Kindergarden five years old,
You and me and mother goose,
Learning lines to nursery rhymes,
That's when I fell in love with you,
Back when it was
Chorus
One, two, buckle my shoe,
Three, four, shut the door,
Five, six, pick up sticks,
Even then my heart was yours.
College days miles apart,
So afraid you'd forget,
Writing letters everyday,
And ending everyone like this
Chorus
One, two, I miss you,
Three, four, I walk the floor,
Five, six, come back quick,
I don't want to miss you no more.
A little girl a little boy,
Playin' on a swing in the yard,
As we watch I hold your hand,
And you're still holding onto my heart, and now it's
One, two, I love you,
Three, four, let's have one more,
Five, six, I wouldn't miss,
A day of this for all the treasure on the ocean floor,
One, two, I love you,
Three, four, let's shut the door,
Five, six, kiss after kiss,
I can't wait to hold you once more.
Everything I touch turns to ashes
So I wouldn?t dare lay a hand on you
I?ve never had much luck with passion
But I can tell you?re wantin? me too
Every time you look my way I shiver
I?m havin? a hard time keepin? my cool
I see the message your eyes deliver
Or is it just the smoke in the room
I feel the heat
It?s gettin? harder and harder to breathe
I feel the sweat
Rollin? down the nape of my neck
You?re burnin? me up
Just look at this ragin? fire you started
Don?t stop now
Baby, you?re cold hearted
Well I?ve always been a little bit reckless
Oh and now here I am playin? with fire
With every sweet kiss from your red lips
You make my temperature rise
I feel the heat
It?s gettin? harder and harder to breathe
I feel the sweat
Rollin? down the nape of my neck
You?re burnin? me up
Just look at this ragin? fire you started
Don?t stop now
Baby, that?s cold hearted
I feel the heat
It?s gettin? harder and harder to breathe
I feel the sweat
Rollin? down the nape of my neck
Oh, you?re burnin? me up
Oh, look at this ragin? fire you started
Don?t stop now
Once again heç£â€' left you here crying
It hurts me to see him hurt you this way
Once again here I am trying
To make the tears desappear from your face
For your sake
Chorus:
Let me take that heartache off your hands
Youç£â€ºe stood more than one heart can stand
Donç£Ëœ give up on love ç£Ëœil you give me a chance
Let me take that heartache off your hands
These shoulders were made for you to cry on
If you need them theyç£â€“e yours any time
These arms are yours to try on
Iç£ï¢œl make sure they fit you just right
Theyç£ï¢œl hold you tight
(Chorus)
(Clay Walker/Kim Williams/Randy Boudreaux)
See that cowboy at the bar
The one at the end with all the scars
He got stomped by the meanest bronc in Santa Fe
But if he looks a little down and out
It ain't that bronc he's thinking about
It's that girl that broke his heart along the way
When a cowboy falls he falls hard
Sometimes he falls way too far
But you can bet that when he hits the ground
He'll get back up and play the part
Even with a broken heart
He'll hold the reins and hide the pain inside
Love's always a cowboy's toughest ride
Girl, just listen to me now
I should know what I'm talking about
Everything I learned I learned from you
I have rode broncs from hell
And it hurt me every time I fell
But not half as much pain as you put me through
When a cowboy falls he falls hard
Sometimes he falls way too far
But you can bet that when he hits the ground
He'll get back up and play the part
Even with a broken heart
He'll hold the reins and hide the pain inside
Love's always a cowboy's toughest ride
I never thought it would hurt me so bad,
seeing you look so good
you're moving on and you're not looking back,
just like I hoped I would
how did you just stop loving someone
and turn what we had into nothing
I wish I could
you make it look so easy,
the way that you got over me
you act as if you leaving
was natural as the air you breath
and you're so together
while im falling apart
you make it look so easy
and that's what makes it so hard!
i've seen you out in the places we went,
dancing with someone new
it didn't take long to start living again,
after our life was through
how did you let go of the good times
with the wave of your hand and a good bye
I wish I knew
you make it look so easy
the way that you got over me
you act as if you leaving
was natural as the air breathing
and you're so together while im falling apart
you make it look so easy
and thats what makes it so hard.
you make it look so easy
Deep as the ocean and right as rain
This powerful emotion lifts me up above the plain
Taking me to places I never thought I'd go
Showing me a grace I never thought I'd know
When I feel like I can't go on
You deliver me
And when the road is winding
And way too long
You deliver me, you deliver me
I feel like a sinner whose sins have been washed clean
An absolute beginner whose heart has never seen
I must be forgiven for sometimes asking why
I was chosen to be given you in this life
When I feel like I can't go on
You deliver me
And when the road is winding
And way too long
You deliver me, you deliver me
When there's a distance
Between what I am
And who I wanna be
You deliver me
When I feel like I can't go on
You deliver me
And when the road is winding
And way too long
You deliver me
When I feel like I can't go on
You deliver me
And when the road is winding
And way too long
You deliver me, you deliver me
Oh, you deliver me
And when the road is winding
And way too long
What's that?
I hear angels singing
Telling me to make my move
Listen to it
Their voices ringin' baby
If you feel it get in the groove
(chorus)
Love is a rhythm of two hearts beating
Pounding out a message steady and true
Talk to me baby tell me what you're feelin'
I know what love is
What's it to you?
Time's up
Train's a leavin' baby
Are you ready to take that ride
Get on board
Don't keep me waiting baby
Say you're willin' to cross that line
(chorus)
I'm sure your heart is telling you true
I gotta know what love is to you
'Cause to me it is a rhythm
Of two hearts beating
Pounding out a message steady and true
Talk to me baby
Tell me what you're feeling
I know what love is
What's it to you?
