Remember when the days were long And rolled beneath a deep blue sky Didn’t have a care in the world With mommy and daddy standin’ by But "happily ever after" fails And we’ve been poisoned by these fairy tales The lawyer dwell on small details Since daddy had to fly But i know a place […]
B.r. hornsby/john hornsby Zappo music/basically gasp music (ascap) Sit there with a blank expression Say you can’t go on anymore It’s not like me to come out and help you Mabye i’ve been down this road before Been living in the shadows Now you come out slow Now you’re in the saddle Got to ride […]

B. r. hornsby/john hornsby There’s a place A local roadside shack A poor man’s paris with a parking lot in the back There’s a girl there She knows how to unwind She don’t talk much but she knows just how to act I said – don’t tell me she don’t love me The money’s just […]
