Little Lorrie, Little Lorrie's got her dancin' shoes Little Lorrie, Little Lorrie's got the rhythm and the blues and the ooh's and the aah's She knows what she wants and I know that she doesn't want me Little Lorrie's the finest girl in this town Little Lorrie knows just how to knock me down night after night, I cry and I cry I just want to be her guy So I said Hey there sugar babe don't you think it's mighty strange you're dancing all alone I'm a two-steppin', love-makin', heart-breakin, leg-shakin' Man down to the bone Little Lorrie, Little Lorrie didn't like that much Spun me around and said "keep your mouth shut" Dancin' and singin', independent women like me don't need your opinion Then I looked around, what did I see Lorrie and my best friend dancin' next to me One-step, two-step, three-step, four I'll find another girl on the dance floor Little Lorrie, Little Lorrie's got a sister names Jane Takes two to tango but she brings me lots of Pain and sorrow, like there's no tomorrow I guess it's all the same So I said Hey there sugar babe don't you think it's mighty strange you're dancing all alone I'm a two-steppin', love-makin', heart-breakin, leg-shakin' Man down to the bone Little Lorrie, Little Lorrie's got her dancin' shoes Little Lorrie, Little Lorrie's got the rhythm and the blues and the ooh's and the aah's She knows what she wants and I know that she doesn't want me and I know that she doesn't want me and I know that she doesn't want me

I was lost in the barroom, I was lost in sin I was lost in the cycle of whiskey and gin And I heard myself saying, at the end of my wits the bottom of the bottle, is the problem I admit Sleep sweetly, leave my thoughts behind They'll be gone soon Keep steady, weep with dry eyes These things I do, are not in the bible But lord, keep me straight and true As I leave my belongings, and I pack up my bags I look around this town at the memories I've had Drink a bottle, drink a bottle is the tune that I sang Now on my way home, this tune has changed Sleep sweetly, leave my thoughts behind They'll be gone soon Keep steady, weep with dry eyes These things I do, are not in the bible But lord, keep me straight and true I pull in the driveway, and I shuffle my feet I've been driving down this highway for what seems like a week and my mother's eyes widened as she opened that door it's good to have you back son, oh, it's good to have you back son, Sleep sweetly, leave my thoughts behind They'll be gone soon Keep steady, weep with dry eyes These things I do, are not in the bible But she'll keep me straight and true These things I do, They're in the bible And she keeps me straight and true

There's a woman who sleeps in the garden, She whistles a song with the wind the flowers grow all around her she thinks about the life she could have lived An old man tends the garden He picks up the leaves in the fall He hears her whistling in his homestead He listens to her sad song One winter day the ground froze solid He dug himself a snowy grave A flower grew from the soil Reminding him of her embrace There's a woman who sleeps in the garden, and a man who courted her long ago but now she's gone and he's tired all of his time he spends alone

I used to run through the grass, green and gold All I had to do was watch the lightning bugs glow The world wasn't hard to understand Cause my world had only just began I used to chase after bikes down the street the ground was always too hot for my bare feet Days went on, and on, and on, and on And now all that time is gone My little brother used to follow me around Anywhere I went, there he'd be found With a silly little grin on his face And now I wish we lived in the same place And it was blue skies, forever, forever and I was always thinking that I knew better, better and now time's are a changin' and everything's different I'm getting older and I wish that I had listened I wish that I had listened My mama loved to sing to me She'd say baby girl, you're growing like a string bean Fresh on the vine, don't let let nobody pluck you off Before it's your time And I know you think you're so grown But baby girl, you're only skin and bones Oh yeah I was only skin and bones Cause it was blue skies, forever, forever and I was always thinking that I knew better, better and now time's are a changin' and everything's different I'm getting older and I wish that I had listened I wish that I had listened I wish that I had listened, I wish that I had listened
