I never dreamed it could be A someone made just for me. When I´m letting her have her way, I´m here to see what she has to say. Aw, the poor girl always wins the day.
I´m stayin´ ahead of the game, And she´s a-doin´ the same, And the whiskey flyin´ into my head. The fiddler´s arm has gone dead, And talk is beginning to spread
When did our love go bad? Whatever happened to the best friend that I had? It´s been so long since I held you tight Been so long since we said goodnight. The taste of tears is bittersweet. When you´re near me, my heart forgets to beat. You´re there every night Among the good and the true, And I´ll be around, waitin´ for you.
Well, the king of them all Is starting to fall.
I lost my gal at the boatman´s ball. The night has a thousand hearts and eyes. Hope may vanish, but it never dies. I´ll see you tomorrow when freedom rings. I´m gonna stay on top of things. It´s the middle of summer, And the moon is blue. And I´ll be around, waitin´ for you. Another deal gone down, Another man done gone. You put up with it all, and you carry on. Something holding you back, But you´ll come through. I´d bet the world and everything in it on you. Happiness is but a state of mind. Anytime you want, you can cross the state line. You don´t need to be rich or well-to-do,
