Outside St. Ignatius, outside of the law,
You walk by so gracefully, I just stand in awe.
You're a goddess. You're the hottest oddity I've found.
We can go swimmin' in our skin and hope that we don't drown.
I could save the water just by drinking it tonight. I
can't find the words to make it right, to make it right.
Tanked up out on Elm Street, looking for a ride.
Stretched out on concrete, running out of pride.
You need help dear, and I'm sincere. Let me be the one.
I'm not a big star, but I've got a big car. You're too weak to run.
You could save the highway if you'd crash with me tonight.
I can't find the words to make it right, to make it right.
I could save the water just by drinking it tonight.
I can't find the words to make it right, to make it right.
Someday when we're older, deep in loneliness,
Things we said today won't matter, no one could care less.
We're just shadows, just ask Plato. It was all a dream.
I've had it with Dallas, let's burn down the Palace. I'll bring the kerosene.
I could save this song if I'd just sing real loud tonight.
I can't find the words to make it right, to make it right.This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the One World Album. It has also been released on The Country Roads Collection album.
Funny thing about this little heart of mine
All the ways that it can say
(I love you)
Longer than forever
Till the end of time
No matter baby come what may
(I love you)
Look at me now sittin' all by myself
Face another sleepless night all alone
All I look forward to is lying here living this song
I can't escape thinking every day about you
Can't escape wishing dear you were still mine
Can't escape thinking maybe I still love you
Can't escape caring for you all of the time
Listen to the music on the radio
Top forty hits of yesterday
(I love you)
Leavin' on a Jet Plane
Blowin' in the Wind
The Silly Games that People Play
(I love you)
Each of them carries your memory still
I can still see that look in your eyes
The one that preceded your kisses and followed your sighs
I can't escape thinking every day about you
Can't escape wishing dear you were still mine
Can't escape thinking maybe I still love you
Can't escape caring for you all of the time
Every rain in the morning reminds me of you
Every night when it's cold outside
Every time that I ache inside
(I love you)
(I love you)
Sometimes I wish it was ten years ago
We were starting all over again
Yet the way that I feel is much more than just remembering when
I can't escape thinking every day about you
Can't escape wishing dear you were still mine
Can't escape thinking maybe I still love you
Can't escape caring for you all of the time
All of the time
All of the time
