If I ever write the story of my life don't be surprised
If you're where it begins
Girl, I'd have to dedicate every line on every page
To the memories we made, while you loved me
I was born the day you kissed me
And I died inside the night you left me
But I lived, oh how I lived
While you loved me
I'd start with chapter one, love, innocent and young
As the morning sun on a new day
Even though I know the end, well I'd do it all again
'Cause I got a lifetime in, while you loved me
I was born the day you kissed me
And I died inside the night you left me
But I lived, oh how I lived
While you loved me
I was born the day you kissed me
And I died inside the night you left me, yeah
But I lived, oh how I lived
I lived
I was born the day you kissed me
The day you kissed me baby
And I died inside the night you left me, yeah
But I lived, oh how I lived
I lived
I swear it feels just like
The clocks slow down for a while
And the air tastes sweeter
And breathing gets deeper
As the clouds dance around the sunshine
I hear the church bells ring
Blowing in with the breeze, yeah
As i stare in your eyes
Thanking God for this life that he's given me
You're a gift to me
Chorus
If I had the chance to make one wish
Every single moment would be like this
Laying here baby, just me and you
Yeah and every day would be sunday
Afternoon
Just the touch of your hand
It fixes everything
It gets my heartbeat moving
Like it's singing hallelujah
You're the only place I wanna be
Right where I wanna be
Chorus
If I had the chance to make one wish
Every single moment would be like this
Laying here baby, just me and you
Yeah and every day would be sunday
Afternoon
If I had the chance to make one wish
Every single moment, would be like this
Laying here baby, just me and you
That's exactly what i'd do, yeah that's what
I'd do
If I had the chance to make one wish
Every single moment would be like this
Laying here baby, just me and you
Yeah and every day would be sunday
Every day would be Sunday afternoon
Oh, just the tough of your hand
Sunday afternoon
Everything...Sunday, Sunday afternoon
Before we met I was free
I never had to worry about anyone but me
Now that boy is gone and in his place
Is a man who needs to hold you night and day
So if I stumble, if I fall
Forgive me I'm just learning as I go alone
[Chorus]
See me through, see me through
This aching heart has come so far
To be with you, see me through
With angel eyes, just look inside
At all this love I never want to lose
See me through
I know sometimes I let you down
But I'm still getting used to having you around
And if I ever make you cry
There's nothing I won't do to make things right
I'm not perfect and that's for sure
A little time is all I'm asking for
[Repeat Chorus]
See me through this mask I wear
Well, I'm almost there, you know I care
I am the man you always thought you knew
[Repeat Chorus]
See me through, See me through
Oh see me through
yeah yeah
oooo ooo see me through
oh we're almost there, can't you see that
I'm almost girl I'm almost there
This mask I wear
Girl, I'm almost there, I'm almost there
See me, See me through this mask I wear,
I'm almost there
ooooo girl
Whoa! Hey, hey-
Oh what a ride
What a perfect sky to frame
Your hazel eyes
I'd scream on the inside
But right now it feels like I've
Been tranquilized
Oh, what a fool am I
To be tongue-tied
Sitting next to her
The princess and the passenger
You touch the rain and suddenly
There's waterfalls
Now every day is something more
Worth fighting for
Baby, you make the sun shine down
You make the sun shine down
You can paint the darkest clouds
And turn them into rainbows
You take your secret smile
The one that turns me on
Hey girl, you've been what I've waited for
Feet back on the pavement to the
Basement
On the bright side of the road
Fumbling my lines to a lazy cat
On the step outside her door
She opens up
And I'm in the Polaroid
Standing next to her
The princess and the passenger
Touching the rain and suddenly
There's waterfalls
Now every day is something more
Worth living for
On a day like this when the world
Is elevated
On a day like this when I know just
Why I waited
On a day like this when the world
Is elevated
On a day like this when I know just
Got an old dog, it don't like me much
That thing starts to bark his head off every time we touch
Sittin' on the porch listenin' to the radio
We sing every single song we know
Even the ones we don't
When she moves a little closer
She puts her hand in mine
Oh what I wouldn't give just to stop the hands of time
She's got long blonde hair and big blue eyes
I got all I ever need when that girl is by my side
Everything I love is there inside
A little brick house on the Oklahoma-Texas Line
She's got a part time job at the Tastee-freeze
She took the weekend off to spend a little bit of time with me
I got an old car we drove to the edge of town
We stopped by Old Man Millers' farm
Just to watch the world spin around
And she moves a little closer
She puts her lips to mine
Ain't funny how the good Lord out does himself sometimes
She's got long blonde hair and big blue eyes
I got all I ever need when that girl is by my side
Everything I love is there inside
A little brick house on the Oklahoma-Texas Line
Everything I love is there inside
A little brick house with a black top drive
Big oak tree with our names carved on the side
She's got long blonde hair and big blue eyes
I got all I ever need when that girl is by my side
Everything I love is there inside
A little brick house on the Oklahoma-Texas,
Just a little brick house on the Oklahoma-Texas Line
Oh here they come
Long blonde hair and big blue eyes
Tell me you've had trouble sleeping
That you toss and turn from side to side
That it's my face you've been seeing
In your dreams at night
Tell me that you wake up crying
And you're not sure exactly why
Tell me that something is missing
In your life, in your life baby
Tell me that you live for love
That forever is never enough
That you've waited all your life to see
That you want so badly to believe
Tell me that it's not just me
I could have sworn I saw you smile at me
Standing in the poring rain
At a loss for words and running out of time
I said this crazy thing (crazy thing), I said
Hold me now and tell me that you do believe
In a soul, a soul mate
She left that loser in a dust cloud
Heart in his hand, chin on the ground
Cried her last tear for that clown
She can see a little clearer now
She said, "Oh, oh, I gotta go and find me"
Oh, oh she found the strength to break free
Like a painted wild mustang
Flyin' out across the open range
Finally gets to live her life that way
No fear, no fences, nobody-no reins
No reins
All she's ever felt is held back
She says, "It's kinda nice to hear myself laugh"
She's gonna do a lot more of that
She's makin' plans and makin' tracks
She said, "Oh, oh I gotta go and find me"
Oh, oh she found the strength to break free
Oh, oh she's learnin' how to let go
Oh, oh whichever way the wind blows
Oh, oh she's learnin' how to let go
From the moment that we met
My world was turned around
Upside down
To some degree I still regret
My memory for keeping you around
Girl I thought that you were mine
But my broken hearts been shattered
One too many times
And I don't want to see you anymore
I'm just not that strong
I love it when you're here,
But I'm better when you're gone
I'm certain that I've given and oh how you can take
There's no use in you looking
There's nothing left for you to break
Baby please release me
Let my heart rest in pieces
Someone let you down again
So you turn to me
Your convenient friend
Oh but I know what you're doing
And what you hope to find
I've seen it a thousand times
Oh the fire we had before
Are now just bitter ashes
I can almost hear your voice in the morning
Softly, whispering my name
And I can almost taste the sweetest of your kisses
And I can feel you touching me again
Oh, I’m getting so good at playing make believe
I can almost talk to your memory
Oh, I can almost smell a trace of your perfume
The one you always wore just for me
We’re together; we’re together in our room
Yes everything is like, just like it use to be
And I’m getting so good at playing make believe
That I can almost talk to your memory
Oh I know, I been clinging (I been clinging to) to some old memories
Yeah but I don’t care (I don’t care)
Because they are bring, bring you back to me
And I love my memories
I can almost pretend our love ever ended
And that someday you’ll be coming back to me
And Oh I’m getting so good, oh baby, at playing make believe
That I can almost talk to your memory
Oh I’m getting oh so good at playing make believe
That I can almost talk to your memory
We were wrapped up in a blanket
red wine buzz kickin' in
a little Sarasota moonlight
driftwood fire burnin'
she was on break from Ohio State
and I was down there sellin'
parasail rides
just another summer day
till I strapped her in and
watched her fly
Talk about a sunset
all I could see were purples
and reds
and her silhouette wavin' goodbye
she didn't come there lookin' for love
and the cool thing was
neither did I and neither did I
She dipped down in the water
as I slowed down holdin' that line
wet t-shirt on a two piece
we ditched that boat and
hung outside
and we walked ankle deep in ocean
you know that place where
footprints disappear
just like that evenin' she drove away
it'll be burned in my mind for a
million years
I should be out in that driveway stopping you
Tears should be rolling down my cheek
And I don't know why I'm not falling apart like I usually do
And how the thought of losing you is not killing me
I feel bad that I can stand here strong
Cold as stone, seems so wrong, I can't explain it
Maybe it's just, I've cried so much
I'm tired and I'm numb, baby, I hate it
I feel bad that I don't feel bad
I can let myself be angry over wasted time
And sad about just throwing love away
Yeah, I almost wish my heart was breaking but I can't lie
All I want to do is turn the page
I feel bad that I can stand here strong
Cold as stone, seems so wrong, I can't explain it
Maybe it's just, I've cried so much
I'm tired and I'm numb, baby, I hate it
I feel bad
That I don't feel bitter, alone
I just feel it's time, it's time to move on
I just gotta move on and on and on and on, yeah
But maybe it's just, I've cried so much
I'm tired and I'm numb, oh, baby, I hate it
Featuring: Still Feels Good Album
You could have bowed out gracefully
But you didn't
You knew enough to know to leave well enough alone
But you wouldn't
I drive myself crazy tryin' to stay out of my own way
The messes that I made but my secrets are so safe
The only one who gets me, yeah, you get me
It's amazin' to me
How every day
Every day, every day
You save my life
I come around all broken down and crowded out
And you're a comfort
Sometimes the place I go is so deep and dark and desperate
I don't know, I don't know
How every day
Every day, every day
You save my life
Sometimes I swear I don't know if I am comin' or goin'
But you always say somethin' without even knowin'
That I am hangin' onto your words with all my might
And it's alright, yeah, I am alright for one more night
Every day
Every day, every day, every day
Every day, every day
Every day, every day, every day
You save me, you save me
Every day, every
Every, every day
A tall drink of water in a cotton dress
That preacher's daughter, she sure is blessed
As sunlight passes through the fabric so soft
You can imagine what goes through my thoughts
She says there'll be time for all of that
When my dress is white and your suit is black
There's so many fish in the sea
And I know it's a great big world
But I couldn't help but fall in love so hard
For my dry county girl
For my dry county girl, yeah
It's widely known that I have my flaws
While she's the Joan of Arkansas
Her lips won't touch the demon wine
But her eyes are full of pure moonshine
And I get drunk just holding her hand
I get high thinking I could be her man
For my dry county girl
Lord, I fell so hard
For my dry county girl
For my dry county girl, yeah
There's a Mountain Dew can with lipstick on it
Rollin' round his truck bed.
He just leaves it back there,
one of the things he still has left of her
When he drives into the late day sun
You can see a set of footprints.
He ain't going to clean that windshield,
He'd rather just live with the hurt.
Chorus:
He's holdin' on to the wheel
To the way she made him feel.
To the shifter, to the pictures.
Every precious moment with her.
Like the left behind colors in the sky
When the sun is gone.
He's holdin' on.
Oh, he's holdin' on.
There's that voicemail on his cell phone
He don't dare erase.
She ended with I love you,
And he saves it just in case
It might still be true.
No he ain't through.
Chorus
To the past
To the last time he held her
The breath on his neck.
The three words she said.
Oh oh oh
He's holdin' on to the wheel
To the way she made him feel.
To the shifter, to the pictures.
Every precious moment with her.
He's holdin' on
Yeah, he's holdin' on
He's holdin' on
I know that you're leavin'
As soon as the sun
Comes through the window
There's no talking this over
The damage is done
There's just too much hurt
Too much to forgive
Oh, but we both know
We were'nt always like this
Help me remember
The way that we used to be
When nothin' else mattered
"cause you were lovin' me
Just for the night, one last time
One more good memory
When I look back
That's what I wanna see
Oh, help me remember
Those days that were so good
Those nights that we held
Held on forever
When we weren't pretenders
We were as real as we felt
Oh, I don't want to fight anymore
Don't want the last thing I hear tonight
To be a slammin' door
Baby, let it be like before
This could be the last time
I look in your eyes
Help me remember
The way that it used to be
When nothin' else mattered
'Cause you were lovin' me
Oh, help me remember
Oh, help me, help me
Sitting here with you
you ask me why my tongue is tied
I've tried to make some sense of all these things I feel inside
I've been searching for the perfect words to say
They've been said a thousand times
But they mean more today
'Cause i'm head over heels for you
and all of the things you do
the heavens and earth have moved
I'm falling head over heels for you
So baby there it is i've let it go and now you know
It's funny how a feeling starts so small and starts to grow
I had every line rehearsed I'd say to you today
then you looked into my eyes and they just slipped away
'Cause i'm head over heels for you
and all of the things you do
the heavens and earth have moved
I'm falling, head over heels for you
Head over heels heart over mind you've got me body and soul
I've never dreamed in a million years I'd lose complete control
I'm head over heels for you
and all of the things you do
the heavens and earth have moved
I'm falling head over heels for you
Head over heels for you
I'm falling head over heels for you
oooo ohh I'm falling
From time to time I have regrets
For all the things I didn't say
That were on my list
From time to time my memory slips
But you're the one thing in my life
I won't forget
There'll never be a minute of the day
I won't think of you
My feelings are so strong in me
I feel it through and through
There'll never be a night that's so dark that we won't shine
Or a dream that we've lost that we can't find
You'll always be, oh the one for me
I think of you from time to time
And in between
You'll always be, oh the one for me
I think of you from time to time
And in between
oooo yeah
You'll always be, oh the one for me
From time to time
And in between yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah I do
I think of you from time to time
When you’re ready for love,
And you’ve conquered your fear,
And you wanna fall baby,
Fall here.
When you’ve had enough hurt,
And you’re tired of the tears,
If you wanna fall baby,
Fall here.
You’re broken and jaded, say love’s overrated,
But I say girl aint that a shame?
With all that he put you through, I can’t really blame you.
But don’t let some fool give us all up at name.
When you’re ready for love,
And you’ve conquered your fear,
And you wanna fall baby,
Fall here.
When you’ve had enough hurt,
And you’re tired of the tears,
If you wanna fall baby,
Fall here.
Fall here, right into my world.
Let me catch you girl,
Let me be the one.
Let me be the one.
When you’re ready for love,
When you’re ready for love,
If you wanna fall I won’t let you down girl.
Oh baby let go.
When you’re ready for love,
And you’ve conquered your fear,
And you’re tired of the tears,
Baby fall, baby fall here.
