His daddy was a simple man, just a red dirt georgia farmer
And his momma spent her young life havin' kids and balin' hay
He had fifteen years and an ache inside to wander
So he hopped a freight in waycross and wound up in l.a.

Lord, the cold nights had no pity on a waycross, georgia farm boy
Most days he went hungry, then the summer came
He met a girl known on the strip as san francisco's mabel joy
Destitutions child born of an l.a. street called

This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the some days are diamonds album, and has also been released on the country roads collection album.


Nashville tears are lonely signs that point to broken hearts
Broken lives and families that love has split apart
Children who miss daddy, mommy's on the run
The pleasure that is painful and hidden from the sun

Nashville hearts are lonely words that speak of love gone wrong
Sad and soulful stories and beautiful love songs
Foe each and every melody of happiness denied
You know that there's another one that shows the other side

Country love is kisses in the kitchen
Country love is honest and it's true
Country love is home with your family
County love's the way that i love you

Country love is silky nights and warm familiar hands
Someone who's been there before and always understands

Nashville nights are lonely roads that we've all travelled on
Sometimes they take you far away or they can bring you home
If you're lost out on the highway, do not deny the dove
When nashville night's the question, the answer's country love

Country love is kisses in the kitchen
Country love is honest and it's true
Country love is home with your family
County love's the way that i love you

Country love is kisses in the kitchen
Country love is honest and it's true
Country love is home with your family
County love's the way that i love you

For someone who's got everything, life can still be rough
If things are what you're lookin' for, there's never quite enough
And all the tea in china won't make a house a home
You can be a millionaire and still be sleepin' alone

There might be some one night stands to ease the pain inside
Or someone you can call around if you've lost all your pride
Please don't be mistaken. i don't mean to put that down
I know there's times when anything is better than sleepin' alone

Sleepin' alone can make a bottle just about your dearest friend
Sleepin' alone can make you swear to god this night will never end

You know it's not company you are lookin' for
You know it's not just pleasure, you know it's somethin' more
You know it's not the answer if it's not like comin' home
If the one who's there doesn't really care, it's worse than sleepin' alone

Sleepin' alone can make a bottle just about your dearest friend
Sleepin' alone can make you swear to god this night will never end

For someone who's got everything, life can still be rough
If things are what you're lookin' for, there's never quite enough
And all the gold that glitters won't make a house a home
You can be a millionaire and still be sleepin' alone
You might be a millionaire and still be sleepin' alone

In the airport lounge she sat in a marlena dietrich hat
The grandest lady i had ever seen
Outside the heavy rains had grounded all the planes
So i asked her if she'd like some company

In my rhinestone studded suit, my cowboy hat and boots
I must have been a sight for her to see
But she said, "pull up a chair," as she fumbled with her hair
A more unlikely pair you'll never see

I was mogen david wine, she was chablis fifty-nine
But there we sat, the cowboy and the lady
She was evenings at the opera and summers in paree
I was grand ole opry, nashville, tennessee

The cowboy and the lady
As diff'rent as could be
But it seemed so right that rainy night
In tennessee

Then somewhere in between her harey's bristol creme
And the seven beers i ordered for the lady
We somehow came together for a night of stormy weather
Now there's a bit of class in this old cowboy
And there's a little bit of cowboy in the lady

The cowboy and the lady
As diff'rent as could be
But it seemed so right that rainy night
In tennessee

We somehow came together for a night of stormy weather
Now there's a bit of class in this old cowboy
And there's a little bit of cowboy in the lady

If our lives could lie before us
Like a straight and narrow highway
So that we could see forever
Long before we took the ride
We would never look to heaven
Mke a wish or climb a mountain
'cause we'd always know the answer
To what's on the other side

But life ain't no easy freeway
Just some gravel on the road
You pay for ev'ry mile you go
And you spraed some dust around
But we all have destinations
And the dust will settle down
This life ain't no easy freeway
Just some gravel on the road

So let's walk the road together
Who knows what we'll find tomorrow
Maybe good times maybe sorrow
Both are waitin' round the bend
Given time two hearts discover
What they're feelin' for each other
At the best we'll end up lovers
At the least we'll make a friend

But life ain't no easy freeway
Just some gravel on the road
You pay for ev'ry mile you go
And you spread some dust around
But we all have destinations
And the dust will settle down
This life ain't no easy freeway
Just some gravel on the road
