Another day, another dollar
That's what I'm working for today
Another day, another dollar
Sure can't buy my blues away

I'm just trying to make a living
Working jobs that I enjoy
But it ain't easy finding something
For this lonesome-hearted boy

Another day, another dollar
That's what I'm working for today
Another day, another dollar
Sure can't buy my blues away

You know my life is like a highway
Just too many roads to take
You know I'll try to take the right one
Just gets harder every day

Another day, another dollar
That's what I'm working for today
Another day, another dollar
Sure can't buy my blues away

Another day, another dollar
That's what I'm working for today, hey
Another day, another dollar
Sure can't buy my blues away

Another day, another dollar
Sure can't buy my blues away

Wind is blowin' 'round the cabin
I hate to hear that lonesome sound
I'm all alone and so downhearted
Since my true love she ain't around

I hate to see that sun a sinkin'
Another night to toss and turn
Another night to dream about her
Another night for her I yearn

She had no cause to go and leave me
For I had never done her wrong
She left our own little children
Now with another man she's gone

I hate to see that sun a sinkin'
Another night to toss and turn
Another night to dream about her
Another night for her I yearn

Children they are sound asleepin'
Oh they don't know that their mother's gone
What will I do when they awaken?
Can I tell them their mother's wrong?

I hate to see that sun a sinkin'
Another night to toss and turn
Another night to dream about her
Another night for her I yearn

Baby,
now that I've found you
I won't let you go
I built my world around you
I need you so,
baby even though
You don't need me
now

Baby,
now that I've found you
I won't let you go
I built my world around you
I need you so
Baby even though
You don't need me,
You don't need me oh, no

Baby, baby,
when first we met
I knew in this heart of mine

That you were someone I couldn't forget.
I said right,
and abide my time

Spent my life looking
for that somebody
to make me feel like new
Now you tell me that you want to leave me
But darling, I just can't let you

Blue trail of sorrow
Lies upon the ground
And I get so lonely
Since you let me down

Well, I used to be so happy
Walking on these streets
Now there's just sadness
Everywhere I meet


Start walkin', baby
Walk all over town
Sweet tears of sadness fallin' down
Keep lookin', baby
I won't be around
Blue trail of sorrow on the ground

Now when I had a dollar
You'd stick right by me
Now I've got nothin'
But blues for company

Well, I think I'll leave tomorrow
I'm tired of this old town
But it won't be hard to find me
If you look down on the ground

I stood on faith and the corner of ambition
I came here to sink or swim
And to show them all that they were wrong
And though I never thought I'd make it this far

So the curtains are down
For the moment I'm someone
There were those in the wings who waited, who came this way
Now there gone
But there's always someone at home who never forgets who you are

When I'm down and I'm growing old
I won't be along no railroad track
I won't be bound to a life out in the cold
It's been a steady pace to keep my steps between these cracks on Broadway
And my stride in rhythm to the beat of home, sweet home

When I'm down and I'm growing old
I won't be along no railroad track
I won't be bound to a life out in the cold
It's been a steady pace to keep my steps between these cracks on Broadway
And my stride in rhythm to the beat of home, sweet home

Can't go on, I'm on the top of my better years
I'm going home, it's too lonesome on the bottom rung here

It's been a steady pace to keep my steps between these cracks on Broadway
And my stride in rhythm to the beat of home, sweet home

Dark clouds hangin' over me
When will they go away?
Rain is in my eyes and I can't see
Life's become just cloudy days

Why she done me like she done
I guess I'll never know
She knows I need her more than anyone
I made a point to let it show

Cloudy days don't the sun ever shine anymore?
Stormy weather will you always be around?
When I'm down, I can't stand cloudy days

I recall a time when times were good
Lord, it seems so long ago
But you know they say if rain won't come
Then love has no chance to grow

Cloudy days don't the sun ever shine anymore?
Stormy weather will you always be around?
When I'm down, I can't stand cloudy days

Cloudy days don't the sun ever shine anymore?
Stormy weather will you always be around?
When I'm down, I can't stand...

Cloudy days don't the sun ever shine anymore?
Stormy weather will you always be around?
When I'm down, I can't stand cloudy days

Stormy weather will you always be around?
When I'm down, I can't stand cloudy days

I don't need a perfect lover to hold me in the rain
Someone to ease my pain when I feel blue
If I lost you to another, think I'd drown out here for sure
Won't you stay with me and be my only cure?

