Lonestar, where are you out tonight?
This feeling I'm trying to fight
It's dark and I think that I would give anything
For you to shine down on me
How far you are, I just don't know
The distance, I'm willing to go
I pick up a stone that I cast to the sky
Hoping for some kind of sign
Lonestar, where are you out tonight?
This feeling I'm trying to fight
It's dark and I think that I would give anything
For you to shine down on me
I still remember the night we met
You said you loved my smile
But your love for me was like a summer breeze
Oh, it lasted for a while
I could hold on a little tighter I know
But when you love someone you gotta let 'em go so
I'm gonna smile
'Cause I want to make you happy
Laugh, so you can't see me cry
I'm gonna let you go in style
And even if it kills me
I'm gonna smile
Kiss me once for the good times, baby
Kiss me twice for goodbye
You can't help how you don't feel
And it doesn't matter why
Give me a chance to bow out gracefully
'Cause that's how I want you to remember me
I'm gonna smile
'Cause I want to make you happy
Laugh, so you can't see me cry
I'm gonna let you go in style
And even if it kills me
I'm gonna smile
I'm gonna smile
So you can find the courage
Laugh, so you won't see me hurtin'
I'm gonna let you go in style
And even if it kills me
Those neon signs are burnin' bright tonight
They got the music cranked up
Gettin' down with some ??
I'd like to shake the hand of the man
Who designed those rocky Janes
You oughta see them on the dance floor
Shake that thing
Shake that thing
Oh, let the music move you
Come on and shake that thing
It's something you can groove to
Shake it left, shake it right into the middle
Clap your hands, stomp your feet with a wiggle
Listen to the words and sing
Shake that thing
It's like a little kid in a big old candy store
Watchin' those sweet things slidin' across the floor
It's a honky tonk playground
And I've found more swings than I've ever seen
You oughta see them on the dance floor
Shake that thing
Shake that thing
Oh, let the music move you
Come on and shake that thing
It's something you can groove to
Shake it left, shake it right into the middle
Clap your hands, stomp your feet with a wiggle
Listen to the words and sing
Shake that thing
Oh what I wouldn't give to be your bodyguard
I wish I had a swing like that in my backyard
Shake that thing
Oh, let the music move you
Come on and shake that thing
It's something you can groove to
Shake it left, shake it right into the middle
Clap your hands, stomp your feet with a wiggle
Listen to the words and sing
Shake that thing
Yeah, shake that thing (shake that thing)
Yeah, shake that thing (shake that thing)
Yeah, shake that thing (shake that thing)
(Michael Britt/Richie McDonald/Frank Myers)
I hear the sound of gentle rain
Like teardrops on the windowpane
A priceless smile in a wooden frame beside the bed
I stare at the ceiling and talk to the walls
I lay here alone and imagine it all
As a river of memories rush through my head
I can almost taste your kiss as I think about how much I miss
Your hungry eyes, your satin skin
The sound of your voice whisperin'
The love I feel inside your heart
When you're wrapped up in my arms so close
That's what I miss the most
I try to rest but sleep won't come
My body aches and my mind is numb
Shadows fall as the morning sun begins to rise
Another day without you here
Has it been weeks or has it been years
I find it getting harder to keep track of time
I breath in and I breath out but it's getting tough to live without
Your hungry eyes, your satin skin
The sound of your voice whisperin'
The love I feel inside your heart
When you're wrapped up in my arms so close
That's what I miss the most
What I miss the most
I can almost taste your kiss as I think about how much I miss
Your hungry eyes, your satin skin
The sound of your voice whisperin'
The love I feel inside your heart
When you're wrapped up in my arms so close
That's what I miss the most
Brothers Wilber and Orville Wright
Built wings out of wood and steel
Folks said that thing'll never fly
They said watch, I bet it will
We've been dyfyin' gravity now goin' on a hundred years
It was paper wings, faith and dreams
That's how we got from there to here
A nickel brought a soda pop way back then
And a movie only cost a dime
He came home with a scar and a purple heart
She waited all that time
Today they'll cut a golden wedding cake
How'd they made it all those years
It had to be tough, they just said it was love
That's how they got from there to here
You either do or you don't believe
That it can or can't be done
An ounce of faith and a touch of grace
And it can happen to anyone
Four boys, lotsa noise, two-car garage
Hey, turn those guitars down
They couldn't know that the world would grow
In time to love that sound
They headed out, in a beat up van
And a U-Haul packed full of gear
The road was long, but the will was strong
That's how they got from there to here
Yeah, they got a bus but you can bet they'd walk
Just to hear another crowd cheer
It was a song and a prayer and a lotta luck and you
(Richie McDonald/Robbie Cheuvront/Chris Waters)
Twenty bucks buys ten coupons
Two ears of corn and one ride on
The tilt-a-whirl with your favorite girl
Keep on walking down the midway
Three-eyed goats and games to play
Step right up, Carney says try your luck
You can tell the sweet smell of summer in the air
Whole town shuts down, everybody's gonna be there
Down at the county fair
Big time, big top, big crowds, big hair
There's nothing bigger all around
The country anywhere
Than the county fair
Judging pigs and judging pies
Fighting for the first place prize
And have you seen this year's queen
4-H Club and FFA working toward a better day
And a petting zoo, yeah, they got that too
And eight o'clock rolls around, everybody knows
The grandstands open up and it's time for the big show
Down at the county fair
Big time, big top, big crowds, big hair
There's nothing bigger all around
This country anywhere
Than the county fair
Down at the county fair
Big time, big top, big crowds, big hair
There's nothing bigger
All around this country anywhere
Than the county fair
Down at the county fair
Big time, big top, big crowds, big hair
There's nothing bigger
In small towns everywhere
Than the county fair
County fair
Yeah, county fair
Walking through life without clouds above me
Never thought I'd find someone to love me
Lost in the crowd, never felt so lonely
And I really living and barely holding
Onto a dream of what could be
It only took one taste of your kiss
Now I know everything that I've missed
My heart is beating for the first time
Anticipating your every touch
Intoxicating me with your love
And I'm so high
And you're the reason why, oh
Walking on clouds and finally laughing
I never believed that this could happen
You found a place I never knew existed
Two souls embrace with no resistance
Just in time, you've saved my life
It only took one taste of your kiss
Now I know everything that I've missed
My heart is beating for the first time
Anticipating your every touch
Intoxicating me with your love
And I'm so high
And you're the reason why
You're why
Oh, you're the reason why
You're the reason why, yeah
It only took one taste of your kiss
Now I know everything that I've missed
My heart is beating for the first time
Anticipating your every touch
Intoxicating me with your love
And I'm so so high
And you're the reason why
Riding restless under a broken sky
A weary traveler something missing inside
Always looking, for a reason to turn around
Desperate for a little peace of mind
Just a little piece of what I left behind
Well I've found it now
You're like comin' home
You're like a Sunday morning
Pleasing my eyes
You're a midsummer's dream
Under a star soaked sky
That peaceful easy feelin'
At the end of a long long road
You're like comin' home
You're like comin' home
Go ahead and let your hair fall down
This wanderlust, it's gone now
Here in your arms I'm safe from the world again
These are the days they can't be erased
Baby there isn't a better place
You're like heaven
You're like comin' home
You're like a Sunday morning
Pleasing my eyes
You're a midsummer's dream
Under a star soaked sky
That peaceful easy feelin'
At the end of a long long road
You're like comin' home
You're like comin' home
You're that innocence
That serenity
Presents underneath the tree
Candles burning bright
Stockings hung with lots of care
On this silent Christmas night
What makes this season magical
Is what made my dream come true
Just seeing you
To be here with you
Oh this Christmas time
Is the best one ever
The greatest gift in life
Is you and me together
And I thank heaven for sending you here tonight
This Christmas time
Some people hope for rings of gold
All that money buys
Children have their list of toys
Prayin' Santa gets it right
The one thing I wish for
Came true when you walked in
To hear you laugh again
To see you smile again
Oh this Christmas time
Is the best one ever
The greatest gift in life
Is you and me together
And I thank heaven for sending you here tonight
Oh this Christmas time
Oh this Christmas time
Is the best one ever
The greatest gift in life
Is you and me together
And I thank heaven for sending you here tonight
Sending you here tonight

Monday was a bummer, Tuesday was another day
They could've left out of the week
Wednesday nearly got me, Thursday all but stopped me
I was broken down and beat
Then I started feelin' strong when Friday finally came along
T.G.I.F you know what that means
Get down to the beach A.S.A.P
Yea, there's gonna be a party goin' all weekend
Polynesian Polly and her parrot head friends
Gonna stay until there's not a pina colada left T.G.I.F
Yea, there's ain't no stoppin' once the band starts rockin'
With them shaker things and big steel drums
Don't worry half as much about the tide risin' up
As we do 'bout getting low on rum
So bury me in the sand, put a frozen drink in my hand
T.G.I.F you know what that means
Get down to the beach A.S.A.P
Yea, there's gonna be a party goin' all weekend
Polynesian Polly and her parrot head friends
Gonna stay until there's not a pina colada left T.G.I.F
Yea, T.G.I.F you know what that means
Get down to the beach A.S.A.P
Yea, there's gonna be a party goin' all weekend
Five O'clock none stop the fun begins
T.G.I.F., you know what that means
Get down to the beach A.S.A.P
Yea, there's gonna be a party goin' all weekend
Polynesian Polly and her parrot head friends
Gonna stay until there's not a Pina Colada
I like your look in that sweater
All warm and bundled up tight
But I keep picturing something a little different tonight
I see you in a bikini
One lazy toe in the pool
Layed back and sippin' on something long, tall and cool
Yeah, I can't wait for a warm breeze blowin'
Green grass growin' and the bright sunshine
Short sundress with your long legs showin'
I can't wait for the summertime
Oh the summertime
I'm gonna find us some tickets
To a tropical isle
You just see if your mama can keep the kids for awhile
We'll take our drinks with umbrellas
We'll take a room with a view
I'm gonna take my sweet time makin' love to you
That's what I'm gonna do
I can't wait for a warm breeze blowin'
Green grass growin' and the bright sunshine
Short sundress with your long legs showin'
I can't wait for the summertime
Feel your body next to mine
In the summertime
Yeah, I can't wait for a warm breeze blowin'
Green grass growin' and the bright sunshine
Short sundress with your long legs showin'
I can't wait for the summertime
Oh I can't wait for a warm breeze blowin'
Green grass growin' and the bright sunshine
Short sundress with your long legs showin'
I can't wait for the summertime
Feel your body next to mine
In the summertime
Summertime
Summertime
Got us a situation
It don't need no explanation
It don't take a scientist
To figure out just what this is
Unlike the changing seasons
Love happens without reason
It's as simple as that
Two people meet it's destiny that they're together
It's as simple as that
I knew when I met you that this would last forever
It's as simple as that
And I can promise you that I will leave you never
I'm happy right where I'm at
It's as simple as that
It's how I feel when you call my name
It's holdin' hands in the pouring rain
A slow dance that never ends
The sweet sound of violins
And even when we're apart
You beat around in my heart
It's as simple as that
Two people meet it's destiny that they're together
It's as simple as that
I knew when I met you that this would last forever
It's as simple as that
And I can promise you that I will leave you never
I'm happy right where I'm at
It's as simple as that
It's as simple as that
Two people meet it's destiny that they're together
I knew when I met you that this would last forever
And I can promise you that I will leave you never
I'm happy right where I'm at
It's as simple as, it's as simple as that
It's as simple as that
It's as simple as that
I got a black book full of numbers
All the makings of a real hot summer
Radio cranked up a rockin'
A week's pay burning a hole in my pocket
I got everything I need, almost
Everything I need I'm this close
Everything I need wouldn't you know
The only thing I lack is you and a ragtop Cadillac
I got my new boots off of layaway
It's Friday night and I'm ready to play
It's full of quarters for the telephone
A '65 chevy from a friend on loan
I got everything I need, almost
Everything I need I'm this close
Everything I need now wouldn't you know
The only thing I lack is you and a ragtop Cadillac
I got everything I need, almost
Everything I need I'm this close
Everything I need wouldn't you know
The only thing I lack is you and a ragtop Cadillac
You and a ragtop Cadillac
O holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Till he appeared and the soul felt its worth.
The thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees,
Oh, hear the angel voices
O night divine,
O night when Christ was born
O night divine,
O night, O night divine,
The thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees,
Oh, hear the angel voices
O night divine,
O night when Christ was born
O night divine,
O night, O night divine,
Who knows where this road will end
What you're gonna miss
Life's not long enough
To spend it on regrets
All I know is what I'm seein' in your eyes
Hold me close before the moment passes by
If ever there was a night
If ever the time was right
It's now
Nothing else matters
If ever a meant to be
Truly was meant to be
It's us
Right here, right now
Say a million other dreams
Haunt you in your sleep
It's hard to know which ones
Are the ones that you should keep
But look around
Don't get caught up in the past
Put your faith in the ones you think will last
If ever there was a night
If ever the time was right
It's now
Nothing else matters
If ever a meant to be
Truly was meant to be
It's us
Right here, right now
If ever there was a night
If ever the time was right
It's now
Nothing else matters
If ever there was a night
If ever the time was right
It's now
Nothing else matters
If ever a meant to be
Truly was meant to be
It's us
Right here, right now
Right now
Sideways, cockamamie
The idea is just a little too brainy
That a fine girl like you would
Bumpety-bump with a midnight fool
I took the fall in a neon minute
You were there and I feel right in it
Uh-oh, it just hit me
The rattlesnake if love done bit me
I'm goin' down, getting dizzy
Can't get enough of your kissy, kissy
No cure, I don't want one
Oh baby, this must be love
Lunchtime and I eat a sandwich
I think of you and the world starts to vanish
Call you up from a cell phone
Smack in the middle of a blasting zone
You get me so excited
I can't wait for my fuse to be lighted
Uh-oh, it just hit me
The rattlesnake if love done bit me
I'm goin' down, getting dizzy
Can't get enough of your kissy, kissy
No cure, I don't want one
Oh baby, this must be love
You got me lost in a wonderland
Love songs played by a marching band
Lips like roses, skin like cream
Please don't wake me from this dream
Uh-oh, it just hit me
The rattlesnake if love done bit me
I'm goin' down, getting dizzy
Can't get enough of your kissy, kissy
No cure, I don't want one
Oh yeah
Yeah oh yeah
The only ground I ever owned was sticking to my shoes
Now I look at my front porch and this panoramic view
I can sit and watch the fields fill up
With rays of glowing sun
Or watch the moon lay on the fences
Like that's where it was hung
My blessings are in front of me
It's not about the land
I'll never beat the view
From my front porch looking in
There's a carrot top who can barely walk
With a sippy cup of milk
A little blue eyed blonde with shoes on wrong
'Cause she likes to dress herself
And the most beautiful girl holding both of them
And the view I love the most
Is my front porch looking in, yeah
I've traveled here and everywhere
Following my job
I've seen the paintings from the air
Brushed by the hand of God
The mountains and the canyons reach from sea to shining sea
But I can't wait to get back home
To the one he made for me
It's anywhere I'll ever go and everywhere I've been
Nothing takes my breath away
Like my front porch looking in
There's a carrot top who can barely walk
With a sippy cup of milk
A little blue eyed blonde with shoes on wrong
'Cause she likes to dress herself
And the most beautiful girl holding both of them
Yeah the view I love the most
Is my front porch looking in
I see what beautiful is about
When I'm looking in
Not when I'm looking out
There's a carrot top who can barely walk
With a sippy cup of milk
A little blue eyed blonde with shoes on wrong
'Cause she likes to dress herself
And the most beautiful girl holding both of them
Yeah the view I love the most
Oh, the view I love the most
Is my front porch looking in
Yeah
Oh, there's a carrot top who can barely walk
(From my front porch looking in)
A little blue eyed blonde with shoes on wrong, yeah
And the most beautiful girl
(Beautiful girl
From my front porch looking in)
Holding both of them
I've got this dream that won't go away
When I close my eyes your there night and day
Baby whatever it takes I've gotta find you
Are you someone I know or that I'll meet by chance
Are you somewhere close or in a far away land
Across the ocean or burnin' sand, I've gotta find you
I've gotta find you
Don't care how long it takes
I know when I do it'll be worth the wait
With God as my witness and love as my guiding star
Maybe Miami on some sandy beach
New York City making waves on wall street
No matter where you are
I've gotta find you
I've gotta find you
You could be a checker at the grocery store
For all I know you're the girl next door
One thing I know for sure, I've gotta find you
You might be a waitress workin' your way through school
Or the anchor person on the six o'clock news
Only my heart knows who, I've gotta find you
I've gotta find you
Ddon't care how long it takes
I know when I do it'll be worth the wait
With God as my witness and love as my guiding star
Maybe Miami on some sandy beach
New York City making waves on wall street
No matter where you are
I've gotta find you
No matter where you are
I've gotta find you
Lotta people talkin' 'bout
Givin' up and walkin' out
These days
Made up their minds don't want the hurt
They're resigned not to do the work
It takes
Well whatever happened to hangin' on
And goin' the extra mile
Whatever happened to believin'
Let's bring it back
A true love that lasts
Let's take a chance
At spending a lifetime together
In a slow dance
In a deep trance
In a romance
Let's bring it back
Used to be a simple thing
All it took was a simple dream
And love
And when the ride got a little rough
You'd buckle down, stick it out
And rise above
Well, whatever happened to knowin'
That we kept the promise made
Whatever happened to those days
Let's bring it back
A true love that lasts
Let's take a chance
At spending a lifetime together
In a slow dance
In a deep trance
In a romance
Let's bring it back
The kissin', the laughin', the passion
Let's bring it back
That's what two hearts should have
In a slow dance
In a deep trance
In a romance
Let's bring it back
In a slow dance
All that romance
Standing at the mirror rinsing off my razor
Wish I was still in bed
You're sneaking up behind me
With nothing but a towel on
You start breathing down my neck
If you don't wanna spend the rest of this day
Lying the dark, driving each other crazy
Careful where you kiss me
I love your sweet good morning baby hugs
But you know how your soft lips tear me up
Careful where you kiss me
You know the buttons you know where to push em
And which ones turn me on
You're putting me on the spot
No, baby, don't stop
Cause girl, I'm not that strong
I don't know how far you want this to go
But, baby, I just might lose control
Careful where you kiss me
I love your sweet good morning baby hugs
But you know how your soft lips tear me up
Careful where you kiss me
I love your sweet good morning baby hugs
But you know how your soft lips tear me up
Careful where you kiss me
Oh, careful where you kiss me
Yeah, careful where you kiss me
Oh, careful where you kiss me
Oh, careful where you kiss me
Here's the keys to my heart
Honey drive me crazy
Take me anywhere you wanna go
Here's the keys to my heart
Honey drive me crazy
Fill it up with love and let it roll
I gotta admit it's been wrecked a time or two
A little t.l.c. and it'll be brand spanking new
Honey slide on in, I'll let you take it for a spin
You'll like the way it feels when you get behind the wheel
Here's the keys to my heart
Honey drive me crazy
Take me anywhere you wanna go
Here's the keys to my heart
Honey drive me crazy
Fill it up with love and let it roll
If you hear little knocking it might be skipping a beat
When it's hugging those curves, it just might overheat
It's got a lifetime guarantee, a hot rod built for speed
So go ahead and let if fly, you'll love the way it rides
Here's the keys to my heart
Honey drive me crazy
Take me anywhere you wanna go
Here's the keys to my heart
Honey drive me crazy
Fill it up with love and let it roll
Here's the keys to my heart
Honey drive me crazy
I can't quote the Bible
I skipped Sunday school
And I can't count the times I fell, and broke the golden rule
So I don't know if he listens
Sometimes I wonder if he cares
But maybe I'm just wishin'
'Cause I can't even prove he's there
(chorus)
But I pray
He'll watch over my children
I Pray
Just to be a better man
To find the strength to rise above
To be there for the ones I love
To forgive and be forgiven some sweet day
I pray
I confess that I don't bow my head as often as I should
Mostly just when times are bad, rarely when they're good
And I don't hold with too much preachin'
But I was raised up to believe
That a man can't ever stand as tall
As when he gets down on his knees
(2nd Chorus)
So I pray
For a world that's gone half crazy
I pray
For ever woman, child and man
To find the strength to rise above
To teach each other how to love
To forgive and be forgiven some sweet day
I pray
I pray
I got to have a shot of what you got is oh so sweet
You got to make it hot like a boomerang I need a repeat
Oh gimme all your lovin' all your hugs and kisses too
Gimme all your lovin' don't let up until we're through
You got to whip it up and hit me like a ton of lead
If I blow my top will you let it go to your head
Oh oh oh gimme all your lovin'...
[ guitar ]
You got to move it up and use it like a screwball would
You got to pack it up work it like a new boy would
Oh gimme all your lovin'...
Yeah gimme all your lovin' all your hugs and kisses too
Gimme all your lovin' don't let up until we're through until we're through
[ guitar ]
Gimme all your lovin'...
Hey, we're walkin' through this together
And I'm holdin' onto you
Nothin' can separate
This little twist of fate
You're the one my heart belongs to
Nothin's quite as sweet as the journey
So let's go around the world
Takin' in everything no matter what life brings
We're gonna be chasin' forever
All the way
To the end
All my life
And back again
Every day
I'll be here
Loving you
All through the years
And it's true
There's so much freedom in knowin'
How sure we are that we're goin'
All the way
People ask me think y'all can make it
And I tell them honestly
This ain't no fleeting thing
We're not imagining
This is it, we know it's meant to be
'Cause I love you, love you competely
I've never felt like this
I don't want nothin' but
Something that's passionatev 'Cause the only way I know how to love is
All the way
To the end
All my life
And back again
Every day
I'll be here
Loving you
All through the years
And it's true
There's so much freedom in knowin'
How sure we are that we're goin'
All the way
All the way
There's so much freedom in knowin'
How sure we are that we're goin'
All the way
All the way
All the way
His name was Travis, hers was Vanessa
Two Texas kids from west of Odessa
Young love and lust defy rational thinkin'
They were hotter than an oil field on fire
When you're that young everything's crucial
You don't wait around for parental approval
So he asked the question and she answered yes
They jumped in his truck and tore out for Juarez
They had an informal wedding south of the border
Got a room with a view for three bucks and a quarter
On a Mexican night you don't care what might lie ahead
They had a wonderful week in Juarez
Now, when the bottom fell out of his chosen vocation
They were too broke to move to a greener location
Bills you can't pay put a strain on devotion
They decided to just call it quits
Well, it might have been luck or divine intervention
But on the way to the lawyer divorce wasn't mentioned
He said I still love you, she looked at him
And said I know a great way to start over again
They had an informal wedding south of the border
Got a room with a view for three bucks and a quarter
On a Mexican night you don't care what might lie ahead
They had a wonderful week in Juarez
His name was Travis, hers was Vanessa
She introduced herself as Amy, said call me Caroline for short
I just moved in three doors down so I wouldn't be the girl next door
And I knew the shoes she wasn't wearing fit her just right
She said, "Hey, man did you know that somebody left your grass out in the yard all night?"
She's unusually unusual
Absolutely unpredictable
She's so different and that's what's wonderful
She's unusually unusual
And that's beautiful to me
She had a tattoo above her ankle of a trident submarine
She said it symbolizes awesome powers hidden deep within our dreams
And her diamond eyes, different in color, held me captive in their light
And she said "Hey, man did you know we used to be brothers in some past life?"
She's unusually unusual
Absolutely unpredictable
She's so different and that's what's wonderful
She's unusually unusual
And that's beautiful to me
Some people may think she's strange, a different cup of tea
But she just does it for me
She's unusually unusual
Absolutely unpredictable
She's so different and that's what's wonderful
She's unusually unusual
I remember that kiss in a cold world, oh girl
Sunlight fell from your lips, tenderly you shattered me
Somehow you touched me like no one else
Slipped into my soul like a prayer
Baby, with the sweetest kiss
You came along and stole my breath
Tore down my defenses with a whisper
Oh you showed me how love can be
You broke through to my heart
Softly, baby softly
You're like God in this world, fragile, beautiful
There's so much trust in your eyes, they make me remember blue
Skies and sunshine
I wanna be what you see in me
I wanna love you the way you love me
Baby, with the sweetest kiss
You came along and stole my breath
Tear down my defenses with a whisper
Oh you show me how love can be
You break through to my heart
Softly
I don't wanna be that strong if it means being alone
I wanna stay with you where I belong
And let you show me just how good love can be
You break through to my heart
Softly, baby softly
I've waited all of my life to find my destiny
Then like a sunrise appears, you came to me
I never knew it before that I could feel this way
I thought I'd lost my faith
But since you captured my heart
I can say, oh, that...
Love can change your mind, I know
Love can move your heart and soul
And just when you think
Hope has gone and left you behind
Love can change your mind
Picture it if you will, heaven right here on earth
Suddenly, everything's new
Now, I can see what believing was worth, oh, 'cause...
Love can change your mind, I know
Love can move your heart and soul
And just when you think
Hope has gone and left you behind
Love can change your mind
I was so lost and alone
I felt like my angels had flown away
But now my heart has come home
And I know that it's here to stay, oh, 'cause...
Love can change your mind
And just when you think
Hope has gone and left you behind
Love can change your mind, I know
Love can move your heart and soul
And just when you think
Hope has gone and left you behind
He called her on the road from a lonely cold hotel room
Just to hear her say, "I love you one" more time
But when he heard the sound
Of the kids laughin' in the background
He had to wipe away a tear from his eye
A little voice came on the phone
Said, "Daddy when you comin' home?"
