An Exception to the Rule Lyrics

An Exception To The Rule
By Dwight Yoakam
Soft clouds all drift away
And bright sunshine never stays
Warm afternoons turn rainy, dark and cruel
A candle's glowing light will die
` G Cadd9
The purest voices often lie
and with love I've found that all the same are true
Chorus:
Even though I should know better
I guess we could maybe try
There is the risk of looking like a fool
Aww, 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 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
Soft clouds all drift away
and bright sunshine never stays
but you might be an exception to the rule
