Well I dreamt that I saw Laura Wilson In a vision like when we were kids And I tired to tell her I'm sorry For leaving the way that I did And I heard she married a preacher And I saw her picture one time And I knew I had nothing to offer For this life is the highway kind But I'm getting too old for fairy tale stories Lovers that live on the run Heroes that ride like lightin Hit songs that never get sung Well if the hands on the clock worked backwards And I could right all the things I've done wrong Then I'd stay with Laura Wilson In the hills of Arkansas Well there somethings that I might do different Some stories that I wouldn't change Some people I wished I known better Some nights that I just couldn't trade Might spend more time in the sunshine And picking more traveling songs Laughing out loud Singing for crowds Instead of sitting here singing alone But I'm getting too old for fairy tale stories Lovers that live on the run Heroes that ride like lightin Hit songs that never get sung Well if the hands on the clock worked backwards And I could right all the things I've done wrong Then I'd stay with Laura Wilson In the hills of Arkansas Well there's places I've seen in my life time Still some places that I've never been Some places I'd love to go back to Some places I couldn't care less But out of all of the cities I've traveled And all the good people I've known The lessons I've learned is the memories that burn Are the feelings that lead me back home But I'm getting too old for fairy tale stories Lovers that live on the run Heroes that ride like lightin Hit songs that never get sung Well if the hands on the clock worked backwards And I could right all the things I've done wrong Then I'd stay with Laura Wilson In the hills of Arkansas And I'd stay with Laura Wilson In the hills of Arkansas
