Well hank made a living out of lonely
He sang like a freight train whistle moan
Said "you'll never get out of this world alive"
As if he'd always known, lord, lord
As if he'd always known

Rode down that hillbilly highway
Took a big black cadillac on home
And he said

You just wanna be weird
You're just hopin' that someone will notice you
Go ahead and be weird
'Cause we know it's just a phase you're goin' through

You're so concerned with being cool
You're so concerned with being hip
And every move is for effect
But just how stran

People talkin', think I'm alright
Think I'm doin' fine
Goin' through the motioms of my life
Go to work now, every mornin'
Yeah, I play the part
Hide away the contents of my solemn heart
But when the sun goes down
And the moon is high
I can't control the flow of al

There's a tomcat in the alley scarin' up a fight
There's a mother softly kissing her little one goodnight
There's peace and then there's chaos, reality and dreams
We're all trying to strike a balance between a whisper and a scream

Sometimes I need atttention when you need left

In the after hours
Slowly shifting down
Last call is over
The sign is turned around
The chairs are on the tables
The drinks are on the house
The talk is on the level
The truth is coming out
Lonesome hounds
Hangin''round
In the after hours
Slowly shifti

Have you ever seen a wild magnolia
There's only one place it grows
On the shady banks of the tennessee river
Sheltered, untouched and alone
There's a place in my heart where nobody has been
And i keep it for you
There's a door to my dreams and one day you'll walk in
A

She'll turn thirty-four this weekend
She'll go out with her girlfriends
They'll drink some margaritas, cut up and carry on
There'll be guys and there'll be come ons
She'll probably get hit on
But she thinks all the good ones are gone

She's got friends down at the office

You come banging on the screen door, begging me to let you in
All I got to say is, "Honey, where you been?"
This time I think it's you that's surrenderin'

Chorus:

I've already fallen
Yeah, I've already fallen
If you're waiting on me you're backing up
I'm way in ov

We can talk and talk all night
If you want to
That's allright
'Till I heard every word
You got to say

Go ahead and take your time
If you got something on your mind
But it won't change the way I feel, anyway

Chorus:
That's ancient history to me now
Some

Who's that knocking in the middle of the night
With a hand full of flowers to make it all right
If you're thinking i'll forgive you one more time
I ain't that lonely and love ain't that blind

I'd be better off blue for a couple of nights
Better blue now than the rest of my

Now betty was your average ordinary girl
Never wanted very much out of this world
Just an occasional dinner and twirl, from a regular guy

So betty sat up one lonely night
Trying to figure out what a man might like
Then like a bolt right out of the blue, she got herself a pl

Her lips and her dress, they're both ruby red
She thinks that's how you hide the pain you feel inside
And she comes out every night to soak up the neon light
Her perfume fills the air, people stop and stare, but...

Blue Rose is looking for the moon in someone's eyes
Blue R

Tonight I'm burning old love letters
Photographs and memories of you
Hoping somehow I'll feel better
And when the smoke is gone I won't want you
Burning mem'ries (teardrops fall while I am) burning mem'ries
Burning all those memories of you that I can't lose
My heart to y

Sweet abilena looks out at the midwestern sky
Sweet seventeen with a faraway look in her eyes
She said, "i feel like a bird in a cage
But come september i'm flying away"
I said, "i'm gonna miss you" then i made her promise to write

Since we were tall as the corn in the spri

Well, I said he had a lot of potential,
he was only misunderstood.
You know, he really didn't mean to treat me so bad,
he wanted to be good.
And I swore one day I would tame him,
even though he loves to run hog wild.
Just call me Cleopatra, everybody,
cause I'm the Qu

You think
You own whatever land you land on
The earth
Is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock
And tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name

You think
The only people who are people
Are the people
Who look and think like

Well, I see the world thru an unusual lens
A little nutty if you ask my friends
I probably bought my shrink a Mercedes Benz
But its paying off now

From clear across the room its easy to see
unmistakeable electricity
But thats coming from someone warped as me
So I'll

Night is fallin' on this honky tonk city
Country music spillin' out on the street
Sure can sound good to a hard workin' man
At the end of a hard workin' week

Did you kiss him when he left this morning
Does he know that he's needed at home
If you don't feel that old thr

If you're commin' with me you need nerves of steel.
'Cuz I take corners on two wheels.
It's a never - ending circus ride!
The faint of heart need not apply.

CHORUS:
Mi vida loca,
Over and over
Destiny turns on a dime.
I go where the wind blows,
You can't tam
