There I was ten years old
Waiting in my room for him to come home
I just knew he'd be so mad
Though I begged my mother not to, she told my dad.
There was no denying I let him down
But instead of being angry
He put his arms around me and said
In the sunlight or the rain, brightest nights or darkest days
I'll always feel the same way
Whatever road you may be on
Know your never too far gone my love is there wherever you may be
Just remember that you will always be my baby.
There I was twenty one
Oh I was so ashamed of what I'd done
On a country road
Parked one night
What started out so innocent
Crossed the line
There was no denying
I let God down
But instead of being angry
He let his love surround me and I heard
In the sunlight or the rain, brightest nights or darkest days
I'll always feel the same way
Whatever road you may be on
Know your never too far gone
My love is there wherever you may be
Just remember that you will always be my baby yeah yeah.
There he is my little man
I'm sure he'll get in trouble every now and then
And I pray to god that when he does
I'll be just as understanding as my father was
'cause the last thing that I want to do is let him down
So instead of being angry
I'm gonna throw my arms around him and I'll say
In the sunlight or the rain, brightest nights or darkest days
I'll always feel the same way whatever road you may be on
Noo your never too far gone
My love is there wherever you may be

If all my good fortune ended
If my whole world came tumbling down
And suddenly everything I'm sure of
Came crashing to the ground
My worst fears all came true
If I lost every dream I ever knew
You
Would be the faith that carries me
You
Would show me the grace to make me see the truth
Whatever storm I fly into
All I really need to get me through
Is you
I can take my chances
I can swing from the trapeze
I'm not afraid of falling
Cause I know that you'll catch me
When my sky is running out of blue
And when I just don't know what to do
You
Would be the faith that carries me
You
Would show me the grace to make me see the truth
Whatever storm I fly into
All I really need to get me through
Is you
And when I don't believe in anything
And I'm spinning in a hurricane
And the world is full of strangers
I've got you
You
Yea, yea, yea, yea
Oh you
Would be the faith that carries me through
Would show me the grace to make me see the truth
Whatever storm I fly into
All I really need to get me through
You, you
Yea, yea
You're all I need
Oh yea
You, you
You're all I need
Can't believe that after all this time
You keep slipping back across my mind
Did we maybe leave the love behind afraid of what we felt
Other loves I've had have come and gone
I don't know why, they just don't last too long
There are questions that go on and go
That time won't tell
Time won't tell me how it might have been
And time won't make what's wrong alright
It can only take me back again
Feeling all those memories in black and white
I watch his kiss good-bye that day
Heres where you turn around and walk away
Where were the words that would have made you stay
Time won't tell
No, time won't tell me how it might have been
And time won't make what's wrong alright
It can only take me back again
Feeling all those memories in black and white
You never see the road you didn't take
You never feel the love you failed to make
But you never know might be the words to say
And time won't tell
We're only human, baby
We walk on broken ground
We lose our way
We come unwound We'll turn in circles, baby
We're never satisfied
We'll fall from grace
Forget we can fly
But through all the tears that we cried
We'll survive
Cause when we're torn apart
Shattered and scarred
Love has the grace to save us
We're just two tarnished hearts
When in each other's arms
We become saints and angels.
I love your imperfections
I love your everything
Your broken heart, your broken wings
I love you when you hold me
And when you turn away
I love you still and I'm not afraid
Cause I know you feel the same way
And you'll stay
Cause when we're torn apart
Shattered and scarred
Love has the grace to save us
We're just two tarnished hearts
When in each other's arms
We become saints and angels.
These feet of clay (these feet of clay)
They will not stray
Cause when we're torn apart
Shattered and scarred
Love has the grace to save us
We're just two tarnished hearts
When in each other's arms
We become saints and angels.
Saints and angels
You don't know what you do
When you look at me that way
You don't how my heart breaks
Everytime you say my name
You don't see all the tears
That I cry in the dark
You don't hear how I pray
That you're safe when we're apart
Everytime we kiss you don't know
How you steal a piece of my soul
You don't know how it feels
To be the one who loves the most
How hard it is not to beg you to stay
Then watch you go
Oh, you say it's all in my head
But to me it seems so real
No, you don't know how it feels
You might think you do
But you don't
Hey!
And everytime we kiss you don't know
How you steal a piece of my soul
You don't know how it feels
To be the one who loves the most
How hard it is not to beg you to stay
Then watch you go
Oh, you say it's all in my head
But to me it seems so real
No, you don't know it feels
You might think you do
But you don't
No, you don't know how it feels
You might think you do
I'd rather live a life of lies and fantasy
Than to face the truth and realize you're leaving me
You built me up so high my heart can't stand to fall
And life without your love just isn't life at all
So walk out backwards if you must go
But please don't wave goodbye
Just wave one last hello
The truth won't hurt so much
If I can just pretend
So walk out backwards
And I'll think you're walking in
Well, you walked into my heart in search of sympathy
And from that day down to this
You've walked all over me
And now you're walking out to love somebody new
But you're not by yourself
'Cause my heart's leaving too
So walk out backwards if you must go
But please don't wave goodbye
Just wave one last hello
The truth won't hurt so much
If I can just pretend
So walk out backwards
There's a key in a letter unopened
Buried back in an old dresser drawer
There's a name stained with tears on that letter
One that I'm sure I've never seen before
There's no date on that letter unopened
My guess is it's faded with years
And I can't sleep at night now for wonderin'
How long has that secret been hiding here
Did you love someone, lose someone
Leave someone waiting
Is there somebody's heart out there
You could have taken
The letter says it all
Though the words go unspoken
You loved me enough to leave it unopened
There's a love that is trust without reason
There's a faith that leaves questions unasked
And though my heart has searched for the answer
I love you too much for these lips to ask
Did you love someone, lose someone
Leave someone waiting
Is there somebody's heart out there
You could have taken
The letter says it all
Though the words go unspoken
You loved me enough to leave it unopened
Oh, the letter says it all
Though the words go unspoken
I look into those blue eyes
Something happens to me
Although I know again tonight
I'll hear nothing but true lies
That string of broken hearts all over town
Should be enough to tell me
I should be turning you down, then
I look into those blue eyes
Something happens to me
Although I know again tonight
I'll hear nothing but true lies
True lies will hurt me less than losing you
So darling lie to me
When I get lost in those blue eyes
I should know better than to let you in
We're just beginning
And I can already see the end, when
I look into those blue eyes
Something happens to me
Although I know again tonight
If I had one wish, I would wish for two
For me and you to be happy
With the way things are, sometimes gets hard
But, we've come so far to be happy
Yeah, don't think that I'm complaining
Sometimes it keeps on raining
Oh but don't be frightened by thunder and lightning
The sun comes out and the flowers grow
And you find you're already on the road to be happy
If I had one prayer to pull out of thin air
Everyone, everywhere would be happy
We'd hand out Valentines, I'd be yours, you'd be mine
There's a place, there's a time to be happy
Well we fuss and we fight
We can't see the light
We wake up and decide
I've got a tiger by the tail
It's plain to see
I won't be much when you get through with me
Well, I'm a losing weight and a turnin' mighty pale
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
Well, I thought the day I met you
You were meek as a lamb
Just the kind to make my dreams and plans
But now the pace we're livin'
Takes the wind from my sail
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
I've got a tiger by the tail
It's plain to see
I won't be much when you get through with me
Well, I'm a losing weight and a turnin' mighty pale
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
Every night you drag me where
The bright lights are found
There ain't no way to slow you down
I'm about as helpless as a leaf in a gale
And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
I've got a tiger by the tail
It's plain to see
I won't be much when you get through with me
Well, I'm a losing weight and a turnin' mighty pale
On a morning flight out of Birmingham he started talking
She'd never even met him, but Lord she thought that
He'd never shut up
If she didn't look up, and pay attention
So she took off her headphones, closed her book
And started listening
He said I just broke up with my girlfriend yesterday
In a "Dear John" note she said I'm moving to L.A.
I'm calling it off, I'm taking the dog
And don't try to follow
She thinks she's a big star now,
Made the Hollywood round of American Idol
Thirty minutes later she felt sorry for him a little
She moved from her seat in the aisle to the middle
Buckle up, here comes love
Looks like cupid just showed up
Let him on, let him by
Give him room, don't ask why
'Cause love don't need no ticket to ride
She said I just can't believe
Someone would leave a man like you
You seem like a good one
In these days there are so few
Lord knows I've tried, to find a decent guy
But it's hard to do
The way I hate to shop and how I love Football
You'd think I'd have two
A second glass of wine just over the Rockies
They didn't see the sign
But it was plain as plain could be
Buckle up, here comes love
Looks like cupid just showed up
Let him on, let him by
Give him room, don't ask why
'Cause love don't need no ticket to ride
They're right there at L.A.X. waiting for their bags
He said what happens next?
