There's some left over wine the cupboard About a half a glass left for the road Here's a toast to the time we were lovers-then I'll go Should I laugh, or should I cry? Love you, hate you, live or die? Is my heart half full or half empty? Is our love like the wine in this glass You drink like there's no tomorrow So sure, it would always last Will the memories tase sweet as they linger Or the bitterness stay on my tongue Is my heart half full of the love you gave me Or my heart half empty cuz your love is gone Your bags are all packed in the hallway The boxes are stacked on the lawn You kissed me goodbye just like always And you're gone Trembling hands or nerves of steel Someone tell me what to feel

I went to pieces when she blew in Like a strong man running through a hurricane wind Before I had a clue how bad it would be She tore my heart out and she showed it to me
Like a bone in a pit bull pen She chewed me up and spit me out again My knees still shake, my ears still ring All in all it was a pretty good thing All in all it was a pretty good thing
That was one ride that I'll never forget I still ain't found all the pieces yet She stripped my gears-she stole my shocks And she left me sitting up here on these cinder blocks
Like a bone in a pit bull pen She chewed me up and spit me out again My knees still shake, my ears still ring All in all it was a pretty good thing All in all it was a pretty good thing
I know it's bound to sound a little crazy to you But it sure was good for a minute or two
Like a bone in a pit bull pen She chewed me up and spit me out again My knees still shake, my ears still ring All in all it was a pretty good thing All in all it was a pretty good thing
I Was Headed Noth On Highway Five, One Star Lit Sunday Night When A Pickup Truck Flew By Me Out Of Control As I Watched In My Headlights He Swerved Left And Then Back Right He Never Hit The Brakes As He Left The Road
I Found Him Lying In The Grass Among The Steel And Glass With An Empty Whiskey Bottle By His Side Through The Blood And Tears He Whispered In My Ear A Few Last Words Just Before He Died
Don't Tell MaMa I Was Drinking
Lord Knows Her Soul Would Never Rest I Can't Leave This World With MaMa Thinking I Met The Lord With Whiskey On My Breath
I Still Think About That Night And How That Young Man Died And How Others Sometimes Pay For Our Mistakes The Last Thing On His Mind As He Left This World Behind Was Knowing Someone Else's Heart Would Break
Don't Tell MaMa I Was Drinking Lord Knows Her Soul Would Never Rest I Can't Leave This World With Mama Thinking I Met The Lord With Whiskey On My Breath
I am not brave and I'm not too smart The tin man wouldn't trade for my heart Got two left feet when I am dancing and a long history of brief romances
Got no rubies, got no diamonds None passed down and I cannot buy them Got a box of hurt and a bag of shame and you barely know my name I've got big, big hopes about you Yeah, I've got big, big hopes.
Got an old leather jacket, would look good on you and lots of friends, they would like you too I've got some pull with the moon and tides and thirty-two dollars, lets go somewhere tonight. I've got big, big hopes about you I've got big, big hopes Oh yeah
I've had hopes before, but not like this I'm flying over the edge into the sweet abyss
I've got some pull with the moon and tides and thirty two dollars, lets go somewhere tonight
I've got big, big hopes about you I've got big hopes I've got big hopes about you
I just dropped her off, I'm thinking "Oh what a night" I ought to be flying but I'm sittin here at this green light I thought I was in control, thought I knew where I wanted to go She's got me turned inside out, I'm wonderin' what it's all about
Is she there in your dreams? I don't know, I can't sleep Is she breaking your heart? Yeah, but isn't it sweet? Does she know how you feel? It's right on the tip of my tongue Are you walking on air? Well I'm sure feeling tall Does she trouble your mind? It's no trouble at all Oh I don't know but something tells me it must be love.
I just missed my turn, guess I'm not thinking straight Oh and what's with this car, it's driving me back to her place I'm out here circling around, I've already covered this ground These feelings just can't be denied, so what am I trying to decide
Is she there in your dreams? I don't know, I can't sleep Is she breaking your heart? Yeah, but isn't it sweet? Does she know how you feel? It's right on the tip of my tongue Are you walking on air? Well I'm sure feeling tall Does she trouble your mind? It's no trouble at all Oh I don't know but something tells me it must be love.

