Going through my closet the other day I found an old yearbook flipped right to the page of that senior trip Down there on that Panama strip We all started yellin' when we smelled the beach Couldn't wait to try our fake IDs We only had a few days And a whole lot of memories to make Oh, man, we were livin' Didn't waste one minute We talked and drank and danced and said, goodbye We laughed until we cried This past year my family Was sittin' cross-legged 'round the Christmas tree Listenin' to granddad We all knew it'd probably be his last He was crackin' jokes, and we were takin' turns Tellin' stories 'bout fishin' or lessons learned Out on the porch with him We all felt like kids again Oh, man, we were livin' Sittin' there reminiscing We sang and talked and traveled back in time We laughed until we cried It's like the best days under the sun Every emotion rolled into one A little of this, a little of that Kinda happy, kinda sad Just the other night the baby was cryin' So, I got out of bed rocked her awhile And I held her tight And I told her it would be alright And my mind went back to a few years ago When we tried so long, we almost gave up hope And I remember you Comin' in and tellin' me the news Oh, man, we were livin' Going crazy in the kitchen We danced and screamed and held each other tight We laughed until we cried

Country roads Old theater marquee signs Parking lots And billboards flying by Spanish moss Little hick town squares Wild roses on a river bank Girl, it's almost like you're there, oh Every mile, a memory Every song, another scene From some old movie going back in time, you and me Every day, a page turned down Every night, a lonesome sound Like a freight train rolling through my dreams Every mile, a memory Red sun down Out across the western sky Takes me back To the fire in your eyes Texas stars In a purple night Not seein' 'em with you baby Oh, they never do them right, no Every mile, a memory Every song, another scene From some old movie going back in time, you and me Every day, a page turned down Every night, a lonesome sound Like a freight train rollin' through my dreams Every mile, a memory Funny how no matter where I run 'Round every bend I only see Just how far I haven't come Every mile, a memory Every song, another scene From some old movie going back in time Every day, a page turned down Every night, a lonesome sound Like a freight train rollin' through my dreams Every mile, a memory Every mile, a memory Every mile, a memory

Baby I was a loser Several years on the DOLE An Englishman with a very high voice Doing rock and roll There are seas of sleeveless T-shirts And queues around the block And every man, woman and child Wants to Suck my cock! I'm in a band with my brother and my two best mates So I never leave the house without my SM58 Every inch of you You know I'm gonna work it Every inch of you Alright!

Now I'm of consenting age to be forgetting you in a cabaret. Somewhere downtown where a burlesque queen may even ask my name As she sheds her skin on stage I'm seated and sweating to a dance song on the club's P.A. The strip joint veteran sits two away Smirking between dignified sips Of his dignified peach and lime daiquiri And isn't this exactly where you'd like me I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know Praying for love in a lap dance and paying in naivety Oh, and isn't this exactly where you'd like me I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know Praying for love in a lap dance and paying in naivety Oh, but I'm afraid that I Well, I may of faked it And I wouldn't be caught dead in this place Well, I'm afraid that I Well, that's right, that I may have faked it And I wouldn't be caught dead in this place And isn't this exactly where you'd like me I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know Praying for love in a lap dance and paying in naivety Oh, and isn't this exactly where you'd like me I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know Praying for love in a lap dance and paying in naivety Well, I'm afraid that I Well, I may of faked it And I wouldn't be caught dead in this place Well, I'm afraid that I Well, that's right, well I may have faked it And I wouldn't be caught dead in this place And isn't this exactly where you'd like me I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know Praying for love in a lap dance and paying in naivety Oh, and isn't this exactly where you'd like me I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know Praying for love in a lap dance and paying in naivety Praying for love and paying in naivety Praying for love and paying in naivety, oh

Burst into heaven Kiss in the cotton clouds Arctic sheets and fields of wheat I can't stop coming down Your shrunken head Looking down on me above Send me home like an elephant stone To smash my dream of love Dreaming 'til the sun goes down And night turns into day Rooms are empty, I've got plenty You could move in right away Seems like there's a hole In my dreams In my dreams In my dreams Down through the heavens Choke on the cotton clouds Arctic sheets and fields of wheat I can't stop coming down Your shrunken head Looking down on me above Send me home like an elephant stone To smash my dream of love Didn't your bed and bookshelf go And run, run, run away These four walls saw the rise and fall And your midnight getaway Seems like there's a hole In my dreams Or so it seems Yet nothing means anything Anymore

Gallows end waiting for the ones in line They defied the hands of doom Reign of death, turning everything to waste By the power of the king born With a heart of stone Like a devil's spawn Strive to crush the dreams of everyone below Only death relieves When their eyes turns black And the horrors will remain, with the heart of stone Heart of stone, heart of stone No one knows what goes on within those walls But the silence says it all No regrets by the ones who form the line They have had enough at last and With a heart of stone Like a devil's spawn Strive to crush the dreams of everyone below Only death relieves When their eyes turns black And the horrors will remain, with the heart of stone Heart of stone, heart of stone Heart of stone, heart of stone Death is knocking upon your gate of twisted lies Mark my words, there won't be another day this time Death is knocking upon your gate of twisted lies Mark my words, there won't be another day this time Gallows end waiting for the ones in line They defied the hands of doom Reign of death, turning everything to waste By the power of the king born With a heart of stone Like a devil's spawn Strive to crush the dreams of everyone below Only death relieves When their eyes turns black And the horrors will remain With the heart of stone Like a devil's spawn Strive to crush the dreams of everyone below Only death relieves When their eyes turns black And the horrors will remain, with the heart of stone Heart of stone, heart of stone
