Verse 1 I’m sitting outside alone Feeling this soft calm breeze All of the leaves are gone On the tall oak tree We use to sit there underneath Neither of us never wanted to leave We could have stayed forever But you didn’t want to stay together Chorus But I’m doing alright since you left Gotta admit that I’m surprised Thought I would have regrets Thought maybe I’d need more time To move on with my life But since you left im doing alright Verse Yeah I know it ain’t perfect But I thought I’d still be hurtin Thought it would be worse than this Be missing you and my heart burnin But that’s not how it is Chorus I’m doing alright since you left Gotta admit that I’m surprised Thought I would have regrets Thought maybe I’d need more time To move on with my life But since you left im doing alright Bridge I don’t think it’s because you were nothing It wasn’t because I didn’t love you Maybe your doing better now without me Gotta say that makes me happy Chorus But I’m doing alright since you left Gotta admit that I’m surprised Thought I would have regrets Thought maybe I’d need more time To move on with my life But since you left im doing alright Outro Maybe your doing better without me Gotta say that makes me happy
Classic country
English
The lyrics convey a sense of bittersweet acceptance and emotional resilience. The narrator reflects on their previous relationship with nostalgia but ultimately reveals a surprising sense of contentment and freedom after the departure of their partner.
The song could be used in scenarios of personal healing and reflection, such as during moments of self-discovery, breakup recovery, or even in therapeutic settings where individuals are processing feelings of loss and moving forward with their lives.
The song structure consists of verses and a chorus that emphasize contrast between feelings of hurt and surprising relief. It uses straightforward language and relatable imagery, common in classic country music, which enhances the emotional storytelling. Melodically, it likely follows a simple chord progression typical of the genre, allowing the lyrics to take center stage.
"The Way of the Mine" (Dwarven Work Song) (Verse 1) Strike the stone and feel the thunder, Pick and hammer, ring like chimes. Digging deep, we tear asunder, Carving out the heart of time. (Pre-Chorus) Through the dark, through the dust, We stand strong, 'cause we must. Gold and iron, gems that shine, All are bound to the way of the mine. (Chorus) Swing that hammer, break that stone, Dig until the roots are shown. By the forge and by design, We live and die by the way of the mine! (Verse 2) Coal and silver, dwarven treasure, Buried in the bones of old. Not for greed, but craft and measure, Molding earth with hands so bold. (Pre-Chorus) Through the dark, through the dust, We stand strong, 'cause we must. Gold and iron, gems that shine, All are bound to the way of the mine. (Chorus) Swing that hammer, break that stone, Dig until the roots are shown. By the forge and by design, We live and die by the way of the mine! (Bridge) When the tunnels quake and shudder, When the lantern’s light grows dim, We hold strong, beside each other, Raise our voices, sing our hymn! (Final Chorus – with extra might!) Swing that hammer, break that stone, Dig until the roots are shown. By the forge and by design, We live and die by the way of the mine! (Outro - Fading into echoes through the caverns) We live and die… by the way of the mine…
Verse 1 Never been the one to settle down I give my all and look like a clown Just need a woman who loves me for me Not lookin for a heartbreak Just one night living out our dreams Chorus We can ride down a backroad Going places nobody knows Don’t have to settle down forever Just by my side for a minute is what I’d rather When that clock strikes 12 tonight It’s time for goodbye Verse 2 Yeah that’d be the perfect woman She’s a Beauty but she ain’t for settlin Yeah baby if it’s alright with you Here’s what I want to do Chorus We can ride down a backroad Going places nobody knows Don’t have to settle down forever Just by my side for a minute is what I’d rather When that clock strikes 12 tonight It’s time for goodbye Bridge That’s what I was hoping when I laid down tonight But there you were there by my side We made love all through the night I fell for you didn’t even put up a fight Chorus We can ride down a backroad Going places nobody knows Don’t have to settle down forever Just by my side for a minute is what I’d rather When that clock strikes 12 tonight It’s time for goodbye Outro 20 years later here we still are Loving each other with all our hearts Now my mind is changed and I never want to say goodbye I never want to say goodbye

Oooooh Sandy was as sweet as candy ooooo, But she gu gu guzzled down her sweet cherry shandys (oh, no, no), Than one night in desolate pub, She meet a dashing man let's name him Raz, He bought sweet Sandy her final sweet treat, And poor Sandy took the drink with a grin, Then gu-gu-gulp it's down, She looked at the man and just like that, Everything started twisting and only then she saw the man's true skin And just like that BOOM, She hit that dingy floor, In that drowsy daze, She finds that fancy devil smile, He offered his hand and she took it, And that sour soul took her soul away.