And she said do you have to ask
Buckle up, here comes love
Looks like cupid just showed up
Let him on, let him by
Give give room, don't ask why
Buckle up, here comes love
Looks like cupid just showed up
Let him on, let him by
Give him room, don't ask why
'Cause love don't need no,
On a highway bound for nowhere
I ran my fingers through my tangled hair
As I pulled in for another tank of freedom
With a hundred miles behind me
And a million more to go
I was tryin' to put some distance between us
I turned on the radio
And a voice came over sweet and low
And I didn't know the tears were gonna start
But what amazed me even more
Is I'd never heard that song before
But somehow I knew each word by heart
And I don't know why, I don't know how
But with his song he turned my life and
This old car around
Just when I thought I was over you
He changed my life with three chords and the truth
Found a pay phone at a truck stop
Said a prayer as the quarter dropped
Oh, please be home, I know that I was wrong
Honey, don't talk, just listen
I think I found what I was missin'
In a song I heard tonight on a radio
And I don't know why, I don't know how
But with his song he turned my life and
This old car around
Just when I thought I was over you
He changed my life with three chords and the truth
Just when I thought I was over you
Wasn't that long ago
I was skipping school with a lunchbox
Pigtails in my hair
Where did the time go
One minute I'm playing in the sandbox
How'd I get to here from there
Making lunches and folding clothes
Is not the most glamourous life I know
But I've got so much more than most
I'm not famous but my kids think I'm a star
Im not rich but I've made a million memories so far
I may not be a model
But My man thinks I could be
I may not be from royalty
But in these four walls
I'm the queen
I had it all planned
First I'd make it big in Nashville
Then take hollywood by storm
But it was in God's hands
There were three little lives that would need me
To one day be their mom
I wouldn't trade it for anything
Those movie stars don't have everything
I know I'm right where I wanna be
I had to let it go, but I have no regrets
Fire up the motor baby, I'm already packed
I'll ride shotgun, navigate, throw the cooler in the back
Let's try and get us lost
Anywhere you want to go
Come on show me the other side of the great unknown
Well I've never rocked the Rockies
Never sinned in Santa Fe
I want to stand on a corner in Winslow, Arizona someday
And just take it easy
Drive me down a desert road
Come on show me the other side of the great unknown
Cause I'm tired of being careful
I'm sick of staying home
I just want to see a little of the great unknown
Take a right, take a left, I don't really care
It doesn't matter where we end up
Baby I can love you anywhere
I will be a waitress, you could work on cars
Find ourselves a koa and sleep underneath the stars
Just living and a loving
Cause I'm tired of being careful
I'm sick of staying home
I just want to see a little of the great unknown
Take a right, take a left, I don't really care
Baby don't say no
Come on and show me the other side of the great unknown
She was in the backyard - they say it was a little past nine
When her prince pulled up - a white pickup truck
Her folks shoulda seen it comin' - it was only just a matter of time
Plenty old enough - and you can't stop love
She stuck a note on the screen door - "sorry but I got to go"
That was all she wrote - her mama's heart was broke
That was all she wrote - so the story goes
Now her daddy's in the kitchen - starin' out the window
Scratchin' and a rackin' his brains
How could 18 years just up and walk away
Our little pony-tailed girl growed up to be a woman
Now she's gone in the blink of an eye
She left the suds in the bucket
And the clothes hangin' out on the line
Now don't you wonder what the preacher's gonna preach about Sunday morn
Nothin' quite like this has happened here before
Well he must have been a looker - smooth talkin' son of a gun
For such a grounded girl - to just up and run
Course you can't fence time - and you can't stop love
Now all the biddy's in the beauty shop gossip goin' non-stop
Sippin' on pink lemonade
How could 18 years just up and walk away
Our little pony-tailed girl growed up to be a woman
Now she's gone in the blink of an eye
She left the suds in the bucket
And the clothes hangin' out on the line
She's got her pretty little bare feet hangin' out the window
And they're headin' up to Vegas tonight
How could 18 years just up and walk away
Our little pony-tailed girl growed up to be a woman
Now she's gone in the blink of an eye
She left the suds in the bucket
She gets up every mornin' while everyone's in bed
Starts the coffee, makes the breakfast for all those sleepy-heads
Yeah, yeah, some things never change
He comes in all dressed for work sayin', "Baby, I love you"
Gotta go, even though it's not what he wants to do
But he does it, some things never change
In a world that keeps turnin' and movin' so fast
When you can't hold on to nothin' and nothin' seems to last
It's so good to know that love still remains
Ain't you glad that some things never change?
Three o'clock every afternoon waitin' by the door
Sees her babies are runnin' off the bus, she couldn't love 'em any more
Yeah, yeah, oh, some things never change
Like when I'm lyin' next to you, well, I remember when
Your kisses made me crazy so beautiful back then
And I still feel the same, yeah, some things never change
In a world that keeps turnin' and movin' so fast
When you can't hold on to nothin' and nothin' seems to last
It's so good to know that love still remains
Ain't you glad that some things never change?
Yeah, same as the sun keeps risin'
Yeah, every day someone is findin' love
Oh yeah
In a world that keeps turnin' and movin' so fast
When you can't hold on to nothin' and nothin' seems to last
It's so good to know that love still remains
Oh, when the world that keeps turnin' and movin' so fast
When you can't hold on to nothin' and nothin' seems to last
And it's sure good to know that love still remains
Oh, ain't you glad that some things never change? Yeah
Oh, ain't you glad that some things never change?
I heard the word goin' round
Somebody said she's leavin' town
Packed up her bags and left you flat
Shame about that
Somebody said they saw her cryin'
Said she was through with all your lyin'
Said wild horses couldn't drag her back
Shame about that
Well excuse me for my lack of sympathy
I don't mean to be cruel
But it sounds like the same kind of thing you did to me
Back when I played the fool
So, don't bother knockin' on my door
'Cause I wouldn't touch you with a ten foot pole
You dug your grave now lay on back
Shame about that
Well excuse me for my lack of sympathy
I don't mean to be cruel
But it sounds like the same kind of thing you did to me
Back when I played the fool
So, don't bother knockin' on my door
'Cause I wouldn't touch you with a ten foot pole
You dug your grave now lay on back
We're only human, baby
We walk on broken ground
We lose our way
We come unwound
We turn in circles, baby
We're never satisfied
We fall from grace
Forget we can fly
But through all the tears that we cry
We'll survive
Cause when we're torn apart
Shattered and scarred
Love has the grace to save us
We're just two tarnished hearts
But in each other's arms
We become saints and angels
I love your imperfections
I love your everything
Your broken heart, your broken wings
I love you when you hold me
And when you turn away
I love you still and I'm not afraid
Cause I know you feel the same way
And you'll stay
Cause when we're torn apart
Shattered and scarred
Love has the grace to save us
We're just two tarnished hearts
But in each other's arms
We become saints and angels
These feet of clay
They will not stray
Cause when we're torn apart
Shattered and scarred
Love has the grace to save us
We're just two tarnished hearts
But in each other's arms
We become saints and angels
If you don't take me to Paris on a lover's getaway
It's all right, it's all right
If I'd rather wear your t-shirt than a sexy negligee
It's all right, it's all right
Every dinner doesn't have to be candlelit
It's kinda nice to know that it doesn't have to be
Perfect
Baby every little piece of the puzzle doesn't always fit perfectly
Love can be rough around the edges, tattered at the seams
Honey, if it's good enough for you, it's good enough for me
If your mother doesn't like the way I treat her baby boy
It's all right, it's all right
If in every wedding picture my Daddy looks annoyed
It's all right, it's all right
Don't you know that all the fairy tales tell a lie?
Real love and real life doesn't have to be
Perfect
Baby every little piece of the puzzle doesn't always fit perfectly
Love can be rough around the edges, tattered at the seams
Honey, if it's good enough for you, it's good enough for me
Oh, you don't mind if I show up late for everything
When you lose your cool it's kinda cute to me
Hey, ain't it nice to know that we don't have to be
Perfect
Baby every little piece of the puzzle doesn't always fit perfectly
Love can be rough around the edges, tattered at the seams
Honey, if it's good enough for you, it's good enough for me
Oh, you're good enough for me, uh huh
Yeah, you're good enough for me
Fireflies are out tonight
Air is heavy and the moon is bright
I love this time of year
I talked to you this afternoon
You said you didn't have very much to do
I said I'd be here
So come on over, come on in, come on by baby
Otis Redding makes me feel good
Dancin' in the kitchen barefoot
All the windows up, just can't get enough
Headlights on my front lawn
I guess it didn't take you very long to decide
To come on over, come on in, come inside baby
Won't you come on up, come on in, come inside baby
There's just something 'bout the way
The way you talk to me
You give just what I need
And when you come around my feet can't find the ground
I'm losin' myself like a drop in the rain
You twist me up like a hurricane
I can't stand up for fallin' down
So come on up, come on in, I like it when you come around
A minute ago there were a million stars
And now it's soaking wet out in my backyard
Let's take cover baby
But you just wanna run around in the rain
You make me laugh like a kid again
Loud and crazy baby
I can't imagine, any greater fear
Then waking up, without you here,
And though the sun, would still shine on,
My whole world, would all be gone,
But not for long,
If I had to run, if I had to crawl
If I had to swim a hundred rivers, just to climb a thousand walls,
Always know that I would find a way, to get to where you are,
There's no place that far
It wouldn't matter why we're apart,
Lonely minds or two stubborn hearts
Nothing short of God above
Could turn me away from your love
I need you that much
If I had to run, if I had to crawl
If I had to swim a hundred rivers, just to climb a thousand walls,
Always know that I would find a way, to get to where you are,
There's no place that far
If I had to run, if I had to crawl
If I had to swim a hundred rivers, just to climb a thousand walls,
Always know that I would find a way, to get to where you are,
There's no place that far
Standing at the edge of this cliff
Gravity being what it is
I'm afraid that I might stumble
'Cause I've never been this high
I'm so carried away by this place
And the simple beauty of your face
When the walls start to crumble
And I'm helpless to fight
[Chorus]
'Cause you can't ask the sun not to shine
And no one's ever found a way to stop time
Oh baby it's unstoppable
I can't resist at all
I would never try to slow down the wind
Baby it just has to be what it is
And asking me not to love you
Is like asking Niagara not to fall
I can't worry my heart with what if
Maybe I should just give in
And wrap myself around you
And let you take me down
Take me down
'Cause you can't ask the sun not to shine
