Road Of Life

Whiskey Myers Road Of Life Lyrics
1.Thief Of Hearts

Well I was a bad boy*
Who thought I'd been around
I was a madman
Who'd been from town to town
It was a good girl
That brought me down to size
She was a devil
In a soft southern sky
She drove me crazy
Damn near drove me insane
One touch to your lips
I bet she'd do the same

And she said she'd never go away
But she haunts me til today

She was the finest damn thing that i'd ever seen
Standin right there in her cowgirl jeans
A genuine dixie belle comin at me with a rebel yell
And oohwee cold as ice
Thought i'd take a chance cause she looked kinda nice don't ya
know that looks can deceive
She had a hold of me

she had me twisted
trapped inside a web
with those lies of passion
that spun right thru my head
just like a cold chill
on a hot summer day
she was the poison
that'd swim right thru my veins

& she said she'd never go away
but she haunts me til today

she was the finest damn thing that I'd ever seen Standin right
there in her cowgirl jeans A genuine dixie belle comin at me
with a rebel yell And oohwee cold a ice thought id take a chance
cause she looked ekinda nice don't ya know that looks can
deceive she had a hold of me

she was the finest damn thing that i'd ever seen
standin right there in her cowgirl jeans
a genuine dixie belle comin at me with a rebel yell
& oohwee cold as ice
thought i'd take a chance cause she looked kinda nice don't ya
know that looks can deceive
when you give your heart to a thief


2.Gone Away

Summer is comin', to an end*
Just like the good times you'll be gone once again
Out of my life and out of this, one-horse town
Just like a bird you fly so high above the ground

But you're gone away and you left me far behind
You're gone away, can't get you outta my mind
You're gone, away, and I am here to stay
Away

Fall is so cold without you here by my side
I'm still in the same damn town and hell yeah I'm probably high
The clouds are so lonely and the sky it is so blue
And until you return my love is still for you

But you're gone away and you left me far behind
You're gone away, can't get you outta my mind
You're gone, away, and I am here to stay
Away

But you're gone away, you left me far behind
You're gone away, I can't get you outta my mind
You're gone, away, and I am here to stay
Away, yeah
Yeah

Yeah
Yeah-oh
Whoa

7.Summer 2005

Well i woke up this mornin'*
Just like the days before
There were drunks on the couch
Beer cans on the floor
Ya know I can't pay my bills
Just tryin to stay alive
It was our first house
Summer 2005

So bring on the whiskey
And the brown-eyed girls
And fire up the pit out back
While we listen to merle

That summer sun
Is settin low
I twist one up
And I'm ready to go
There's guitars on the wall
Ready to be played
Ya know we sit on our amps
Sing the songs that we made

So bring on the whiskey
And the brown-eyed girls
Fire up the pit out back
While we listen to merle

guitar

they say we got no life
& we play too loud
well they can kiss our ass
cause we're on stage now
that leap of faith
that set our lives
was there in that house
summer 2005

so bring on the whiskey
& the brown-eyed girls
fire up the pit out back
while we listen to merle
aw we listen to merle
little hank & merle

9.Nobody Knows Her Name

She sits alone in a motel room*
Watchin the sun lay low
In a western sky
It's a long way to Nashville
It's all uphill
Maybe she'll make it this time
A travellin man in a beat-up van
Playin for hopes & dreams
Maybe some gasoline
And blood from her calloused hands
Flows across the strings
But tonight she sings

And nobody knows her name
(Nobody knows her name)
Feels her pain
(Nobody feels her pain)
Won't ya sing her one more song
(Sing her one more song)
Sing it loud
(Won't ya sing along)
Won't ya sing along
Na da da da
La da da da da da
(La la la)
La da da
(La la la la)

she sits alone in a motel room
watchin the stars shine bright
in a southern sky
she hasn't seen her family in half a year
but her memories
tell her they're still here
well openin a show up outta town
she looks into the crowd
they're all singin loud
the feelin she gets when she's up on stage
is worth the price she's paid
cause tonight she plays

