Rodney Crowell, If Looks Could Kill Lyrics.

Artist: Rodney Crowell
Song: If Looks Could Kill
Album: Keys To The Highway

If today weren’t just like any day perhaps I’d try
To shed this worn out skin so thick and learn to fly
But I came home to face your ice and steel
If looks could kill I would be gone today
There’s a fire that’s burning in your eyes not in your heart
I can fan the fames but I can’t make a spark
I don’t like the way I make you feel
If looks could kill I would be long since gone
If looks could kill then I’d be pushing up your daisies
If looks could kill then I would not be going crazy
There’s a stool that I’ve been glued to for so many nights
and a bar to pour my heart out to and make it right
And I don’t have to tell myself it’s real
If looks could kill my heart would beat no more
If looks could kill then I’d be deep in peaceful slumber
If looks could kill then I would not be going under
There’s a gun out in the hallway covered up in dust
That works well enough to turn a heartache into dust
Go on and let your lawyer make a deal
If looks could kill
If looks could kill
I would be long since gone

Rodney Crowell, Many a Long and Lonesome Highway Lyrics.

Artist: Rodney Crowell
Song: Many a Long and Lonesome Highway
Album: The Essential Rodney Crowell

(Rodney Crowell, Will Jennings)

Yes I had a woman love me gave her what there was there of me
It was good as it could be
Then I heard a wild world calling, I saw a lone star falling
Caught a song and set it free
Many a long and lonesome highway lies before us as we go
In the end I’ll do it my way
Look for me where the four winds blow
I believe in love and danger
I believe that truth is stranger
I believe that fear is much too strong
I believe the best will find me when I leave the rest behind me
Out on the highway I’m on my own
Every night’s a new beginning every day the world keeps spinning
Sometimes it’s hard to stand upon my own
To the east the moon comes showing to the west the storm clouds growing
Though by myself I’m not alone
My father on his deathbed told me there’s really nothing left to hold me
Though I was there he died alone
It’s gonna take a fast train leaving to shake my world of grieving
Guess I’ll go until it’s gone
Many a long and lonesome highway lies before us as we go
In the end I’ll do it my way look for me where the four winds blow