(chorus)
I know what love is
(Keith Follese/Michael Woody)
You bought my love with a lot of sweet nothin's
Promises and lies
Had all I want of your kind of lovin'
It's time to say goodbye
After all you've given me
Don't look so surprised
What do you want for nothin' baby
A solid gold guarentee
That you get everything you need
But there is no love in it for me
You wanna deal on the way I feel
But I'm not buying that
What do you want for nothin' baby
Your money back
What do you want for nothin' baby
Your money back
I hate to spoil the party baby
But I've got to be on my way
All I wanted was your love
But it was more than you would pay
Now you want a second chance
To give me more of the same
What do you want for nothin' baby
A solid gold guarentee
That you get everything you need
But there is no love in it for me
You wanna deal on the way I feel
But I'm not buying that
What do you want for nothin' baby
Your money back
What do you want for nothin' baby
Your money back
What do you want for nothin' baby
A solid gold guarentee
That you get everything you need
But there is no love in it for me
You wanna deal on the way I feel
But I'm not buying that
What do you want for nothin' baby
Your money back
What do you want for nothin' baby
Your money back
What do you want for nothin' baby
Your money back
What do you want for nothin' baby
Your money back

She likes it in the morning
When I run my fingers through her hair
And she smiles when I call her darling
She looks like a angel laying there
And she wants me in the evening
To listen close to how she feels
She needs to know I need her
And heaven knows I always will
Chorus:
'Cause she loves me every single day and night.
And she says we are everything that is good in her life.
She says she loves me more than anything on earth,
And thats almost as much as I love her.
She likes to lay down on me,
And rest her head on my chest.
And soflty whisper to me
What she wont share with anyone else.
And theres a sweetness in her laughter,
When its just the two of us.
And I try so hard to capture
Every little thing she does.
'Cause she loves me every single day and night.
And she says we are everything that is good in her life.
She says she loves me more than anything on earth,
And thats almost as much as I love her.
And she says she loves me
More than anything on earth.
And thats almost,
Almost as much
As I love her.
She likes it in the morning...
Skippin' rocks, skippin' rope
Laughin' at all my best friends jokes
Things I loved when I was a kid
Muddy roads, muddy feet
I didn't live on no blacktop street
Things have changed a lot but I never did
And I don't wanna think about tomorrow
I don't need anything money can buy
I don't have to beg, steal or borrow
I just wanna live until I die
Livin' right, livin' in this
Little old town I grew up in
But I still held on to my dreams
Standin' proud, standin' tall
Standin' smack dab in the middle of it all
I don't worry about things that I can't change
And I don't wanna think about tomorrow
I don't need anything money can buy
I don't have to beg, steal or borrow
I just wanna live until I die
And everything around me
Are things I dearly love
And every night I get on my knees
And thank the Lord above
And I don't have to think about tomorrow
I don't need anything money can buy
I don't have to beg, steal or borrow
I just wanna live until I die
I don't have to beg, steal or borrow
Once again he´s left you here crying
It hurts me to see him hurt you this way
Once again here I am trying
To make the tears desappear from your face
For your sake
Chorus:
Let me take that heartache off your hands
You´ve stood more than one heart can stand
Don´t give up on love ´til you give me a chance
Let me take that heartache off your hands
These shoulders were made for you to cry on
If you need them they´re yours any time
These arms are yours to try on
I´ll make sure they fit you just right
They´ll hold you tight
(chorus)
Driving home from work just yesterday
impatiently waiting for the light to change
I noticed a homeless mom and her two kids
She reached out and lifted up a trash can lid
Her face lit up when she looked inside
And pulled out a broken armless doll
knelt down and gave it to her smallest Child
And God you should have seen her smile
Chorus
It ain't pretty, but it's beautiful
Life ain't perfect, but it's wonderful
We're all broken, but we're loveable
It ain't pretty, but it's beautiful
Got home and told my wife bout what I'd seen
She grabbed her purse, took me by the hand and said come with me
We drove around until we found the three of them
I wondered who was blessing who when they got in
We bought them food and clothes and drove them to a toy store
And the little girl said 'I don't need a brand new doll'
as she hugged the broken armless one they found before
she said 'this one needs me more'
Chorus
She ain't pretty, but she's beautiful
She ain't perfect, but she's wonderful
She might be broken, but she's loveable
She ain't pretty, but She's beautiful
Last night my wife and I talked till the sun came up
About how we fuss and fight sometimes,
Say ugly things act so unkind
But we think God we always find our way back to love
It ain't pretty, but it's beautiful
Our love ain't perfect, but it's wonderful
We're still learning to be loveable
It ain't pretty, but it's beautiful
We're all learning to be loveable
Ain't always pretty, but it's beautiful
I remember when it all began
You couldn't keep your body from my hands
I remember nights we felt so close
How we got so distant, I don't know
So as you plan, your brand new life
Keep this one thing in mind
If you ever feel, like lovin' me again
The door's wide open, baby walk right in
I'll be waitin', 'til the end of time
Heart and mind, now just like back then
If you ever feel like needin' someone
Who will love you like I've always done
Girl, I'll show you some things never end
If you ever feel like lovin' me again
People change and baby so do dreams
They move along to where the grass is green
So I won't hold you down to what we had
Last thing I wanna do is make you sad
But if things don't fly your way
Girl, it's never too late
If you ever feel like lovin' me again
The door's wide open baby walk right in
I'll be waitin' 'til the end of time
Heart and mind now just like back then
If you ever feel like needin' someone
Who will love you like I've always done
Girl, I'll show you some things never end
If you ever feel like lovin' me again
If you ever feel like needin' someone
Who will love you like I've always done
Girl, I'll show you some things never end
If I could make a living out of lovin' you
