Charlie Major

I took the long way home tonight down a lonely road
No riders, no company, Just me and the radio.
One by one I watched the miles slowly fall behind
My heart weighing heavy knowing what I wouldn't find.

The moon over my shoulder and the stars up in the sky,
There to remind me what's missing tonight.

Chorus:

I don't mind being alone, it's lonely I can't stand.
These empty nights ain't no life for a woman nor a man.
It's been so long since I held or felt the touch of a loving hand.
Being alone ain't so bad, it's lonely I can't stand.

Staring out my window now at the world passing me by,
Trapped here in this darkness doing solitary time.
Accross the open fields I hear the soulful sad refrain,
The high lonesome wailing of some distant midnight train.

The sound of my heart beating and the silence in these rooms
They're to remind me what's missing tonight.

(Chorus)

It's just another night on the one hand
On the other, it cuts like a knife.

(Chorus)

Got a good women who cares for me
Whenever I'm in need, shes there for me
Steady as a rock and a comfort to me.
I,m a lucky man.

Got a couple of kids, They,ve turned out alright
They,ve got respect and they treat people right
In these wild times they still come home at night.
I'm a lucky man.

CHORUS

But sometimes I feel life is passin me by,
And nights I cant sleep when I close my eyes
Somtimes I feel like its out of my hands,
theres so many things I don't understand,
But I'm a lucky man, Oh! I'm a lucky man.

Got a good job down at the local mill,
Puts clothes on our backs and it pays some bills,
Come saturday night it buys a few thrills,
I'm a lucky man.

Got a few friends I can call them true,
In a tough situation they always come true,
They dont question these things that I do,
I'm a lucky man.

REPEAT CHORUS

Got a place under the open sky
I know I'm going when it comes the time,
For me to leave this old world behind
I'm a lucky man, Oh! I'm a lucky man
Oh! I'm a lucky man, Oh! I'm a lucky man.

Well I was waiting for you all nite baby
tellin myself what we're doin is crazy
'cuz we both know what we're headed for
your heart belongs to a friend of mine
someone else has got a claim on mine
here we are lying in each others arms tonight
we both know what we're doin is wrong
we cant stop it, we're too far gone

We're out of contol
like a runaway train
on a dead-end track
like a runaway train
on a dead-end track
we're only headed one way
theres no turning back
just a matter of time before we crash
out of control
like a runaway train
on a dead-end track

Well it started out as a mild flirtation
and grew into this complicated situation
of tangled lies and weak alibies
you got somewhere else that you should be
theres someone out there waiting for me
but for now theres nowhere else we'd rather be
we both know this afair can't last
we're so caught up we're blinded to the past

We're out of control
like a runaway train
on a dead-end track
like a runaway train
on a dead-end track
we're only headed one way
theres no turning back
just a matter of time before we crash
out of control
like a runaway train
on a dead-end track

Well there's warning signs all around
hit the breaks and I slow it down
we ain't payin no heed
we keep on pickin up steam

Like a runway train
on a dead-end track
like a runaway train
on a dead-end track
we're only headed on way
theres not turning back
just a matter of time before we crash
out of control
like a runaway train
on a dead-end track
like a runaway train

TELL ME SOMETHING I DON'T KNOW

You say there?s someone new

Well Baby that ain?t news

Tell me something I don?t know

You say your love has died

Well baby that?s right

Tell me something I don?t know

This may come as a surprise to you

But I?m not surprised at what you say you?re gonna do

When you say you?re leaving me

I ain?t so blind that I can?t see

Tell me something I don?t know

I saw it coming from a mile away

I wasn?t born yesterday

Tell me something I don?t know

You say the feelings you once had are gone

This ain?t where you belong

Tell me something I don?t know

Before you sit me down to tell me more,

You oughta know I packed your bags

And they?re waiting at the door.

So before you?re on your way

If you?ve anything left to say

Tell me something I don?t know

You say you?re sorry now for breaking every vow

That?s a good one baby,

Go ahead and take a bow

You say there?s someone new

Well baby that ain?t news

Tell me something I don?t know

You say your love is gone

Well Baby go on tell me something I don?t know

Baby go on tell me something I don?t know

Baby go on tell me something I don?t know

Tell me something I don?t know

Tell me something I don?t know

Baby go on
