Roads and Other Reasons Gene Watson

[Verse 1]
It's a lonely kind of living, never staying, never given
More than moments to remember as I'm passing through today
Satisfaction is in season but there's roads and other reasons
To be moving toward the morning when you'll find me gone away

[Chorus]
I'm just here and you can hold me on the nights you need a man
But it's nicer when I know you understand
That the only thing that lingers is the feeling of my fingers
As they touched your olive body and you melted in my hands

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
I'm proud of being me and just as proud of being free
And if that don't fit in your planning, better take me off your mind
'cause the plans that I've been in have ways of coming to an end abruptly
When the dreamer wakes to find I've gone on down the line

[Chorus]
I'm just here and you can hold me on the nights you need a man
But it's nicer when I know you understand
That the only thing that lingers is the feeling of my fingers
As they touched your olive body and you melted in my hands