He said the first thing that came to his mind
I'm already there
Take a look around
I'm the sunshine in your hair
I'm the shadow on the ground
I'm the whisper in the wind
I'm your imaginary friend
And I know, I'm in your prayers
Oh I'm already there
She got back on the phone
Said, "I really miss you darlin'"
"Don't worry about the kids they'll be alright
Wish I was in your arms, lyin' right there beside you"
"But I know that I'll be in your dreams tonight
And I'll gently kiss your lips
Touch you with my fingertips
So turn out the light and close your eyes"
I'm already there
Don't make a sound
I'm the beat in your heart
I'm the moonlight shinin' down
I'm the whisper in the wind
And I'll be there 'til the end
Can you feel the love that we share?
Oh I'm already there
We may be a thousand miles apart
But I'll be with you wherever you are
I'm already there
Take a look around
I'm the sunshine in your hair
I'm the shadow on the ground
I'm the whisper in the wind
And I'll be there 'til the end
Can you feel the love that we share?
Oh I'm already there
I'm dreamin' tonight of a place I love
Even more then I usually do
And although I know it's a long road back
I promise you
I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents under the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light beams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light beams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
Ooh, when I see her in my tee shirt
Brushin' her teeth, dancin' to the radio
Ooh, her coffee and her kissin'
The way she looks at me, I hate to see her leave
But I sure love watchin' her go
Every little thing she does
Every little thing she does
I keep fallin' in love with every single simple
Ordinary little thing she does
Ooh, paintin' on her toenails
Watchin' TV, got her mama on the telephone
Ooh, in a corner at a party
She puts down her drink, gives me a little wink
And says wait 'til I get you home
Every little thing she does
Every little thing she does
I keep fallin' in love with every single simple
Ordinary little thing she does
Listenin' to her breathe, watchin' her when she sleeps
The bubbles in her bath, the funny little laugh
Oh yea, oh yea, oh yea
Every little thing she does
Every little thing she does
I keep fallin' in love with every single simple
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
So I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
So I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on, our troubles will be far away
Here were are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.
Here were are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
So you say your love's about to end
You say you can't take no more
She's out the door
And your looking for a friend
Who am I to tell you why
But I'm just curious, were you furious
Or did you swallow your pride
And look her in the eye and
Tell her that you love her
Tell her that you need her
Tell her that you want her to stay
Reassure her with a kiss
She may never know unless you
Show her what your feeling
Tell her you're believing
Even though it's hard to say
'Cause she needs to know you're thinking of her
So open up and tell her that you love her
Brother I've been right where you are now
And my heart was broke
'Cause I never spoke
Those healing words out loud
But I've learned my lesson well
And now every night
Before I close my eyes
I look at my woman and
I ask myself did you
Tell her that you love her
Tell her that you need her
Tell her that you want her to stay
Reassure her with a kiss
She may never know unless you
Show her what your feeling
Tell her you're believing
Even though it's hard to say
'Cause she needs to know you're thinking of her
So open up and tell her that you love her
Tell her that you love her
Tell her that you love her
Tell her that you need her
Tell her that you want her to stay
Reassure her with a kiss
She may never know unless you
Show her what your feeling
Tell her you're believing
Even though it's hard to say
'Cause she needs to know you're thinking of her
So open up and tell her that you love her
Every time our eyes meet
This feeling inside me
Is almost more than I can take
Baby, when you touch me
I can feel how much you love me
And it just blows me away
I've never been this close to anyone or anything
I can hear your thoughts, I can see your dreams
I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby, I'm amazed by you
The smell of your skin
The taste of your kiss
The way you whisper in the dark
Your hair all around me
Baby, you surround me
You touch every place in my heart
Oh, it feels like the first time every time
I wanna spend the whole night in your eyes
I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby, I'm amazed by you
Every little thing that you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Oh, every little thing that you do
Baby, I'm amazed by you
I can see it in your eyes
You're livin' a troubled life
And you've been hurtin' more and more these days
You don't have to hide it
Don't even have to fight it
Baby all you have to do is just turn and walk away
When you're tired of it all
And tears need to fall
You back's to the wall
Come cryin' to me
You don't have to be strong
You don't have to hold on
You've been there too long
Come cryin' to me
I'll leave the living room light
Burning all night
No don't even pack
Don't even look back
Baby come cryin' to me
You can get beyond this
All those empty promises
They don't have to hold you down no more
Nothin' to explain to me
You don't even need a key
All you gotta do is knock and I'll unlock the door
When you're tired of it all
And tears need to fall
You back's to the wall
Come cryin' to me
You don't have to be strong
You don't have to hold on
You've been there too long
Come cryin' to me
I'll leave the living room light
Burning all night
No don't even pack
Don't even look back
Baby come cryin' to me
I'll leave the living room light
Burning all night
No don't even pack
Don't even look back
Baby come cryin' to me
Baby come cryin' to me
Well you say your daddy is a real cool dude and you keep no secrets from him
Well he knows you got a wild hair knows your kinda out there and knows about your crazy friends
And he done found out about the night you snuck out with the Cadillac keys
But darlin' does your daddy know about me
Well he knows you been skippin' them Sunday school meetings
He's heard how fast you drive
Knows you got an attitude seen your little tattoo but he lets all that slide
And I bet my boots that he think he knows you from A to Z
But darlin' does your daddy know about me
Well do you think he's got a clue about the things we've been doing underneath the moon and stars
And how the ground starts shakin' from the poundin' of our hearts
Yeah, like a good daddy should he's warned you about the wolves and told you about the birds and bees
But darlin' does your daddy know about me
Well do you think he's got a clue about the things we've been doing underneath the moon and stars
And how the ground starts shakin' from the poundin' of our hearts
Yeah, like a good daddy should he's warned you about the wolves and told you about the birds and bees
But darlin' does your daddy know about me
What Child is this, who lays to rest,
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
Haste, haste to bring Him praise,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh;
Come, peasant king, to own Him.
The King of Kings salvation brings;
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
Haste, haste to bring Him praise,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
Haste, oh haste to bring Him praise,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
Have you ever had one of those days
When you wake up feeling good
So good that you can take the whole world on
Or one of those days when you just know no matter what
Nothing in the world could go wrong
Well, that's the way I feel this morning
But, baby, I just gotta say
I always have one of those days
After one of those nights, just like last night
Oh, my, what a beautiful thing, just you and me
Those tangled sheets were wrapped around us
Baby, thanks to your love it was one of those nights
That leads to one of those days
That leads right to one of those nights
Have you ever had one of those smiles
You just can't wipe away the sweet anticipation's too strong
One of those smiles you wear all day
Cause you can taste the kiss of passion waiting back home
Well, that's the one I'm wearing right now
But, baby, you always leave one of those smiles on me
After one of those nights, just like last night
Oh, my, what a beautiful thing, just you and me
Those tangled sheets were wrapped around us
Baby, thanks to your love
It was one of those nights that leads to one of those days
That leads right to one of those nights
Oh, one of those nights, just like last night
Oh, my, what a beautiful thing, just you and me
Those tangled sheets were wrapped around us
Baby, thanks to your love it was one of those nights
One of those nights, just like last night
Oh, my, what a beautiful thing, just you and me
Those tangled sheets were wrapped around us
Baby, thanks to your love
It was one of those nights that leads to one of those days
That leads right to one of those nights
One of those nights
Oh, one of those nights, just like last night
Oh my what a beautiful thing, just you and me
Those tangled sheets were wrapped around us
Baby, thanks to your love
It was one of those nights, just like last night
Oh, my, what a beautiful thing, just you and me
Those tangled sheets were wrapped around us
You got your feet squeezed into heels that hurt
Cause they go with the job and they go with the skirt
You gotta look good when you're out there
Climbing ladders
You go above and beyond and then way beyond that
You do it all, yeah, you wear every hat
Hoping someone that matters will realize you matter
But all that really matters is it's Friday
And the sun is shining over my way
Toss your heels in the backseat
Drive home in your barefeet
Throw in that Van Morrison Cd
Chip away a little by little
Til you find your groove
I'll pick up some takeout, we can just hang out
Levis and wine, blankets and lights down
Lay your head right here on my shoulder
And just be you when you're with me
Girl, you got nothing to prove
I could listen all night if you wanna talk
Or we can lay here and say nothing at all
I already know who you are and that I love you
So, baby, take a long deep breath and exhale
Cause all you gotta be tonight is yourself
Toss your heels in the backseat
Drive home in your barefeet
Throw in that Van Morrison Cd
Chip away a little by little
Til you find your groove
I'll pick up some takeout, we can just hang out
Levis and wine, blankets and lights down
Lay your head right here on my shoulder
And just be you when you're with me
Girl, you got nothing to prove
You got nothing to prove
I'll pick up some takeout, we can just hang out
Levis and wine, blankets and lights down
Lay your head right here on my shoulder
And just be you when you're with me
Girl, you got nothing to prove
When we're together you got nothing to prove
You got nothing to prove, you got nothing to prove
Everywhere I look lately the only the thing I see
Is some advertisers telling me what I'm supposed to be
At the movies on my radio, on my TV screen
Someone's selling someone's yelling it makes me want to scream
My brain is ringin'
It's getting harder and harder to think through all this . . .
Noise
I've gotta get out of this noise
I can't even hear my own voice
It's drivin' me crazy, somebody save me
I've gotta turn down this noise
I need some peace and quiet just one minute to relax
All the information junkies keep distorting all the facts
If you dial this toll free number it's all within your reach
We'll all be rich and skinny while we're dancin' on the beach
The truth is still out there
But it's getting harder and harder to hear through all this . . .
