When I was young and in my prime, in my prime
I left my home in Caroline
Now all I do is sit and pine, for all those folks I left behind
I got the blue ridge mountain blues and I sat right here to say
"My grip is packed to travel and I?m back to ramble
To my blue ridge far away"
I?m goin? to stay right by my pa, I?m goin? to do right by my ma
I?ll hang around the cabin door, no work or worry a...
At every glance, you steal from me
I catch your eyes still offering
You've got desire bought with deceit
'Cause borrowed love ain't never free
I vainly swear in my starved mind
To crave your look only one more time
And pray not to reap what we might sow
If borrowed love should start to grow
Borrowed love, not yours for givin'
Borrowed love, not mine to seek
Borrowed love, this road we're takin...
1, 2, 3, 4
Soon the pines will be falling everywhere
Village children fight each other for a share
And the 6:09 goes roaring past the creek
Deacon Lee prepares his sermon for next week
I saw grandma yesterday down at the store
Well she'd really going fine for eighty four
Well she asked me if sometime I'd fix her barn
Poor old girl she needs a hand to run the farm
And it's good old country comf...
Mobile station,
Where I stand
This old gas pump
In my hand.
The Boss don't like me
Face like a weasel,
All on my hands
The smell of diesel.
Here comes the big shot,
Here he comes
From the city.
God Damn
A V-8 engine
She runs so pretty.
Woo
Fill 'er up son
With unleaded.
I need a full tank of gas
where I'm headed
Up in the front seat
A pretty red head,
We're going to Vegas
We're gonna get wed
S...
Well I have stood upon the mountain
I have seen the other side
Wrestled with the devil
I have wrestled with my pride
Been down in the valley
I have stood out in the rain
Seen my love forsaken
Felt the pleasure and the pain
There's one thing that's for certain
One chord that rings true
Well it's a mighty world we live in
But the truth is we're only passin' thru
I have cried in tears of sadness
...
Love is a burning thing
Love is a burning thing
Love is a burning thing
It makes a fiery ring
Bound by wild desire
I fell into a ring of fire
I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire
The taste of love is sweet
When hearts like ours meet
I fell for you like a child
Oh, but the fire went wi...
Sometimes I feel like an innocent one
To deserve this fate what I have, I ever done
I know that I made all the rules
But time can even change the hopeless ways of fools
I love you tonight like I did yesterday
I won't think of tomorrow or the price I pay
I drink from the well, my soul is dry
I never know why
All I want is for your love to be all mine
But the angels won't have it
All I want is j...
The last time I thought about leavin'
Was the last time I made her cry
I talked myself out of believin'
That true, true love never dies
The first time I
Thought of returnin'
Was just ten lonesome
Miles out of town
But my foolish pride
Kept these wheels a-turnin'
Yeah, there was nothin'
On this earth gonna shut me down
But if I had one drop of water
For each and every tear I have cried
I'd sail...
