An Exception to the Rule - Dwight Yoakam

Soft clouds all drift away

Bright sunshine never stays

Warm afternoons turn rainy dark and cruel

A candle’s glowing light will die

The purest voices often lie

And with love I’ve found that all the same is true

Even though I should know better

I guess we could maybe try

There is the risk of looking like a fool

Ah, But I’ve got a lucky feeling

Just a hunch, don’t ask me why

You might be an exception to the rule

Sweet dreams can’t be recalled

High hopes can collapse and fall

As the sky keeps turning sadder shades of blue

The strongest promise finally breaks

And only leads to bigger aches

Are lessons that I learned at sorrow’s school

Even though I should know better

I guess we could maybe try

There is the risk of looking like a fool

Ah, but I’ve got a lucky feeling

Just a hunch, don’t ask me why

You might be an exception to the rule

Even though I should know better

I guess we could maybe try

There is the risk of looking like a fool

Ah, but I’ve got a lucky feeling

Just a hunch, don’t ask me why

You might be an exception to the rule

Soft clouds all drift away

And bright sunshine never stays

But you might be an exception to the rule
