(mac mcanally)



In a holiday inn, in a bar, in a corner

A man sat starin' at the life that he'd been handed

Prayin' for a miracle to let him sleep



He's got a woman back home and a woman in the city

Both of them sittin' by the phone and he can't stand it

How could such a simple man be in so deep



When he believes in the miracle of love

And she believes the same

And he believes that the woman that shares his love

Should share his name, should share his name



Well, his head's sayin' no and his heart's sayin' maybe

Torn between the places he's been sleepin'

Prayin' for a miracle that he won't get caught



He's just an old-fashioned man with a modem day problem

Weighted down by the secrets he's been keepin'

The things he didn't think about and the things he thought



When he believes in the miracle of love

And she believes the same

And he dozed off thinkin' that the woman that bears his child

Should bear his name, should bear his name



There's a page turned down in the family bible

God never wrote what it said in there

It's the name and the number of a woman

In memphis, tennessee



Not a chapter away from the crossin' of the jordan

Pain that only she can bear

She's got the same full name as a woman in memphis



She believes in the miracle of love

She better believe the same

'cause he believes that the women that share his love

Can share his name, can share his name