I'd be a millionaire in a week or two
I'd be doin' what I love and lovin' what I do
If I could make a living out of lovin' you
Early every mornin' when the sun comes up
I'm punchin' that clock on the wall
Breakin' my back just to make a buck
Wishin' I was in your arms
If I could make a living out of lovin' you
I'd be a millionaire in a week or two
I'd be doin' what I love and lovin' what I do
If I could make a living out of lovin' you
I could work all day and feel right at home
Lovin' that eight to five
Never have to leave you here alone
When I'm workin' overtime
If I could make a living out of lovin' you
I'd be a millionaire in a week or two
I'd be doin' what I love and lovin' what I do
If I could make a living out of lovin' you
If I could make a living out of lovin' you
I'd be a millionaire in a week or two
I'd be doin' what I love and lovin' what I do
If I could make a living out of lovin' you
If I could make a living out of lovin' you
I'd be a millionaire in a week or two
I'd be doin' what I love and lovin' what I do
My boss told me again just today
To get my mind on my job
That's so easy for him to say
He's never held you in his arms
And my mind's wherever you are
If a man ain't thinkin' 'bout his woman
If a man ain't thinkin' 'bout love
If a man ain't thinkin' 'bout his woman
Then what's he thinkin' of
Some folks think that I'm lost in space
But I've got my own point of view
If they could see what's goin' on in my head
They'd know why my mind is on you
I'm just doing what my heart tells me to
If a man ain't thinkin' 'bout his woman
If a man ain't thinkin' 'bout love
If a man ain't thinkin' 'bout his woman
Then what's he thinkin' of
I've got a one track mind it's true
My train of thought never leaves you
If a man ain't thinkin' 'bout his woman
If a man ain't thinkin' 'bout love
If a man ain't thinkin' 'bout his woman
What's he thinkin' of
If a man ain't thinkin' 'bout his woman
If a man ain't thinkin' 'bout love
If a man ain't thinkin' 'bout his woman
What's he thinkin' of
(Mark D. Sanders/Tim Nichols)
Was I nervous the night I first met you
Was it love at first sight
Did I know you were the girl I'd marry
I'd say that's right
When your daddy said, "Son do you love her
With all your might"
I looked him in the eye and said, "Yes sir
I'd say that's right
I'd say that's right on the money
Sure as a summer in Florida's sunny
I'd say that's right as the rain on a tin roof Texas night
I'd say that's right down the middle
Ain't no doubt not even a little
Will I love you for the rest of my life I'd say that's right
If I woke up tomorrow up in heaven
Saint Peter looked me in the eye
And said, "Mister would you rather be with her"
I'd say that's right
I'd say that's right on the money
Sure as a summer in Florida's sunny
I'd say that's right as the rain on a tin roof Texas night
I'd say that's right down the middle
Ain't no doubt not even a little
Will I love you for the rest of my life I'd say that's right
It's the third hardest thing I'll ever do
Leaving here without you
And the second hardest thing I'll ever do
Is telling her about you
She's been good to me
When things were going rough
How can I tell her now
That good ain't good enough
The hardest thing I'll ever have to do
Is holding her and loving you
If she'd give me one good reason I'd be gone
But she ain't done one thing wrong
So don't expect me just to walk out of the door
I still love her but I love you more
She's been good to me
When things weren't going right
She made my days
Long before you made my nights
The hardest thing I'll ever have to do
Is holding her and loving you
Yeah, the hardest thing I'll ever have to do
Is holding her, loving you
Girl, the hardest thing I'll ever have to do
Got a long list of things to do
It begins and ends with gettin' over you
I can't quit 'til I'm through
I get up with the sun and go down with the moon
Chorus:
Pain and tears
Can't be all there is
Is it any wonder I'm feeling six feet under
Baby you're nothing but too much trouble
Gotta bury this love and bury the shovel
Gonna dig me a hole and make it deep
Gonna lay down what's left of us
And then put this thing to sleep
Let my soul rest in peace
Gotta nail down the lid
On these stone cold memories
'Cause
Chorus
I'm gonna hold on tight to what I've got
And not worry 'bout what I've missed
Someday I'm gonna leave this world
Knowing that I've been blessed
Even if it never gets better than this
How in this world can we put a man on the moon
And still have a need for a place like St. Jude's
And why is one man born in a place where all they know is war
And a guy like me has always been free
And how can two people who've built a loving home
Try for years and never have a child of their own
And somewhere out there tonight there's a baby no one's holding tight
In need of love, to me that don't add up
But I wasn't there the day you filled up the oceans
I didnt' get to see you hang the stars in the sky
So I don't mean to second guess you or criticize what I don't understand
These are just a few questions I have
And why did my cousin have to die in that crash
A good kid only 17, I still wonder about that
It seems unfair to me some get the chance to chase their dreams
And some don't, but what do I know?
I wasn't there the day you filled up the oceans
I didnt' get to see you hang the stars in the sky
So I don't mean to second guess you or criticize what I don't understand
These are just a few questions I have
Why do I feel like you're hearing these prayers of mine
When so many outta be ahead of me in line
When you look down on me, can you see the good through all the bad
(Tony Arata)
I spent half my life on bended knee
Begging somebody to change
And the other half prayin磘o God
That they never would
And all it got me was twice as lost
When it all turned out the same
But all that beggin?finally did somebody good
I used to dream all night
Of a day that was gone
But come the morning light
Forever from now on
Gonna do my dreaming with my eyes wide open
Iç£l do my looking back
With my eyes closed
We can do some living
Or spend our whole life hopin?
In the end we磖e left with
The one we chose
So Iç£l do my dreaming with my eyes wide open
Every time the world moved on
I fell a little further behind
From running back or following someone home
Until I learned that one step forward
Will take you further on
Than a thousand back or a million that ain磘
Your own
I used to dream all night
Of a day that was gone
But come the morning light
Forever from now on
Gonna do my dreaming with my eyes wide open
Iç£l do my looking back
With my eyes closed
We can do some living
Or spend our whole life hopin?
