Love, Me
I read a note my Grandma wrote back in 1923 Grandpa kept it in his coat and he showed it once to me He said "Boy, you might not understand but a long long time ago Grandma's daddy didn't like me none but I loved your Grandma so We had this crazy plan to meet and run away together Get married in the first town we came to and live forever But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet instead I found this letter and this is what it said" Chorus: If you get there before I do don't give up on me I'll meet you when my chores are through I don't know how long I'll be here But I'm not gonna let you down Darlin' wait and see And between now and then till I see you again I'll be loving you Love, Me I read those words just hours before my Grandma passed away In the doorway of a church where me and Grandpa stopped to pray I know I'd never seen him cry in all my fifteen years But as he said these words to her his eyes filled up with tears Chorus And between now and then till I see you again I'll be loving you Love, Me I Want You Bad I'm Gonna Love You In This Life
For all I've been blessed with in this life There was an emptiness in me I was imprisoned by the power of gold With one honest touch, you set me free Let the world stop turning Let the sun stop burning Let them tell me love's not worth going through If it all falls apart, I will know deep in my heart The only dream that mattered had come true In this life, I was loved by you For every mountain I have climbed Every raging river crossed You were the treasure that I longed to find Without your love I would be lost Let the world stop turning Let the sun stop burning Let them tell me love's not worth going through If it all falls apart, I will know deep in my heart The only dream that mattered had come true In this life i was loved by you In this life, I was loved by you That's My Story
I came in as the sun came up She glared at me over her coffee cup She said "Where you been?" So I thought real hard and said "I fell asleep in that hammock in the yard" She said "You don't know it but you just blew it" I said "Well that's my story and I'm stickin' to it" Chorus: That's my story (that's my story) Oh that's my story (that's my story) No I ain't got a witness, I can't prove it but That's my story and I'm stickin' to it Well I got that deer in the headlights look She read my face like the cover of a book she said "Don't expect me to believe all that static 'Cause just last week I threw that hammock in the attic" My skin got so thin you could see right through it And I stuttered "Well that's my story and I'm stickin' to it" Rrepeat Chorus The time comes when a wise man knows That the best thing that he can do Is just look her in the eye and beg for mercy And face the bitter truth "Well honey me and the boys played cards all night There wasn't no hanky panky not a woman in sight And I know I shoulda called and baby I'm real sorry But get a cellular phone and then you won't have to worry You know how much I love you darlin' and I'm ready to prove it And that's my story and I'm stickin' to it" Repeat Chorus I ain't gonna do a thing darlin' unless you approve it And that's my story and I'm stickin' to it |
If I Were You A Moment Without You Little Rock
I know I've disappeared a time or two And along the way I lost me and you I needed a new town for my new start I'm sellin' VCRs in Arkansas at a Walmart I haven't had a drink in 19 days My eyes are clear and bright with-out that haze I like the preacher from the Church of Christ I'm sorry that I cried when I talked to you last night Chorus: I think I'm on a roll Here in Little Rock I'm solid as a stone Wait and see I got just one small problem Here in Little Rock Without you Baby I'm not me I don't know why I held it all inside You must've thought I never even tried You know your daddy told me when I left Jesus would forgive, but a daddy don't forget Chorus Lyin' here upon this motel bed Thoughts of you explode within my head Like a castle built upon the sand I let love crumble in my hand Whoa... Chorus Without you Baby I'm not me I think I'm on a roll Here in Little Rock... |