Dark skies may cloud my day
But that don't bother me
As long as I can hold you close to me

I don't need a part time lover to leave me in the cold
With empty arms to hold when I need you
Tell me that there is no other, send the cold wind from my door
Give you all my love and more if you want me to

Dark skies may cloud my day
But that don't bother me
As long as I can hold you close to me

Leaving is the longest word I ever learned
In the time it takes to say it, the whole world has turned
If a heartbeat lasts a lifetime then I've lived before
`cause I remember standing at this open door


This path is not the one I'd choose to travel
Even as we watch what tied us unravel
And the tears fall like rain
Deeper than crying, the loving still remains

Neither wants to be the one to say goodbye
And neither wants to be the one who's left to cry
But in our secret heart of hearts we both know
That the time for patching up has passed and it's time to go



So I'll be the one to pull our tangled lives apart
I won't dodge the angry words that hide a broken heart
And my calm fare-thee-wells cannot obscure
That deep inside, my heart is also hurtin' so

As i went down to the river to pray
Studyin about that good ol' way and who shall wear the starry crown?
Good Lord show me the way!

O sisters let's go down
Lets go down, Come on down
O sisters lets go down
Down in the river to pray

As I went down in the river to pray
Studyin about that good ol way
And who shall wear the robe & crown
Good Lord show me the way

O brothers lets go down
Let's go down, Come on down
O brothers lets go down
Down in the river to pray

As I went down in the river to pray
Studyin about that good ol way
And who shall wear the star and crown?
Good lord show me the way

O fathers lets go down
Let's go down, Come on down
O fathers lets go down
Down in the river to pray

As I went down in the river to pray studying about that good ol way
And who shall wear th robe and crown
Good Lord show me the way

O mothers lets go down
Come on down, don't you wanna go down?
O Mothers lets go down
Down in the river to pray

As I went down in the river to pray
Studin about that good ol' way
And who shall wear the star and crown?
Good Lord show me the way

O sinners lets go down
Lets go down, come on down
O sinners lets go down
Down in the river to pray

As I went down in the river to pray
Studyin about that good ol way
And who shall wear the Robe and crown?
Good Lord show me the way

Endless highway, as far as I can see
The road'll take me back to him tonight
It's been so long since I've seen him smile
I'll be counting all the miles 'til I get home

How many hours 'til I hold him?
How many days before we hit the road again?
Endless highway, he don't know how much I miss him
Heading down this road, bound for Tennessee

Lonesome feeling, deep inside my heart
Longing for this weary night to end
I'll think about him, try to keep my tired eyes open
Come the morning light, I'll be back home again

How many hours 'til I hold him?
How many days before we hit the road again?
Endless highway, he don't know how much I miss him
Heading down this road, bound for Tennessee

Look at the sky baby
What do you see?
Looks like the tears that I cry
Fallin' down like rain on the ground
Every time you say goodbye

Take a look around now
Why don't you feel
The way that cold wind stings and bites
And your words just are like arrows through my heart
Every time you say goodbye

There's a restless feeling knocking at my door today
There's a shadow hanging 'round my garden gate
I read between the lines of words you can't disguise
Love has gone away, and put these tears in my eyes

Look at the sky baby, see how it cries?
Ain't it just like my tears
Fallin' down like rain on the ground
Every time you say goodbye

There's a restless feeling knocking at my door today
There's a shadow hanging 'round my garden gate
I read between the lines of words you can't disguise
Love has gone away, and put these tears in my eyes

There's a restless feeling knocking at my door today
There's a shadow hanging 'round my garden gate
I read between the lines of words you can't disguise
Love has gone away, and put these tears in my eyes

I used to laugh at all those songs
`bout the rambling life, the nights so long and lonely
Well, I ain't laughin' now
Now that I'm caught up, it seems
In all the same ambitious dreams
That only lonely life allows

And the home I don't go home to
The friends I don't see
Aren't the part of this life
That endears it to me

If that's the price I have to pay
For doing things my own way
Then it's what I'll have to do somehow


Till I find my way back to my heart
For there's no one but me's gonna take my part
It's too early to say that it's over
Or to find we can make a new start
It's too early to say
Till I find my way back to my heart