Grandma burned the biscuits
Nearly took the house down with it
Now she's in assisted living
We all knew that day would come
We knew she was too gone to drive
The day she parked on I-65
Found her on the shoulder cryin'
She didn't know where she was
It's like her mind just quit
Oh, but bring up grandpa
It's like someone flipped a switch
A front porch light and a blue Desoto
A couple of straws and a Coca-Cola, you can see it all going down
A handsome boy in army green, a tear on his face, down on a knee
Shaky voice, a diamond ring, she'll put you in that town
Tomorrow she won't remember what she did today
But just ask her about Ellsworth, Kansas, 1948
She takes out his medals
A cigar box of letters
Sits and scatters pictures
Black and whites of days gone by
We started losin' her when she lost him
But to hear her carry on
You'd swear she's seventeen again
Football games and leaves a cracklin'
Walkin' her home in his letter jacket, you can see it all going down
A perfect night on a front porch glider
Sayin' goodnight for the next three hours
Her tired eyes go wide and bright, when she talks about that town
Tomorrow she won't remember what she did today
But just ask her about Ellsworth, Kansas, 1948
While the world is fading all around her
Sharing a sundae at the counter
He's going on and on about her
Bet she's right there right now
Tomorrow she won't remember what she did today
We broke up, yeah, it's tough
Most guys would've been crushed
Wasting their time wondering where they went wrong
No way, not me, hey, I'm doing just fine
I'm not afraid of moving on
It's easy going out on Friday night
Easy every time I see her out
I can smile, live it up the way a single guy does
But what she, what she don't know
Is how hard it is to make it look so easy
The truth is, I miss lyin' in those arms of his
But I don't ever let it show
I laugh and I act like I'm havin' the time of my life
As far as he knows
It's easy going out on Friday night
Easy every time I see him out
I can smile, live it up the way a single girl does
But what he, what he don't know
Is how hard it is to make it look so easy
Oh, it's easy, yeah
Oh, it's easy going out on Friday night
Oh, it's easy every time I see him out
I can smile, live it up, forget about the way it was
But what she, oh what he don't know, what she don't know
Is how hard it is to make it look so easy
Oh, look so easy
Look so easy

I set out on a narrow way, many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
Yes He did
I think about the years I spent, just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost, and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there, you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
But now I'm just rolling home into my lover's arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
Red light, late again,
That joker cut me off at Windmill at end.
Cell phone out of range,
Can you hear me now, I’m going the same.
Well who’s that honkin at me?
Yeah, that’s the last thing I need.
Yeah it’s alright.
It’s just another thing called life.
Any way it goes I’m coming home to you tonight.
Don’t sweat the small stuff,
Life is hard enough,
I thank the Lord above,
We’ve got a great big love.
Great big love.
Check it out,
Got breaking news,
All that matters is that I got you.
The little things, we think they’re somethin,
But when you wad ‘em up they add up to nothin.
Well come on road, is that all you got?
That aint a lot if that’s your best shot.
Hey, it’s alright.
It’s just another thing called life.
Any way it goes I’m coming home to you tonight.
Don’t sweat the small stuff,
Life is hard enough,
I thank the Lord above,
We’ve got a great big love.
It’s alright, it’s just another thing called life.
Yeah, it’s alright,
It’s just another thing called life.
But any way it goes I’m coming home to you tonight.
Don’t sweat the small stuff,
Life is hard enough,
I thank the Lord above,
We’ve got a great big,
Don’t get so uptight,
You’ve gotta let it slide.
Well life is hard enough.
We’ve got a great big love, yeah.
Life is hard enough.
Don’t sweat the small stuff,
Oh, life is hard enough.
I thank the Lord above.

Cool in the summer
Warm in the cold
A perfect fashion statement
For the young and the old
A cloak for the priest
A hat for the farmer
You could be looking at the emperor's pajamas
That's way the llama walks so proud
That's way the llama holds his head up in the crowd
All of us applaud his generosity
He's more than just a passing curiosity
He covers up our pride
And all those things we have to hide
In any civilized society
(Kristyn Osborn/Marcus Hummon)
Shedaisy: I sold your Rolex
To buy that gold Versace dress
Rascal Flatts: I set free your whiny French poodle
So you could get your beauty rest
And I did it all for you
I did it all (I did it all) for you
This Christmas (This Christmas)
All your dreams (All your dreams)
Will come true
Rascal Flatts: I put your mother on a greyhound (you did what?)
You always hoped she'd have the chance to see the world-now she can
Shedaisy: I torched your Sports Illustrated swimsuit issues (No, no, no,no)
So I could be your only girl-and now I am
And I did it all for you
I did it all (I did it all) for you
This Christmas (This Christmas)
All your dreams (All your dreams)
Will come true
Shedaisy: How can I forget
All you've done for me
I'll get you yet
Rascal Flatts: This is the season to give
But I can never forgive the damage that you've done
(Damage that you've done)
This must be love
Shedaisy: I sank your bass boat (Not my bass boat, no, no, no)
So you'd have more time to spend with me
Rascal Flatts: I hocked your grandma's diamond earrings (AHHHHH!)
For the down payment on my SUV
Shedaisy: Fully loaded, heated seats, in hunter green-is this for me?
And I did it all for you
I did it all (I did it all) for you
This Christmas (This Christmas)
All your dreams (All your dreams)
Will come true
Ooooh....
You feel like a candle in a hurricane
Just like a picture with a broken frame
Alone and helpless, like you've lost your fight
But you'll be alright, you'll be alright
?Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend ?til you break
?Cause it's all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you've had enough
You get mad, you get strong
Wipe your hands, shake it off
Then you stand, then you stand
Life's like a novel with the end ripped out
The edge of a canyon with only one way down
Take what you're given before it's gone
And start holdin' on, keep holdin' on
?Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend ?til you break
?Cause it's all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you've had enough
You get mad, you get strong
Wipe your hands, shake it off
Then you stand, yeah, then you stand
Every time you get up
And get back in the race
One more small piece of you
Starts to fall into place, yeah
?Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend ?til you break
?Cause it's all you can take
Yeah, then you stand
Yeah, baby
Woo hoo, woo hoo
Woo hoo, woo hoo
Sara Beth is scared to death
To hear what the doctor will say
She hasn't been well, since the day that she fell
And the bruise it just won't go away
So she sits and she waits with her mother and dad
And flips through an old magazine
Till the nurse with the smile stands at the door
And says, ?Will you please come with me??
Sara Beth is scared to death
?Cause the doctor just told her the news
Between the red cells and white, something's not right
But we're gonna take care of you
Six chances in ten, it won't come back again
With the therapy we're gonna try
It's just been approved, it's the strongest there is
And I think we caught it in time
And Sara Beth closes her eyes
And she dreams she's dancing
Around and around without any cares
And her very first love is holding her close
And a soft wind is blowing her hair
Sara Beth is scared to death
As she sits holding her mom
?Cause it would be a mistake for someone to take
A girl with no hair to the prom
For just this morning, right there on her pillow
Was the cruelest of any surprise
And she cried when she gathered it all in her hands
The proof that she couldn't deny
And Sara Beth closes her eyes
And she dreams she's dancing
Around and around without any cares
And her very first love was holding her close
And a soft wind is blowing her hair
It's quarter to seven, that boy's at the door
And her daddy ushers him in
And when he takes off his cap
They all start to cry
?Cause this morning where his hair had been
Softly she touches just skin
And they go dancing
Around and around without any cares
And her very first true love is holding her close
There's no gravity up here
It's kind of hard to explain
Every time I'm holding you
It's like backwards rain - Yeah
[CHORUS]
You lift me up like a kite on a string
Like a bird on newfound wings
So high on you I'm floating and flying around
Your love's like fallin' upside down
You've got me so lightheaded
It's a dizzy mood
Spinning uncontrollably
And gaining altitude
[CHORUS]
You lift me up like a kite on a string
Like a bird on new found wings
So high on you I'm floating and flying around
Your love's like fallin' upside down
[BRIDGE]
Look at me
Used to be, I could keep my feet on the ground
When you said you could take me higher
You weren't playing around
[you weren't playing around]
[CHORUS]
You lift me you like a kite on a string
Like a bird on newfound wings
So high on you I'm floating and flying around
Sarah Beth is scared to death
To hear what the doctor will say
She hasn't been well
Since the day that she fell
And the bruises just won't go away
So she sits and see waits with her mother and dad
Flips through an old magazine
Till a the nurse with a smile
Stands at the door
And says will you please come with me
Sarah Beth is scared to death
Cause the doctor just told her the news
Between the red cells and white
Something's not right
But we're gonna take care of you
Six chances in ten it won't come back again
With the therapy were gonna try
It's just been approved
It's the strongest there is
I think we caught it in time
Sarah Beth closes her eyes
She dreams she's dancing
Around and around without any cares
And her very first love is holding her close
And the soft wind i blowing her hair
Sarah Beth is scared to death
As she sits holding her mom
Says it would be a mistake
For someone to take
A girl with no hair to the prom
Oh, just this morning right there on her pillow
Was the coolest of any surprise
And she cried when she gathered it all in her hands
The proof that she couldn't deny
Sarah Beth closes her eyes
She dreams she's dancing
Around and around without any cares
And her very first true love is holding her close
And the soft wind is blowing her hair
Sara Beth is scared to death
To hear what the doctor will say

Lying here with you
I watch you while you sleep
The dawn is closing in
With every breath you breathe
I can feel the change
The change you've made in me
But will I ever see
All the things you see in me
When you say that I'm one of a kind
Baby, I don't see it but you believe
That I'm so strong and true, I promise you
I'll try to be that kind of man
Because you love me like I am
When it comes to love
I may not know the rules
But there's one thing I know
My heart belongs to you, just you
You show me you love me
With a fire that burns deep inside
- I am
I'll never understand
I don't think I'll ever understand
Why you love me
There's a lot of ways of saying what I want to say to you
There's songs and poems and promises and dreams that might come true
But I won't talk of starry skies or moonlight on the ground
I'll come right out and tell you I'd just love to lay you down
Lay you down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear
Lay you down and tell you all the things a woman loves to hear
I'll let you know how much it means just having you around
Oh darlin' how I'd love to lay you down
There's so many ways your sweet love made this house into a home
You've got a way of doing little things that turn me on
Like standing in the kitchen in your faded cotton gown
With your hair still up in curlers I still love to lay you down
Lay you down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear
Lay you down and tell you all the things a woman loves to hear
I'll let you know how much it means just having you around
Oh darlin' how I'd love to lay you down
When a whole lot of Decembers are showin' in your face
Your auburn hair has faded and silver takes it's place
You'll be just as lovely and I'll still be around
And if I can I know that I'd still love to lay you down
Lay you down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear
Lay you down and tell you all the things a woman loves to hear
I'll let you know how much it means just having you around
Oh darlin' how I'd love to lay you down
Lay you down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear
Lay you down and tell you all the things a woman loves to hear
I'll let you know how much it means just having you around
Oh darlin' how I'd love to lay you down
Lay you down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear
Lay you down and tell you all the things a woman loves to hear
I'll let you know how much it means just having you around
Oh darlin' how I'd love to lay you down
They tried their best to drag him out
Of a courthouse down in montgomery
Now they want to kick him out of school
And take him off our money
They can take those words off of paper and stone
But he aint gone, no
He ain't the leavin' kind
He'd never walk away
Even from those who dont believe
And wanna leave him behind
He ain't the leavin' kind
She stayed mad at him for a lot of years
For taking her husband
Started losing her faith and thinking that
Her life meant nothin
But when she looks at those kids
She raised all by herself
She knows she had some help
Yeah she knows
He ain't the leavin' kind
He'd never walk away
Even from those who don't believe
And wanna leave him behind
He ain't the leavin' kind
No matter what you do
No matter where you go he's
Always right there
With you
Even from those who don't believe
And wanna leave him behind
God rest ye merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our savior
Was born on Christmas day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
From God our heavenly father
The blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tidings of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Fear not said the angel
Let nothing you affright
This day is born a savior
Of the pure virgin bright
To free all those who trust in him
From Satan's power and might
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
And when they came to Bethlehem
Where our dear savior lay
They found him in the manger
Where oxen feed on hay
His mother Mary kneeled down
And to the Lord did pray
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
God rest ye merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our savior
Staring at you taking off your makeup
Wondering why you even put it on
I know you think you do, but baby you don't need it
Wish that you could see what I see when it's gone
I see a dust trail following an old red Nova
Baby blue eyes, your head on my shoulder
Wait, baby don't move, right there it is
A T-shirt hanging off a dogwood branch
That river was cold but we gave love a chance, yeah to me
You don't look a day over fast cars and freedom
That sunset, riverbank, first time feeling
Yeah, smile and shake your head as if you don't believe me
I'll just sit right here and let you take me back
I'm on that gravel road, look at me
On my way to pick you up, you're standing on the front porch
Looking just like that, remember that
I see a dust trail following an old red Nova
Baby blue eyes, your head on my shoulder
Wait, baby don't move, right there it is
A T-shirt hanging off a dogwood branch
That river was cold but we gave love a chance, yeah to me
You don't look a day over fast cars and freedom
That sunset, riverbank, first time feeling, yeah
I see a dust trail following an old red Nova
Baby blue eyes, your head on my shoulder
You don't look a day over fast cars and freedom
That sunset, riverbank, first time feeling, yeah, no no no
You don't look a day over fast cars and freedom
That sunset and that riverbank, oh and that first time feeling
You don't look a day over fast cars and freedom
That sunset, riverbank, first time feeling
I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hopin I would find true love along the broken road
Well I got lost a time or two, wiped my brow and kept pushin through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you,
CHORUS
That every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars,
pointing me on my way,
into your loving arms,
this much I know is true,
That god blessed the broken road that led me straight to you
Yes he did
I think about the years I've spent, just passin through,
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back you,
but you just smile and take my hand, you've been there you understand it's all part of a grander plan, that is comin true
CHORUS
That every long lost dream led me to where you are others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars, pointing me on my way, into your loving arms, this much I know is true, that god blessed the broken road that led me straight to you
And now i'm just rollin home into my lovers arms this much I know is true, that god blessed the broken road that led me straight to you.
That god blessed the broken road that led me straight to you.
I was sittin? on a bar stool
In a barbecue joint in Tennessee
When this ole boy walked in
And he sat right down next to me
I could tell he?d been through some hard times
There were tear stains on his old shirt
And he said, ?Ya wanna know what ya get
When you play a country song backwards??
Ya get your house back, ya get your dog back
Ya get your best friend Jack back
Ya get your truck back, ya get your hair back
Ya get your first and second wives back
Your front porch swing, your pretty little thing
Your bling, bling, bling and a diamond ring
You get your farm and the barn and the boat and the Harley
First night in jail with Charlie
It sounds a little crazy
A little scattered and absurd
But that?s what you get
When you play a country song backwards
Well, I never heard it said quite like that
It hit me in the face 'cause that?s where I?m at
I almost fell flat out on the floor, he said
?Wait a minute, that?s not all there?s even more?
