Sometimes I think about you
Wonder if you're out there somewhere thinking 'bout me
And would you even recognize
The woman that your little girl has grown up to be
'Cause I look in the mirror and all I see
Are your brown eyes looking back at me
They're the only thing you ever gave to me at all
Oh, I hear the weather's nice in California
There's sunny skies as far as I can see
If you ever come back home to Carolina
I wonder what you'd say to me
I think about how it ain't fair
That you weren't there to braid my hair like mothers do
You weren't around to cheer me on
Help me dress for my high school prom like mothers do
Did you think I didn't need you here?
To hold my hand, to dry my tears?
Did you even miss me through the years at all?
Oh, I hear the weather's nice in California
There's sunny skies as far as I can see
If you ever come back home to Carolina
I wonder what you'd say to me
Forgiveness is such a simple word
But it's so hard to do when you've been hurt
Oh, I hear the weather's nice in California
And just in case you're wondering about me
From now on I won't be in Carolina
Your little girl is off, your little girl is off
I grew up where I could see the stars
Drinking sweet tea from a mason jar
Dogwood trees like leaves through the pines
People on the porch watchin? fireflies
And drivin? round the Wal-Mart on a Friday night
I?m just a small town girl
And that?s all I?ll ever be
I?m just a small town girl
Hey, that?s alright with me
I?d rather be fishin? with grandpa on the lake
Than gettin? all glamed up fake eyelashes on my face
Cut off jeans and an old ball cap
A town so small you don?t need a map
It's where I?m from and there ain?t no changin? me
I?m just a small town girl
And that?s all I?ll ever be
I?m just a small town girl
Hey, that?s all right with me
I?d rather ride in a Chevy truck than a Ferrari
Give me a cheeseburger, I ain?t eatin? no calamari
I?m just a small town girl
And that?s all I?ll ever be
I?m just a small town girl
Hey, that?s all right with me
Coca-Cola and apple pie, dirt roads and old clothes lines
Familiar faces and dandelion bracelets
You never meet a stranger and everybody helps out
Soft green grass, Sunday school and wild flowers
Drivin?, drivin?, drivin?, drivin? around
I?m just a small town girl
I?m just a small town girl
I?m just a small town girl
I go out walking after midnight
Out in the moonlight just like we used to do
I'm always walking after midnight searching for you
I walk for miles along the highway
Well that's just my way of saying I love you
I'm always walking after midnight searching for you
I stopped to see a weeping willow
Crying on his pillow maybe he's crying for me
And as the skies turn gloomy
Night blooms will whisper to me I'm lonesome as I can be
I go out walking after midnight out in the moonlight
Just hoping maybe you're somewhere walking after midnight searching for me
I stopped to see a weeping willow
Crying on his pillow maybe he's crying for me
And as the skies turn gloomy
Night blooms will whisper to me I'm lonesome as I can be
I'm out walking after midnight out in the moonlight
Just hoping maybe you're somewhere walking after midnight searching for me
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
And the clothes hangin' out on the line
Verse 1
People are talkin, talking ’bout people
I hear them whisper, you won’t believe it
They think we’re lovers kept under covers
I just ignore it, but they keep saying
We laugh just a little too loud
We stand just a little too close
We stare just a little too long
Maybe they’re seeing, something we don’t, darlin’
Chorus
Let’s give them something to talk about
Let’s give them something to talk about
Let’s give them something to talk about
How about love?
Verse 2
I feel so foolish, I never noticed
You’d act so nervous, could you be falling for me?
It took a rumor to make me wonder
Now I’m convinced I’m going under
Thinking ’bout you every day
Dreaming ’bout you every night
Hoping that you feel the same way
Now that we know it, let’s really show it, darlin’
Chorus
Bridge
Let’s give them something to talk about
A little mystery to figure out
Let’s give them something to talk about
How about love, love, love, love?
Chorus
Let’s give them something to talk about
Let’s give them something to talk about
Let’s give them something to talk about
How about love, love, love, love?