In the end we磖e left with
The one we chose
So Iç£l do my dreaming with my eyes wide open
We can do some living
Or spend our whole life hopin?
In the end we磖e left with
The one we chose
So Iç£l do my dreaming with my eyes wide open
Met a little senorita named Margarita down in Mexico
She taught me more about love, in a day or two than I'll ever know
I had to go back across the Rio Grande
And leave that little girl behind
I can't believe how heavy she's laying on my mind
Oh tonight I need a Margarita and I need it bad
I'm hoping that the tequila is gonna take me back
Give me the salt and the lime
So I can taste her and hold her one last time
Oh tonight I need a Margarita and I need her bad
Those eyes and that smile, they drove me wild, I just couldn't resist
I couldn't get enough from our first touch to our last kiss
I never understood a single word, she said, oh, but she left no doubt
When she spoke to me in the language of love
She turned my world inside out
Oh tonight I need a Margarita and I need it bad
I'm hoping that the tequila is gonna take me back
Oh, give me the salt and the lime
So I can taste her and hold her one last time
Oh tonight I need a Margarita and I need her bad
Tryin` so hard just to talk to you
Haven`t heard half of what you want me to
Hurt so bad over where we`ve been
Don`t know how not to go back there again
I know what I wanna say
Can I get it through to you now
In some other way.....like
Chorus:
There was this woman and there was this man
There was this moment they had a chance to hold on to what they had
How could they be so in love and still never see
Now nothin` could be sadder than
This woman and this man
A stranger`s eyes in a lover`s face
See no signs of a better time and place
Have we lost the key to an open door
I feel the need to reach out to you even more
It`s a circle we`re goin` `round
If we don`t get us out from under
It`s gonna take us down....see
(Chorus)
For all we`ve got to lose there`s so much to gain
If we come this far and leave it behind
There`s only you and me to blame
(Chorus)
We can bring it back again

I gas up my truck and I drive into town
But I spend all my time just ridin' around
Tryin' to shake this negative mood I'm in
I know where to go if I want to get down
All the usual suspects are hangin' around
But after a round or two, it's just another dead end
For a minute or two, I'll get you off my mind
But you keep comin' back to me every time
Where do I go to get over the fact
That you got on a plane and you ain't comin' back
I said what I said and you did what you had to do
Where does a man have to go to get over the truth
Where do I go from you
I bury myself in my job all day
Just tryin' to get lost in the usual ways
Smilin' and laughin' and jokin' around with the guys
Gotta do something to deaden the pain
So I stare at the window just watchin' the rain
But all I can see in the haze is the grey of your eyes
So what do I do with all the pieces of you in me
If you're never comin' back, set me free
Where do I go to get over the fact
That you got on plane, and you ain't comin' back
I said what I said, and you did what you had to do
Where does a man have to go to get over the truth
Where do I go from you
Where do I go from you
Where do I go to get over the fact
That you got on a plane, and you ain't comin' back
I said what I said, and you did what you had to do
Where does a man have to go to get over the truth
Where do I go from you
Well, I got a good friend who's got a good life
He's got two pretty children and a real nice wife
Yet he never seems quite satisfied
I said, "I know what's on your mind
But you better think about it before you cross that line
The grass ain't always greener on the other side"
Then what, what you gonna do
When the new wears off and the old shines through
And it ain't really love and it ain't really lust
You ain't anybody any body's gonna trust
Then what, where you gonna turn
When you can't turn back for the bridges you burn
And fate can't wait to kick you in the butt, then what?
Oh then what?
Well, I ain't saying that looking's a crime
Well, I've done my share from time to time
It don't mean that you gotta take that leap
When you're standin' on the brink
Before you jump you gotta step back and think
There's price for every promise you don't keep
Then what, what you gonna do
When the new wears off and the old shines through
And it ain't really love and it ain't really lust
You ain't anybody, any body's gonna trust?
Then what, where you gonna turn
When you can't turn back for the bridges you burn
And fate can't wait to kick you in the butt, then what?
Oh, then what?
Do what you want, do what you wish
It's your life but remember this
There's bound to be some consequences
Sneaking under other fences
Then what, what you gonna do
When the new wears off and the old shines through
And it ain't really love and it ain't really lust
You ain't anybody any body's gonna trust
Then what, where you gonna turn
When you can't turn back for the bridges you burn
And fate can't wait to kick you in the butt, then what?
She's got a mind of her own
But her heart belongs to me
Oh, she could make it alone
But where on earth, would I be
She'll listen but she won't do
What she's told
Sometimes she's hard to handle
But she's always easy to hold
She's strong enough
To stand on her own two feet
Oh, but I'm so glad
Sometimes she leans on me
She's the kind of woman
That no man can control
Sometimes she's hard to handle
But she's always easy to hold
When she don't get what she wants
There's hell to pay
And the truth be known
I wouldn't want her any other way
There's some devil in every angel
There are thorns with every rose
Sometimes she's hard to handle
But she's always easy to hold
There's some devil in every angel
There are thorns with every rose
Sometimes she's hard to handle
But she's always easy to hold
Yes, sometimes she's hard to handle
Blue eyes cuttin' through the summer day
Every ray of light seems to come from her face
From the tip of her toes to the top of her head
She's a hundred percent a American Girl
She's my sweet sun angel
Every bit of summer time
Never seen her look so fine
My sweet sun angel
If you ever see her on the street
You'll know just what she does to me
Just watch her shine and she's mine, mine, mine
She's my sweet sun angel
She's my umbrella in the pourin' rain
She's my shelter in this wild, wild hurricane
Gotta Heaven full of stars shinin' in her eyes
And I swear I haven't felt so good in my whole life
She's my sweet sun angel
Every bit of summer time
Never seen her look so fine
My sweet sun angel
If you ever see her on the street
You'll know just what she does to me
Just watch her shine and she's mine, mine, mine
She's my sweet sun angel
Loves me like I'm her tomorrow
And she's the light that I wanna follow
(Sweet)
Sweet, sweet angel
(Sweet)
Sun angel
My sweet sun angel
Every bit of summer time
Never seen her look so fine
My sweet sun angel
If you ever see her on the street
You'll know just what she does to me
My sweet sun ange
Every bit of summer time
Never seen her look so fine
It\'s been a dead ass week,
at a dead end job.