Something keeps telling me
This ain't how it's meant to be
Why can't we stop this noise
We've gotta stop this noise
Somebody save me
Why do I do this to myself
Why do I want the one that wants somebody else
Don't you know
I'd get my heartbroke every day if I could
Why do I always take the fall
I'd rather have you hurtin' me than not have you at all
Don't you know
I'd get my heartbroke every day if I could
If I could
Don't you know
I'd get my heartbroke every day if I could
Another night out with the guys
Waiting for my heart to mend
Then you walk back in my life and it falls apart again
Ain't no doctor in this world
Gonna cure what's ailing me
I keep aching for you girl and it's such sweet misery
Why do I do this to myself
Why do I want the one that wants somebody else
Don't you know
I'd get my heartbroke every day if I could
If I could
Don't you know
I'd get my heartbroke every day if I could
Don't you know
I'd get my heartbroke every day if I could
Take it home son
When I go home for Christmas I've done made up my mind
Gonna do some things I wish I'd done back once upon a time
Everybody in the whole place is gonna know my name
I'll blow in like a hurricane and then blow out just the same
Paint "Seniors" on the water tower
I got the paint, I got the power
Do everything that I wish I'd done back then
Better late than never they say
Can't let the moment slip away
I'm gonna finally take my chances when I go home again
Gonna call old Frankie Walker and ask him if he might
Meet me at the dragstrip and he can eat my dust tonight
I'm gonna look up Laura what's her name and finally make it clear
I studied every square inch of her legs our junior year
Everybody's got some things they wish they'd said or done
I'm gonna do my best to do 'em everyone
Gonna finall tell my mama about that Friday night
I didn't trip and fall, I got that shiner in a fight
And if I get my courage up I might just spill the beans
Changing partners
And changing my mind
Anyone who got to close
Got left behind
Same song and dance
Night after night
Trying to hold out and holding on time
Then you came waltzing in
Like a wild west Texas wind
I swore I'd never fall again
Then you came waltzing in
Picking 'em up and spinning them around
Well it's hard to keep your feet on the ground
I made up my mind to leave love alone
And keep stepping lightly with a heart made of stone
Then you came waltzing in
Like a wild west Texas wind
I swore I'd never fall again
Then you came waltzing in
I swore I'd never fall again
Fire, smoke, bad joke
That's what my life's been turned into
Hurt, cry, pray to die
That's all that I've got left to do
Without you
I feel my heart go up in flames
Without you
Nobody's here to see me cry
Or wipe the teardrops from my eyes
Without you
I'm the only one I've got left
And I can't live with myself
Without you, oh without you
Guilt, shame, I'm to blame
For all the pain I put you through
Cold, stoned, mind blown
There's nothin' left for me to lose
Without you
I feel my heart go up in flames
Without you
Nobody's here to see me cry
Or wipe the teardrops from my eyes
Without you
I'm the only one I've got left
And I can't live with myself
Without you, oh without you
Time goes by
Still, I'm
Without you
I feel my heart go up in flames
Without you
Nobody's here to see me cry
Or wipe the teardrops from my eyes
Without you
I'm the only one I've got left
And I can't live with myself
Sometimes I feel just like a fly in a soup bowl
Sometimes I feel like I'm on top of a heap
Sometimes I feel like I'm the king of the castle
Sometimes I feel like just a bump on a street
I got my highs and lows
Some days it's touch and go
But baby, this I know
When you're with me
I feel like singing
It's like I'm swinging the whole planet on the end of my chain
Oh, when you kiss me
My head starts spinnin'
It's like you're sending the adrenaline
Straight to my brain
And it feels right as rain
All my worries wash away
When you're with me
You are a lazy summer day on a porch swing
You are a night running wild on the town
My red Ferrari racing me down a back street
My pick-me-up when I'm a little bit down
No matter where I go, whatever dice I roll
Baby, this I know
When you're with me
I feel like singing
It's like I'm swinging the whole planet on the end of my chain
Oh, when you kiss me
My head starts spinnin'
It's like you're sending the adrenaline
Straight to my brain
And it feels right as rain
All my worries wash away
When you're with me
I got my highs and lows
Some days it's touch and go
But baby, this I know
When you're with me
I feel like singing
It's like I'm swinging the whole planet on the end of my chain
Oh, when you kiss me
My head starts spinnin'
It's like you're sending the adrenaline
Straight to my brain
And it feels right as rain
All my worries wash away
She got a pair of pink and purple high-heel shoes
And a baby doll t-shirt that says "I got issues"
She got holes in her jeans in all the right places
Let's just say she's downright curvaceous
She's wild...wild...wild as my wildest dreams
Yeah she's wild...if you know what I mean
She's wild as the wild wild west
But here's the part I love the best
That girl only gets wild with me
She loves to drop the top on her red VW
And the truckers looking down they love it too
She blows 'em a kiss just to get their air horns blowin'
Any more than that they'd never get to where they're going
Sunday picnic, summer afternoon
Red hot sun, spicy barbeque
Working up a sweat by the riverside
She says let's get wet, it's skinny-dipping time
When we punch out at four o'clock
Some of the boys down at the shop
Like to stop at Mojo's and have a beer or two
They laugh and make jokes at my expense
'Cause I go home instead of joinin' in
But I got other things I like to do
I'm not saying I'm better than them
But where they're going I've already been
I got a good woman at home waitin' for me
Three little angels cute as can be
Couple of dogs and one little calico cat
When the thunder rolls like thunder can
Got a king-size bed we can all fit in
And a key to happiness is under my doormat
What's wrong with that
I used to dream of being rich
While shoveling mud in a rain-soaked ditch
My boots had busted laces and worn out soles
I used to hang out with the party crowd
I drank more beer than the law allowed
But that feels like a whole other life ago
Sometimes we still live hand to mouth
But I got more blessings than I can count
It took some time and a lot of pain
To finally figure out
I can live without anything
I hear the sound of gentle rain
Like teardrops on the windowpane
A priceless smile in a wooden frame beside the bed
I stare at the ceiling and talk to the walls
I lay here alone and imagine it all
As a river of memories rush through my head
I can almost taste your kiss as I think about how much I miss
Your hungry eyes, your satin skin
The sound of your voice whisperin'
The love I feel inside your heart
When you're wrapped up in my arms so close
That's what I miss the most
I try to rest but sleep won't come
My body aches and my mind is numb
Shadows fall as the morning sun begins to rise
Another day without you here
Has it been weeks or has it been years
I find it getting harder to keep track of time
I breath in and I breath out but it's getting tough to live without
Your hungry eyes, your satin skin
The sound of your voice whisperin'
The love I feel inside your heart
When you're wrapped up in my arms so close
That's what I miss the most
What I miss the most
I can almost taste your kiss as I think about how much I miss
Your hungry eyes, your satin skin
The sound of your voice whisperin'
The love I feel inside your heart
When you're wrapped up in my arms so close
We've been through enough tequila
To float us outta this place
And through the smoke I can barely see ya'
But I've memorized your face
We've danced almost every dance
Lasted longer then the band
Oh but we're not through
It's just me and you
What do we do with the rest of the night
We got all of this time on our hands
Hey a lot can go down 'fore the sun comes up
Between a woman and a man
No we don't have to worry 'bout the rest of our lives
But what do we do with the rest of the night
We can take this party down to the river
Lay a blanket on the grass
Watch the stars tangle up together
While the night slides past
We can do what we wanna do
Roll away that book of rules
We'll make our own
Hey nothing's carved in stone
What do we do with the rest of the night
We got all of this time on our hands
Hey a lot can go down 'fore the sun comes up
Between a woman and a man
No we don't have to worry 'bout the rest of our lives
But what do we do with the rest of the night
What do we do with the rest of the night
We got all of this time on our hands
Hey a lot can go down 'fore the sun comes up
Between a woman and a man
No we don't have to worry 'bout the rest of our lives
But what do we do with the rest of the night
Spring break, Bamboo Bill's, the sun was smolderin' hot
We looked like two lobsters that washed up
Huntin' a place to cool off
I slid my Red Stripe over, next to her Corona and lime
Buffet in the background, laughed until sundown
Danced until' closin' time
Over two bottles of beer we watched the sun disappear
I knew I thought she was cool and could tell she dug me
I could go on 'bout that first kiss
But it really all started with
Two bottles of beer
Gulf breeze, Mississippi moon, a billion stars above
Half a mile down the beach, from that little tiki hut
Stopped in our tracks when we found out that
We both went to school at UT
Only catch was, she was from Texas, I was from Tennessee
By the time the tide had rolled in and rolled out
I'm tired of talking about the past
Time to take these stones out of my pack
I've been walking way too long with all this weight here on my shoulders
Hard to move while you're looking back
You, you're like a light in the darkness
You, you got me on track
Now the future is a big wide open highway
I wanna drive it our way
Just keep rolling all along, rolling along
Oh, the future is a wind that keeps on breaking
So hold my hand, let's dive in
Into the blue
Cause i look at you
And I see the future
No ropes, no strings to tie us down
Nothing to keep us on the ground
I don't need to know and I don't care just where we're going
I just dont wanna turn around
Don't wanna turn around
Cause the future is a big wide open highway
I wanna drive it our way
Just keep rolling along, rolling along
Oh, the future is a wind that keeps on breaking
So hold my hand, let's dive in
Into the blue
Cause I look at you
And I see the future
I don't wanna miss another minute
And now that I've got you by my side
In the future there's a big wide open highway
I wanna drive it our way
Just keep rolling along, rolling along
Oh, the future is a wind that keeps on breaking
So hold my hand, let's dive in
Into the blue
I look at you
I look at you, girl
And I see the future
It's the way you twist a curl into your hair
As you sit there unaware of how beautiful you are
It's the music that I always seem to hear
When you bring yourself to tears from laughing way too hard
And when we're slowly dancing and you slip off your shoes
Don't you know, baby, just like everything you do
That gets me, that just gets me every time
Right here inside this heart of mine
You open up your world and lay your love out on the line
That gets me, that just gets me every time
It's the way you say your prayers before you sleep
Then you curl up next to me and we hold each other close
And you tell me with your eyes that you'll never let me go
And that may be the moment that I love the most
When you make me feel like no other man exists
And when I taste the power and surrender of your kiss
That gets me, that just gets me every time
Right here inside this heart of mine
You open up your world and lay your love out on the line
That gets me, that just gets me every time
Right here inside this heart of mine
You open up your world and lay your love out on the line
That gets me, that just gets me every time
Oh that gets me, that just gets me every time
That gets me
It's the way you twist a curl into your hair
As you sit there unaware of how beautiful you are
It's the way you say your prayers before you sleep
Then you curl up next to me oh that gets me
Hey Buddy can you get me some faster wheels
I got a heartache nippin' at my heels
I'll be hurtin' if she gets a big head start
First that girl stole my attention
Not to mention all my affection
Now she's running away with my heart
I don't know where she's bound
But I aim to be there when the sun goes down
Do a little catchin' up in the dark
When we're out there under the moonlight
Even when I'm holdin' her tight
She's running away with my heart
No don't tell me 'bout the speed limit
I'll go a million miles a minute
Till I run the wheels right off of this car
I know exactly what I'd be losin'
That's why I'm doin' what I'm doin'
She's running away with my heart
I don't know where she's bound
But I aim to be there when the sun goes down
Do a little catchin' up in the dark
When we're out there under the moonlight
Even when I'm holdin' her tight
She's running away with my heart
Bells will be ringing the sad, sad news
Oh what a Christmas to have the blues
My baby's gone I have no friends
To wish me greetings once again
Choirs will be singing "Silent Night"
Christmas carols by candlelight
Please come home for Christmas,
Please come home for Christmas
If not for Christmas, by New Year's night
Friends and relations send salutations
Sure as the stars shine above
For this is Christmas, yes, Christmas my dear
It's the time of year to be with the one you love
So won't you tell me you'll never more roam
Christmas and New Year's will find you home
There'll be no more sorrow, no grief and pain
And I'll be happy, I'll be happy, once again
There'll be no more sorrow, no grief and pain
Joe Bob was as rough as they come and prone to blow his stack
Kenny Dean was in the suicide scene and sneakin' behind Joe's back
Sneakin' around with Joe's girl June she liked the boys in the band
And when they all got together on Saturday night it was easy to understand why
They called it Saturday night at the paradise knife and gun club
There's drinking and dancing to the music of Bobby Lee and The Blackjacks
It was Saturday night at the paradise knife and gun club
If you was looking for some trouble you could find it I guarantee
Now the owner of the place was a man named Jack and he wouldn't take talking back
He was married to a woman named Mae she took up the slack
He knocked ya out and she'd drag ya out and leave ya in the parking lot
And when you'd wake up in the mornin' with a busted head you're just happy that was all you got
Come Saturday night at the paradise knife and gun club
There's was drinking and dancing to the music of Bobby Lee and The Blackjacks
It was Saturday night at the paradise knife and gun club
If you was looking for some trouble you could find it I guarantee
Well the night that Joe Bob found out that Kenny Dean was sneakin' around with June
He caught Bobby Lee in the band in the middle of an old Hank William's tune
Bobby Lee cried out your cheatin' heart that was just the spark it took
And when the fighting got started everybody took part and that whole damn building shook
Till the sheriff came out and he stopped the bout hauled everybody to jail
When the judge saw the blood and the chewed up ears he turned a whiter shade of pale
He said good God ya'll what's happened here somebody started World War III
Kenny Dean just grinned the best he could and said your Honor it seems to me like it was just another
Saturday night at the paradise knife and gun club
They was drinking and dancing to the music of Bobby Lee and The Blackjacks
It was Saturday night at the paradise knife and gun club
If you was looking for some trouble you could find it I guarantee
Saturday night at the paradise knife and gun club
They was drinking and dancing to the music of Bobby Lee and The Blackjacks
It was Saturday night at the paradise knife and gun club
If you was looking for some trouble you could find it I guarantee
Only you can make this world seem right
Only you can make the darkness bright
Only you and you alone
Can thrill me like you do
And fill my heart with love for only you
Only you can make this change in me
For it's true, you are my destiny
When you hold my hand
I understand the magic that you do
You're my dream come true
My one and only you
Only you can make this change in me
For it's true, you are my destiny
When you hold my hand
I understand the magic that you do
You're my dream come true
My one and only you
You're my dream come true
She squeezed the handle, topped the tank off
Pulled out her necklace and kissed the cross
El Paso he waved, horizon off the hood
She's going through with something
He never thought she would
By now he's rolling over on his back
He ain't waking up
Not with all the liquors he's had
She'll be halfway to Longview by the time he starts to stir
By the time he opens his eyes she'll already be a blur