Chorus
Here's the thing we started out friends
It was cool but it was all pretend
Yeah yeah
Since U Been Gone
You dedicated you took the time
Wasn't long till I called you mine
Yeah Yeah
Since U Been Gone
And all you'd ever hear me say
Is how I pictured me with you
That's all you'd ever hear me say
But Since U Been Gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on
Yeah, yeah
Thanks to you
Now I get
What I want
Since U Been Gone
How can I put it? You put me on
I even fell for that stupid love song
Yeah, yeah
Since U Been Gone
How come I'd never hear you say
I just wanna be with you
I guess you never felt that way
But Since U Been Gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on
Yeah, yeah
Thanks to you
Now I get (I get) what I want
Since U Been Gone
You had your chance you blew it
Out of sight, out of mind
Shut your mouth I just can't take it
Again and again and again and again
Since U Been Gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on
Yeah, yeah
Thanks to you (thanks to you)
Now I get, I get what I want
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on
Yeah, yeah
Thanks to you (thanks to you)
Now I get (I get)
You should know (you should know)
That I get, I get what I want
Since U Been Gone
Since U Been Gone
Since U Been Gone
There's a boat, I could sail away
There's the sky, I could catch a plane
There's a train, there's the tracks
I could leave and I could choose to not come back
Oh, never come back
There you are, giving up the fight
Here I am begging you to try
Talk to me, let me in
But you just put your wall back up again
Oh, when's it gonna end
How far do I have to go to make you understand
I wanna make this work so much it hurts, but I just can't
Keep on giving, go on living with the way things are
So I'm gonna walk away
And it's up to you to say how far
There's a chance I could change my mind
But I won't, not till you decide
What you want, what you need
Do you even care if I stay or leave
Oh, what's it gonna be
How far do I have to go to make you understand
I wanna make this work so much it hurts, but I just can't
Keep on giving, go on living with the way things are
So I'm gonna walk away
And it's up to you to say how far
Out of this chair, or just across the room
Halfway down the block or halfway to the moon
How far do I have to go to make you understand
I wanna make this work so much it hurts, but I just can't
Keep on giving, go on living with the way things are
So I'm gonna walk away
And it's up to you to say
Yeah I'm gonna walk away
And it's up to you to say how far
How far
Ooohhhh
I remember it all very well lookin' back
It was the summer i turned eighteen
We lived in a one room, rundown shack
On the outskirts of new orleans
We didn't have money for food or rent
To say the least we were hard pressed
And mama'd spent every last penny we had
To buy me a dancin' dress
She said here's your one chance fancy don't let me down
Here's your one chance fancy don't let me down
I knew what i had to do and i made myself this
Solemn vow
I's gonna be a lady someday although i didn't know when or how
But i couldn't see spending the rest of my life
With my head hung down in shame
You know i might have been born just plain white trash
But fancy was my name
She said here's your one chance fancy don't let me down
Here's your one chance fancy don't let me down
Lord, forgive me for what i do
But if you want out well it's up to you
Now don't let me down, no
You mama's gonna move you uptown
Lord, forgive me for what i do
But if you want out well it's up to you
Now don't let me down, no
You mama's gonna move you uptown
But fancy was my name
She loved him like he was
The last man on Earth
Gave hime everything she ever had
He'd break her spirit down
Then come lovin' up to her
Give a little, then take it back
She'd tell him about her dreams
He'd just shoot 'em down
Lord he loved to make her cry
"You're crazy for believin'
You'll ever leave the ground"
He said, "Only angels know how to fly"
And with a broken wing
She still sings
She keeps an eye on the sky
With a broken wing
She carries her dreams
Man you ought to see her fly
One Sunday morning
She didn't go to church
He wondered why she didn't leave
He went up to the bedroom
Found a note by the window
With the curtains blowin' in the breeze
And with a broken wing
She still sings
She keeps an eye on the sky
With a broken wing
She carries her dreams
Man you ought to see her fly
With a broken wing
She carries her dreams
Man you ought to see her fly
When You're Weary Feeling Small
When Tears Are In Your Eyes I Will Dry Them All
I'm On Your Side Oh When Times Get Rough
And Friends Just Can't Be Found
Like A Bridge Over Troubled Water
I Will Lay Me Down
When You're Down And Out When You're On The Street
When Evening Falls So Hard I Will Comfort You
I'll Take Your Part Oh When Darkness Comes
And Pain Is All Around
Like A Bridge Over Troubled Water
I Will Lay Me Down
Like A Bridge Over Troubled Water
I Will Lay Me Down
Sail On Silver Girl Sail On By
Your Time Has Come To Shine All Your Dreams Are On Their Way
See How They Shine Oh When You Need A Friend
Well Look Around I'm Sailing Right Behind
Like A Bridge Over Troubled Water
I Will Ease Your Mind
Like A Bridge Over Troubled Water
I Will Ease Your Mind
Your Mind, Ease Your Mind
I gotta keep moving
Nothin's gonna slow me down
I'm countin on these restless wheels
To get me back to my hometown
I gotta keep moving
I don't wanna miss a thing
I'm doing everything I can
I'm getting back from where I've been
I, I can't wait to see you
Workin on that pickup truck
All covered in oil and dust
I, I can't wait to be with you
Finally just the two of us
In our old jeans and our hair messed up
I can't wait to see you
I gotta keep moving
With the white lines on the highway
Watchin' every mile go by
The silos and the by-ways
Gotta keep moving
Cause it's been way too long
I know I'm getting closer now
I'm finally gonna make it home
I, I can't wait to see you
Workin on that pickup truck
All covered in oil and dust
I, I can't wait to be with you
Finally just the two of us
In our old jeans and our hair messed up
I can't wait to see you
Pretty soon we'll be slow dancing, yeah
You and I, on our own babe
I, I can't wait to see you
Workin on that pickup truck
All covered in oil and dust
I, I can't wait to be with you
Finally just the two of us
In our old jeans and our hair messed up
The bottle took you from me
When I was a child
Robbed me of the love I needed
Robbed me of a smile
I prayed the same prayer every night
Especially for you
After all
That's what little girls do
It didn't happen in an instant
It happened in God's time
