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
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. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/d/dwight_yoakam/an_exception_to_the_rule.html ]
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
But I've got a lucky feeling
Just a hunch, don't ask me why
You might be an exception
To the rule.

Of looking like a fool
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...
