That's Why

Chorus:
You are my only one
You are my only one
Well i'm telling you now you're my only one

I've got two long legs like to carry me
Two sharp eyes to look for the fight
Two strong arms to hold on tight
Two good friends on my left and right
But only one only one

Chorus:
You are my only one you are my only one
Don't be leaving me now you're my only one

There's only one road before me
Too many turns in the way
Thousands of things to do today
Millions of moments i must admit
But only one only one

Chorus

Taken for granted and pushed aside
All that it wanted was a place to run and hide
Missing message in a hollow tree
Hidden deep inside a memory
And the memory seems like dreams
Hundreds of hopes in the past
Nevertheless it was never the last
Hold on strong or you fade out fast
And only one only one

Chorus

Life's good friends are hard to find
And now one of mine is dead
And things i should have said to her
I shall say to you instead

Mona mona
So much of you to love
Too much of you to take care of
Mona mona
You got too big to keep
And too damn old to eat

When you where just a football
At your mama's side
I reckon everyone figured you
For a bar-b-que when you died
And here i'm thinking about you
Lying underground
Pushing up a pine tree in my field

Oh mona mona
You can close your eyes
I've got a twelve gauge surprise
Waiting for you

Since the day she passed away
Everything's just the same
Everywhere i go
Somebody mentions her name
Sometimes it's easiest to tell
A friend a lie
They don't understand
The way i feel

Oh mona mona
So much of you to love
To much of you to take care of
So long

Now she is gone and i am
Left alone as you can see
But ever since i caused her death
I do miss her company

Everyday it's getting closer
Going faster than a roller coaster
A love like yours would surely come my way

Everday seems a little faster
All my friends they say go on up and ask her
A love like yours would surely come my way

Everyday it seems a little stronger
Everyday it lasts a little longer
Come what may do you ever long for
True love from me

Everyday seems a little closer
Going faster than a roller coaster
A love like yours would surely come my way

A love like yours would surely come my way
Everyday

People around
Me are at it again
God only knows how they do it
One to another then back again
Something keeps putting them through it
Me i've been watching more than fifteen years
And it hasn't changed a bit
People keep talking 'bout a different line
But it never seems to fit

This is a song for you
Far away far away
This is a song for you
Far away from me
This is a song for you
Far away far away
This is a song for you
Far away from me

Sitting here all alone
Is bringing it on again i'm gone again
Sitting here thinking of you
Is driving it home again
This is a song for you far away so far away
This is a song for you far away from me
Open the door it takes me back
Oh it takes me back
Mention your name and i'm gone again
Oh i'm gone again
This is a song for you far away from me
Far away from me

My heart had been broken
And i couldn't take no more
I shuttered up my windows
And i bolted tight my door
Then i took one look at you
And i nearly lost my mind

Chorus:
Now i'm going 'round going 'round
Going 'round going around one more time
Yes i'm going 'roung going 'round
Going 'round goung around one more time

Betty was a little heartbreaker
It didn't quite work out
She did a number on my confidence
I was riddled with self doubt
I said that's it i'm through i quit
The juanita she looked so fine.

Chorus

'round and 'round in a circle
It's always the same
One moment you swear you've had enough
The next you've got to know her name

All on my own it wasn't that bad
I was getting by as i could get
I stopped into a drug store
For one pack of cigarettes
She did't have a quarter
Had to call her cousin kate
And could i lend her maybe
One thin dime

Chorus

When liberty valance came to town
The women folk would hide
They'd hide
When liberty valance walked around
The men would step aside
Because the point of a gun
Was the only law that liberty understood
When it came to shooting
Straight and fast
He was mighty good

From out of the east a stranger came
A law book in his hand
A man the kind of man
The west would need to ease a troubled land
Because the point of a gun
Was the only law that liberty understood
When it came to shooting
Straight and fast
He was mighty good

Many a man would face his gun
And many a man would fall
The man who shot liberty valance
He shot liberty valance
He was the bravest of them all

Now the love of a woman can make a man
Stay on when he should go
Stay on
Just trying to build a peaceful life
Where love is free to go
But the point of a gun
Was the only law that liberty understood
When it came to shooting
Straight and fast
He was mighty good

Alone and afraid she prayed that he'd
Return that fateful night
That night
When nothing she said could keep her man
From going out to fight
But the point of a gun
Was the only law that liberty understood
When the final showdown came to pass
A law book was no good

Out in the sun two shots rang out
The shots made liberty fall
The man who shot liberty valance
He shot liberty valance
He was the bravest of them all
