Barefoot walkin' on a white sand beach
Fishin' on a log in a backwoods creek
A baby in a month and a baby on her hip
And when I kiss her on her lips, it's all
Flowers and sunshine
Spring, rain in the summer time
And I swear I get so high
On that sweet natural girl of mine
Sweet natural girl of mine
No matter how much she dresses it down
Turn every head, turn every head as she walks through town
Slip off swimmin' in a creek somewhere
'Cause all my baby ever wears are those
Flowers and sunshine
Spring, rain in the summer time
And I swear I get so high
On that sweet natural girl of mine
Sweet natural
My, oh, my, look at that girl
Standin' right there all natural
Walkin' through the garden, lettin' down her hair
Throwin' down a blanket and layin' right there
Flowers and sunshine
Yeah, flowers and sunshine
Spring, rain in the summer time
I swear I get so high
On that girl of mine
Flowers and sunshine
Spring, rain in the summer time
And I swear I get so high
On that sweet natural girl of mine
Sweet natural girl of mine
I've wasted so much time believing
That in this life you try to get all you can take
When all along I've been needing was to find one good reason
To give myself, really give myself away
Every smile that lights my face
Every teardrop, every trace
Every secret hidden place belongs to you
Anything that's good in me all I ever hope to be
Every drop of every dream belongs to you
You know the me that I remember always thought
You had to keep it all inside
Get in trouble being tender so you never say surrender
But it took you to finally prove me wrong
Every smile that lights my face
Every teardrop, every trace
Every secret hidden place belongs to you
Anything that's good in me all I ever hope to be
Every drop of every dream belongs to you
I'm letting go I'm letting go now
Of everything I've ever held onto
Every place I've ever been
Every chance I'll get again
Every secret, every sin, belongs to you
Anything that's good in me all I ever hope to be
Every drop of every dream belongs to you
Boy and girl fall in love, startin' out just enough
Pocket change, lean an' green, first and last security
Newlyweds, overheads, all we really had was each other
All of the family and most of our friends
Said it was over before it began
As time goes on, we're provin' 'em wrong
We're still together
Real love will survive
Devil of defeat, better step aside
Real love will survive
If you need a witness, me and my little missus
We can testify
Made a move, neighborhood lookin' up, lookin' good
Saving money everyday, gettin' out of layaway
Baby boys, lots of toys, man, I gotta say this is livin'
No, I'm not sayin' it's been perfect at all
We've had our times, we hit the wall
We backed it on up, yeah, we knocked off the dust
And kept on diggin'
Real love will survive
Devil of defeat, better step aside
Real love will survive
If you need a witness, me and my little missus
We can testify
Real love will survive
Devil of defeat, better step aside
Real love will survive
If you need a witness, me and my little missus
Yes, see if you need a witness, me and my little missus
We saw the moon in Colorado
Made music in Tennessee
We found the gold of El Dorado
It's so good, making love, you and me
These arms, they will never hold another
These eyes, they are blind to any other
These lips, no other girl will ever kiss
This heart, it will always feel like this 'cause
CHORUS
Only God could stop me loving you
Only God could tell me not to
He sent you from Heaven
Just to make my dreams come true
When he opened the door
That you came walking through
Only God could stop me loving you
Now we struck oil in Oklahoma
And won the Oscar in Hollywood
And climbed the canyons of Arizona
And baby, making love never felt so good
These arms, they will never hold another
These lips, no other girl will ever kiss
This heart, it will always feel like this 'cause
CHORUS
There aint no girl
In the whole wide world
Who could take away my heart
And there aint no man
Who could steal your hand
And tear us apart
But there is one God in Heaven above
Who gave me love
Strong enough to calm my heart
Only God could stop me loving you
Only God could tell me not to
Only God could stop me from loving you
Right here waiting, staying, strong come and fall into me
You say you’ve turned it off,
Hid your heart up on a shelf
Scared of what it might cost,
to take it down for someone else
‘cause loving him you lost too much of your self
Baby can’t you see….
That he’s not me
And I need you to know you can fall into me
That my arms are wide open and will always be
Right here waiting, staying, strong come and fall into me
I’ll follow any road,
Anywhere to get to you
I’ll open up my soul,
If that’s what you need me to do
Now baby it’s your move,
All you got to do is believe….
In love…
Just believe….
In us
And I need you to know you can fall into me
That my arms are wide open and will always be
Right here waiting, staying, strong come and fall into me
Just believe in love
Just believe in us
Baby
I need you to know you can fall into me
That my arms are wide open and will always be
Right here waiting, staying, strong come and fall into me
Come and fall into me
(fall into me)
Baby fall into me
Lipstick impressions on my white collar shirt
Number on a matchbook so I'll get a hold of her
Oh, that's all the proof I need
I can smell her perfume on my passenger seat
A strand of long blonde hair that don't belong to me
Oh, it's not a dream
I can't believe it's really happening
My eyes can see, yeah
It's not an illusion, I didn't imagine this
I've got the evidence, let me tell ya now
My machine is blinkin' from a message she left
Her voice sounds so sweet I can't erase it yet
Oh, I probably never will
I bought a picture for five dollars that she talked me into
I was head over heels, cramped up in the booth
Oh, I've got it on film
Still I can't believe it's really happening
My eyes can see, yeah
It's not an illusion, I didn't imagine this
I've got the evidence, yeah I've got the evidence
I can't believe it's really happening
My eyes can see, yeah
It's not an illusion, I didn't imagine this
I've got the evidence, yeah I've the evidence
Come here baby Yeah
I told you when I met you
I'd do anythang it took to get ya
But you never thought I'd ever take it this far
I work two jobs and that's not all
I've made up my mind
To dedicate my whole life to your life
Baby, you're a superstar
CHORUS
It's all about you
Everything that I do
It's all about you
My mission in life
My purpose on Earth
To make sure
You get all the love you deserve
It's all about you
I buy a dozen roses
Box of chocolates
Get you tickets to the opera, Pavorotti
And the monster truck show
I'll take you on a Caribbean cruise
Buy you a hundred pairs of new shoes
Dress you up
Diamonds, Pearls
And all that stuff
CHORUS
Do what you gotta do
Don't worry about me
As long as I got you
That's all I need
Ain't no one, no where, no how, no way
No man going to work harder for you
Any day, Baby
Everyday.