And no one's ever found a way to stop time
Oh baby it's unstoppable
I can't resist at all
I would never try to slow down the wind
Baby it just has to be what it is
And asking me not to love you
Is like asking Niagara not to fall
woo, yeah yeah yeah
no you can't ask the sun not to shine
And no one's ever found a way to stop time
Oh baby it's unstoppable
I can't resist at all
I would never try to slow down the wind
Baby it just has to be what it is
And asking me not to love you
Is like asking Niagara not to fall
woo, yeah
not to fall
rain rain rain down on me
wash wash wash over me
fall fall fall into me
Every day we walk right past
All the concrete and the glass
I don't know where we're going
I hardly ever see your face
And there's not enough space
For all the love we should be growing
We just need a little earth to stand on
Plant our hearts on solid ground
Turn the lights out on this city
And wake up in a new hometown
We'll stand out in our front yard
Where we can finally breathe
If we find a little earth to stand on
Baby you and me
Imagine Friday football games
Where everybody knows our names
They even stop to say hello
I bet they'll have a town parade
Kids selling lemonade
Baby, don't you wanna go, ohhhh
I don't want to face tomorrow
If we don't leave this place tonight
I've never been more sure
Of anything in my life
All we need's a little earth to stand on
Plant our hearts on solid ground
Turn the lights out on this city
And wake up in a new hometown
Stand out in our front yard
Where we can finally breathe
If we find a little earth to stand on
Baby you and me
Need a little earth to stand on
Plant our hearts on solid ground
Turn the lights out on this city
And wake up in a new hometown
We'll dance out in our front yard
Underneath a maple tree
If we find a little earth to stand on
Been running from these feelings for so long
Telling my heart I didn't need you
Pretending I was better off alone
But I know that it's just a lie
So afraid to take a chance again
So afraid of what I feel inside
But I need to be next to you, oh I, oh I
I need to share every breath with you, oh I, oh I
I need to know I can see your smile each morning
Look into your eyes each night
For the rest of my life
Here with you, near with you
Oh I, I need to be next to you
Right here with you is where I belong
I'll lose my mind if I can't see you
Without you there is nothing in this life
That would make my life worth living for
I can't bear the thought of you not there
I can't fight what I feel anymore
'Cause I need to be next to you, oh I, oh I
I need to share every breath with you, oh I, oh I
I need to know I can see your smile each morning
Look into your eyes each night
For the rest of my life
Oh, here with you, near with you
Oh I, I need to be next to you
I need to have your heart next to mine
For all time
Oh, love you for all of my life
Oh I need to be next to you, oh I, oh I
I need to share every breath with you, oh I, oh I
I need to know I can see your smile each morning
Look into your eyes each night
For the rest of my life
Oh, here with you, near with you
Oh I, I need to be next to you, oh I, oh I
I need to be next to you, oh I, oh I
I need to share every breath with you
Need to be next to you
Need to be next to you
Well' you never buy me flowers
Hey, did you hear what I said
I'll be dancing barefoot while you put the kids to bed
Take a good look darlin
At the smile on my face
It's been a long hard week and I'm ready to play
Now take a big whiff honey
Of my sweet perfume
Well, it's the only thing left of me left in this room
Cause' I'm alright now
Got a little money
And the gas taks full
Yeah, I'm alright now
Me and the girls in the Coupe DeVille
Yeah, I'm alright
Daddy's doin dishes
Cause it's momma'a night out
Well you can be a couch potatoe
Drink your beer and eat some chips
While I put a little Wet-N-Wild on my lips
So take a picture of me honey
Cause I look so fine
I love my life, love my husband
Without those kid's, man I ain't nothing
I love my fans, love my band
Love my little Tennessee piece of land
Sometimes my life can get so hectic
Out of the blue when I least expect it
Somewhere between the hubbub and the drama
I get to thinking bout mama and
I'm caught up in missing Missouri
'Cause I wanna be with my family
Instead of stuck out on this road I'm on
Every time my bus wheels hit the bootheel
There's no limelight and I'm alright
'Cause I'm almost home
Where they love me, where they know me
Where they show me back in Missouri
The road just ain't no place for whiners
It's motels, truck stops, all night diners
Hoping that your song'll sell
And having to smile when it ain't doing well
So when everything just gets to much
And I feel like I'm giving up
I close my eyes and say a little prayer
And its like I'm there and
Late summer nights sneaking out the window
Me and the girls driving down the back roads
Tobacco fields and bumblebees
I can feel you watchin
I can feel your eyes on me
I can hear you whisper
And I just get so weak
But i'm a little bit scared
It's been a long time
Since I let my guard down and let someone inside
You dont need to wonder
Cause tonight you'll get it all
And when the night closes in
I'm gonna pull you so close
Hold you so tight
Gonna let it all go
And you can do what you want
You can take me right here
Cause I knew from the start
I was gonna love you with all my heart
Take my hand now
And i'm ready to begin
Though it makes me crazy
When your fingers touch my skin
And I know what you want
And you know what I need
There's no reason to pretend that we dont know what this means
Cause when the night closes in
I'm gonna pull you so close
Hold you so tight
Gonna let it all go
And you can do what you want
You can take me right here
Cause I knew from the start
I was gonna love you with all my heart
I'm gonna rock you baby
And take away your maybe
And you can rest here in these open arms yeah
Cause when the night closes in
I'm gonna pull you so close
Gonna hold you so tight
Gonna let it all go
And you can do what you want
You can take me right here
Cause I knew from the start
I was gonna love you with all my heart
ooooo baby
I was gonna love you with all my heart
ooo yeah
I was gonna love you with all my heart
I can feel you watchin
Baby, hold my hand
Show me you're my man
Take me to that land
Where we can get crazy
Cause this old world gets tough
When I've had enough
I need to know your love
Will be here to save me, save me
Let's dance while the lights are shining bright
Let's dance while the music's feeling right
Romance till the night is through
You'll be holding me
Yeah, and I'll be holding you
Let's dance
Wanna feel your touch
You know I love you so much
Maybe with a little love
Our world will turn slower
Cause we've been moving so fast
Seems life is flying past
Can we make this moment
I wanna remember, remember
Let's dance while the lights are shining bright
Let's dance while the music's feeling right
Romance till the night is through
You'll be holding me
Yeah, and I'll be holding you
Let's dance
Oh, let's dance
Oh, baby just say yes
I've got this brand new dress
This night could change our lives forever
Yeah, let's dance
Oh, romance till the night is through
You'll be holding me now
Yeah, and I'll be holding you
Let's dance
Yeah, let's dance
Baby, baby, baby let's dance
Oh, hold me, love me, show me baby
If you ever want my lovin'
There's a few things you should do
Bring me coffee in the early morning
And roses in the afternoon
If you ever want my lovin'
You gotta show me every day
But if you're thinkin' that you won't
And even if you don't
You're gonna get it anyway
Well you're kickin' up your heels on the dance floor
With every pretty girl but me
You've been ignorin' me all night
And I'm likin' your strategy
Well I know you're tryin' to make me jealous
But I ain't gonna fuss or fret
'Cause baby I've got your number
You're justa playin' hard to get
If you ever want my lovin'
There's a few things you should do
Bring me coffee in the early morning
And roses in the afternoon
If you ever want my lovin'
You gotta show me every day
But if you're thinkin' that you won't
And even if you don't
You're gonna get it anyway
You won't admit to your buddies that you like me
It's cute the way you're actin' tough
But this little game you're playin'
Has gone about far enough
If you ever want my lovin'
There's a few things you should do
Bring me coffee in the early morning
And roses in the afternoon
If you ever want my lovin'
You gotta show me every day
But if you're thinkin' that you won't
And even if you don't
You're gonna get it anyway
Yes, if you're thinkin' that you won't
And even if you don't
I remember the windows rolled down and the wind in my hair
Driving 'round in your Daddy's old Chevy
Like we were going somewhere
We thought that summer would last us forever
Going steady was just something you do
I didn't know much about love
I learned that from you
Now those were some good times
Lately they don't seem to last
I guess I'm not nearly as strong as a drink in your glass
And the nights just get later
I can stay up and wait or just go on to bed like I do
I never knew nothing about lonely
I learned from that you
And I learned how to kiss on a ferris wheel
And I made wishes at wishing wells
And I fell into that fairytale too
And I know that love ain't so easy
But we tried, didn't we baby
It's alright
Some dreams weren't meant to come true
I learned that from you
One night while the whole world was turning
I left you a note
And I told you that I'd always miss you
Then I let you go
I'm living outside of some town I ain't heard of
And I think about the boy I knew
I didn' t know you could fall out of love
I learned that from you
And I learned how to kiss on a ferris wheel
And I made wishes at wishing wells
And I fell into that fairytale too
And I know that love ain't so easy
But we tried, didn't we baby
It's alright
Some dreams weren't meant to come true
I learned that from you
I remember the windows rolled down
Back when I was young
Couldn't wait to grow up
Get away and get out on my own
And looking back now
Ain't it funny how
I've been trying to get back home, yeah
When my low self esteem
Needs a man loving me
And I find me a perfect catch
Then I see my friends
Having wild weekends
Then I don't wanna get quite so attached
Just as soon as I get what I want
I get unsatisfied
Good is good but could be better
I keep looking, I keep looking for
I keep looking for something more
I always wonder what's on the other side
Of the number two door
I keep looking
Looking for something more
Well, the straight haired girls
They all want curls
And the brunettes wanna be blonde
It's your typical thing
You got ying you want yang
It just goes on and on
They say, hey, it's only human
To never be satisfied
Well I guess that I'm as human as the next one
Oh, I keep looking
I keep looking for
I keep looking for something more
I always wonder what's on the other side
Of the number two door
Yeah, I keep looking
Looking for something more
Just as soon as I get what I want
I get unsatisfied
Hey, good is good but could be better
I keep looking
I keep looking for
I keep looking for something more
I always wonder what's on the other side
Of the number two door
I keep looking
Looking for something more
When I look at you
I see the souls of our unborn children
If I reach for you
Will you take my hand
Are you willing
You turn more than the music on
But will you be there by my side at the dawn
Then I'll say
All right, I give in
I will dance with you just this one time
And all night
We will turn and spin
Then stand eye to eye at the sunrise
And you offer love
And it all begins when I say
All right, I give in
If I sing for you
Would it be the sweetest sound you've ever heard
And if I pray for you
Will you know that I believe in every word
You build me a house on stone
Will you promise me I'm never gonna be alone
Then I'll say...
