Down the Road with Chris Beck

[Verse] There's a man named Chris Beck, drives a beat-up Chevy truck, Heart's a rolling stone, never seem to have much luck. He’s got a grin as wide as a country mile, Leaving hearts broken, Lord, that’s just his style. [Verse 2] Met him down at the old Bluebird Café, Charming all the ladies with the words he'd say. But behind those eyes, there's a wandering soul, Leaves a trail of heartache, chasing rock 'n' roll. [Chorus] Chris Beck, you wild-hearted man, Running like the wind through the promised land. You love 'em and leave 'em, with a wink and a smile, But heartbreak's waiting just another mile. [Verse 3] Down by the river, said we’d meet at noon, Held my hand tight, called me his June. But come the morning light, he was gone with the dawn, Left me singing sad songs, just me and my fawn. [Verse 4] Small town whispers travel fast and far, “Oh, honey, watch out for that man at the bar.” He talks about forever but he's gone with the night, Leaving lonely shadows in the dim porch light. [Chorus] Chris Beck, you wild-hearted man, Running like the wind through the promised land. You love 'em and leave 'em, with a wink and a smile, But heartbreak’s waiting just another mile.
