Dwight Yoakam - An Exception To The Rule Lyrics
Soft clouds all drift awayBright sunshine never staysWarm afternoons turn rainy,Dark and cruel.A candle's glowing light will dieThe purest voices often lieAnd with love I've foundThat all the same is true.Even though I should know betterI guess we could maybe tryThere is the riskOf looking like a foolAh, But I've got a lucky feelingJust a hunch, don't ask me whyYou might be an exceptionTo the rule.Sweet dreams can't be recalledHigh hopes can collapse and fallAs the sky keeps turningSadder shades of blue.The strongest promiseFinally breaksAnd only leads to bigger achesAre lessons that I learnedAt sorrow's school.Even thoughI should know betterI guess we could maybe tryThere is the riskOf looking like a foolAh, But I've got a lucky feelingJust a hunch, don't ask me whyYou might be an exceptionTo the rule.--- Instrumental ---Even thoughI should know betterI guess we could maybe tryThere is the riskOf looking like a foolAh, But I've got a lucky feelingJust a hunch, don't ask me whyYou might be an exceptionTo the rule.Soft clouds all drift awayAnd bright sunshine never staysBut you might be an exceptionTo the rule...
