Verse 1

I'm thinkin about what you said
after you told me you lied
said you were being selfish
it was all just foolish pride
you did it to protect me
guard my heart
against something that would
tear us apart
we couldn't survive


Verse 2

I told you to hit the road
kick rocks it's over and done
I can't go on not believing you
now that my trust in you is gone
if you fess up, woman up
make it right in every way
we can get past this
continue living out our days

Chorus

my heart knows I love you
everyday I live, I do it true
walking down this Indiana dirt road
many thoughts circleing my mind
but they all lead me back to you
wish I would control this jet stream
maybe God will intervene and help me see it through
let this wind carry the words from my heart send them straight to you

Verse 3

I ain't fakin I'm really achin this way
my hearts bleedin,
I won't last another day
I'm all alone now
nobody around to turn too
my hearts like the neon lights
a faded bluenow I regret it
being so quick to let you go


Chorus

my heart knows I love you
everyday I live, I do it true
walking down this Indiana dirt road
many thoughts circleing my mind
but they all lead me back to you
wish I would control this jet stream
maybe God will intervene and help me see it through
let this wind carry the words from my heart send them straight to you

He'd wake up around three am
he'd say boy are you comin
got crack my eyes open and just
wish I could sleep in

he'd say we gotta get on the water before sunrise
if you want to catch a biggun
those words would fire me up
make get up and start moving

that cup of black coffee in his hand
better get you some breakfast boy
if you don't you'll wish you did

gotta get on the water before dawn
come one son, let's get the move on
grab a bit to eat be fast
light a fire under your ass
if you wanna catch a lunker
hurry up get in the truck, don't get stuck
this morning if you're quiet enough
we just may have some luck!

on the water suns peaking over the trees
I can hear the buzzbait zipping as dads realing it in
haven't had a bite all morning but that's alright
just the time with him was the best of all
best of my life

gotta get on the water before dawn
come one son, let's get the move on
grab a bit to eat be fast
light a fire under your ass
if you wanna catch a lunker
hurry up get in the truck, don't get stuck
this morning if you're quiet enough
we just may have some luck!

now that dads gone
I still fish our spot
I bring my son with me
to try out luck
I look across the water
I'm reminded of Dad with every ripple
in my heart I'm so happy Dad
took me fishin
so at three am I'm hollering at my son!

gotta get on the water before dawn
come one son, let's get the move on
grab a bit to eat be fast
light a fire under your ass
if you wanna catch a lunker
hurry up get in the truck, don't get stuck
this morning if you're quiet enough
we just may have some luck

(Verse)
if I call you I hope you answer
I've been all alone nine shows to go
it's been a long hard road without you

I just get by with these thoughts about you
this old boy wrote a new country song
if we pray enough together it might make number one

Little Rock off to Kansas
it's so damn cold here in Colby
God I wish you were with me
in my arms, making me complete and he


wishes he could feel her kisses
the softness the touch of her skin that's so precious
sent from up above, one of God's great designs

in his arms he really needs to feel the
heat of her breath close to his heart
on his chest, she's always on his mind

(Chorus)
I'm like a rolling stone, cruising along
I'm just not coming home now
this tours led me down this old dirt road so far from our home
it's been hell, without you here
I've got nothing to show but my love for you, it's always been true, no doubt
our pain might grow with our distance but our love light won't fizzle out.

(Verse)

the phone rings
its from her at 3 am
neon lights shine thru the window
she says baby I sure need you
can't even explain how much I miss you

his face lights up, he wipes the sleep from his eyes, the tears fill them up as he cries
youre my best friend
the words carry energy
cut thru the phone lines

this tours led me down this old dirt road so far from our home
it's been hell, without you here
I've got nothing to show but my love for you, it's always been true, no doubt
our pain might grow with our distance but our love light won't fizzle out.

if I call I hope you answer
I've been all alone nine shows to go
it's been a long hard road without you
I just get by with these thoughts about you
this old boy wrote a new country song
if we pray enough it might make number one

this tours led me down this lonely old dirt road
it's been hell, I've got nothing to show but my love for you, it's always been true, no doubt
our pain might grow with our distance but our love light won't fizzle out.

out.
won't fizzle out!

Kristen I love you
