Chorus: I'd have kept him up all night
I wouldn't let him close his eyes
Made him sing "I Saw the Light"
'til he sobered up again
I'd have kept his coffee strong
Oh I could have kept him hangin' on
If I'd have been in the back
Of Hank's Cadillac
Gotta be in Ohio by tomorrow night
Hank you gotta get up on that stage
You can't let all those good people down
It just ain't right
To book a show
And not show up to play
Chorus
When his hands started tremblin' and his body turnin' cold
And death started tuggin' at his soul
I'd of found one of his songs playin' on that AM radio
Held him tight and begged him not to go
I'd have held him tight and begged him not to go
Chorus
He'd have lived to play more songs
Oh, I could have kept him hangin' on

Has anybody ever told you
They'd be lucky just to know you
How many nights spent wishing they could hold you
Has anybody ever told you
And when you walk into a dark room
Light of a thousand moons surround you
Yeah there's just something about you
Has anybody ever told you
Baby you don't have to try
Your light just shines on its own
And when I stand beside you
I just wanna hold on
I don't know how to explain it
Oh but you keep my sky from raining
Yeah and you turn the gray to bright blue
Has anybody ever told you
Baby you don't have to try
Your light just shines on its own
And when I stand beside you
I just wanna hold on
Has anybody ever told you
They'd be lucky just to know you
How many nights spent wishing they could hold you
Has anybody ever told you
I know I'm not the first to wanna hold you

Used Like an old panio played for generations slowly fading out of tune, (Used like the soul's on the bottom of my favorite pair of dancing shoes
I know I'm not some bright and shinny polished up car that's sparkling new right off the salesroom floor
Yeah I've got some dents and bruises I've been dropped and there's a scar where my heart has been broke before, but in the end I'll be worth a whole lot more
Used
Used, like a book read so many times front to back it starts to split in two,
Used like a house where a family lived till they died and there's a soul in every room
I know I'm not some brand new neww dress hanging there perfectly pressed, that never has been worn I've got some button's missing and there a couple stains and places where the fabric has been torn, but in the end I'll be worth a whole lot more,
Used
Used
This fragile heart has been passed around been ignored and been let down, been learning since the day that I was born
But everything it's been through has lead me down to this road to and I can give like I couldn't give before, but in the end I can love a whole lot more.
Used

Duet with Dwight Yoakam
You've been out with the boys
Don't you think its time to put your toys away now?
You make laugh the way you pout
When I tell you can't stay out to play now.
Go ahead stick out your lip
I can pitch a bigger fit
that’s why we call each other baby
The way we carry on sometimes
Up all night driving each other crazy
Why don't we sing a lullaby
When you don’t get what you want
You go crying on the telephone to mama
You call me names, slam the door
Make me a pallet on the bedroom floor for drama
Acting like a little child
If it wouldn't make you make that smile *
that’s why we call each other baby
The way we carry on sometimes
Up all night driving each other crazy
Why don't we sing a lullaby
Hold your breath, stick out your lip
Honey to trip on it!
that’s why we call each other baby [baby]
The way we carry on sometimes
Up all night driving each other crazy
Why don't we sing a lullaby
Why don't we sing a lullaby
* I'm not sure on this line, Dwight sort of mumbled

I want him but he don't want me, .
He wants somebody else that I can't be.
And she's got a man that she wants to leave,
'Cause he can't seem to make her happy.
Does it have to be wrong to make it feel right?
Tell me why ain't nobody satisfied?
Old man lookin' a photograph,
Of a love that's long gone from his past.
And his wife's got a letter that she can't read,
From a boy who never came back from the sea.
All these secrets or lies we keep deep inside
Does it have to be wrong to make it feel right?
Tell me why there ain't nobody satisfied, yeah?
See that man walkin' down the street,
Yeah, what are the odds, he's the one for me?
An' what if I pass him by an' he's got the love I need?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Tell me why there ain't nobody satisfied?
I want him but he don't want me, .
He wants somebody else that I can't be.
And she's got a man that she wants to leave,
'Cause he can't seem to make her happy.
See that man walkin' down the street,
Yeah, what are the odds, he's the one for me?