You've finally gotten sober
And found some peace of mind
Yeah you faced all your demons
And they finally set you free
With your back the bottle
You're finally facing me
And Dad I want to tell you that
I'm proud of you for never giving up on us
Even in your darkest hour I could still
Feel the power of your love for us
And I know that we'll make up for lost time
As we walk through this world
I love you Daddy
Always, your baby girl
Baby drive down by the lake
You know that old back road
The one that leads right straight
To our old hideout cove
I need to drown out this old world yeah
Turn on the radio and dance
We'll wade up to our ankles
In that old muddy water
I'll let you twirl me around
To some old late night rocker
All the crickets will be singing
Turn on the radio and dance
(Chorus)
Turn on the radio and dance
Turn on the radio and dance
Baby all I wanna do is
Take off these old shoes
Turn on the radio and dance
Maybe we'll call up that DJ
See if he'll play our song
We'll wait until he does it
We'll stay there all night long
Long as I'm there with you
I can hardly wait to
(Repeat Chorus)
Baby drive down by the lake
You know that old back road
The one that leads right straight
To our old hideout cove
I need to drown out this old world yeah
Turn on the radio and dance
I wanna dance with you
Turn on the radio and dance
Baby we used to have somethin' special
But lately you've been ignorin' on the rules
If you think that I don't know what your doin'
You've been runnnin' around and makin' me a fool
[Chorus]
Stop cheatin' on me
It ain't that hard to do
Stop cheatin' on me
Or I'll start cheatin' on you
Now dont think I will sink down to your level
I'm sure there's somwhere there's someone I can hold
I can make my own deal with the devil
And then you'll find out that hell can sure be cold
Stop cheatin' on me
It ain't that hard to do
Stop cheatin' on me
Or I'll start cheatin' on you
[Instrumental]
Stop cheatin' on me
It ain't that hard to do
Stop cheatin' on me
I've been sitting watching our love grow you know
It doesn't seem like it was long ago
When you carved our names in these old chairs of oak
Soakin' up Heaven countin' all the stars
Talkin' 'bout babies how the future ain't so far
I hope they have your brown eyes and forever loving heart
(Chorus)
Don't stop rockin' with me baby
Without you it wouldn't be the same
Don't stop rockin' with me baby rockaway
Just rockaway
The night's like an ocean off of our front porch
We're movin' like waves swayin' back and forth
Right now babe I swear I couldn't love you anymore
(Repeat Chorus)
I whisper this rockin' chair prayer of the night
If yours is ever empty let mine not be far behind
(Repeat Chorus 2x)
Making my way past Tullahoma
Better pick up the pace
I'm traveling with a three ring circus
Headed for Santa Fe
I finally found a radio station
That's keeping me wide awake
And just when I like what I hear playing
Is when it starts fading away
(Chorus)
We're stacking up miles
And slowing down the passing lane
A truckers tan and dirty Ray Bans
Looking for a place to top off the propane
Moving along in this little house on the highway
The cabinet doors keep swinging open
Each time I make a left
The only way I know where I'm going
Is chasing the sun straight west
(Repeat Chorus)
Wheels keep rolling into mountain tops
And the hills are all beginning to rise
You'll know you finally made it there
When the wood is all petrified
Well don't use a brake, pop the clutch and shift those gears
It's no man's land to the Rio Grand
Driving through the sand and we're just out here
(Repeat Chorus)
Little house on the highway
I'm through that pity party stage, the healings finally come of age.
No more feeling sorry for me days, I'm over you.
I think of us, I don't get upset. I'm together as I think I'll ever get.
Losing you I've come to accept, I'm over you.
It's never easy when love comes to an end.
Just when you think you're off the hook, you fall back in.
But I'll be okay, I'll go my way
We can still be friends
I'll be all right, long as I never see you again.
No more tears in these hazel eyes, no more drinking down you nights.
I know good and well I've tried, more than I can say for you.
Yes I've heard that you've moved on, I'm okay not being what you want.
I'm fine with sleeping all alone, more than I can say for you.
It's never easy when love comes to an end.
Just when you think you're off the hook, you fall back in.
But I'll be okay, I'll go my way
We can still be friends
I'll be all right, long as I never see you again.
Please baby, can't you see my mind's a burnin' hell
I got razors a rippin' and tearin' and strippin'
My heart apart as well
Tonight you told me that you ache for something new
And some other woman is lookin' like something
That might be good for you
Go on and hold her 'til the screaming is gone
Go on believe her when she tells you nothing's wrong
But I'm the only one who'll walk across a fire for you
And I'm the only one who'll drown in my desire for you
It's only fear that makes you run
The demons that you're hiding from
When all your promises are gone, I'm the only one
yeah oh yeah
I'm the only one
The little voice in the back of my head
Keeps telling me that I'm not good enough
Not strong enough
The little girl somewhere in my mind
Under the covers
Cause she's too scared of everything
To try anything
She talks all that trash
Tellin' me I should just give up
I look in the mirror, put on my mascara
And tell her to just shut up
[Chorus:]
Cause life's too short
To hate yourself
To try to be someone else
So quit wasting your time
The days go by way too fast
To let anything hold you back
So don't cry anymore
Cause life's too short
To hate yourself
Every cover of every magazine
Makes you feel like you're not thin enough
Not pretty enough
You let a stupid pair of old blue jeans
That don't quite fit ruin your day
And you beat yourself up
You beat yourself up
But blue jeans ain't nothin'
But fabric and buttons
They don't mean a thing
They can't make you beautiful
Baby, you're beautiful
So throw 'em away
[Chorus:]
Cause life's too short
To hate yourself
To try to be someone else
So quit wasting your time
The days go by way too fast
To let anything hold you back
So don't cry anymore
Cause life's too short
To hate yourself
God doesn't make mistakes
Just look at this beautiful day
[Chorus:]
Cause life's too short
To hate yourself
To try to be someone else
So quit wasting your time
The days go by way too fast
To let anything hold you back
So don't cry anymore
Cause life's too short
To hate yourself
To hate yourself
To hate yourself
I wanted lace, I wanted pearls, to be a princess like
The other girls.
