A showman's life
Is a smoky bar
And the fevered chase
Of a tiny star

It's a hotel room
And a lonely wife
From what I've seen
Of a showman life
Nobody told me about this part

They told me all about
The pretty girls
And the wine
And the money

You come into the world cold and broke
Helpless, naked, scared, and screaming
They cut and slap and stick and scrub you down
Stand around and watch you sleeping, and breathing

And ain't it beautiful?
Ain't it beautiful?
Yeah, yeah
Sometimes life is messy
It ain'

I finally got my feet wet
Can I commit to this rising sea or am I coming home?
I feel like I got a freight train hit down on me
But I'm somehow hanging on
I lay awake at night and dream of things, but they can't see
Well, I try to reconcile all the plans they've made for me</

I'm a rusty set of strings that I keep windin'
There's a melody in me and I'm gonnna find it
I try to get the words right, but they mostly come out wrong
I'm a broken guitar workin' on a broken song
I'm a busted cowboy looking for a horse to ride
I'm a gust of wind looking fo

I was broke down, roadside, running from a ghost
You were top down highway one up the coast
I was waiting on a tow truck
You were flying under a mountain blue sky
After all these years trading highs and lows
Chasing love and dreams where ever they go
When I'm lost you wou

When the mountain sinks away into the desert sand
When the ocean swallows up the city streets
When the morning sun forgets to rise and the sky's no longer blue
Honey, that's when I'll quit missing you

When that shot glass on the shelf don't remind me of
All the good times a

There's always going to be another mountain to climb
Always going to be another secret to find
Don't you know, know you're not alone

There's going to be days when you've lost all hope
When the doors are locked you're out in the cold
It's alright, you can come inside

O

I can do anything with these hands
Work all day like my old man
Until I'm delirious

I know a good deal when I see one
A saint I'm never gonna be one
I'm serious

But baby, when it comes to you
There are things I can and cannot do

Darling
Stars shine whene

Cold locomotive smokin' like a bat out of the hell
The rope of your kiss is keeping my wrists on the rail
I'm runnin' out of time, I know that I'm in trouble
Gears start to grind and I can feel the rumble
Baby I'm certain that you could put a hurtin' on me

Green eyes starin

I know you're rollin' down the runway outta LAX
Takin' off to wherever you're goin' next
It doesn't matter that I'm nowhere near that jet
Baby I'm on it

You know this memory ain't gonna leave you alone
You can try to drown it out with your headphones
But it doesn't real

If I could
When I would
Go back in time yeah baby
Back before he left you
High and dry
And maybe
I could show you a thing or two
About what good love is supposed to do
He left you scared to love again
But where you're at ain't where you've been
Let me dry

I've always been broken underneath my smile
So you think that I was, happy all the while
If I'm being honest, I didn't stand a chance
Is that who I am?

Staring at my shadow, for way too long
If never did nothing, then nothing could go wrong
I've always been singing, I'v

It's like somebody flipped a switch and kicked it into overdrive
Pushed a button somewhere and made the whole place start to come alive
Got some friday night money, room full of honeys
Like dominoes ready to fall
Got me wishing I could dance with em all
Even when the music go

Gone are the feelings
Lost are the reasons
Why I should even care why I ever felt despair
Moving on, moving on never felt so good
Dead is the fire
No more flames of desire
Fill your glass to the top
Downing one, don't waste a drop
Moving on, moving on never felt s

The holes in the wall behind the picture that you hung
The one with our mouths gaping open wide frozen in a song unsung
Tell their own sad story of time
Something I held that was never mine
And I cant bring myself to patch them up

Sugars on the counter because you took your

Yeah I am who I am
Cause I been where I been
I seen the wrong side of the fence
That's why I stay on the move
Doin what I do
Llivin it up while I can

No there ain't no road block baby
Not a stop sign baby
On this rock and roll road
That gets wild, wild and f

Sleep tonight, 'til the morning light
Oh, baby, sleep tonight
It's gonna be alright

I'll be there when you learn to crawl
And when you're walking like a wind up doll
Sweet girl of mine
I'll be with you on your first day of school
And in the summer when you pee in th

Big city, small towners
Coke canners, whiskey pounders
The old and young country
Stand up and move something
Tattooed and rebel kinders
The simple kind of lifters
Smoke if you've got em lighters
The talkers and the fighters
The in and out crowds
Living this li

Well, some midnights
When the lightning strikes
And it wakes me
I hear the lover's cry
Coming from the sky
And it takes me

To where the culverts slide
And the gators crawl
They don't run from tears so strong
It's pouring down, burnin' up the ground
As th

You ain't porter
She’s a little bit fuller
Yeah? Well you’re a whole lot shorter
Let’s dance all night and fill the juke box full a quarters
Coz you ain't dolly
No and you ain't porter

I noticed you right of the back in them cowboy boots
Who couldn’t help but see yo