I could go out tonight
And find some stranger
It wouldn't be wrong
No, it wouldn't be wrong
Cause it ain't no crime, no felony
There ain't no chains here
Holdin' me down, holdin' me down
There ain't no place here
On this earth I'd rather be
So why would I leave
I could want somebody else
I could need somebody else
I could love somebody other than you
But I don't want to
There's no good help there for me now
There's nothing I can't do without
I can't live without
You make me feel like heaven's
Pouring down on me
I know I'm free
I could want somebody else
I could need somebody else
I could love somebody other than you
But I don't want to
I could dream somebody else
Be treated like a queen by someone else
I could love somebody other than you
But I don't want to
(I don't want you to leave..ohh)
I could want somebody else
I could need somebody else
I could love somebody other than you
But I don't want to
I could dream somebody else
Be treated like a queen by someone else
I could love somebody other than you
But I don't want to

I wear him like a tattoo
I wear him like a scar
I wear him like a hangover
That ain't worn off so far
I pour him cups of coffee
I take him in my dreams
I talk to him like he's still here
But you won't ever see him
'Cause he ain't comin' back
Happy where he's at
I'm livin' in the past
And he ain't comin' back
The mirror tells a story
That I just don't want to hear
The reflection of a broken girl
Has never been more clear
I found his favorite t-shirt
That's a good excuse to call
But there's nothin' here that he wants
When he left he took it all
He ain't comin' back
Happy where he's at
Oh, I'm livin' in the past
He ain't comin' back
I know what I did wrong
And I wish he'd come back home
But he ain't comin' back
Happy where he's at
I'm livin' in the past

I'm flat on the floor
With my head down low
Where the sky can't rain on me anymore
Don't knock on my door cause I won't come
I'm hiding from the storm 'til the damage gets done
Baby, baby, baby, baby tell me why
You gotta make me, make me, make me, make me cry
Oh, lord
If I told you once, I told you a thousand times
You can't knock me off my feet, when I'm already on my knees
Cause I'm flat on the floor with my head down low
Where the sky can't rain on me anymore
Don't knock on my door cause I won't come
I'm hiding from the storm 'til the damage gets done
Baby, baby, baby, baby tell me how
You think you gonna live without my love now
I don't know why you gotta keep coming around
Creeping up my street
Oh boy, you can't bother me
Now I'm flat on the floor with my head down low
Where the sky can't rain on me anymore
Don't knock on my door cause I won't come
I'm hiding from the storm 'til the damage gets done
You ain't gonna get to me tonight
I'll lay right here 'til it all blows through
I ain't gonna raise my body
'til there ain't no sign, 'til there ain't no sign, 'til there ain't no sign to you
Cause I'm flat on the floor with my head down low
Where the sky can't rain on me anymore
Don't knock on my door cause I won't come
I'm hiding from the storm 'til the damage gets done
I'm flat on the floor with my head down low
Where the sky can't rain on me anymore
Don't knock on my door cause I won't come
I'm hiding from the storm 'til the damage gets
Now I'm flat on the floor with my head down low
Where the sky can't rain on me anymore
Don't knock on my door cause I won't come
I'm hiding from the storm 'til the damage gets done
Don't knock on my door

-Girl
Waking up with you makes me feel alive.(oh)
And every kiss you give still takes me by surprise
So I thought that I would tell the world today
My life has changed so ill say
-Chorus
You are not a stranger. You’re not just friend
You are not just lover who is sleeping in my bed
You are what I came for, always thinking of
you are everything I wanted and love
-Boy
You wash me with you eyes
You give me all your time
Someone I cant forget and I always dreamed Id find
So I thought id tell the world today
All because of you ill never be the same
Chorus Repeats
-Girls
So many times I told you so
I guess I wanted you to know.
Chorus Repeats

Dear Time,
If you don't mind
Would you kindly read this letter of mine?
I've got some things I need to know,
some questions laying heavy on my soul.
Dear Time,
Why've you been
taken me so far away from way back when?
I know I'm just a simple heart.
But you've got a way of tearing my little world apart.
I know you're precious, I've heard you fly.
Before I know it, you've already gone by.
But I need a moment to slow down.
Can't you stop your cruel old hands from spinning round?
Dear Time, Dear Time
I've had loved ones who've moved on.
How'd you keep going like there's nothing wrong?
Somehow the years keep passing by,
I see you in the lines around my eyes.
I know your precious,I've heard you fly.
Before I know it
you've already gone by.
But i need a moment to slow down.
Can't you stop your cruel old hands from spinning round?
Dear time, Dear Time
Dear Time, if it's not too late can I go back and fix all my mistakes? Can you be tender, can you be sweet? Will you have a little mercy on me?

I was only seventeen when I first met you
And you were always wilder than me
But I still loved you
But you said I had to watch all the seasons change before I knew
You said you had a dream and you had to find it
You always wanted a girl like me but this wasn't how you timed it
Boy meets girl they fall in love
Boy leaves for the city lights and she's crying
But I ain't crying
(Chorus)
It's been four weeks twenty-eight days
Since you went away
I know you'll be back someday
From California
And I'll be the barefoot blonde
Sliver rings and blue jeans on
Standing out there with the dog
Just waiting for you
From California
You sent me Malibu on the back of a post card
Sure looks pretty out there
But you sound lonesome
I volunteered at the county fair
They got me painting daisies on the babies cheeks
Now ain't that sweet
(Repeat Chorus)
You got a job playing guitar
Well that don't surprise me
I always thought you were a star
But I'm glad you miss me
