Carroll County's pointed out as kind of square The biggest thing that happens is the county fair And I guess that's why it seemed like such a big event What we all call the Carroll County accident The wreck was on the highway just inside the line Walter Browning lost his life and for a time It seemed that Mary Ellen Jones would surely die But she lived long enough for her to testify Now Walter Browning was a happy married man And he wore a golden wedding ring upon his hand But it was gone nobody knew just where it went He'd lost it in the Carroll County accident Mary Ellen testified he flagged her down Said he was sick and could she drive him into town And no one even doubted what she said was true Cause she was well respected in the county too Now I went down to see the wreck like all the rest The bloody seats, the broken glass, the tangled mess But I found something no one else had even seen Behind the dash in Mary's crumpled up machine A little matchbox circled by a rubberband And inside the ring from Walter Browning's hand And it took a while to figure out just what it meant The truth about the Carroll County accident By dark of night I dropped the ring into a well And I took a sacred oath that I would never tell The secret of the Carroll County accident Cause the county ordered dad a marble monument I lost him in the Carroll County accident

Take my hand and run with me Out of the past called yesterday Walk with me into the future of tomorrow Yesterday must be forgot No looking back, no matter what There's nothing there but memories that bring sorrow Yesterday is gone But tomorrow is forever No more crying, tears leave tracks Memories find their way back Tomorrow's waiting, let's journey there together Yesterday is gone But tomorrow is forever I care not for yesterday I love you as you are today And yesterday just helped to pass the time while waiting We must forget, we will in time My love for you is the real kind The kind that won't hurt you, no, never Yesterday is gone But tomorrow is forever Yesterday is gone But tomorrow is forever

An acre of diamonds I'd offer to you A solid gold mansion, an airplane or two This whole world would be yours to have and to hold If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold I'd have all the riches my pockets would hold I'd be, oh, so wealthy with treasures untold If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold The tears that have fallen won't buy you a thing The heartaches you've caused me won't pay for a ring The love that I wanted would not have grown cold If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold I'd have all the riches my pockets would hold I'd be, oh, so wealthy with treasures untold If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold But teardrops aren't pennies And heartaches aren't gold

How many ti-imes ha-ave you heard someone say If I had his money I would do things my way But little they know That it's so hard to find One rich man in te-en With a satisfied mi-ind Once I was wading in fortune and fame Everything that I've dreamed for to get a start in li-ife's game But suddenly it ha-appened I lost every dime But I'm richer by far-ar With a satisfied mi-ind Money can't buy-uy back your youth when you're old Or a friend when you're lonely or a love that's grown co-old The wealthiest person Is a pauper at times Compared to the ma-an With a satisfied mi-ind When li-ife has ended and my time has run out My friends and my loved ones, I'll leave there's no doubt But there's one thing for cer-ertain When it comes my time I'll leave this old wor-orld With a satisfied mi-ind

Life has dealt us our fair share of pain along the way And many dreams have withered on the vine But dreams are all such fleeting things and happiness is now We'll just live our lives one day at a time In all the stormy weather love has always seen us through Happiness is knowing that you're mine Why worry about tomorrow for tomorrow may not come We'll just live our lives one day at a time Just one thing I'm learning you take life as it comes Each day is just a gift so don't be blind Tomorrow may bring gladness or a little bit of sadness We'll just live our lives one day at a time We may not have a fortune making plans to change the world We may leave little marks in life's design But as long as we're together every hour is filled with love And we'll just live our lives one day at a time Just one thing I'm learning you take life as it comes Each day is just a gift so don't be blind Tomorrow may bring gladness or a little bit of sadness We'll just live our lives one day at a time We'll just live our lives one day at a time

In a buildin' tall with a stone wall around there's a rubber room When a man sees things and hears sounds that's not there He's headed for the rubber room Illusions in a twisted mind to save from self-destruction hmm it's the rubber room Where a man can run into the wall till his strenght makes him fall and lie still And wait for help in the rubber room From his blurry vision of doom a psycho in the rubber room The man in the room right next to mine screams a woman's name hits the wall in vain He's in the rubber room I hear footsteps poundin' on the floor God I hope they don't stop at my door Hmm I'm in the rubber room Now they've come to get me but they find I'm a screamin' pretty words tryin' to make 'em rhyme I'm n the rubber room hmm a psycho I'm in the rubber room hmm