You go girl, get in that Cadillac
There ain't no lie in looking back
She tore outta that station
Dust and gravel flying
Sideswiped a couple of highway signs
Tore off both mirrors
Something free and wild
Yeah, seems like ages but there's that smile
That long lost smile
Staring through the windshield
A new look in her eyes
A conscience as clear as the Texas sky
She ran out of patience, out of strength
And out of tears
He ran out of second chances
And now she's outta here
You go girl, don't look back
And there ain't no lie in living like that
She tore outta that station
Dust and gravel flying
Sideswiped a couple of highway signs
Tore off both mirrors
Something free and wild
Yeah, seems like ages but there's that smile
That long lost smile, tthat long lost smile
Yeah, you go girl, you go girl
Hey, you go girl
Box speaker talkin' out a tune
Two for one on a blue lagoon
Another lost and found
Bartender takes another pass
Puts the salt on the rim of another glass
And he sits it down
I know every color of every neon sign
Flashing out a heartache in the back of my mind
Down at the lonely grill
Got nothing but time to kill at the end of everyday
I sit in a corner booth and do nothing but think of you
And the love we threw away
And I guess I always will
Down at the lonely grill
Sad-eyed waitress called Betty Lynn
Got her order pad and her ball-point pen
Said what'll it be
I said a tall glass of cold regret
A full order of loneliness
Like every night this week
I'll shoulder my pride and I drank it down
Another smoke filled evening with no fire to be found
Down at the lonely grill
Got nothing but time to kill at the end of everyday
I sit in a corner booth and do nothing but think of you
And the love we threw away
And I guess I always will
Down at the lonely grill
Lonely grill
I sit in a corner booth
And do nothing but think of you
And the love we threw away
And I guess I always will
Down at the lonely grill
Lonely grill
Down at the lonely grill
Down at the lonely grill
Down at the lonely grill
If you blink you might miss it
Population 803
Five miles long, four miles wide
Feels just right to me
Where a handshake still means something
And the little man still counts
Where the water tastes like it's supposed to
Yeah, folks around here are proud
To be from Little Town
Well the stars they just seem brighter
And the pace is nice and slow
And families stay together
God must be smiling down here on Little Town
There's a cardboard lemonade stand
At the end of our drive
For 50-cents they'll fill you up
He's seven and she's five
And in the fall there's football Fridays
We pack the kids and we head out
Climb the stands pass the band
And join the hometown crowd
And scream "Go Little Town"
Tell me what I have to do tonight
Cause I'd do anything to make it right
Let's be us again
I'm sorry for the way I lost my head
I dont why I said the things I said
Lets be us again
Here I stand with everything to lose
All I know is I dont wanna ever see the end
Baby please, I'm reachin out for you
Won't you open up your heart and let me come back in
Lets be us again
Us again
Look at me Im way past pride
Isn't there some way that we can try
To be us again
Even if it takes a while
I'll wait right here until I see that smile
That says we're us again
Here I stand with everything to lose
All I know is I dont wanna ever see the end
Baby please, I'm reachin out for you
Won't you open up your heart and let me come back in
Lets be us
Ohhh
Baby baby, what would I do
Can't imagine life without you
Here I stand with everything to lose
All I know is I dont wanna ever see the end
Baby please I'm reachin out for you
Won't you open up your heart and let me come back in
Oh here I am I'm reachin out for you
Won't you open up your heart and let me come back in
Lets be us again
I drove a beat up tractor down a one lane road
Pick her up early and away we'd go
Down to the river by the edge of her daddy's farm
We used to lay in the shade of a cottonwood tree
Back of my mind I thought she'd be
The one who'd spend forever in my arms
She said there's gotta be more to life
I don't wanna be some farmer's wife
Don't want a John Doe on a John Deere
There's a whole lotta boys like you around here
I wanna hear love songs in my ear
Don't want a John Doe on a John Deere
Not a John Doe on a John Deere
Well she packed her things and left this town
And I kept working this rock hard ground
Wondering if she ever thought about me
Then she called collect from San Antone
Just to hear some news from home
She laughed about how good things used to be
This big city ain't good for me
I'll meet you down by the cottonwood tree
I need a John Doe on a John Deere
There ain't a lotta boys like you around here
I wanna hear love songs in my ear
I need a John Doe on a John Deere
Want a John Doe on a John Deere
I need a John Doe on a John Deere
There ain't a lotta boys like you around here
I wanna hear love songs in my ear
I need a John Doe on a John Deere
You've been livin' way to long in broken promiseland
Your dreams crushed and scattered like a million grains of sand
I'd love to be your redemption but I am just a man
And I may never be a hero
But I'm a rock you can lean on
If I don't love you like you deserve
If I don't stop every tear you're cryin'
If I don't make your life a heaven on this earth
I'll die tryin' I'll die tryin'
I'll listen to your secret prayer and share your deepest wish
Search for a hundred years just to find the perfect kiss
Of everything within' my power there's nothin' I won't give
To be that part of you and your life
That takes what's wrong and makes it right
I may never be a hero
But I'm a rock you can lean on
I wanna be that part of you and your life
That takes what's wrong and makes it right
I'll die tryin'
I'll die tryin'
I'll die tryin'
Don't just call it quits say there's no chance for you out there
I know you're at a crossroads where love doesn't seem to be fair
He made no effort to satisfy all your hopes and dreams
But if you'll give love another shot and look to me
I'll die trying
Hold on to me show me your needs
I'll fly higher
Give what I can give as sure as I live
I see those other guys
I hear 'em tell you lies
That same old song they sing
They only want one thing
I know you're searching for
Something that's so much more
I wanna give it to ya
I wanna be the one
The one who makes you feel something real
The one and only one
The one who gets down deep - plays for keeps
I wanna be the one
The one who talks it through - listens to you
Please let me be the one
The one who truly knows you - just let me show you
I wanna make you see
The possibilty
Of all that we can be
For all eternity
And when you fall in love
Yeah, really fall in love
I wanna be the one
Girl you don't know me well
But someday time will tell
These dreams I promise you
You'll see them all come true
I'm talking band of gold
I'm talking soul to soul
And I ain't just talking baby... ooh
I wanna be the one
The one who makes you feel something real
The one and only one
The one who gets down deep - plays for keeps
I wanna be the one
The one who talks it through - listens to you
Please let me be the one
The one who truly knows you - just let me show you
And when you fall in love
Yeah, really fall in love
I wanna be the one
Here I am again staring at these unfamiliar walls
Of some hotel so far from home
I try my best to sleep, I close my eyes
But all this peace and quiet just reminds me I'm alone
Let me hear your voice on the wind
Let me feel your touch on my skin
I never wanted you the way I want you now
I would give anything to see your arms reach out
I never hurt like this or felt the emptiness I feel inside
I never needed you like I need you tonight
All I think about is how sweet you look standing in the doorway
Smiling while I brushed away your tears
All I dream about is the next time I can hold you
And I can show you all the love I'm feeling here
Talk about a sweet situation
Girl you've got me in one
You can lock me in your heart
And throw away the key
We can get a little fire going
Let burn it all night
'Cause I love the way you do that
It makes me want you so bad
And baby you can do that
Anytime at all
Fingers on my skin
Your doing it again
I love the way you do that, do that
If you doubt my love and affection
Girl I'm gonna show you
I ain't holdin' anything back
You can have it all
You're wrapping me around you finger
And I don't want you to stop
'Cause I love the way you do that
It makes me want you so bad
And baby you can do that
Anytime at all
Fingers on my skin
You're doing it again
I love the way you do that, do that
Well I can see it in your eyes
You can probably read my mind
Oh you know just exactly what I want
I love the way you do that
It makes me want you so bad
And baby you can do that
Anytime at all
Fingers on my skin
You're doing it again
I love the way you do that, do that
I love the way you do that
It makes me want you so bad
And baby you can do that
Anytime at all
Fingers on my skin
You're doing it again
I love the way you do that, do that
I love the way you do that
It makes me want you so bad
And baby you can do that
Anytime at all
Fingers on my skin
Baby come sit down beside me
I wanna hear all about your day
There was a pile up on the interstate
I'm sorry that I got home so late
I thought about you all the way home
Can we leave the TV off tonight
Unplug the phone
I just want to love you
More than anything else
More than life itself
More than ever baby
I just want to hold you
Touch the heat on your skin
Again and again and again
Let's shut out the world, dim all the lights
Baby tonight
I just want to love you
We can a couple candles
And watch the shadows dance on the wall
While we're moving through the silence
To the rhythm of our own song
I don't wanna fall asleep tonight
Don't wanna think about tomorrow
I am a man on a mission
I have tunnel vision
Just 'cause I'm not talking
Don't mean that I'm not listening
You can say I suffer from a lifelong condition
You know I love you baby
But try to understand I am a man
I am a man of passion
Maybe it's magic, maybe it's a chemical reaction
All I know is you walk in the room
There's a fire deep inside me
And it's burning just for you
You know I want you baby
Try to understand
I am a man
I'm right, I'm wrong
I'm weak, I'm strong
And I'm all points in between
I don't say much
But when we touch
You know just what I mean
I'm a man of conviction
I do believe in God
But I wrestle with the devils of addiction
Sometimes I lie awake at night
Pray that you'll turn over
Wrap your arms around me tight
Put my head on your shoulder
You know I need you baby
Try to understand
Hey, God, I don't believe I ever thanked you
For the time my brother got sick
Wasn't sure he'd make it
Then he finally pulled through
And, hey, God, I wanna thank you for my family
They're healthy and they're beautiful
We were gonna stop at two
Now there's number three
You have your ways, you have your plan
Sometimes mysterious and hard to understand
I am humbled by your grace and everything you do
Hey, God, hey, God, I just wanna thank you
Hey God, take good care of my nephew
He was only nineteen
They say he didn't feel a thing
Now he's there with you
And, hey, God, you know what it's like to lose
Someone who you truly love when you gave your son to us
You must have cried then too
You have your ways, you have your plan
Sometimes mysterious and hard to understand
I am humbled by your grace and everything you do
Hey, God, hey, God, I just wanna thank you
Sometimes I forget to stop and bow my head
And remember that I have been blessed
Oh, you have your ways, you have your plan
Sometimes mysterious and hard to understand
I am humbled by your grace and everything you do
Hey, God, hey, God, I just wanna thank you
Well I never should have turned my head
To see some other lovely thing
Walking pretty down the street
'Cause just about that time my girl she realized
Caught my eyes and busted me
Now I'm back out in this bed I made face down in the dirt
Beggin' to get my baby back, you think I would have learned
It's just another day in the dog house
I better change my ways and my wandering eyes
It's just another day in the doghouse
Thinking this is probably where this dog is gonna die
I stumbled in at 3am
After poker night with my friends
She was waiting up and angry
I said honey I lost track of time, not to mention every dime
That I had on me
Now I'm back out in the yard and sad and all alone
If you find forgiveness in your heart just throw this boy a bone
Now I'm back out in this bed I made face down in the dirt
People smile and tell me I'm the lucky one
We've just begun, I think I'm gonna have a son
He will be like you and me, free as a dove
Conceived in love, the sun is gonna shine above
Even though we ain't got money
I'm so in love with ya honey
Everything will bring a chain of love
In the mornin' when I rise
Bring a tear of joy to my eyes
And tell me everything's gonna be all right
Love a girl who holds the world in a paper cup
Drink it up, love her and she'll bring you luck
If ya find she helps your mind, better take her home
Oh dontcha live alone, try to earn what lovers own
Even though we ain't got money
I'm so in love with ya honey
Everything will bring a chain of love
In the mornin' when I rise
Bring a tear of joy to my eyes
And tell me everything's gonna be all right
Even though we ain't got money
I'm so in love with ya honey
Everything will bring a chain of love
In the mornin' when I rise
Bring a tear of joy to my eyes
And tell me everything's gonna be all right
Even though we ain't got money
I'm so in love with ya honey
Everything will bring a chain of love
In the mornin' when I rise
Bring a tear of joy to my eyes
She got an old Silverado and forty-seven acres
She played the hack so loud she blew out her speakers
She gotta neon Bud sign hanging in the kitchen
And a Texas longstalk stitched on her britches
She keeps a double barrel next to the bed
Got a little money shaker that'll knock ya dead
She's a cowboy girl, tough on the leather
Wilder than the Fourth of July
She's a cowboy girl, if you wanna catch her
Man, you better know how to ride
She puts on her boots and drives to the city
Them uptown boys, they all think she's pretty
Oh, but she don't want your black Mazeradi
She wants a dirt bike mud ride out in the country
She's a sweet little twister in a Stetson hat
Let me tell ya mister, nothing wrong with that
She's a cowboy girl, tough on the leather
Wilder than the Fourth of July
She's a cowboy girl, if you wanna catch her
Man, you better know how
Man, you better know how to ride
Ow, ride em girl
She's a bona fide, southern fried
Friday night queen
Knock em down drag em out
Honkey tonk dream
I gotta get her with me
She's a cowboy girl, tough on the leather
Wilder than the Fourth of July
She's a cowboy girl, if you wanna catch her
You're gonna have to chase that cowboy girl
Tough on the leather
Wilder than the Fourth of July
She's a cowboy girl, if you wanna catch her
Man, you better know how
Man, you better know how to ride
Ah, yeah
Down a dirt road in southern Louisiana
Flew a white Continental with the top laid back
Pretty blonde sittin' on a seat of red leather
Dust blowin' outta those well wore tracks
She goin' back
Moss hangin' down like beards in the bayou
Old folks watchin' from a rockin' chair
Ain't no place for a girl of her state
She's gonna ruin her reputation
She don't care cause he's waitin' there
She's gonna say
Tell me you think that I'm pretty
Tell me you think that I'm smart
Tell me anything and I'll believe it
'Cause I'm listening with my heart
Maybe it's wrong but that's the way it goes
When the only love you get is down
Cheater's road
Bedsprings rubbin' her back through the blanket
Sweat like a tear rollin' down her neck
Watchin' him pullin' down the shades on the window
She'd rather have him than an empty bed and her self respect
And she says
Tell me you think that I'm pretty
Tell me you think that I'm smart
Tell me anything and I'll believe it
'Cause I'm listening with my heart
Maybe it's wrong but that's the way it goes
When the only love you get is down
Cheater's road
Old man countin' his money in the city
Nothin' but the bottom dollar on his mind
The whole situation is a downright pity
He didn't even notice when she crossed that line
When she crossed that line
And she said
Tell me you think that I'm pretty
Tell me you think that I'm smart
Tell me anything and I'll believe it
'Cause I'm listening with my heart
Maybe it's wrong but that's the way it goes
When the only love you get is down
Cheater's road
Down cheater's road
Oh tell me you think that I'm pretty
Tell me you think that I'm smart
Oh tell me you think that I'm pretty
Tell me you think that I'm smart
Oh tell me you think that I'm pretty
I can see why you think you belong to me
I never tried to make you think
Or make you see one thing for yourself
But now you're off with someone else and I'm alone
You see I thought that I might keep you for my own
Amie, what you wanna do
I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer, if I do?
