Love Lessons

(jerry kilgore/ted hewitt/monty powell/sarah majors)

Don't be afraid darling you can tell me
What it takes to make your world turn
If you're willing there's time
And if you're so inclined
Just give me a sign

I wanna take love lessons baby from you
Whatever it is you want i want to please you
I wanna take love lessons baby real slow
Teach me everything i need to know

Take my hand let's talk about us
Whisper soft what it is you're thinking of
I wanna hold you tight
Won't you show me how tonight
Let's turn down the lights

I wanna take love lessons baby from you
Whatever it is you want i want to please you
I wanna take love lessons baby real slow
Teach me everything i need to know
Teach me everything i need to know

Oh wild billy told me even i would have a chance
If i took a trip down the georgia highway and asked some girl to dance
Billy said he'd been there - had the best time of his life
He went to stay for the weekend and he came back with a wife

It's 4 to 1 in atlanta, i'm gonna get lucky tonight
The girls are in my favor and if i play my cards just right
I might find an angel whose fire i can light
It's 4 to 1 in atlanta and i'm on my way tonight

I can't wait to get there i know she's waiting for me
With eyes as blue as texas skies like i ain't never seen
And as i think about it my heart starts to pound
I throw this thing into lower gear and crush that hammer down

It's 4 to 1 in atlanta, i'm gonna get lucky tonight
The girls are in my favor and if i play my cards just right
I might find an angel whose fire i can light
It's 4 to 1 in atlanta and i'm on my way tonight

Here comes a confrontation with the highway patrol
I hope beneath those flashing lights there's an understanding soul
I've only got one story - i'm a man without love
Can we talk about it ma'am before you write me up

It's 4 to 1 in atlanta, i'm gonna get lucky tonight
The girls are in my favor and if i play my cards just right
I might find an angel whose fire i can light
It's 4 to 1 in atlanta and i'm on my way tonight
I'm on my way tonight

You looked at me as only you can look at me
You touched my cheek and told me not to cry
But you said you'd found somebody you loved more than me
And you told me i'd forget you by and by

But you lied to me, yes you lied to me
You said time would close the wound that bled inside of me
But every breath i take brings back your memory
You said i'd forget you, but you lied to me

Monday, i said tuesday you'd be off my mind
Then i gave myself 'til wednesday then on down the line
Funny how september turns to june so fast
And you told me this pain was not the kind to last

But you lied to me, yes you lied to me
You said time would close the wound that bled inside of me
But every breath i take brings back your memory
You said i'd forget you, but you lied to me

Oh you said i'd forget you, but you lied to me

I dressed up in my best
My ropers and my vest
And waited by the door with these roses
Till you came walkin' in
With your high falutin' friends
So busy lookin' down your noses
Now here you are ignorin' me
Girl i might as well be

Walkin' to jerusalem
Marchin' with methuselah
Readin' signs in arabic
Ravin' like a lunatic
By the time you tell me i'm the one
I'll be stickin' out my thumb
And walkin' to jerusalem

You wore your boots last night
You kissed me and held me tight
You said you'd always be my cowgirl
But tonight you're hangin' out
With that christian dior crowd
So where does that leave me now girl
You're as cold as polar regions
I oughta join the french foreign legion and go

Walkin' to jerusalem
Marchin' with methuselah
Readin' signs in arabic
Ravin' like a lunatic
By the time you tell me i'm the one
I'll be stickin' out my thumb
And walkin' to jerusalem

I can see me in a long robe
Studyin' the book of job and

Walkin' to jerusalem
Marchin' with methuselah
Readin' signs in arabic
And ravin' like a lunatic
By the time you tell me i'm the one
I'll be stickin' out my thumb
And walkin'
By the time you tell me i'm the one
I'll be stickin' out my thumb
And walkin' to jerusalem
And walkin' to jerusalem
And walkin' to jerusalem

It's cold this time of year and the people in this city make it colder
They've all forgotten what it means to lend a hand or cry on a shoulder
In this land of opportunity we fight like hell to make an extra dime
It would surely get the best of me without the heaven in my woman's eyes

It's the heaven in my woman's eyes that make life's hell a better place to be
It's the heaven in my woman's eyes that gives the inspiration that i need
Sometimes it seems a man is born to lose no matter how hard he tries
Life on earth would sure be hell without the heaven in my woman's eyes

Simplicity was once a way of life but now it's buried with our past
A dollar used to go a long long way but now it just goes fast
Oh how i wish that i could be as free as our union eagle flies
But the only time i'm free is when i view the heaven in my woman's eyes

It's the heaven in my woman's eyes that make life's hell a better place to be
It's the heaven in my woman's eyes that gives the inspiration that i need
Sometimes it seems a man is born to lose no matter how hard he tries
Life on earth would sure be hell without the heaven in my woman's eyes
Life on earth would sure be hell without the heaven in my woman's eyes