CHORUS
Some days, blue skies are endless
Sometimes rain falls like tears
Every day that you're with me
Is a day, I'm glad to be here
There are high roads, low roads and choices
Reasons to doubt and believe
But I'll be okay
As long as you're right here with me
When the new day falls on my window
Soft as the touch of your hand
And your light fills my heart and warms my soul
And I know how lucky I am
Some days my prayers are answered
Sometimes the answer is no
And you smile at me
It's more than my heart can hold
When the new day falls on my window
Soft as the touch of your hand
And your light fills my heart and warms my soul
I know how lucky I am
When the new day falls on my window
Soft as the touch of your hand
And your light fills my heart and warms my soul
I know how lucky I am
When the night falls soft on my window
And the stars rise together and dance
And your light fills my heart and warms my soul
Ridin' restless under broken sky, weary traveler, somethin' missin' inside
Always lookin' for a reason to turn around
Desperate for a little peace of mind, just a little piece of what I left behind
Well, I found it now, you're like coming home
You're like a Sunday mornin', pleasin' my eyes
You're a midsummer's dream under a star-soaked sky
That peaceful easy feelin' at the end of a long, long road
You're like coming home, you're like coming home, alright
Go head an' let your hair fall down this wanderlust it's gone now
I'm here in your arms, I'm safe from the road again
These are the days that can't be erased baby, there isn't a better place
You're like heaven, you're like coming home
You're like a Sunday mornin', pleasin' my eyes
You're a midsummer's dream under a star-soaked sky
That peaceful easy feelin' at the end of a long, long road
You're like coming home
You're that innocence, that serenity
That long-lost part of me
You're like a Sunday mornin', pleasin' my eyes
A midsummer's dream under a star-soaked sky
That peaceful easy feelin' at the end of a long, long road
You're like a Sunday mornin', pleasin' my eyes
You're a midsummer's dream under a star-soaked sky
That peaceful easy feelin' at the end of a long, long road
You're like coming home, yeah
You're like coming home
Baby, like coming home
You're like coming home
Go head an' let your hair fall down
You're like coming home
Baby, like coming home, oh yeah
You're like coming, you're like coming home
Songwriters: Dupelle, Danick; Mates, Brad; Tebey
I still talk to you whenever I'm alone
I hear you in my prayers, feel you in the wind that blows
I wonder how you are, what you're doin' way up there
Are you laughin', are you cryin' 'cause you miss us all down here
Only God knows when you'll smile and take my hand
When I see you again
When I see you again
I wish I had the chance to hold you one last time
It hurts me to know we never got the chance to say goodbye
But you're never really gone 'cause your memory remains
I miss you more than words could ever help me to explain
Only God knows when this road I'm on will end
And I'll see you again
I'll see you when the sand runs out
When the song is over and the curtain falls down
I'll see you on the other side
And you could show me what it's like
But only God knows when you'll smile and take my hand
And I'll say, "How've you been"
When I see you again
Songwriters: Baker, Bonnie; Sikes, Paul
It hurts to walk this gravel road
It's hard to find and overgorwn
You will see how much I'm worth
When you get past the rocks and dirt
C'mon, walk with me
I'm the extra mile
When you do, you're gonna fall
And wonder why you walked at all
Young and weary, you'll wanna stop
'Cause every hill takes all you got
C'mon, walk with me
Oh, I'm the extra mile
And that smile you give a stranger
When you'd rather turn your head
And that book you read to your children
When you'd rather be in bed
I'm forgiveness that you give
When you don't think you can
Forgive somebody one more time
At the end, there's no parade
Just you and me to celebrate
How far you've come by choosin' me
How you ignore those tired feet
C'mon, walk with me
Oh, I'm the extra mile
I'm that sacrifice you make
For someone you don't know
I'm that teardrop for a soldier
You've read about at home
I'm that love you give somebody
Who doesn't give it back
C'mon, walk with me awhile
Oh, I'm the extra mile
Oh, I'm the extra mile
Yeah
Being more than what you see
Takes all of you and one of me
C'mon, walk with me
I'm the extra mile
I'm the extra mile
Oh, I'm the extra mile
Oh, I'm the extra mile
Baby, I'm the extra mile
Songwriters: Laird, Luke; Lindsey, Hillary; Sampson, Gordie
Have you ever been flyin' down a long country road
With the windows wide open, and the sun rushin' in
Have you ever sat starin' at the shore line
All night, don't wanna blink your eyes
Thinkin', "Man, this is it"
And the last thing you think about is leavin'
And you can't believe you're seein' what you're seein'
She's that kind of stop you right in your tracks
Knock you out just like that
Somethin' you just can't explain
That kind of blow your mind every time
Thought that you would never find
She's that kind, she's that kind of beautiful
She's like that feelin' you get on a Sunday
Forgiveness when you need it the most
Like that little girl singin' every single word
With a big smile in the front row
Wanna stand so close, you can feel it
Yeah, you're wishin' that the whole world could see it
She's that kind of stop you right in your tracks
Knock you out just like that
Somethin' you just can't explain
That kind of blow your mind every time
Thought that you would never find
She's that kind, that kind of beautiful
Once you've held on
You won't remember where've you been
Just like a song
You wanna sing again and again
She's that kind, she's that kind of stop you right in your tracks
Knock you out just like that
Somethin' you just can't explain
That kind of blow your mind every time
Thought that you would never find
She's that kind, she's that kind of
Stop you right in your tracks
Knock you out just like that
Somethin' you just can't explain
That kind of blow your mind every time
Thought that you would never find
I've got one of those feelings.
This could be one of those weekends.
Don't need no better reason to let it all out.
Let it all out
Just keep the cold drinks coming
I think we're on to something
We could stay right here and just do nothing
Til the sun goes down
So just let the good times keep on rollin'
Open up the cooler I'll do the pourin'
Baby cuz this night is
Just getting going
There's no need to worry 'bout the morning
Cuz we'll just sleep it off
We'll just sleep it off
We got people dancing up on the counters
Crank the speakers turn em up a little louder
Cuz we're gonna keep this place rockin' for hours
Having a good time
Yeah that's right
Open up the cooler I'll do the pourin'
Baby cuz this night is
Just getting going
There's no need to worry 'bout the morning
No I don't want to see this night end
But tomorrow we can do it all over again
We'll just let the good times
Keep on rollin'
Open up the cooler I'll do the pourin'
Baby cuz We'll just let the good times
Keep on rollin'
Open up the cooler I'll do the pourin'
this night is
Just getting going
There's no need to worry 'bout the morning
When I got up this morning, you were still asleep
Then the rain tapped on my window, if reminding me
To make out a list of every single gift
That you give me everyday
It's a dream that never dies
It's the wonder if your eyes
It's the magic in your touch
Every star and every wish
I wake each day and live
A life that's filled with simple miracles
Sometimes in the madness, I tend to forget
And I take your love for granted
I should hold you close instead
Let me say right now, so there's no doubt
All the things you are to me
It's a dream that never dies
It's the wonder if your eyes
It's the magic in your touch
Every star and every wish
I wake each day and live
A life that's filled with simple miracles
And as time goes by the more that I find
That my life is in much bigger hands than mine
It's a dream that never dies
It's the wonder if your eyes
It's the magic in your touch
Every star and every wish
I wake each day and live
She's got a butterfly tat
On the back of her you know where
I let her lie about why it landed there
It's what you get
For getting tipsy at the county fair
My baby's my kind of crazy
A million dollar smile
In a five hundred dollar car
She talks to Jesus
Every morning before it starts
Hates the way it drives
But loves the way it parks
By the river in the moonlight
Listening to the AM station
'Cause the antennas missin'
She's my kind of Sunday drivin'
Rollin' down the back roads
Hangin' out the window
Ridin' with her hair in the wind
And her hands in the sky
Like she's flyin'
She's my kind of ponytail pretty
Sounds like the country
Looks like the city
I march along to whatever
Out of town drum she plays me
She's my kind of crazy
Bet her a benji that she wouldn't hood surf my truck
I had to pay but she just kept yellin' "Speed up!"
She did it twice, said you owe me couple hundred bucks
But keep your money I'll take an I.O.U.
On an ice cream cone and some high heeled shoes
She's my kind of Sunday drivin'
Rollin' down the back roads
Hangin' out the window
Ridin' with her hair in the wind
And her hands in the sky
Like she's flyin'
She's my kind of ponytail pretty
Sounds like the country
Looks like the city
I march along to whatever
Out of town drum she plays me
She's my kind of crazy
My kind of dangerous
My kind of say whatever is on your mind
She's my kind...
She's my kind of Sunday drivin'
Rollin' down the back roads
Hangin' out the window
Ridin' with her hair in the wind
And her hands in the sky
Like she's flyin'
She's my kind of ponytail pretty
Sounds like the country
Looks like the city
I march along to whatever
Out of town drum she plays me
She's my kind of crazy!
My kind of crazy ya...