Got a boss on me like a snake on a frog.
There\'s gotta be more then what I got on this big \'ol piece of rock.
I want a little umbrella and a patch of sand, coconut drink and a ragae band.
It just might be the place where I get off.
Yeah I want a day in the life of a summertime song.
Sail away with a malibu wrong.
Sail on sail on away yeah.
Let the scorching sun and the salt in the sea burn the skin right off of me.
Come on everybody sing along.
It\'s the summertime song.
I might pierce my ear and bleach my hair and get a tattoo on my derri�re.
Right now I don\'t really care what anybody else might think.
I\'m gonna dance to every song I can.
So I can show off my new island tan.
While I wave my hand and raise my drink.
Cause I want a day in the life of a summertime song.
Sail away with a malibu wrong.
Sail on sail on away yeah.
Let the scorching sun and the salt in the sea burn the skin right off of me.
Come on everybody sing along.
It\'s the summertime song.
Yeah I want a day in the life of a summertime song.
Sail away with a malibu wrong.
Sail on sail on away yeah.
Let the scorching sun and the salt in the sea burn the skin right off of me.
Come on everybody sing along.
See that cowboy at the bar
The one at the end with all the scars
He got stomped by the meanest bronc in Santa Fe
But if he looks a little down and out
It ain't that bronc he's thinking about
It's that girl that broke his heart along the way
When a cowboy falls, he falls hard
And sometimes he falls way too far
And you can bet that when he hits the ground
And he'll get back up and play the part
Even with a broken heart
He'll hold the reins and hide the pain inside
Love's always a cowboy's toughest ride
Girl just listen to me now
I should know what I'm talking about
'Cause everything I learned, I learned from you
I have rode some broncs from hell
And it hurt me every time I fell
But not half as much as the pain of losing you
When this cowboy falls, he falls hard
And sometimes he falls way too far
But you can bet that when he hits the ground
He'll get back up and play the part
Even with a broken heart
He'll hold the reins and hide the pain inside
Love's always a cowboy's toughest ride
Somethin bout the way she’s wearing her dress a little tighter
Somethin bout the way she’s starin, she’s lookin to start a fire
Somethin bout the way she’s dancin and drinkin chill patron
If she’s lonely now she won’t be lonely long
Heaven help the fool who did her wrong
It’s too late, too bad, she’s too far gone
He should’ve thought of that before he left her all alone
If she’s lonely now, she won’t be lonely long
Somethin bout the way she’s blushin you can tell she isn’t sure
Let you know she’s up to something she’s never done before
Tonight she wants to hold a stranger but not the one at home
If she’s lonely now she won’t be lonely long
Heaven help the fool who did her wrong
It’s too late, too bad, she’s too far gone
He should’ve thought of that before he left her all alone
If she’s lonely now, she won’t be lonely long
If I had a woman like that
Man I’d let her know
I’d hold her tight
I’d hold her close
Do anything, do everything to let her know
She’d never ever be alone
Heaven help the fool who did her wrong
It’s too late, too bad, she’s too far gone
He should’ve thought of that before he left her all alone
If she’s lonely now, lord if she’s lonely now
When the moon pulls the tide
The ocean don't ask why, it just follows
No one has to tell the trees
It's time to grow new leaves down in the hollow
And I've heard it said
It's all part of the good Lord's master plan
And now I understand why
Every time you walk in the room
I find myself reaching for you
I don't even have to try
'Cause like the way
This heart of mine beats
Loving you comes naturally to me
Like singin' is to birds
I'm never at a loss for words when I'm near you
Every time I hold you tight
I get a feeling deep inside like I was born to
Girl, there ain't no doubt
It's the easiest thing I've ever done
And I know you're the one
'Cause every time you walk in the room
I find myself reaching for you
I don't even have to try
'Cause like the way
This heart of mine beats
Loving you comes naturally to me
I don't even have to try
'Cause like the way
This heart of mine beats
Girl, if you only knew how many times I've reached for you
Every night I'd drift off to sleep and there you would be
Reaching for me too, oh but now I don't have to close my eyes
For this dream to come alive
It's real, it's here in my heart
Stronger than steel, brighter than a million stars
Baby you, have shown me how love should feel
Every single touch tells me that this love is real
I guess that I really thought
The thrill would wear off eventually
Oh but still, I can't get enough
I still get a rush when you're close to me
You're the fire burning in my soul and that is how I know
It's real, it's here in my heart
Stronger than steel, brighter than a million stars
Baby you have shown me how love should feel
Every single touch tells me that this love is real
I can't remember ever feeling like this
With every look and every kiss, it's real
Now baby you have shown me how love should feel
Every single touch tells me that this love
Solid gold candle holders
And an old bottle of wine
You let your hair down on your shoulders
And you pressed your lips to mine
The rain beat soft against the window
As the night turned into dawn
And as I looked deep into your eyes
I knew where my heart belonged
I'm ready for the next step in love
Girl, you're all that I can think of
Isn't my love good enough
I'm ready for the next step in love
Solid white wedding dress
And a long white veil
We put all our fears to rest
And we let this ship set sail
I placed the ring on your finger
Then you looked at me and smiled
Then we sealed our love with one last kiss
And I walked you up the aisle
I'm ready for the next step in love
Girl, you're all that I can think of
Isn't my love good enough
I'm ready for the next step in love
I'm ready for the next step in love
Girl, you're all that I can think of
Isn't my love good enough
I'm ready for the next step in love
Where do you go when it rains in Mexico?
