so am I

you're in love and so am I
it's just not with each other
when I was in love with you
you backed off cause you felt smothered

all I ever felt for you
remains here in my heart
I fought it hard
right from the start
but still it spilled on you

now it's as you wanted it be
we're the closest of friends
until you hide in silence again
and make the closeness end

road trip

we listened to Alan and Gretchen
your music for our road trip
time went fast like the weekend
the hours tended to slip away quick
I told you I wasn't country
but I'm likin' your big red truck
and I know the words to some of your songs
I'm likin' this country part of you

you slip in a few from Aerosmith
some old ones from the Eagles
Don Henly has always been a favorite
this is quite a musical mix
I find I really like Emmylou
her songs stir something inside
no one sings the blues like a country girl
I think you may have found it in me

I told you I wasn't country
but I'm likin'your big red truck
and I know the words to some of your songs
I'm likin' this country part of you
