Favorite Lines In Lyrics

[Stormy]

Daddy brought home a photograph from the paper yesterday
It showed a line of wagons movin some place far away
That picture made my daddy smile, it made my momma cry
It seems that Daddy's wagonload of dreams had long since passed her by

(Chorus)
And the dream that makes the sparrow fly can make an eagle fall
And one that makes the rich man money, it ain't no dream at all
It's a cryin shame to wake up just to find it's all been broke in two
Be careful what you're dreamin cause it someday may come true

He talked on all through suppertime bout the good prospector's life
Couldn't see Momma didn't wanna be no good prospector's wife
He said, "We best sell out and go before the weather turns too cold
Maybe buy ourselves an extra horse to carry all the gold"

(Repeat Chorus)

I got up as soon as the first light came to start the mornin fire
Wonderin if my momma's will had cooled that man's desire
And inside the stove upon the coals an ashen paper lay
It showed a ghostly line of wagons movin some place far away

(Repeat Chorus)

Oh be careful what you're dreamin cause it someday may come true
Yeah be careful what you're dreamin cause it someday may come true

"Jesus & Gravity" by Dolly Parton:

"I'm to the point where it don't add up.
I can't say I've come this far with my guitar on pure dumb luck.
That's not to say I know it all 'cause every time
I get too high up on my horse I fall.
'Cause I've got somethin' lifting me up,
somethin' holdin' me down.
Somethin' to give me wings and keep my feet on the ground.
I've got all I need, Jesus and gravity.

But I'm as bad as anyone
takin' all these blessin's in my life for granted one by one.
When I start to thinkin' it's all me, well,
somethin' comes along and knocks me right back on my knees.

And I've got somethin' lifting me up,
somethin' holding me down.
Somethin' to give me wings and keep my feet on the ground.
I've got all I need, Jesus and gravity.

He's my friend, He's my light.
He's my wings, He is my flight.

And I've got somethin' lifting me up,
somethin' holding me down.
Somethin' to give me wings and keep my feet on the ground.
I've got all I'm gonna need.
I've got Jesus, I've got Jesus.

I've got somethin' lifting me up,
somethin' holdin' me down.
Somethin' to give me wings and keep my feet on the ground.
I've got all I'll ever need,
'cause I've got Jesus and gravity.

Oh, I've got somethin' lifting me up,
somethin' holding me down.
Somethin' to give me wings and keep my feet on the ground.
I've got all I'll need, 'cause I've got Jesus and gravity.

Jesus, I've got Jesus, I've got Jesus.
He's my everything. He lifts me up, He gives me wings.
He gives me hope and He gives me strength,
and that's all I'll ever need as long as he keeps lifting me.

He is my life, He's my guide.
He is my wings, He is my flight.
Lift me, I got Jesus,
I've got Jesus and that's all I need."

[Stormy]

You keep his picture close beside you
It's girlish wishes that never came true
But the pony you wanted when you were a child
Is dead in the ground by now

You bring the bar home and the smell of your hair
It wilts the flowers that your girlhood put there
You're disappointed before you lay your head down
You're tired of your life in this town

In a while nothing will hurt anymore
And the hall light won't wake you behind a close door
Everyone cries and everything dies
In a while, in a while, in a while
In a while, in a while, in a while

Can praying save you as you wait by the phone?
It didn't seem to, 'cause you're still alone
And your little girl wishes worn thin as a dime
Nobody can help you this time

But in a while nothing will hurt anymore
And the hall light won't wake you behind a close door
Everyone cries and everything dies
In a while, in a while, in a while
In a while, in a while, in a while

It's horses and hay and lovers hold sway
Giving yourself away
To dapples and bays and pintos and greys
And its all just a sad lullabies, high

In a while nothing will hurt anymore
And the hall light won't wake you behind a close door
Everyone cries and everything dies
In a while, in a while, in a while
In a while, in a while, in a while

"Who Invented the Wheel" by Trisha Yearwood

"I wanna know, who invented the wheel.
Tell me who discovered steel?
It was the wheel an' the steel that caused this pain,
An' made the car that took him away.
I wanna know who invented the wheel.

I wanna know, who found the rock.
Tell me who laid the black top.
It was the rock an' the black top that caused this pain,
And made the road for the car, that took him away.
I wanna know who invented the wheel.

Somebody give me a name,
'Cause I just need someone to blame,
For all of this heartache,
And pain I've been feelin',
Since he had to go,
I wanna know.

I wanna know who invented the time,
I didn't spend when he was mine.
It was all that time I didn't take...
It was the rock and the black top that made the highway,
For the wheel and the steel for the car, that took him away.