Where do you hide when the bottom falls outta the sky?
And who do you love when the one you love's been lovin' someone else?
It ain't no fun tryin' to have fun all by yourself
So where do you go when it rains in Mexico?
I got a watered down Margarita stuck in the sand
The little umbrella's doin' the best that it can
Now everybody said, "This is the place to set your spirit free"
Well, I came down and the clouds came out and they poured down on me
So I gotta wring out my shirt when I get back to the hut
I gotta find a place to dry off my coconut
There's a pretty little brown-eyed girl flaggin' a taxi cab
She's alone so she might know, maybe I should ask, hey, hey, hey
Where do you go when it rains in Mexico?
Where do you hide when the bottom falls outta the sky?
And who do you love when the one you love's been lovin' someone else?
It ain't no fun tryin' to have fun when you're all by yourself
So where do you go when it rains in Mexico?
She supplied the transportation, I supplied the rum
When we got to the destination, I gave her some rum
Now I know where to go when it rains in Mexico
Where to hide when the bottom falls outta the sky
And who to love when the one you love's been lovin' someone else
It ain't been fun tryin' to have fun all by myself
So where do you go when it rains in Mexico?
Where do you go when it rains in Mexico?
Where do you go when it rains in Mexico?
Last night is the last time
She's ever leavin' me
'Cause I've taken all the past times
And I've stored 'em in my memory
She probably thinks I'm crazy
She probably thinks I've lost my mind
'Cause when she drove away
Well, I just waved goodbye
It's been one time, two times, three times more
Than I can't bear to stand
The clock is stopped from that slammin' door
And I can't turn the hands
Well, I've lost track of time
But you're still right here with me
'Cause honey I might lose my mind
But I'll never lose your memory
Everybody asks me
How I got over you
Well, I just tell them that we
We're just about overdue
Well, it don't matter how far you go
'Cause you're never far from me
'Cause honey, I might lose my mind
But I'll never lose your memory
It's been one time, two times, three times more
Than I can't bear to stand
The clock is stopped from that slammin' door
And I can't turn the hands
Well, I've lost track of time
But you're still right here with me
'Cause honey I might lose my mind
But I'll never lose your memory
Baby, you made me lose my mind
Songwriters: Glover, Ben; Jacobs, Kyle; Leathers, Joe
I was raised knowin' right from wrong
Baptized under that ol' rugged cross
I try to be a good man, I always give it my best
But truth be told, some days, I wanna go
To the wild, wild west
I wanna line 'em up and drink 'em
I wanna love 'em and leave 'em
Sometimes, I just wanna rob a train
Be the first draw in that high noon sun
And feel the kick of my six gun
Yeah, I want "Wanted" above my name
Sometimes, I wanna be like Jesus
Sometimes, I wanna be Jesse James
I know where to draw the line
But there's somethin' 'bout that other side
I've got angels on my left, and demons on my right
It's a never endin' battle, it's a constant fight
I wanna line 'em up and drink 'em
I wanna love 'em and leave 'em
Sometimes, I just wanna rob a train
Be the first draw in that high noon sun
And feel the kick of my six gun
Yeah, I want "Wanted" above my name
Sometimes, I wanna be like Jesus
Sometimes, I wanna be Jesse James
I wanna steal a horse and ride into town
Stare the sheriff down
Tell him there's a new man around here
I wanna walk throught those swingin' saloon doors
And hear my spurs hit the wooden floor
I wanna smell nothin' but fear
Y'hear, law don't go 'round here
I wanna line 'em up and drink 'em
I wanna love 'em and leave 'em
Sometimes, I just wanna rob a train
Be the first draw in that high noon sun
And feel the kick of my six gun
Yeah, I want "Wanted" above my name
Sometimes, I wanna be like Jesus
Sometimes, I wanna be Jesse James
Y'hear that, law dog
Maybe it's the glance from across the room
Or a hint of just the right perfume
Suddenly two strangers become friends
I don't know how love starts
But I sure know how it ends
A few angry words you just can't take back
Cold bitter tears as a suitcase is packed
Next thing you know you're back to being strangers again
I don't know how love starts
But I sure know how it ends
Maybe it's the way she says your name
And no one else's touch feels quite the same
Suddenly you find you're fallin' in
I don't know how love starts
But I sure know how it ends
A few angry words you just can't take back
Cold bitter tears as a suitcase is packed
Love comes and goes but don't ask me why or when
I don't know how love starts
But I sure know how it ends
No, I don't know how love starts
Oh, look there, you go again, puttin' on that smile again
Even though I know you've had a bad day
Doin' this and doin' that, always puttin' yourself last
A whole lotta give and not enough take
But you can only be strong so long before you break
So fall, go on and fall apart
And fall into these arms of mine, I'll catch you
Every time you fall, go on and lose it all
Every doubt, every fear, every worry, every tear
I'm right here, baby fall
Forget about the world tonight, all that's wrong and all that's right
Lay your head on my shoulder and let it fade away
And if you wanna let go, baby, it's okay
Fall, go on and fall apart
And fall into these arms of mine and I'll catch you
Every time you fall, go on and lose it all
Every doubt, every fear, every worry, every tear
I'm right here, baby fall
Hold on, hold on
Hold on to me
Fall, go on and fall apart
And fall into these arms of mine and I'll catch you
Every time you fall, go on and lose it all
Every doubt, every fear, every worry, every tear
She knew she caught my eye
And that was all it took
Ain't it strange how forever changed
With just one look
The magic filled the night
She touched my soul like no one else
Yes, the way that woman made me feel
Left me talking to myself
You better run for cover
You better hide your heart
'Cause once you start to love her
You know you'll never stop
She shines like a diamond
When she walks into a room
She could charm the stars
Hypnotize the moon
