Broke down in a one horse town Tryin' to get the money up to get a ride I spent four days and a week's pay Tryin' to figure out how to get away and leave it behind Before I loose my mind
You know I can't wait to hit the interstate Put the peddle down and open up the gate
I was born in a high high wind I've been blowin' around ever since
I had good job punchin' the clock Making fourteen and a quarter in the union shop I liked the pay, but I couldn't stay I heard that highway callin' and I had to get away Ain't no roots On these cowboy boots
One night I took a ride And watched the city limits fading out of sight
I was born in a high high wind I've been blowin' around ever since
I travel light, rollin' through the night Got my top down, got my engine right
I was born in a high high wind I've been blowin' around ever since
Just as long as that old river flows The sun comes up and that north wind blows Just as sure as these are guaranteed Honey, you can depend on me
This day and time, lovers come and go When it seems, there's no one left to hold For so many, when the morning comes around But girl, you can bet, this ol? boy can't be found
Just as long as that old river flows The sun comes up and that north wind blows Just as sure as these are guaranteed Honey, you can depend on me
Together, never to part Forever, you can bet your heart
Just as long as that old river flows The sun comes up and that north wind blows Just as sure as these are guaranteed Honey, you can depend on me
Oh, together, never to part Forever, you can bet your heart
Just as long as that old river flows The sun comes up and that north wind blows Just as sure as these are guaranteed Honey, you can depend on me
Together and forever in sweet harmony You can depend on me
She had her reasons and I really couldn't blame her But I'd grown accustomed to having her near Just when I thought I couldn't wait any longer She called to tell me what I wanted to hear
(She said she's coming home) Seems like it's been forever (She's had her time alone) We'll finally be together (She said she's coming home) I guess she's tired of making it on her own She said she's coming home
I know she told me that it wouldn't be forever She'd be back but she couldn't say when Now the time has finally come and it's no secret I can't wait to start all over again
(She said she's coming home) Seems like it's been forever (She's had her time alone) We'll finally be together (She said she's coming home) I guess she's tired of making it on her own She said she's coming home
She's coming home She said she's coming home
(She said she's coming home) And that could mean forever (She's had her time alone) We'll finally be together (She said she's coming home) I know she's tired of making it on her own
(She said she's coming home) That could mean forever (She's had her time alone) We'll gonna be together (She said she's coming home) Oh, she's tired of making it on her own She said she's coming home
(She's coming home, she's coming home) She's coming home (She's coming home) She's coming home (She's coming home)
You haven't said a single word to me this morning Still upset about the fight we had last night Well life's to short for silence in the hallway Darling won't you look me in the eye
(CHORUS) Time has come for mending fences A little love, will fix things up I know you care let's stop pretending We've been cold long enough So heart to heart Why don't we start mending fences
We don't have to be so stubborn and heard headed All those hurtful things we said don't matter now So how about a hug let's start forgivin' There's just one way to work this out
(REPEAT CHORUS)
(BRIDGE) We may not always see things eye to eye So come a little closer and let's compromise
Some people are born to live alone And go about life that way, Their home is a long stretch Of blacktop and everyday, Is just another day, They like movin' and stayin' on the run And tryin' to make the world stand still White lines and city limit signs And life is like an automobile Rollin' down the highway what a fine time That's the only way to feel
[[Chorus] Wheels, Stay under me, Stay under me Wheels, Stay under me, Stay under me
It's a freedom that we all want to know And it's another sensual summer To keep the world in your rear view mirror While you try to run down the sun It's a knowin' when you're Gettin' where you're goin' You never bear against your wheels White lines and city limit signs And life is like an automobile Rollin' down the highway what a fine time That's the only way to feel
[Chorus] Wheels Stay under me, Stay under me Wheels Stay under me, Stay under me Wheels I love to feel you turn I love to feel you under me,
Wheels turn around Round round like Geronimo
It's a code for livin' on the road Try to make the world stand still Rollin' down the highway Rollin' down the highway Oh
[Chorus] Wheels Stay under me, Stay under me Wheels Stay under me, Stay under me Wheels I love to feel you turn I love to feel you under me Wheels Stay under me, Stay under me
> Every little move she makes, Is gonna catch somebody's eye. You ought to see all the double-takes, When she goes walkin' by. But she's so distant. She seems so cold. Everybody says that rock won't roll. They say the girl's got a heart of stone. That rock won't roll, Oh, but she's too pretty to be alone. I've got all this love inside me, And I've just got to see, If that rock won't roll. I'll give her everything I've got, I'm gonna change her point of view. I'll keep tryin' and I won't stop, Until the love in her eyes shines through. When I show her, This heart of gold. Then we'll see if that rock won't roll, They say the girl's got a heart of stone. That rock won't roll, Oh, but she's too pretty to be alone. I've got all this love inside me, And I've just got to see, If that rock won't roll. Instrumental Break. I've got all this love inside me, And I've just got to see, If that rock won't roll. Oh, she's so pretty, But that rock won't roll. Oooh, and I've just got to see, To Fade. If that rock won't roll. That rock won't roll. I just can't believe that rock won't roll.
