Quotes

“Not counting you I've never had a heartache.Not counting you I never have been blue.There's no exceptions to the rule;I've never been nobody's fool.I've never lost at love not counting you.”
“If tomorrow never comes,Will she know how much I loved her?Did I try in every way to show her every dayThat she's my only one?And if my time on earth were through,And she must face the world without me,Is the love I gave her in the pastGonna be enough to last?If tomorrow never comes.”
“And the white line's getting longer and the saddle's getting cold.I'm much too young to feel this damn old.All my cards are on the table with no ace left in the hole,I'm much too young to feel this damn old.”
“The thunder rolls,And the lightnin' strikes.Another love grows coldOn a sleepless night.As the storm blows onOut of control,Deep in her heartThe thunder rolls.”
“'Cause I've got friends in low placesWhere the whiskey drownsAnd the beer chases my blues away.And I'll be okay.I'm not big on social graces;Think I'll slip on down to the oasis.Oh, I've got friends in low places.”
“Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers.Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs,That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care.Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.”
