She was a banker’s daughter
She played tennis on the clay by the pool She’d vacation in my hometown for summers She was pretty and she was cool
I think I can make it to Macon
I think I have a plan
If I can make it to Macon
Then all that I am is inside your hands
And it’s all that I’ll ever have
We will write letters during December
Make plans for the coming, July
I’ll never forget the night I kiss those lips
The fireworks were never so bright
After the parties, the rich folks would go
Her father let me know that I was too low
But I can’t quite remember, and I’ll never forget
The way that she smiled and waved as she left
I think I can make it to Macon
I think I remember the way
If I can make it to Macon

When she drove her beat up Honda down
It was more of an escape from a dangerous man
And when she got where she was running to
She did with all the pretty girls do
Y’all need some therapy, but I am OK
I’ll deal with my problems some other time, some other day
Cause life is good when you don’t know no better
I ain’t nothing but tricks and feathers
And she ain’t nothing but tricks and feathers
This time I’m really going to leave
The sparkle I can no longer see!Except at night when I drive these streets
My rearview in front of me
My rear view always in front of me
The call came in on a Sunday morning
Nobody knew who the hell she was
And I don’t think anyone did miss her
Except for her Momma and maybe the dog
Except for her Momma and maybe the dog

Heaven knows
Sometimes I feel lost in this place
Life is a mystery a puzzle a maze !And all of the heartache, struggle and fear
Heaven knows why we are here
I want to live my life like a child
With son in my hand and rain in my eyes
With a warmth of a love, you can’t help but feel
Heaven knows why we are here
So run while you can
Dance Sing and Play
Gather your roses before they turn gray
And if you get lucky and live all your years
Heaven knows why we are here
Some spend their days digging for gold
And pile all their treasure and always want more
And all your possession will soon disappear
Heaven knows why we are here
And you may find where you belong
As you may find yourself after all
Take my hand, love I’ll lead you home
I want you beside me wherever I go
I saved the place in my heart for you the one I hold, dear
Heaven knows why we are here

You and me been riding together so far too long
Still smoke like a cold burning train down at the yard
I’m drinking for two maybe three if shit’s going wrong
Old habits die hard, but sometimes they don’t die at all
Old habits, they die hard
But mine don’t seem to die at all
In fact, they get stronger, the longer I let them run
Old habits die hard, but sometimes they don’t die at all
You and me had our fun, but the party still going on
20 years after the day, you turned 21
The women and whiskey and gambling been good to me
But I ain’t got a dime left and they ain’t got nothing for free
You and me had better sit on down and have a talk
Ain’t no way I can go on singing them same old songs
But I’ll never forget you what a hell of a ride
But I’m getting older in time ain’t on my side