Ya get your mind back, your nerves back
Your first heart attack back
You get your pride back, get your life back
And you get your first real love back
You get your big screen TV
A DVD and a washing machine
You get the pond and the lawn, and the bail, and the mower
You get to go back where you don?t know her
It sounds a little crazy
A little scattered and absurd
But that?s what you get
When you play a country song backwards, oh, that's all
We sat there and shot the bull
About how it would be
But if we could turn it all around
And change this C R A P
Ya get your house back, ya get your dog back
Ya get your best friend Jack back
Ya get your truck back, ya get your hair back
Ya get your first and second wives back
Your front porch swing, your pretty little thing
Your bling, bling, bling and a diamond ring
You get your farm and the barn and the boat and the Harley
First night in jail with Charlie
Ya get your mind back, your nerves back
Your first heart attack back
You get your pride back, get your life back
And you get your first real love back
You get your big screen TV
A DVD and a washing machine
You get the pond and the lawn, and the bail, and the mower
You get to go back where you don?t know her
It sounds a little crazy
A little scattered and absurd
But that?s what you get
When you play a country song backwards
I sold your rolex

You prolly dont like me the way i like you but i dont care cuz i will always

Yeah yeah yeah..
So, so you made a lot of mistakes
Walked down the road a little sideways
Cracked a brick when you hit the wall
Yeah, you've had a pocket full of regrets
Pull you down faster than a sunset
Hey, it happens to us all
When the cold hard rain just won't quit
And you can't see your way out of it
CHORUS
You find your faith has been lost and shaken
You take back what's been taken
Get on your knees and dig down deep
You can do what you think is impossible
Keep on believing, don't give in
It'll come and make you whole again
It always will, it always does
Love is unstoppable
Love, it can weather any storm
Bring you back to being born again
oh, it's a helping hand when you need it most
A lighthouse shinning on the coast
That never goes dim
When your heart is full of doubt
And you think that there's no way out
CHORUS
You find your faith has been lost and shaken
You take back what's been taken
Get on your knees and dig down deep
You can do what you think is impossible
Keep on believing, don't give in
It'll come and make you whole again
It always will, it always does
Love is unstoppable
Like a river keeps on rolling
Like the north wind blowing
Don't it feel good knowing
Yeah
CHORUS
You find your faith has been lost and shaken
You take back what's been taken
Get on your knees and dig down deep
You can do what you think is impossible
Keep on believing, don't give in
It'll come and make you whole again
It always will, it always does
Love is unstoppable
Love is unstoppable
So you made a lot of mistakes
Walked down the road a little sideways
I sold your Rolex
To buy that gold Versace dress
I set free your whiny French poodle
So you could get your beauty rest
And I did it all for you
I did it all (I did it all) for you
This Christmas (This Christmas)
All your dreams (All your dreams)
Will come true
I put your mother on a greyhound (you did what?)
You always hoped she'd have the chance to see the world now she can
I torched your Sports Illustrated swimsuit issues (No, no, no, no, no, no)
So I could be your only girl and now I am
And I did it all for you
I did it all (I did it all) for you
This Christmas (This Christmas)
All your dreams (All your dreams)

How can I forget (I forget)
All you've done for me

But I can never forgive the damage that you've done
(Damage that you've done)
This must be love
I sank your bass boat (Oh not my bass boat, no, no, no)

All your dreams (All your dreams)
I did it all for you
I did it all (I did it all) for you
This Christmas (This Christmas)
All your dreams (All your dreams)
Will come true
I guess it's cause and effect
Your heart and mine
The way that we connect
Keeps blowing my mind
There you go again, it never ends
What you do to me
That I have seen the light of day
Love is finally going my way
Is it too good to be true
Give me one more kiss, one more touch
Baby, I just can't get enough of you
This time, too good is true
All of a sudden
I'm not who I used to be
I had my heart locked
But you held the key
And you find a way, everyday
To show me even more
Some people say we're too good to be true
But they don't get to be loved by you
Oh this time, too good is true
I thought about calling you when I got off the plane
Every time I see this city through the clouds I get that way
Call me crazy for missing you like this but I do
By now I figured you had all your numbers changed
It's been at least a year since I called you up to say
We need to talk I got this job and I think I'm going to take it
Cause I been waiting all my life
For a break like this
It's my chance of a lifetime I just know it is
I gotta go find these dreams
Was the last thing that I said
And then I did
I can see clear to the mountains as I head up our old street
I remember how we'd call in sick on days like these
And turn the music up roll the windows down and just drive
You talked me outta givin' up on myself so many times
Convinced me to get in while I could regrets hang heavy on the mind
But you never doubted me you kept pushing me
Saying you've been waiting all your life for a break like this
It's your chance of a lifetime you just know it is
You gotta go find those dreams
Was the last thing that you said
And then I did
But you were wrong
Love was what I wanted all along
And now you're gone
I thought about calling you when I got off the plane
Every time I see this city through the clouds I get that way
But you were wrong
You waved your hand and it was done
Said let it be and there it was
A mountain, so high, it broke through, the sky
A canyon, so deep, it'll bring a man to his knees
[Chorus]
I've seen what you can do
I've seen you make miracles and hopeless dreams come true
You've made the heavens and the stars
Everything, come on how hard
Could it be, To make her love me?
I've said some things I shouldn't have
Tried everything to win her back
I'm human, I messed up, Is she gone?, Are we done?
Forgiveness, another chance, that's all I want, it's in your hands
[chorus]
I've seen what you can do
I've seen you make miracles and hopeless dreams come true
You've made the heavens and the stars
Everything, come on how hard
Could it be, To make her love me?
[Chorus]
To make her love me
Sometimes he lets that boss get in his head.
He can't see past that mountain
of deadlines on his desk.
5 o'clock, he's the last one out of the gate
And he gets cut off, flipped off, ticked off
out on the interstate.
And he wonders why this world won't leave him alone,
'til he hears that little voice holler "daddy's home."
Things that matter, things that don't.
She's held onto that grudge for all her life,
Had thirty years of anger
since her dad walked out that night.
She thinks of all the moments that he's missed,
all the birthdays, ballets, first dates.
It seems too much to forgive.
She gets that call that says he don't have long,
She walks in, he starts crying. The past is gone.
Things that matter, things that don't.
[chorus]
Time ain't on our side,
Don't wanna leave this world with,
Why didn't I? Why didn't I?
Yeahh why didn't I?
Sometimes I take on this world by myself,
thinkin' I got all the answers
don't need anybody's help.
Well God was right there waiting for me all along,
to fall down on my knees, surrender all
Things that matter, things that don't.
Nobody thought that we'd last
As long as we have
I guess we showed 'em
Now I don't mean to brag
We're pretty good at
Keepin' what we got goin'
I guess we beat the odds
Hey how 'bout us
Chorus
In this crazy world
Of mirrors and smoke
Where hearts can get broke
And forever's so hard to find
People still dream
And people still hope
That someday they'll get it right
And love like yours and mine is why
They Try
You know i'll kiss you downtown
Right there on your mouth
With everyone staring
I don't mind if they see
Just what you mean to me
Girl, that's something worth sharing
Love's a beautiful thing
Hey, let it catch on
Chorus
n this crazy world
Of mirrors and smoke
Where hearts can get broke
And forever's so hard to find
People still dream
And people still hope
That someday they'll get it right
And love like yours and mine is why
They Try
They try, they try, they try
Baby, our best days are up ahead
Girl we ain't done yet
No far from it
In this crazy world
Chorus
n this crazy world
Of mirrors and smoke
Where hearts can get broke
And forever's so hard to find
People still dream
And people still hope
That someday they'll get it right
And love like yours and mine is why
They Try
I was lost in darkness and sinking sand
Well I was barely nothing, a broken man
But you picked up the pieces of my heart in your hand
Then you came and showed to me love's second chance
Shine on, shine on, shine on me
Whenever something's missing
You're exactly what I need
Your love has shown me the light and now I finally see
So shine on, shine on, shine on me, yeah
Lord knows that I'm not perfect but I sure do try
And I see the man that I can be in your eyes
Well there are times I still get lost in yesterday
But you put the past behind me and you light my way
Shine on (let your love shine)
Shine on (on me)
Shine all your love on me, yeah
(Your love on me)
Shine all your love on me, yeah
Shine on, shine on, shine on me
Won't you keep on shining, yeah
Won't you keep on shining your love
Down on me, baby
Won`t you keep on shining, yeah
Won`t you keep on shining your love
Yeah, you're exactly what I need, baby
She got the long blonde hair
Got the red sports car
And you know she's got the
Top laid back
She got the movie star smile
Got the sun kissed tan
Santa Barbara in summer
Yeah, she feels like that
Hey, she's like a canyon drive
In a midnight sky
Those eyes are deep enough
To get lost
Her legs are palm tree tail
The way she walks
Like the heat on a runway
When the cameras go off
She's small town from the country
She ain't big time but she could be
CHORUS
Hey, Hollywood never looked this good
Bright as the big screen burns
Hey, I bet drivin' down Sunset
They're lookin' for a face like hers
Yeah, I've been all around this world
And she's be California
If California was a girl
She's like a red, red wine
Like a righteous wave
She's a day at the beach in Corona Del Mar
She's never been out there
Felt the bright spot light
But she could have her own star
On that Dreamer's Boulevard
I've driven down that coastline
And I've stood there under that big sign
(REPEAT CHORUS)
I'd chase that wild sunset
I'd be gone on my own way, way out west
Yeah, I've been all around this town
Hey, Hollywood never looked this good
Bright as the big screen
Hey, I bet drivin' down Sunset
Lookin' for a face like hers
Yeah, she'd be California
If California was a girl
Now she'd be California
Hey California
(REPEAT FIRST VERSE)
Yeah, she'd be California
No limits, no lines are drawn
The whole world disappears when
We're alone
That thin white cotton dress is
Blowin' in the wind
She takes my hand and the dance begins
With every move she makes
I'm deeper than I've been
Holding on and letting go
She just keeps givin' in
Takin' me higher and further
There she goes again givin' more than
She takes
'Cause it's more than love she makes
She goes all the way
No questions, no talking at all
Only the sound of our hearts as the fall
No matter what I need, her answer's
Always yes
I only have to dream and she does the
Rest
Ooo, ooo, ooo
My baby goes all the way, the way
She goes all the way
My baby goes all the way
Love’s tough, let’s get real,
What else can make you feel that bad?
If love was, it was a plain, and went down,
In a ball of flames and crashed,
You wouldn’t do that again.
Love is a hopeless dream, it’s kind of crazy.
I’d love to keep you thinkin next time maybe,
Maybe, just maybe,
This time I might get it right,
And you only gotta get it right one time.
One time.
Now love rocks, rocks your world.
And it’s good, it’s so good, girl I swear.
So come on, let’s do this thing,
I’m in. Baby don’t be scared.
Yeah, let’s go there.
Love is a hopeless dream, it’s kind of crazy.
I’d love to keep you thinkin next time maybe,
Maybe, just maybe,
This time I might get it right,
And you only gotta get it right one time.
Maybe I’m crazy falling for you,
Maybe, just maybe,
Maybe it’s true.
Love is a hopeless dream, it’s kind of crazy.
I’d love to keep you thinkin next time maybe,
Maybe, just maybe,
Love is a hopeless dream, it’s kind of crazy.
I’d love to keep you thinkin next time maybe,
Maybe, just maybe,
It’s a hopeless dream, it’s kind of crazy,
Keep you thinkin next time maybe,
This time I might get it right,
Oh Oh Oh Oh oohhh
I saw a red camaro today
It turned my head around it made me think
About back when my life was a game
And we played it all night long just like
Our favorite song. Summers just around the bend
Summers just around the bend.
Turn up the music loud
Take the T top down
And let the chrome shine
Cruise along the river side
Feel the wind blow
Through your hair through your toes
Got your bare feet hanging out the window
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
I saw a red camaro today
And I did a double take
I thought I saw her face
We were so reckless and young
And it all comes back to me
In storm wash memories
Summers just around the bend
Summers just around the bend
Turn up the music loud
Take the T top down
And let the chrome shine
Cruise along the river side
Feel the wind blow
Through your hair through your toes
Got your bare feet hanging out the window
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Looking back looking back
Sweet wine and sunshine
Looking back looking back
Man those were some good timmmmes
Oh oh oh oh
Everybody sing
Oh oh oh
1234
Turn up the music loud
Take the T top down
And let the chrome shine
Cruise along the river side
Feel the wind blow
Through your hair through your toes
Got your bare feet hanging out the window
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Turn up the music louuuuuuuuud
I don't want to spend another lonely night
ooooooo
I've got the lights turned up
The door is locked, the bedroom TV's on
Doing the only thing that gets me through the night
Since you've been gone
Prayin' for daylight waiting for that morning sun
So I can act like my whole life ain't going wrong
Baby come back to me, I swear I'll make it right
Don't make me spend another lonely night
Prayin' for daylight
I made a bad miscalculation
Betting you would never leave
'Cause if you're getting on with your new life
Then where does that leave me
Prayin for daylight
Prayin for daylight
Hoping that I didn't wait too long
That this is just the dark before the dawn
Deep in my heart I know
That you love me as much as i love you
And that you must be lying somehwere
Looking up to heaven too
Prayin' for daylight
I don't want to spend another lonely night
I don't want to spend another lonely night
Way on down to southern Alabama
With the guitars jammin' that's where we're headed
Straight up to Butte, Montana
Singin' "Lord, I Was Born a Ramblin' Man"
California to Oregon
Even New York City got one or two hill billies
Ready to hit the road
It's a brother and a sister kind of thang
Raise up your hands if you all wanna hang
With me and my gang
We live to ride, we ride to live
Me and my gang
Jump on that train
Grab hold of them reins
We're gonna rock this thang, cock this thang
Me and my gang, yeah
Me and my gang
We got hippies, gypsies, freaks and geeks
High class women in Daisy Duke denim
Bangin' on gongs and singin' our songs
Dude named Elrod jammin' on an iPod
Beer and bonfires
Wide open throttle, Coors in a bottle
It's all for one and one for all y'all
It's a brother and a sister kind of thang
Raise up your hands if you all wanna hang
With me and my gang
We live to ride, we ride to live
Me and my gang
Jump on that train
Grab hold of them reins
We're gonna rock this thang, cock this thang
Me and my gang, yeah
It's a brother and a sister kind of thang
Raise up your hands if you all wanna hang
With me and my gang
We live to ride, we ride to live
Me and my gang
Jump on that train
Grab hold of them reins
We're gonna rock this thang, cock this thang
Yeah, with me and my gang
Jump on that train, woo

Sometimes it feels like this world's spinning faster
Than it did in the old days
So naturally, we have more natural disasters
From the strain of a fast pace
Sunday was a day of rest
Now, it's one more day for progress
And we can't slow down
(And we can't slow down)
'Cause more is less
('Cause more is less)
It's all an endless process
I miss Mayberry
Sittin' on the porch drinkin' ice cold cherry coke
Where everything is black and white
(Nana nana nananananana)
Pickin' on the six string
People pass by and you call them by their first name
Watchin' the clouds roll by
Bye, bye
(Bye)
Sometimes I can hear this old earth shoutin'
Through the trees as the wind blows
That's when I climb up here on this mountain
To look through God's window
Now I can't fly
But I got two feet that get me high up here
Above the noise and city streets
My worries disappear
I miss Mayberry
Sittin' on the porch drinkin' ice cold cherry coke
Where everything is black and white
(Nana nana nananananana)
Pickin' on the six string
People pass by and you call them by their first name
Watchin' the clouds roll by
Bye, bye
(Bye)
Sometimes I dream I'm drivin' down an old dirt road
(Down an old dirt road)
Not even listed on a map
(Ooo, yea)
I pass a dad an' son carryin' a fishin' pole
But I always wake up every time I try to turn back
(Always wake up)
Now I miss Mayberry
Sittin' on the porch drinkin' ice cold cherry coke
Where everything is black and white
(Nana nana nananananana)
Pickin' on the six string
People pass by
And you call them by their first name
Watchin' the clouds roll by
Bye, bye

7:42 in the morning, 8 seconds before it all sinks in.
