Lyrics

Hey little girl, is your daddy home
The first time that I heard those words it cut me to the bone
And I learned how to play
On a garage sale guitar
On a down bound train we’d go dancing in the dark.

And I learned to turn a phrase and bend a rhyme
I found the saddest songs come in three quarter time
And the girls all look different at the boys standing on the stage

The screen door slams
And Mary’s dress did wave
I leaned on them lines til I had something to say
I played every dive
Every Honky Tonk and bar
I burned up my glory days like some ole stolen car

And I gave my heart to a lonesome song
I found the highway would strip you to the bone
And God knows it ain’t easy but it’s easier with a woman by your side
Don’t let that fire die

And I learned to turn a phrase and bend a rhyme
I found the saddest songs come in three quarter time
And the girls all look different at the boys standing on the stage