(Chorus) Big dreams in a small town Eighteen and glory bound Nothing here to tie us down Big dreams in a small town
Rollin' down a dusty road In my daddy's Ford I wish that I Could feel that way again
I remember those summer nights On the brink of love You and I made More than plans back then
(Repeat chorus)
Big dreams in a small town Eighteen and glory bound Nothing here to tie us down Big dreams in a small town
We were gonna try to set the world on fire We were gonna make it all come true We used to say that we couldn't wait to leave this town That was something we were born to do
(Repeat chorus)
Oh, ain't it funny how it always seems That time has a way of changin' all your dreams
Big dreams in a small town Guess it's time to settle down Don't ya like the way it sounds you and me in a small town
Big dreams in a small town Big dreams in a small town
So you thought without her it would be easy to live She wanted more than you were willing to give Ah, give and take and blame are all part of the flame That burns for the one you want to be with
You know a fire is hard to get started And even harder to make a good one last You'd better believe it's so, you're gonna wind up out in the cold When it all goes up in smoke and ashes
You better pour a little more coal on the fire Send the voice she knows and loves whistlin' down the wire If it's love and it's true Oh there ain't no doubt what you gotta do Pour a little more coal on the fire You better pour a little more coal on the fire
There ain't nothing as lonely as a loser Who refuses to fold a losin' hand You'd better believe it's true, 'cause it's a'happenin' to you You're gonna become a forgotten man
You better pour a little more coal on the fire Send the voice she knows and loves whistlin' down the wire If it's love and it's true Oh there ain't no doubt what you gotta do Pour a little more coal on the fire
I said, "If it's love and it's real" Then call her up and tell her just how you feel Pour a little more coal on the fire Just a little more love Just a little more coal On the fire, on the fire
A little more coal on the fire You better pour a little more coal on the fire C'mon you better pour a little more coal on the fire She knows and loves whistlin' down the wire A little more coal on the fire On the fire, on the fire
Changing my life with your love has been so easy for you And I'm amazed every day and I'll need you Till all the mountains are valleys And every ocean is dry, my love
[Chorus] I'll be yours until the sun doesn't shine Till time stands still, until the winds don't blow When today is just a memory to me, I know I'll still be lovin', I'll still be lovin' you
I'll still be lovin' you
Never before did I know how loving someone could be Now I can see you and me for a lifetime Until the last moon is rising You'll see the love in my eyes, my love
[Chorus]
I'll still be lovin' I'll still be lovin' I'll still be lovin' you I'll still be lovin' I'll still be lovin' I'll still be lovin' you
Just as long as that old river flows The sun comes up and that north wind blows Just as sure as these are guaranteed Honey, you can depend on me
This day and time, lovers come and go When it seems, there's no one left to hold For so many, when the morning comes around But girl, you can bet, this ol? boy can't be found
Just as long as that old river flows The sun comes up and that north wind blows Just as sure as these are guaranteed Honey, you can depend on me
Together, never to part Forever, you can bet your heart
Just as long as that old river flows The sun comes up and that north wind blows Just as sure as these are guaranteed Honey, you can depend on me
Oh, together, never to part Forever, you can bet your heart
Just as long as that old river flows The sun comes up and that north wind blows Just as sure as these are guaranteed Honey, you can depend on me
Together and forever in sweet harmony You can depend on me
Lover's moon a forgotten road Two lonely strangers a thousand miles from home Two hearts just trying to find their way
Like skipping stones in a desperate flight We caught the wind and sailed across that great divide Thrown to the night we let passion guide our way And I can still hear them say
(CHORUS) Meet me on the other side Let's not forget what we shared tonight That lonely river's running deep and wide Say you'll meet me on the other side
Her restless soul took her off somewhere Night after night I think I see her face out there A glimpse at love, through a haunted memory
Ship of dreams come and ease my mind Make me believe I never left that girl behind Gypsy wind, take a message back for me Let her hear what I say
Meet me on the other side Please don't forget what we shared that night This lonely river's running deep and wide Say you'll meet me on the other side Say you'll meet me on the other side
(BRIDGE) A raging storm out on an empty sea A temptress born, on one night of ecstasy Now she's gone and I'm a lonely castaway Lonely castaway
Meet me on the other side Please don't forget what we shared that night This lonely river's running deep and wide Say you'll meet me on the other side Say you'll meet me on the other side
When the good Lord was handing out The best things from above We got the love We got the love
I know we don't have a lot of money We can barely keep the bills paid honey But when we're in each other's arms Who needs all that stuff We got the love We got the love
Don't need the finer things Fancy cars or no diamond rings I wanna roll down a simple road Rock with you when we get old
Sometimes life's a desperate situation Sometimes it's just grim determination But I know we'll do what it takes To make us tough enough
We got the love We got the love
We got the love We got the love
Don't need the finer things Fancy cars or no diamond rings I wanna roll down a simple road Rock with you when we get old
Built this house of bricks and stone together Trying to make it strong to last forever But if these walls come tumblin' down We still ain't givin' up
We got the love We got the love
We got the love We got the love
Roll down a simple road Rock with you till we get old.....