I thought at least we'd meet again
Since we have been the best of friends and lovers to each other
Meet again and speak our minds
Force no issues, turn no blind eye
Toward the road that lies ahead

But it seems that I missed you
By a coast and a song
When time gets so short
So what? turns to so long

I cannot keep your love inside
It's a flame I cannot hide forever
In the name of hanging on



I used to laugh at all those songs
`bout the rambling life, the nights so long and lonely

With your love I was complete
Like a haven safe from harm
Till the bitter stole the sweet
I was perfect in your arms
A precious while I had your smile
Till it all fell apart with one change of heart

The pain and regret will fade but a fact of love will still remain
You can't always trust happiness
Love like a sweet parade till the saddest part when the music fades
You can't always trust happiness

If a single star I see
Ever made a wish come true
It would bring you back to me
But the best my heart can do
Is to love again, I don't know when
Still it's worth all I fear, the heartaches and the tears

Love like a lesson learned when we pass the point of no return
You can't always trust happiness
There in love's steady glow hides the power to hurt us so
You can't always trust happiness

Way up north where the snow flies and the sun don't hardly shine
If it weren't for my true love, I'd long ago lost my mind
I'd long ago lost my mind

There's good folks here, good folks there, most everywhere I go
But the land of my heart is down where the snow white cotton grows
Where the snow white cotton grows

When the river runs over from the melting snow, we'll take to the higher ground
When the water goes down again we'll saddle our old paint
We'll be homeward bound
Me and my love will be homeward bound

Heartstrings hold tighter than the roots of a live oak tree
Holdin' through tornado winds
Tougher than timber, stronger than steel
They'll guide me back southward again
They'll guide me back southward again

When the river runs over from the melting snow, we'll take to the higher ground
And when the water goes down again we'll saddle our old paint
We'll be homeward bound
Me and my love will be homeward bound

It was so right
It was so wrong
Almost at the same time
The pain and ache
A heart can take
No one really knows
But when the memories cling and take you there
Till you no longer care
You can let go now

It's not right for me
To cling to you
Somehow I just needed time
From what was to be
It's not like me
To hold somebody down
But I was tossed high by love
Almost never came down
Only to land
Where no love is found
And I'm no longer bound
I can let go now

Last night my dear the rain was falling
I went to bed so sad and blue
Then I had a dream of you

I dreamed I was strolling in the evening
Underneath the harvest moon
I was thinking about you

Then we met out in the moonlight
The stars were shining in your eyes
But another was there too

I don't believe you've met my baby
You looked at her, you looked at me
I wondered who you were taking to

I shook the hand of your stranger
But I was shaking more inside
I was still wondering who

Your arm was resting on her shoulder
You smiled at her, she smiled at you
Her eyes were filled with victory

She said My brother wants to marry
And then my heart was filled with ease
I knew that you would marry me

I don't know why the sky is so blue
I don't know why I'm so in love with you
If there were no music, I would not get through
I don't know why I know these things, but I do

I don't know why somewhere dreams come true
I don't know where we'll find a place for you
Every time you look that way I lay down my life for you
I don't know why I know these things, but I do

I don't know why sun can make you cry
I don't know how I'm bound to get you back, but I'll try
They don't mean to cause you pain, they're just afraid of loving you
I don't know why I know these things, but I do

I don't know why the trees grow so tall
I don't know why I don't know anything at all
If there were no music, I would not get through
I don't know why I know these things, but I do, I do
I don't know why I know these things, but I do

Who knows how long I've loved you?
You know I love you still
Will I wait a lonely lifetime?
If you want me to, I will

For (and) if I ever saw you
I didn't catch your name
But it never really mattered
I will always feel the same

Love you forever and forever
Love you with all my heart
Love you whenever we're together
Love you when we're apart

And when at last I find you
Your song will fill the air
Sing it loud so I can hear you
Make it easy to be near you
For (and) the things you do endear you to me
You know I will

I will

Love you forever and forever
Love you with all my heart
Love you whenever we're together
Love you when we're apart

And when at last I find you
Your song will fill the air
Sing it loud so I can hear you
Make it easy to be near you
For (and) the things you do endear you to me
Oh, you know I will

When the curtains of night are pinned back by the stars
And the beautiful moon sweeps the sky
Dewdrops from Heaven are kissing the rose
It's then that my memory flies

