Found that old book that you lent me I never gave it back And the fact I didn't read it Makes me feel twice as bad And Oh I've been thinking lately We broke Every promise we made Because we grew apart Sad to think how all that time passed by We knew it from the start That nothing lasts forever right? There's no more you and I Because we grew apart Haven't heard from you much lately It's nice to hear you speak Strange to think that you once knew me But now you're just a memory And Oh I've been thinking lately We broke Every promise we made Because we grew apart Sad to think how all that time passed by We knew it from the start That nothing lasts forever right? There's no more you and I Because we grew apart We're strangers And I'll blame time The silent danger Of drifting apart Because we grew apart We knew it from the start That nothing lasts forever right? There's no more you and I Because we grew apart

I was just leaving, I was just up and walking When someone said something That was likely my name But I didn't turn and I just kept on walking Got to my car and I am presently driving And darlin', I can't go back to Petrolia, With something I owe you, I think you already know that.

And you'll have to sell that house and move to the city She says no, no, no Out of all the places I could run, Lonely's destination number one. And I'll deny it all a little more. Yeah I done it, but I don't know what I did it for. Stopped at this truck stop Right outside Woodstock, I was gonna get something, But the whole thing was closed. And then I thought I might turn back And then I thought I might call you But I didn't do that, I just kept going. And darlin' I can't go back to Petrolia With something I owe you. I think you already know that. You know that I love you I just cannot live with you. And you'll have to sell that house and get lost in the city. She says no, no, no.

Packing tape and boxes Won't imagine every line To carefully negotiate piles, set aside You can keep the tv I'll never find the time That bag we bought together Aint feel like mine In quite a while Every window is open Spring time and bloom I'm standing, in an empty room I read a lot of books 'Bout how to be alone I don't take much of nothing To realy feel at home Bearing walls of promising But lonely as can be They're good for casting shadows But my shadow's casting me I keep on making plans I keep on falling through I'm standing in an empty room Whenever I think of you I hope you're doing fine I'm glad u find a reason To get out from time to time Me I'm doing ok But I won't stay trouble free I've got a couple friends with me To keep me company They drag me to party I walked in and I saw you Now everbody is watching Wondering what they do Oo I figured this will happen But I didn't know how soon I'm standing in an empty room Now I'm standing in an empty room

Frosty The Snowman Was a jolly happy soul With a corn cob pipe and a button nose And two eyes made out of coal Frosty The Snowman Was a fairytale they say He was made of snow But the children know That he came to life one day There must have been some magic In that old silk hat they found For when they placed it on his head He began to dance around Oh, Frosty The Snowman Was as live as he could be And the children say he could laugh and play Just the same as you and me Oh, Frosty The Snowman Knew the sun was hot that day So, he said let's run and we'll have some fun Now before I melt away Down to the village With a broomstick in his hand Running here and there All around the square Saying catch me if you can He led them down the streets of town Right to the traffic cop He only paused a moment When he heard him holler stop Oh, Frosty The Snowman Had to hurry on his way But he waved goodbye Saying don't you cry I'll be back again some day Thumpity thump thump Thumpity thump thump Look at Frosty go Thumpity thump thump Thumpity thump thump Over the hills of snow

Blue sky breeze and a trail of dust Sunday slow like fender rust Ain't much else out here but us And it fits just right Cotton sheets out on a line Red rose bloom on a July vine Sunset glass, a front porch wine And it taste just right I ain't saying Heaven can't get any better Is it too much to ask to just stay here forever You shine like lights in the city And they know for miles around You're out of this world pretty And I'm pretty sure by now You could've had anybody But you went and did what you did Broke every heart in town When you picked this rural route kid Shooting stars and summer rain Fall like me when you say my name And after all who could blame These arms right here Wrapped around you in a warm sunrise Hot coffee cup and your green eyes I'll tell you no one's more surprised Then this ole boy here You shine like lights in the city And they know for miles around You're out of this world pretty And I'm pretty sure by now You could've had anybody But you went and did what you did Broke every heart in town When you picked this rural route kid I ain't saying that Heaven can't get any better Is it too much to ask to just stay here forever You shine like lights in the city And they know for miles around You're out of this world pretty And I'm pretty sure by now You could've had anybody You went and did what you did Broke every heart in town When you picked this rural route kid When you picked this rural route kid I'm just a rural route kid