You turn more than the music on
But will you be there by my side at the dawn
Lying here with you
Listening to the rain
Smiling just to see
Smile upon your face
These are the moments
I thank God that I'm alive
These are the moments
I'll remember all my life
I've found all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more
Looking in your eyes
Seeing all I need
Everything you are
Is everything to me
These are the moments
I know heaven must exist
These are the moments
I know all I need is this
I've found all I've waited for, yeah
And I could not ask for more
I could not ask for more
Than this time together
Could not ask for more
Than this time with you
And every prayer has been answered
Every dream I had has come true
Yeah, right here in this moment
Is where I'm meant to be
Here with you, here with me, yeah, yeah
These are the moments
I thank God that I'm alive
These are the moments
I'll remember all my life
I've found all I've waited for, yeah
And I could not ask for more
I could not ask for more
Than this time together
Could not ask for more
Than this time with you
Every prayer has been answered
Every dream I had has come true
Yeah, right here in this moment
Is where I'm meant to be
Oh, here with you, here with me
No, I could not ask for more
Than this love you give me
'Cause it's all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more
No, oh
Yeah, yeah
No, I could not ask for more
It's been so long
I should be used to this by now
Loneliness that keeps coming back around
The moon on my window casts a different light
On all these memories that keep me up tonight
Hey, I know just what I need
That's you and in a hurry
If I got on the road right now
I'd see you at four thirty
Hey, I think I have about
Sixty miles of gasoline left in my car
There's an all night truck stop
Yeah, I bet I could get that far
I can close my eyes and smell coffee in the air
I'll fill my cup, if you'll wait up
I'll soon be there
Hey, I'm letting go
So baby don't you worry
Wheels on ground
I won't slow down
I'll see you at four thirty
Hey, I..yeah
Hey, I won't allow my mind
To talk me out of this
Past every exit sign
Cause that's the way it is
Hey, I'm letting go
So baby don't you worry
Wheels on ground
I won't slow down
I'll see you, yeah
Hey, I know just what I need
That's you and in a hurry
Oh, wheels on ground, I won't slow down
Use to think that I would be so sad.
If you ever walked away.
Use to think I needed you so bad.
Did I say that I'd never leave you behind?
Well, just keep treating me unkind 'cause fool I'm a woman and I'm bound to change my mind.
With a woman it's imperative you show her that you love her.
If you don't it's her prerogative to change like the weather.
I'm seeing the signs.
You know I use to think love was blind.
Well, fool I'm a woman and I'm bound to change my mind.
You use to tell me so many nights.
You don't deserve me.
Well, maybe you were right.
Yesterday you offered me the world.
Did you think I'd take it?
Now you treat me like some silly girl.
Yeah, and that's where I'm drawing the line.
You know I use to think you were so fine.
Well, fool I'm a woman and bound to change my...
Well, fool I'm a woman and I'm about to change my...
Well, fool I'm a woman and I just changed my mind.
Way out here working on the docks
Everyone sees the long day through
Oh, what would I do
Without the nights and the phone
And the chance just to talk to you
Oh, what would I do now
Just to talk to you
A thousand miles away
What I wouldn't give for only one night
A little relief in sight
Or someday when times weren't so tight
When the day goes down on the water town
When the sun sinks low all around
That's when I know I need you now
Yeah, you're what I miss
Every little kiss
Every little one, every little one
Everybody here's a number, not a name
But I guess that's alright with me
As I sit alone after a long day
In the absence of company
Oh, I let my mind wander
A thousand miles away
What I wouldn't give for only one night
A little relief in sight
Or someday when times weren't so tight
When the day goes down on the water town
When the sun sinks low all around
That's when I know I need you now
Yeah, you're what I miss
Every little kiss
You said when I broke your heart that I'd regret it
No one else would love me half as much as you
Well I wish I'd listened closer when you said that I'd be blue
'Cause missin' you is all I ever do
Even now I catch myself daydreaming
'Bout the nights when it was candlelight and wine
Even now I get that empty feelin'
And that's all that it takes, I feel my heart start to break
So darlin', guess that makes us even now
Well I laid awake in bed last night rehearsin'
What I'd say if we should meet by chance
I'd tell you now that I'm the one who's hurtin' over you
And I'd give anything to have you back
Even now I catch myself daydreaming
'Bout the nights when it was candlelight and wine
Even now I get that empty feelin'
And that's all that it takes, I feel my heart start to break
So darlin', guess that makes us even now
Oh, if I could turn back time, you would still be mine
Why should we wait
Till we find out where we're goin'?
The perfect job, the perfect house
The perfect life we've prayed about
I don't know about you but I think
That we got everything we need
And all I want is to be loved desperately
Like the sun loves the moon
And the moon adores the shore
And they dance back and forth
Just like you and me
The whole world wants to be loved
Desperately, desperately
Babe, I believe that everyday is a crossroad
We can take the right fork, take the left
Just as long as we move ahead
Just as long as you promise
That you'll always be with me
'Cause all I want is to be loved
To be loved desperately
Like the sun loves the moon
And the moon adores the shore
And they dance back and forth
Just like you and me
The whole world wants to be loved
Desperately, desperately
I wanna grow old with you
I wanna have your babies too desperately
Like the sun loves the moon
And the moon adores the shore
And they dance back and forth
Just like you and me
The whole world wants to be loved
Desperately, desperately
The whole world wants to be loved
Desperately
The whole world wants to be loved
Desperately
Tell Cupid not to point that thing at me
One more hole in my poor heart is just what I don't need
I've been teased by a fake
Burned by love
And left by destiny
So for my hearts sake tell Cupid wait
Don't point that thing at me
A boy and girl
That's where it starts
And then oh cupid, well he goes right for the heart
Yeah I've been hit a time or two
But what got me turned out to be just passing through
So tell Cupid not to point that thing
One more hole in my poor heart is just what I don't need
Well teased by a fake
Burned by a love
And left by destiny
So for my hearts sake tell Cupid wait
Don't point that thing at me
True love I saw and finally found
That I'm better off just doing without
Oh its a real cold shot, yeah its a deadly curse
That goes from a good love to bad love
And heartache at its worse
So tell Cupid not to point that thing
One more hole in my poor heart is just what I don't need
Well teased by a fake
Burned by a love
And left by destiny
So for my hearts sake tell Cupid wait
Shotgun houses, shanty shacks
Countin' those ties on the railroad track
Thirty-four more, it's almost time
To see my baby walking out of that
Coalmine, covered with dust
T-shirt tired, all muscled up
All mine, head to toe
Come on, come on, whistle, blow
I can't wait to get him home
Ain't gonna have nothing but the supper on
Gonna keep him busy 'til its time
He goes back to that coalmine
Some girls like them gussied up
Wearing all that smelly stuff
To me there's nothing quite so fine
As my man standing in front of that
Coalmine, covered with dust
T-shirt tied, all muscled up
All mine, head to toe
Come on, come on whistle, blow
Power's out, well that's all right
We'll make love by a miner's light
Gonna keep him busy 'til its time
He goes back to that coalmine
Shotgun houses, shanty shacks
Countrin' those ties on the railroad track
Just two more, it's almost time
To see my baby walking out of that
Coalmine, covered with dust
T-shirt tied, all muscled up
All mine, head to tow
Come on, come on whistle, blow
Don't want no white-collared man
Midnight, I like calloused hands
To keep me busy 'til its time
He goes back to that coalmine
I can't wait to get him home
Ain't gonna have nothing but the supper on
Power's out, well that's all right
We'll make love by a miner's light
Don't want no white-collared man
Midnight, I live calloused hands
To keep me bust 'til its time
You say your every day
Is a bad dream that keeps repeatin'
Maybe you should've thought about that
When you were cheatin'
How do you like that furnished room, the bed, the chair, the table
The TV picture comes and goes, too bad you don't have cable
How do you like that paper plate, and those pork-n-beans you're eatin'
Maybe you should've thought about that
When you were cheatin'
How do you like that beat up car, I think it's fair we traded
Your pick up truck is running fine, it's a cozy ride for datin'
Yes, I've been out a time or two, and found the comfort I've been needin
Maybe you should've thought about that
When you were cheatin'
You made your bed and your out of mine
You lie awake and I sleep just fine
You've done your sowing, now you can do the reaping
Maybe you should've thought about that
When you were cheatin'
Now what became of what's her name, after she spent all your money
Did she leave you just like you left me, well sometimes life is funny
Yes I'll be glad to take you back, just as soon as I stop breathin
Maybe you should've thought about that
Oh, maybe you should've thought about that
Maybe you should've thought about that
When you were cheatin'
No stranger in this town
Nobody moves without making a sound
You live and die within the borders and lines
No one dies without paying their fines
No lovers in this town
The moon's full but it sure ain't round
And just because you lie in his bed
Don't mean he meant the things he said
They marry young in these parts
They work the factories
So I ran as fast as I could
Through the tall grass and the midnight woods
So no one would sing some bible song over me
My cousin died in his sleep
Forty pilss, two kids to keep
And how will she explain to those kids
About the sorry thing daddy did
They marry young in these parts
They raise their kids and set them free
So I ran as fast as I could
Through the tall grass and the midnight woods
So no one would sing some bible song over me
They buried him out in the cold
He was only twenty-four years old
How his mother came undone
When the choir sang hallelujah
I ran as fast as I could
Through the tall grass and the midnight woods
I ran as fast as I could
Through the tall grass and the midnight woods
Hallelujah Hallelujah - ahh
Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah
She wore a dress with cherries on it
Going somewhere where she'd be wanted
In a town this small all they do is talk
No wedding ring, chipped fingernail polish
She always wished that she could go to college
But some dreams fade, they just slip away
She started to show a few months ago
And she had to go, that's how she wound up
On the backseat of a Greyhound bus
Head hung down with the windows up
Staring at the rest of her life
She never thought this would be the place
Where she would find her saving grace
But she fell in love, she fell in love
On the backseat of a Greyhound bus
The moon was full, the stars were smilin'
God has a funny sense of timin'
The baby came on the interstate
Somewhere between Jackson and Memphis
She finally found what she had been missin'
She cried and laughed while the red lights flashed
Sweet baby girl, she looked into the face of a new
The face of a brand new world
On the backseat of a Greyhound bus
Heart so full that it could bust
Staring at the rest of her life
She never thought this would be the place
Where she would find her saving grace
But she fell in love, she fell in love
On the backseat of a Greyhound bus
Sweet baby girl, she found a brand new world
She wore a dress with cherries on it
I love the way you wear those worn out blue jeans
Walkin' all around in the big sunshine
Baby, let me believe that you're perfect
At least for a little while
And you don't have to tell me what you're thinkin'
You can keep all that to yourself
Baby, we got such a good thing goin'
Don't show me that you're someone else
'Cause I'm actin' as if this blue sky's
Never gonna rain down on me
I'm tellin' myself this true love's
Never gonna leave me lonely
Unless there's somethin' I've missed
I'm actin' as if
(As if, as if, as if)
(As if, as if, as if)
We don't have to have that conversation
Baby, don't you think it's goin' fine?
