[Vs1]

In a desert place,

Where my heart resides,

I can’t forget your calling;

I can see your face,

A smile wide,

And in my arms you’re falling.

[Vs2]

That those days persist,

After all this time,

Is a loving testimony;

To those times I miss,

You by my side –

I’ll always love you only.

CHORUS / VERSE

All the winds of time,

Blow a gentle rhyme,

Your name's a quiet chorus;

And the wind’s our song,

Says we still belong -

Forever’s winds will hold us.

[Vs3]

Your blue eyes at night,

Are clear in my sight,

Even when I am still sleeping;

When new mornings come,

And dreaming's done,

I feel your heart still beating...

CHORUS / VERSE

All the winds of time,

Blow a gentle rhyme,

Your name's a quiet chorus;

And the wind’s our song,

Says we still belong -

Forever’s winds will hold us.

[Vs4]]

If you could have stayed,

Leaving delayed,

You'd still be here tomorrow;

But that hope has passed,

Yet I hold fast,

To thoughts that hide my sorrow.

CHORUS / VERSE

All the winds of time,

Blow a gentle rhyme,

Your name's a quiet chorus;

And the wind’s our song,

Says we still belong -

Forever’s winds will hold us.

[Vs1]

Every touch from you is nice,

Like Tequila over ice,

And the wind from the lake is dancing with your hair…

With stardust in your eyes,

And moonlight passing by,

The whole world could crumble and I wouldn’t care –

[Pre-Chorus]

And with it I will…

CHORUS 1

Crumble –

I only want to crumble…

Crumble in your tender arms the whole night long;

Crumble –

Why don’t we both crumble…

In this velvet darkness we can’t be wrong –

So let’s just crumble.

[Vs2]

If I hold you closer,

The air will boil over,

And the only breath that’s left will be in our kiss…

Forever’s not too far,

If we stay right where we are,

‘Cause every second crumbles when we hold like this –

[Pre-Chorus]

And I can’t help but…

CHORUS 1

Crumble –

I only want to crumble…

Crumble in your tender arms the whole night long;

Crumble –

Why don’t we both crumble…

In this velvet darkness we can’t be wrong –

So let’s just crumble.

[Vs3]

Every mystery has been found,

As our bodies share the ground,

The universe is staring as we embrace;

So let’s take all we got,

And forget what’s forgot,

And watch each other crumble lying face to face 

[Pre-Chorus]

‘Cause we can’t help but…

CHORUS 2

Crumble –

We only need to crumble…

Crumble in each other’s arms the whole night long;

Crumble –

Why don’t we both crumble…

In this velvet darkness we can’t be wrong –

So let’s just crumble....

[Vs1]

Moonlight on the lake is dancing to the shore;

Your heart beats on mine saying it wants more –

The night is clear…

There’s no one near…

Your whisper’s all I need to hear…

I think we've been here twice, but darlin, I don't keep the score.

CHORUS

When the Georgia dawn awakens,

It finds that we've been taken -

With feelings only Adam and Eve, had before;

The sunlight is a cover,

That we lay there under -

No use getting up 'cause we'd be going down some more.

[Vs2]

Midnight’s blanket is the passion we both wear;

Morning's hidden miles away and we don’t care –

That starlight’s glue…

Looks good on you…

Lightning bugs have the best view,

We ain't goin' no where 'cause every night's brand new.

CHORUS

When the Georgia dawn awakens,

It finds that we've been taken -

With feelings only Adam and Eve, had before;

The sunlight is a cover,

That we lay there under -

No use getting up 'cause we'd be going down some more.

[BRIDGE]

The grass feels good

Like freshly made velvet would

Without you and me here 

It couldn't feel like it should -

CHORUS

When the Georgia dawn awakens,

It finds that we've been taken -

With feelings only Adam and Eve, had before;

The sunlight is a cover,

That we lay there under -

No use getting up 'cause we'd be going down some more.

OUTRO

With moonlight on the lake,

And midnight’s blanket on…

Let’s hold a little more –

Into that Georgia Dawn…

[Vs1]
A crumpled bag of chips and an old truck store's  cup,
Lay flat on the floor mat of this well-traveled truck;
Leather seats are beat up from all my driving years,
This journey that seems endless finds me sleeping in here...

CHORUS 1
I'll drive this road each day and night -
Until I hit this sign -
"It's too tough a price to pay - 
For a trucker's life"....

Through every storm and each lonely day - 

It's too tough a price to pay...

For a trucker's life

[Vs2]
Tonight I'll stop on home, for a break between hauls,
And my wife will show me her newly painted walls;
But even more than that, I guarantee she'll say,
"Can you make tonight the night, you'll end your trucking days?"

CHORUS 1
I'll drive this road each day and night -
Until I hit this sign -
"It's too tough a price to pay - 
For a trucker's life"....

Through every storm and each lonely day - 

It's too tough a price to pay...

For a trucker's life

BRIDGE
We stayed up all night,
To decide what's right;
Now I have decided,
To give my wife my life...

CHORUS 2
I've driven this road each day and night -
Until I hit the sign -
"It's too tough a price to pay" - 
For a trucker's life"....
"It's a too tough a price to pay - 
For a trucker's life"....