My kind of say whatever is on your mind
You read Grisham novels, I'd rather watch a movie
Baby, we're like night and day, yeah
You like frappacino, Leonardo DiCaprio
I like Al Pacino and I take my coffee straight
It's no secret
Girl, we're different
It's not like we don't know
Every single hesitation
All goes out the window
When you say my name, I can feel forever
When you touch my face
Girl, I feel invincible
Nothing seems impossible, I'm Superman
You've got me flying high
Baby, say my name just one more time
You like hip-hop dancing, I'd rather wait for something slow
It's a little less work for two left feet
You wear Italian leather, my polyester suits me fine
It?s inevitable we?re gonna disagree
It's no secret
Girl, we're different
It's not like we don't know
Every single hesitation
All goes out the window
When you say my name, I can feel forever
When you touch my face
Girl, I feel invincible
Nothing seems impossible, I'm Superman
You've got me flying high
Baby, say my name just one more time
When you say my name, I can feel forever
When you touch my face
Girl, I feel invincible
Nothing seems impossible, I'm Superman
You've got me flying high
Baby, say my name just one more time
When you say my name
When you say my name
I was bouncing around
Like a bottle out on the waves
About to go under, about to get swept away
Take it from me, I was lost as a man could be
You came and you saved
A drowning man in an ocean of pain
When you gave me your heart to hold onto
Baby, I'm rescued
It's an empty feeling that fills your soul
When you've got nobody, you're left out in the cold
I still can't believe
How you reached out to me
When you came and you saved
A drowning man in an ocean of pain
When you gave me your heart to hold onto
Baby, I'm rescued
Now even on the darkest night
Oh, I'm never alone
Your love is a guiding light
Leading me home
You gave me your heart to hold onto
And I'm holding onto you
Baby, I'm rescued, baby, I'm rescued
She was sittin' on a park bench
Feedin' pigeons on Beacon Hill
I was takin' my dog Jack out for a run
We had a little time to kill
I still don't know if it was Jack or me
That somehow caught her eye
But the next thing I knew we were sittin' there talkin'
Laughin' into the night
And from that moment on
She never left my side
Those autumn nights were long
She was the first love of my life
I still can feel the softness of her hair fallin' on my face
My arms all around her
There's always somethin' 'bout this time of year
That takes me to that place and I remember November, oh yeah
She was workin' her way through school
Waitin' tables at the Hungry Eye
I was playin' a club down on the waterfront
Afterward she'd come by
Around 3 A.M we'd grab some takeout
In the heart of Chinatown
And we'd hang out and stay up all night
Just talkin' and messin' around
I never would have dreamed
We'd ever say goodbye
She felt like the sun to me
On those cold November nights
I still can feel the softness of her hair fallin' on my face
My arms all around her
There's always somethin' 'bout this time of year
That takes me to that place and I remember November
November, oh yeah
Lookin' back I can't explain
What happened on that dark December day
I guess we were just two kids
Going different ways
I still can feel the softness of her hair fallin' on my face
My arms all around her
There's always somethin' 'bout this time of year
That takes me to that place and I remember
Yes I remember, November oh yeah
I was coming to the end of a long long walk
When a man crawled out of a cardboard box
Under the E. Street Bridge
Followed me on to it
I went out halfway across
With that homeless shadow tagging along
So I dug for some change
Wouldn't need it anyway
He took it lookin' just a bit ashamed
He said, You know, I haven't always been this way
I've had my moments, days in the sun
Moments I was second to none
Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do
Like that plane ride coming home from the war
That summer my son was born
And memories like a coat so warm
A cold wind can't get through
Lookin' at me now you might not know it
But I've had my moments
I stood there tryin' to find my nerve
Wondering if a single soul on Earth
Would care at all
Miss me when I'm gone
That old man just kept hanging around
Lookin' at me, lookin' down
I think he recognized
That look in my eyes
Standing with him there I felt ashamed
I said, You know, I haven't always felt this way
I've had my moments, days in the sun
Moments I was second to none
Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do
Like the day I walked away from the wine
For a woman who became my wife
And a love that, when it was right,
Could always see me through
Lookin' at me now you might not know it
But I've had my moments
I know somewhere 'round a trashcan fire tonight
That old man tells his story one more time
He says
I've had my moments, days in the sun
Moments I was second to none
Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do
Like that cool night on the E. Street Bridge
When a young man almost ended it
I was right there, wasn't scared a bit
And I helped to pull him through
Lookin' at me now you might not know it
Oh, lookin' at me now you might not know it
Hey, yeah
I feel her hair slap in my face
It makes me smile
She slides her arms around my waist
Tighter every mile
Her lips are against my ear
I grab the clutch and find a higher gear
She said, "Don't look back, I gotcha covered
Forget the past, we've got each other"
And as I left the life before her far behind
She rode a little closer, lookin' over my shoulder
I check the mirror and catch her eye
She blows me a kiss
A round photograph reflecting
Just how right this is
I shouted I'm the king of the world
And I'll be yours forever, girl
And she said, "Don't look back, I gotcha covered
Forget the past, we've got each other"
And as I left the life before her far behind
She rode a little closer, lookin' over my shoulder
Over my shoulder
Over and over
She said, "Don't look back, I gotcha covered
Forget the past, we've got each other"
And as I left the life before her far behind
She said, "Don't look back, I gotcha covered
Forget the past, we've got each other"
As we left the life before us far behind
She rode a little closer, lookin' over my shoulder
She said, "Don't look back, I gotcha covered"
I know you know,
So what're you waitin' for
Life is way too short
Girl, you can't lie
What you feel inside
Is screamin' in your eyes
Whoa-oh, come on over
Whoa-oh, a little closer
Let your love speak
Get your knees weak
Fall into my arms
You can't hide it,
So, don't deny it
Open up your heart, and set it free
Let your love speak
Oh, let your love speak
One kiss, you'll see
I'll make you believe
You belong with me
Girl, you can run
There's no place that far
It's written in the stars
Whoa-oh, come on over
Whoa-oh, a little closer
Let your love speak
Get your knees weak
Fall into my arms
You can't hide it,
So, don't deny it
Open up your heart, and set it free
Let your love speak
Oh, let your love speak
Whoa-oh, come on over
Whoa-oh, yeah
Let your love speak
Get your knees weak
Fall into my arms
You can't hide it,
So, don't deny it
Open up your heart, and set it free
Let your love speak
Let your love speak
Get your knees weak
Fall into my arms
Baby, you can't hide it,
So, don't deny it
Open up your heart, and set it free
Open up your heart, and set it free
Let your love speak
Whoa-oh, let your love speak, whoa-oh
All night long
Girl, let it speak
You can't hide it
Called in sick to the coffee shop
Said let's go someplace the weather is hot
Bought two plane tickets and called the yellow cab
Drank all our money in beach side bars
Took pictures of each other smoking cheap cigars
Stole a blanket from the hotel room and slept on the sand
We held the world like a glass of lemonade
It tasted sweet, oh man, we had it made
Didn't we laugh, weren't we brave?
Wasn't it cool, acting like fools
With nothing in our way
Picture in a frame, deep blue sky
You and I, stuck in time, like we would never fade
Baby, why'd we have to change?
Did we get older, too grown up
To do anything, just because
Just because we just don't give a damn?
Oh, when did we get so serious
What happened to that part of us?
Baby, can you help me, I just don't understand
We held the world like a glass of lemonade
Tasted sweet, oh man, we had it made
Didn't we laugh, weren't we brave?
Wasn't it cool, acting like fools
With nothing in our way
Picture in a frame, deep blue sky
You and I, stuck in time, like we would never fade
Baby, why'd we have to change?
Look at us in that photograph, so beautifully naive
I want it back
Didn't we laugh, weren't we brave?
Wasn't it cool, acting like fools
With nothing in our way
Picture in a frame, deep blue sky
You and I, stuck in time, like we would never fade
Baby, why'd we have to change?
Let's call in sick, leave this town
Don't matter where we go, let's just go now
Queen of the night, life of the party
It's all an illusion
You can't hide that big of heartache
So stop the delusion
Waiting for someone's rescue
My arms are right here for you
Through the wind and the rain
Through the laughter and pain, count on me
And when life isn't fair and there's nobody there I will be
In a world of pretenders, I am your defender
And when it all comes down, I'll be the last one standing
This is for life don't ever doubt it
I'm already falling
And love is alive so stand up and shout it
'Cause destiny's calling
The others who stand behind me
They don't look nothing like me
Through the wind and the rain
Through the laughter and pain, count on me
And when life isn't fair and there's nobody there, I will be
In a world of pretenders, I am your defender
And when it all comes down, I'll be the last one standing
Waiting for someone's rescue
My arms are right here for you
Through the wind and the rain
Through the laughter and pain count on me
And when life isn't fair and there's nobody there, I will be
In a world of pretenders I'll never surrender
And when it all comes down
Yeah when it all comes down, I'll be the last one standing
Yeah, yeah
I'll be the last one standing
You've been livin' way too long in broken-promise land
Your dreams crushed an' scattered like a million grains of sand
I'd love to be your redemption but I am just a man
I may never be a hero but I'm a rock you can lean on
If I don't love you like you deserve
If I don't stop every tear you're cryin'
If I don't make your life a heaven on this earth
I'll die tryin', I'll die tryin'
I'll listen to your secret prayer an' share your deepest wish
Search for a hundred years just to find the perfect kiss
Of everything within my power there's nothin' I won't give
To be that part of you an' your life oh that takes what's wrong, makes it right
If I don't love you like you deserve
If I don't stop every tear you're cryin'
If I don't make your life a heaven on this earth
I'll die tryin', I'll die tryin'
I may never be a hero but I'm a rock you can lean on
If I don't love you like you deserve
If I don't stop every tear you're cryin'
If I don't make your life a heaven on this earth
I never knew there were such great movies on TV at 3 a.m.