We don't need to send out invitations
To tell the world that you're mine
'Cause I'm actin' as if this blue sky's
Never gonna rain down on me
I'm tellin' myself this true love's
Never gonna leave me lonely
Unless there's somethin' I've missed
I'm actin' as if
As if your sweet kiss is never gonna fade away
And the way you look at me will never change
'Cause I love the way you wear those worn out blue jeans
Walkin' all around in the big sunshine
'Cause I'm actin' as if this blue sky's
Never gonna rain down on me
And I'm tellin' myself this true love's
Never gonna leave me lonely
I'm actin' as if this blue sky's
Never gonna rain down on me
I'm tellin' myself this true love's
Never gonna leave me lonely
Unless there's somethin' I've missed
Unless there's somethin' I've missed
I'm actin' as if
(As if, as if, as if)
Ooh yeah
(As if, as if, as if)
Oh I'm actin' as if
(As if, as if, as if)
Hey, you and me baby
We're flying on a wing a prayer
Can't tell you where we're going
I just know that we're gonna get there
Got all that we need in a cart in a checkout line
Hey, I'll bag while you scan
I bet we beat the traffic in time
Top down, now you're singin'
It's such a beautiful day
I don't care what you're thinking
Baby, put your map away
'Cause we can go anywhere
Yeah, we can go anywhere
I don't care
California, Mississippi, all the way to New York City
As long as you ride shotgun with me
Anywhere
Love will get us there
Tell your boss maybe you'll come back
And maybe you won't
Well, in life sometimes people take chances
Most times they don't
Don't wanna sit on the side of the road
While our dreams pass me by
I'm sick of livin' my life in park
I wanna live in it drive
'Cause we can go anywhere
Yeah, we can go anywhere
I don't care
California, Mississippi, all the way from New York City
As long as you ride shotgun with me
Anywhere
Love will get us there
Anywhere
Yeah, we can go anywhere
I don't care
California, Mississippi, all the way to New York City
As long as you're riding shotgun with me
Anywhere
Yeah, we can go anywhere
Oh, we can go anywhere
Thank you for the roses that you sent me-
They're beautiful
And you asked me to think of you,
You know I will
Your note just said "I'm sorry, please forgive me"
I always do, but I have to let you know the way I feel:
I left you this mesage so you'd know
Sometimes loving me just means leaving me alone
So please don't call everytime you think of me
'Cause I need some time alone to kill this pain
You should know that I don't give up easily
But sometimes for things to grow, they need some rain
And sometimes loving me just means leaving me alone
I left you this mesage so you'd know
To not come by everytme you miss me
'Cause I need some time alone to kill this pain
You should know that I don't give up easily
But sometimes for things to grow, they need some rain
And sometimes loving me just means leaving me alone
Woke up late today and I still feel the sting of the pain
But I brushed my teeth anyway
I got dressed through the mess and put a smile on my face
I got a little bit stronger
Riding in the car to work and I'm trying to ignore the hurt
So I turned on the radio, stupid song made me think of you
I listened to it for minute but I changed it
I'm getting a little bit stronger, just a little bit stronger
And I'm done hoping that we could work it out
I'm done with how it feels, spinning my wheels
Letting you drag my heart around
And, oh, I'm done thinking that you could ever change
I know my heart will never be the same
But I'm telling myself I'll be okay
Even on my weakest days
I get a little bit stronger
Doesn't happen overnight but you turn around
And a month's gone by and you realize you haven't cried
I'm not giving you a hour or a second or another minute longer
I'm busy getting stronger
And I'm done hoping that we can work it out
I'm done with how it feels, spinning my wheels
Letting you drag my heart around
And, oh, I'm done thinking, that you could ever change
I know my heart will never be the same
But I'm telling myself I'll be okay
Even on my weakest days, I get a little bit stronger
I get a little bit stronger
Getting along without you, baby
I'm better off without you, baby
How does it feel without me, baby?
I'm getting stronger without you, baby
And I'm done hoping we could work it out
I'm done with how it feels, spinning my wheels
Letting you drag my heart around
And, oh, I'm done thinking that you could ever change
I know my heart will never be the same
But I'm telling myself I'll be okay
Even on my weakest days
I get a little bit stronger
I get a little bit stronger
Just a little bit stronger
A little bit, a little bit, a little bit stronger
Every day we walk right past
All the concrete and the glass
I don't know where we're going
I hardly ever see your face
And there's not enough space
For all the love we should be growing
Chorus:
We just need a little earth to stand on
Plant our hearts on solid ground
Turn the lights out on this city
And wake up in a new hometown
We'll stand out in our front yard
Where we can finally breathe
If we find a little earth to stand on
Baby you and me
Imagine Friday football games
Where everybody knows our names
They even stop to say hello
I bet they'll have a town parade
Kids selling lemonade
Baby, don't you wanna go, ohhhh
Repeat chorus
Bridge:
I don't want to face tomorrow
If we don't leave this place tonight
I've never been more sure
Of anything in my life
All we need's a little earth to stand on
Plant our hearts on solid ground
Turn the lights out on this city
And wake up in a new hometown
Stand out in our front yard
Where we can finally breathe
If we find a little earth to stand on
Baby you and me
Need a little earth to stand on
Plant our hearts on solid ground
Turn the lights out on this city
And wake up in a new hometown
We'll dance out in our front yard
Underneath a maple tree
If we find a little earth to stand on
Across a crowded room
I can't keep my eyes off you
You take my breath away
Looking at me now
I know what you are thinking about
You are thinking about the way
You woke me up this morning and made sweet love to me
Oh baby
I love the way you touch me
You know my body so well
You do much more than love me
'til I'm overwhelmed
Wrapped up inside of you is where I want to be
Because no body knows
No body knows
No body knows the secrets that we keep
Once we get inside these four walls
All the hesitation falls
We can't wait no more
As you help me get undressed you don't have to guess
Baby you know what I want
I want to love you til the sun comes up
Til I am sure you are satisfied
Oh baby
I love the way you touch me
You know my body so well
You do much more than love me
'til I'm overwhelmed
Wrapped up inside of you is where I want to be
Because no body knows
The secrets that we keep, yeah.
Ohh, Wrapped up inside of you
Is where I want to be
'Cause no body knows
No body knows
No body knows
No body knows
Come tell me something new about you baby
I've been wondering if there's something
I can do for you
you and me may not always agree on the little things
But I am open always, hoping, you'll come tell me
I have loved you from the moment you touched me
Through the hard times and the sunshine
I have loved you
Come lay down, let's be found
Sing me a love song
I wanna stay right here in your arms through the night
I don't wanna be selfish
I wanna give you anything you want from me
So tell me
Put your heart ou, lay it all out on the line
Let me take it while we're making love tonight
You're the one thing in my life that stays the same
Through all the seasons
Everlasting, never changing
I'm a bee charmer for you baby
I get you honey if you've got the taste
A little sting now and then, well it does not bother me, no
I don'e mind no king bee buzzin' around my face
Go with you anyway the wind blows
Straight through the fire into the unknown
Follow the feelin'
'Cause I know it's supernatural...
Yeah, supernatural
I'm a snake handler from the mountains
I sing them rattlers off to sleep, yeah
And if my baby says he needs healin'
There's no fever too hot, no cut too deep
I'm a rainmaker in the desert
I dance and coax the clouds to cry
To put the bloom back in baby's meadow
I'll flood the faith back into your eyes
Go with you anyway the wind blows
Straight through the fire into the unknown
Follow the feelin'
'Cause I know it's supernatural...
Supernatural, baby
Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on, go with it baby
Supernatural, yeah
Ooo, come on, come on, come on, come on, go with it baby
He was just a boy of seventeen
And I was older by a year
And we spent everything we ever made
To get away from here
We got married in the winter time
At the Open Doors Cafe
No matter how he tried, he couldn't fine the peace of mind to stay
All the glitter out in Hollywood
All the stars that never shine
They can't hold a candle to your wind
Could you roll me, roll me back in time
Got a job and worked the early shift
I spent hours by the phone
Promises are easy to forget
When there's too much time alone
You've got something they can't argue with
That's what all the people say
He's just wating for the obvious
His star is on his way, any day
Just this side of sunrise,
you can feel it in the air
That something's bound to happen
It's just right there
Everyboyd loves you, it's so easy to see
But it's only, yeah, it's only in your dreams
I'm gonna do it darlin'...
I could waste time tryin' the figure it out,
But I'm jumpin' in anyhow.
I've never been this far;
Didn't know love could run so deep...
Didn't know I'd lose this much sleep.
Holdin' you close, chasin' that moon.
Spendin' all night,
Lovin' just who you are...
Sparks flyin' in the dark.
Shootin' out lights, huntin' down dreams,
Figurin' out what love really means...
Baby, givin' you my heart,
Is a real fine place to start.
Somethin' is goin' on,
I can't explain but sure can touch...
It's callin' both of us.
Stronger than any fear or doubt,
It's changin' everything I see...
It's changin' you, it's changin' me.
Holdin' you close, chasin' that moon.
Spendin' all night,
Lovin' just who you are...
Sparks flyin' in the dark.
Shootin' down lights, runnin' down dreams,
Figurin' out what love really means...
Baby, givin' you my heart,
Is a real fine place to start.
Right here, right now's the perfect spot, the perfect time.
The perfect moment when your skin is next to mine.
Yeah, yeah...
Holdin' you close, (Holdin' you close.)
Chasin' that moon. (Chasin' that moon.)
Spendin' all night,
Lovin' just who you are...
Sparks flyin' in the dark.
Shootin' out lights, (Shootin' down lights.)
Runnin' down dreams, (Runnin' down dreams.)
Figurin' out just what love really means...
Baby, givin' you my heart's a real fine place,
Real fine place to start.
Oh yeah.