Somebody give me a name,
'Cause I just need someone to blame,
For all of this heartache,
And pain I've been feelin',
Since he had to go,
I wanna know.
I wanna know.

I wanna know who invented the wheel."

[JR Journey]

She said hello
And I said hon', it's me
She said I might have known
And I said oh, listen please
Leaving you for her was wrong
Please let me come back home
This old town's closed down
And I have no place to go

And she said
Hell stays open all night long
Hell never closes
It's open from dawn 'til dawn
When I slammed the door to heaven
I should have known
Hell stays open all night long

She said good-bye
Don't call me anymore
For the one that I love now
Is at my door
The one that took your place
It's something you'll just have to face
As far as I'm concerned
When you have no place
to go - remember

Hell stays open all night long
Hell never closes
It's open from dawn 'til dawn
When I slammed the door to heaven
I should have known
Hell stays open all night long

"Anyway" by Martina McBride:

"You can spend your whole life buildin'
Somethin' from nothin'
One storm can come and blow it all away
Build it anyway

You can chase a dream
That seems so out of reach
And you know it might not ever come your way
Dream it anyway

(Chorus)
God is great, but sometimes life ain't good
When I pray it doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
I do it anyway

This world's gone crazy and it's hard to believe
That tomorrow will be better than today
Believe it anyway
You can love someone with all your heart
For all the right reasons
And in a moment they can choose to walk away
Love 'em anyway

(Repeat Chorus)

You can pour your soul out singin'
A song you believe in
That tomorrow they'll forget you ever sang
Sing it anyway
Yeah sing it anyway

I sing
I dream
I love anyway"

[jg2tn09]

I have to agree, there is a lot said on those lyrics.

"Suds in the Bucket" - Sara Evans

"She was in the backyard they say it was a little past nine
When her prince pulled up, a white pickup truck
Her folks should of seen it comin' it was only just a matter of time
Plenty old enough, and you can't stop love
She stuck a note on the screen door "sorry but I got to go"
That was all she wrote, her mamma's heart was broke
That was all she wrote, so the story goes

(Chorus) Now her daddy's in the kitchen starin' out the window, scratchin' and a rackin' his brains
How could 18 years just up and walk away?
Our little pony tailed girl growed up to be a woman
Now shes gone in the blink of an eye
She left the suds in the bucket and the clothes hangin' out on the line

Now don't you wonder what the preacher's gonna preach about sunday morn Nothing quite like this has happened here before
Well he must have been a looker, smooth talkin' son of gun
For such a grounded girl to just up and run
Course you can't fence time, and you can't stop love

(2nd Chorus) Now all the biddy's in the beauty shop gossip goin' non stop Sippin on pink lemonade
How could 18 years just up and walk away?
Our little pony-tailed girl growed up to be a woman
Now shes gone in the blink of an eye
She left the suds in the bucket and the clothes hangin' out on the line

(3rd chorus) She's got her pretty little bare feet hangin' out the window And they're headin' up to Vegas tonight
How could 18 years just up and walk away
Our little pony tailed girl growed up to be a woman
Now she's gone in the blink of an eye
She left the suds in the bucket and the clothes hangin' out on the line
She left the suds in the bucket and the clothes hangin' out on the line

She was in the backyard they say it was a little past nine
When her prince pulled up, a white pick up truck
Plenty old enough, and you can't stop love
No you can't fence time, and you can't stop love "

My fave lines are bolded

[Razor X]

I've had choices, since the day that I was born
There were voices, that told me right from wrong
If I had listened, I wouldn't be here today,
Living and dying with the choices I made.

[Stormy]

There are times that walk from you like some passing afternoon
Summer warmed the open window of her honeymoon
And she chose a yard to burn but the ground remembers her
Wooden spoons, her children stir her Bougainvillea blooms

There are things that drift away like our endless, numbered days
Autumn blew the quilt right off the perfect bed she made
And she's chosen to believe in the hymns her mother sings
Sunday pulls its children from their piles of fallen leaves

There are sailing ships that pass all our bodies in the grass
Springtime calls her children 'till she let's them go at last
And she's chosen where to be, though she's lost her wedding ring
Somewhere near her misplaced jar of Bougainvillea seeds

There are things we can't recall, blind as night that finds us all
Winter tucks her children in, her fragile china dolls
But my hands remember hers, rolling 'round the shaded ferns
Naked arms, her secrets still like songs I'd never learned

There are names across the sea, only now I do believe
Sometimes, with the windows closed, she'll sit and think of me
But she'll mend his tattered clothes and they'll kiss as if they know
A baby sleeps in all our bones, so scared to be alone

The lyrical masterpiece "I Think I Know" by Lee Ann Womack:

1st Verse:

I think I know what killed Keith Whitley,
And I wasn't just the whiskey,
Even with success there was a sad lonliness,
I think I know what killed Keith Whitley.