But life came hard, to my front door. And I grew up trying
To even out the score.
Tough, I ain't never been nothing but tough, all my edges have
Always been rough.
But jesus loves me anyway.
Oh backbone, there ain't nothing wrong with a woman that
Got a little backbone.
You just wait 'til you taste her kind of love.
You want a shy little thing, a pretty little high heel thing,
Gonna cry if I don't polish up. Tough.
The way I see it, the hand of fate, did me a favor, with
The cards he dealt my way.
Found out real fast, life is a game. You're out real quick if you don't know how to play, tough.
I ain't never been nothing but tough, all my edges have always been rough.
But jesus loves me anyway.
Oh backbone, there ain't nothing wrong with a woman that
Got a little backbone.
You just wait 'til you taste her kind of love.
You want a shy little thing, a pretty little high heel thing,
Gonna cry if I don't polish up.
Are you serious? You ain't fooled me much. You justa hanging round
So you can try your luck.
Well tough, I ain't never been nothing but tough, all my edges has always been rough.
You want a shy little thing, a pretty little high heel thing, gonna cry if I don't polish up.
Every single day it's the same old thing
Wake up every morning do the same routine
Paint my nails and get my hair to curl
Lord it's hard being a girl
I love getting all dressed up to the nines
But sometimes it's fun to be one of the guys
Somethin' 'bout old blue jeans and a baseball cap
Fellas I get it and I admit it, it just don't get any better than that
Chicken wings, NASCAR and football Monday nights
Sometimes it's fun to be one of the guys
I like to put my hair up in a ponytail
Climb up in a pickup and raise some hell
Have a four wheelin' mud boggin' real good time
Then go home and play poker all night long
I still love chick flicks and a real good cry
But sometimes it's fun to be one of the guys
Somethin' 'bout old blue jeans and a baseball cap
Fellas I get it and I admit it, it just don't get any better than that
Chicken wings, NASCAR and football Monday nights
Sometimes it's fun to be one of the guys
Somethin' 'bout old blue jeans and a baseball cap
Fellas I get it and I admit it, it just don't get any better than that
Chicken wings, NASCAR and football Monday nights
Sometimes it's fun to be one of the guys
Sometimes it's fun to be one of the guys
I wanna lay in your bed
Stare in your eyes
Feel your heart beating with mine
One last time, one last time
There won't be any tears
That's not why I'm here
Baby turn out the lights and let's disappear
One last time, one last time
'Cause I'm not here to fight
About who's wrong or right
I just want your kiss
I wanna feel just like this
One last time, one last time
Your breath on my neck
I don't wanna forget the smell of your skin
Touch me again
One last time
'Cause I'm not here to fight
About who's wrong or right
I just want your kiss
I wanna feel just like this
One last time, one last time
And when you fall asleep
I'll kiss your cheek
Whisper goodbye and I'll just leave
People will tell ya that this kind of love will fade
That being in love like this is only a phase
But baby after all this time ain't nothin' changed
All you gotta do is look at me that way
And there you go
Makin' me fall in love again
There you go
Makin' me fall in love again
Oh and I gotta tell ya, there's nothin' better
You and me together, workin' on forever
Everyday with you is always somethin' new
You only gotta be yourself
And there you go
Makin' me fall in love again
Baby sometimes you can say the craziest things
I love how you don't care what nobody thinks
You're highly original, totally in-typical
Never change
All I gotta do is look at your smiling face
And there you go
Makin' me fall in love again
There you go
Makin' me fall in love again
Oh and I gotta tell ya, there's nothin' better
You and me together, workin' on forever
Everyday with you is always somethin' new
You only gotta be yourself
And there you go
Makin' me fall in love again
You're my sunshine, you're my rain
Sure feels good to know you feel the same
I gotta tell ya, there's nothin' better
You and me together, workin' on forever
Everyday with you is always somethin' new
You only gotta be yourself
And there you go
Makin' me fall in love again
There you go
Makin' me fall in love again
There you go
Makin' me fall in love again
Sometimes I think about you and wonder if your out
there somewhere thinking about me.
And would you even recognize, the women that your
little has grown up to be?
Because when I look in the mirror all I see are your
brown eyes looking back at me.