Once I held her close
I knew just where I stood
No, you never get a second chance
To ever feel so good
Then and there I knew
These words were etched in stone
If you can't feel the power of
The greatest love you've known
You better run for cover
You better hide your heart
'Cause once you start to love her
You know you'll never stop
She shines like a diamond
When she walks into a room
She could charm the stars
Hypnotize the moon
You better run for cover
You better hide your heart
'Cause once you start to love her
You know you'll never stop
She shines like a diamond
When she walks into a room
She could charm the stars
She could charm the stars
The sun's reflecting off the city limit sign
I better keep movin' before I change my mind
Lookin' in the rearview mirror
Comin' home didn't make it clearer
I didn't wanna hear her say goodbye
Heartache Highway why didn't I say
What she wanted to hear
Why must the most important words go unspoken
Heartache Highway now it's too late
To ever change her mind
Oh, it's a hell of a road
When you're leavin' heaven behind
Memories of her dance in my headlights
As I'm ridin' my pain into the night
Headin' for the next horizon
Watchin' the full moon risin'
Gotta keep on drivin' goin' nowhere on this
Heartache Highway why didn't I say
What she wanted to hear
Why must the most important words go unspoken
Heartache Highway now it's too late
To ever change her mind
Oh, it's a hell of a road
When you're leavin' heaven behind
Oh, it's a hell of a road
In L.A. they love their cars
Their muscles and their martini bars
They love to tan, they love their Gucci
Their Ray-Ban shades and eatin' sushi
Over in Texas they love the cowboys
From the big city bankers to the plowboys
They love their Ribeyes, and ropin' steers
Shootin' Jose Tequila and long neck beers
World's apart for worse or for better
The one thing that brings us together is
Everybody wants love, love, love
Everybody wants love
Everybody needs love, love, love
Everybody needs love
Over in Nashville they love their country
Eatin' biscuits and gravy on Sunday
They love the Opry and George Jones
Crankin' Sweet Home Alabama and The Rolling Stones
New York, New York big as it gets
They like to fight between the Yankees and the Mets
Down the South they love their football
The Bulldogs and the Longhorns and the Tennessee Vols
World's apart for worse or for better
The one thing that brings us together is
Everybody wants love, love, love
Everybody wants love
Yeah everybody needs love, love, love
Everybody needs love
It makes this whole world turn 'round
'Cause everybody wants love, love, love
Everybody wants love
Yeah, won't you give me some love, love, love?
Everybody needs love
Everybody wants love, love, love
Everybody wants love
Oh yeah, don't you know we need love, love, love?
This working all day ain't gettin' me nowhere
Breakin' my back won?t get it done
Wish I had a dime, wish I had a dollar
For every dream that I gave up on, that I gave up on
This hammer I?m swingin' is startin' to feel heavy
I clench my fist when I punch the clock
A little for the bank leaves nothing for my baby
Stretchin' my paycheck around the block
I need to go face first into that fresh air
Free up there where the eagle flies
Need to drop a line in that cool clear water
Leave the city behind and get countrified
A fool's gold watch and a lung
Full of black smoke is all I get for all I gave
My only reward for this broken down body
Was diggin' my way to an early grave
Always dreamed I?d end up on a river
Fast asleep on a mountain high
But I?m way down here in this concrete valley
In a sea of barbers and red taillights, red taillights
I need to go face first into that fresh air
Free up there where the eagle flies
Need to drop a line in that cool clear water
Leave the city behind and get countrified
I need to go face first into that fresh air
Free up there where the eagle flies
Need to drop a line in that cool clear water
Leave the city behind and get countrified
Fit to be tied
This working all day ain't gettin' me nowhere
Breakin' my back won?t get it done
Wish I had a dime, wish I had a dollar
I was breathin' but Lord I was barely alive
Findin' reasons for losin' the will to survive
I pushed the heart far beyond what it could take
Sometimes something's gotta break
Now it's alright, I think I see a light there up ahead
Yeah, it's alright, I think I've finally risen from the dead
The fire inside of me was gone like the wind
Now it's stirrin' within
It's coming back again
Down in the ashes of a light that I let bury me
One hand pullin' me under, and another tryin' to set me free
In the struggle, I know I lost my way
Somehow I never lost my faith
Now it's alright, I think I see a light there up ahead
Yeah, it's alright, I think I've finally risen from the dead
The fire inside of me was gone like the wind
Now it's stirrin' within
It's coming back again
Sometimes you stumble over steps you never take
Sometimes you learn from your mistakes
Now it's alright, I think I see a light there up ahead
Yeah, now it's alright, I think I've finally risen from the dead
The fire inside of me was gone like the wind
But now it's stirrin' within
It's coming back again
I spent half my life on bended knee
Begging somebody to change
And the other half prayin' to God
That they never would
And all it got me was twice as lost
When it all turned out the same
But all that beggin' finally did somebody good
I used to dream all night
Of a day that was gone
But come the mornin' light
Forever from now on
(chorus)
Gunna do my dreamin' with my eyes wide open
I'll do my looking back
With my eyes closed
We can do some livin'
Or spend our whole lives hopin'
End the end we're left with
The one we chose
So I'll do my dreaming with my eyes wide open
Every time the world moved on
I fell a little further behind
>From runnin' back or followin someone home
Until I learned that one step forward
Will take you further on
Than a thousand back or a million that ain't
Your own
I used to dream all night
Of a day that was gone
But come the mornin' light
Forever from now on
(chorus)
We can do some livin'
or spend our whole lives hopin'
In the end we're left with
The ones we chose