Put your best face on for the world and fake another
smile and just pretend. But your just puttin off the
pain, nothings ever really going to change.
Chorus:
So let it hurt, let it be, let it take you right down
to your knees, let it burn to the worst degree. May not
be what you want, but its what you need. Sometimes the
only way around it, is to let love do its work and let
it hurt. Yea let it hurt
3:28 in the morning. Counting up the spaces between the
rain. You're getting use to the rocks at the bottom,
your heart goes numb but the lonely stays the same. And
thats price your bound to pay, and theres nothing
really nothing anyone can say. Oh theres only just one
Chorus
Yea let it out
Yea let it hurt
You might just find your better for it, when you let go
and you, and you let let it hurt, let it bleed, let it
take you right done to your knees.
Hey...sometimes the only way around it, is to let love
do its work, let love do its work, so go on, go on and
let it hurt, let it burn
chorus
I should have stolen every moment
Now there's a page with not enough on it
Where we belong
I guess I'll never understand it
Why do we take it all for granted
Until it's gone?
Cause then it's gone
Love who you love
With all that you have
And don't waste the time that flies so fast
Love who you love
And say that you do
Hold on as tight as they'll let you
Love who you love
Give all ya' got like it's your last day
Your heart and soul before it's too late
And pull 'em in
So close enough that they can feel it
With every single breath that you're breathin'
Breathe it in again and again
Love who you love
With all that you have
And don't waste the time that flies so fast
Love who you love
And say that you do
Hold on as tight as they'll let you
Hold on, hold on
Love who you love
Say that you do
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Love who you love
With all that you have
And don't waste the time that flies so fast
Love who you love
And say that you do
Hold on as tight as they'll let you
Love who you love
Yeah, yeah
Love who you love
Yeah, yeah
Hold on, keep on holding on
Yeah, yeah
With every single breath you're breathing
Love who you love
Love who you love
Well, life's like a road that you travel on
There's one day here and the next day gone
Sometimes you bend, sometimes you stand
Sometimes you turn your back to the wind
There's a world outside every darkened door
Where Blues won't haunt you anymore
For the brave are free and lovers soar
Come ride with me to the distant shore
We won't hesitate
To break down the guarding gate
There's not much time left today, yeay
Life is a highway, I wanna ride it
All night long
If you're going my way, I wanna drive it
All night long
Through all these cities and all these towns
It's in my blood and it's all around
I love now like I loved you then
This is the road and these are the hands
From Mozambique to those Memphis nights
The Khyber Pass to Vancouver's lights
They knock me down
And back up again
You're in my blood
I'm not a lonely man
There's no load I can't hold
The road's so rough this I know
I'll be there when the light comes in
Just tell 'em we're survivors
Life is a highway, I wanna ride it
All night long
If your going my way, I wanna drive it
All night long
Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, yeah
Life is a highway, I wanna ride it
All night long (mmmm yeah)
If your going my way, I wanna drive it
All night long
There was a distance between you and I
(between you and I)
A misunderstanding once
But now, we look it in the eye
Ooooo...Yeah!
There ain't no load that I can't hold
The road's so rough this I know
I'll be there when the light comes in
Just tell 'em we're survivors
Life is a highway, I wanna ride it
All night long (all night long, yeah hey)
If your going my way, I wanna drive it
All night long
Life is a highway, I wanna ride it
All night long
If your going my way, I wanna drive it
All night long
Life is a highway, I wanna ride it
All night long
If your going my way, I wanna drive it
All night long
7:42 in the morning, 8 seconds before it all sinks in
Put your best face on for the world
Fake another smile and just pretend
But you're just putting off the pain
Nothing's ever really gonna change
So let it hurt
Let it beat
Let it take ya right down to your knees
Let it burn to the worst degree
May not be what ya want but it's what ya need
Sometimes the only way around it
Is to let love do its work
And let it hurt
Yeah, let it hurt
3:28 in the morning, counting up the spaces between the rain
You're getting used to the rocks at the bottom
Your heart goes numb but the lonely stays the same
And that's the price you're bound to pay
And there's really nothing anyone can say
Oh, there's only just one way
Let it hurt
Let it bleed
Let it take ya right down to your knees
Let it burn to the worst degree
May not be what ya want but it's what ya need
Sometimes the only way around it is to let love do its work
So go on, yeah, let it hurt
Ya might just find your better for it
When ya let go and you learn
To let it hurt
Let it bleed
Let it take ya right down to your knees
Sometimes the only way around it is to let love do its work
So go on, and let it hurt
Oh, let it hurt
It's just another simple
Voicemail message
I'll pick you up and we'll do
Dinner by the fire
And we'll just watch it snow
It's from a year ago
Baby, I love you
And I can't wait to see you tonight
I've been thinking about you
All day long
She pushes nine to save
But still can't erase 'cause --
[Chorus]
It makes her feel close
Makes her smile
It's like he's with her almost
Til the tears take over
She's still in hell
But she tells herself
She's ready to let him go
'Cause that makes her feel close
It's just a worn out
Notre Dame t-shirt
She's gotten mad
And tried to throw that thing away
At least a hundred times
But she's got it on tonight
He used to wear it on the weekend
Just runnin' around
Probably forgot he even left it
behind
She says it keeps her warm
Oh, but it's so much more
[Chorus]
It makes her feel close
Makes her smile
It's like he's with her almost
Til the tears take over
She's still in hell
But she tells herself
She's ready to let him go
'Cause that makes her feel close
To saying goodbye, getting
On with her life
Maybe give love another try
One more try
Oh, one more try
[Chorus]
It makes her feel close
Makes her smile
It's like he's with her almost
Til the tears take over
She's still in hell
But she tells herself
She's ready to let him go
'Cause that makes her feel close
It makes her feel close
Makes her feel close
It's just a worn out Notre
Dame t-shirt
She's gotten mad and tried
To throw that thing away
At least a hundred times
Bubba is a friend, he's a beer drinkin' buddy of mine
But lately somethin's happened that ain't hard to define
Bubba's got himself a cousin and I'm gonna make her mine
And she's brushin' both his teeth
And she's makin' him biscuits and gravy I just know it
And she's lovin him in that double wide late late at night
Y'know, I wish that I had Bubba's girl
I want Bubba's girl
Why can't I find a cousin like that?
Like bubbas girl
I want I want Bubba's girl
Why can't I find a cousin like that!
Opened my eyes this mornin' with a smile on my face
My arms wrapped around you took me away
And it got me to thinkin' that we need to do
Is take a Sunday drive and drive on through
Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday too
Let's disappear, gotta get out of here
Feel the wind across our face
We'll have some fun, gonna dance on the run
It's a perfect day to break away
We'll hit Tulsa by Tuesday follow the stars above
Spend the weekend in Vegas and gamble on sweet, sweet love
It don't matter what we do as long as I'm with you
Let's disappear, gotta get out of here
Feel the wind across our face
We'll have some fun, gonna dance on the run
It's a perfect day to break away
Yeah, yeah
Break away
Yeah, yeah
Let's disappear, gotta get out of here
Feel the wind across our face
We'll have some fun, gonna dance on the run
It's a perfect day to break away
Let's disappear, gotta get out of here
Girl, you're getting that look in your eyes
and it's starting to worry me
See, I ain't ready for no family ties
no woman's gonna hurry me
Just keep it friendly girl
'cause I don't wanna leave
If you start clinging to me
you know that I can't breathe
Baby, Baby, don't get hooked on me
Baby, Baby, don't get hooked on me
'Cause I'll just use you and I'll set you free
Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me
You've been my hot lovin' woman
And it's hot where you've been touching me
And I can tell by your trembling lips
You've been seeing just a little too much of me
Now don't let your life get all tangled up in mine,
'Cause I'll just use you, I can't take no clinging vine
Baby, Baby, don't get hooked on me
Baby, Baby, don't get hooked on me
'Cause I'll just use you and I'll set you free
Baby, Baby, don't get hooked on me
Baby, Baby, don't get hooked on me
no, no, no, Baby, Baby, don't get hooked on me, no
'Cause I'll just use you and I'll set you free, set you free
Baby let's pretend
We're just kids-seventeen again
Don't let anyone know
Hold on tight and let's just let it go
This ain't just a kiss we're stealing
Let's take our time and chase this feeling
Nowhere to be and all night to get there
All night-breathing the same air
Real close and real slow baby
Just you and me and love laying right here
Sunset watching us disappear
We can do anything I don't care
We've got nowhere to be and all
Night to get there
Secret hideaway
Twilight choir in a serenade
The whole world's spinning so fast
Let's jump off and let it roll right past us
We can stay this way forever
Getting gone-getting lost together
Nowhere to be and all night to get there
All night-breathing the same air
Real close and real slow baby
Just you and me and love laying right here
Sunset watching us disappear
We can do anything-I don't care
We've got nowhere to be and all
Night to get there
Nowhere to be and all night to get there
All night-breathing the same air
Real close and real slow baby
Just you and me and love laying right here
Sunset watching us disappear
We can do anything-I don't care
We've got nowhere to be and all
Night to get there
Fifth floor, she's up in her dorm studying for her mid-term. She's had
one of those weeks where the world it seems is against her. Right on
cue a picture pops up on her laptop. She can't pick herself on up fast
enough.
Chorus:
Sometimes you just need a little home;
So hey mom and dad, what's goin on.
Im just checkin in; no there aint nothin wrong.
Sometimes you just need a little home.
Well he's tired, sits down in the sand, shoebox in his hand, half a
world away. And he smiles when he sees who it's from, he lays down
his gun, no he can't wait for cards and letters and somethin sweet.
He takes a bite and reads how everybody sends their love. He tears
Chorus:
Sometimes you just need a little home;
A little let you know you're not alone.
To carry in your heart and keeps your spirits strong.
Sometimes you just need a little home.
Sometimes; I'd like to drive back through that little town.
Sometimes; and get my feet back off. Get my feet back off the
ground.
Sometimes you just need a little home. A little hey you've been gone
way too long. Yeah way too long.
No matter how growed up you get, oh no matter how far you run.
2X- Sometimes you just need a little home.
Do I cry, in the night?
Do I long to hold you tight?
And do I wake, wanting you?
Yes I do
Do I recall, everyday,
How you took my breath away?
Do I remember loving you?
Yes I do
Yes I do dream of all we had together
Yes it's true we lost it all forever
Do I pray anyway?
Yes I do
Well I don't live in the past
Wanting love that wouldn't last
Well I don't ache, like I used to
Yes I do
Yes I do dream of all we had together
Yes it's true we've lost it all forever
Do I pray anyway?
Every road that I've been down
The only truth that I have found
There's only one thing I can't live without
I was searching for something I thought I would never find
Losing my mind
In and out of bad love, I thought I was born to lose
Then came you
I thought I knew what the real thing was
But nothing shakes me like your love does
I've been hypnotized
Now I realize
Every time I get lost in a temperamental mood
You still stay cool
Just when I think that this life's about to drive me insane
You take the reins
Every time I feel I'm drifting off course
You're my compass, you're my one true north
In a mixed up world
You make sense to me girl
Yeah, every road girl
Leads me to you
And baby, that's all I need to know
Every road that I've been down in my life
Every time I feel I'm taking off
Every road that I've been down in my life
Every road girl, leads me to you
Yes it did, yes it did
Every road girl
In a book in a box in the closet
In a line in a song I once heard
In a moment on a front porch late one June
In a breath inside a whisper beneath the moon
There it was at the tip of my fingers
There it was on the tip of my tongue
There you were and I had never been that far
There it was the whole world wrapped inside my arms
And I let it all slip away
What do I do now that you're gone
No back up plan, no second chance
And no one else to blame
All I can hear in the silence that remains
Are the words I couldn't say
There's a rain that'll never stop falling
There's a wall that I've tried to take down
What I should've said just wouldn't pass my lips
So I held back and now we've come to this
And it's too late now
What do I do now that you're gone
No back up plan, no second chance
And no one else to blame
All I can hear in the silence that remains
Are the words I couldn't say
Are the words I couldn't say
I should have found a way to tell you how I felt
Now the only one I'm tellin' is myself
What do I do now that you're gone
No back up plan, no second chance
And no one else to blame
All I can hear in the silence that remains
Are the words I couldn't say
What do I do, what do I say
And no else to blame
All I can hear in the silence that remains
Baby, look here at me
Have you ever seen me this way?
I've been fumblin' for words
Through the tears and the hurt and the pain
I'm gonna lay it all out
On the line tonight
And I think that it?s time
To tell this uphill fight goodbye
Have you ever had to love someone
That just don't feel the same?
Trying to make somebody care for you
The way I do is like trying to catch the rain
And if love is really forever
I'm a winner at a losing game
I know that baby, you?ve tried
To find me somewhere inside of you
But you know you can't lie
Girl, you can?t hide the truth, oh no
Sometimes two hearts just can?t dance
To the same beat
So I'll pack up my things
And I?ll take what remains of me
Have you ever had to love someone
That just don't feel the same?
Trying to make somebody care for you
The way I do is like trying to catch the rain
And if love is really forever
I'm a winner at a losing game
I know that I?ll never be
The man that you need or love
Yeah, baby, it's killing me to stand here and see
I'm not what you?ve been dreaming of
Have you ever had to love someone
That just don't feel the same?
