She used to love me
But she just couldn't say it
Her friends just told me
I just found out today
I could have had her in my arms
But I didn't know
That she used to love me
But that was twenty-five women ago
If she just could have told me
You know I would have been true
But she knows all about the girls that I've had
There's not a thing I can do
Why did they have to tell me
I wish that I just d...
I heard something I never could have thought would ever exist
Coming home was only a myth
I saw something can't make it up but could never forget
Seeing only what the water reflects
Seems all right, should have known
I don't care if you're not alone
In the brackish waters of home
Reasoning what I had lost
Watching the ? rain falling down
Where we went around
Falling to brackish sound
Trees and...
I'm a little too ripe to be actin' like this
Like some young guy barely got his first kiss
From my first baby steps to my last cigarette
Every single little thing was leading to this
Christine Irene
Pretty as a girl on a magazine
Christine Irene
My Christine Irene
You've been around too long to react so coy
Like I'm something that you'd best avoid
Like a first date kiss from an anxious guy
Kno...
She's got me dizzy
She sees me through to the end
She's got me in her hands
And there's no use in pretending
Christine, sixteen
Christine, sixteen
She drives me crazy
I want to give her all I've got
And she's hot every day and night
There is no doubt about it
I don't usually say things like this to girls your age
Christine, sixteen
But when I saw you coming out of the school that day
That day ...
? lays in the dark all day
She waits for the sun to go down
And in her novel we appear
To change her moods around
Well she forgets you now
Well she forgets you now
And girls like that they own the world
They'll sell you what you need
On languid streets you search for her so ? in her sleep
Well she leads you on
Well she leads you on
Dream with you
Well she could only dream with you
And the dist...
I hear that train a comin'
It's rollin' around the bend
I ain't seen the sunshine
Since I don't know when
Well, I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
And time keeps draggin' on
That train keeps rollin'
On down to San Antone
When I was just a baby
My mama told me, "Son
Always be good boy
Don't you ever play with guns"
But I shot a man in Reno
Just to watch him die
When I hear that lonesome whistle
I hang ...
Here's a little something that I brought here for you
It ain't much but it might just do
Fairly serious could hardly say
That I couldn't give my heart away
I couldn't give my heart away
It's never enough to feel and say
Throw my promises away
Several things that I could do
But I couldn't give my heart to you
I couldn't give my heart to you
Smokes on the table the matches are lost
There's room ...
When the candles dim
Pull the curtains up and close your eyes
Go to sleep
Let the moonlight fill the bed all night
Won't matter how
It won't matter what or when or why
Just lay in bed
Let the moonlight fill the bed all night
If you come back in its place
Can we forgive and forget mistakes we've made
Just hold on now
We'll be everywhere
Can we just pretend
That the moon has turned and slipped a...
Well I'll get drunk and you can drive
It seems more than a week in my head's gone by
I often wander inside your head
But I wonder if it's worth the try
I believe in nothing at all and nothing is enough for me
'Cause from the silent grave of an empty heaven
I don't find it hard to believe
That the blue sky is falling down
On the heads of the people of this foolish town
The sky is open and I don...
Spit it out, the sad truth
One of many secrets we acquired in youth
My dirty clothes lately I keep them
In the luggage that you to gave me
With a little luck, one night
We'll drink together in a different light
Our heads down, our ears ring
We only see angels when we both believe
Take me, take mine, hide it away
Take me, take mine, hide it away
Spit it up, the right words
Of course we always k...
Well darlin' I don't know much
But I know I learned so much
My life depends on your touch
For my love is a river running soul deep
Way down inside me it's soul deep
Too big to hide and it can't be denied
My love is a river running soul deep
I'd put myself to death for ya
Just to show I adore ya
Nothin' I wouldn't do for ya
Cause my love is a river running soul deep
Way down inside me it's soul...
What
And give somebody all of my time
That word, we'd never really cross that line
My fault, I wonder why you never heard
It's my fault, probably I never should
All the time I've known you
And maybe I shoulda told you what
All the time I've known you
And maybe I shoulda told you what
What
And give somebody all my time
That thought it never really crossed my mind
My fault
I wonder if you're cou...
I could fall asleep for you my girl but it's not enough
And the scenes of your last visit lie buried in the dust
If I don't fall in love with you my girl, please understand
I'll go find another county and leave it in the end
I've seen forty-seven pictures all with you upon the face
From the noise I'm making running is a secondary pace
From the scenes of your last visit I still feel it where we...
