Whenever she walks flowers grow in her footsteps Whenever she talks all the birds hush their singing The heart of a saint and the face of an angel Absolutely unbelievably beautiful And when this cruel worlds been gettin me down Shell take my frown and shell turn it back around Like a clown, shell crack a joke Acting crazy as a fool Absolutely unbelievably beautiful Itd be a big old fat lie, if I said I Wasnt turned on just by her looks alone Shes so much more, so much more than meets the eye Shes an angel on loan from up above And when I come home and the day is sinkin down Shell set the mood and put some soft slow music on And all 7 wonders aint half as wonderful Never ceases to amaze me The epitome of what love should be Absolutely unbelievably beautiful

She said she was not the one for me There was nothing I could do to change her mind She said she was sorry but some things arent meant to be She was unaware that she was robbing her heart blind What she dont know is Ill always love her forever What she dont know is that Ive never done her wrong Underestimation will break her heart for sure What she cant see, what she dont know Wont hurt her but its killing me Deep in the shadows of the smokey neon lights I play myself in a lonely game of pool I chalk it up as he sits down by her side I take another shot, swallow my pride and I play a fool Chorus Watching her dance with him Around that empty hardwood floor Is like putting sawdust in the wound And I cry a little more Chorus

For the life of me will her memory keep on keepin me awake? This empty pillow by my head is proof you sleep in the bed that you make Just like a fool I did nothin, nothin short of helpin her pack Wish I could find a way, find the words to say To bring my baby back Ive got a good thing goin, and she aint slowin down A good thing goin, showin no sign of turnin around If I could go back, somehow backtrack Id undo all I did wrong, but Ive got a bad feelin my good thing goin is a good thing gone Thought shed at least call to say that she was ok While she left me walkin the floor Maybe she was long gone long before she ever set foot out that door I guess over time the love in her heart was overshadowed by her heartaches She didnt scream or shout, she had it all mapped out, and she never even tapped the brakes Ive got a good thing goin, and she aint slowin down A good thing goin, showin no sign of turnin around If I could go back, somehow backtrack Id undo all I did wrong, but Ive got a bad feelin my good thing goin is a good thing gone There goes my life down that highway All of my dreams slippin further away from this broken home Ive gotta put the pieces all back together Ive got a good thing goin, and she aint slowin down A good thing goin, showin no signs of turnin around If I could go back, somehow backtrack Id undo all I did wrong, but Ive got a bad feelin my good thing goin is a good thing gone Ive got a good thing goin

Now he dont expect her to stay true to him And she never says that she will But hes got a first love that just might kill him And she knows hes hooked on the thrill So shell wait and worry then shell wait some more For the fever that drives him to just run its course She talks to that picture they took their last night Together Says you cant be a cowboy forever No you cant be a cowboy forever Sometimes he calls her he swears that the ground hurts More than it did yesterday She knows his voice and he still sounds determined to do Whatever it takes So shell wait and worry then shell wait some more For the fever that drives him to just run its course The whiskey he drinks said some things last spring That upset her Lord he cant be a cowboy forever No you cant be a cowboy forever Then one night he shows up and says whats for dinner With that cocky grin on his face the way that she smiled And the way that she held him, told him he wasnt too late She closed her eyes and he put that ring on her finger Said you cant be a cowboy forever No you cant be a cowboy forever No you cant be a cowboy forever

On a stage behind chicken wire at the roughest biker bar in town Dodgin chairs and broken beer bottles but I wouldnt put that guitar down Down the road another night another show never known if somebodys showin up You live to play another day the things youll do to do what you love Oh the things youll do like sleepin in an old church van Where youre payin your dues playin for free workin three jobs so that you can Well the fact that Im alive and Im singin this song is a miracle from above Thanks to the Man and every fan the things youll do to do what you love Out in the cold in the freezin snow I got down on my knee Sold my six string, bought you a ring and said honey will you marry me please? Girl Ill admit it was well worth it but gettin rid of that guitar was tough Thank God you bought it back the next day, the things youll do to do what you love Oh the things youll do Like when you woke me up at 4AM You were seven months pregnant cravin ice cream, a jar of pickles and a can of spam When I heard what you said I jumped out of bed and I drove off in my pick up truck I saw your smile and it made it all worthwhile the things youll do to do what you love Oh the things youll do like workin overtime makin ends meet Well youre broke as a joke but it aint funny always feelin flat dead on your feet But the kids are fed and their jumpin on the bed and you cant keep from crackin up Youre changin ties the Lord provides the things youll do to do what you love Lord is it true?

He calls from a hotel in downtown Dallas Says he wont be home for three more days She gets so lonely in her Houston hill top palace Talking to her self as their two-year-old plays She rocks the baby to sleep then gets in bed Reads romance novels of a love she once had She closes her eyes and dreams about the man Who gave her more than money and a call now and then Chorus: As the shine on her diamond starts to fade She recalls the promises they made But a bond can only bend so far before it breaks Shes stuck between a rock and a heartache She tries to keep busy with her everyday routines Soap operas in the afternoons, after she cleans As she wipes off a picture frame from their wedding day She wonders if he asked her again what would she say Chorus She feels like shes stranded somewhere in no mans land Cause her life is like a prisoners chained to a wedding band Chorus

His song comes on the radio, and brings back your memory And reminds me of the way that it used to be You loved all his hits like hello darlin and tight fittin jeans I just wish your leaving were only make believe Every time I hear those songs it makes me think about you And how we used to sing along to all the ones that we knew Its not that they arent good I used to love them to But every time I hear those songs it makes me think about you He may have been the best friend that any song ever had But when I hear that growl in his voice it always makes me sad It hurts to hear him sing Im not through loving you yet Lord only knows what Id give if I could forget Daddy left us when I was only three All he left behind were those Conway Twitty records and me Momma every time I hear those songs it makes me think about you

In every little town from Dalhart to Laredo Theres a corner cafe with an open sign in the window As soon as you walk in a waitress greets you with a grin And says make yourself feel right at home Old men sit at a booth telling tall tales and stretching the truth Bragging how bad the good ol days used to be Theyre all too tired to plow besides their tractors are rusted now So they order hot apple pie with a cup of coffee CHORUS Some things will never change After all these years the menu is still the same Serving that sweet ice tea with a touch of southern hospitality So order yourself a taste of yesterday at a Texas Cafe Theres a Wurlitzer jukebox full of old forty fives Playing three songs for a quarter or one for a dime The cook said he was a boy when it was brand new To him it seemed like yesterday but it was 1962 There was a family owned five and dime next door That could not compete with a chain discount store On the outskirts of town the drive in theater is shut down With a screen without a hero since Audie Murphy CHORUS There are fields with no grain, railroad tracks with no train And an old courthouse with nobody left to blame Town square is boarded up and brick roads are worn down But the chicken fried steak special is still around CHORUS

The years are flying faster now So tell me how eight seconds feel so slow And I wonder where old cowboys go After the rodeo Lord, I wonder where old cowboys go
