I bought a card down at the drugstore It said I'm thinkin' of you I'm put some flowers on the table But I know you won't be home These are some of the little things That I do 'cause I still love you And today might be the hardest day I've had since you been gone Valentine, girl do you still think about me I still wake up at night callin' out your name And the roses are there Paper hearts are everywhere But the fourteenth of February Will never been the same Where did we go wrong Val I thought we had it made Was it just my wishful thinkin' Is it supposed to be this way Oh but I still feel the magic That comes this time of year When everybody's got a sweetheart And I'm wishin' that you were here Valentine, girl do you still think about me I still wake up at night callin' out your name And the roses are there Paper hearts are everywhere But the fourteenth of February Will never been the same Valentine, girl do you still think about me I still wake up at night callin' out your name And the roses are there Paper hearts are everywhere But the fourteenth of February Will never been the same
I was getting kinda tired Of her endless chatter Nothing I could say Ever seemed to matter So I took a little drive Just to clear my head I saw a flashing neon up ahead It looked like a place To find some satisfaction With a little less talk And a lot mo
I straddled my bicycle when I was ten years old I rode it up on Maxwell Hill where all the big boys go Way down at the bottom there's a creek bed six feet wide If you peddle fast enough you can make the other side Mama come quick I think I fell And hurt myself again Mama come quick you know too well How much I still depend on you Pickin' me up and dustin' me off And sendin' me on my way 'Cause nothing heals as much as your lovin' touch I fell in love for the first time when I was almost grown I heard that love could hurt real bad, though I had not been shown Everybody told me she would only break my heart But I wouldn't listen to them 'cause I was way too smart Mama come quick I think I fell And hurt myself again Mama come quick you know too well How much I still depend on you Pickin' me up and dustin' me off And sendin' me on my way 'Cause nothing heals as much as your lovin' touch Yeah daddies teach us how to ride How to catch and throw But when things don't go the way they should A boy knows where to go Mama come quick I think I fell And hurt myself again Mama come quick you know too well How much I still depend on you Pickin' me up and dustin' me off And sendin' me on my way 'Cause nothing heals as much as your lovin' touch Oh mama come quick I need your lovin' touch Yeah mama come quick I need your lovin' touch

Turn left at the old hotel I know this boulevard much too well it hasn't changed since I been gone Oh this used to be my way home They paved the road thru the neighborhood I guess the county finally fixed good it was gettin' rough Someone finally complained enough Fight the tears back with a smile Stop and look for a little while oh it's plain to see The only thing missing is me That's my house and that's my car That's my dog in my back yard There's the window to the room Where she lays her pretty head I planted that tree out by the fence Not long after we moved in That's my kids and that's my wife Who's that man, runnin' my life If I pulled in would it cause a scene There not really expectin me those kid's have been thru hell I hear they've adjusted well Turn around in the neigbors drive I'd be hard to recognise in this pick-up truck It's just an old fixer up Drive away one more time Lot of things runnin' thru my mind I guess the less things change The more they never seem the same That's my house and that's my car That's my dog in my back yard There's the window to the room Where she lays her pretty head I planted that tree out by the fence Not long after we moved in That's my kids and that's my wife Who's that man, runnin' my life That's my house and that's my car That's my dog in my back yard There's the window to the room Where she lays her pretty head I planted that tree out by the fence Not long after we moved in That's my kids and that's my wife Who's that man, runnin' my life

Word sure gets around in a tattle tale town That why she never goes out at night But when her kids go to school and her husband's gone too She gets in her care and she drives To a little motel on the outskirts of town Puts on her perfume and turns the bed down And I'm the only one who knows Victoria's secret Her husband's always working and he's never home When he's there with her he's still gone And she can't stand living and loving alone Well she's got her children to raise, that's why she can't let it show I'm the only one who knows Victoria's secret It's PTA meetings, warm social greetings A woman's work never gets done It's church Sunday, it starts again Monday Seems she's always on the run And she gets so lonely it tears her in two That's when she does what a woman must do And I'm the only one who knows Victoria's secret Her husband's always working and he's never home When he's there with her he's still gone And she can't stand living and loving alone Well she's got her children to raise, that's why she can't let it show I'm the only one who knows Victoria's secret Ah she's got her children to raise that's why she can't let it show I'm the only one who knows Victoria's secret Yeah I'm the only one who knows Victoria's secret

Route 14 Box 308 She said goodbye at the cattle-guard gate Hoping she would find her a place in the world With her mind made up and tears in her eyes It almost made her daddy cry He said don't forget to call when you get there girl. Driving on that two lane road hoping she might find A whole lot more waiting up ahead than what she left behind Moving upstairs, downtown Life's too short to be hanging around She's eighteen and it's time she got out of the wood She's getting out while the getting's good All bills paid and a room with a view She's unpacked a dish or two She just got her phone turned on today There's a big, old world waiting just outside As she's thumbing through the classifieds Looking for work and any old job's okay Driving on that cross-town freeway hoping she might find A whole lot more waiting up ahead than what she left behind Living upstairs, downtown Life's too short to be hanging around She's eighteen and it's time she got out of the wood She's getting out while the getting's good Then she lost her job at the grocery store And the wolf came knocking at the door The red notice said they turned off her telephone There's nothing left for her to do so she's packed up a thing or two Loaded her car down, now she's headed home Driving on that two lane road hoping she might find A whole lot more waiting up ahead than what she left behind Living upstairs, downtown Life's too short to be hanging around She's eighteen and it's time she got back to the wood She's getting out while the getting's good

Had this dream forever And it's comin' true at last Now lookin' back, the hard times Were just lessons from the past I finally climbed the highest mountain Now I'm standing tall There were sacrifices made But now the price is paid To you I owe it all You're not the woman behind the man You are the reason I am who I am You've always been my guiding light Leading the way through love and life You're not the woman behind the man You are the reason I'm who I am I know I never told you How much I depend on you But at my weakest moment You were strong and pulled me through You've been standing in the shadows You're still trying to But to watch you step aside Let me take this ride Is something I can't do You're not the woman behind the man You are the reason I am who I am You've always been my guiding light Leading the way through love and life You're not the woman behind the man You are the reason I'm who I am You're not the woman behind the man You are the reason I am who I am You've always been my guiding light Leading the way through love and life You're not the woman behind the man You are the reason I'm who I am