Trying to make somebody care for you
The way I do is like trying to catch the rain
If love is really forever
I'm a winner at a losing game
If love is really forever
I'm a winner at a losing game
I?m tired of losing
Rascal Flatts Why Wait lyrics
Why Wait Lyrics
Verse 1
What do ya say girl we do something crazy
Quit puttin' it off, you know what I'm sayin
Ain't like it ain't gonna happen
Forever's a given
It's already written
Who we kiddin' baby, come on
The stars can't line up any straighter
Let's do it now and think about it later
chorus
Why wait another minute
For something we shoulda done yesterday
I know a little church with a preacher
Who could hook us up right away
Love don't need a reason
Baby, I don't see how I could love you anymore
Than I do today
So why wait
Verse 2
Now I love your momma, let's save her some trouble
And your daddy won't mind if we save him a bundle
Girl, it just so happens
That ring that you wanted
Well guess what, I bought it
It's in my pocket, baby come on
Let's get it done, let's get it on your left hand
This is me girl poppin' the question
chorus
Why wait another minute
For something we shoulda done yesterday
I know a little church with a preacher
Who could hook us up right away
Love don't need a reason
Baby, I don't see how I could love you anymore
Than I do today
So why wait
bridge
Let's do something crazy
http://www.elyricsworld.com/why_wait_lyrics_rascal_flatts.html
'Cause crazy's what you make me
chorus
Why wait another minute (wait another minute)
Wait another minute, come on (come on)
Well I know a little church with a preacher
Who could hook us up right away
Love don't need a reason
Baby, I don't see how I could love you anymore
Than I do today
So why wait
Why wait (why wait)
It must've been in a place so dark you couldn't feel the light
Reachin' for you through that stormy cloud
Now here we are gathered in our little hometown
This can't be the way you meant to draw a crowd
Oh, why? That's what I keep askin'
Was there anything I could have said or done?
Oh, I had no clue you were masking
A troubled soul, God only knows what went wrong
And why you'd leave the stage in the middle of a song
Now in my mind I keep you frozen as a seventeen year old
Roundin' third to score the winning run
You always played with passion no matter what the game
When you took the stage, you shined just like the sun
Oh, why? That's what I keep askin'
And was there anything I could have said or done?
Oh, I had no clue you were masking
A troubled soul, oh, God only knows what went wrong
And why you'd leave the stage in the middle of a song
Now the oak trees are swayin' in the early autumn breeze
The golden sun is shining on my face
The tangled thoughts I hear a mockingbird sing
This old world really ain't that bad a place
Oh, why? There's no comprehending
And who am I to try to judge or explain?
Oh, but I do have one burning question
Who told you life wasn't worth the fight?
They were wrong, they lied, and now you're gone, and we cried
'Cause it's not like you to walk away in the middle of a song
There you are standing strong,
I'm a leaf holding on
You believe like a child,
In this fire runnin' wild
Oh I love how you see
Right to the heart of me
You're a waterfall, washing over me
I'm a thirsty man let me drink you in
Well I am on my way,
You're a mountain top
When I reach for you, your love lifts me up
All that I want is to be
Where you are
I'm the frozen ground, you're the warm sunlight
Shining down on me, baby just in time
Well I have never been in a love like this
Oh, you move my soul every time we kiss
And I love how you heal;
I can't believe how alive I feel
I spent the morning at an old friend's grave
Flowers and Amazing Grace, he was a good man
He spent his whole life spinnin' his wheels
Never knowin' how the real thing feels
He never took a chance or took the time to dance
And I stood there thinking as I said goodbye
Today's the first day of the rest of my life
I'm gonna stop lookin' back and start movin' on
And learn how to face my fears
Love with all of my heart, make my mark
I wanna leave somethin' here
Go out on a ledge, without any net
That's what I'm gonna be about
Yeah, I wanna be runnin'
When the sand runs out
'Cause people do it everyday
Promise themselves they're gonna change
I've been there but I'm changin' from the inside out
That was then and this is now
I'm a new man, yeah I'm a brand new man
And when they carve my stone, they'll write these words
"Here lies a man who lived life for all that its worth"
I'm gonna stop lookin' back and start movin' on
Learn how to face my fears
Love with all of my heart, make my mark
I wanna leave something here
Go out on a ledge, without any net
That's what I'm gonna be about
Yeah I wanna be runnin'
When the sand runs out, oh yeah
And as a cold wind blows across the graveyard
I think I hear, the voice of my old friend whisper in my ear
I'm gonna stop lookin' back and start movin' on
Learn how to face my fears
Love with all of my heart, make my mark
I wanna leave somethin' here
Go out on a ledge, without any net
That's what I'm gonna be about
Yeah I wanna be runnin'
When the sand runs out
I wanna be runnin'
When the sand runs out
I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don't bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let ?em out
I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while even though
Goin' on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend I'm okay
But that's not what gets me
What hurts the most
Was being so close
And havin' so much to say
And watchin' you walk away
And never knowin'
What could've been
And not seein' that lovin' you
Is what I was tryin' to do
It's hard to deal with the pain of losin' you everywhere I go
But I'm doin' it
It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone
Still harder gettin' up, gettin' dressed, livin' with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade, give away all the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken
What hurts the most
Is being so close
And havin' so much to say
(Much to say)
And watchin' you walk away
And never knowin'
What could've been
And not seein' that lovin' you
Is what I was tryin' to do, oh
Oh yeah
What hurts the most
Was being so close
And havin' so much to say
(To say)
And watchin' you walk away
And never knowin'
What could've been
And not seein' that lovin' you
Is what I was tryin' to do
Not seein' that lovin' you
That's what I was trying to do, ooo
Everybody needs it
Everybody wants it
Everybody's searching for someone
Been down a thousand highways
I never thought would end
Baby, I've been
Waiting all my life to find you
Always been one step behind you
Your love babe
I've been waiting all my life
I was tired of waiting
Every night was praying
Everyday would be the day I'd find you
I grew so impatient, how long would it take
To know you were out there somewhere
Somewhere waiting, wondering just like me
I've been waiting all my life to love you
All that time I was dreaming of you
Your love babe
I've been waiting all my life
And did I lose faith, did I lose heart
Maybe I did, but I never lost my way
To where you are-I've been
Your love I've been waiting
Your love I've been waiting all my life
Ain't nothing better than anticipation
Tonight's been playing over in my head
I've had enough of all the expectations
Waiting's the hardest part, like Tom Petty said
We cutting loose like we're on a mission
Them stars are shining, it's a perfect night
I swear, you're looking like a moon-lit vision
It's taking over, and I won't fight
That's because tonight, tonight,
Been waiting to see you.
Tonight, tonight,
We can't go wrong.
It feels so right,
Just being here with you.
We've been waiting for this moment all day long.
Tonight, tonight, tonight yeah.
Tonight
The room is spinning like a disco ball
Everybody's dancing, it's a party yall
You move yourself in that graffiti sky
Gives you that feeling, everything's gonna be alright
We just got rocking, now we rolling, rolling
Ain't going home until they're closing, closing
We'll see the sun before you know it, know it
And you won't wanna say good-bye
That's because tonight, tonight,
Been waiting to see you.
Tonight, tonight,
We can't go wrong.
It feels so right,
Just being here with you.
We've been waiting for this moment all day long.
Tonight's the night you've waited all week for
You're gonna take it till you just can't take no more
Better not wait up for me
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Oh, tonight, tonight, tonight
That's because tonight, tonight,
Been waiting to see you.
Tonight, tonight,
We can't go wrong.
It feels so right,
Just being here with you.
We've been waiting for this moment.
That's because tonight, tonight,
Been waiting to see you.
Tonight, tonight,
We can't go wrong.
It feels so right,
Just being here with you.
We've been waiting for this moment all day long.
Can't get enough of this everyday love
Can't get enough of this everyday love
Each morning the sun shines through my window
Lands on the face of a dream come true
I shuffle to the kitchen for my coffee
And catch up on the front page morning news
Then she walks up behind me and throws her arms around my neck
Just another normal thing I've come to expect
It's ordinary plain and simple
Typical, this everyday love
Same ol', same ol' keeping it new
(Same ol'/This everyday love)
Emotional, so familiar
Nothing about it too peculiar
Oh, but I can't get enough
Of this everyday love
Every afternoon I make a phone call
Listen to the voice that warms my heart
I drag myself through a few more hours
Then head on home to try and beat the dark
Her smile will be right there when I step through that door
And it will be that way tomorrow, just like everyday before
Wouldn't change one single thing about it
No, it's run-of-the-mill, still I can't live without it
Yeah, of this everyday love
Can't get enough of this everyday love
Can't get enough of this everyday love
Can't get enough of this everyday love
Hey baby, is that you?
Wow, your hair got so long
Yeah, yeah, I love it, I really do
Norma Jean, ain't that the song we'd sing in the car
Drivin' downtown, top down, makin' the rounds
Checking out the bands on Doheny Avenue
Yeah, life throws you curves
But you've learned to swerve
Me, I swung and I missed
And the next thing ya know, I'm reminiscing
Dreaming old dreams, wishing old wishes
Like you would be back again
I wake up and teardrops that fall down like rain
I put on that old song we danced to and then
I head off into my job, guess not much has changed
Punch the clock, head for home
Check the phone, just in case
Go to bed, dream of you
That's what I'm doin' these days
Yeah, that's what I'm doin'
Someone told me, after college, you ran off to Vegas
You married a rodeo cowboy, why?
That ain't the girl I knew
Me, I've been a few places mostly here and there once or twice
Still sortin' out life, but I'm doin' all right
Yeah, it's good to see you, too
Well, hey girl you're late
And those planes they don't wait
But if you ever come back
Around this sleepy old town
Promise me you'll stop in
To see an old friend, and until then
I wake up and teardrops that fall down like rain
I put on that old song we danced to and then
I head off into my job, guess not much has changed
Punch the clock, head for home
Check the phone, just in case
Go to bed, dream of you
That's what I'm doin' these days
I wake up and teardrops that fall down like rain
I put on that old song we danced to and then
I head off into my job, guess not much has changed
Punch the clock, head for home
Check the phone, just in case
Go to bed, dream of you
That's what I'm doin' these
I wake up and teardrops that fall down like rain
I put on that old song we danced to and then
I wake up and teardrops that fall down like rain
I put on that old song we danced to and then
I wake up and teardrops that fall down like rain
Think about the way the earth revolves around the sun
Gravity holds it all in place and keeps it all from coming undone
That’s the way, that’s the way I feel about you
Think about how a baby cries to feel his mother’s touch
And how he finally rest so peacefully when she finally picks him up
That’s the way, that’s the way I feel about you
Oh they say the sky the limit, but I say there is so much more
Because your love takes me higher than I’ve ever been before
Where the heavens hold the stars that why they stay where they are
I know why they shine the way the do
That’s the way, that’s the way I feel about you
Just like a solider fights for what he knows is right
He gladly gives his last breathe of freedom and he wouldn’t even think twice
That’s the way, that’s the way I feel about you.
Oh they say the sky the limit, but I say there is so much more
Because your love takes me higher than I’ve ever been before
Where the heavens hold the stars that why they stay where they are
I know why they shine the way the do
That’s the way, that’s the way I feel about you
Oh I may not be a wise man but I know one things is true
That the reapers only reason is to find the ocean blue
That’s the way, that’s the way I feel about you
(That’s the way I feel about you)
If you think I've second guessed it
Or for one minute I'd regret it
This life with you
No, there's never been a moment
Not one time I haven't known it
What I have with you
You hold my heart
Deep inside of every single part
If I could be anything
I wish that I could be, oh baby
If I could rule all the kingdoms
Maybe even sail the seven seas
If I could do all the things
I only dream that I could do
I'd still be
The man in love with you
I try every day to show it
Just to make sure that you know it
I'm here to stay
And you'll never have a reason
To ever think I'm leaving
There's just no way
It's no mystery
How I feel
Baby, can't you see
I can't go places
I always see traces
Of the only thing in life I'll ever need
If I could do all the things
I only dream that I could do
I'd still be
The man in love with you
I'd still be
Safe in the eye of the storm
Mercy and faith keep me warm
Oh the dreams I've seen tattered and torn
Just when I think I can't take anymore
You give me shelter and never will I be alone
Hold me closer and help me to find my way home
Cause its a long road through the darkest of nights
But your love won't let me lose sight
Of the glory of life
High is this mountain I climb
Deep is this river of time
The devils got trouble in mind
Sometimes I stumble
But you're there to remind me
Standing right there beside me
You give me shelter and never will I be alone
Hold me closer and help me to find my way home
Cause its a long road through the darkest of nights
But your love won't let me lose sight
Of the glory of life
This world has left me tangled up inside
No where left to hide
And the wind and rain
Is baring down on me
(Baring down, wearing down on me)
You give me shelter and never will I be alone
Hold me closer and help me to find my way home
Through the darkest of nights
But your love won't let me lose sight
You give me shelter and never will I be alone
Hold me closer and help me to find my way home
Cause its a long road through the darkest of nights
But your love won't let me lose sight
I had all but given up on finding the one that I could fall into
On the day before you
I was ready to settle for less than love and not much more
There was no such thing as a dream come true
Oh, but that was on the day before you
Now you're here and everything's changing
Suddenly life means so much
I can't wait to wake up tomorrow
And find out this promise is true
I will never have to go back to the day before you
In your eyes I see forever
It makes me wish that my life never knew the day before you
Oh, but Heaven knows those years without you
Were shapin' my heart for the day that I found you
If you're the reason for all that I've been through
Then I'm thankful for the day before you, yeah, yeah
Now you're here and everything's changing
Suddenly life means so much
I can't wait to wake up tomorrow
And find out this promise is true
I will never have to go back to the day before you
Was the last day that I ever lived alone
And I'm never goin' back, no, I'm never goin' back
Now you're here and everything's changing
Suddenly life means so much
I can't wait to wake up tomorrow
And find out this promise is true
I will never have to go back to
Yeah, I will never have to go back to
There's a place in your heart where nobody's been.
Take me there.
Things nobody knows, not even your friends.
Take me there.
Tell me about your momma, your daddy, your home town, show me around.
I wanna see it all, don't leave anything out.
I wanna know, everything about you.
And I wanna go, down every road you've been.
Where your hopes and dreams and wishes live, where you keep the rest of your life hid.
I wanna know the girl behind that pretty stare.
Take me there.
Your first real kiss, your first true love, you were scared.
Show me where.
You learned about life, spent your summer nights, without a care.
Take me there.
I wanna roll down mainstreet and backroads like you did when you were a kid.
What makes you who you are, tell me what your story is.
I wanna know, everything about you.
And I wanna go, down every road you've been.
Where your hopes and dreams and wishes live, where you keep the rest of your life hid.
I wanna know the girl behind that pretty stare.
Take me there.
I wanna roll down mainstreet.
I wanna know your hopes and your dreams.
Take me, take me there.