Well, upon the wings of a beautiful dove
I'll hasten this message of cheer
And I'll bring you a kiss of affection and say
I'll remember you love in my prayers

Now the angels of Heaven are guarding the good
As God has ordained them to do
In answer to prayers that I offer to Him
I know there's one waiting for you

Now go where you will upon land or on sea
And I'll share all your sorrows and cares
At night as I kneel by my bedside to pray
I'll remember you, love, in my prayers

Well at night as I kneel by my bedside to pray
I'll remember you, love, in my prayers

No matter what I say or do,
I just can't seem to get inside your heart
What have I done wrong?
Lately you're so far away,
You just don't seem to hold me like you used to
Something's going on

I've got that old feeling, you're leaving
I'm so tired of goodbye
I can't wait on your love forever
While you change your mind

Morning finds us face to face
I feel you staring through me while I'm talking
Familiar looks I recognize the same old looks that said goodbye the last time
Something I'm used to

I've got that old feeling, you're leaving
I'm so tired of goodbye
I can't wait on your love forever
While you change your mind

If I could have the world and all it owns
A thousand kingdoms, a thousand thrones
If all the earth were mine to hold
With wealth my only goal

I'd spend my gold on selfish things
Without the love that Your life brings
Just a little bit more is all I'd need
'Til life was torn from me

I'd rather be in the palm of Your hand
Though rich or poor I may be
Faith can see right through the circumstance
Sees the forest in spite of the trees
Your grace provides for me

If I should walk the streets no place to sleep
No faith in promises You keep
I'd have no way to buy my bread
With a bottle for my bed

But if I trust the One who died for me
Who shed His blood to set me free
If I live my life to trust in You
Your grace will see me through

I'd rather be in the palm of Your hand
Though rich or poor I may be
Faith can see right through the circumstance
Sees the forest in spite of the trees

If I could have the world
If I could have the world and all it owns

It doesn't matter what I want
It doesn't matter what I need
It doesn't matter if I cry
Don't matter if I bleed
You've been on a road
Don't know where it goes or where it leads

It doesn't matter what I want
It doesn't matter what I need
If you've made up your mind to go
I won't beg you to stay
You've been in a cage
Throw you to the wind you fly away

It doesn't matter what I want
It doesn't matter what I need
It doesn't matter if I cry
Doesn't matter if I bleed
Feel the sting of tears
Falling on this face you've loved for years

You walked up yesterday and you told me you were leavin'
Left a note sayin' momma won't be back
But you'll come back and I've got news for you dear
You won't have a home and that's a fact

Don't you come back on your knees asking my forgiveness
Pack your bags and move on down the line
Don't you roll them eyes at me, tellin' me your sorry
It's too late babe, and it won't work this time

I've always been around, Lord when you needed someone
I played the role 'til I knew each line by heart
But now it's time to change, won't you find another playmate
Someone who'll be glad to play the part

Don't you come back on your knees asking my forgiveness
Pack your bags and move on down the line
Don't you roll them eyes at me, tellin' me your sorry
It's too late babe, and it won't work this time

Don't you come back on your knees asking my forgiveness
Pack your bags and move on down the line
Don't you roll them eyes at me, tellin' me your sorry
It's too late babe, and it won't work this time

The nights are so lonely and the days pass me by
True love has faded, left me behind
So we'll just move along and stop wasting time
It's over all over now

It's over, end of the line
It's over and your doin' fine
It's over and over and over, I'm asking why
You're leaving it's over now

Gone are the love songs that only we knew
Robbed by the cold wind that sings the night through
Gone is the sweet love, tried but untrue
It's over all over now

It's over, end of the line
It's over and my desperate heart is still trying to find some way, hoping you'll stay
Cause it's over, all over now
It's over, all over now

Through trials, troubles and care
I know Jesus my savior is there
Giving me faith through darkest days
Keeping me on the narrow way

Jesus savior, help me each day
Fill me with hope, fill me with faith
Darkness retreats at the touch of Your hand
Jesus savior, help me to stand

Jesus lived through darkest pain
Rejected by men, despising the shame
Man of sorrows, acquainted with grief
He gave his life so we may be free

Jesus savior, help me each day
Fill me with hope, fill me with faith
Darkness retreats at the touch of Your hand
Jesus savior, help me to stand