I'd never guessed that at midnight Tuesday, I could have pizza ordered in
I've never been a real night owl but these days I'm all turned 'round
There's only one thing I'm sure of right now
I should be sleeping instead of keeping
These late hours I've been keeping
I've been pacing and retracing
Every step of every move
Even though I'm feelin' so right
I'm so happy still I know
I should be sleeping instead of dreaming
About you
I never knew that I was funny till I went and made you laugh
Never liked a girl to call me honey but you did and I liked that
I keep thinking about your smile, trying to read between the lines
Looks like I'll be up for awhile
When I should be sleeping instead of keeping
These late hours I've been keeping
I've been pacing and retracing
Every step of every move
Even though I'm feelin' so right
I'm so happy still I know
I should be sleeping instead of dreaming
About you
After just 3 dates and one great kiss
It's way too soon to be obsessing like this
I should be sleeping instead of keeping
These late hours I've been keeping
I've been pacing and retracing
Every step of every move
Even though I'm feelin' so right
I'm so happy still I know
I should be sleeping instead of dreaming
About you
Dreaming about you
I should be sleeping dreaming about you

There's a long, long stretch of highway
Here in front of me
It just seems to keep on windin'
As far as I can see
Sometimes, these wrong turns are sweet mysteries
But sometimes, they take us where we're meant to be
I love this feelin' of freedom
Runnin' through my veins
Spent too long at the crossroads
Waitin' for the light to change
Even if it takes forever
And I never find out where it goes
Heaven knows I love this road
These days become a lifetime
It happens way too fast
You miss what's 'round the corner
If you just keep lookin' back
Sometimes, it feels like you can't find your way
And sometimes, all you have to go onstage
But I love this feelin' of freedom
Runnin' through my veins
Spent too long at the crossroads
Waitin' for the light to change
Even if it takes forever
And I never find out where it goes
Heaven knows I love this road
I love this road
Wind at my back, the sun on my shoulders
Pushin' me, movin' me a little bit closer
Sometimes, a little trust is just enough to take you there
I love this feelin' of freedom
Runnin' through my veins
Spent too long at the crossroads
Waitin' for the light to change
Even if it takes forever
And I never find out where it goes
Heaven knows I love this road
I love this road
I love this road
I love this road
I love this road
Sometimes, these wrong turns are sweet mysteries
I love this road
The morning after what have I done?
What did I promise? Did I say love?
I can't believe, it's come to this
All on account of one good night kiss
She must have learned how at the movies
Only fiction could move me like this
She was Cameron Diaz, Julia Roberts
She was Madonna, I wouldn't stop if I could
She was Bridget Bardot, she was Sophia Loren
She was Jean Harlow, it was a Hollywood kiss
Celine was singin' in the background
Ooh, she had the lightin' down just right
She said something like, "Take me, you fool"
And the cameras moved in tight
I had a vision of the future
Our wedding day the preacher says
"Lift the veil and go ahead"
She was Jennifer Lopez, Gywenth Paltrow
She was little Miss Love Hewitt
I never had a chance
She was Marilyn Monroe wind blowin' in the white dress
She was Mae West, pretty Miss was a Hollywood kiss
She was Marilyn Monroe wind blowin' in the white dress
She was Mae West, it was a Hollywood kiss
Na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na , it was a Hollywood kiss
Na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na , it was a Hollywood kiss
Lazy yellow moon comin' up tonight
Shinin' through the trees
Crickets are singin' and the lightning bugs are floatin' on the breeze
Baby, get ready
Across the field where the creek turns back
By the ol' stump road
I'm gonna take you to a special place that nobody knows
Baby, get ready
You and me going fishing in the dark
Lying on our backs and counting the stars
Where the cool grass grows
Down by the river in the full moon light
We'll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night
Just movin' slow
Stayin' the whole night through
Feels so good to be with you
Spring is almost over and the summer's comin'
The days are gettin' long
Waited all winter for the time to be right, just to take you along
Baby, get ready
And it don't matter if we sit forever
And the fish don't bite
Jump in the river and cool ourselves from the heat of the night
Baby, get ready
You and me going fishing in the dark
Lying on our backs and counting the stars
Where the cool grass grows
Down by the river in the full moon light
We'll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night
Just movin' slow
Stayin' the whole night through
Feels so good to be with you
You and me going fishing in the dark
Lying on our backs and counting the stars
Where the cool grass grows
Down by the river in the full moon light
We'll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night
Just movin' slow
Stayin' the whole night through
Feels so good to be with you
You and me going fishing in the dark
Lying on our backs and counting the stars
Where the cool grass grows
Down by the river in the full moon light
We'll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night
Just movin' slow
Stayin' the whole night through
You don't put on a lot of makeup
You like to wear your hair pulled back
When the kids'll call, you come a runnin'
You always put yourself last
Most people would say...
You're an everyday woman
But you're everything to me
You are so beautiful
You're an angel I can see
And I'm going to love you
I'm going to love you
Everyday, woman
How do you juggle this busy life
And still have something left for me
I've asked God why I'm the lucky man
Who gets to live in your love's strength
Maybe to this world...
You're an everyday woman
But you're everything to me
You are so beautiful
You're an angel I can see
And I'm going to love you
I'm going to love you
Everyday, woman
And I'm going to love you
I'm going to love you
The Devil went down to Georgia
He was lookin' for a soul to steal
He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind
And he was willin' to make a deal
When he came across this young man
Sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot
And the Devil jumped up on a hickory stump
And said, ?Boy, let me tell you what?
?I guess you didn't know it, boy
I'm a fiddle player too
And if you'd care to take a dare
Well, I'll make a bet with you?
?Now you play pretty good fiddle, boy
But give the Devil his due
I'll bet a fiddle of gold against your soul
'Cause I think I'm better than you?
The boy said, ?My name's Johnny
And it just might be a sin
But I'll take this bet, you're gonna regret
I'm the best that's ever been?
Johnny, rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard
Hell broke loose in Georgia and the Devil deals his cards
And if you win you get this shiny fiddle made of gold
And if you lose, the Devil gets your soul
The devil opened up his case
And he said, ?I'll start this show?
And fire flew from his fingertips
As he rosined up his bow
When he pulled the bow across the strings
And it made an evil hiss
And a band of demons joined in
And it sounded somethin' like this, here we go
When the Devil finished
Johnny said, ?Well, you're pretty good, old son
But sit down in that chair right there
And let me show you how it's done?
Fire on the mountain, run, boys, run
The devil's in the House of the Rising Sun
Chicken in the bread pan pickin' out dough
Granny, does your dog bite? No, child, no
Well, the Devil bowed his head
Because he knew that he'd been beat
And he laid that golden fiddle
On the ground at Johnny's feet
Johnny said, ?Devil, come on back
If you ever want to try again
Well, I told you once, you son of a gun
I'm the best that's ever been?
Fire on the mountain, run, boys, run
The Devil's in the House of the Rising Sun
Chicken in the bread pan pickin' out dough
Kick my countrified soul
Well, I heard it on the radio, they're comin' back to town
Playin' at the Wilson County Fair
Put in my forty and some overtime, I think I'm overdue
You can bet your party boots that I'll be there
For some red-hot, real fast, chicken-pickin' turbo-grass
Aerosmith or Cotton Eyed Joe
A little starlight, moonshine, down home, party time
Turn it loose and let it go and kick my countrified soul
The band is a pumpin', the singer's got the crowd
Crazy and dancin' in the aisles
There ain't nobody sittin' got their hands up in the air
There's a couple shakin' like the girl's gone wild
For some red-hot, real fast, chicken-pickin' turbo-grass
Aerosmith or Cotton Eyed Joe
A little starlight, moonshine, down home, party time
Turn it loose and let it go and kick my countrified
Chicken in the bread pan pickin' out dough
Mama's tuned in to the radio
Everybody's in the backyard, what do you know
Singin' 'Walk This Way' to the 'Cotton Eyed Joe'
New York City, Cleveland, Boston, Carolina, L.A., Austin
Doesn't matter where you're from, everybody needs
A little starlight, moonshine, down home, party time
Turn it loose and let it go and kick my countrified
Red-hot, real fast, chicken-pickin' turbo-grass
Aerosmith or Cotton Eyed Joe
A little starlight, moonshine, down home, party time
Turn it loose and let it go, kick my countrified soul

Five year old Superman got a beach towel cape
And he thinks he can
So he takes a dive off the chicken coop
A red behind and a broken foot
Daddy said, "I hope you learned your lesson good"
"Yes sir, next time, I'm gonna wear the Superman boots"
(Go on, give it a try)
(Go on, give it a try)
Red rhinestones and a Silvertone
Opry playin' on the radio
He says, "One day, I'm gonna be on that stage"
Spends all his time practicin'
Gets a big break and it all begins
Now he's waiting in the wings and Porter's callin' out his name
Believe
You can fly, you can sing
Take a leap, spread your wings
Believe
Have a little faith, little trust
Little luck, little love, and dream
Whatever you want
But you've gotta believe
(Go on, give it a try)
(Go on, give it a try)
(Go on, give it a try)
(Go on, give it a try)
Her mama said, "It's wasted tips in an all-night diner
"Babies, boys and black eye liner
"It's a womans life, it ain't rocket science"
She set her site on the Ivy League
Got a full free ride and her PhD
Now shes down in Houston and shes one of NASAs finest
(Go on, give it a try)
(Go on, give it a try)
He's ninety-one, she's eighty-five
Said, "By God, we're still alive
Lets go steppin' out before cashin' in"
Take the Cadillac down to the Broken Spoke
Do the ole two-step and the cotton-eyed Joe
Just like the South, they're gonna rise again
Believe
You can fly, you can sing
Take a leap, spread your wings
Believe
Have a little faith, little trust
Little luck, little love, and dream
Whatever you want
But you've gotta believe
Good things come to those who will believe
So believe
You can fly
Give it a try
You're gonna see
Whatever you want
Whatever you dream
If you believe
(Go on, give it a try)
(Go on, give it a try)

You can fly, you can dance
Take a leap, take a chance

I don't need a whole lot of money
But I wouldn't turn a lottery down
I just need a little green in my pocket
So I can buy my buddies a round
All I want is a place to lay my head
With the woman I love lyin' in my bed
Kind of understated
My dreams aren't that complicated
I wanna be the one
When all is said and done
Who lived a good life, loved a good wife
And always helped someone in trouble
On the day they lay me down
I want everyone to gather 'round
And say, 'He was a father, brother, neighbor and a friend
He was a good man'
Used to dream of being a rock star
And seein' the world in style
Used to dream of havin' a fast car
And driving that miracle mile
But I've heard tell those streets aren't paved in gold
They're full of pot holes and empty souls
Who never learn
Love is something you gotta earn
I wanna be the one
When all is said and done
Who lived a good life, loved a good wife
And always helped someone in trouble
On the day they lay me down
Want everyone to gather 'round
And say, 'He was a father, brother, neighbor and a friend
He was a good man'
When I'm gone, I wanna leave a legacy
Of love and laughs and honesty behind me, behind me
I wanna be the one
When all is said and done
Who lived a good life, loved a good wife
And always helped someone in trouble
On the day they lay me down
Want everyone to gather 'round
And say, 'He was a father, brother, neighbor and a friend
He was a good man'
Yeah, I wanna be a good man
A father, a brother, a neighbor and a friend
He's workin the late shift tonight
But his thoughts are not there.