Well ya can't eat, can't sleep, down on the floor
Cuz you've never fell this hard before
Now there's nothing in this world ya want more
Than to be free
And you're lost somewhere you swore you'd never go
And the way back looks like a dead end road
but with one step, one breath, one smile at a time
Let me get you out of here
Wipe away all your tears
Now you're safe in these arms of mine
I won't ever let you down
Your heart will start to come around
We're gonna change your life
One sunrise at a time
Well you can't get rid of all his lies
Thinking 'bout him all the time
Can I be the reason you've got nothing on your mind?
Let me get you out of here
Wipe away all your tears
Now you're safe in these arms of mine
I won't ever let you down
Your heart will start to come around
We're gonna change your life
One sunrise at a time
Let me hold you tight all through the night
'Til you awake
'Til all this pain is gone with yesterday
Ooh let me get you out of here
I won't ever let you down
Your heart will start to come around
We're gonna change your life
You looked a little cold to me
So I gave you that army green jacket that was in my truck
It didn't fit, you didn't care, a little chill was in the air
And we were just warming up
You smiled and we sang
I wanna thank the band, whoever they were
For playing our song and
All the stars up there
For getting in line and shinin' down on
That boardwalk you and I strolled down
Lights dancin' on the water from the merry-go-round
We made a lot of memories, ain't no doubt
But there's only one summer young
I stood behind you while you swayed
And looked down at your pretty face
Thought "Man I'm fallin' hard for her"
Yeah, we get those moments now and then
The kind you pray will never end
And that's exactly where we were
Oh, I smiled while you danced
I wanna thank the band, whoever they were
For playing our song and
All the stars up there
For getting in line and shinin' down on
That boardwalk you and I strolled down
Lights dancin' on the water from the merry-go-round
We made a lot of memories, ain't no doubt
But there's only one summer young
Every time we hear it now
It's gonna take us back
I wanna thank the band, whoever they were
For playing our song and
All the stars up there
For getting in line and shinin' down on
That boardwalk you and I strolled down
Lights dancin' on the water from the merry-go-round
We made a lot of memories, ain't no doubt
But there's only one summer young
Oh, summer young
Summer young
Ooh, summer young
Ha ha ha ha ha
It's summer nights, babe!
Woo! Yeah, yeah, yeah
Come on ladies, it's time to pop that top
And fellas, I know you're ready to rock
We went crazy cooped all winter long
And school is out, so let's get it on
Flip flop tans and some white sand, I know the perfect spot
Well, the sunset better set soon
So we can get in the mood
Things start getting all heated up
When it starts getting cool, yeah
Summer nights, everybody, are you with me?
Let that Igloo cooler mark your piece of paradise
Summer nights, everybody's feeling sexy
Holler if you're ready for some summer nights
A-come on, oh yeah, yeah
Now fellas, you better watch your step
Don't let them teeny French bikinis make you lose your breath
Back to the ladies, y'all keep doing y'all's thang
'Cause everything about you makes me wanna scream
The sun is getting low, there it goes
Here we go, here comes the moon, yeah
Things start getting all heated up
When it starts getting cool, yeah
Summer nights, everybody, are you with me?
Let that Igloo cooler mark your piece of paradise
Summer nights, everybody's feeling sexy
Holler if you're ready for some summer nights
It's a party down in Padre
Big bonfire on the beach
It's Coronas in Daytona y'all
Where it's wild and it's free
Summer nights, everybody, are you with me?
Let that Igloo cooler mark your piece of paradise
Summer nights, everybody's feeling sexy
Holler if you're ready for some summer nights
A-come on
Summer nights, everybody, are you with me?
Let that Igloo cooler mark your piece of paradise
Summer nights, everybody's feeling sexy
Holler if you're ready for some summer nights
Yeah, oh, are you ready?
Are you ready? Are you ready?
For some summer nights
Yeah baby
Summer nights!
It's summer nights
Come on!
Ooo, Ooo, Ooo-come on,
Still feels good-oh,oh,oh
That old t-shirt you wear to bed
Hangin' off your shoulder by a thread
The one you ripped off me when
We first met
Still feels good
That old familiar song blarin'
From my car
We know every note, every word
By heart
Puts a smile on your face 'cause
You know it's ours
And it still feels good
Your fingers hooked around
My belt loops
Leanin' up against my ride
Remember that first time I touched you
It doesn't matter-I've held you a
Million times
Oh, and it still feels good
We made some crazy plans, had some
Crazy dreams
And now that we've reached
A few you would think
That it would get old to you and me
But it still feels good, still feels good
Oh, your fingers hooked around
My belt loops
Leanin' up against my ride
Remember the first time I touched you
It doesn't matter, I've held you-
I've touched you
I've felt you-I've loved you-
And it still feels good
Yeah and it still feels good, baby
Yeah, it still feeld good-yeah, yeah, yeah
Still feels good
There's that star, the one they said we'd never reach
And just close your eyes
There's the missing moon, there's the milky way
Heaven's straight ahead, we'll be there today
Rainbows right and left, sunshine everywhere
If it couldn't be baby, how did we get here?
Some say we'll never get it off the ground
And some say we'll never make it out of town
And someday we'll end up a world apart
And some say we're a couple of crazy kids
And some say that's exactly what they did
And I say you got to go with your heart
And baby, look where we are
There's that home, the one they said we'd never share
And just close your eyes
There's the picket fence, there's our mailbox
Puppy on the porch and roses up the walk
Shinny minivan, kids in every seat
Someday we'll look back and say, "It wasn't just a dream"
Some say we'll never get it off the ground
And some say we'll never make it out of town
And someday we'll end up a world apart
And some say we're a couple of crazy kids
And some say that's exactly what they did
And I say you got to go with your heart
And baby, look where we are
Some say we'll never get it off the ground
And some say we'll never make it out of town
And someday we'll end up a world apart
And some say we're a couple of crazy kids
And some say that's exactly what they did
And I say you got to go with your heart
And baby, look where we are
Oh oh, some say
Some say, yes they do
Ooo, some say, yeah
Someday, some say
She's got a suitcase packed in the trunk, trunk, trunk
She's got a see you later song that went bump, bump, bump
She's got a hurtin heavy heart that went thump, thump, thump
She's leaving
She's got a bucket of tears goin' drop, drip, drop
And that ring on her finger is comin' off, off, off
She's got a boyfriend yelling to stop, stop, stop
She's leaving
[Chorus:]
Should have done this, should have done that
Should have seen it comin', guess you don't see nothing when you're runnin' 'round
She's history, wrapped in a memory,
Tied up tight with a broken heart strings of the things that will never be
She's leaving
She left your dreams in the washing machine, chine, chine
Now she's a red light turning to green, green, green
She's a goner if you know what I mean, mean, mean
She's leaving
[Chorus:]
Should have done this, should have done that
Should have seen it comin', guess you don't see nothing when you're runnin' 'round
She's history, wrapped in a memory,
Tied up tight with a broken heart strings of the things that will never be
She's leaving
Oh no, she's leaving
Look at her go down right over your road,
Saying to herself should have done this a long time ago
[Chorus:]
Should have done this, should have done that
Should have seen it comin', guess you don't see nothing when you're runnin' 'round
She's history, wrapped in a memory,
Tied up tight with a broken heart strings of the things that will never be
She's, she's, she's leaving
She's leaving
She's leaving
Oh, she's leaving
She's leaving
(She's leaving, man)
Sara Beth is scared to death
To hear what the doctor will say
She hasn't been well, since the day that she fell
And the bruise it just won't go away
So she sits and she waits with her mother and dad
And flips through an old magazine
Till the nurse with the smile stands at the door
And says, ?Will you please come with me??
Sara Beth is scared to death
?Cause the doctor just told her the news
Between the red cells and white, something's not right
But we're gonna take care of you
Six chances in ten, it won't come back again
With the therapy we're gonna try
It's just been approved, it's the strongest there is
And I think we caught it in time
And Sara Beth closes her eyes
And she dreams she's dancing
Around and around without any cares
And her very first love is holding her close
And a soft wind is blowing her hair
Sara Beth is scared to death
As she sits holding her mom
?Cause it would be a mistake for someone to take
A girl with no hair to the prom
For just this morning, right there on her pillow
Was the cruelest of any surprise
And she cried when she gathered it all in her hands
The proof that she couldn't deny
And Sara Beth closes her eyes
And she dreams she's dancing
Around and around without any cares
And her very first love was holding her close
And a soft wind is blowing her hair
It's quarter to seven, that boy's at the door
And her daddy ushers him in
And when he takes off his cap
They all start to cry
?Cause this morning where his hair had been
Softly she touches just skin
And they go dancing
Around and around without any cares
And her very first true love is holding her close
You say you want a revolution
Well, you know we all wanna change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know we all wanna change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be alright, alright
Don't you know it's gonna be alright
You say you got a real solution
Well, you know we'd all love to see the plan, oh yeah
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know we're all doing what we can
But if you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is, brother, you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be alright
Know it's gonna be alright
Don't you know it's gonna be alright, hey, hey
You say you'll change the constitution
Well, you know we all wanna change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well, you know you better free your mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain't gonna make it with anyone, anyhow
Don't you know it's gonna be alright
To know it's gonna be alright
Know it's gonna be alright
Oh, alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright
You're a single mom with three kids and just as many jobs your candle burns at both ends but you can't make it stop Your a farmer on a John Deer honest work for little play now throw that thing in park it's time to play
[CHORUS]
Like it's midnight in Vegas Mardi Gras in New Orleans New Years Eve in New York City you know what I mean it's like lovers in Paris sunset strip in L.A. doesn't matter where you are well it's alright it's alright to play
Oh yes it is
Where there ain't no drugs or doctors who can get you what you need I've got the magic potion and it doesn't cost a thing yeah you've seen some hard times life just works out that way when your smack dab in the middle you gotta play
[CHORUS]
Hey Hey
Like a kiss in the moonlight barefoot walks on the beach like sipping Champaine straight from a bottle you know what I mean
[CHORUS]
(It's alright to play it's alright it's alright it's alright to play yeah it's alright)
Come on come on come on
It's alright to play (it's alright to play it's alright it's alright it's alright to play)

Yeah it's alright to play (it's alright to play yeah it's alright it's alright to play)
Well it's alright it's alright well it's alright alright to play
One good love
Erases all the bitter tears on an empty dance hall
All those lonely nights when she never called
It just don't seem so tragic after all
With one good love
One good love
And daddy's hands were strong and fair
And a momma understands because she's been there
And all mistakes were just because they cared so much
With one good love
One good love
You bless all my memories
You soften the fall of my tears
And in my arms you're more than enough
You're one good love
Hey you're one good love
Yeah, you're one good love
One good love
And born again means more than pass the plate and bow your head
Yes, you bury what needs burying, you raise it from the dead
The very best, you heal the brokeness, give grace to everyone
With one good love
Yeah, oh, one good love
Hey, hey, one good love
Yeah, I'll give you one good love
Oh, give me one good love now, love yeah
ooooooo yeah
Lord, I feel born again, yeah
You got to give me one good love now
Should've been much further then this by now
A little bit more gone a little less twisted around
Should've been much better you'd think
But I'm not, I'm still stuck, I'm still here in this rut
Looking back on everything that we had
Holding on to words that we can't take back
What am I to do with the past
When it's all that I have and I can't get you back
Now I wait by the phone in the dark drunk on hope
I'm so lost, I'm so alone and I just want you to know
Everywhere that I go I'm reminded of us
Where we've been, all we've done and all the love that we shared
Once, oh, once
I remember you sayin' I was the one
And nothing could change that but you were wrong
It's funny how life turns on a dime
Now we don't even talk, I just stare at these walls
And I wait by the phone in the dark drunk on hope
I'm so lost, I'm so alone and I just want you to know
Everywhere that I go I'm reminded of us
Where we've been, all we've done and all the love that we shared
Once, you made the world feel so right
Once, you were my morning, noon and night
Why'd we slip away? Why did it all change?
How will I ever be the same?
Now I wait by the phone in the dark drunk on hope
I'm so lost, I'm so alone and I just want you to know
Everywhere that I go I'm reminded of us
Where we've been, all we've done and the love that we shared
Now I wait by the phone in the dark drunk on hope
I'm so lost, I'm so alone and I just want you to know
Everywhere that I go I'm reminded of us
Where we've been, all we've done and all the love that we shared
Should've been much further then this by now
There's nothing in my life,
I'd say I regret,
But there's something in your eyes that makes me forget,
The times that I believed that love was good as love could be,
I had it all, but I was wrong.
Thought I'd been touched,
Thought I'd been kissed,
Thought I'd been loved,
But it was nothing like this.
You can't describe the sea,
Unless you been there before.
It's just a mystery,
Until your standing on the shore,
And moved by every wave
Taking your breath away like you do,
To me.
Thought I'd been touched,
Thought I'd been kissed,
Thought I'd been loved,
But it was nothing nothing like this.
It's like another life,
Like I haven't felt a thing, until you.
Thought I'd been touched,
Thought I'd been kissed,
Thought I'd been loved,
But it was nothing like this.
Ohhhhh hooo
It was nothing like this
Ohhhhhh ohhhhhhh ohh
Nothing like, nothing like this.
Ridin' down the road in my pick-up truck
Ya' better be ready 'cause I'm pickin' you up
With a full moon a shinin' and a little bit a' luck
We'll run out outta gas and maybe get stuck
We could get lost baby I don't care
I ain't worried as long as you're there
There ain't no place that I'd rather be
Next to you, sittin' next to me
There ain't no place that I'd rather be
Next to you, next to me
Barbecue chicken in aluminum foil
Just enough money for my gas and oil
Who needs your shrimp and your caviar
I'd sooner have you just the way you are
Rich people got their money to hold
Mansion on the hill and diamonds and gold
It can't compare as far as I can see
Next to you sittin' next to me
There ain't no place that I'd rather be
Next to you, next to me
Radio playin' our favorite song
I'll change the station if the news comes on
When the signal ain't comin' in too strong
We'll make our own music honey all night long
If the Good Lord's willin' when we're old and gray
The kids are grown up and moved away
We'll be rockin' there side by side
With barbeque chicken and the tv guide
Well, there ain't no place that I'd rather be
Next to, sittin' next to me
No, there ain't no place that I'd rather be
Next to you, next to me
There ain't no place that I'd rather be
Next to you, sittin' next to me
Next to you, next to me
Next to you, next to me
Next to you, next to me
Last night you gave me a kiss
You didn't know it, but I was awake when you did
You were quiet, you were gonna let me sleep
So I just laid there pretending to be
You said some things you didn't know I could hear
And the words "I love you" never sounded so sincere
It's gonna make it hard to tell you that I'm leaving
Now that I know just how much you care
You finally gave me one good reason not to go
But staying here is my worst fear
This morning I rolled out of bed
Recalling all the sweet things you said
This was the day I was gonna hurt you bad
Called out your name, but you didn't answer back
I searched the house to find out what was wrong
Like a ton of bricks, it hit me you were gone
All along I knew that there was something missing
And only one thing left to do
I had to leave behind this life that we'd been living
But the only thing that left was you
It's gonna make it hard to tell you that I'm leaving
Now that I know just how much you care
You finally gave me one good reason not to go
But being alone is my worst fear
I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow
And each road leads you where you want to go
And if you're faced with the choice and you have to choose
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you
And if one door opens to another door closed
I hope you keep on walkin' ?til you find the window
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile
But more than anything, more than anything
My wish for you
Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
You never need to carry more than you can hold
And while you're out there gettin' where you're gettin' to
I hope you know somebody loves you
And wants the same things too
Yeah, this is my wish
I hope you never look back but you never forget
All the ones who love you and the place you left
I hope you always forgive and you never regret
And you help somebody every chance you get
Oh, you'd find God's grace in every mistake
And always give more than you take
But more than anything, yeah more than anything
My wish for you
Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
You never need to carry more than you can hold
And while you're out there gettin' where you're gettin' to
I hope you know somebody loves you
And wants the same things too
Yeah, this is my wish, yeah yeah
My wish for you
Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
You never need to carry more than you can hold
And while you're out there gettin' where you're gettin' to
I hope you know somebody loves you
And wants the same things too
Yeah, this is my wish
(My wish for you)
This is my wish
(My wish for you)
I hope you know somebody loves you
(My wish for you)
May all your dreams stay big
(My wish for you)
Mary did you know that your baby boy
Would one day walk on water?