Don't you think the time was right for us to find
All the things we thought weren't proper could be right in time?
And can't you see which way we should turn together or alone
I can never see what's right or what is wrong
Don't you take too long to tell me?
Amie, what you wanna do
I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer, if I do?
Amie, what you wanna do
I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer, if I do?
Now just come to what you want, you've had your way
And all the things you thought before just faded into gray
And you can say that I don't know if it's you or if it's me
If it's one of us, I'm sure we both will see
Won't you look at me and tell me
Amie, what you wanna do
I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer, if I do?
Amie, what you wanna do
I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer, if I do?
Amie, what you wanna do
I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer, if I do?
It don't jingle like a jingle bell
It ain't made by a bunch of elves
It don't come from the old North Pole
Can't be delivered by a Ho-Ho-Ho
What it is
Your gonna love it
You can't get to much of it
Here's the package baby open it up
I'm givin' you all my love for Christmas
I'm givin' you all my love
You won't find it underneath the tree
You can't buy it with a roll of green
It's the thing that makes life worth living
It's the gift that just keeps on giving
What it is
Your gonna love it
You can't get to much of it
Here's the package baby open it up
I'm givin' you all my love for Christmas
I'm givin' you all my love
Yeah what it is
Your gonna love it
You can't get to much of it
Here's the package baby open it up
I'm givin' you all my love... for Christmas
I'm givin' you all my love for Christmas
Alright, well I rolled in town with the rag top down
I was looking' for that home coming queen
That three by nine lit hotel sign read
Welcome back class of eighty-three
There were football guys twice their size
Cheerleaders hiding the grey in their hair
The names were the same but the faces had changed
I didn't recognize anyone there
That used to be us, we used to be cool
With the music cranked up, hangin' out after school
That used to be chill, that used to be joke
Tell me where in the world did we all go
That used to be us, oh that used to be us
I had a drink with some buds
Played a lot of catch up
Danced with my date from the prom
But as hard as I tried until I closed my eyes
Everybody I knew was gone
There was Mr. Finch, he taught English and French
He was dancing with a couple of canes
And that home coming queen, yea the girl of my dreams
She didn't even remember my name
That used to be us, we used to be cool
With the music cranked up, hangin' out after school
That used to be chill, that used to be joke
Tell me where in the world did we all go?
That used to be us
As I stand here and look around
I can't help but wonder
Who will be ten years from now
That used to be us, we used to be cool
With the music cranked up, hangin' out after school
That used to be chill, that used to be joke
Tell me where in the world did we all go
That used to be us, oh that used to be us
High school halftime Friday night
Standing on the fifty yard line
Big old blue and gold tuba in my hand
I could see Katie Ann in the popcorn line
Couldn't see how to make her mine
I was always in the band
At eighteen I found a cheap guitar
Became Seeger and Willie in a smokey bar
And bared my soul beneath a rusty old mic stand
I get her name and number on a second break
Watch someone dance my chance away
I was always in the band
Sometimes this dream demands more than I can give it
But even still I don't regret a single minute
Oh, to hear you laugh, to feel your pain
To see a thousand waving flames
It's just a part of me, that's who I am
I was always in the band
Met her backstage before a show Las Vegas rodeo
Three months later I asked her for her hand
We tied the knot on the Sixth of June
Woulda had a honeymoon
But I was always in the band
Left Dallas on the way to Omaha
Round Tapeeka when I got the call
Baby's coming, honey, get here when you can
Yeah, I guess I shoulda turned that bus around
I'da let 30,000 people down I was always in the band
Sometimes this dream demands more than I can give it
But even still I don't regret a single minute
Oh, to hear you laugh, to feel your pain
To see a thousand waving flames
It's just a part of me
Thank God she understands
I was always in the band
Everybody's talkin' 'bout the supermodel world
Cindy, Naomi and that whole bunch of girls
Redheads, brunettes and blondes with blue eyes
They come in every shape yea they come in every size
You know I love everything they do
I check 'em out on every Pay-Per-View
Oh, but honey that was way before I met you.
And then
You walked in with legs up to your neck
You walked in I'm a physical wreck
You walked in I've lost my cool babe
But what'd you expect
When you walk in baby love begins
When you walk by baby ooh my my
When you come around, my jaw hits the ground
When you shake your thing I jump outta my skin
When you cross the floor I scream "more baby more"
When you flash your smile you drive me wild
Yea, yea, yea, yea, yea
Everybody's checkin' out the glossy magazines
Madonna, Diana, you know the whole scene
The covergirls, the centerfolds and every movie star
And all those pretty ladies down there at the local bar
I couldn't think of nothin' better to do
Than checkin' out a little wiggle or two
Oh, but honey that was way before I met you
And then
You walked in with legs up to your neck
You walked in I'm a physical wreck
You walked in I've lost my cool babe
But what the heck
When you walk in baby love begins
When you walk by baby ooh my my
When you come around, my jaw hits the ground
When you shake your thing I jump outta my skin
When you cross the floor I scream "more baby more"
When you flash your smile you drive me wild
Yea, yea, yea, yea, yea
I couldn't think of nothin' better to do
Than checkin' out a little wiggle or two
But honey that was way before I met you
When you walk in baby love begins
When you walk by baby ooh my my
When you come around, my jaw hits the ground
When you shake your thing I jump outta my skin
When you cross the floor I scream "more baby more"
When you flash your smile you drive me wild
Now you drive me wild
When you walk in baby love begins
When you walk by baby ooh my my
When you come around, my jaw hits the ground
When you shake your thing I jump outta my skin
You say I'm aggressive, too possessive
It's too soon, too much
You want to wait around, slow it down, but I'm burnin' up
What can I do to get through to you, I know that you're the one
'Cause there's no controllin' this emotion, it's bigger than us
You don't know what love is
If you think that I can fight this feeling
Keep my true heart from revealing
Everything inside
You don't know what love is
If you hear me say your mine forever
Feel our two hearts beat together
And think you can resist
You don't know what love is
It's soft and gentle, it's sentimental
Can't you feel it too
There's no denyin' or compromising, it's perfectly true
It's overpowering, it's all around me when I'm around you
You don't know what love is
If you think that I can fight this feeling
Keep my true heart from revealing
Everything inside
You don't know what love is
If you hear me say your mine forever
Feel our two hearts beat together
And think you can resist
You don't know what love is
I see you smile and girl I'm sure I've found it
Heaven knows there's just no doubt about it now
You don't know what love is
If you think that I can fight this feeling
Keep my true heart from revealing
Everything inside
You don't know what love is
If you hear me say your mine forever
Feel our two hearts beat together
And think you can resist
You don't know what love is
You don't know what love is
You don't know what love is
I guess just about everything I've ever done
I've been tryin' to impress or get close to one of 'em
Seems like I was about thirteen
Bobbi Jo Guthrie was the pumpkin queen
That night I realized for the very first time
Women rule the world
The way they talk, the way they giggle
The way they walk, the way they jiggle
Makes men buy 'em diamonds and pearls
That look when they're up to something
Soft touch, oh that lovin'
They're sexy when they're mamas
Cute when they're girls
Women rule the world
We men like to think we're in control
We all want to be big shots
We like to think we run the show
The truth is with just the right smile
You ladies know you can drive us wild
Those mini-skirts and the way you flirt
You know just what works
Women rule the world
The way they talk, the way they giggle
The way they walk, the way they jiggle
Makes men buy 'em diamonds and pearls
That look when they're up to something
Soft touch, oh that lovin'
They're sexy when they're mamas
Cute when they're girls
Women rule the world
In all shapes and sizes
They make my temperature rise
Style and brains, the whole shebang
I'm here to say, women rule the world
That look when they're up to something
Soft touch, oh that lovin'
They're sexy when they're mamas
Cute when they're girls
Women rule the world
Women rule the world
Women rule the world
Sleigh bells ring
Are you listening
In the lane
Snow is glistening
A beautiful sight
We're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song
As we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend he is Parson Brown
He'll say: Are you married?
We'll say: No man
But you can do the job
When you're in town
Later on
We'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid
The plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland
Winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman
Until the other kiddies knock him down
When it snows
Ain't it thrilling
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play
The Eskimo way
Walking in a winter wonderland
Yeah we're walking in a winter
Yeah we're walking in a winter
We're walking in a winter wonderland
Wonderland
Seven hundred head of cattle on an old forgotten trail
Six cowboys and one old man in another day of hell
Chuckwagon lagging behind from the strain of a broken wheel
The only thing to look forward to was a campfire and a meal
Asleep beneath an open sky with just the stars above their heads
A saddle for a pillow and some sagebrush for a bed
Waking up tomorrow was merely done by chance
Back when the west was wild and cowboys didn't dance
When cowboys didn't dance
Didn't wear designer shirts
When their hearts were filled with memories
Their bodies filled with hurt
They would sit around the campfire and exchange a piercing glance
Back when the west was really wild and cowboys didn't dance
More coffee from an old tin cup, more sweat upon the brow
Another day of chasing that same old lonely cow
With every new horizon began a brand new day
Thirteen hundred miles to go as they slowly made their way
Across the plains of Texas and through the Colorado snow
Final destination Blackfoot, Idaho
When cowboys didn't dance
Didn't wear designer shirts
When their hearts were filled with memories
Their bodies filled with hurt
They would sit around the campfire and exchange a piercing glance
Back when the west was really wild and cowboys didn't dance
When cowboys didn't dance
Didn't wear designer shirts
When their hearts were filled with memories
Their bodies filled with hurt
They would sit around the campfire and exchange a piercing glance
Back when the west was really wild and cowboys didn't dance
Seven hundred head of cattle on an old forgotten trail
I held the world in my arms
I threw away the moon for the stars
Couldn't see the forest for the trees
Couldn't see the love in front of me
What would it take to take me back
Rebuild that bridge, retrace my tracks
I would give all I own, for one little stepping stone
What would it take to take me back
I miss waking up with you there
Morning sun bouncing off your hair
And you all tangled up in silk and lace
A masterpiece no one can paint
What would it take to take me back
Rebuild that bridge, retrace my tracks
I would give all I own, for one little stepping stone
What would it take to take me back
I was three years old sitting in the seat of a Greyhound bus
My brother and me, Mama's tears falling like a Carolina rain
Cause she pulled out a gun the night before
Said he ain't gonna drink and hit me no more
She pulled the trigger on my father in a moment's rain
Thank God that gun wasn't loaded
Didn't know where to go or how she'd survive
Didn't care, anywhere but there that night
Now she held her babies tight
And we rode through the cold of the midnight blue
She was scared, she was broke
But all she knew was she was gonna do
What she had to
She got her a job in a trailer out west
It wasn't much but she was doing her best
Putting food on the table for her family
But then one day I came home from school
My Mama was crying alone in her room
She said, I lost my job and we're gonna lose the trailer too
And she got that volkswagon loaded
Didn't know where to go or how she'd survive
Didn't care, anywhere but there that night
She held her babies tight
And we rode through the cold of the midnight blue
She was scared, she was broke
But all she knew was she was gonna do
What she had to
Whenever things go wrong in my life
I just think of her, what it took that night
To get on that bus in a Carolina rain
Didn't know where to go or how she'd survive
Didn't care, anywhere but there that night
She held her babies tight
(She held her babies tight)
And we rode through the cold of the midnight blue
She was scared, she was broke
But all she knew was she was gonna do
What she had to
What she had to (what she had to)
Yeah, yeah, ooooh, what she had to
The sign in the window said for sale or trade
On the last remaining dinosaur Detroit made
Seven hundred dollars was a heck of a deal
For a four hundred horsepower jukebox on wheels
And that road rolls out like a welcome mat
I don't know where it goes but it beats where we're at
We always said someday somehow
We were gonna get away gonna blow this town
What about now, how 'bout tonight
Baby for once let's don't think twice
Let's take that spin that never ends
That we've been talkin' about
What about now, why should we wait
We can chase these dreams down the interstate
And be long gone 'fore the world moves on and makes another round
What about now
We've been puttin' this off baby long enough
Just give me the word, and we'll be kickin' up dust
We both know it's just a matter of time
'Til our hearts start racin' for that county line
What about now, how 'bout tonight
Baby for once let's don't think twice
Let's take that spin that never ends
That we've been talkin' about
What about now, why should we wait
We can chase these dreams down the interstate
And be long gone 'fore the world moves on and makes another round
What about now
