The good Lord only knows
Seems like it was just the other day
I was down at Green Gables, hawking them tables
Generally blowing all of my hard-earned pay
Piano roll blues, danced holes in my shoes
There weren't another other way to be
For lovable losers and no account boozers
And honky tonk heroes like me
Where do it go?

Walk Our Own Road Kris Kristofferson
Heroes and Friends 1990 There's do'ers and don'ters and I wills and won'ters And them, that don't even try Givers and takers, movers and shakers And them that are just passing by Skidrows and winos and some folks that I know That don't do like I think they should I thought they were livin' their lifes all wrong Long, before I understood We all have to walk our own road We can't always go where we're told In the end where we'll end up, the Lord only knows But we all have to walk our own road I've had some good times and I've had a good life And I've had things goin' my way I've walked the high ground with treasures that I've found An' women who brightened my day Then there were times I was caught in the crosswinds With life, goin' 'round and around Like a ship with no sail I was caught in a gale 'Til I finally just ran it a-ground We all have to walk our own road We can't always go where we're told In the end where we'll end up, the Lord only knows But we all have to walk our own road We all have to walk our own road We can't always go where we're told In the end where we'll end up, the Lord only knows But we all have to walk our own road

The Night Will Only Know Garth Brooks
In Pieces 1993 That night will live forever Their first time to lie together They were finally where desire dared them to go Both belonging to another But longing to be lovers Promising each other that the night will only know Parked on some old backstreet They laid down in the back seat And fell into the fire down below But they would pay for their deceiving For a deadly web was weaving Why they picked that spot that evening Lord, the night will only know Well within the innuendos Just outside the steamy windows The night was shattered by a woman's scream Motionless and frightened The grip of fate had tightened And with trembling hands they wiped away the steam They saw a woman pleading Stumbling, begging and retreating' Til she became the victim of her foe And they watched her fall in silence To save their own alliance But the reason for the violence Just the night will only know And every paper ran the story She was stripped of all her glory And the told exactly how the woman died Abandoned and forsaken Too many pills were taken And they ruled the woman's death a suicide Bound by their behavior They could have been her savior Now guilt becomes the endless debt they owe But another crime was committed And it's never been admitted Have the guilty been acquitted Lord, the night will only know
