Old 8x10 lyrics

Dirt road in the twi-lght, woods so cool and dark.
Up a-head pale ne-on, somewhere a dog barks,
Honky-tonk moon, keeps shining on my ba-by and me

Breaking up the pool balls, chalk-ing up the cues
Juke box pumping soft-ly, lazy sum-mer blues
Honky-tonk moon, keeps shining on my ba-by and me

Chorus

Through the blue smok-y haze, all through the days

Cheap perfume, and painted faces...
fallen angels fill the places
where I go when my troubles bring me down.
All the lies, I know they'll tell me,
and the time that they will sell me...
for a while, I'll be the biggest man in town.

Back at home...
in bed, she's crying.
For her love for me is dying.
But she'll pray I make it safely through the night.
When the morning sun starts showing,

You can throw away my picture, empty out my dresser drawer
Break up all the dishes, change the lock on the door
But you cant erase my memory, no matter how you try
It dont mean its over, just because you said goodbye
I'm sorry that I hurt you, but you made me so mad
If I dont care about you, why do I feel so bad
We're almost out of sugar, and our matches got wet

If I'd have been all you ever wanted
I wonder how much better I'd be
And I know you think it's over
'Cause you're so far away
But darlin' you're still here with me

And I will hold you always
No matter how far we're apart
You could be anywhere in the world tonight
But I'd still have you here in my heart

I don't try to forget you, don't cry over regrets

the writing is on the wall, baby
We're different as day and night
But I guess that I refused to face it
The blues in black and white

When I got home I knew, baby
Something was wrong tonight
When I found the note you wrote ,it gave
The blues in black and white

CHORUS

Color my world without you in it
And the future dont look too bright
Darlin' its not a pretty picture

I'm gonna take you down to the riverside
Where the water runs slow and wide
There's a big ole rock out in the middle
And I took my hammer and chisel
And worked all night so you could see
Just how much you mean to me
I carved your name right next to mine
And it'll be there till the end of time
And my love will last at least that long

It's written in stone how I feel for you

well know it ain't much
but it's all that i have since she's gone

one black and white mem'ry
of the only love i've ever known
one moment in time
when we were together
a page from the past
to haunt me forever
a constant reminder that hearts heal much slower than bones

chorus:
now my whole world's in one 8x10
with 4 metal walls holding it in
through one plate glass window

Being without you has turned out to be so inconvienent
and wishing i was with you just seems to use up all my time
you been gone so long that it's hard to recall just how the dream went
and all but this broken heart and me i guesss is doing' fine

(chorus)
is it still over are we still through
since my phone still aint ringing
i assume it still aint you

I'll just turn away, there's not need to watch her leaving
I don't want to let her see me cry
And the part of me that's breaking
Is The part that has been taking her for granted
And that's why she said goodbye

I twas me that let her down and left her lonely
But her leaving me was never in my plan
It started with my lying
And it ended with me crying