We could hang around this town forever making plans
But there won't ever be a better time to take this chance
What about now, how 'bout tonight
Baby for once let's don't think twice
Let's take that spin that never ends
That we've been talkin' about
What about now, why should we wait
We can chase these dreams down the interstate
And be long gone 'fore the world moves on and makes another round
What about now
Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
W.C. Handy won't you look down over me
Cause I got a first-class ticket
And I'm as blue as a boy can be
Walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel
Saw the ghost of Elvis
Down onn Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
And watched him walk right through
Now security they did not see him
They just hovered 'round his tomb
There's a pretty little thing
Waiting on "The King"
Down in the Jungle Room
Walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
Do I really feel the way I feel
They got catfish on the table
They got gospel in the air
And Reverend Green be glad to see you
When you haven't got a prayer
You've got a prayer in Memphis
Now Muriel plays the piano
Every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her
And they asked me if I would
Do a little number
And I sang with all my might
She said, "tell me are you a Christian
I said "Ma'am I am tonight"
Walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel
Oh walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel
Oh walking in Memphis
Ohhh ohhh ohhhh oooh
I got the news just yesterday
Called an old friend, asked him how you'd been
He said the wedding made the frontpage
You were smiling bright
You were dressed in white, angel white
Standing there with Mr Right
But I still believe that there's a destiny
That this winding road is leading me to
Someone I'm meant to find forever with
I can whisper all my sweet dreams to
I just always thought it was you
I'm still out here trying to find my dreams
In these smokey bars it's hard to see the stars
I always thought that I'd come back for you
Prove I was good enough to finally find some luck, a little luck
Yeah, and shut your daddy up
And I still believe there's a destiny
That this winding road is leading me to
Someone I'm meant to find forever with
Who would never tear my dreams in two
I just always thought it was you
Yeah
I still believe that there's a destiny
That this winding road is leading me to
Someone I'm meant to find forever with
Who would never tear my dreams in two
But I guess that I'll find someone new
I just always thought it was you
Yeah, oh, yeah
I called about that conversation that I had with you last night
It must have been a combination of shooters and neon lights
And I didn't really mean to say I've been losing it since you left
Yeah I may have said the words, but they came from somewhere else
It was just the tequila talkin'
When I told you I'm still not over you
I get a little sentimental when I've had one or two
And that tear in my eye was the salt and the lime
Not the memory of you walkin'
If I said I'm still in love with you
It was just the tequila talkin'
I don't know what they put in Cuervo that got me to say those things
Usually I wouldn't care so much or make such a scene
But seeing you there in that dress you were wearing just drove me right out of my head
So don't hold me responsible for anything I might've said
It was just the tequila talkin'
When I told you I'm still not over you
I get a little sentimental when I've had one or two
And that tear in my eye was the salt and the lime
Not the memory of you walkin'
If I said I'm still in love with you
It was just the tequila talkin'
If I said I'm still in love with you
I called about that conversation
That I had with you last night
It must have been a combination
Of shooters and neon lights
And I didn't really mean to say
I've been losing it since you left
Yeah, I may have said the words
But they came from somewhere else
It was just the tequila talking
When I told you I'm still not over you
I get a little sentimental
When I've had one or two
And that tear in my eye was the salt and the lime
Not the memory of you walking
If I said I'm still in love with you
It was just the tequila talking
I don't know what they put in cuervo

If I said I'm still in love with you
It was just the tequila talking
If I said I'm still in love with you
Monday was a bummer, Tuesday was another day
They could've left outta the week
Wednesday nearly got me, Thursday all but stopped me
I was broken down and beat
But I started feelin' strong when Friday finally came along
T.G.I.F., you know what that means
Get down to the beach A.S.A.P.
Yeah, there's gonna be a party goin' all weekend
Polynesian Polly and her parrothead friends
Gonna stay until there's not a pina colada left... T.G.I.F
Yeah, there's ain't no stoppin' once the band starts rockin'
With those shaker things and big steel drums
Don't worry half as much about the tide risin' up
As we do 'bout getting low on rum
So bury me in the sand, put a frozen drink in my hand
T.G.I.F., you know what that means
Get down to the beach A.S.A.P.
Yeah, there's gonna be a party goin' all weekend
Polynesian Polly and her parrothead friends
Gonna stay until there's not a pina colada left... T.G.I.F
T.G.I.F., you know what that means
Get down to the beach A.S.A.P.
Yeah, there's gonna be a party goin' all weekend
Five o'clock none stop the fun begins
T.G.I.F., you know what that means
Get down to the beach A.S.A.P.
Yeah, there's gonna be a party goin' all weekend
Polynesian Polly and her parrothead friends
Gonna stay until there's not a pina colada
Turn to the six o'clock news, another soldier dies
Tried to hide it but I couldn't help it, I had to cry
When my little boy asked me daddy was he your friend
I said no, I didn't even know him
But he was somebody's someone, a neighbour, a husband
A brother, a father, and a mother's only son
He was an uncle, a cousin, somebody's best friend
And I'm sure at times a shoulder to lean on
He was somebody's someone
So I sat there in that chair and helped him understand
How this brave young man gave his life for our land
And although he's someone we'll never know
To you and me he is a hero
He was somebody's someone, a neighbor, a husband
A brother, a father, and a mother's only son
He was an uncle, a cousin, somebody's best friend
And I'm sure at times a shoulder to lean on
He was somebody's someone
To the world he was a total stranger
Who kept us safe and out of danger
But now he's just a picture on TV
Somebody's memory
He was somebody's someone, a neighbour, a husband
A brother, a father, and a mother's only son
He was an uncle, a cousin, somebody's best friend
And I'm sure at times a shoulder to lean on
He was somebody's someone
Your heart's been broken, you don't wanna open up to me
But can't you see
All that you're needing is someone to believe in you
And when you are no longer afraid
Darlin' I'll be just one word away
Say when, I'll be there by your side
For a day, for a year, for the rest of my life
I know you're not ready
But someday your heart's gonna mend
I'll give you love without end
Say when
Could be tomorrow, maybe a little farther down the road
Your heart will know
My love is timeless and you're gonna find it's true
And no matter how long it takes
If it means holding you I can wait
Say when, I'll be there by your side
For a day, for a year, for the rest of my life
I know you're not ready
But someday your heart's gonna mend
I'll give you love without end
Say when
I know you're not ready
But someday your heart's gonna mend
I'll give you love without end

The shepherds are lit
A star in the sky
On the outskirts of town
A new baby cries
No room at the end
No crib to be found
Oh but look at him now
He is the reason for the season
He is the light that shines on our lives
The baby Jesus born in God's grace
So we all might rejoice on this day
He is the reason for the season
It is a time for presents and toys
Tales of Saint Nick
Tidings of joy
As we celebrate the miracle birth
Oh right here on this earth
He is the reason for the season
He is the light that shines on our lives
The baby Jesus born in God's grace
So we all might rejoice on this day
He is the reason for the season
He's the reason for the giving
The joy thats never ending
That comes on Christmas morning in the eyes of a child
It's what it means to me and you
That's the true meaning of this time
Oh this time
He is the
He is the reason for the season
He is the light that shines on our lives
The baby Jesus born in God's grace
So we all might rejoice on this day
He is the reason for the season
He is the light that shines on our lives
The baby Jesus born in God's grace
So we all might rejoice on this day
Christmas lights up the city
Roof tops covered in snow
Lovers sharing a sleigh ride cuddled close
And their eyes seem to glow
Window shopping on main street
Bundled up head to toe
Children are skating around a Christmas tree
I see smiles young and old
If everyday could be Christmas
What a wonderful world it would be
We could carry this feeling within us
All through the year
If everyday could be Christmas
Chruch bells ring in the distance
Peace on earth fills the air
Sidewalk Santas handing out candy canes
I feel love everywhere
If everyday could be Christmas
What a wonderful world it would be
We could carry this feeling within us
All through the year
If everyday could be Christmas
Oh it's that time
We open and give from our hearts
Let love shine brighter than any star
Oh if everyday could be Christmas
What a wonderful world it would be
We could carry this feeling within us
All through the year
Oh if everyday could be Christmas
If everyday could be Christmas
Yeah if everyday could be Christmas
See the moon and the stars, how they sparkle and shine
Baby, all around us now
Headlights on the cars, bright neon signs
They illuminate this town
And I see your face, look in your eyes
Before I realize
Out go the lights, beat goes the heart
Rush goes the blood, burning me up, taking me too far
Baby, when you look at me, the only thing that I can see
Is the two of us makin' love alone in the dark of the night
Out, out, out, out go the lights
The world is turnin' around but the night is still young
Girl, I want to take it slow
Let a candle burn down, till our bodies are one
Breathless in the afterglow
The way you look, the way this feels
I just can't wait until
Out go the lights, beat goes the heart
Rush goes the blood, burning me up, taking me too far
Baby, when you look at me, the only thing that I can see
Is the two of us makin' love alone in the dark of the night
Out, out, out, out go the lights, yeah
The way you look, the way this feels
I just can't wait until
Out go the lights, beat goes the heart
Rush goes the blood, burning me up, taking me too far, yeah
Baby, when you look at me, the only thing that I can see
Is the two of us makin' love alone in the dark of the night
Out, out, out, out go the lights, yeah
Got a picture of you I carry in my heart
Close my eyes to see it when the world gets dark
Got a memory of you I carry in my soul
I wrap it close around me when the nights get cold
If you asked me how I'm doin' I'd say just fine
But the truth is baby, if you could read my mind
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you
After all this time you're still with me it's true
Somehow you remain locked so deep inside
Baby, baby, oh baby, not a day goes by
I still wait for the phone in the middle of the night
Thinkin' you might call me if your dreams don't turn out right
And it still amazes me that I lie here in the dark
Wishin' you were next to me, with your head against my heart
If you asked me how I'm doing I'd say just fine
But the truth is baby, if you could read my mind
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you
After all this time you're still with me it's true
Somehow you remain locked so deep inside
Baby, baby, oh baby, not a day goes by
Minutes turn to hours, and the hours to days
Seems it's been forever that I've felt this way
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you
After all this time you're still with me it's true
Somehow you remain locked so deep inside
I heard from a friend who's seen you again
Out on a date at night
Romancin', slow dancin'
Holdin' on so tight
When they asked you about me
All you could say
He's nobody, he's nobody
Well nobody loves you
And nobody cares
And nobody wakes up when your not there
And no one can miss you the way that I do
Oh nobody, oh nobody still loves you
Out of sight, out of mind
You didn't waste anytime
Making me part of your past
And there's no stopping
You've forgotten this love I thought would last
I guess I was blind 'cause I can't see
How you could say,
I'm nobody, I'm nobody
Well nobody loves you
And nobody cares
And nobody wakes up when your not there
And no one can miss you the way that I do
Oh nobody, oh nobody still loves you
Well no one could miss you the way that I do
Oh nobody, oh nobody
Well nobody loves you
And nobody cares
Nobody loves you when your not there
(Nobody loves you)
Nobody loves you and nobody cares
(Nobody cares)
Nobody loves you when your not there
She said "It's just a woman thing" and pulled out of the drive
I said not to worry I'm an understanding guy
I've heard that when you love someone you gotta let 'em go
She hollered "When I find myself you'll be the first to know"
Ooh no news
I learned to do the laundry, feed the cat, and clean the house
I promised to be patient while she worked her problems out
When she packed her bags, her destination wasn't clear
But I sensed that her intentions were honest and sincere
Ooh no news
She could telephone, tell a friend, tell a lie about where she's been
Send a pigeon, send a fax, write it on a post-it pad
Send a signal up in smoke, tap it out in Morse Code
I'd prefer a bad excuse to no news
Her mama's been a little vague as to her whereabouts
Her sister says "I'm certain your romance is headed south"
I don't have a single doubt that she's still in love
My level of anxiety is just a product of
Ooh no news
She could telephone, tell a friend, tell a lie about where she's been
Send a pigeon, send a fax, write it on a post-it pad
Send a signal up in smoke, tap it out in Morse Code
I'd prefer a bad excuse
She missed her bus, missed her plane, surely this can be explained
Lost her car at the mall, got locked in a bathroom stall
Joined the cult, joined the klan, on the road with Pearl Jam
Buried with The Grateful Dead, came back as a Parrot Head
Got derailed, got de-iced, offered as a sacrifice
FBI, CIA, if they've seen her they ain't saying
No news
Lost my job, came home mad
Got a hug and kiss and that's too bad
She said "I can go to work until you find another job"
I thought, I like the sound of that
Watch TV and take long naps
Go from a hard working dad to being Mr. Mom
Well!