What's this your kiss
Is as cold as fallen snow
And your eyes cannot disguise
There's a secret in your soul
Well did you think that I
Was born yesterday
Well I may be blind
But I can hear what you won't say
I feel it comin'
I feel it comin' on
I feel it comin' on
This love is dead and gone
I know it won't be long
I feel it comin' on
A cold spell in hell
That's when I take you back
If you have been untrue
There's nothing left to do but pack your bags
And sleep in the bed that you made
And you'll wake up cryin'
Callin' out my name, my name
Comin' on like the morning sun
Like a summer rain
Like the river runs
Like the ocean waves
Like the stormy sea
Like the flood of tears
I've got a tiger by the tail
It's plain to see
I won't be much when you get through with me
Well, I'm a losing weight and a turnin' mighty pale
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
Well, I thought the day I met you
You were meek as a lamb
Just the kind to make my dreams and plans
But now the pace we're livin'
Takes the wind from my sail
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
I've got a tiger by the tail
It's plain to see
I won't be much when you get through with me
Well, I'm a losing weight and a turnin' mighty pale
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
Every night you drag me where
The bright lights are found
There ain't no way to slow you down
I'm about as helpless as a leaf in a gale
And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
I've got a tiger by the tail
It's plain to see
I won't be much when you get through with me
Well, I'm a losing weight and a turnin' mighty pale
I never wanted to, but I said goodbye to you
It happens, people change
Sometimes their dreams go separate ways
They say all good things must end
Still someday I thought I'd see your face again
I understand, I realize
It was the end of all those nights
(With) you here in my arms, just the pounding of two hearts
Now that's all gone with the wind
Still someday I thought I'd see your face again
(Oh) I've gotta phone, but no way to get a hold of you
I've got a letter, no address that I can send it to
Tonight I'll look out to the stars
Can't help but wonder where you are
So much space and time between all those used to be's
I know life goes on, but then
Still someday I thought I'd see your face again
I know life goes on, but then
Do me right don't do me wrong
Treat me nice or I'll be gone
I know where to find the door
Ain't gonna play the crying game no more
Ain't gonna play the crying game no more
Tell me truth don't tell me lies
Don't wanna hear no alibis
I've been down that road before
Ain't gonna play the crying game no more
Ain't gonna play the crying game no more
Give me love I can believe in
Give me love I'm able to trust in
Show me you are ready and willing
To stand by me like I stand by you
Bring me joy don't bring me pain
I've seen enough of the pooring rain
Show me love's what your living for
Ain't gonna play the crying game no more
Ain't gonna play the crying game no more
Give me love I can believe in
Give me love I'm able to trust in
Show me you are ready and willing
To stand by me like I stand by you
Do me right don't do me wrong
Treat me nice or I'll be gone
I know where to find that door
Ain't gonna play the crying game no more
Ain't gonna play the crying game no more
Ain't gonna play the crying game no more
F/ Martina McBride, Kenny Chesney, Brooks And Dunn
(Phil Vassar/Julie Woods)
Phil: A little boy eight years old
In a semi-circle, eyes aglow
Our teacher told us stories every day
Kenny: Huck Finn on the Mississippi
Fire breathin' dragons
With my friends with me
From our homeroom to the Milky Way
We were lost among the pages
And in the voice of Mrs.Davis, she said
Words are your wheels
To take you anywhere you feel
Phil: Where you can laugh or you can cry
And let your imagination fly
Let it lead you where it will
Sara: Your mind is an automobile
And words are your wheels
Phil There's an old man with all he's done
In his 98 laps around the sun
Somehow he never learned to read or write
B&D;: And there's a kind soul who's had the pleasure
Of helping him tie the words together
It's never too late to change a life
Now there's a smile on his face
And there's a young heart standing in his place
Words are your wheels
To take you anywhere you feel
Where you can laugh or you can cry
Let your imagination fly
Let it lead you where it will
Your mind is an automobile
And words are your wheels
Martina:Don't need a rocketship, no red balloon to take a trip
The pages on your fingertips alone
Will take you where you want to go
Phil: Words are you wheels
Words are your wheels
To take you anywhere you feel
Where you can laugh and you can cry
Let your imagination fly
Let it take you where it will
Sara: Your mind is an automobile
And words are your wheels
Phil: Words are you wheels
Sara: Words are you wheels
Phil: Words are your wheels
Sara: Oh,words are your wheels
Well you say your every day
Is a bad dream that keeps repeating
Maybe you should have thought about that
When you were cheating
How do you like that furnished room
The bed, the chair, the table
The T.V. picture comes and goes
Too bad you dont have cable
How do you like that paper plate
And those Pork-N-Beans your eatin'
Maybe you should have thought about that
When you were cheating
How do you like that beat up car
I think it's fair we traded
Your pickup truck is runnin' fine
It's a cozy ride for dating
Yes I've been out a time or two
And found the comfort I've been needing
Maybe you should have thought about that
When you were cheating
You made your bed, and your out of mine
You lie awake, and I sleep just fine
You done your sowin', now you can do the reepin'
Maybe you should have thought about that
When you were cheating
Now what became with what's her name
After she spent all your money
Did she leave you just like you left me
Well sometimes life is funny
Yes, I'd be glad to take you back
Just as soon as i stop breathing
Maybe you should have thought about that
Maybe you should have thought about that
Maybe you should have thought about that
When you were cheating
When you were cheating
If I had a weakness
You sure found it tonight
Some hidden desperation
You saw floatin' in my eyes
Moments just like these baby
Wrong can feel so right
And I don't wanna go home tonight
I've held it all together
As long as I can
There's pieces of me fallin'
Right into your hands
And don't the lies come easy baby
When the truth just ain't worth the fight
No I, I don't wanna go home tonight
So lay me down easy
And hold on tight
And tell me I'm the only one you see tonight
Lonely woman, lonely man
There's just some things only lonely understands
I might be just a sinner
Who wants to be a saint
One justifies the reason
Oh, one understands the pain
And I don't know what's wrong baby
And I sure don't know what's right
These days seem like years
When the nights are spent in tears
Tomorrow seems a lifetime away
These days, these days
Ever since you said good-bye
The hands on the clock just take their time
I wonder if they always will
Cause the minute that you left me
Time stood still
These days seem like years
When the nights are spent in tears
Tomorrow seems a lifetime away
These days, these days
The pillow where you used to dream
Is right where you left it
When you loved me
Will I touch your face again
I'll keep hoping but until then
These days seem like years
When the nights are spent in tears
Tomorrow seems a lifetime away
These days, these days
Oh tomorrow seems a lifetime away
Lying here with you
Listenin' to the rain
Smilin' just to see
The smile upon your face
These are the moments
I thank God that I'm alive
These are the moments I'll remember all my life
I've found all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more
Looking in your eyes
Seein' all I need
Everything you are
Is everything in me
These are the moments
I know heaven must exist
These are the moments
I know all I need is this
I've found all I've waited for, yeah
And I could not ask for more
I could not ask for more than this time together
Could not ask for more than this time with you
And every prayer has been answered,
Every dream I've had's come true.
Yeah, right here in this moment,
Is right where I'm meant to be,
Here with you, Here with me ... yeah yeah
These are the moments
I thank God that I'm alive
These are the moments
I remember all my life
I found all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more
I could not ask for more than this time together
Could not ask for more than this time with you
And every prayer has been answered,
Every dream I've had's come true.
Yeah, right here in this moment,
Is right where I'm meant to be,
Oh Here with you, Here with me.
No I could not ask for more than this love you gave me,
Cause it's all I've waited for,
And I could not ask for more.
No, yeah yeah yeah
No I could not ask for more
Huh-ah Huh-ah Huh-ah Huh-ah yea-h
I can't imagine any greater fear
Than waking up without you here
Though the sun would still shine on
My whole world would all be gone
But not for long
If I had to run, if I had to crawl
If I had to swim a hundred rivers
Just to climb a thousand walls
Always know that I will find a way
To get to where you are
There's no place that far
It wouldn't matter why we're apart
Lonely miles or two stubburn hearts
Nothing short of God above
Could turn me away from your love
I need you that much
If I had to run, if I had to crawl
If I had to swim a hundred rivers
Just to climb a thousand walls
Always know that I will find a way
To get to where you are
There's no place that far
If I Had To Run. If I Had To Crawl
If I Had To Swim a Hundred Rivers
Just To Climb a Thousand Walls
Always Know That I Will Find a Way
To Get To Where You Are
There's No Place That Far
Baby There's No Place... That Far
Sometimes it's hard to don't wanna look over your shoulder
'Cause you don't want to remember where you've been
There'll come a time you die,
If you could only hold her
'Cause I know that's where I am
So listen with all your heart
Hold it inside forever
You may find all your dreams have already come true
Look inside and find the part that's leading you
'Cause that's the beat of a heart
Sometimes you'll drown it out with all your rage and thunder
Sometimes you'll drown it out with all your tears
There'll come a time when you hear it and you'll wonder
"Where in the world have I been?"
So listen with all your heart
Hold it inside forever
You may find all your dreams have already come true
Look inside and find the part that's leading you,
'Cause that's the beat of a heart
No one can tell you how to get there
It's a road you take all by yourself
(All by yourself)
All by yourself
So listen with all your heart
Hold it inside forever
You may find all your dreams have already come true
Look inside and find the part that's leading you
'Cause that's the beat of
Oh it's the sweetest sound,
The rocking horse came
From an old oak tree
Just missed the house
When it was hit by lightning
My daddy painted that horse
A midnight blue
Shooting stars and silver horseshoes
And it was something magic out of something frightening
That's how I live my life
I take it as it comes
And I find the hidden love
When it's pouring down on me
In my mind I see
The rocking horse inside the tree
A broken heart
Means deeper feelings
A thorn in the flesh
Means room for healing
Oh salt in your tears
Can open your eyes
Wounded years
Make you realize
It's just something magic out of something frightening
Things aren't always as they seem
Mother - do not cry for me
All of this is exactly how it's supposed to be
I'm right here. Can you hear my voice?
My life, my love, my Lord....my baby boy
As they nail me to this tree
Just know my Father waits for me
God how can this be your will?
To have your son and my son killed?
Whatever happens...whatever you see...
Whatever your eyes tell you has become of me
This is not...