2nd Verse:

I think I know what got Hank Williams,
There was an emptiness that filled him,
Sitting in the back of that long cadillac,
I think I know what got Hank Williams.

Chorus:

Sometimes the teardrops can't be measured
Sometimes the blues have no name
Sometimes the feeling somethings missing
Grabs your heart and won't go away.

Third Verse:

I think I know what took Ol' Johnnny
And it wasn't his tired body
He went so soon after losing June
I think I know what took Ol' Johnny

Sometime the teardops can't be measured
Sometimes the blues have no name
Sometimes the feeling somethings missing
Finds your heart and won't go away

I think I know what killed Keith Whitley
And it wasn't just the Whiskey.

Bolded are the best lines

[Rainbow]

Blue
Oh, so lonesome for you
Why can't you be blue over me?

Blue
Oh, so lonesome for you
Tears fill my eyes 'till I can't see

3 o'clock in the mornin, here am I
Sitting here so lonely, so lonesome I could cry

Blue
Oh, so lonesome for you
Why can't you be blue over me?

Now that it's over, I realized
Those sweet words you whispered, were nothing but lies
Blue
Oh, so lonesome for you
Why can't you be blue over me?

Why can't you be blue, over me?

[Stormy]

Misunderstood lyrics

When you're back in your old neighborhood
The cigarettes taste so good
But you're so misunderstood
You're so misunderstood
There's something there that you can't find
Honest when you're tellin' a lie
You hurt her but you don't know why
You love her but you don't know why
Short on long term goals
There's a party there that we oughtta go to
Do you still love rock and roll?
Do you still love rock and roll?
It's only a quarter to three
Reflecting off your C.D.
You're looking at a picture of me
You're staring at a picture of me
Take the guitar player for a ride
He ain't never been satisfied
He thinks he owes some kind of debt
Be years before he gets over it
There's a fortune inside your head
All you touch turns to lead
You think you might just crawl back in bed
The fortune inside your head
You know you're just a mama's boy
Positively unemployed
So misunderstood
So misunderstood
I know you're gotta God shaped hole
Leanin' out your__
So misunderstood [x4]
I'd like to thank you all for nothin'
I'd like to thank you all for nothin' at all
I'd like to thank you all for nothin'
Nothin' [x4]
Nothin' at all
Nothin' [x3]
Nothin' at all

A bowl of grits and and an ice cold Schlitz
Are all I had for breakfast,
'Cause late last night before the Miller lights went out,
I must have done a case of Pabst,
Don't remember much, but I think perhaps,
I woke up this morning sadder Budweiser.

Ok, whose song is this? Because I think these are my new favorite lyrics, too.

[indulgedcountrymusic]

I love this song, and know every word by heart It just never gets old for me:

They say life is so much sweeter
Through the telephoto lens of fame
Around here you get just as much attention
Cheerin' at the high school football game

I dreamed of going to Nashville
Put my money down and placed my bet
But I just got the first buck of the season
I made the front page of the Turnertown Gazzette

Every last one route one rural heart's got a story to tell
Every grandma in-law ex-girlfriend
Maybe knows it just a little too well
Whether you're late for church or you're stuck in jail
Hey, word's gonna get around
Everybody dies famous in a small town

Tyler and Casey broke up
It ended pretty quietly
We heard he was caught red-handed with her mama
So that's just what they let us all believe

Every last one route one rural heart's got a story to tell
Every grandma in-law ex-girlfriend
Maybe knows it just a little too well
Whether you're late for church or you're stuck in jail
Hey, word's gonna get around
Everybody dies famous in a small town

Well baby who need's their faces in a magazine
Me and you, we've been stars of this town since we were seventeen
Let's go on down to the quick stop
Wear your yellow shades and I'll put on my tight jeans
And we'll just spend the weekend burnin' rubber
And we'll let 'em point and stare in disbelief

Every last one route one rural heart's got a story to tell
Every grandma in-law ex-girlfriend
Maybe knows it just a little too well
Whether you're late for church or you're stuck in jail
Hey, word's gonna get around
Everybody dies famous in a small town
Everybody dies famous in a small town

[Razor X]

My kinda gal.

Mine too.

Do they even make Schlitz and Pabst anymore?

[Razor X]

A bowl of grits and and an ice cold Schlitz
Are all I had for breakfast,
'Cause late last night before the Miller lights went out,
I must have done a case of Pabst,
Don't remember much, but I think perhaps,
I woke up this morning sadder Budweiser.

Ok, whose song is this? Because I think these are my new favorite lyrics, too.

My kinda gal.

On second thought, I could live without the bowl of grits.