There the only thing that you ever gave to me at all.
Oh I hear the weathers nice in California their sunny
skies as far as I see.
If you ever come back home to Carolina, I wonder what
you'd say to me.
I think about how it ain't fair, that you weren't there
to brade my hair like mothers do you.
You weren't around to cheer me on.
Help me dress for my high school prom like mothers do.
Did you think I didn't need you here, to hold my hand,
to dry my tears?
Have you even missed me though the years at all?
Oh I hear the nice the weathers nice in California.
There are sunny skies as far as I can see.
If you ever come back home to Carolina I wonder what
you'd say to me.
Forgiveness is such a simple word, but it's so hard to
do, when you've been hurt.
Oh I hear the weathers nice in California.
And just in case your wondering about me.
From now on I won't be in Carolina.
Your little girl is off, your little girl is off, your
When my time comes to an end
Don't be sad
Don't you shed one tear
Take me back to the place
I love the most
All my best memories were made
In my time here
Don't be sad or broken hearted
Spread my ashes in the shoe department
Everybody knows that's where I want be
Jimmy choo choo, saks fifth avenue
For all eternity smells like heaven to me
Why be sad when you can smile
If I must go I'm going out in style
Don't be sad or broken hearted
Spread my ashes in the shoe department
Everybody knows that's where I want to be
Jimmy Choo choo, saks fifth avenue
For all eternity smells like heaven to me
Jimmy Choo choo, saks fifth avenue
For all eternity smells like heaven to me
Spoken:
Do you have prada?
Gucci? oh that'll work
Excuse me do you have this in a 6 1/2
Oh you only have 5's left
Oh we'll make it work
Hey do they come in red
Do you have them in a wedge
I'm gonna need at least a 5 inch heel
Hey little girl with your tangled hair, your tattered clothes
You're fifteen and you're about to bloom just like a rose
You're wishing that you had designer jeans
Like the ones you see in magazines
Now I know you'd give anything just to fit in
But your worth ain't on a price tag, it comes from within
Don't you know you're beautiful?
Don't you know you're beautiful?
Don't you know you're beautiful?
Just the way you are!
Hey there little homecoming queen in that back seat
I'll bet his brown eyes are promising you everything!
And I know you want to be just like your friends
But he'll still love you if you don't give in
But if those girls were being honest that have been where you're at
I'd bet they'd tell you they wish they had their innocence back
Don't you know you're beautiful?
Don't you know you're beautiful?
Don't you know you're beautiful?
Just the way you are!
So if he left you for a girl that could be your twin, if you were 28 again
Let him go, let him fly, keep your head up, get on with your life!
Don't you know you're beautiful?
Don't you know you're beautiful?
Don't you know you're beautiful?
Just the way you are!
Don't you know you're beautiful?
Don't you know you're beautiful?
Don't you know you're beautiful?
Just the way you are!
Don't you know you're beautiful?
Don't you know you're beautiful?
Don't you know you're beautiful?
Don't you know you're beautiful?
Don't you know you're beautiful?
Don't you know you're beautiful?
Where has my love gone
How can I go on
It seems dear love has gone away
But I’ll blame it on the sun
That didn’t fill the sky
I'll blame it on the wind and the trees
I'll blame it on the time that never was enough
I’ll blame it on the birds and the sea
But my heart blames it on me
Wish I could tell you
What I am feeling
But words won't come for me to speak
But I'll blame it on the sun
The sun that didn’t shine
I'll blame it on the birds in the trees
Ain't no rain as cold as the look she just gave him
Everyone around us knows a storm has just rolled in
I'll call for the check now baby, you go get the car
They'll stay here and fight it out, yeah they'll close down this bar
We'll go home and lay down safe in the arms of love
And we'll dance all night long on the edge of can't get enough
And we'll wake up in the morning like we always do
Drunk on the beautiful truth
We got love a 100 proof
She's gonna tell me that he can't help but get messed up
And he's gonna hang on you and say this night's just getting fun
They'll order another round now and try to make us stay
But you gotta know when to say when it's time to walk away
We'll go home and lay down safe in the arms of love
And we'll dance all night long on the edge of can't get enough
And we'll wake up in the morning like we always do
Drunk on the beautiful truth
Yes baby, I'm addicted to your touch
I'm still hung over from the last time we made love like this
This ain't in no shot glass, no bottle baby, no
We'll go home and lay down safe in the arms of love
We'll dance all night long on the edge of can't get enough
And we'll wake up in the morning like we always do
Drunk on the beautiful truth
So drunk on the beautiful truth
She was a beautiful girl
She was wild as the wind
On top of the world
Til she fell in love with him
Everyone told her that he was bad news
A boy goin nowhere ain't no good for you
Cause wild ponies are born to run
Don't you no wild ponies
Don't belong to no one
So baby, run
Run away
The first time he hit her
Was right after church
He said he was sorry
But it only got worse
Now she's not the same girl
That she used to be
He's breakin her spirit
He's killing her dreams
Cause wild ponies are born to run
Don't you know wild ponies
Don't belong to know one
So baby, run
Run away
She went out for groceries
Just an ordinary day
She realized she was just a block from the interstate
She sat at the stop light
The wheel in her hands
And when the light changed
She knew this was her chance
Wild ponies are born to run
Don't you know wild ponies
Don't belong to no one
Baby, run
I stay torn between killing him and loving him
He stays torn between neon lights and home.