Not the end...
I am making all things new again
I remember when you were born
In that manger where I first held
You in my arms
So many miracles and lives you've changed
And this world repays you how?
With all this pain
Last night as i slept i saw my life slip away.
Then you were next to me.
I couldn't see you face but i knew that it was you.
Giving me a second chance.
I'll never really understand why i cannot comprehend your love
and grace. Why do i take pride in what i can't control. How can
i claim what isn't really mine? what's the point to my ignorance?
The music that i see. The colors in the air. The breath in my lungs
tonight. Why do i fight with you sometimes? So today i walked down
this road again. I understand nowm some of what you said.
Sometimes I lack the strength I need. BUt you come through, every
time i fail you're there to pick me up, when i need it most.
When i've fallen hard you're there no questions asked.
You lift me up when I am down. Please open my eyes.
Help my understand.
Saints and angels
We’re only human baby
We walk on broken ground
We lose our way
We come unwound
We turn in circles baby
We’re never satisfied
We fall from grace
Forget we can fly
But through all the tears that we cry
We’ll survive
’cause when we’re torn apart
Shattered and scarred
Love has the grace to save us
We’re just two tarnished hearts
But in each others arms
We become saints and angels
I love your imperfections
I love your everything
Your broken heart
Your broken wings
I love you when you hold me
And when you turn away
I love you still
And I’m not afraid
’cause I know you feel the same way
And you’ll stay
’cause when we’re torn apart
Shattered and scarred
Love has the grave to save us
We’re just two tarnished hearts
But in each other’s arm
We become saints and angels
These feet of clay(feet of clay)
They will not stray
’cause when we’re torn apart
Shattered and scarred
Love has the grace to save us
We’re just two tarnished hearts
But in each other’s arms
We become saints and angels

Needs a man lovin’ me

Good is good but could be better

Loneliness that keeps coming back around
The moon on my window
Casts a different light
On all these memories that keep me up tonight

If I got on the road right now
I’d see you at four-thirty

Of gasoline left in my car
There’s an allnight truckstop

Hey I ain’t letting go so baby don’t you worry
Wheels on ground I won’t slow down

You don’t
You don’t know what you do
When you look at me that way
You don’t know how my heart beaks
Every time you say my name
You don’t see all the tears
That I cry in the dark
You don’t hear how I pray
That you’re safe when we’re apart
Every time we kiss you don’t know
How you steal a piece of my soul
You don’t know how it feels
To be the one
Who loves the most
How hard it is not to beg
You to stay then watch you go
Oh you say it’s all in my head
But to me it seems so real
No you don’t know how it feels
Might think you do but you don’t
And every time we kiss you don’t know
How you steal a piece of my soul
You don’t know how it feels
To be the one
Who loves the most
How hard it is not to beg

Every little kiss
Way out here working on the docks
Everybody sees a long day through
Oh what would I do without the nights and the phones
And the chance just to talk to you
Oh what would I do now
Just to talk to you
A thousand miles away
What I wouldn’t give for only one night
A little relief in sight
Some day when times weren’t so tight
When the day goes down on watertown
When the sun sinks lows all around
That’s when I know
I know I need you now
Yeah show what I miss
Every little kiss
Every little one every little one
Everybody here’s a number not a name
But I guess it’s alright by me
I just sit alone after a long day
In the absence of company
Oh and I wonder
A thousand miles away
What I wouldn’t give for only one night
A little relief in sight
Some day when times weren’t so tight
When the day goes down on watertown
When the sun sinks low all around
That’s when I know i
I need you now
Yeah, show what I miss
Every little kiss
Every little one every little one

Baby baby baby let’s dance
Oh hold me love me show me
Baby baby lets dance
Love I haven't seen you in a long time
Since then I ain't been worth a dime
Hasn't been that long
But it feels like years
Last time it could have worked out better
But you know we belong together
Love don't be a stranger round here
You know your way around my heart
But I know you don't see well in the dark
So I leave a light on and you won't get scared
In the morning or even at midnight
You can come on in its all right
Love don't be a stranger
Don't worry bout the danger
Love don't be a stranger round here
Last time you went away
You made me cry, cry, cry
Said I didn't need you anyway
But I lied, lied, lied
Love don't be a stranger
Don't worry bout the danger
Love don't be a stranger round here
Love I'm a little bit smarter
And I'll try a little bit
This time I won't wind up in tears
Love now that we're talking
Maybe you'll come around more often
Love don't be a stranger
Don't worry about the danger
Don't be a stranger round
Last time you went away
You made me cry, cry, cry
Said I didn't need you anyway
But I lied, lied, lied
Love don't be a stranger
Don't worry bout the danger
There's a cold wind howlin' at the trailer door
And the wolf that's been scratchin'
Is coming back for more
This quilt that Mama gave us
Is the only thing between us
And the sunrise
And I don't want to see the light
No, I don't want to see the light
I don't want to see the light of day
Just this once
Will you make it go away
Take this burden from me
Oh, tomorrow will keep
I don't want to see the light of day
'Cause there are bills on the table and they're overdue
And these dreams we've been chasing
Well, they're far from coming true
Oh, I'm not scared of tomorrow
I just need a little more of tonight
And I don't want to see the light
No, I don't want to see the light
I don't want to see the light of day
Just this once
Will you make it go away
Take this burden from me
Oh, tomorrow will keep
I don't want to see the light of day
Oh, take this burden from me
Oh, tomorrow will keep
I don't want to see the light of day
today i sat alone at the window
and i watched our little girl outside at play
with the little boy next door like so many times before
but something didn't seem quite right today
so i went outside to see what they were doing
and then the teardrops made my eyes go deep
cause i heard him name a game
and i hung my head in shame
when i heard our little girl say too him
(chours)
i don't wanna play house
i know it can't be fun
i've watched mommy and daddy and if thats the way it's done
i don't wanna play house it makes my mommy cry
cause when she played house my daddy said good-bye
(repeat chours)
I've been tellin' my dreams to the scarecrow
About the places that I'd like to see
I say, "Friend, do you think I'll ever get there?"
Oh, but he just stands there smilin' back at me
So I confessed my sins to the preacher
About the love I've been prayin' to find
Is there a brown-eyed boy in my future?
And he says, "Girl, you've got nothin' but time"
But how do you wait for heaven?
And who has that much time?
And how do you keep your feet on the ground?
When you know that you were born
You were born to fly
My daddy, he is grounded like the oak tree
My momma, she is steady as the sun
Oh, you know I love my folks, but I keep starin' at the home
Just lookin' for my one chance to run
Hey, cause I will soar away like a blackbird
I will blow in the wind like a seed
I will plant my heart in the garden of my dreams
And I will grow up where I wander wild and free
Oh, how do you wait for heaven?
And who has that much time?
And how do you keep your feet on the ground?
When you know that you were born
You were born, yeah, you were born to fly
So, how do you wait for heaven?
And who has that much time?
And how do you keep your feet on the ground?
When you know that you were born
Give me a sad song that I can hold on to
Anything to set me free
Just one big cry, big tears in my eyes
To wash you away from me
I need a night all by myself
Got some things I need to work out
I got this fever that just won't break
I got some troubles I got to shake
Give me, give me
I know, I know I'm gonna have to cleanse my soul
If I'm ever gonna get back on my way
One night, one night, one dark and lonely night
And then will come a brighter day
Just give me one night, one night, one dark and lonely night
Almost new
That's the way the whole world looks tonight,
thats the way you make me feel and I,
Hope you feel it to.
When new everything can only be alright,
the future cant be anything but bright,
When your world is new.
They tell you when your young,
Your dreams will come undone,
and the tears will fall.
Maybe for once they're wrong,
maybe when love is strong you can have it all,
you cant beat the odds.
Almost new.
Dont ever say the word impossible,
everythings exactly wonderfull.
cuz your world is new..
Way back a million years,
there was a garden here,
they burned it down..
Maybe before were through,
we'll plant a gardenen to,
with this love we've found
on this holy ground.
Almost new..
Anyway thats how it feels tonight,
Everything is gonna be alright.
Cuz its almost new,
Yes it's almost new.
Almooooost neeeeeeeewwwww
I willl remember you.
Will you remeber me?
Don't let your life pass you by.
We've not found all memories.
remember the good times that we had
dont let them slip away from us when things get bad.
Lately I have sawn you smiling in the sun.
now let your words fall upon me like a cleansing malunne.
I willl remember you.
Will you remeber me?
Don't let your life pass you by.
We've not found all memories.
I'm so tired, i can't sleep.
standing on the edge of something much too deep.
funny how i feel so much that i can't say a word.
screaming on the outside and no ones nipples could've heard.
I will remember you.
Will you remeber me?
Don't let your life pass you by.
We've not found all memories.
dibby dum dum dum dum.
dibby dum dum dum dum.
so afraid to love you,
more afraid to loose.
clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose.
once there was a darkness deeper then this night.
gave me everything you had, ohh you gave me life.
I willl remember you.
Will you remeber me?
Don't let your life pass you by.
We've not found all memories.
I willl remember you. (dibby dum dum dum dum.)
Will you remeber me?(dibby dum dum dum dum.)
Don't let your life pass you by.(dibby dum dum dum dum.)