Pampers melt in a maytag dryer
Crayons go up one drawer higher
Rewind Barney for the fifteenth time
Breakfast six, naps at nine
There's bubble gum in the baby's hair
Sweet potatoes in my lazy chair
Been crazy all day long and it's only Monday, Mr. Mom
Football, soccer and ballet
Squeeze in scouts and P.T.A
And there's that shopping list she left
That's seven pages long
How much smoke can one stove make
The kids won't eat my charcoal cake
It's more than any man can take being Mr. Mom
Well!
Pampers melt in a maytag dryer
Crayons go up one drawer higher
Rewind Barney for the sixteenth time
Breakfast six, naps at nine
There's bubble gum in the baby's hair
Sweet potatoes in my lazy chair
Been crazy all day long and it's only Monday, Mr. Mom
Before I fall in bed tonight
If the dog didn't eat the classified
I'm gonna look just one more time
'Cause
Pampers melt in a maytag dryer
Crayons go up one drawer higher
Rewind Barney for the eighteenth time
Breakfast six, naps at nine
There's bubble gum in the baby's hair
Sweet potatoes in my lazy chair
Been crazy all day long
Oh been crazy all day long and it's only Monday, Mr. Mom
Oh Mr. Mom
Balancin' checkbooks, juggling bills
Thought there was nothing to it
Baby, now I know how you feel
What I don't know is how you do it
Lucinda Jones, working at IHOP
Ten years worth of bacon, eggs and tears
She's waited on every creed and color
While waiting on this day to get here
Graveyard shifts, two big tips
Making every quarter count
Was worth it all to see her son
In that cap and gown
There are times in life when you gotta crawl
Lose your grip, trip and fall
When you can't lean on no-one else
That's when you find yourself
I've been around and I've noticed that
Walking's easier when the road is flat
Them danged ole hiils'll get you every time
Yeah, the good Lord gave us mountains
So we could learn how to climb
Bobby, Bobby Dunn came back from the war
Lost his leg but they couldn't take his will
Hell bent to run in that local marathon
He trained through the endless pain and pills
It hurt so bad that sometimes he just had to cry
He didn't stop until he crossed that finish line
There are times in life when you gotta crawl
Lose your grip, trip and fall
When you can't lean on no-one else
That's when you find yourself
I've been around and I've noticed that
Walkin's easier when the road is flat
Them danged ole hiils'll get you every time
Yeah, the good Lord gave us mountains
So we could learn how to climb
This world ain't fair
It can knock you on your butt
You can just lie there
Or you can get back up
You gotta get back up
There are times in life when you gotta crawl
Lose your grip, trip and fall
When you can't lean on no-one else
That's when you find yourself
I've been around and I've noticed that
Walkin's easier when the road is flat
Them danged ol' hiils'll get you every time
Yeah, the good Lord gave us mountains
(The good Lord gave us mountains)
So we could learn how to climb
Come they told me
Pa rum pum pum pum
Our new born King to see,
Pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring
Pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King
Pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum
So to honor Him
Pa rum pum pum pum,
When we come.
Little Baby
Pa rum pum pum pum
I am a poor boy too,
Pa rum pum pum pum
I have no gift to bring
Pa rum pum pum pum
That's fit to give our King
Pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum
Shall I play for you
Pa rum pum pum
On my drum.
Mary nodded
Pa rum pum pum pum
The ox and lamb kept time
Pa rum pum pum pum
I played my drum for Him
Pa rum pum pum
I played my best for Him
Pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum
Then He smiled at me
Pa rum pum pum pum
Me and my drum.
Me and my drum.
Me and my drum.
Oh me and my drum.
Joy to the world
Me and my drum.
Me and my drum.
Me and my drum.
Walking down the street in L.A.
Caught in the middle of a heat wave
Pass by the star of John Wayne
And I think to myself how times change
Now where the cattle once roamed
There's a Burger King and a peep show
We do everything from our cell phones
Ridin' in out steel broncos
Oh it's Dow Jones, hi, low, price of corn in Tokyo
Wild west neighborhood
It's quick draw credit cards, the world turns but in my heart
I'm ridin' down the range like a good, good, good, good cowboy
I do what I say and say what I mean
Try to get a grip on the American dream
Sunrise to Sunset Strip I'll be
Workin' to the bone just to try to have a voice
When Friday night comes I'm gonna turn up the noise
Like a good, good, good cowboy
Dollar don't go far these days
The new frontier is a freeway
5PM is a rat race
Even Eastwood moved to Monterey
Lean Cuisines, microwaves, silicone and cellophane
Aliens in Hollywood
Bright lights, big city, concrete nitty gritty
But I'm ridin' the range like a good, good, good, good cowboy
I do what I say and say what I mean
Try to get a grip on the American dream
Sunrise to Sunset Strip I'll be
Workin' to the bone just to try to have a voice
When Friday night comes I'm gonna turn up the noise
I can remember when you fit in the palm of my hand
Felt so good in it, no bigger than a minute
How it amazes me, you're changing with every blink
Faster than a flower blooms they grow up all too soon
So let them be little 'cause they're only that way for a while
Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day
Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle
Oh just let them be little
I've never felt so much in one little tender touch
I live for those kisses, prayers and your wishes
Now that you're teaching me things only a child can see
Every night while we're on our knees all I ask is please
Let them be little 'cause they're only that way for a while
Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day
Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle
Oh just let them be little
So innocent, a precious soul, you turn around
It's time to let them go
So let them be little 'cause they're only that way for a while
Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day
Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle
Oh just let them be little
I don't want to break this moment
I don't want to twist our fate
I don't want to simplify or complicate
I don't want to go down easy
Something about you makes me high
A little angel tells me don't let this one by
Don't be shy, testify
Let me love you from this moment
Let me dance a dream that far
Let me fall let me rise
Let me dance in your eyes
And show you who you are
Let me wrap myself around your secrets
Till the stars burn into blue
Let me kiss let me touch
Close your eyes and just
Let me love you
Girl, I want to be the reason
I want to be you alibi
I want to be the one
That holds you when you cry
I want to see the place inside you
Where no one else has ever been
I want to know all your fears
And all your sins
So let me in.
Let me love you from this moment
Let me dance a dream that far
Let me fall let me rise
Let me dance in your eyes
And show you who you are
Let me wrap myself around your secrets
Till the stars burn into blue
Let me kiss let me touch
Close your eyes and just
Let me love you
Girl let me love you
Let me love you from this moment
Let me dance a dream that far
Let me fall let me rise
Let me dance in your eyes
And show you who you are
Let me wrap myself around your secrets
Till the stars burn into blue
Let me kiss let me touch
Close your eyes and just
Let me love you
You've been trying to find your true love
On the verge of giving up
Tired of your heart breaking
You've almost had enough
It's not supposed to be that hard
Maybe love is closer than you think
You could keep on looking for the rest of your life
I'll be what you're looking for
I'll give you something more
Take you to a place you never been, never been
Show you something true that's what you deserve
Whatever I have to do, I wanna do it for you
Yeah
Remember I'm the one to get you on your feet
Ain't it funny how you turned to me
When you're feeling incomplete
I always helped you take a breath
Now I just wanna take your breath away
I've heard you saying that you need someone like me
Baby, open up that door
I'll give you something more
Take you to a place you never been, never been
Show you something true that's what you deserve
Whatever I have to do, I wanna do it for you
Yeah
I won't hold nothing back, baby, nothing at all
Catch you with loving arms if you're ready to fall
I'll give you something more
Take you to a place you never been, never been
Show you something true that's what you deserve
Whatever I have to do, I wanna do it for you
I wanna do it for you
I won't hold nothing back, I wanna do it for you
Listen, baby, I'll give you everything
I wanna do it for you
Funny you should show up after all of these years
Yeah things sure have changed around here
Seen a lot of strangers since they put that interstate through
No this ain't the same town that we once knew
They put up a plant where we used to park
That ol' drive-in's a new Wal-Mart
The caf¨¦ is closed where our names were carved on that corner booth
Yeah, everything's changed except for the way I feel about you
That westbound to Santa Fe don't stop here anymore
You were one of the last to get on board
That street that we grew up on you wouldn't recognize
Girl nothing's been the same since you said good-bye
They put up a plant where we used to park
That ol' drive-in's a new Wal-Mart
The caf¨¦ is closed where our names were carved on that corner booth
Yeah, everything's changed except for the way I feel about you
They put up a plant where we used to park
That ol' drive-in's a new Wal-Mart
The caf¨¦ is closed where our names were carved on that corner booth
Everything's changed except for the way I feel about you
Funny you should show up after all of these years

Don't let's talk about Lisa
Don't let's even start
Let's leave Lisa out of this one
Lisa broke my heart
Gwendolyn was splendid, but her tendency to spending
Spun a little out of control
Two nights on the town and
My poor bank account was crawling around on the floor
And pretty young Alicia, she could take a piece of your heart
And lead you to the light
Lucy, Melinda, Loretta and Lucinda
We could go on all night but
Don't let's talk about Lisa
Don't let's even start
Let's leave Lisa out of this one
Lisa broke my heart
Priscilla was a killer, meaner than Godzilla
But oh what a pretty girl and
Dawn in the dawn with her pom-poms on
She could twirl like a tilt-a-whirl
There's wonderful women all over the world
I've said it again and again
But she whose name must not be spoken
Has it all over all of them so
Don't let's talk about Lisa
Don't let's even start
Let's leave Lisa out of this one
Lisa broke my heart
You can talk about the weather
Cotton or leather
And do you think the Beatles shoulda really gotten back together
Talk about the truth
Mantle or Ruth
Fabio, DiMaggio or John Wilkes Boothe
Don't let's talk about Lisa
Don't let's even start no, no
Don't let's talk about Lisa please sir
Lisa broke my heart
Oh Lisa she's off limits man
Lisa broke my heart
Lisa Lisa Lisa broke my heart
You can talk about Hanson, Marilyn Manson
And do you think they'll ever have a show down in Branson
Talk about desire, Sosa or McGwire
And is we in the fryin' pan or is we in the fire
Talk about what's real and what you really feel
And how's about those mini skirts on Ally McBeal
Talk about the X-Files, Macaroons and mistrails
From the moment I walked in the room
I knew what I was in for
Soft music, the smell of perfume
And that lacy little thing you wore
And by the way you're lookin' at me
It's lookin' like it's gonna be one of those
Crazy nights
One of those going out of our mind times
You always make it worth the wait
Baby, I've been going crazy all day
For one of those crazy nights
The moon is makin' shadows on the wall
Something in the air is calling
There's no need to say anything at all
Our hearts are doing all the talkin'
You make me feel so wild and free
I think I'd lose my sanity without those
Crazy nights
One of those going out of our mind times
You always make it worth the wait
Baby, I've been going crazy all day
For one of those crazy nights
One of those crazy nights
One of those going out of our mind times
You always make it worth the wait
Baby, I've been going crazy all day
For one of those crazy nights
One of those crazy nights
Twenty bucks buys ten coupons
Two ears of corn and one ride on
The tilt-a-whirl with your favorite girl
Keep on walking down the midway
Three-eyed goats and games to play
Step right up, Carney says try your luck
You can tell the sweet smell of summer in the air
Whole town shuts down, everybody's gonna be there
Down at the county fair
Big time, big top, big crowds, big hair
There's nothing bigger all around
The country anywhere
Than the county fair
Judging pigs and judging pies
Fighting for the first place prize
And have you seen this year's queen
4-H Club and FFA working toward a better day
And a petting zoo, yeah, they got that too
And eight o'clock rolls around, everybody knows
The grandstands open up and it's time for the big show
Down at the county fair
Big time, big top, big crowds, big hair
There's nothing bigger all around
This country anywhere
Than the county fair
Down at the county fair
Big time, big top, big crowds, big hair
There's nothing bigger
All around this country anywhere
Than the county fair
Down at the county fair
Big time, big top, big crowds, big hair
There's nothing bigger
In small towns everywhere
Than the county fair
County fair
Capita che tutto non basta
Perdere tutto ci
Lonestar is fading into the shadows
Standing there waiting for something to say
But she's so impatient she might not see him
The chance of a lifetime could be slipping away
(chorus)
Standing alone, he wears his freedom
He's seen it before, the sun going down in her eyes
His heart is his own, a lonely companion
As true as the wind and the deep purple sky
Now lonestar is grieving, but she doesn't notice
She's laughing and dancing with some Romeo
But out of the bright lights there's one lonely cowboy
With nothing to hold him, and nowhere to go
(instrumental solo)
(repeat chorus)
Now lonestar is fading into the shadows
