it's amazing how u can speak right to my heart
without saying a word u can light up the dark
try as I may, I can never explain
what I hear when u don't say a thing

the smile on your face let's me know that u need me
there's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me

the touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
you say it best when you say nothing at all

all day long I can hear people talking out loud
but when u hold me near u drown out the crowd
old Mr Webster could never define
what's being said between your heart and mine

the smile on your face let's me know that u need me
there's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me

the touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
you say it best when you say nothing at all

I left home when I was seventeen
just grew tired of falling down


yanno u guys I think I just figured out my problem - I am just made of too many memories - I am stting here listening to this song in tears but I am not sad




....and I 'm sure I was told
that the lure of the road would be all I found
and all the answers that I started with
turned out questions in the end

and the years rolled on by
and just like the sky
the road never ends

and the people who love me
still ask me
when are you coming back to town

and I answer quite frankly
when they stop building roads

and there aint no more highways to be found

and I answer quite frankly
when they stop building roads

and all God needs is gravity to hold me down.

I dont know that I will ever trust again
it's a price that I must pay for all my sins
time has changed me and
left me full of doubt

and my heart has been lost
never to be found

when I reach the place i'm goin'
I will surely know my way

and I will turn and look inside me
bid farewell to one more day

baby open up that bottle
come and lay down by my side

I don't have no special reason
just this ache I feel inside

I wanna lose my inhibitions
I wanna lose those words we said

I wanna drink my fill of u babe
let it go right to my head

tonight I wanna hold u
I wanna look into your eyes

I wanna watch these broken dreams
turn into memories

just like the water baby
just like water into wine

I like to dream Yes, yes right between the sound machine
On a cloud of sight I drift in the night
Any place it goes is right
Goes far, flies near, to the stars away from here

come with me little girl..on a magic carpet ride

when I woke up this morning
you were on my mind
you were on my mind

ya didn't have to love me like ya did,
but ya did, yeah ya did....
and I thank you

all my life I've been shortchanged
with out your love baby
it's a crying shame

what's new ***** cat
whoa whoa whoa

When I woke up the next morning,
You looked right through me
Through your eyes crying,
I could finally see
They said, "please baby please"

Well I left my home searching up for green grass
Headed for Pine Ridge and points beyond
But on the road I met an impasse
Every direction looked just like home

It's knowing that your door is always open and your path is free to walk
that keeps you in the back roads and the rivers of my memory...
that keeps you ever gentle on my mind.

When I get older they think I'm a fool
The teacher told me I should stay after school
She caught me pounding on the desk with my hands
But my licks was so hot I made the teacher wanna dance

doctor said, girl ya better
have some fun no matter what you do
but he's a fool...
nothing compares to you

ya didn't have to be so nice
I would have liked you anyway...

When I think back
On all the crap I learned in high school
It's a wonder
I can think at all
And though my lack of education
Hasn't hurt me none
I can read the writing on the wall

Now the revenue man wanted Grandaddy bad
He headed up the holler with everything he had
It's before my time but I've been told
He never came back from Copperhead Road

I pulled into Nazareth, I was feelin' about half past dead;
I just need some place where I can lay my head.
"Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?"
He just grinned and shook my hand, and "No!", was all he said.