We've not found all memories.
we've not found all memories.
if i live to be a hundred
and never see the living wander
that'll be alright
if i make it to the big leages
if i never win a grammy
i will be just fine
cause i know exactly who i am
CHorus
i am rosemary's grandaughter
spinning image of my father
and when the day is done my momma's still my biggest fan
sometimes I am foolish and I am clumsy
but I have friends that love me
and they know just where i stand
it is all apart of me and that is who i am
so when I make a big mistake
when I fall flat on my face
i will be just fine
should my tender heart be broken
i will cry those tear drops going
i will be alright
cause I know exactly who I am
CHORUS (2x)
I've been on this mountain way too long
The winds blow fiercer when that sun is gone
It got so cold and lonely every night
I just prayed for something warm to melt that ice
Yeah, I was out here freezing
'Til you covered me in feelings
This spark you lit inside me just won't die
Your love's like a wildfire
Running through my heart
Running through my veins
I hope it never rains
Cuz I'm burning in desire
But I don't feel the pain
I'm dancing in the flames
I'll never be the same
Wildfire, wildfire
You can't kill this wildfire
You could be a million miles from me
And I would still be feeling all your heat
'Cuz you're the kind of man you can't escape
And even if you tried to run away
Your love's like a wildfire
Running through my heart
Running through my veins
I hope it never rains
Cuz I'm buring in desire
But I don't feel the pain
I'm dancing in the flames
I'll never be the same
Wildfire, wildfire
You can't kill this wildfire
Wildfire
I was on that mountain way too long
The light was almost out but now it's on
You're love's like a wildfire
Running through my heart
Running through my veins
I hope it never rains
Cuz I'm burning in desire
But I don't feel the pain
I'm dancing in the flames
I'll never be the same
You're love's like a wildfire
And it's running through my heart
Running through my veins
I'll never be the same
Wildfire, wildfire
You can't kill this
Wildfire, wildfire
Why should I care if you found somebody new
And you look like you're in love
And why should I care if she looks a lot like me
And she's all you've ever dreamed of
I didn't care enough to keep you around
So tell me why should I care now
I was the one who let you go
I never told you that I love you
I couldn't promise anything
The way you needed me to
Oh, my heart was never really there
So why should I care
Why should I care?
I just do
So why should I care if
I ain't nothing in your eyes
What you felt for me is gone
Oh, and why would I feel that way
Now that it's too late
To change what I did wrong
Oh, I didn't care enough to keep you around
So baby, tell me, why should I care now
I was the one who let you go
I never told you that I love you
I couldn't promise anything
The way you needed me to
Oh, my heart was never really there
So why should I care
Why should I care?
Well, I just do
Oh, my heart was never really there
So why should I care
Why should I care
I just do
Yeah, I just do
He drove off in his pickup truck
To meet his buddies for a few more beers
I said baby I'll come pick you up
He never called so I waited here
Til all my worst fears came true
And I heard the knock at the door
Telling me he ain't coming back no more
Blue lights flashed and I fell to the floor
And I lost a good man
To a bad habit
He didn't love the whiskey
He just had to have it
If you could put a price tag
On everything that haunts me
Than you'd know
What that drink cost me
Use to be I'd pour it out
Every drop down the kitchen sink
So many nights I'd scream and shout
Even tried to hide his keys
Oh I tried everything
To keep him from going down that road
In my heart just let him go
But you can't stop a hellbent soul
And I lost a good man
To a bad habit
He didn't love the whiskey
He just had to have it
If you could put a price tag
On everything that haunts me
Then you'd know
What that drink cost me
I cried a tear for every drop
That turned a hero into a coward
And I'd give anything
For just one happy hour
Cause I lost a good man
To a bad habit
He didn't love the whiskey
He just had to have it
If you could put price tag
On everything that haunts me
Then you'd know
What that drink cost me
Yes you'd know
What that drink cost me
He drove off in his pickup truck
Ain't got no money
No place to sleep
No one has ever been down as me
I'm just a stranger trouble at my feet
But through all my trials
It occurs to me
There's only one
There's only one
There's only one thing that matters
Its God's love
Now I could worry
About what's ahead
But I keep thinking
What Jesus said
There is a place
That I can go
And there'll be a face
I'll surely know
Cause there's only one
There's only one
There's only one thing that matters
It's God's love
There's only one
There's only one
There's only one thing that matters
It's God's love
There's only one
There's only one
There's only one thing that matters
It's God's love
Yeah there's only one thing matters
The river ran through Howard County
It was the life blood of the land
It make fields of green tobacco
Aching backs and callused hands
Mama talked of a coming battle
That the women folk had to fight
'Cause the good lord owned the daytime
But the devil seemed to own the night
Well, it came up out of nowhere
From a dark and bitter seed
It was the roughest kind of roadhouse
And a most unwanted weed
It drew the men folk like a magnet
The women knew what they had to do
So they put it in the hands of Jesus
'Cause they knew that he'd come through
And the rains came and the river swelled
And the more they prayed the more it fell
When the levies broke everybody saw
The awesome power of God
Then the clouds rolled back and the rainbow came
To bring a brighter day
'Cause when the flood hit Howard County
All the sins were washed away
Now the mothers tell the story
Of the week that the river raged
It's the passing of the wisdom
To the ears of tender age
Better walk the straight and narrow
Better keep a watchful eye
'Cause there's a symbol of the wrath of Heaven
In every dark cloud in the sky
And the rains came and the river swelled
And the more they prayed the more it fell
When the levies broke everybody saw
The awesome power of God
Then the clouds rolled back and the rainbow came
To bring a brighter day
'Cause when the flood hit Howard County
She's got a Rand McAlly map
And a tank full of gasoline
Yeah, love's been heading south
And now she's heading out of New Orleans
She throws her last picture out the window near the Louisiana line
She's somewhere between dreaming and leavin' old feelings behind
As the knot comes untied
Her heart is running scared
She's says a silent prayer
Lord, I'm counting on you to help me get through this night
There's memories like mountains and each one gets harder to climb
As the knot comes untied
On one hand, she wonders if what she is doin' is wrong
'Cause it sure is a long stretch of highway between goin' and gone
She's been down this road a thousand times in her mind
But what's done is done, she won't turn around this time
As the knot comes untied
Her heart is running scared
She's says a silent prayer
Lord, I'm counting on you to help me get through this night
There's memories like mountains and each one gets harder to climb
As the knot comes untied
She's got a Rand McAlly map
I've been trying to break down your walls
But I don't know how to get through
You say that you want me
You say that you need me
But baby, I need more from you
You've gotta take my hand
And lead me to where you are
You know I'll follow
To show me the way to your heart
I know it's hard for you to trust again
But you've just got to believe
I will never lie to you
And I will never hurt you
Baby, I'm asking please
You've gotta take my hand
And lead me to where you are
You know I'll follow
To show me the way to your heart
Think you've locked your heart away
Baby, I hold the key
Believe me when I say
My love can set you free
Take my hand
And lead me to where you are
You know I'll follow
To show me the way to your heart
Take my hand
And lead me to where you are
Baby, you know I'll follow
I'm a leaf on the river
Fallen from the tall oak tree
Drifting down this moving stream
Wherever this life carries me
I'm a tumbleweed
In the desert wind
Just tumblin' while
The sun's shinin'
I have no boundaries
Call me a gypsy
I'm restless
Just ramblin'
What do you do, where do you go
When nowhere feels like home
I'm restless
Am I an angel fallen from heaven's grace
Oh, it feels like that some days and I can't find my place
I guess God just made some of us
To live and die by highway dust
Guess I just have to trust
On the days I'm crawlin'
This is my callin'
Oh, to hold somebody close that cares
Oh, to finally find some roots somewhere
I know someday I'll find that it's out there
But until then I'll just keep movin'
What do you do, where do you go
When nowhere feels like home
Sometimes I wish I could run home to mama's lovin' arms
In the springtime, when the weather's fine
Sittin' with her on the porch, glass of tea and nothin' more
Than her smile, for just a little while
And when I don't know where to go
I think of home and how you use to sing to me, she sang
---Chorus---
Que sera, sera, life goes on
Whatever's meant to be will always be
And baby what don't kill you, will make you strong
Just love the journey that your on
In all you do, I'll pray for you
Wild horses and fairy tales sometimes turn into somethin' else
That you never saw comin' at you at all
So I guess I'm callin' just because he wasnt who I thought he was
And I can't believe he stopped lovin' me
So, when I'm feelin' all alone
I think of home and how you used to sing to me
---Repeat Chorus---
I got babies of my own
And I'm the one that they're countin' on to be here
For every little tear, and I'll sing
I don't want you to come around here no more, I beg you for mercy
You don't know how strong my weakness is, or how much it hurts me
Cause when you say its over with her I want to believe its true
So I let you in knowing tomorrow I'm going to wake up missing you, wake up missing you
When the one you love is in love with someone else
Don't you know its torture I mean its a living hell
No matter how I try to convince myself, this time I wont loose control
One look in your blue eyes and suddenly my heart can't tell you no
I dont want you to call me up no more, saying you need me
Your crazy if you think just half your love could ever please me
Still I want to hold you, touch you, when you look at me that way
Theres only one solution i know of, You've got to stay away from me
Stay away from me
When the one you love is in love with someone else
Don't you know its torture, I mean its a living hell
No matter how I try to convince myself, this time I wont loose control
One look in your sad eyes and suddenly my heart cant tell you no
My heart cant tell you no
I dont want you to come around here no more, I beg you for mercy
When the one you love is in love with someone else
Don't you know its torture, I mean its a living hell
When the one you love is in love with someone else
Don't you know its torture, I mean its living hell, living hell
When the one you love is in love with someone else
My nails are chipped and my hair's in knots
And my jeans are ripped and I just can't stop
Drinking this wine
And I read this Bible and I search for signs
And little whisper that says you're alright
But sometimes...
*Chorus*
I'd like to get through a day without crying
Night without asking why I can't stop thinking about you
Get through a song without thinking
I'm drowning, I'm sinking
Wondering how I'm ever gonna get through
But my feet just keep moving
And I know the truth is
Nobody get through life without losing
You said you love me but you went away
Now I convinced myself it will be okay
But I don't know
Sometimes I think that I'm doing better
Then the night shows up and it drags on forever
And the Devil tells me we'll never be together
And...
*Repeat Chorus*
Someone they love, someone they need
Something they thought was meant to be
Still I just keep on trying to...
*Repeat Chorus*
Imagine me, still loving you
After all you've put me through
Well, I can't help it, I just do
Imagine that and that's not the half
Imagine this if you can
I've stood more, more than I should stand
But I'd still take you back again
Imagine that, ain't that a laugh
Can you believe I'd swallow my pride
Well yes, yes, I guess you can
'Cause you know you've always had my foolish heart
Right in the palm of your hand
So, for what it's worth to you
It just don't matter what you might do
'Cause I'll still be waiting and loving you
Imagine that, ain't that a laugh
So, for what it's worth to you
It just don't matter what you might do
'Cause I'll still be waiting and loving you
