All I Need To Know

(steve seskin/mark alan springer)

With a little luck this ol' truck will get me home today
With a little more i'll still have this job tomorrow
Weather man says a wet weekend he just might be right
But rain or shine you'll be mine tonight

That's all i need to know
In a world where most things come and go
I'll always have you to hold
And that's all i need to know

Heaven knows i ain't even close to bein' god's gift to women
But in your arms i feel like i am
I don't know it all, i sure can't solve
The problems of the human race
But i know how to bring a smile to your face

That's all i need to know
In a world where most things come and go
I'll always have you to hold
And that's all i need to know

Darlin', say it one more time
You will forever be mine

That's all i need to know
In a world where most things come and go
I'll always have you to hold
And that's all i need to know
I'll always have you to hold
That's all i need to know

Their shadows danced closer on the honky tonk walls
As the band plays the last verse to that goin' home waltz
And they'll start to peril 'neath the parking lot moon
And some cars and a pickup won't be picked up 'til noon

Somewhere between midnight and daylight
It's an after hours merry-go-round
Somewhere between midnight and daylight
There's a whole lot of love lost and found

I wish i could say now that i've learned it all
>from my observations as a fly on the wall
But if lonesome's a crime oh, i'm guilty as sin
'cause tomorrow i'll pickup my ol' pickup again

Somewhere between midnight and daylight
It's an after hours merry-go-round
Somewhere between midnight and daylight
There's a whole lot of love lost and found
There's a whole lot of love lost and found

Saw a man in the movies that didn't have a heart
How i wish i could give him mine
Then i wouldn't have to feel it breaking all apart
And this emptiness inside would suit me fine

It's times like these
I wish i were a tin man
You could hurt me all you wanted
And i'd never even know
I'd give anything just to be the tin man
And i wouldn't have a heart and i wouldn't need a soul

I couldn't see your leavin' comin'
You took me by surprise
Even now it still seems like a dream
But i know i can't be dreamin'
'cause as i lay down each night
The pain so great that it won't let me sleep

It's times like these
I wish i were a tin man
You could hurt me all you wanted
And i'd never even know
I'd give anything just to be the tin man
And i wouldn't have a heart and i wouldn't need a soul
Well i'd give anything just to be the tin man
And i wouldn't have a heart and i wouldn't miss you so

If you don't get in the water you're never gonna learn to swim
He said a snake is just as scared of you as you are of him
He could tell by the moon when the fish would bite
Seems there was nothing that he didn't know
And as a kid i believed 'cause grandpa told me so

He talked daddy into letting me have my first car
I thought i was really something 'til becky thompson broke my heart
That first taste of love really did me in
Getting over her slow
And i knew someday i would 'cause grandpa told me so

He said life is made for you to live
The best love is the love that you give
There'll be times when you wanna hold on but you gotta let go
And i live by those words 'cause grandpa told me so

I promised him i wouldn't cry when it was his time to leave
That's the only promise i made him i couldn't keep
He smiled from his bed and said we'll meet again
Somewhere down the road
And i believe 'cause grandpa told me so

He said life is made for you to live
The best love is the love that you give
There'll be times when you wanna hold on but you gotta let go
And i live by those words 'cause grandpa told me so

He said life is made for you to live
The best love is the love that you give
There'll be times when you wanna hold on but you gotta let go
And i live by those words 'cause grandpa told me so

Yeah and i still believe
Grandpa told me so
Grandpa told me so
I still believe
Grandpa told me so
I still believe...

Her long legs looked like trouble
As she sasheyed through the door
And my mind flashed a warning sign
That i chose to ignore
For the prize i thought i could win
The risk seemed mighty small
The bigger the fool the harder the fall

Fell in love in the heat of passion
Oh, but passion has it's price
Under all that beauty
Beat a heart that was made of ice
God knows as far as i could see she didn't have a flaw
But the bigger the fool the harder the fall

I said a woman to keep
The softer the skin
The sweeter the love
The more bitter the end
Well, one lesson i've learned that applies to all
The bigger the fool the harder the fall

One day she was lovin' me
The next day she was gone
And i became another verse
To a lonesome heartbreak song
Now that i've learned to face the truth
The words stick in my craw
Well, the bigger the fool the harder the fall

I said a woman to keep
The softer the skin
The sweeter the love
The more bitter the end
Well, one lesson i've learned that applies to all
The bigger the fool the harder the fall
The bigger the fool the harder the fall
