You've been too gone,for too long,
it's too late to come back now
It's been so long since you walked out my door
now you're just an old song nobody sings anymore
I gotta a new love and she's the true love
but darlin' how could you have known?
you've been too gone, for too long
now it's too late to come back home
You've came a long way, goin' the wrong way
don't even set your suitcase down
You wanted to roam, now you're paying the bills
you're an old rollin' stone who rode over the hills
I had a good cry when you said "Goodbye"
I didn't wanna let you go
but you've been too gone for too long
now it's too late to come back home
I had a good cry when you said "Goodbye"
I didn't wanna let you go
but you've been too gone for too long
so why don't you just stay gone?
now you've been too gone for too long
now it's too late to come back home

My house is no mansion
But it still holds my treasures
Things that will never be sold
There’s a few things in this world
That just can't be measured
By money, by silver and gold
My house is filled with the things that I love
From her smile in the mornin'
To her soft goodnight hugs
Her whisper, her laughter
Everything that she does
My house is filled with the things that I love
This old bed that we sleep on
Don't have satin covers
But it holds some great memories
No decorations can make better lovers
In her arms I feel like a king
My house is filled with the things that I love
From her smile in the mornin'
To her soft goodnight hugs
Her whisper, her laughter
Everything that she does
My house is filled with the things that l love
Yes, my house is filled with the things that I love

Mama always prayed that I'd be a better man than daddy
And I determined not to let her down
Deserted by the man she loved and left to raise four children
We were the local gossip of the town.
I promised her that I'd live right and not be like the others
But I wound up in jail on Chrismas day
I told her I'd be home and not to worry 'bout my brothers
When I got home my mom had passed away
And I hear tell the road to hell is paved with good intentions
And mama my intentions were the best
There's lotsa things in my life I just as soon not mention
Looks like I've turned out like all the rest
But mama my intentions were the best
A little boy with big blue eyes a-beggin' to go fishing
I promised him but never took the time
Now they won't let me see him and I sit here a-wishing
Wishin' I could hold him one more time
And I hear tell the road to hell is paved with good intentions
And mama my intentions were the best
There's lotsa things in my life I just as soon not mention
Looks like I've turned out like all the rest
But mama my intentions were the best
But mama my intentions were the best

All you wanted was a one-night stand
The fire of the wine and the touch of a man
But I fell in love and ruined all of your plans
What'Il you do about me
Imagine the faces on your high-class friends
When I beat on the door and I beg to come in
Screamin' "Corne on love me again"
What'Il you do about me
You can change your number, you can change your name
You can ride like hell on a midnight train
That’s alright mama, that’s O.K.
But what'Il you do about me
Picture your neighbors when you try to explain
That good ol' boy standin' out in the rain
With his nose on the vvindow pane
Lady, what'Il you do about me
What in the world are you plannin’ to do
When a man comes over just to visit with you
And I’m on the porch with a 2' x 2'
You can call your lawyer, you can call the fuzz
You can sound the alarm, wake the neighbors up
Ain't no way to stop a man in love
What'Il you do about me
All you wanted was a one-night stand
The fire of the wine and the touch of a man
But I fell in love and baby here I am
What'Il you do about me
You can change your number, you can change your name
You can ride like hell on a midnight train
That’s alright mama, that’s O.K.
But what'Il you do about me

You're my always and forever.
You're the one that hung the moon.
After all these nights together
I still get lost in your perfume.
And if I could write a love song,
Every line would tell the truth.
It would be a warm and soft one
And my heart would say to you
When you see me walk on water,
When the sea don't reach the shore
When the fires of hell freeze over,
I won't need you anymore
Oh, the feelings lay so easy,
Lyin' here the way we are.
No one else could ever hold me
Like the heavens hold the stars.
When you see me walk on water,
When the sea don't reach the shore
When the fires of hell freeze over,
I won't need you anymore
I won't need you anymore
. . .

