When I woke up this morning, I wiped the sleep from my eyes.

I found a new day dawning and suddenly I realized,

I can't see you, but I can feel

Like a scar that just won't heal.

Blue eyed gypsy you're still with me everywhere I go,

Lonely won't leave me alone.

I'm a little boy with glasses, the one they call 'the geek'.

A little girl who never smiles 'cause I've got braces on my teeth.

And I know how it feels to cry myself to sleep.

I'm that kid on every play ground who's always chosen last.

A single teenage mother tryin' to overcome my past.

You don't have to be my friend, but is it too much to ask?

It's been a while since she's heard him say,

'See you tonight' his usual way.

There's always some place he's gotta go, somewhere he needs to be.

And it's not thesame now when they touch

She figures he's just working too much.

Somehow that makes it all ok

And gets her through another day.

I don't know how I've survived

In this cold and empty world for all this time,

I only know that I'm alive

Because you love me.

When I recall what I've been through

There's some things that I wish I didn't do,

But now I do the things I do

Because you love me.

Dancin' in the dark, middle of the night.

Takin' your heart and holdin' it tight.

Emotional touch touching my skin

And asking you to do what you've been doing all over again

Oh it's a beautiful thing

Don't think I can keep it all in

But I gotta let you know

What it is that won't let me go.

I'll post answers later.

The name of it is " Don't take your guns to town" It was sung by Johnny Cash and was a pretty big hit. He included it in his " Gunfighter " album.

How about : My son called another man daddy

He'll ne're know my name nor my face

God only knows how it hurts me

For another to be in my place.

Each night, I lay there in prison

I pictured a future so bright

For he was the one ray of sunshine

That shone through the darkness of night

HI Guys....Doodle..that one is sad...I can tell...and I don't want to skip it...I just want to "add" one from me....Oddly enough, I found a couple I like...I can't guess any of yours, but I am sure you will get this one...

<DIR>

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder

You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger

May you never take one single breath for granted

God forbid love ever leave you empty handed

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean

Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens

Promise me that you'll give fate the fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance...

</DIR>

I hope you dance by:leann womak sp?

I want a man who stands beside me

not in front or behind me!

LOL! This is not going to work. Your songs are to new for me and mine too old for you. However, I do like the words to that song verbage.

BY-the-way, the song I wrote the words to is, " My Son Calls Another Man Daddy" and it was a semi-hit for Hank Williams.

LOL See what I mean about age. Sorry Jotter , I don't know that one.

ML, or Doodle...do you know the words to "Walkin' after Midnight"? I love that song....

Lee Anne Womack is the way it's spelled, I believe (I sang that song at my grad, I SHOULD know the words!)

Jo Dee Messina 'Stand Beside Me'(good song!)

You are right about Lee Annes' last name...WOW! not only are you an Odd of beautiful words, but you sing too? My daughter just sang at her 8thgrade promotion cerimony...I wish I had those kinda guts!

How's about y'all take a crack at this one?

"It's kinda like a lost and found in a motor town

Your asking about a diamond ring

They just look at you like you've lost your mind

say they, haven't seen a thing

But I know she's been here lately, I can still smell her perfume

She gets crazy, on a full moon."

Well that's My Maria - Brooks & Dunn.

Can ya name this one....

when he left he took my brand new silverado. I started thumbin' and I finally hitched a ride. I just came in here to drink a beer and watch the red necks fight.

Gretchen Wilson's "One Bud Wiser"

I oughta know that one. I am a rednuck. Which is a cross between a redneck and a Canuck.

Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone
Let's pretend that we're together all alone
I'll tell the man to turn the juke box way down low
And you can tell your friend there with you he'll have to go.

Re:Post #8 When you say nothing at all was originally recorded by Keith Whitley

Bubbles your song is by Jim Reeves:He'll have to go

So Ninjamom1, what is your song ?

Opps,sorry about that,we've been part of a war zone lately.

If you could see deep into my heart
Feel what I'm feeling
Its like I have become a part of history
The greatest story ever told
You're love has me believing
Loving you will be my legacy
And you can trust
I'll remain true
And all because of you
