Last thing I expected
Was to get her call tonight
Cause the last thing that I heard from her
She found "Mr. Right"
But when I came home this evening
There it was on my machine
And I'm just wondering what the hell it means

Said she said she's sorry that she missed me
And she's been doing fine
I'd run it back and heard her say
Those words a hundred times
Something makes me wonder
Is she happy with her choice
Or is that a tear I hear in her voice

First time that I listened
I thought boy shes got some nerve
But the second time I heard it
I heard more then just her words

Am I just wishful thinking
Or did her voice really crack
I'll never know
If I don't call her back

Said she said she's sorry that she missed me
And she's been doing fine
I'd run it back and heard her say
Those words a hundred times
Something makes me wonder
Is she happy with her choice
Or is that a tear I hear in her voice

Oh is that a tear
Lord is that a tear I hear in her vioce

. . .


I see the way he doesn't treat you right
I see the tears that you try to hide
I feel the heartache that you don't show
Wish I had a way to let you know

Chorus:
I would be the shoulder you could cry on
The heart and soul you know you could rely on
With every breath I'll ever take
I swear I'd never let forever end
If you loved me
If you loved me again

There was a time I had it all with you
'Til it came undone, from what I didn't do
Now he's making the same mistakes
And when he loses you, if it's not too late

Repeat Chorus

With every breath I'll ever take
I swear I'd never let forever end
If you loved me
If you loved me again

Verse 1

Sister cries out, from her baby bed.
Brother runs in with feathers on his head.
Mama's in her room learnin how to sew.
Daddy's drinkin beer listenen to the radio.
Hank Williams sings Kaw-Liga and Dear John
Time marches on, time marches on.

Verse 2

Sister's using rouge and clear complection soap.
Brother's wearin beads and he smokes alot of dope.
Mama is depressed barely makes a sound.
Daddy's got a girlfriend in another town.
Bob Dylan sings just like a Rolling Stone.
Time marches on, time marches on.

Bridge

South moves north, North moves south
A star is born, a star burns out.
the only thing that stays the same is everything
changes, everything changes.

Verse 3

Sister calls herself a sexy grandma.
Brother's on a diet for high cholesterol.
Mama's out of touch with reality.
Daddy's in the ground beneath the maple tree.
As the Angels sing an old Hank Williams song.
Time marches on, time marches on. Time marches on, time
marches on. Time marches on. Time marches on.

Couldn't tell me nothing
Had to learn it on my own
On the restless side of seventeen
The day that I left home
Screaming down that highway
With a passion to break any rules
I went crashing at the speed of a fool

She was serving all night coffee
At a San Antonio cafe
She was headed nowhere
I was going her way
With a trusting soul and a naive heart
There was nothing I could do
So I went crashing at the speed of a fool

Chorus:
You're either born for holding back
Or bound for letting go
So I throw caution to the wind
Wherever it may blow
It's the only way I know
I go crashing at the speed of a fool

Got a hunger for that highway
I know will never end
Lord I can't help what I'm not
And I won't change what I am
'Til the roll is called up yonder
to my own self I'll be true
And go crashing at the speed of a fool

Repeat Chorus

I go crashing at the speed of a fool

. . .


It's dark in here tonight
A great place to come and hide from the blues
Hey, I don't mean to intrude
But I've seen that look before
I've heard that slamming door too
Just like you

Chorus:
I know that hurt by heart
I've been right where you are
I know how it feels when your world is falling apart
You're not alone tonight
I know what lonely is like
I've still got the scars
I know that hurt by heart

Hope you don't take this wrong
But that smile you're putting on can't disguise
These tears in your eyes
And laughing like ou don't care
Can't ease the pain down there inside
Believe me I've tried

Repeat Chorus

You're not alone tonight
I know what lonely is like
I've still got the scars
I know that hurt by heart
I've still got the scars
I know that hurt by heart

. . .