How bout a honky tonk angel to tell me how this whole thing works
Where's Tammy Wynette when you need her.
I got a pack of camels I'm fixin' to open.
Cause I've got an apron I'm fixin' to tie on.
Tell me how you fry and season a chicken, in high heels and a skirt.
Where's Tammy Wynette, when you need her.
Where's Tammy Wynette when you need her
like a tease comb for a mess of hair,
cause you're trying to keep your man from that hussy over there.
In the cheap dress, tube top, lookin' for a cat fight, pretty little bar flower
doesn't think that I'm the kinda, good girl that's gonna go bad.
Where's Tammy Wynette when you need her.
He's gonna sleep in them cowboy boots on that couch tonight.
I'm gonna sit at that kitchen table with a bottle of wine.
I'm gonna search that midnight radio till I find something that hurts.
Where's Tammy Wynette, when you need her.
Where's Tammy Wynette when you need her.

I need to go shopping, these shoes are all wrong
Just look in my closet, not a thing to put on
I wonder how these jeans make me look from behind
Things that never cross a man's mind
Let's turn off the TV, now can't we just talk?
Let's lay here and cuddle 'til we both drift off
If we don't make love that'll be just fine
Things that never cross a man's mind
That joke is too dirty, that steak is too thick
Ain't no way in the world I'll ever finish it
That car is too fast, this beer is too cold
And watching all this football is sure getting old
Wish I was working this weekend
Not on the lake wetting my line
Things that never cross a man's mind
Her lips are too red, her skirt is too tight
Her legs are too long and her heels are too high
Boy, she looks like the marrying kind
Things that never cross a man's mind
That joke is too dirty, that steak is too thick
Ain't no way in the world I'll ever finish it
That car is too fast, this beer is too cold
And watching all this football is sure getting old
Wish I was working this weekend
Not on the lake wetting my line
Things that never cross a man's mind
I feel a little bloated, think I'm fixing to starve
That movie was good except for the violent parts
Brad Pitt is sexy, why did he change his hair?
I knew him and Jenny never had a prayer
These curtains clash with the carpet
The color scheme is a crime
Things that never cross a man's mind
The bottle took you from me when I was a child
Robbed me of the love I needed, robbed me of a smile
I prayed the same prayer every night, especially for you
After all, that's what little girls do.
It didn't happen in an instant, it happened in God's time
You've finally gotten sober and found some peace of mind
Yeah you faced all your demons and they finally set you free
With your back to the bottle, you're finally facing me
And Dad I wanna tell you that, I'm proud of you for never giving up... on us
Even in your darkest hour I could still feel the power of your love... for us
And I know that we'll make up for lost time as we walk through this world
Sometimes the night seems so long
When you lie in bed all alone
And tomorrow seems so far away
I don't wanna live another day this way
Scared to let someone in
Can't bear to get hurt again
But my body needs to feel a touch
Someone come and wake me up
I just want somebody to love me
I just need somebody to hold me
Somebody to love me
Don't wanna let life pass me by
Never knowing what it's like
To be as real as real can be
To share my life and know my dreams
I just want somebody to love me
And I just need somebody to hold me
Somebody to love me
'Cause I'm hurt and I'm scared and I'm lonely
All I want is somebody to want me
'Cause I've got so much to give
I just want somebody to love me
I just need somebody to hold me
Somebody to love me
Long white Limousine pulls up to the church
A sick part of me wishes it was a hearse
I didn't get an invitation but I'm here anyway
And I don't care if I'm crashing their big day
Well, it might not be too Christian of me
And it might not be too nice
But I wish we were all just standing around
Throwing rocks instead of rice
Long white dress, this must be some kinda joke
Virgin, please she ain't fooling these folks
If the three of us were on Jerry Springer I'd be pulling her hair
And I'd kick that lying sack of should've known better
In the you know where
Well, it might not be too Christian of me
And it might not be too nice
But I wish we were all just standing around
Throwing rocks instead of rice
Well, the vows that they just made sounded sweet and sincere
Place your bets, my money's on less than a year
Well, it might not be too Christian of me
And it might not be too nice
But I wish we were all just standing around
Throwing rocks instead of rice
Yeah, I wish we were all just standing around
Throwing rocks instead of rice, hey
Baby I've got plans tonight, you don't know nothin' about
I've been sittin' around way too long tryin' to figure you out
But you say that you'll call and you don't and I'm spinnin' my wheels
So I'm goin' out tonight in my red high heels
I'm gonna call up that old boyfriend you said still has it bad for me
I'm gonna take him into town, flaunt him around for everyone to see
Well, you said once yourself, baby, yeah, you know the deal
Nobody holds a candle to me in my red high heels
Oh, you can watch me walk if you want to, want to
I bet you want me back, now don't you, don't you?