Waking up with my head in a cloud watching the morning come Another day of the week in a month, in a year, in a life that's come undone I might as well quit trying to get you off my mind I might as well quit hoping that this heart will heal in time
'Cause I can't burn a bridge that I'm still crossing And I can't lose a past that I'm still lost in I can tell myself it's over and I need a brand new start But there's no such thing as mind over matters of the heart
Everyday there's another attempt to convince myself you're gone Every night there's a promise I make that tomorrow I'll move on But there's a voice inside me that calls your name out loud A part of me still hopes to see your face in every crowd
'Cause I can't burn a bridge that I'm still crossing And I can't lose a past that I'm still lost in I can tell myself it's over and I need a brand new start But there's no such thing as mind over matters of the heart
I can tell myself it's over and I need a brand new start But there's no such thing as mind over matters of the heart
You haven't said a single word to me this morning Still upset about the fight we had last night Well life's to short for silence in the hallway Darling won't you look me in the eye

As far as I can tell We're near the end I know the feeling well So don't pretend
Another night alone You're in my dreams Say it isn't so And never leave
Oh why did I have to let you go I'll try to tell myself In time I'll fall in love with someone else
This heart of mine, I know it well It won't stay broken forever In time I'll pull myself together I'll be alright as far as I can tell
As far as I can see There's no where left to turn We're never gonna be the way we were
Oh why did I let you lead me on You lied, you broke my heart You left me standing out here in the dark
This heart of mine, I know it well It won't stay broken forever I don't need your arms to run to I can learn to live without you
These eyes of mine, they finally see You never really cared for me I'll pull myself together I'll be alright as far as I can tell
The saddest part of love is when you watch it walk away There's nothing you can do Just try to hold on and be strong Someone else will surely come along
This heart of mine, I know it well It won't stay broken forever
One day soon I'll feel much better Nothing ever lasts forever In time I'll pull myself together I'll be alright as far as I can tell
The road I have traveled on, Is paved with good intentions. It's littered with broken dreams, That never quite came true. When all of my hopes were dying, Her love kept me trying. She does her best to hide, The pain that she's been through.
When she cries, at night, And she doesn't think that I can hear her. She tries, to hide, All the fear she feels inside. So I pray, this time, I can be the man that she deserves. 'Cos I die a little each time, When she cries.
She's always been there for me, Whenever I've fallen. When nobody else believes, She'll be there by my side. I don't know how she takes it, Just once, I'd like to make it, Then there'll be tears of joy, That fill her lovin' eyes.
When she cries, at night, And she doesn't think that I can hear her. She tries, to hide, All the fear she feels inside. So I pray, this time, I can be the man that she deserves. 'Cos I die a little each time, When she cries.

All of the night you hold out for love. You give what you have, still that's not enough. What went wrong? 'Cos now what we share, are too many fears, Too many secrets, too many years, Tonight.
Tell me what you dream, at night, while you're sleepin'. Tell me what you see, at night, in your dreams. Is it someone else's arms that hold you tight, Or darlin' is it me? Tell me what you dream, at night, while you sleep.
Deep in the night you whisper so low. I lay by your side, I felt so alone, Alone. I reached for your arms, you called out a name. It wasn't my own. It caused me so much pain, Inside.
Tell me what you dream, at night, while you're sleepin'. Tell me what you see, at night, in your dreams. Is it someone else's arms that hold you tight, Or darlin' is it me? Tell me what you dream, at night, while you sleep.