Sittin' here in Ft. Worth and for what it's worth
It might as well be Timbuktu
Girl, I'm missing you
The further I go in life the more I realize
I'm no closer to that elusive moon
I can't put out your fire 'cause everywhere I turn
There's a memory to burn

Chorus:
Somewhere between the moon and you
I'm fightin' off the chill of the cold hard truth
That rainbow I've been chasin' left my whole world blue
I lost my dreams somewhere between the moon and you

I still see your smile and it haunts me every mile
Along this winding road
That I walk alone
They say that time should ease the pain
But in my heart a bitter rain still lingers on
How could I have been so wrong
I climbed that ladder thinkin' I could never fall
Until I lost it all

Repeat Chorus

That rainbow I've been chasin' left my whole world blue
I lost my dreams somewhere between the moon and you

. . .


Who knows what I'm doin here tonight on this barstool
As if I didn't know where I should be
Through the darkness of the dim neon
And lonely shade of blue
The light is a mighty hard thing to see
But sitting here it just occurred to me

Chorus:
I was the man she counted on
To do her right, Lord she was wrong
I was the man who wasn't there
Who made it seem he didn't care
Now she needs someone to hold her
To make her feel alive
And she'll be with a different man tonight

I can't believe I turned my back to the love
There in my heart
And turned away from those tears in her eyes
Now I know where I belong is right there in her arms
Though it took so long for me to see the light
I'm leaving here a different man tonight

Repeat Chorus

Now she needs someone to hold her
And make her feel alive
And she'll be with a different man tonight
Oh, she'll be with a different man tonight

. . .


I was one or two just lying in my crib
Shaking that rattle like I always did
Susie strolled in that little girl next door
Next thing you know we were rolling on the floor
Mama came a runnin' to her little pride and joy
Said bless this little heart he's an excitable boy

High school redneck rebel to the bone
Running eighty miles an hour in a thirty mile zone
Steal a little kiss- Skip a little school
Break another heart bend another rule
Cop tells the principal he's only making noise
Cut the kid some slack he's an excitable boy

Chorus:
I've been a renegade
Since the day I was born
I get a little carried away
Never meant to do nobody no harm
I gotta rock it, I can't stop it
I ain't about to change

Parking with my darling fogging up the glass
Slipping 'cross the truck seat trying to make a pass
My baby said stop we gotta take it slow
But you know me I'm always raring to go
It's the way I am I don't have no choice
What can I say i'm an excitable boy

Repeat Chorus:

What can I say, I'm an excitable boy
What can I say, I'm an excitable boy
Ah you know I just can't help myself
It's just the way I am

. . .


As you lie in my arms
Girl my heart's on my sleeve
Words come so hard in moments like these
There's feelings I have that are so hard to show
But right now there's one thing
I want you to know

Chorus:
As long as the tides ebb
The earth turns the sun sets
I promise I'll always be true
And as long as there's stars over Texas
Darling I'll hang the moon for you

I know I have stumbled and caused you some tears
When you needed me most I haven't always been here
I know I'm not always the man I should be
But don't ever wonder what you mean to me

Repeat Chorus

And as long as there's stars over Texas
Darling I'll hang the moon for you
Darling I'll hang the moon for you

Johnny Baker works down at the mill
Makes enough to make ends meet
And pay his bills
Even though he comes from the wrong side of the tracks
He's the first one there to lend a hand
Or give the shirt right off his back

Chorus:
From what we get we make a living
Those dollars, Diamonds and Gold
But that old cliche' is a given
You reap what you sow
When you reach out your hand and your heart
Then your soul is satisfied
From what we get we make a living
From what we give
We make a life

Mr. Miller's got a mansion on the hill
He spent his whole life
Chasing that almighty dollar
But all his so-called riches
Something's missing in his soul
It takes more than having everything
To make a man feel whole

Repeat Chorus

When you reach out your hand and your heart
Then your soul is satisfied