I'm about to show you just how missin' me feels, in my red high heels
All those games you tried to play, well, they ain't gonna work on me now
I put a barbed wire fence around my heart, baby, just to keep you out
Well, you thought I'd wait around forever but baby get real
I just kicked you to the curb in my red high heels
Oh, you can watch me walk if you want to, want to
I bet you want me back, now don't you, don't you?
I'm about to show you just how missin' me feels, in my red high heels
Oh, you can watch me walk if you want to, want to
I bet you want me back, now don't you, don't you?
I'm about to show you just how missin' me feels
Oh, you can watch me walk if you want to, want to
I bet you want me back, now don't you, don't you?
I'm about to show you just how missin' me feels, in my red high heels
In my red high heels, in my red high heels
Every day when school got out
I'd get off the bus and I'd run down
That old dirt road where you were waiting for me
On the front porch in that blue swing
You'd be smiling and we would sing
'Amazing Grace' and 'Jesus Loves Me'
You were like my mother
You were my best friend
You were everything I want to be
And all the good inside of me
There's never been
Never been another
That loved me like you did
My grandmother, my angel
Even though I can't touch your face
I feel you with me every day
I wish you could see all my dreams coming true
When I get lost I close my eyes
And I feel you shining down so bright
I feel you shining down on me
You were like my mother
You were my best friend
You were everything I want to be
And all the good inside of me
There's never been
Never been another
That loved me like you did
My grandmother, my angel
You were like my mother
You were my best friend
You were everything I want to be
And all the good inside of me
There's never been
Never been another
That loved me like you did
My grandmother, my angel
I pull the covers over my head
I pray there's some way
That life could skip a day to Monday
I try to count my blessings
It's a long, long list
For a girl who has so much
There's so much that I miss on days like this
I wish I could go to town
Buy you a card
That says 'I love you' inside a heart
And one that makes you laugh
Pick you flowers from our yard
You can set 'em in the window in a Mason jar
Dad will take our photograph
One two three
Smile, say cheese
Oh I wish it could be that way
Every mother's day
Maybe someday I will let go
But right now I'm still hanging on
Maybe one day God will bless me
With a daughter of my own
I'll have love I've never known
She could go to town
Buy me a card
Says 'I love you' inside a heart
One that makes me laugh
She'll pick me flowers from our yard
I'll set 'em in the window in a Mason jar
And dad will take our photograph
One two three
Smile, say cheese
Oh I wish it could be that way
Every mother's day
One two three
Smile, say cheese
Oh I wish we could be that
Lucky girl
She got the diamond but I got the world
It's my oyster and it's full of pearls
So honey tell me who's the lucky girl
Lucky boy
Did you tell her she's your second choice?
'Cause I wouldn't be your little toy
Ain't no man inside her lucky boy
I guess you finally found someone
Who's everything that I couldn't be, whoa
I just couldn't see myself as Mrs. You Can Walk All Over Me
So tell me who's the lucky, tell me who's the lucky girl
Lucky girl
She got the Gucci gown, the veil and curls
I got your precious box set of Merle
So honey tell me who's the lucky girl
I guess you finally found someone
Who's everything that I couldn't be, whoa
I just couldn't see myself as Mrs. You Can Walk All Over Me
So tell me who's the lucky, tell me who's the lucky
Lucky girl
She got the diamond but I got the world
Yeah, it's my oyster and it's full of pearls
Whoa oh ooh oh oh
Oh oh ooh oh oh
Ohhhh
If you want someone who will turn your head
Whoa oh, I'm your woman
If you want something that you ain't found yet
Whoa oh, I'm your woman
You don't know but you just found it
Come on baby think about it
If you want something that's real
I'm your woman, I'm your woman
I'm your woman, I'm your woman
If you want someone who will be your friend
Whoa oh, I'm your woman
If you want two arms to get wrapped up in
Whoa oh, I'm your woman
Come on baby, who ya kiddin'
We both know that it's a given
If you're wanting something that's real
I'm your woman, I'm your woman
I'm your woman, I'm your woman
You know we are just wasting time
It's obvious that baby, I'm the one you want
Come on baby, who ya kiddin'
We both know that it's a given
If you're wanting something that's real
I'm your woman, I'm your woman
I'm your woman, I'm your woman
Whoa oh ooh oh oh
Oh oh ooh oh oh
Ohhhh
Whoa oh ooh oh oh
Oh oh ooh oh oh
Ohhh
I'm your woman
I'm your woman
I've felt the power of forgiveness
I know that life can let you down
I'm not blind, no I don't need a witness
To tell me there's angels all around
My eyes have seen more than they want to
My heart has scars that run so deep
There's tears that I've had to let go
And there's dreams I told myself I'd keep
Now I don't give up easy, I got many miles to go
But I can't wait to get to what I see down this road
And all my life I've learned to, just take it day by day
I'm not there yet but I know I'm on my way
I've looked out the window
When there's no hope in sight
But I swear I heard a whisper
Said it would be worth the fight
So I woke up one morning
And I put my fears aside
Now look how far I've come from
From the back of an endless line
Now I don't give up easy, I got many miles to go
But I can't wait to get to what I see down this road
And all my life I've learned to, just take it day by day
I'm not there yet but I know I'm on my way
I still got lessons to be learned
There's a choice at every turn
But someone out there cleared a path