Mary did you know that your baby boy
Would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that your baby boy
Has come to make you new?
This child that you've delivered
Will soon deliver you.
Mary did you know that your baby boy
Will give sight to a blind man?
Mary did you know that your baby boy
Will calm a storm with His hand?
Did you know that your baby boy
Has walked where angels trod?
And when you've kissed your little baby
Then you've kissed the face of God.
Oh Mary did you know?
Mary did you know?
The blind will see the deaf will hear
The dead will live a-gain
The lame will leap the dumb will speak
The praises of the Lamb.
Oh Mary did you know that your baby boy
Is Lord of all creation?
Mary did you know that your baby boy
Will one day rule the nations?
Did you know that your baby boy
Is heaven's perfect Lamb?
And the sleeping child you're holding
Is the great I am.
Oooo
Now there are days when I dont have a clue where to find me
My shadow feels like a stranger lagging behind me, i feel like a king cept
I cant get a break, bad timing.
But the reason the questions and my second guessing, dont hang around to
long
You keep lovin me, lovin me, lovin me,lovin me, lovin me baby
you keep lovin me, lovin me, lovin me, lovin me, lovin me baby
I can step right into the great unknown and
Always finding my way back home
you keep lovin me lovin me, luvin me lovin me lovin me baby
Its so crazy no matter how much your pouring.
You seem to find a way to fit a little bit more in
You smile that smile and it feels like a brand new morning, your bound and
determine and but i dont deserve it but god knows where i would be.
If you didnt keep
Chorus
Life can take you, turn you, twist you right in two, oh bring it on, I got
a you
Chrous
You keep lovin me
Oh baby
I, I've always been a little shy
I've always been the quiet type till now
And I, I never let my feelin's show
I never let anybody know just
How much I was so deep in love
But now that you're in my arms
I'm gonna stand on a rooftop
Climb up a mountaintop
Baby, scream and shout
I wanna sing it on the radio
Show it on a video
Baby, leave no doubt
I want the whole world to know
(World to know)
Just what I'm all about
I love to love you out loud
You keep bringin' out the free in me
What you do to my heart just makes me melt
And I, I don't think I can resist
But I've never been one to kiss and tell
A love this true can't be subdued
So I'm gonna let out a yell
I'm gonna stand on a rooftop
Climb up a mountaintop
Baby, scream and shout
I wanna sing it on the radio
Show it on a video
Baby, leave no doubt
I want the whole world to know
(World to know)
Just what I'm all about
I love to love you out loud
Baby, I want the whole world to see
Just how good your love looks on me, yea
I'm gonna stand on a rooftop
Climb up a mountaintop
Baby, scream and shout
I wanna sing it on the radio
Show it on a video
Baby, leave no doubt
I want the whole world to know
(World to know)
Just what I'm all about
I love to love you
Baby, I love to love you out loud
(I love to love you out loud)
Yea, I love to love you out loud
It's 3 AM and you're still wide awake
Wondering how much more your broken heart can take
All he left you with was shattered dreams
I know it's hard to see right now, it's not as bad as it seems
You'll live to love another day
Happiness is on it's way
Hold on
It won't be long
I know the pain you're living in
Sometimes you've got to lose to win
It's okay
Don't you worry baby
We all live to love another day
I know you say you've lost your faith in love
And it's not written in the stars above
I wouldn't tell you anything but the truth
I've been where you are
And I'm living proof
You'll live to love another day
Happiness is on it's way
Hold on
It won't be long
I know the pain you're living in
Sometimes you've got to lose to win
It's okay
Don't you worry baby
We all live to love another day
What's here right now didn't come to stay
The sun is gonna rise again and the clouds will roll away
Believe me when I say
You'll live to love another day
Happiness is on it's way
Hold on, hold on
I know the pain you're living in
Sometimes you've got to lose to win
It's okay
Don't you worry baby
We all live to love another day
Don't you worry baby
Sounds like a scene from the silver screen
Yeah, that's how it was
Love doesn't always look like a picture perfect storybook
Ah, but sometimes it does
Standing beside her the stars shined even brighter
And for a moment all the world was, all the world was still
I knew we belonged together the moment my eyes met hers
And I thought nothing lasts forever, but maybe this one will
A deep breath and baby steps
That's how the whole thing starts
It's a long slow beautiful dance
To the beat of a heart
The world starts to spin again, you learn things you didn't know then
Feels like the bloom is off the rose
But you weather a few storms and you pull out a few thorns
And together the garden grows and grows
It's a long, slow, beautiful dance, my friend
The house is filled with so much love
We got more than enough for two
So we've been thinking about having a baby
I know it sounds crazy, but it seems like the natural thing to do
It's a long, slow
It's a long, slow
Tommy found his daddy's gun
And Joey had never seen one
Real cowboy all dressed up
As he held it in his hand
Said, "You be good and I'll be bad"
Then he pulled the trigger back
Stopped little Tommy in his tracks
And said, "Get up, man"
People came from miles to say goodbye
To the Wilson's youngest son
His innocent life had just begun
It's not supposed to go like that
It's not intended to end that way
Life is a journey constantly turning
Down an unknown path
But it's not supposed to go like that
Jimmy had his daddy's car
And the keys to Jenny's heart
A fifth of whiskey on the floorboard
Almost gone
Havin' the time of their life
Had only one thing on their mind
Never saw the flashin' lights
Or the train comin' on
Now there's a wreath and two small crosses
On the right side of the road
Reminders of a love that won't grow
I wonder if guardian angels cry
When they see it all played out
And as they stand with their hands tied
Oh, do they cry out loud
It's not suppose to go like that
No, it's not supposed to go like that
No, it's not supposed to go like that
No, it's not supposed to go like that
No, it's not supposed, it's not supposed to go like that
I've dealt with my ghosts and I've faced all my demons
Finally content with a past I regret
I?ve found you find strength in your moments of weakness
For once I?m at peace with myself
I?ve been burdened with blame
Trapped in the past for too long
I?m movin? on
I?ve lived in this place and I know all the faces
Each one is different but they?re always the same
They mean me no harm but it?s time that I face it
They?ll never allow me to change
But I never dreamed home
Would end up where I don?t belong
I?m movin? on
I?m movin? on
At last I can see life has been patiently waiting for me
And I know there?s no guarantee?s but I?m not alone
There comes a time in everyone?s life
When all you can see are the years passing by
And I have made up my mind that those days are gone
I sold what I could and packed what I couldn?t
Stopped to fill up on my way out of town
I?ve loved like I should but lived like I shouldn?t
I had to lose everything to find out
Maybe forgiveness will find me
Somewhere down this road
I?m movin? on
I?m movin? on
It’s like a storm
That cuts a path
It breaks your will
It feels like that
You think you're lost
But you're not lost
On your own
You're not alone
I will stand by you
I will help you through
When you’ve done all you can do
And you can’t cope
I will dry your eyes
I will fight your fight
I will hold you tight
And I won't let go
It hurts my heart
To see you cry
I know it’s dark
This part of life
Oh, it finds us all
But we’re too small
To stop the rain
Oh, but when it rains
I will stand by you
I will help you through
When you’ve done all you can do
And you can’t cope
I will dry your eyes
I will fight your fight
I will hold you tight
And I won't let you fall
Don’t be afraid to fall
I’m right here to catch you
I won't let you down
It won't get you down
You're gonna make it
Yeah, I know you can make it
Cause I will stand by you
I will help you through
When you’ve done all you can do
And you can’t cope
And I will dry your eyes
I will fight your fight
I will hold you tight
And I won't let go
Oh I’m gonna hold you
And I won't let go
Won't let you go
Well I guess its in my genes
not in horoscopes or cosmic things
these feelings run in my blood
Always was and always is
Comes on strong and it never quiets
Never had to work that hard at love
It ain’t magic, know it’s automatic
You walk in a room
Girl I gotta have it
Cupid didn’t even have to let an arrow go
There was no love potion
No walking on the ocean
No miracle hat to break through
If you wonder why I love you like I do
Baby I was born too
What everybody else calls a mystery
Sure comes easy to me
Yeah you might say I’m natural
Well its got nothing to do with me
It’s all about you and the way you set me free
To be the man who has it all
It ain’t magic, know it’s automatic
You walk in a room
Girl I gotta have it
Cupid didn’t even have to let an arrow go
There was no love potion
No walking on the ocean
No miracle hat to break through
If you wonder why I love you like I do
Baby I was born to love (love), give (give)
Share everything that I’m feeling only with you
It ain’t magic, know it’s automatic
You walk in a room
Girl I gotta have it
Cupid didn’t even have to let an arrow go
There was no love potion
No walking on the ocean
No miracle hat to break through
If you wonder why I love you like I do
Baby I was born too
If you wonder why I love you like I do
Baby I was born too
When you light those candles
Up there on that mantle, setting the mood
Well, I just lie there staring
Silently preparing to love on you
Well, I can feel the heat from across the room
Ain't it wild what a little flame can make you wanna do
I melt every time you look at me that way
It never fails, anytime, any place
This burn in me is the coolest thing I've ever felt
I melt
Don't know how you do it
I love the way I lose it, every time
What's even better
Is knowing that forever you're all mine
The closer you get, the more my body aches
One little stare from you is all it takes
Every time you look at me that way
I don't wanna wait
It's been too long
I don't wanna lay here all alone
I don't wanna need this phone
To hear you breathe
Every second feels just like a year
Every moment you're not here
Is like a lifetime of lonely,
Please
Hurry Baby, I need you coming through that door
Hurry Baby, I can't be without you anymore
Come and save me
I'm losing it
I swear that this not kissing you, missing you
Has got me going crazy
Hurry Baby
Every single car that passes by
My heart beats faster every time
I pray it's your headlights coming home
If I could just speed up that clock
I'd get you here then make it stop
I'd wrap you in my arms
And love you real slow
Hurry Baby, I need you coming through that door
Hurry Baby, I can't be without you anymore
Come and save me
I'm losing
I swear that this not kissing you, missing you
Has got me going crazy
Hurry Baby
Hurry Baby, Hurry Baby
Come and save me
I'm losing it, I swear that this not kissing you, missing you
Has got me going craaaazy
Huurrrry Baby
I can't be without you Babeh
Hurry Baaaaby
When she told you goodbye
You didn't flinch
When she looked back
You didn't even budge an inch
You stood there like stone
But now that she's gone
[CHORUS]
How strong are you now
Without her around
You can't even keep one little bitty tear
From fallin' down
Tell me how strong are you now
Before she left you told yourself
It can't hurt that much
Now you're doubled over
Like you took a punch
No, she ain't coming back
Tell me how much can you take of that
[REPEAT CHORUS]
Tell me how strong are you now - yeah
How strong are you now - oh, oh
What's that rule you live by
You say tough guys never cry
she jumped in my truck in her bare feet
slit on over to the middle seat
baby crack a window,
crank that ac high as it can go
sign everything says it's 71
but it feels like we're seating on the sun
that little cotton dress ain't helping none
'bout to run me off the road
and i, i can barely breathe
then she puts her hand, over on my knee
and i don't know what to do
doin' everything, tryin' to keep my cool
but it's hot, hot, hot in here
ooh, so hot, hot, hot in here
yeah, i can't take her anywhere
it's so hot, hot, hot in here.
so i took a turn heading for the creak
some tanned skin was a sight to see
soon as she got in i could see the steam
rising up off the water
and i, i can barely breathe
when she wraps her arms around me
and i don't know what to do
doin' everything, tryin' to keep my cool
but it's hot, hot, hot in here
ooh, so hot, hot, hot in here
yeah, i can't take her anywhere
it's so hot, hot, hot in here.
when we dried off by the fence, it was getting dark
we threw a picnicker on the ground, underneath the stars
shoulda' been a little cooler in the moon light
when she laid her lips on mine
oh she laid her lips on mine
oh yeah
and i, i can barely breathe
anytime when she's close to me
and i don't know what to do
doin' everything, tryin' to keep my cool
but it's hot, hot, hot in here
ooh, so hot, hot, hot in here
yeah, i can't take her anywhere
it's so hot, hot, hot in here.
can't take her anywhere
it's so hot, hot, hot in here.
i can't take her anywhere
so hot in here
anytime she's close to me
yeah it's so hot, hot, hot in here
There's three in the hall from those pictures in the closet
Two in the bedroom from that night I lost it
And one deep inside me determined to stay
They don't get any bigger but they don't go away
Holes in and around me I keep falling back into
Holes dig in and surround me
God knows what I'm gonna do
To fill in these holes left by you
Left by you
I pour drink after drink but nothing hit bottom
I've been on my knees, admitted my problems
The love that we made still barely an echo
Well I'll try anything in these vacant hollow
Holes in and around me I keep falling back into
Holes dig in and surround me
God knows what I'm gonna do
To fill in these holes left by you
There's two through my hands and one through my feet
From this cross that I bear to the day that I see
It's guilt and it's blame, it's shame and it's love
Seeking the truth, I dug them myself
Ohh, these holes dig in and surround me
God knows what I'm gonna do
To fill in these holes left by you
Left by you, left by you
Left by you
They got three in the front and four in the back of a civic
Camped out all night on the sidewalk just to get tickets
With their hands on the fence in the back by the buses and the limousines
Just to get a glance at a drummer or singer yeah anything
And they come from miles around
For that moment when the lights go out
And they scream
It's the girls in the front row singin'
It's the boys with the wheels that bring them
Its lighters in the air and you guys up there
You're the heart and soul and the reason we do what we do
Here's to you
There's a silver-tongued blonde trying to sweet talk her way back stage
There's a mom and a dad in the aisle not acting their age
There a wet Corvette red lipstick print in a Coors Light cup
And judging by the way she's dancing I'd say she's had enough
The guitars come alive
And you make us want to stay all night
And they scream
It's the girls in the front row singin'
It's the boys with the wheels that bring them
Its lighters in the air and you guys up there
You're the heart and soul and the reason we do what we do
I can hear the truck tires coming up the gravel road
And it's not like her to drive that slow, nothing's on the radio
Footsteps on the front porch, I hear my doorbell
She usually comes right in, now I can tell
Here comes goodbye
Here comes the last time
Here comes the start of every sleepless night
The first of every tear I'm gonna cry
Here comes the pain
Here comes me wishing things had never changed
And she was right here in my arms tonight
But here comes goodbye
I can hear her say "I love you" like it was yesterday
And I can see it written on her face that she had never felt this way
One day I thought I'd see her with her daddy by her side
And violins would play Here Comes The Bride
But here comes goodbye
Here comes the last time
Here comes the start of every sleepless night
The first of every tear I'm gonna cry
Here comes the pain
Here comes me wishing things had never changed
And she was right here in my arms tonight
But here comes goodbye
Why's it have to go from good to gone?