She works the late night shift down at the hamburger house
She pins back her hair and Lord she gets them orders out
She's always smilin' when she sees me walk in
'Cause she knows I'll be stayin' just as long as I can
Them milk shakes must be good, 'cause I just can't get my fill
Since the first time she made me one I've been head over heels
The tag on her shirt says, 'Hello, my name is Alice'
And I'll be doggone if she ain't the prettiest thing I've ever seen in Dallas
Her blue eyes they shine brighter than the aurora Borealis
Lord she looks just like a queen workin' in that white palace
When she works the drive-through window I burn up a tank of gas
I get one thing at a time so I can make another pass
Well I bet I'm the only one who ever gives her a tip
'Cause I love to hear thank you comin' from those sweet red lips
Someday I'll get the nerve and ask her for a date
And we'll drive out to Ft. Worth and I'll buy her a T-bone steak
The tag on her shirt says, 'Hello, my name is Alice'
I'll be doggone if she ain't the prettiest thing I've ever seen in Dallas
Her blue eyes they shine brighter than the aurora Borealis
Lord she looks just like a queen workin' in that White palace
Her blue eyes they shine brighter than the aurora Borealis
Lord she looks just like a queen workin' in that white palace
I used to wake up nights
Calling out your name
Then cry myself back to sleep
Knowing I'd only dream
I stayed inside for days
Trapped within my mind
Wonderin where you had gone
Convinced I could not go on
And just when I started feelin
Those hands of time start to healin
You're here at my door
Sayin your new dreams
Have led you back to me
Where were you
When I was goin crazy
Where were you
Do you know what your leaving put me through
When you were feeling lost last thing I knew
You went off to find yourself
Where were you
I can't pretend I'm strong
Or act like I don't care
But I wont betray my heart
Now that we've come this far
I let you go cause I had to
I close this door cause I need to
This tunnell has a light
It's not that far away
Gets brighter every day
Where were you
When I was goin crazy
Where were you
Do you know what your leaving put me through
When you were feeling lost last thing I knew
You went off to find yourself
Where were you
I love you so much in so many ways
I need you more and more every day
I want to spend my life with you
My love will never end
These are a few of the things
I should have said
Chorus:
Before you gave up on me
And walked out the door
Before you found someone else
You thought you loved more
He probably told you everything
That's running through my head
Now it's much too late to say
The things I should have said
You told me just as plain as it could be
How you needed to hear some words of love from me
I never thought it matterd much
Now it sure looks like it did
Oh, why didn't I say the things
I should have said
Chorus
He probably told you everything
That's running through my head
Now it's much to late to say
the things I should have said
Now I'll never get the chance to say
There's an oil well down on Johnson's Road
Where we'd go to be alone
I never thought I'd go there by myself
I stood there callin' out your name
No one answered, just the same
The silence speaks for itself
Well, I've been high and I've been low
And I've walked through the fires of hell
Are you comin' back, Lord? I don't know
I guess the silence speaks for itself
The last time you talked to me
I did all the talkin', now I see
You were tellin' me there was someone else
What I'd give to hear your voice
But I'm not given any choice
'Cause the silence speaks for itself
Well, I've been high and I've been low
And I've walked through the fires of hell
Are you comin' back, Lord? I don't know
I guess the silence speaks for itself
Well, I've been high and I've been low
And I've walked through the fires of hell
Are you comin' back, Lord? I don't know
I guess the silence speaks for itself
The last day of school was the first of June
Me and Bobby watched the clock all afternoon
Waitin' for the bell and Mrs. Greer
To say, "Have a good summer, see you next year"
That night I couldn't sleep 'cause the very next day
They started up the summertime matinees
With a different movie every afternoon
At the Melrose Avenue Cinema Two
Me and Bobby rode rockets into outer space
We drove Daytona and we won the race
We shot a lotta bull and some bad guys too
At the Melrose Avenue Cinema Two
The Melrose Avenue Cinema Two
Well, the years went by and the price went up
From a couple of quarters to a couple of bucks
Bobby and his family moved away
So I found my little girl to take his place
Me and Betty saw our share of love scenes
We even saw a couple on the movie screen
John Wayne won the lady and I did too
At the Melrose Avenue Cinema Two
The Melrose Avenue Cinema Two
Now the Melrose Avenue Cinema Two
Is a second hand store called 'Nothin' New'
All that's left of the old marquee
Is some broken glass and one crooked 'T'
And I watch old movies on a new TV
With Betty on the couch sittin' next to me
We still hold hands like we used to do
At the Melrose Avenue Cinema Two
The Melrose Avenue Cinema Two
The Melrose Avenue Cinema Two
(Aaron Barker/Ron Harbin/Anthony Smith)
Now I really should have known
That you'd
Show up sooner or later
Knowin' every Friday night
They always have
Your favorite band
Though someone new
Is with you at our table
Would it be too much
For me to ask
To ask you not to dance
Not tonight, not until
My heart's had some time to heal
Not right now, til I'm gone
I won't be here very long
And when I leave, you can stay
And just dance the night away
But 'til then, do you think
That there's a chance
I could ask you not to dance
I saw you slip the leader of the band
A piece of paper
I knew what song they'd play
Before he took it from your hand
I wonderin' if you'd do me
One last favor
And if the answer's no
I'll understand
Could I ask you not to dance
Not tonight, not until
My heart's had some time to heal
Not right now, til I'm gone
I won't be here very long
And when I leave, you can stay
And just dance the night away
But 'til then, do you think
That there's a chance
I could ask you not to dance