You may think that I'm talking foolish
You've heard that I'm wild & I'm free
You may wonder how I can promise you now
This love that I'm feeling for you always will be
You're not just time that I'm killing
I'm no longer one of those guys
As sure as I live this love that I give
Is gonna be yours until the day that I die -- Oh baby
Chorus:
I'm gonna love you forever, forever & ever amen
As long as old men sit & talk about the weather
As long as old women sit & talk about old men
If you wonder how long I'll be faithfull
I'll be happy to tell you again
I'm gonna love you forever & ever, forever & ever Amen
They say that time takes it's toll on a body
Makes the young girls brown hair turn grey
But honey, I don't care, I ain't in love with your hair
They say time can play tricks on a memory
Make people forget things they knew
But it's easy to see it's happening to me
I've already forgotten every woman but you --- Oh darlin'
Chorus:
Just listen to how this song ends
I'm gonna love you forever & ever forever & ever
Forever & ever Forever & ever Amen

Suppose I called you up tonight
And told you that I love you
And suppose I said I want to come back home
And suppose I cried and said I think I finally learned my lesson
And I'm tired of spending all my time alone
If I told you that I realized you're all I ever wanted
And it's killing me to be so far away
Would you tell my that you love me too
And would we cry together
Or would you simply laugh at me and say...
Chorus
I told you so, I told you so
I told you some day you'd come crawling back
And asking me to take you in
I told you so, but you had to go
Now I've found somebody new
And you will never break my heart in two again
If I got down on my knees
And told you I was yours forever
Would we get that old-time feeling
Would we laugh and talk for hours
The way we did when our love first began
Would you tell me that you've missed me too
And that you've been so lonely
And you've waited for the day that I returned
And we'd live and love forever
And that I'm your one and only
Or would you say the tables finally turned
And would you say...
(Chorus)
. . .

I’d do anything if you’d just let me hold you
I'd do anything to change your mind
Climb the highest moumain or swim the deepest ocean
Anything to make you mine
Anything, anytime
Day or night, rain or shine
There ain't nothin’ I won’t do
To get to you
Is there anything I can say to make you love me
Is there anything I haven't tried
Well I’d take you 'round the world
Just to walk you down a dirt road
Anything to make you mine
Anything, anytime
Day or night, rain or shine
There ain't nothin’ I won’t do
To get to you
Well I’d give anything if I had you forever
I'd give anything to see that time
Well I’d walk upon my hands up the stairway to heaven
Anything to make you mine
Anything, anytime
Day or night, rain or shine
There ain't nothin’ I won’t do
To get to you
. . .

Everybody said I'd leave you
They gave us six months to a year
Said our love would just fall pray to
The jukebox, women and the beer
They wanna get those rumours flyin'
They're watchin' for a rendez-vous
But if they ever say I'm cheatin'
They'll be lyin'
The truth is lyin' next to you
Truth is
I'm gonna be here for a long long time
I'll stay forever or 'til you say goodbye
Don't need a neon moon to make my night shine
And if you need some lovin' proof
Just reach out
The truth is lyin' next to you
Over phone lines and back fences
We're the talk of this whole town
They just shake their heads in wonder
They can search the backstreet barrooms
To see if I'm with someone new
But if they ever say they saw me
They'll be lyin'
The thruth is lyin' next to you
Truth is
I'm gonna be here for a long long time
I'll stay forever or 'til you say goodbye
Don't need a neon moon to make my night shine
And if you need some lovin' proof
Just reach out
The truth is lyin' next to you
Truth is
I'm gonna be here for a long long time
I'll stay forever or 'til you say goodbye
Don't need a neon moon to make my night shine
And if you need some lovin' proof
Just reach out
The truth is lyin' next to you

Tonight we’re gonna tear down the walls
We’re gonna laugh and drink and dance and have a ball
The good times ain't over after all
And tonight we're gonna tear down the walls
It seems we let the hard times come between us
Like a wall around our hearts we couldn't see
Hard luck and trouble came rainin’ down upon us
They almost got the best of you and me
Once we loved to stay at home and make love
Now work is all we ever seem to do
We been spendin’ too much time makin’ money
I think it’s time we had a laugh or two
Tonight we’re gonna tear down the walls
We’re gonna laugh and drink and dance and have a ball
The good times ain't over after all
And tonight we're gonna tear down the walls
It seems we let the hard times come between us
Like a wall around our hearts we couldn't see
Hard luck and trouble came rainin’ down upon us
You put your party clothes and makeup
And I’ll polish that ol’ truck until it shines
Don’t worry ‘bout a thing ‘til monday mornin’
Just leave hard luck and troubles far behind…
(‘cause)
Tonight we’re gonna tear down the walls
We’re gonna laugh and drink and dance and have a ball
The good times ain't over after all
And tonight we're gonna tear down the walls
The good times ain't over after all
And tonight we're gonna tear down the walls
