Strait From The Heart

The band had just started when they walked in the door
He sat her at a table and strolled out on the floor
He grabbed the first sweet thang that gave him the eye
And left the door open for the steal of the night
Three dances later she was still in her chair
He was still on the dance floor like he didn't care
So i eased on over, there was no ring in sight
And i found myself facing the steal of the night.

(chorus)
She was the steal of the night,
Oh yeah, she was the steal of the night
He long hair flowing and her jeans so tight
I held her close and it felt so right
She was the steal of the night
Oh yeah, she was the steal of the night
He left her lonely and the pickings were right
She was the steal of the night

We danced every slow one the band could play
Was it ever this easy for ole jesse james
Had the gold in my hands and the banker was blind
Just inches away from the steal of the night
When the band stopped playing we walked to the car
As i closed the door he ran out of the bar
Saw him shaking his fist under the parking lot light
As i strolled away with the steal of the night

(repeat chorus)
(repeat chorus and fade out)

Now who wouldn't notice the fire in your eyes
Or the bitter direction of impending good-byes
I've followed and folded, i'm wilted in place
At the sight of you standing with streaks down your face

With your heart broke and running from the reason
You got your heart broke, don't give up on believing in me
Heart broke, who kept me from leaving?
With my heart broke

Now pride is a drag and a bore when you're lonely
Sheer madness prevails upon reason to you
But all is not lost, it's only mistaken
That's small consolation but i know just how you feel

With your heart broke and running from the reason
You got your heart broke, don't give up on believing in me
Heart broke , who kept me from leaving?
With my heart broke

Nobody said it was going to be easy
We all have feelings that need a softer touch
But nobody said that it would not be worth it
The human condition continues as such

With your heart broke and running from the reason
Youõve got your heart broke, don't give up on believing in me
Heart broke, who kept me from leaving?
With my heart broke, youõve got me heart broke

We said goodbye
In marina del rey
"i had a good time"
Was the last thing i heard her say
As i walked away
And on this plane back to tennessee
My mind comes across her memory
And yesterday
In marina del rey

Chorus:
On a hidden beach under a golden sun
She spread a blanket
That we laid down on and loved the world away
In marina del rey
And as we looked into each other's eyes
We found our body's lost in paradise
Like castaways
In marina del rey

Like the ocean tides
High and lows
Love sometimes comes and goes away
In marina del rey
And as this plane is touching down
Tears touch my eyes for i have found
My heart has stayed
In marina del rey

Chorus

There's a secret that i know about the lady that i love so
And i'm the only one she's shown her secret to
She's gentle and she's kind
She's proper and refine
But she lets down more than her hair
Alone in our room

Chorus:
Cause she's more than a lady
And there's a fire that burns behind those eyes
She's more than a lady
And every night when we lay down
And she slips off her satin gown
Oh, she proves she's a lover in disguise
She's a lover in disguise

When we go out somewhere
The men may stop and stare
But they see she's a lady
So they leave her alone
She's more than she seems
And in their wildest dreams
They could never dream of what it's like to take her home

Repeat chorus

She's a lover in disguise
She's a lover in disguise
She's a lover in disguise

amarillo by morning
Up from san antone
Everything that i've got
Is just what i've got on
When that sun is high
In that texas sky
I'll be bucking it to county fair
Amarillo by morning
Amarillo i'll be there

They took my saddle in houston
Broke my leg in sante fe
Lost my wife and a girlfriend
Somewhere along the way
Well i'll be looking for eight
When they pull that gate
And i'm hoping that
Judge ain't blind
Amarillo by morning
Amarillo's on my mind

Amarillo by morning
Up from san antone
Everything that i've got
Is just what i've got on
I ain't got a dime
But what i've got is mine
I ain't rich
But lord i'm free
Amarillo by morning
Amarillo's where i'll be

Amarillo by morning
Amarillo's where i'll be