[Verse] Dusty trail beneath a silver moon Old guitar strumming a lonesome tune Echoes bound in the whispering pines Chasing shadows through forgotten times [Verse] Rivers weave like thread through the land Lost in the patterns of an ancient hand Footsteps faint where the warriors trod Silent prayers to a restless god [Chorus] Oh Wandering roads Carry me To the places where the spirit's free Through the mountains high and valleys low I'll follow where the wild winds blow [Verse] Broken wagon wheels by the roadside rest Stories untold in the sunburnt west Faded letters from a soldier's bride Dreams left behind in the turning tides [Bridge] Stars above like old friends shine Guiding hearts through the sands of time In the quiet night A promise made We'll meet again at the end of days [Chorus] Oh Wandering roads Carry me To the places where the spirit's free Through the mountains high and valleys low I'll follow where the wild winds blow

Whispers of Tomorrow Dreams take flight on wings unseen, Drifting through the night serene. Hope, a spark in hearts so wide, A whispered promise, side by side. Through the storm and through the rain, Through the trials, loss, and pain, Still, the sun will rise anew, Painting skies in golden hue. Step by step and day by day, Dreams won’t let us lose our way. For in our hands, though small they seem, We hold the power to shape a dream.
[Verse] In the woods where shadows young do play Lives a prince in blooms of darkest gray Petal cloak upon his shoulders laid Unseelie court where his plans are made [Chorus] Winds whisper his name in midnight's embrace Petal prince of an otherworldly place Commands the night with a quiet breath Dances 'mongst flowers Untouched by death [Verse 2] Moonlight weaves his crown of thorns Guides his path through twilight's mourn Where fae folk frolic 'neath old oaks' frame And whisper tales of his shadowed name [Chorus] Winds whisper his name in midnight's embrace Petal prince of an otherworldly place Commands the night with a quiet breath Dances 'mongst flowers Untouched by death [Verse 3] Woods stand still as he passes by With eyes of twilight Kiss of sky Roses bow in silent nod To the prince drafted by faerie god [Bridge] A solemn waltz beneath star fire Dreams woven from desires most dire Yet beauty lies within his reach Bound in shadows where none breach
[Verse] Whispering winds in ancient groves Silent rivers carved the stone Sunlit meadows wild and free Nature thrived in harmony [Chorus] Before we came and changed the scene The world was pure and evergreen Mountains sang their timeless song Echoed through the days so long [Verse 2] Morning mist on crystal lakes Verdant hills that never break Stars would dance in twilight's eye Underneath an unspoiled sky [Chorus] Before we came and changed the scene The world was pure and evergreen Mountains sang their timeless song Echoed through the days so long [Bridge] Whales would roam the ocean's deep Owls would guard the night in sleep Forest spoke in tongues so wise Nature whispered lullabies [Chorus] Before we came and changed the scene The world was pure and evergreen Mountains sang their timeless song Echoed through the days so long
[Verse 1] Midnight calls, and I’m all alone, Echoes whisper through my bones. Silver light on an empty street, Lost in the night where our hearts used to meet. [Pre-Chorus] I’ve been running through the dark, Chasing shadows of your heart. But the wind it howls your name, And I can’t escape the pain. [Chorus] Under the moonlight, I cry for you, A lonely howl, lost in the blue. The stars may shine, but they can’t undo, This wild love, still burning through. [Verse 2] Footsteps fade like a ghost in time, But your touch still lingers in my mind. Every night, the sky turns grey, I close my eyes, but I see your face. [Pre-Chorus] I’ve been running through the dark, Chasing shadows of your heart. But the wind it howls your name, And I can’t escape the pain. [Chorus] Under the moonlight, I cry for you, A lonely howl, lost in the blue. The stars may shine, but they can’t undo, This wild love, still burning through. [Bridge] I’m a lone heart, calling in the night, Searching for the fire in your eyes. If you hear me, call me back again, Don’t let this love just fade in the wind. [Final Chorus] Under the moonlight, I cry for you, A lonely howl, lost in the blue. The stars may shine, but they can’t undo, This wild love, still burning through. [Outro] Moonlight glows, but I stand still, Waiting for the love I feel. If you're out there, hear my cry, Run to me before the night runs dry.