There's a girl he's missing her
He's got some feelings he needs to share.
No matter what he does
He just can't forget The times they had
And the special night they met.
CHORUS
And he hopes she knows that there's nothing in the world
that he wants more that the love of that sweet girl.
She thinks she's the lucky one
But he thinks differently to be with her he'd give anything
He just wants her to see now that he's found found her there's nothing more he needs
He can't wait to see where their love leads
I don't know the path that I should take
choices are harder to make everyday
I don't know why I let you go
because I'm crying for you night and day
CHORUS
I see you now you're looking so good
wishing I was back in your arms
I know that now things can't be the same
so I'll just wait for another day
Emotions are high when we are together
just like the spring weather blooming all the time
I can't see the two of us apart
You're the only love that will be in my heart
CHORUS
Then you come around standing face to face
You're the only heart that I will take
CHORUS
Barefoot walkin' on a white sand beach
Fishin' on a log in a backwoods creek
A baby in a month and a baby on her hip
And when I kiss her on her lips
It's all
Flowers and sunshine
Spring rain in the summertime
I swear I get so high on that sweet natural girl of mine
Sweet natural girl of mine
No matter how much she dresses it down
Turn every head turn every head as she walks through town
Slip off swimmin' in a creek somewhere
Cause all my baby ever wears
Are those
Flowers and sunshine
Spring rain in the summertime
I swear I get so high on that sweet natural girl of mine
Sweet natural
My oh my
Look at that girl standin' right there all natural
Walking through the garden lettin' down her hair
Throwing down a blanket and layin' right there
Flowers and sunshine
Yeah
Flowers and sunshine
Spring rain in the summertime
I swear I get so high on that girl of mine
Flowers and sunshine
Spring rain in the summertime
I swear I get so high on that sweet natural girl of mine
Sweet natural girl of mine
What if you knew it was your last cigarette
Would you take it down slow and savor it
Would your roll it on your tongue, scared to let it go
Then hold it in your chest cause you know you'd be missin' it
Before it's even secondhand smoke
Sometimes the stars line up, sometimes the world stands still
Sometimes the things you love the most you forget to feel
What if the time that got away had a way of coming back
And tellin' you hold on, this'll be your last
I was lying there awake with your back against my chest
When that alarm clock went off and ruined it
Just another Wednesday morning
You said just five minutes more but it was pour the
Coffee, pass the toothpaste, quick kiss on the cheek
Before you walked out the door
Sometimes the stars line up, sometimes the world stands still
Sometimes the things you love the most you forget to feel
What if the time that got away had a way of coming back
And tellin' you hold on, this'll be your last
I would've turned you around
I wouldn't have let you go
Oh, baby, I just didn't know
Sometimes the stars line up, sometimes the world stands still
Sometimes the things you love the most you forget to feel
What if the time that got away had a way of coming back
(Richard Marx/David Cole/Pat Allingham/Patrick Bourque/ Danick Dupelle/Brad Mates/Mike Melancon)
I watch the way he looks at you
He don't see you like I do
He never speaks the words I long to say
He don't know that what he's got
Is everything I'll ever want
I can't keep this inside one more day
Chorus:
If you were my girl
My feet would never touch the ground
If you were my girl
My heart would shout your name out loud
I could conquer the world
If you were my girl
You're the prayer I pray when I'm on my knees
The oxygen that lets me breathe
The flame that burns inside me all the time
Every note of a beautiful melody
The perfect rhyme in poetry
Baby, you are everything but mine
Chorus 2:
If you were my girl
My feet would never touch the ground
If you were my girl
My heart would shout your name out loud
There's nothing that I could not do
If it was you I came home to
I could conquer the world
If you were my girl
Baby, I swear this flame will burn eternally
So keep your eyes open, jump on in
You will see what you need is me
If you were my girl
Oh, I'd never want to see you cry
You're with him and I don't know why
What a different world
If you were my girl
I would conquer the world
You oughta be a little more careful baby
You know I'm dangerous
With my wild imagination
You'd better stop right now
Yeah you better
Oohhh, it's too late
That pink cotton candy, the sound of your voice
Completely destroys me
I've got no choice
CHORUS
Yeah, I'm coming apart at the seams
Feeling you pulling my strings
Waking me up with a dream
That's so real
With passionate desperate
Pasionate desperate
Passionate desperate love
You're holding me closer than a whisper baby
Mmm secretly I love the way you drive me crazy
Wanna feel, gotta feel
Your hands cooling my skin
I'm caught in the flames of my desire
Your pour on your kisses
Baby, that's fire
CHORUS
Yeah, I'm coming apart at the seams
Feeling you pulling my strings
Waking me up with a dream
That's so real
With passionate desperate
Passionate desperate love
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
I know I'm making a scene
But don't wake me up from this dream
I finally know what it means
To feel
CHORUS
Yeah, Passionate Desperate
Yeah, Passionate Desperate
Yeah, Passionate Desperate
I can't believe you're here with me inside this dream come true
I'm so gone, I'm so far lost in your arms, in you
Here we are again between the darkness and the light
Hopin' that this moment could be frozen in time
I don't want this night to slip away
I just wanna lie in your embrace
And never see the sun come up
Just stay lost in your love
I wanna feel you brush against my skin
I don't want this feeling to end
I wanna see the moon dance on your face
I could lie here forever and never see the light of day
Dawn is closing in, stars surrenderin', I'm still giving in to you
As the light arrives, peeking through the blinds all that's on my mind is you
I'll have to start the day like all my other days begin
Waiting on that moment when I can say again
I don't want this night to slip away
I just wanna lie in your embrace
And never see the sun come up
Just stay lost in your love
I wanna feel you brush against my skin
I don't want this feeling to end
I wanna see the moon dance on your face
I could lie here forever and never see the light of day
I don't want this night to slip away
I just wanna lie in your embrace
Never see the sun come up
Just stay lost in your love
I wanna feel you brush against my skin
I don't want this feeling to end
I wanna see the moon dance on your face
I could lie here forever and never see the light of day
Never see the light of day
Boxed in, feel small, four walls closin' in again
Just like clockwork, ahhhah
On a line, too long, hung out, dryer than the desert sand
And I just don't feel like
The stars are aligned, the world is mine
The time is right, but what if
Yeah what if that is that
Chorus:
One day, the one that you always say
If it never came along
You'd never let it get away
Just like a last dance
There's never a second chance
To hold on (hold on), so hold on
What if this is that one day
It's so hard to see dreams you're building
Crashing down fast just like dominoes, ahhhah
Can't hide on roof tops from raindrops
So spread your wings, soak it up
Before it gets too late and
It's easier to quit the game and hide your pain
But what if, yeah what if this is that
Chorus
Oh you never know, oh you never know, oh you never know
