lose my mind So blow your whistle freight train Take me farther on down the track I'm going away, I'm leaving today I'm going and I ain't coming back I'm going and I ain't coming back Yes, I'm going and I ain't coming back |

She came in and she told me.
She said: "I'm leaving you." I said: "Oh, you are?" "Let me tell you something: "If you leave, I suggest you stay gone. "And I mean stay gone forever, you hear me? Ever! So she left, and then I missed her. I'm not gonna go into why mister, But there's one particular thing that she used to do late at night, I miss that especially. I can count off, I suppose a thousand things I miss, But I don't wanna go into it right now. No, I don't want to count. One, two. One, two, three, four. Another day I spent alone, Here lately, I cry and only she'll remember, Yeah, will she'll remember? Early mornings, I just suffer through, Since feelin' empty's what I'm bound to do, But she'll remember, yeah, oh, she'll remember. When every choice filled with regret, Even though they haven't yet, Make her thoughts surrender, Then she'll remember. Late afternoon, I curl up tight, To fight back tears I shed all night, But she'll remember, yeah, she'll remember. Denote a bad and right a wrong, Its just a matter of how long, Will life defend her, then she'll remember. She'll try, she'll try, but there won't be, No more escape from her old lonely memories. Mine may be the only scars that show, From every break one heart could know, But she'll remember, yeah, she'll remember. Once all that's left is what's been used, An' any chance to hide from the truth, Keeps gettin' slimmer, then she'll remember. So one more day I'll spend alone, Like every other, I'll cry and moan, But she'll remember, yeah, whoa, she'll remember. In early mornings, late afternoons, Each empty night I'm still sufferin' through, But she'll remember, yeah, she'll remember. When every choice filled with regret, Even though they haven't yet, Make her thoughts surrender, Then she'll remember. She'll remember. She'll remember. Yeah yeah, remember. Whoa, she'll remember. She'll remember. She'll remember. She'll remember. Then she'll remember. Then she'll remember. When every choice filled with regret, Even though they haven't yet, Make her thoughts surrender, Then she'll remember. |

Run run Rudolph, Randolph ain't so far behind Chorus: Run run Rudolph, Santa's gotta make it to town Gotta make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down Run run Rudolph, reeling like a merry-go-round Well Santa asked a boy child, "Whaddya longin' for?" He said, "All I want for Christmas is a rock and roll electric guitar" Then away went Rudolph, whizzing like a shootin' star Chorus Well Santa asked a girl child, "Whaddya wanna get?" "A little baby doll that'll cry sweet, drink and wet" Then away went Rudolph, whizzing like a saber jet (Repeat Chorus) |

Love is a burning thing
And it makes a fiery ring Bound by wild desire I fell into a ring of fire [Chorus] I fell into a burning ring of fire I went down, down, down, and the flames climbed higher And it burned, burned, burned the ring of fire The ring of fire The taste of love is sweet When hearts like ours meet I fell for you like a child Ooh but the fire went wild [Chorus] I fell into a burning ring of fire I went down, down, down, and the flames climbed higher And it burned, burned, burned the ring of fire The ring of fire [Chorus] |

Chorus:
They learned readin', writin', Route 23 To the jobs that lay waiting in those cities' factories They learned readin', writin', roads to the north To the luxury and comfort a coal miner can't afford They thought readin', writin', Route 23 Would take them to the good life that they had never seen They didn't know that old highway Could lead them to a world of misery Have you ever been down Kentucky-way Say south of Prestonburg Have you ever been up in a holler Have you ever heard A mountain man cough his life away From diggin' that black coal In those dark mines, those dark mines If you had you might just understand The reason that they left it all behind Chorus: They learned readin', writin', Route 23 To the jobs that lay waitin' in those cities' factories They learned readin', writin', roads to the north To the luxury and comfort a coal miner can't afford They thought readin', writin', Route 23 Would take them to the good life that they had never seen They didn't know that old highway Could lead them to a world of misery Have you ever seen 'em Put the kids in the car after work on Friday night Pull up in a holler about 2 a.m. And see a light still shinin' bright Those mountain folks sat up that late Just to hold those little grandkids In their arms, in their arms And I'm proud to say that I've been blessed And touched by their sweet hillbilly charm Chorus: They learned readin', writin', Route 23 To the jobs that lay waiting in those cities' factories They learned readin', writin', roads to the north To the luxury and comfort a coal miner can't afford They thought readin', writin', Route 23 Would take them to the good life that they had never seen They didn't know that old highway Could lead them to a world of misery Yeah, it turns out that that old highway, Leads you to a world of misery They found out that that old highway Leads you to a world of misery... |

from Dwight Yoakam - In Others' Words (2003)
Just a ragged kid in overalls,
He thumbed a ride one day He said, "Anywhere you're headed on my way." But as we passed by Big Al's drive-in His eyes began to flash He was leavin' Rapid City mighty fast. He said, "I hope to God she finds The good-bye letter that I wrote her But the mail don't move to fast In Rapid City, South Dakota." --- Instrumental --- Well, he left her just a blanket Of snow upon the farm And that don't keep your conscience very warm. He said his friends were too durn country And his pa was too damn mean And there ain't no money pumpin' gasoline. And her gentle eyes, the merchandise Of dreams the peddler sold her As he left her there in Rapid City, South Dakota. Now the reason he was goin', I ain't sure I could say, Might've been the rodeo in Santa F'. "There's a doctor in chicago, I know she'll be all right." He told himself as he stared into the night. And he said, "I hope to God she finds The good-bye letter that I wrote her But the mail don't move so fast In Rapid City, South Dakota." And all her people treatin' her Just like they never knowed her Lord, the winter's passin' slow In Rapid City, South Dakota. |

Inside the pocket of a clown
Is a sad place to hang around Just watching smiles turn into frowns Inside the pocket of a clown Inside the heartache of a fool You'll learn things they don't teach in school And lessons there can be real cruel Inside the heartache of a fool Hollow lies, make a thin disguise As little drops of truth fall from your eyes --- Instrumental --- Hollow lies, make a thin disguise As little drops of truth fall from your eyes Inside a memory from the past Lives every love that didn't last Sweet dreams can start to fade real fast Inside a memory from the past It's a real sad place to hang around Inside the pocket of a clown... |
