Chrome lyrics

It's the hour of ghosts I'm the sole surivior
You keep pushing me
To pull an all-nighter
Watching on these walls
Memory silhouettes
All the tender times
All the old regrets

And I wish I could take back our last goodbye
Knowing what I know now about foolish pride
I'd hold you in my loving arms
And say I love you so
And I wouldn't start this story
Once upon a fool ago

(Stephen Allen Davis)
My daddy was blue collar
He worked for the man all of his life
He showed up when he didn't want to be there
A man of his word, believed in doing things right
I remember when i was a kid
He'd say time and time again
It's a good life; it's a real good life
And I'm a thankful man
I'm a thankful man for every turn
On every highway I've been down

Maybe you were right, maybe I was wrong
Maybe I said goodbye a little too strong
But, you been away way too long... Come home
A little too harsh, a little too loud
Out there on the edge of a little too proud
But baby, you oughta see me now... Come home

Come Home, come home
Tell me all is forgiven, let's get back to livin'
Come home

I know there ain't no way to take it all back

I never knew what smog was 'til I moved to LA
They say it's the City of Angels, but they ain't no Saints
If I spend one more day on this freeway I might snap
'Cause I can't take a breath and I can't see the crest of those mountains
That lie in my path

I've got to get back to the farm
Where the cars aren't alarmed
And the people are happy to see ya

Hold me like there's no next time
Like it's the last time you'll have the chance too
Show me how much you want me
Like I'm the only thing that matters
No one knows when the world's gonna end
So let's make love like we never will again

'Cause if the sun never rises, I wanna go down in flames
I want the last thing I hear to be you whisperin' my name

Once in a lifetime
You'll open up your heart
Maybe once in your lifetime
You'll swear to never be apart
You think your love's on solid ground
Then out of the blue, it all comes tumblin' down

Who's gonna hold me tonight
When I'm feeling lonely
Who's gonna show me the light
'Cause I need to know
With all the things we've got
How can love just stop
Tell Me
Somebody help me understand

This gettin up early, pulling double shifts,

Gonna make an old man of me long before I ever get rich.

But I'm tryin

It's been two years since we've finalized,

I still ain't used to puttin ex in front of wife.

But I'm tryin.

Send more money right away, is pretty much all she has to say when she

Calls these days and don't you be late

Well, I never really did anything wrong

But I guess I didn't do much right

It caught me off guard when I got home

And you weren't here tonight
Your not says I'm gonna be sorry

And that one of these days I'm gonna pay...well

You don't know what you're talking about

You think you've got it all figured out

Well I hate to be the one to break it to you

I wake up late at night
Makin' sure you're still by my side
I try hard not to make a sound
Can't help my heart it just beats so loud
So full of love I could burst
The way I feel about you girl I wanna just

Scream at the top of my lungs
Tell the whole world how much I love you
Shout it from the highest mountain
Let 'em know I found the girl of my dreams

Give me a front porch with a summer breeze
Give me "Yes Ma'am", "No Sir" and "Thank you",
"Please"
Give me a hero who don't lie, steal or cheat
And a little good news
Give me Christmas through children's eyes
One vacation good as advertised
Most of all, as if it's any surprise
Baby, give me you

At the top of my list of life's good things

Chrome, She can see herself In the shiny grill and the
Wire wheels of a red Chevelle with four on the floor and the top down
Chrome, zippin' by on an Electra Glide
With dual tail pipes doin' 105 in the broad daylight
On a two-lane headin' outta town

Chorus:
Forget Pink and purple paisleys
little mellow-yellow daisies
Ain't no pot of gold in her rainbow
