Well I've heard those city singers singin' 'bout how they can love
Deeper than the oceans ... higher than the stars above
Well I come from the country and I know I ain't seen it all
But I heard that oceans salty and the stars they sometimes fall
And that would not do justice to the way I feel for you
So I had to sing a song about all the things I knew
My love is deeper then the holler ... stronger than the river
Higher than the pine trees growin' tall upon the hill
My love is purer than the snowflakes that fall in late December
And honest as a robin on the springtime window sill
And longer than the song of a whippoorwill
From the backroads to the broadway shows with a million miles between
There's at least a million love songs that people love to sing
And everyone is different ... and everyone's the same
And this is just another way of sayin' the same thing
My love is deeper than the holler ... stronger than the river
Higher than the pine trees growin' tall upon the hill
My love is purer than the snowflakes that fall in late December
And honest as a robin on the springtime window sill
And longer than the song of a whippoorwill
BREAK
My love is deeper than the holler ... stronger than the river
Higher than the pine trees growin' tall upon the hill
My love is purer than the snowflakes that fall in late December
And honest as a robin on the springtime window sill
And longer than the song of a whippoorwill
...............A whippoorwill
I ain't lived forever ... but I've lived enough
I've learned to be gentle ... and I've learned to be tough
I've found only two things ... that last 'til the end
One is your heroes ... the other's your friends
Your heroes will help you find good in yourself
Your friends won't foresake you for somebody else
They'll both stand beside you through thick and through thin
That's how it goes with heroes and friends
I grew up with cowboys ... I watched on TV
My friends and I sometimes ... pretended to be
Years have gone by ... but now and again
My heart rides the range ... with my heroes and friends
Your heroes will help you find good in yourself
Your friends won't foresake you for somebody else
They'll both stand beside you through thick and through thin
That's how it goes with heroes and friends
High in a tree ... on the top of the hill
By the light of the lonesome ole moon
I hear the call ... of a lone whipporwill
Singing his mournful tune
Way off in the night ... blows a long freight train
With a roar and a ramble ... of wheels
My poor heart is breaking ... with every refrain
cause it sounds just like the way I feel
And its a high lonesome
High lonesome heartbroken and blue
Its a High lonesome
Lil darling .. Im lonesome for you
Break
Do you ever get weary ... roamin around
Do you think of the sweet love we knew
Do you ever get lonesome ... the way I am now
Lil darling ... Im lonesome for you
And its a high lonesome
High lonesome heartbroken and blue
Its a High lonesome
Lil darling .. Im lonesome for you
Its high lonesome
Lil darling .. Im lonesome ... for you
On one hand I count the reasons ... I could stay with you
And hold you close to me ... all night long
So many lover's games ... I could play with you
And on that hand there's no reason ... why it's wrong
But on the other hand ... there's a golden band
To remind of someone who would not understand
On one hand I could stay and be your loving man
But the reason I must go ... is on the other hand
In your arms I feel the passion ... I thought had died
When I looked into your eyes ... I found myself
When I first kissed your lips ... I felt so alive
I've got to hand it to you girl ... you're something else
But on the other hand ... there's a golden band
To remind of someone who would not understand
On one hand I could stay and be your loving man
But the reason I must go ... is on the other hand
Yeah the reason I must go ... is on the other hand