Two young lovers with their bodies on fire Achin' to swim that river of desire Leavin' innocence there on the bank by their clothes A man holdin' on to a woman lettin' goThere's a man with a bottle on the other side of town Swimmin' in a mem-ry that he can't drown Lord it ain't sunk in that she ain't comin' home A man holdin' on to a woman lettin' goHis heart is tellin him To hang on for dear life Cuz deep down he knows She's lettin' go for good this timeThere's a daddy walkin' his daughter down the aisle Fightin' back tears and forcin' a smile For 22 years he's watched her grow Now he's a man holdin' on to a woman lettin' go In the hill valley home there's a feeble old man And he's holdin' on to a fragile old hand The angels are comin' to carry her home A man holdin' on to a woman lettin' go
You may not know it now But you and I were meant to be Why are you so afraid Of a little destiny
If I have to wait to Turn your heart around Patience is a virtue That's been handed down
I'm the son of a big time dreamer That's where I get my dreaming from Daddy was a firm believer In the power of love You say I'm crazy to fall for you That's what my momma Told my daddy too I'm the son of a big time dreamer Baby, make my dreams come true
I guess it's in my bones I guess it's in my blood I'm a romantic fool Like my father's father was Remember back in school We learned what Einstein said It's all relative
I'm the son of a big time dreamer That's where I get my dreaming from Daddy was a firm believer In the power of love You say I'm crazy to fall for you That's what my momma Told my daddy too I'm the son of a big time dreamer Baby, make my dreams come true
The way I feel for you It isn't hard to see The apple doesn't fall far From the family tree
I'm the son of a big time dreamer That's where I get my dreaming from Daddy was a firm believer In the power of love You say I'm crazy to fall for you That's what my momma Told my daddy too I'm the son of a big time dreamer Baby, make my dreams come true
I'm the son of a big time dreamer Hey, baby, make my dreams come true
I only needed coffee, aisle four is where she caught me off guard Seemed like a lifetime between her goodbye And by the way, how have you been? She talked about the weather,
I thought of nights I held her so close Oh there I go, thinkin' with my heart again Her smile brought back the best times Sweet memories of nights together
Stirring up those old feelings That got me thinking about forever with her She said "I must be going, there's someone waiting for me outside" And I died
Oh there she goes and here I go Thinkin' with my heart again Her smile brought back the best times Sweet memories of nights together
Stirring up those old feelings That got me thinking about forever with her I only needed coffee, aisle four is where she caught me Thinkin' with my heart again
You were first one I ever hurt, for I was afraid of holding your hand. Out of way backroad, I told you I loved you. You made a country boy feel like a man. Somewhere a lover lives for a moment When he can touch her and give her his heart. Somewhere a strong man waits for a woman, And nothing in this world can keep them apart. I laughed at the way we were; So funny to look back now And know you were all... all I dreamed of. Sometimes I wonder if we would have lasted; If I was a fool to ever give you up. Somewhere a lover lives for a moment When he can touch her and give her his heart. Somewhere a strong man waits for a woman, And nothing in this world can keep them apart. Oh, you're still on my mind on a thin, shadowed, ledge No matter what I do or say. But the river of time could take off the edge, But they can't take the rock away. Somewhere a lover lives for a moment When he can touch her and give her his heart. Somewhere a strong man waits for a woman, And nothing in this world can keep them apart. Somewhere a lover lives for a moment When he can touch her and give her his heart. Somewhere a strong man waits for a woman, And nothing in this world can keep them apart.
At the local diner Just outside of town He comes in a hour early Just to beat the morning crowd He stares out his window And stirs his coffee cup Another day another dollar Short of catchin' upSame old job, same old dull routine In his heart he knows what it bringsA two bedroom house for his family of three He's giving his all makin' ends meet A second hand car a washing machine They may not have much But he gets what they need With the hands of a working manDown at the factory standing in line He waits to punch the time clock A million worries on his mind Oh Jimmy's needing braces, and Betty's needing time And the problems that he's facing There all building up insideSame old job, same old dull routine But in his heart he knows what it brings
Same old job, same old dull routine But in his heart he knows what it brings
I know my back can bend and bear the weight But these two hands of mine, they never shake At least not up till now So many heartbeats and it's never missed
I'm not sure if it can handle this I guess I'll find out I guess I'll find out
How much can one man love you How much can one man care How much can one man need you How much do I dare
I know my eyes can see for miles and miles And my legs can walk a good long while That's never been in doubt But I always keep my passions locked away
So what will happen now, it's hard to say Once I let them out, I guess I'll find out
How much can one man love you How much can one man care How much can one man need you How much do I dare
If I never let you go Maybe then I'll know
How much can one man love you How much can one man care How much can one man need you How much do I dare