I know that Jesus died for me
Cancelled my debt at Calvary
Rose from the dead, unlocked Heaven's door
Trust in his love and live evermore

Jesus savior, help me each day
Fill me with hope, fill me with faith
Darkness retreats at the touch of Your hand
Jesus savior, help me to stand

I'm writing my last love letter
And for reasons now, I don't know where to start
Seems so many times I've written down I love you
Well I hope this time I can get that through your heart

Only fools will go on and keep talkin' to a wall
But I can't fool around forever
And if stone is the wall that you've built around your heart
Then I guess it's goodbye in this letter

And maybe I was wrong to ever think that you could love me
I was hoping you just couldn't find the time
Have my efforts been in vain with pen and paper?
Did you ever care, did I ever cross your mind?

Only fools will go on and keep talkin' to a wall
But I can't fool around forever
And if stone is the wall that you've built around your heart
Then I guess it's goodbye in this letter

In this letter
In this letter

Lost in the silence
Surrounded by daydreams
Holding that someone that's holding my heart
Thrilled with the memory
Of the smile that you gave me
Gives a close feeling
Though we're far apart

The longest highway runs between us
Though you're just a heartbeat away
When I think of you, my heart knows no difference
I've got you with me every day

If I could be anywhere
I'd truly be with you
Then once feel the embrace of your hand in mine
The longest highway
Can sure seem forever
Through every daydream
I feel closer each time

The longest highway runs between us
Though you're just a heartbeat away
When I think of you, my heart knows no difference
I've got you with me every day

I wonder should I tell you
`bout all the crazy things I've ever done
I've been searching all my life
And when I should have stayed
I tried to run
I was searching for an answer
In a world full of strangers
But what I found was never real enough
Now that I've found you
I'm looking in the eyes of love

Darlin' you've been good to me
You are so much more than I deserve
I never thought that I would find
Someone who's so sweet and kind like you
Please believe me when I say
This time I won't run away
I swear by all of heaven's stars above
Now that I've found you
I'm looking in the eyes of love


Looking in the eyes of love I can see forever
I can see you and me walking in this old world together
Lord my heart's found a home
I've been dreaming of
Now that I've found you
I'm looking in the eyes of love

Save me, free me from my heart this time
Train's going down the track and I stay behind

Nothing can free me from this ball and chain
I made up my mind that I would live today
And you're keeping me going, I know it's insane
Cause I love you, and lose again

When the heart calls, the mind obeys
And it knows better than me
Hold on one more day and maybe he'll be true

Nothing can free me from this ball and chain
I made up my mind that I would live today
And you're keeping me going, I know it's insane
Cause I love you, and I'll lose again

Save me, free me from my heart this time
Train's going down the track and I stay behind

Nothing can free me from this ball and chain
I made up my mind that I would live today
And you're keeping me going, I know it's insane
Cause I love you, and I'll lose again

Sad songs and teardrops will surely mend this broken heart
Time forgets these bitter things I feel
But your days are numbered
You'll learn your lesson well
When you finally play a heart that plays for real

There's a new fool somewhere waiting
For your old fashion heartbreak love affair
She'll see through your intentions
With each lie that you tell
And the old ways will go out with the new some way

Leaving was so easy
But old hands do make fancy moves
And I for one fell victim to your game
But someday, you'll see that cold hearts can be broken too
What goes round must come around your way

There's a new fool somewhere waiting
For your old fashion heartbreak love affair
She'll see through your intentions
With each lie that you tell
And the old ways will go out with the new some way

When I was a child
I used to love to watch the rain
I'd stand under the downspout
Let the water cool my brain
I never thought to worry
If the river rose too high
That all the seeds we planted
Would get washed out with the tide
But now I am a man
And I need a place to hide


But there's nowhere to run
And there's no place to hide
Where the water runs free
And the mud starts to slide

When I was a young man
I could work through wind and rain
I never thought to worry
Had no reason to complain
I thought that I was standing
On a rock so firm and strong
But it was easy then to see
Just what was right
And what was wrong
But now I am a man
I won't be hanging round too long

When I was a child
I used to love to watch the rain
I'd stand under the downspout
Let the water cool my brain
I never thought to worry
If the river rose too high
And all the dreams we planted
Would get washed out with the tide