And there's no turnin' back
And all my life I've learned to, just take it day by day
I'm not there yet but I know I'm on my way
I'm not there yet but I know I'm on my way
I gave away my first real kiss
In the rain on a Friday night
To the star of the football team
Underneath the stadium lights
I cried the day he told me he was movin on
And I swore I'd never love again
All summer long
I can still smell the blossoms of those sweet Magnolia trees
I can still hear the Bible stories that my grandma used to read
As years fly by, I'm still the same inside as I used to be
I guess there aint no changing girls like me
I rode with grandpa in his pickup truck
Standin in the front seat
Had my arm around his shoulder
I was his little diamond store queen
We listened to all those songs playin on the radio
Now I lay in bed and wonder
Where did all those days go
I can still smell the blossoms of those sweet Magnolia trees
I can still hear the Bible stories that my grandma used to read
As years fly by, I'm still the same inside as I used to be
I guess there aint no changing girls like me
I want to settle down but I need to be free
I might be afraid to fall
But I've still got a dream
I can still smell the blossoms of those sweet Magnolia trees
I can still hear the Bible stories that my grandma used to read
All the years fly by, I'm still the same inside as I used to be
I guess there aint no changing
I guess there aint no changing
I guess there aint no changing girls like me
Girls like me
I know you loved her a long time ago
Even now in my arms you still want her, I know
But darling, this time let your memories die
When you hold me tonight don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes, let it be me
Don’t pretend it’s her in some fantasy
Darling, just once let yesterday go
And you'll find more love than you’ve ever known
Just hold me tight when you love me tonight
And don’t close your eyes
Maybe I've been a fool holding on all this time
Lying here in your arms knowing she’s in your mind
But I keep hoping someday that you’ll see the light
Let it be me tonight and don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes, let it be me
Don’t pretend it’s her in some fantasy
Darling, just once let yesterday go
And you’ll find more love than you’ve ever known
Just hold me tight when you love me tonight
And don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes let it be me
And don’t pretend it’s her in some fantasy
Darling, just once let yesterday go
And you’ll find more love than you’ve ever known
Just hold me tight when you love me tonight
I remember the way you made love to me
Like I was all you'd ever need
Did you change your mind?
Well, I didn't change mine
Now, here I am trying to make sense of it all
We were best friends, now we don't even talk
You broke my heart
You ripped my world apart
Didn't you know how much I loved you?
Didn't you know how much I loved you, baby?
I gave you everything, every part of me
Didn't you feel it when I touched you?
Didn't I rock you when I loved you, baby?
Baby, tell me, didn't you know how much I loved you?
I can't get you out of my head
I still feel you in this bed
Left me all alone
You couldn't be more gone
From falling apart, to fighting mad
From wanting you back, to not giving a damn
I've felt it all
I've been to the wall
Didn't you know how much I loved you?
Didn't you know how much I loved you, baby?
I gave you everything, every part of me
Didn't you feel it when I touched you?
Didn't I rock you when I loved you, baby?
Baby, tell me, didn't you know how much I loved you?
One day justice will come and find you
And I'll be right there in your memory to remind you
Didn't you know how much I loved you?
Didn't you know how much I loved you, baby?
I gave you everything, every part of me
Didn't you feel it when I touched you?
Didn't I rock you when I loved you, baby?
Baby, tell me
Didn't you know how much I loved you?
Didn't you know how much I loved you, baby?
I gave you everything, every part of me
Didn't you feel it when I touched you?
Didn't I rock you when I loved you, baby?
'Cause I'll be there in the back of your mind
From the day we met till you were making me cry
And it's just too bad you've already had the best days
The best days of your life
Ain't it a shame
A shame that every time you hear my name
Brought up in a casual conversation
You can't think straight?
And ain't it sad
You can't forget about what we had
Take a look at her and do you like what you see
Or do you wish it was me?
I'll be there in the back of your mind
From the day we met to the very last night
And it's just too bad you've already had the best days
The best days of your life
And does she know
Know about the times you used to hold me
Wrapped me in your arms and how you told me
I'd be the only one?
I heard about
Yeah, someone told me once when you were out
She went a little crazy, ran her mouth about me
Ain't jealousy funny?
'Cause I'll be there in the back of your mind
From the day we met to the very last night
And it's just too bad you've already had the best days
The best days of your
Life with me was a fairytale love
I was head over heels till you threw away us
And it's just too bad you've already had the best days
The best days of your life
I heard you're gonna get married, have a nice little family
Live out my dreams with someone new
But I've been told that a cheater is always a cheater
So I've got my pride and she's got you
'Cause I'll be there in the back of your mind
From the day we met till you were making me cry
And it's just too bad you've already had the best days
The best days of your life
Of your life, oh, oh yeah
You're gonna think of me
You're gonna think of me in your life
Oh, oh yeah
It's a shame, it's a shame
It's a shame, it's a shame
It's a shame, it's a shame