& nobody knows her name
(nobody knows her name)
feels her pain
(nobody feels her pain)
won't ya sing her one more song
(sing her one more song)
sing it loud
(won't ya sing along)
won't ya sing along
na da da da
la da da da da da
(la la la)
la da da
(la la la la)

& nobody knows her name
(nobody knows her name)
feels her pain
(nobody feels her pain)
won't ya sing her one more song
(sing her one more song)
sing it loud (won't ya sing along)
la da da da


10.Russell's Song

Clear skys,
weatherman said how are we to know,
how are we to know.

Clouds lie with the man upstairs,
and the wind began to blow,
the wind began to blow.

Split second is all it takes,
and our time on earth is gone,
our time is gone.

Stormy night in a warm September,
a young mans soul moves on,
a young mans sould moves on.

Hopes and dreams fall to the gound,
for-ganted life forsakes me know,
can't believe you're gone,
know how slowly time moves on.

My mind takes me back,
to when we were young,
when we were young.

Playin ball almost every fall,
those were the days,
always a smile on your face.

Smiles they come,
rain or shine,
never was a better man,
never a better man,

Caring heart and a buffled mind,
no one could understand,
no one could understand.

Hopes and dreams fall to the ground,
for-granted life forsakes me know,
can't believe you're gone,
know how slowly time moves on.

Been a year now,
since you passed,
where have the days gone,
where have they gone.

Your time on earth,
was spent to fast,
but your spirit won't live alone,
God has called you home.

Hopes and dreams fall to the ground,
for-granted life forsakes me know,
can't believe you're gone,
now i know you've just moved on.

12.Kyle Hope

'05 came around & our friends they all went off to college*
Said they were gonna do somethin with their lives
Well me & kyle hope stayed dumbasses in our home town
Out fillin ourselves up on keystone light
Well I hope they're havin a good time down there in college
station
Down at the chicken playin dominoes

Well me & kyle hope still back here in palestine, texas !
Out gettin drunk out on some ol backroads ..

And we had the stereo up & the beer iced down
We were tossin em back & burnin em down
And that's the way it goes
When your friends all leave & it's only you & me
We were headed back down to brushy creek
Til the mornin rolled around
Back in our hometown
Back in our hometown

A good cold beer & bow season
Ya know it sure made us smile
Even tried to go to tvcc for a while
Although I tried, everytime I got myself near
Kyle hope would meet me in the parkin lot
With a case of cold beer

& we had the stereo up & the beer iced down
we were tossin em back & burnin em down
& that's the way it goes
when your friends all leave & it's only you & me
we were headed back down to brushy creek
til the mornin rolled around
back in our hometown
back in our hometown

& we had the stereo up & the beer iced down
we were tossin em back & burnin em down
& that's the way it goes
when your friends all leave & it's only you & me
we were headed back down to brushy creek
til the mornin rolled around
back in our hometown
back in our hometown

palestine, texas !!


13.Lonely East TX Nights

Same old song on the radio tonight*
One about wine and roses and candlelight
But I'm getting all from you with every town that i play
Maybe this distance is more than we can take
Some where in east Texas your out alone
But I cant dry tears on the telephone
But I'm coming back to you I swear
I'll make it right I'm making my way back home on a red or
midnight flight
Ew baby here I'm comin' home
Cause I can't love you on the telephone
Ew darlin I Swear I'll make it right
No more lonely east Texas nights
No more lonely east Texas nights
Ew baby here I'm comin' home
Cause I can't love you on the telephone
Ew darlin I Swear I'll make it right
No more lonely east Texas nights
No more lonely east Texas nights
Ew baby here I'm comin' home
Cause I can't love you on the telephone
Ew darlin I Swear I'll make it right
No more lonely east Texas nights
No more lonely east Texas nights