Before the lights turn on
Yeah, and you're left alone
Oh! But here comes goodbye! Oh!
Here comes goodbye
Here comes the last time
Here comes the start of every sleepless night
The first of every tear I'm gonna cry
Here comes the pain
Here comes me wishing things had never changed
And she was right here in my arms tonight
But here comes goodbye, ooh
There's a place I've been looking for
That took me in and out of buildings
Behind windows, walls and doors
And I thought I found it
Couple times, even settled down
And I'd hang around just long enough
To find my way back out
I know now the place that I was trying to
Reach
Was you, right here in front of me
And I wouldn't change a thing
I'd walk right back through the rain
Back to every broken heart
On the day that it was breakin'
And I'd relive all the years
And be thankful for the tears
I've cried with every stumbled step
That led to you and got me here, right here
It's amazing what I let my heart go through
To get me where it got me
In this moment here with you
And it passed me by
God knows how many times
I was so caught up in holding
What I never thought I'd find
I know now, there's a million roads
I had to take
To get me in your arms that way
In a love I never thought I'd get to get to
-here
And if that's the road
God made me take to be with you
And I'd relive all the years
And be thankful for all the tears
I've cried with every stumbled step
That led to you and got me here, right here
Oh, baby-Ooo
Sitting here with you
you ask me why my tongue is tied
I've tried to make some sense of all these things I feel inside
I've been searching for the perfect words to say
They've been said a thousand times
But they mean more today
'Cause i'm head over heels for you
and all of the things you do
the heavens and earth have moved
I'm falling head over heels for you
So baby there it is i've let it go and now you know
It's funny how a feeling starts so small and starts to grow
I had every line rehearsed I'd say to you today
then you looked into my eyes and they just slipped away
'Cause i'm head over heels for you
and all of the things you do
the heavens and earth have moved
I'm falling, head over heels for you
Head over heels heart over mind you've got me body and soul
I've never dreamed in a million years I'd lose complete control
I'm head over heels for you
and all of the things you do
the heavens and earth have moved
I'm falling head over heels for you
Head over heels for you
I'm falling head over heels for you
oooo ohh I'm falling
Friday
Alarm clock, ding, dong,
Pants up, boots on,
Coffee, cigarette,
Blue collar breakfast,
Hard hat, forklift,
Draggin through a swing shift,
Stackin up the boxes,
Watchin that clock tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock,
Workin for the man sure make a man thirsty.
Need a little neon, get a little drink on,
Friday can’t come fast enough.
Na, na, nanananana, nana, nanananana,
Let the good times roll when the guitars play.
Here’s to another week off.
Raise ‘em up and sing along.
Friday can’t come fast enough.
Baby’s on the cell phone, callin from a tannin bed,
Hit the mall, got a dress, nails done, hair did.
Runnin through my money like a water through a faucet,
Well so dry you can hear those dollars drip, drop, drip, drop, drip, drop, drip, drop.
Payin them bills sure make a man thirsty.
Need a little neon, time to get a drink on,
Friday can’t come fast enough.
Na, na, nanananana, nana, nanananana,
Let the good times roll when the guitars play.
Here’s to another week off.
Raise ‘em up and sing along.
Friday can’t come fast enough.
Nananananana, nananananana, nananananana.
We need a little neon,
Time to get your drink on.
Friday can’t come fast enough.
Here’s to another week off.
Raise ‘em up and sing along.
hoooooooo
heyyyyyyy
I miss you so much
your light, your smile, your way
and everything about us
though you're gone, you still here
in my heart, in my tears
yeah, you sure left your mark
and we were just getting started
(Chorus)
It wasn’t long, it wasn’t long enough
Together…
But it was long enough, yeah it was long enough…
to last forever
Sometimes I get so mad;
I scream and swear at this
Cuz’ this isn’t how we planned it
I sit here, in a cold room.
Praying
Waiting on you
To run back through that door, the way it was before
(Chorus)
You left, it wasn’t long enough, it wasn’t long enough
together
But it was long enough, yeah it was long enough
to last forever
I feel Cheated (I feel Cheated), defeated (can’t believe it)
can’t believe that you’re gone (your gone, your gone)
Oh it was wrong (so wrong)
It wasn’t long enough
It wasn’t long enough, it wasn’t long enough…
Nooo
(chorus)
it wasn’t long enough, it wasn’t long enough…
Together (Together)
But it was long enough; yeah it was long enough, to last,
to last, to last forever...
(It wasn’t long enough, it wasn’t long enough, it wasn’t long enough)
No it wasn’t long enough…
(It wasn’t long enough, it wasn’t long enough, it wasn’t long enough)
Long enough…
I woke up this morning
With this feeling inside me that I can't explain
Like a weight that I've carried, been carried away, away
But I know something is coming, I don't know what it is
But I know it's amazing, can save me
My time is coming I'll find my way out of this longest drought
And it feels like today I know, it feels like today I'm sure
It's the one thing that's missing, the one thing I'm wishing
The last sacred blessing and hey it feels like today, feels like today
You treat life like a picture but it's not a moment that's frozen in time
It's not gonna wait till you make up your mind, at all
So while this storm is breaking
While there's light at the end of the tunnel I'll keep running towards it
Releasing the pressure that's your heartache
Soon this dam will break
And it feels like today I know, it feels like today I'm sure
It's the one thing that's missing, the one thing I'm wishing
The last sacred blessing and hey it feels like today, feels like today
Oh oh, it feels like today I know, it feels like today I'm sure
It's the one thing that's missing, the one thing I'm wishing
The last sacred blessing and hey it feels like today, feels like today
It's the one thing that's missing, the one thing I'm wishing
I could usually drink you right off of my mind, but I miss you tonight
I can normally push you right out of my heart, but I'm too tired to fight
yeah, the whole thing begins and I let you sink into my veins and I feel the pain like it's new
everything that we were everything that you said everything that I did
and I couldn't do plays through
tonight
tonight your memory burns like a fire
with every one it grows higher and higher
I can't get over it I just can't put out this love
I just sit in these flames
pray that you come back, close my eyes tightly
hold on and hope that I'm dreaming
come wake me up
turn the TV up loud just to drown out your voice, but I can't forget
now I'm all out of ideas and baby I'm down to my last cigarette
yeah you're probably asleep deep inside of your dreams while I'm sitting here crying and trying to see
yeah where ever you are baby now I am sure you moved on
and aren't thinking twice about me and you
tonight
tonight your memory burns like a fire
with every one it grows higher and higher
I can't get over it I just can't put out this love
I just sit in these flames
pray that you come back, close my eyes tightly
hold on and hope that I'm dreaming
I know that your moving on
I know that I should give you up
but I keep hoping that you'll trip and fall back in love
times not healing anything
baby this pain is worse than it ever was
I know that you can't hear me but baby
I need you to save me
tonight
tonight your memory burns like a fire
with every one it grows higher and higher
I can't get over it I just can't put out this love
I just sit in these flames
pray that you come back, close my eyes tightly
hold on and hope that I'm dreaming
come wake me up
I'm dreaming
come wake me up
I came up, out of the water
Raised my hands, up to the father
Gave it all to him that day
Felt a new wind kiss my face
Walked away, eyes wide open
Could finally see where I was going
It didn't matter where I'd been,
I'm not the same man I was then
(Chorus:)
I got off track, I made mistakes
Back slid my way into that place, where souls get lost,
lines get crossed and the pain won't go away
I hit my knees, now here I stand
There I was, now here I am..
Here I am. Changed.
I got a lot of "hey I'm sorry"s,
the things I've done, Man that was not me
I wish that I could take it all back, I just wanna tell 'em that.. tell 'em that
Chorus
I've changed for the better. More smiles, less bitter..
I'm even starting to forgive myself
I hit my knees, now here I stand
There I was, now here I am, here I am, here I am
I'm changed. Yes I am.. I've changed for the better
Opened my eyes this mornin' with a smile on my face
My arms wrapped around you took me away
And it got me to thinkin' what we need to do
Is take a Sunday drive and drive on through
Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday too
Let's disappear, gotta jet out of here
Feel the wind across our face
We'll have some fun, gonna dance on the run
It's a perfect day to break away
We'll hit Tulsa by Tuesday follow the stars above
Spend the weekend in Vegas and gamble on sweet, sweet love
It don't matter what we do as long as I'm with you
Let's disappear, gotta jet out of here
Feel the wind across our face
We'll have some fun, gonna dance on the run
It's a perfect day to break away
Yeah, yeah
Break away
Yeah, yeah
Let's disappear, gotta jet out of here
Feel the wind across our face
We'll have some fun, gonna dance on the run
It's a perfect day to break away
Let's disappear, gotta jet out of here
If i had one call to make
I would dial yesterday and warn myself
Tell my lips the words to say
Not let you just walk away
With someone else
With someone else
Next time, i wont suffer this kind of pain
Own my mistakes
Not just pass off all the blame
If you were here, we could figure this out
Then i wouldn't be bitter
I'd just be better now.
To be the strong and silent one
A lot of good that has done
Yes, you'd agree
No more tryin' to understand
Or fix these things because you can
Guess it's up to me
Yeah, it's up to me
I'd be much better off
Much better off, maybe
If i could just let it go
With no regrets then
Next time, I won't suffer this kind of pain
Own my mistakes
Not just pass off all the blame
You'd still be here,and we'd figure this out
Then i wouldn't be better (I wouldn't be better)
oh, no I wouldn't be bitter
I'd just be better now
[Verse 1]
When I lose my smile
When my thoughts get jumbled
When the air and BS get to thick
Can't take a breath without getting sick
I've had enough with this concrete jungle
I drop my truck in drive
I pick up my baby
She jumps in with a kiss and a hey
We exit off that old hallway
Sometimes you gotta go beyond the pavement
[Chorus]
You gotta go deep
Way on back
Cross a few creeks
And a couple little shacks
You gotta get lost
Way on out
Crickets and frogs
Yeah you're gettin' close now
And you kick it into four wheel drive when you run out of road
And you go, and you go and you go-go-go
'Til you hear a banjo
[Verse 2]
It ain't on no map
And I'm glad it isn't
Leave the phone and the GPS,
Those satellites ain't found it yet,
Got our own little piece of heaven hidden
[Chorus]
Yeah, you gotta go deep
Way on back
Cross a few creeks
And a couple little shacks
You gotta get lost
Way on out
Crickets and frogs
Yeah you're gettin' close now
And you kick it into four wheel drive when you run out of road
And you go, and you go, and you go-go-go
'Til you hear a banjo
[Banjo break]
[Chorus]
You gotta go deep
Way on back
Cross a few creeks
And a couple little shacks
You gotta get lost
Way on out
Crickets and frogs
Yeah you're gettin' close now
And you kick it into four wheel drive when you run out of road
And you go
And you go
And you go
And you go-go-go
Ooooh hoo
'Til you hear banjo
You gotta go deep
Way on back
Oh oh oh
Cross a few creeks
And a couple little shacks
Oh oh oh
Four wheel drive when you run out of road
Oh oh oh
And you go, and you go, and you go
'Til you hear that, 'Til you hear that
Its a mind set,
A never going out of style,
From the concrete jungle,
Even down a country mile.
Hey,
Its a boy and a girl,
Livin with the hand theyve been givin,
Its a day in the life,
Its the music in the rhyme of American Living.
American Living.
Theres a boy and a girl sitting out on a swinging porch,
Singing a song that only two hearts love sang.
Baby, Someday, There about 80, Still in love,
Would it be that crazy?
Its a mind set,
A never going out of style,
From the concrete jungle,
Even down a country mile.
Hey,
Its a boy and a girl,
Livin with the hand theyve been givin,
Its a day in the life,
Its the music in the rhyme of American Living.
Theres a mom and a dad,
And their planting all their seeds,
Everyday working on their dreams,
Just trying to give the best to their kids,
To have a life they never did.
Its a mind set,
A never going out of style,
From the concrete jungle,
Even down a country mile.
Hey,
Its a boy and a girl,
Livin with the hand theyve been givin,
Its a day in the life,
Its the music in the rhyme of American Living.
Yeah, Yeah
Yeah,
Its a mind set,
A never going out of style,
From the concrete jungle,
Even down a country mile.
Hey,
Its a boy and a girl,
Livin with the hand theyve been givin,
Its a day in the life,
Sarah Beth is scared to death to hear what the doctor will say
She hasn't been well since the day that she fell
And the bruise, it just won't go away
So she sits and she waits with her mother and dad
And flips through an old magazine 'til the nurse with the smile
Stands at the door and says, "Will you please come with me?"
Sarah Beth is scared to death
'Cause the doctor just told her the news
"Between the red cells and white, some thing's not right
But we're gonna take care of you
6 chances in 10 it won't come back again
With the therapy we're gonna try, it's just been approved
It's the strongest there is and I think we caught it in time"
And Sarah Beth closes her eyes
She dreams she's dancing, around and around
Without any cares and her very first love
Is holding her close and a soft wind is blowing her hair
Sarah Beth is scared to death as she sits, holding her mom
'Cause it would be a mistake for someone to take
A girl with no hair to the Prom for just this morning
Right there on her pillow was the cruelest of things, a surprise
And she cried as she gathered it into her hands
The proof that she couldn't deny and Sarah Beth closes her eyes
She dreams she's dancing, around and around
Without any cares and her very first love
Was holding her close and a soft wind is blowing her hair
It's quarter to seven that boy's at the door
And her daddy ushers him in and when he takes off his cap
They all start to cry' cause this morning where his hair had been
Softly she touches just skin
And they go dancing, around and around
Without any cares and her very first true love