Where the water runs free
And the mud starts to slide

Same old place
Same old city
What can I do?
I'm falling in love

I'm just an old hound dog
Roaming around, oh Lord
I've got all this and Heaven above

Oh, Atlanta
I hear you calling
I'm coming back to you one fine day
No need to worry
There ain't no hurry cause I'm
On my way back to Georgia
On my way back to Georgia

I get a feeling in me
When I remember all those crazy days and crazier nights
Can't you hear the music playing?
You must have heard them saying
We're gonna rip 'em up and light up the night

Oh, Atlanta
I hear you calling
I'm coming back to you one fine day
No need to worry
There ain't no hurry cause I'm
On my way back to Georgia
On my way back to Georgia

Same old place
It's the same old city
What can I do?
I'm falling in love

I'm just an old hound dog
Roaming around, Lord, Lord
I've got all this and Heaven above

Oh, Atlanta
I hear you calling
I'm coming back to you one fine day
No need to worry
There ain't no hurry cause I'm
On my way back to Georgia
On my way back to Georgia

Oh, Atlanta
Hear me calling
I'm coming back to you one fine day, hey
No need to worry
There ain't no hurry cause I'm
On my way back to Georgia
On my way back to Georgia

Just give me one good reason tonight
Must be something you could say to me
To keep me warm on this cold dark night
Can you bring out the best in me?

That old moon in shining brightly
Up above the midnight plains
I only want your love to guide me
Back through the night and take us home again

Can I bring out the best in you as well?
Must be some way you could let me know
While we wait out the sun, only time will tell
Will you love me or let me go?

That old moon in shining brightly
Up above the midnight plains
I only want your love to guide me
Back through the night and take us home again

So now my friend with this gentle plea
Can you tell me what is on your mind?
There's just one good reason, that's all I need
Chase the sorrow from your eyes

That old moon in shining brightly
Up above the midnight plains
I only want your love to guide me
Back through the night and take us home again

I've lived a dozen lifetimes in twenty-some-odd years
Got no use for trouble, got no use for tears
Can't you see it's killing me, I'm old before my time
I won't let you double the pain of a troubled life


I've had my share of sorrow, more than you could know
Save your lies and alibis, I've heard that tune before
Can't you see it's killing me, I'm old before my time
I won't let you double the pain of a troubled life

You're out all night, asleep all day, so pack it up and leave
I've got no use for trouble, trouble's using me
Don't you see my love won't be forever deaf and blind
I won't let you double the pain of a troubled life





Can't you see that love can't be forever deaf and blind?

Sometimes I'm battle weary
I forget to use my shield
The arrows pierce my armor
And I stumble in the filed

A shield won't do much good if it's hangin' by your side
Keep the shield of faith before you if you want to stay alive

I'll think my life is over
But the Lord he comes to me
He heals my wounded spirit
And he sets me on my feet

A shield won't do much good if it's hangin' by your side
Keep the shield of faith before you if you want to stay alive

Sometimes your battle weary
But the war's already won
Keep your head and hold your shield high
'Til your days of life are done

A shield won't do much good if it's hangin' by your side
Keep the shield of faith before you if you want to stay alive

Keep the shield of faith before you if you want to stay alive

Could your heart ever be mine?
Your arms hold me so close to you all through the night
Your eyes gaze into mine
Sayin' I should believe you, I always do, I don't know why

Cause you taught me a lesson the hard way one time
Told me you loved me but then changed your mind
I never told no one how I hurt down inside until now
Sleep on

Could your heart ever be mine?
My arms hold you so close to me all through the night
My heart warned me this time
But I need to believe you, so I do, just for tonight

But you taught me a lesson the hard way one time
Promised to love me but then changed your mind
I never told no one how I hurt down inside until now
Sleep on

I know I'll be lonesome
That brings about a little fear
I know I'll be sad and I'll be blue
I have given the best of me
When I forgot to say to you
What you forgot to say to me
So long, so wrong

I have tried and cared, baby, it was never enough
In your mind I never had a clue
So I'll repave the same old road I'm on
Where I forgot to say to you
What you forgot to say to me
So long, so wrong

Did we take forever in vain
Into the past
Did we think forever was really gonna last

You have tired me with your wanting ways
You can't buy yourself to be complete
I have given up caring anymore
Once you were big in a world that's small
And now you're all alone

