1.Absence Of The Heart
I write you letters, but I don't send them
I just can't figure out how to end them
I try to reach you, you're right beside me
There's something missin' and we can't deny that
CHORUS
We live together separately
We don't want to fall apart
But every time we kiss there's an emptiness
An absence of the heart
How did we lose it, why did this happen
When did we take it all for granted
We sit in silence, inside we're cryin'
How can we keep out love from dyin'
(Repeat CHORUS, 3 times)
I write you letters, but I don't send them
2.Brand New Key
I rode by bicycle past your window last night
I roller skated to your door at daylight
It almost seems that you're avoiding e
I'm ok alone but you've got something I need
Well, I've gotta brand new pair of roller skates
You've got a brand new key
I think that we should get together
And try them out ya see
I've been lookin' around a while
You've got somethin' for me
Oh, I've gotta brand new pair of roller skates
You've got a brand new key
I ride my bike, I roller skate, don't drive no car
Don't go too fast, but I go pretty far
For somebody who don't drive I've been all around the world
Some people say I've done all right for a girl
Oh yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, oh yeah, oh
yeah,
yeah-yeah
I asked your mother if you were at home
She said yes, but you weren't alone
Oh sometimes I think that you're avoiding me
I'm ok alone but you've got something I need well
Well, I've gotta brand new pair of roller skates
You've got a brand new key
I think that we should get together
And try them out ya see
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
Oh, I've gotta brand new pair of roller skates
You've gotta brand key
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
Oh, I've gotta brand new pair of roller skates
You've gotta brand key
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
Oh, I've gotta brand new pair of roller skates
You've gotta brand key
3.Dickson County
I live by the river on the wrong side of town
Nothing much to do here but listen to the sound
Of a train I'll never catch passin' me by
Of the muddy water drinkin' the tears that I cry
So I head you're comin' back with somebody else
Well, if I had the time, if I had a little help＆
Every bridge in Dickson County would be burning down tonight
Every bridge in Dickson County would be burning down tonight
I have to think of something, I just have to find a way
Before you cross that river, before I see your face
'Cause I can see your headlights and I can feel the pain
And nothing's gonna save me if I see you again
But if I could use this torch I carry to put it all to rights
I'd be baptized in the ashes come the morning light
And every bridge in Dickson County would be burning down tonight
I'd pay the price, I'd take the blame
If I could see it all go up in flames
And if I could use this torch I carry to put it all to rights
But if I could use this torch I carry to put it all to rights
Dickson County
4.Michelangelo Sky
We fell in love underneath a Michelangelo sky
We say the same things in the shapes of the clouds rolling by
A blanket of leave and the soft summer wind
Feeling the heat of the sun on our skin
That's when I learned how to fly
CHORUS
One kiss and you painted a picture of heaven
It's there when I look in your eyes
I swear I can see forever
Underneath a Michelangelo sky
Until that day I was living in black and white
The touch of your hand brings all these colors to life
I get the feeling this feeling won't fade
Here in you arms I get carried away
Back to the very first time
(Repeat CHORUS, 3 times)
5.Never Comin' Down
Caroline was born about a mile from the Mississippi
Kinda like the kudzu, she grew up fast and pretty
A little bit of Memphis, little bit of New York City
All the boys would come around, blocking up her Daddy's driveway
But she could spot a come-one coming from a mile away
She hears them callin' but she ain't fallin'
CHORUS
She want a love that's gonna last forever
She wants to stand where her feet don't touch the ground
She'd holding out for a piece of heaven
She's gonna fly and she'd never comin' down
She'd waiting tables at her Uncle Joe's ＂Bar ＆ Diner＂
And it was powerful stuff when he pulled up in a big
freightliner
He lit a cigarette and when their eyes met
She knew he'd carry her away
(Repeat CHORUS, 3 times)
She's gonna fly, She's never comin' down
She's gonna fly, She's never comin' down
She's gonna fly, She's never comin' down
6.People Miss Planes
A tear ran down his face
As she started to leave
He said, Baby, don't do this
I'm beggin' you please
What can I say to stop you
＞From walkin' out on us
I'll do anything to save our love
She said I'm through with talkin'
You know I've tried my best
I gotta leave right now
I've got a plane to catch
And he said＆
CHORUS
People miss planes
It happens all the time
They cancel their plans
They change their minds
Listen to your heart
Before you go too far
Baby turn around
Before it's too late
People miss planes
She made it to the airport
In the nick of time
In a moment she'd be gone
Yeah, she'd board that flight
She'd fly away from trouble
＞From the struggles that they had
And from everything that they had shared
A tear fell on her ticket
As she thought about their love
In just another minute
She'd give it all up
Then she heard a voice calling
Boarding flight 41
When another voice inside her head said
You don't have to get on
(Repeat CHORUS)
People miss planes
People miss planes
7.Ruby Brown
She danced in the dirty streets
Satin shoes tied to her feet
People round here said she was a sight
Every night when the sun went down
She'd curtsy, and take a bow
To the man in the moon and the dim street lights
We held in high regard
The rose in the mission yard
Singing, ＂Buffalo Gals won't you come out tonight＂
And her name was Ruby Brown
And she cam through shanty town
Like a queen without a crown
And her name was Ruby Brown
Long about ten years ago
She disappeared, why no one knows
But some say she was running for her life
'Cause a mean looking man in a limousine
Came down from New Orleans
He said he came here looking for his wife
And her name was Ruby Brown
And she cam through shanty town
Like a queen without a crown
And her name was Ruby Brown
Some was he beat her bad
'Til she just went plain mad
But I say she went where he could never go
And her name was Ruby Brown
And she cam through shanty town
Like a queen without a crown
And her name was Ruby Brown
8.The Train Song
I'm looking at you in the candlelight
I whisper softly in your ear
Feels like the stars are lining up tonight
I'm gonna hold you tenderly
Pull you close and
(CHORUS)
Love you like a freight train
Gonna roll you down the railway
I'm gonna love you like a f-f-f-f-freight train
I'm gonna love you like a (love you like a)
Freight train
Lock the door and throw the key away
I'm gonna take my time
Sun comuin' up at the break of day
Won't be the end of the line, oh baby
I'm gonna
(Repeat CHORUS)
Chuggin' up
Chuggin' up and down again
(Repeat CHORUS)
Chuggin' up
Chuggin' up and down again
I'm gonna love you like a (love you like a)
Freight train
Chuggin' up
Chuggin' up and down again
Chuggin' up
Chuggin' up and down again
Chuggin' up
Chuggin' up and down again
