It was a hot and steamy night,
Then frankie pulled his gun in sight.
He said, "now suzi, don't you lie.
Did stevey, did he catch you with another guy?"
Standing in the line of fire it's gonna shoot ya.
Standing in the line of fire it's comin' to ya,
It's goin' through ya.


He told her that he had been true,
And that he'd never made her blue, no.
So don't go sayin' stevey's a liar,
Girl, i've got my finder on a hair-trigger wire.


Standing in the line of fire it's gonna shoot ya.
Standing in the line of fire it's comin' to ya,
It's goin' through ya.
Bye, bye, bye, suzi.
So long girl.


Those gunshots echoed through the town.
Oh frankie threw his shotgun down.
That roof had moonlight shinin' through.
She said she'd never, never, never, make him blue, yea.


Standing in the line of fire it's gonna shoot ya.
Standing in the line of fire it's comin' to ya,
Standing in the line of fire it's gonna shoot ya.
It's goin' through ya.
Bye, bye, bye, suzi.
So long.

So now love is gone
I can't t go on, love is gone
I want to say
Now it's just too late
Waited far too long


Should have told you then i knew
Should have told you right
From the start
But the words
Didn't come out right
So i'll tell you
Straight from my heart


You meant more to me
Than i let you see
You held on somehow
All your tenderness
And your sweet caress
I miss you now


Buy a headstrong stubborn man
Only works it out the best he can
Valentines he never sent
There's not enough time
He's a workin' man


Can't stop fallin'
Heartaches callin'
Finds you after the fall
Saints or sinners
Take no prisoners
What's left after you fall
No not much no


Oh i say love is gone
I can't go on
Now love is gone
I want to say
But it's just too late
Waited far too long


Should have told you then i knew
Should have told you right
From the start
But the words
Didn't come out right
So i'll tell you
Straight from my heart


(chorus)


No no not much
After the fall
After you fall
After you fall

Those crazy nights, i do remember in my youth
I do recall, those were the best times, most of all
In the heat with a blue jean girl
Burnin' love comes once in a lifetime
She found me singing by the rail road track
Took me home, we danced by moonlight


Those summer nights are callin',
Stone in love
Can't help myself i'm fallin'
Stone in love


Old dusty roads, led to the river
Runnin' slow
She pulled me down, and in clover
We'd go 'round
In the heat with a blue jean girl
Burnin' love comes once in a lifetime
Oo the memories never fade away
Golden girl, i'll keep you forever.


(chorus)

Lying beside you, here in the dark
Feeling your heart beat with mind
Softly you whisper, you're so sincere
How could our live be so blind
We sailed on together
We drifted apart
And here you are by my side


So now i come to you, with open arms
Nothing to hide, believe what i say
So here i am with open arms
Hoping you'll see what your love means to me
Open arms

Living without you, living alone
This empty house seems so cold
Wanting to hold you, wanting you near
How much i wanted you home


But now that you've come back
Turned night into day
I need you to stay.


(chorus)

Winter is here again oh lord,
Haven't been home in a year or more
I hope she holds on a little longer


Sent a letter on a long summer day
Made of silver, not of clay
I've been runnin' down this dusty road


Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
I don't know where i'll be tomorrow
Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'


I've been trying to make it home
Got to make it before too long
I can't take this very much longer
I'm stranded in the sleet and rain
Don't think i'm ever gonna make it home again
The mornin' sun is risin'
It's kissing the day


(chorus)


Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
I don't know where i'll be tomorrow
Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'

Any way you want it
That's the way you need it
Any way you want it


She loves to laugh
She loves to sing
She does everything
She loves to move
She loves to grove
She loves the lovin' things


Ooh, all night, all night
Oh, every night
So hold tight, hold tight
Ooh, baby, hold tight


Oh, she said,
Any way you want it
That's the way you need it
Any way you want it
She said, any way you want it
That's the way you need it
Any way you want it


I was alone
I never knew
What good love could do
Ooh, then we touched
Then we sang
About the lovin' things


Ooh, all night, all night
Oh, every night
So hold tight, hold tight
Ooh baby, hold tight


Oh, she said,
Any way you want it
That's the way you need it
Any way you want it
She said, any way you want it
That's the way you need it
Any way you want it

It's been a mystery and still they try to see
Why somethin' good can hurt so bad
Caught on a one-way street, the taste of bittersweet
Love will survive somehow, some way


One love feeds the fire
One heart burns desire
I wonder, who's cryin' now
Two hearts born to run
Who'll be the lonely one
I wonder, who's cryin' now


So many stormy nights, so many wrongs or rights
Neither could change their headstrong ways
And in a lover's rage, they tore another page
The fightin' is worth the love they save...


(chorus)


Only so many tears you can cry
'til the heartache is over
And now you can say your love
Will never die


(chorus)

I'd do anything to hold you.
I'd go anywhere to touch you.
I'd do anything you want me to,
If you'll just stay with me awhile.


I'd sing any song your heart desires.
I would sing out loud of love's sweet fires.
Oo, i'd do all this and so much more.
If you'll just stay with me awhile.


Reach out your hand,
Oh, to me.
Oh, i'm fallin'
One minute more,
I'm fallin'
I'm fallin'
Oh, oh, fallin', fallin', fallin', fallin'
Won't you just stay with me awhile?