Have we taken forever in vain
Into the past
Did we think forever was really gonna last

Steel rails, chasing sunshine round the bend
Winding through the trees, like a ribbon in the wind
I don't mind not knowing what lies down the track
Cause I'm Looking out ahead, to keep my mind from turning back

It's not the first time I've found myself alone and known
If I really had you once, then I'd have you when I'm gone
Whistle blows, blowin' lonesome in my mind
Calling me along that never ending metal line

Steel rails, chasing sunshine round the bend
Winding through the trees, like a ribbon in the wind
I don't mind not knowing what lies down the track
Cause I'm Looking out ahead, to keep my mind from turning back

Sun is shining, through the open boxcar door
Lying in my mind with the things I've known before
I've lost count of the hours, days, and nights
The rhythm of the rails keeps the motion in my mind

Steel rails, chasing sunshine round the bend
winding through the trees, like a ribbon in the wind
I don't mind not knowing what lies down the track
Cause I'm Looking out ahead, to keep my mind from turning back

Cause I'm Looking out ahead, to keep my mind from turning back

When time was young we walked the roads together
When love was sweet I meant the world to you
Now comes the sun we'll say goodbye forever
And teardrops will kiss the morning dew

Take me and make me your lover one more time
Close in your arms as before
'Til o'er your shoulder the early morning shines
Then I'll leave you and grieve you no more

When time was young we walked the roads together
When love was sweet I meant the world to you
Now comes the sun we'll say goodbye forever
And teardrops will kiss the morning dew

Daises need sunshine and roses need rain
So it was all meant to be
A wild bird needs wings, free to take to the wind
And so it was meant for you and me

When time was young we walked the roads together
When love was sweet I meant the world to you
Now comes the sun we'll say goodbye forever
And teardrops will kiss the morning dew

Teardrops will kiss the morning dew

You've made up your mind
We don't want the same thing
And that we won't change things
Wishing there were ways
And there's no use staying together
Nothing lasts forever
That's what you say

And that makes one of us not in love
And that makes one of us who can't give up
If you can walk away from the life we've made
Then that makes one of us

I still believe we've got something worth saving
I keep hoping and praying for another chance
You've held my heart and your gonna break it
Cause you wanna make it
A part of your past

And that makes one of us not in love
And that makes one of us who can't give up
If you can walk away from the life we've made
Then that makes one of us

Then that makes one of us

I met a man
Traveling down the road
He looked me in the eye
And he gave me a ring
And he gave me a rose
And he told me some gypsy lies


The road is a lover
You never recover
Not now or any time soon
My head starts to spin
When I think where I've been
Playin' twin to an old fiddle tune, oh
As the wind chases after the moon

Through the kindness
Shown me that day
I gave him this melody
And we sang in duet
`Neath the stars in the sky
And the shadows of dancing trees

I've seen hard times and I've been told
There isn't any wonder that I fall
Why do we suffer, crossing off the years
There must be a reason for it all

I've trusted in You, Jesus, to save me from my sin
Heaven is the place I call my home
But I keep on getting caught up in this world I'm living in
And Your voice it sometimes fades before I know

Hurtin' brings my heart to You, crying with my need
Depending on Your love to carry me
The love that shed His blood for all the world to see
This must be the reason for it all

Hurtin' brings my heart to You, a fortress in the storm
When what I wrap my heart around is gone
I give my heart so easily to the ruler of this world
When the one who loves me most will give me all

In all the things that cause me pain You give me eyes to see
I do believe but help my unbelief
I've seen hard times and I've been told
There is a reason for it all

It's like I always figured
You'd be gone from me so soon
A heartache would be the outcome
And I'd be singing this lonely tune

Your friends all tell me your happy now
And how good she's treating you
It looks to be the perfect love
Well tonight, I'll be lonely too

You're only trying to show me
It's no use, the pain's in your eyes
I know you've been so unhappy
Talk of new love, the words are all lies

So you'll go on pretending like always
Well tonight, I'll be lonely too

You're only trying to show me
It's no use, the pain's in your eyes
I know you've been so unhappy
Talk of new love, the words are all lies

