Gene Watson Roads And Other Reasons
It's a lonely kinda livin, never stayin' never givin'
More than moments to remember as I'm passing through
the day
Satisfaction is in season but there's roads and other
reasons
To be movin' toward the morning when you'll find me
gone away
I'm just here and you can hold me on the nights you
need a man
But it's nicer when I know you understand
That the only thing that lingers is the feeling of my
fingers
As they touched your olive body and you melted in my
hands
I'm proud of bein' me and just as proud of bein' free
And if that don't fit in your planin' better take me
off your mind
'Cause the plans that I've been in have ways of comming
to an end
Abruptly, when the dreamer wakes to find I've gone on
down the line
I'm just here and you can hold me on the nights you
need a man
But it's nicer when I know you understand
That the only thing that lingers is the feeling of my
fingers
As they touched your olive body and you melted in my
hands
There's roads and other reasons that will always lead
to leavin'
I won't bother you with details it's a story all my own
And the things we've done together were so good that I
would rather
Not say anything to change the way you'll feel after
I'm gone
I'm just here and you can hold me on the nights you
need a man
But it's nicer when I know you understand
That the only thing that lingers is the feeling of my
fingers
As they touched your olive body and you melted in my
hands