No you never really know, what if, what if, what if, yeah what if this is that
She was the love of my life
Back in '95
We hardly spent a day or night apart
We were victims of a lonely heart
And I remember that day
It all went away
Yeah, when I think about it even now
I find a reason to smile somehow
CHORUS:
'Cause I've still got yesterday
Runnin' wild
Yesterday, when I close my eyes
I drift away
Back where I come from
And today might not be fair
And tomorrow may not be there
But I've still got yesterday
Zach was the one to hang around
We all used to drive through town
With the girls in his daddy's car
Said he was gonna be a big league star
But it was rainy one night
And he didn't see the red light
Now there's a stone where he used to be
And everybody cries but me
Repeat Chorus
I've heard people say
You learn the future by the past
If it's any indication
Then I'm looking back
'Cause I've still got yesterday
Runnin' wild
Yesterday, when I close my eyes
I drift away
Back where I come from
Yesterday, when we had our dreams
Yesterday, loud and free
I steal away and I find that summer sun
Today may not be fair
And tomorrow may not be there
But I've still got yesterday
The search has gone on through the ages
Searching for the Promised Land
The Lord said build up the pages
Preachers have taken their stand
So many hearts that was lost in the dark
Til I saw the light in your eyes
When I'm with you there's no doubt
That I found her at last
CHORUS
Heaven is wherever you are
It's not a faraway place
It's a state of the heart
So I look to the stars but I don't have to go that far
Heaven is wherever you are
I lay by your side in the moonlight
And wonder how a man could be so blessed
An angel like you holding me tight
You've chosen me above all the rest
You've shown me a path to a love everlasting
The answer to all my prayers
Everybody's dying to find it and we're already there
REPEAT CHORUS 2 TIMES
So I look to the stars but I don't have to go that far
This is crazy
I've been swept away
It's amazing
I'm walking around in a daze
It hit me from the blindside
But I could see that it was right
Looks like I'm in it for the ride of my life
CHORUS
Love's a trip
It's a one way ticket
To a destination that's unknown
Take a chance and go for it all
Love's a trip when you fall
Love's a trip when you fall
She's perfection, an angel in my eyes
Keeps me guessing, every turn is a surprize
With the body of a woman, the spirit of a child
Everything about her drives me wild
Yes it does
REPEAT CHORUS 2 TIMES
Love's a trip
Well I gotta a bad reputation
For stayin' out all night long
Partyin' with all my good time friends
Til all my money's gone
There's been alota ladies
Tryin' to settle me down
Oh but its all in vain
Til you came along with a love so strong
and now I'm ready for the ball and chain
CHORUS
I'm give up smokin', drinkin', fishin', gamblin',
Huntin', boatin', fightin', ramblin'
Baby just to be with you
But it ain't no sacrifice
Cause you're the only dice
I'm addicted to
My friends all say
my fun and games are through
But I don't wanna have fun
I just wanna have you
So take me out of circulation
Put me under lock and key
Cause if you don't save me from myself
I'm gonna be the death of me
All my bar room buddies think I've lost my mind
Cause I don't come around anymore
Well it maybe so but
they don't know what goes on behind closed doors
CHORUS
I'll give up my remote control
And we can watch some old movie instead of the Super Bowl
CHORUS
I don't wanna have fun I just wanna have you
You gotta pay attention in this life
Opportunities could slip right by
You gotta take a chance
Or you'll never know
Sometimes you gotta stop
To say which way to go
Once upon a time could be today
We could be in love
And it's hard to say
Maybe we should stop to reassess
Maybe I should ask instead of guess
Baby are you ever talking about me
When you tell me all your fantasies
Do you really think of someone else
It sounds like me but it's hard to tell
CHORUS
Woahohohoh C'mon let's experience
Yeah all of the love we feel tonight
C'mon baby don't keep me waiting
Ya grab on the reigns and join the ride
Life is too short to sit on the fence
So, C'mon let's experience
Lately when we try to say goodnight
Feels like we never get it right
Every little touch
We still want more
I don't think it was that way before
Even though you say we're only friends
Everybody asks again and again
Even though we don't
Maybe we should
Together they all say we look so good
CHORUS
Woahohohoh C'mon let's experience
Yeah all of the love we feel tonight
C'mon baby don't keep me waiting
Ya grab on the reigns and join the ride
Life is too short to sit on the fence
So, C'mon let's experience
Yeah, C'mon let's experience
Speedin' the down freeway
Tryin' to make some time
I pull into school, it's 5 to 9
Run down the hall to make the 9 o'clock check
But you don't have to go if you're a real Redneck
Too many times I've heard it this way
Two lates equal one absent day
I got my ropers on and I'm ready to ride
But the seat in my truck is just a little too wide
My girl's on the left and the boys on the right
I hope she knows she'll be alone tonight
I don't know how it always ends up this way
There's time for girls on another day
CHORUS
Hop in the cab
Turn the radio up
We're heading down to Lefty's for some fries and ketchup
To them girls in the shiny pink cadillac
There's three in the front and four in the back
Slid'er into gear boys were headed for fun
Cruisin' down Redneck Highway 101
Well the sign says 80 but we go 45
Got the pedal to the metal just to keep it alive
Truck broke down along the way
Cut across farmer Jim's field of hay
Hot wired the Deere and then we headed to town
Thank God there were no cops around
CHORUS
Sometimes a change is good for the soul
You gotta look inside your heart to find what you need to know
With my head held high, I'm gonna take that first step
Wherever is leads, there'll be no regrets
CHORUS
I'm at a crossroads and I don't know where to go
I'm scared, uneasy, afraid to follow
I feel the wind, hair on my face
I close my eyes, take a breath and roll with the change
Inch at a time every step feels like a mine
I walk the tightrope to blind faith
I feel like a runaway train on a one way track
The destination unknown and there's no turing back
One foot forward, I'll find my way
The strength that I found will carry me through each day
CHORUS
I walk the tighrope
I walk the tightrope
Well it's 10 pm and all the ladies are looking fine
I'd rather trade off my old steel guitar
just to taste her sweet red wine.
Cause I'm a rusty boy with a nasty toy
that would be my heart,
Just a few shots of that Yukon Jack
You might be my sweet push start.
CHORUS
It's just another hopeful night
for a hopeless guy.
It's just another hopeful night
for a hopeless guy.
Well I stepped out on that dance floor
I smelled honey in the air
When I spotted that queen of diamonds
with her ultraviolet stare
I said hey easy come easy go it's my latest groove,
but it don't make things much easier when some are born to lose.
CHORUS
Well I sat down at my buddy's table
and I bought another round
They say it's better off to go and loosen up
before you run and get shut down.
So I made my move across that room
to my sweet little sugar pie
I winked and I asked her for a dance
She said I could make you fly.
She said my boyfriend's here and
it really would be nice,
but he doesn't want me dancing with you hopeless guys.
CHORUS
Well I grabbed her hand and I kissed her cheek
Man I sure did fly, but it was out across
that dance floor with her boyfriend and two black eyes.
It was an easy come but a tougher go
but I guess that's nothing new
as that sexy waitress iced my head
someone tell me this is true.