So you'll go on pretending like always
Well tonight, I'll be lonely too

When God dips His love in my heart

When God dips His pen of love in my heart
And He writes my soul a message He wants me to know
His spirit all divine fills a sinful soul of mine
When God dips His love in my heart

Well I said I wouldn't tell it to a livin' soul
How He brought salvation and He made me whole
But I found I couldn't hide such a love as Jesus did impart
Well He made me laugh and He made me cry, set my sinful soul on fire
When God dips His love in my heart

Well sometimes though the way is dreary, dark and cold
And some unburdened sorrow keeps me from the goal
I go to God in prayer, I can always find Him there
To whisper sweet peace to my soul

Well I said I wouldn't tell it to a livin' soul
How He brought salvation and He made me whole
But I found I couldn't hide such a love as Jesus did impart
Well He made me laugh and He made me cry, set my sinful soul on fire
When God dips His love in my heart

He walked up every step of Calvary's rugged way
And gave His life completely to bring a better day
My life was steeped in sin but in love He took me in
His blood washed away every stain

I said I wouldn't tell it to a livin' soul
How He brought salvation and He made me whole
But I found I couldn't hide such a love as Jesus did impart
He made me laugh and He made me cry, set my sinful soul on fire
When God dips His love in my heart

Who can blame you, though your heart's untrue
When you say it's my fault anyway
You turn your head from the tears I've shed
Though your heart is untrue, who can blame you

You justify yourself in your love for someone else
When you say, I never loved you anyway
Your vows were made in vain, although my love still remains
Though you broke my heart in two, who can blame you

Who can blame you, though your heart's untrue
When you say it's my fault anyway
You turn your head from the tears I've shed
Though your heart is untrue, who can blame you

In a heart of rusty steel you kept your love affair concealed
'Til the day she was asking you to stay
You turned your head from the tears I've shed
Though you broke a heart in two, who can blame you

Who can blame you, though your heart's untrue
When you say it's my fault anyway
You turn your head from the tears I've shed
Though your heart is untrue, who can blame you

Who can blame you, though your heart's untrue
When you say it's my fault anyway
You turn your head from the tears I've shed
Though your heart is untrue, who can blame you

You turn your head from the tears I've shed
Though your heart is untrue, who can blame you

You may walk away in anger
Wear your heart upon your sleeve
You make act like it don't matter
Keep me laughing while you leave
But burning bridges won't get me back
If you change your mind some day
Why can't we turn this scene around
Before you walk away?

Will you be leaving, leaving me today?
Like the ocean leaves us waiting on the sand
Crumbling in our hand
I can't live this scene again

You may turn away in silence
While the tears run down your face
Say there's nothing left to bind us
Leaving love without a trace
But if I loved you well
You'd soon find out why your new love falls some day
Why can't we burn this heartache down
before you walk away?

Will you be leaving, leaving me today?
Like the ocean leaves us waiting on the sand
Crumbling in our hand
I can't live this scene again

Will you be leaving, leaving me today?
Like the ocean leaves us waiting on the sand
Crumbling in our hand
I can't live this scene again

Oh it seems the sun will never shine
The skies are so gray and the heart you left broken is lonely
The winter wind blows through the trees and with the song I sing
I long for the days you loved me only

Sorrow lingers, shadows only fill the empty room
Nights of lonely cries unheard
In the winter of a broken heart

Oh the nights will never be the same as when the love was new
Young hearts so tender in their yearning
But seasons, change and lovers too
And winter's twice as cold
But the fire in one heart is always burning

Sorrow lingers, shadows only fill the empty room
Nights of lonely cries unheard
In the winter of a broken heart

Though a million hours pass the time and lonely is the pain
And what was love is just a spell that's broken
So blow the wind and freeze the rain and try like lover's do
Seems our hearts have never really spoken

Sorrow lingers, shadows only fill the empty room
Nights of lonely cries unheard
In the winter of a broken heart

Walking out on me must be the way you show me how it feels to be her
I realize the fault is mine, I'm getting everything that I deserve

It's over and older the tears seem much colder
Sunshiney days seem to be so blue
It's over and older the tears seem much colder
Each passing day I wish I still had you

My troubles would be all over now if I could only get you off my mind
And I would give a fortune now if I could only hold you one more time

It's over and older the tears seem much colder
Sunshiney days seem to be so blue
It's over and older the tears seem much colder
Each passing day I wish I still had you
