The Ballad of a Hopeless Romantic

Folder: 
Love

Part I
Singing love songs down by the river,
Writing ballads in the mountains of Tennessee,
This lonely man walking down the highway just to see.
Baby, baby, I can't live without you here,
I need you next to me to help me along,
But miles between us keep me from singing you this song.
The lonely man walking miles just to find,
The one he loves is so far away,
And he just can't find the words to say.
Baby, Oh, Baby I need you now,
The sun is so hot,
My nerves are shot.
I can't find you, I can't see you,
But my compass leads me in your direction,
I am so weary but I am not done.
Searching, searching for the girl whom I love,
Walking for miles just to find you're not there,
Looking for you so my dirt home we may share.
Thoroughbred beauty is what I see,
Looking at your picture that I keep always,
Gazing upon your face drives me through the days.
Sun beats down,
Dust in my shoes,
I have nothing left to lose.
Find you, I must,
I crave your touch,
I love you so much.