I'm getting really sick and tired
of this hopeless fight,
You're late again boy
I showed up at the office in my workboots, jeans and t-shirt
Boss said that's a good way to lose a job
You shoulda seen the look on his face
When I emptied out my briefcase
I said I think I'll take the rest of my life off
I've got a brand new Beemer that I'm tradin up
For a run down puddle jumpin' pick'em up truck
Got a camper shell and wrap-a-rack
I've been to the top now I'm going back to Easy Street
CHORUS
Well the road to success leads back to the woods
Down to the creek where the fishing is good
Maid in the shade and fine champaigne
Sipping lemonade under an old oak tree
You don't worry about the cost of living getting too high
When you've got everything money can buy
Guess you can die for free on Easy Street
Now when I buy stock
I go to the local farmers' market
It's a heavy trading at the auction barn
I can get more motivation from old timer's conversation
Then I ever got from a corporate seminar
Now I call living high on a hog
Poor child screaming eatin' corn on the cob
Plunk my feet on Fifth Avenue
For a 40 acre farm with a country view
On Easy Street
CHORUS
You don't worry about the cost of living getting too high
When you've got everything money can buy
Guess you can die for free on Easy Street
If you're looking for me I'll be down in Easy Street
Yesterday I decided to die today
said the boy to his angel
I don't know why they should cry today
If I'm in their hearts it doesn't seem that way
The angel stared into those weary eyes
saying Son you just don't realize
The people you know do not always show
the love they have for you will always be true
A voice from inside came crying out to me
Asking friend why don't you talk to me
I understand you're not just a great ascent
CHORUS
You are one of a kind
I call you my friends
You are part of my family
Your are my son
I will love you forever
If you are his friends your life will never end
said the angel to me
His parting words will stay close to me
Now that a soft voice has left the scene
I am the way, the truth, and the light
No one come through the father except through me
I woke up early this morning
without any signs or a warning
My friends were all kneeling around me in prayer
I remember my friend and the angel up there
This is my family around me in prayer
I have a love now that i must declare
This is my family around me in prayer
Billy had an eye for looking
She had her eye on him
They may know how they stayed together
Be it sink or swim
Through the autumn, through the winter
You'd never see them apart
Then Billy left for a summer job
That girl she broke his heart
CHORUS
Don't you know that you might have a ticket
Oh you just might right on time
but if things ain't willing love have mercy cause
Some trains never come
Some trains they never come
Sally found her Mr. Right
Dressed in a three piece suit
That night he offered to drive her home
After drinks after 2
He never bothered to mention a word
About the wife and kids
He thought he'll never bother to call her at all
Ain't that the way it is
CHORUS
Only two people who swear its coming
Some say its already passed
I say they'll never find it at all
Until you walk the tracks
Don't you show that you might have a ticket
Oh you just might right on time
but if things ain't willing love have mercy cause
Some trains never come
Some trains they never come
Don't you know you can't see where you're going
If you can't remember where you've been
Cause now love will leave you waiting
Crying at the station
Some trains never come
She's had 40 long hours workin' underpaid and overworked
Yes Sir and right away Maam
She's been goin' to bed at 9 o'clock
Wakin' up and gettin caught in that same old traffic jam
Now it's finally Friday Night
She's got her Stetson and her jeans on tight
There's only one thing on her mind
CHORUS
Tonight she wants to dance
Tonight she don't need no honky tonk romance
She's out to feel good
Tear up the hardwood
Tonight she just wants to dance
There's parkin' lot Romeos
Crankin' up their stereos
Yellin' come and sit in my cab
She just smiles and walks by
Through the door and inside
She ain't havin' none of that
She fights her way through the crowd
Up to where it's good and loud
And she's lets out a rebel shout
CHORUS
She's been by the joint's rockin'
Everybody hollers more more more
Feelin' fine there's no stoppin'
Well she's gettin' what she came here for
She out to feel good
Tear up the hardwood
Tonight she just wants to dance
Kick up her heels to a honky tonk band
She's out to feel good
Tear up the hardwood
Tonight she just wants to dance
No turning back
The time has come
What used to be just you and me has come undone
Guess I know can't tell me why
There's no room for reason
through the season of goodbye
CHORUS
When the sky turns black
And the rain comes down
You wonder if you see the light from solid ground
When the final truth becomes a lie
How does a heart survive
The Season of Goodbye
The perfect plan
The dream come true
The best laid plans go wrong
But for a chosen few
Can't tell you why
It must be so
Every prayer gets answered
But sometimes the answer's no
What you needed most
When you started out
Has finally become what you must do without
When a flame of hope flickers and dies
How does a heart survive
The season of goodbye
I feel my heart just screaming
Each pounding beat is seeming
Like it's gonna be the last
Everybody's gone from the past
Seasons of another time
Somehow that's all far behind
For the season of goodbye
When the final truth becomes a lie
How does a heart survive
Oh, I wake up at Five, and work by Six AM
She looks at me and smiles
Pulls the covers back over her head
Were like two peas in a different pod, if you know what i mean
I like my coffee black, she only drinks green tea
She likes to read a book, but id rather watch t.v
To look at her you'd never know, that we were meant to be
Like a lid on a jar, Like a tip on a bar
Shes like a puzzle, I'm a missing piece
That fits in the middle makes a picture complete
A lock and a key, or a boat and a breeze
Like some jelly in the center of a doughnut just tastes better
We Fit Together
And everybody knows, that love just don't make sense
and the way carry on, makes people scratch their heads
But that's okay its how we roll, its just the way it is
Like a lid on a jar, Like a tip on a bar
Shes like a puzzle I'm a missing piece
That fits in the middle, makes a picture complete
A lock and a key, or a boat and a breeze
Like some jelly in the center of a doughnut just tastes better
We Fit Together
There ain't no tearing us apart, We Fit Together
Like the air in my tire, or the beat of my heart
Like a lid on jar, Like a tip on a bar
Shes like a puzzle I'm a missing piece
That fits in the middle, makes a picture complete
A lock and a key, or a boat and a breeze
Like some jelly in the center of a doughnut just tastes better
We Fit Together
whoa whoa yeah We Fit Together
whoa Like a lid on a jar, Like a tip on a bar
She wants to get dressed up and dance out on the edge
Knock on my door and stumble to my bed.
She loves to kick me out and pull me back again
She's got a way of messing with my head.
She knows I can't deny her soul
She holds my heart to the flame.
She smiles and I'm reminded that
I've got no one else to blame.
She doesn't know it hurts
She only knows she's beautiful
It's not her fault, I tell myself
To just let go of her
Every time I say, "I'll never fall again"
Well she comes around and I'm right back in the hurt
Yeah she always gets what she wants, whoa.
She needs to feel the eyes of envy on her skin
She don't ever tell me where she's been.
She hates it when I act like I don't give a damn
She turns it on and I'm right back in her hands.
She knows I can't deny her soul
She holds my heart to the flame.
She smiles and I'm reminded that
I've got no one else to blame.
She doesn't know it hurts
She only knows she's beautiful
It's not her fault, I tell myself
To just let go of her
Every time I say, "I'll never fall again"
Well she comes around and I'm right back in the hurt
Yeah she always gets what she wants,
She always gets what she wants!
She knows I can't deny her soul
She holds my heart to the flame.
She smiles and I'm reminded that
I've got no one else to blame.
She doesn't know it hurts
She only knows she's beautiful
It's not her fault
I tell myself to just let go!
Every time I say, "I'll never fall again"
Well she comes around and I'm right back in the hurt.
Yeah she always gets what she wants
She always gets what she wants.
There's a rusted old truck, sittin' out in the backfield
Yeah, it's still stuck up to the four wheels
We head down to the pub, after work with a couple friends
Dollar bills can't get you drunk like they did back then
Well some people leave, but they always come back
To raise their kids and hang their hats
Woah oh oh
Just look around, we are this town
Woah oh oh
Every inch of ground, we are this town
'Fore the sun comes up, yeah Cindy's makin' coffee
Tommy sets down his mug, says it's gonna be a long week
Load the kids in the car, head to church on a Sunday
There'll be nowhere where to park, if you turn up late
This is where I'm from, where I learned about life
Where they'll lay me down, yeah when it's my time
Woah oh oh
Just look around, we are this town
Woah oh oh
Every inch of ground, we are this town
(We are, we are)
(We are, we are)
Yeah we are this town
Woah oh oh
Just look around, we are this town
Woah oh oh
Every inch of ground, we are this town
I use to want my freedom more than anything at all
I thought love was just another ball and chain
Captured by her tenderness glad I took the fall
In your loving arms I shall remain
CHORUS
I'm looking for a lifetime of a hard labour of love
Gonna be so fine with the one I'm dreaming of
Ready to tow that line
I've been running long enough
I'm ready for a lifetime in
A hard labour of love
My friends all think I'm crazy for turning myself in
But I don't really care what people say
If maximum security's the best its ever been
Lock me up and throw the key away
You can't hide what you feel
It's in the words you don't say
When it's this right and it's this real
It shines through anyway
Go ahead, see if your heart doesn't fall
You know it's already too late
Yeah, you just go on and you act nonchalant
I know what you need and I know what you want
If you're wanting a love that's forever
Take it from me, take it from me
I knew we could be so good together
Take it from me
This is something we don't want to live life without
Believe me, I know what I'm talking about
I want to be with you and give you
The love that you need
Take it from me
Stop the wind, stop the rain
Stop this thing, if you can
Try to stop a runaway train
You'll see that it's out of our hands
Some things are bigger than both of us, baby
Sometimes you have to let go
And run with the feeling that brought us this far
I know who I am, and I know who you are
If you're wanting a love that's forever
Take it from me, take it from me
I know we could be so good together
Take it from me
This is something we don't want to live life without
Believe me, I know what I'm talking about
I want to be with you and give you
The love that you need
Take it from me
Take me right now, take me into your arms
I know what you need, and I know what you want
If you're wanting a love that's forever
Take it from me, take it from me
I want to be with you and give you
The love you need
Take it from me
Haven't been myself these days
Tryin' to see through a deep blue haze
Wonder if my live will ever be the same
And I know that giving in
Is easier that starting over again
But don't expect to hear me call your name
Chorus:
I'll shout at the walls, hold my breath till I fall
But it won't get the better of me
I'll live with the pain till all that remains is a memory
Where you used to be
Go nowhere fast with my foot on the gas
Howling at the moon
But I won't come running on back to you
I bet you think I'm drinking too much
Spend every moment longing for your touch
That I'm in little bitty pieces on the floor
I made up my mind this'd be the last time
And you held me to my word
The night you walked our future out that door
Chorus
Don't ask me where we went wrong
You were weak, baby, now I must be strong
Yeah
I'll shout at the walls, hold my breath till I fall
But it won't get the better of me
I'll live with the pain till all that remains is a memory
Where you used to be
I won't back down, when you come back around
No matter what you do
But i won't come running on back to you
No it won't get the better of me
I'll live with the pain till all that remains is a memory
Where you used to be
Go nowhere fast with my foot on the gas
Howling at the moon
I put a "For Sale" sign on the front of my truck
Said, "Call any time, I'm always up"
Make an offer
One that I won't refuse
I bought a one-way ticket on a westbound plane
4 hours later
I was wearing shades in California
Yeah, just hanging loose
I didn't pack one memory
And even though I breathe
I can go where I wanna go,
Do what I wanna do,
Be who I wanna be,
But baby
You still own me
Say what I wanna say,
Hear what I wanna hear,
Dream what I wanna dream,
But baby
You still own me
I was up all night
'Cause I couldn't sleep
Instead of staring at the ceiling
I hit the beach, took a long walk
It didn't help me much
I sat down in the sand
With a handful of shells
Kicked off my shoes
While me, myself, and I watched the sun come up
Looking out across the sea,
Oh, it finally dawned on me
I can go where I wanna go,
Do what I wanna do,
Be who I wanna be,
But baby
You still own me
Say what I wanna say,
Hear what I wanna hear,
Dream what I wanna dream,
But baby
You still own me
Baby I'm not in your arms
You still own me
But you're still in my heart
I can go where I wanna go,
Do what I wanna do,
Be who I wanna be,
But baby
You still own me
Say what I wanna say,
Hear what I wanna hear,
Dream what I wanna dream,
But baby
You still own me
Oh yeah... alright
One hot Alberta day, we loaded up our Chevrolet,
Headed down to the lake to meet the boys.
Six pack and fishin' pole try our luck at our fishing hole
Just an average weekend with
some good'ol country boys.
CHORUS
And the only woman that we'll let out here
Is Mother Nature if she brings some beer
It's our only chance to make some noise
With the good Peace Country Boys.
Well we pulled out our guitars and started to rock
The fish were jumpin' at the end of the dock.
Sittin' round the fire drinkin' our beer.
Order up another round just tryin' to improve our sound
Thankin' to God that the women were not here.
REPEAT CHORUS 2 TIMES
Let me set you straight
Just in case there's a trace of doubt
Since you came along
I know what it's all about
If it were up to me, I know it's not, but if it was
We'd skip formality and we would be in love
Baby, are you thinkin' what I'm thinkin'
'Cause I'm thinkin', baby, we could make it, you and me
Come a little closer, hand your heart over and see
Precious time's a wastin', baby, if you're waitin' on me
Girl, I've never been torn up turned inside out
I'm feelin' a feelin that I never have felt til now
If it were up to me, I know it's not, but if it was
We'd skip formality and we would be in love
Baby, are you thinkin' what I'm thinkin'
'Cause I'm thinkin', baby, we could make it, you and me
Come a little closer, hand your heart over and see
Precious time's a wastin', baby, if you're waitin' on me
To be the one you run to when your tears fall down
I'll always be there for you like I am right now
Baby, are you thinkin' what I'm thinkin'
'Cause I'm thinkin', baby, we could make it, you and me
Come a little closer, hand your heart over and see
She stopped counting the times
Her heart's been broken
Too many promises and too many tears
Yeah each time somebody hurt her
She fell a little bit further
Heaven left her stranded here
CHORUS
She's a stone angel
Her wings are just too heavy to fly
She's a stone angel
It's not that there's no love left inside
She's just heard one too many goodbyes
Her dreams unguarded she was such an easy target
For every joker with a smoking gun
Yeah Yeah
For every lie they told her
She turned a little bit colder
Now she don't trust anyone
REPEAT CHORUS TWO TIMES
Na na na na na na
She's She's She's
A stone angel
Na na na na na na
I've waited all night for this moment
To watch the day kiss the darkness goodbye
And I barely remember falling asleep
But the minute I open my eyes
Every dream comes true
When I look at you
I see heaven, I see an angel
Lying here next to me
Bring out the best in me
Hearts entangled, wrapped in forever
This close together
Me holding you, you holding me
You opened my eyes, baby I see
Heaven
I reach up to open the window
Let the cool air dance its way through
The sun and the sky is so blindingly bright
But it doesn't compare to you
Girl, I'm lost in time
As I watch you shine
I see heaven, I see an angel
Lying here next to me
Bring out the best in me
Hearts entangled, wrapped in forever
This close together
Me holding you, you holding me
I see heaven, I see an angel
Lying here next to me
Bring out the best in me
Hearts entangled, wrapped in forever
This close together
Me holding you, you holding me
You opened my eyes, baby I see
Heaven
What About Now Emerson Drive
The sign in the window said for sale or trade
On the last remaining dinosaur of Detroit main
Seven hundred dollars was a heck of a deal
For a four hundred horsepower jukebox on wheels
And that road rolls out like a welcome mat
I don't know where it goes but it beats where were at
We always said some day some how
Were gonna get away, gonna blow this town
What about now, how 'bout tonight baby for once lets don't think twice
Let's take that spin that never ends that we've been talking about
What about now, why should we wait, we can chase these dreams down the interstate
And be long gone fore the world moves on and makes another round
What about now
We've been putting this off baby long enough
Just gimmie the word and we'll be kickin up dust
We both know it's just a matter a time
Till our hearts start racin for that county line
What about now, how 'bout tonight baby for once lets don't think twice
Let's take that spin that never ends that we've been talking about
What about now, why should we wait, we can chase these dreams down the interstate
And be long gone fore the world moves on and makes another round
What about now
We could hang around this town forever makin plans
But there won't ever be a better time to take this chance
What about now, how 'bout tonight baby for once lets don't think twice
Let's take that spin that never ends that we've been talking about
What about now, why should we wait, we can chase these dreams down the interstate
And be long gone fore the world moves on and makes another round
What about now -Yeah - Oh oh
This town has only seven roads
And only three stoplights
I'm finding out that's not much room
For a memory to hide
Can't seem to find a single place
That you and me ain't been
It's like pieces of our love
Have covered every inch
I used to love this little town so much
But it'll never be the way that it was
'Cause we painted too much of this town
If I was gonna stay here, I'd have to burn it down
Not a sidewalk or a street sign, a building I could pass by
Or a corner that I can go around
'Cause we painted too much of this town
There's a soccer field behind the school
Where we shared our first kiss
That little shop on College Street
Where you bought that red dress
That rooftop is where we watched
That summer sun come up
That window in that jewelry store
We saw we were in love
Yeah, everything around here stays the same
And I wish to God it never would have changed
'Cause we painted too much of this town
If I was gonna stay here, I'd have to burn it down
Not a sidewalk or a street sign, a building I could pass by
Or a corner that I can go around
'Cause we painted too much of this town
I gotta leave it all behind me
(This town)
There's just too much to remind me
'Cause we painted too much of this town
If I was gonna stay here, I'd have to burn it down
Not a sidewalk or a street sign, a building I could pass by
Or a corner that I can go around
'Cause we painted, yeah, we painted too much of this town
Yeah, too much of this town
Too much of this town
Too much of this town
This town has only seven roads
It all started from nothin'
Just a couple friends and Dad's guitar
Learnin' songs in the basement
The Dirt Band and Restless Heart
I can't say it's been that easy
And I can't say it's been that hard
A million miles out the window
And feels like we've yet to start
Let it roll, let it roll
Just keep on goin'
The road we leave behind
Let it roll, let roll
Just keep on dreamin'
Of what we're out to find
Let it roll, let it roll
Just keep believin'
This is not goodbye
We'll keep you on our minds
As we're rollin' out tonight
As we're rollin' out tonight
Seven nights in smokey bar rooms
Three hundred days away from home
But everything changes with a hit song
Still makin' fans coast to coast
Let it roll, let it roll
Just keep on goin'
The road we leave behind
Let it roll, let roll
Just keep on dreamin'
Of what we're out to find
Let it roll, let it roll
Just keep believin'
This is not goodbye
We'll keep you on our minds
As we're rollin' out tonight
Let it roll, let it roll
Just keep on goin'
The road we leave behind
Let it roll, let roll
Just keep on dreamin'
Of what we're out to find
Let it roll, let it roll
Just keep believin'
That this is not goodbye
We'll keep you on our minds
As we're rollin' out tonight
As we're rollin' out tonight
Let it roll, let it roll, let it roll, let it roll
Oh, just keep believin'
