(Miranda Lambert)
Maybe you're just jaded from some nobody's unforgotten words
Maybe you're just faded, a little gray from every time that you've been hurt
So you're lookin for your skin that you never did fit in
You can't hide when you're turned inside out
Love is looking for you now
Maybe you been burnin' but you can't blow out a flame that you can't find
Maybe you've been thirsty but the rain just aint enough when you're this dry
So you're runnin' from the water and the fire's getting hotter
I think you better find some lever ground
Love is lookin' for you now
Love is lookin' for you now
Maybe you been wearing the shoes that someone else is wearing now
Maybe you've been swearing forever might have already run out
You can't love yourself at the expense of someone else
You can't hide a liar from the truth
Love is lookin' for you
Love is lookin' for you
I've been looking for you
Baby I've been lookin€..
I've been looking for you
County road 233, under my feet
Nothin' on this white rock but little ole me
I've got two miles till, he makes bail
And if I'm right we're headed straight for hell
Chorus:
I'm goin' home, gonna load my shotgun
Wait by the door and light a cigarette
If he wants a fight well now he's got one
And he ain't seen me crazy yet
He slap my face and he shook me like a rag doll
Don't that sound like a real man
I'm going to show him what a little girls made of
Gunpowder and lead
It's half past ten, another six pack in
And I can feel the rumble like a cold black wind
He pulls in the drive, the gravel flies
He dont know what's waiting here this time
I'm goin' home, gonna load my shotgun
Wait by the door and light a cigarette
If he wants a fight well now he's got one
And he ain't seen me crazy yet
He slap my face and he shook me like a rag doll
Don't that sound like a real man
I'm going to show him what a little girls made of
Gunpowder and lead
His fist is big but my gun's bigger
He'll find out when I pull the trigger
I'm goin' home, gonna load my shotgun
Wait by the door and light a cigarette
If he wants a fight well now he's got one
And he ain't seen me crazy yet
He slap my face and he shook me like a rag doll
Don't that sound like a real man
I'm going to show him what a little girls made of
Gunpowder and lead
You draw it out like a highway
With every word that you say
Excuses for the answers that you lack
Your mama's still the steady ground you walk on every day
And your daddy's still the monkey on your back
Did you find all you thought you'd
Find out in the wild, wild west
You took a little piece of home
And you threw away the rest
You say you're livin' on the edge and
I think you're hangin' from a ledge
Too scared to hold the hand
That wants to help you up
Are you the man you thought you'd be
By the time that you turned 33
Are you still a bullet in your daddy's gun
Don't forget boy you're your mama's only son
She's at home and she's been praying for you
So what about Georgia
Saw your sister yesterday
Austin's five and on his way
Looking for some shoes that he can fill
He said that he'd be just like you
The coolest guy he ever knew
And he'd find you when he lost his training wheels
I looked in his big blue eyes
And I saw you again
He's hungry for a life that
He ain't ready to begin
You say you're livin' on the edge and
I think you're hangin' from a ledge
Too scared to hold the hand
That wants to help you up
You the man you thought you'd be
By the time that you turned 33
Are you still a bullet in your daddy's gun
Don't forget boy you're your mama's only son
She's at home and she's been praying for you
So what about Georgia
Guess you didn't realize it'd
Take you quite this long
To figure out that being free
Is right where you belong
You say you're livin' on the edge and
I think you're hangin' from a ledge
Too scared to hold the hand
That wants to help you up
Hey, you the man you thought you'd be
By the time that you turned 33
Are you still a bullet in your daddy's gun
Don't forget boy you're your mama's only son
She's at home and she's been praying for you
So what about Georgia
What about Georgia, yeah
What about Georgia, Georgia, yeah
My neighbors car got stole last night
right out of his driveway.
We heard the dogs barking,
we never paid them any mind.
And mary says she's gonna lock the door
from now on when we go away.
I've been walking around this farm
wondering if it's time...
Time to get a gun.
Thats what I've been thinking.
I could afford one,
if I did just a little less drinking.
Time to put something,
between me and the sun.
When the talking is over
it's time to get a gun.
Last week a government man was there
when I walked out my back door.
He said i'm sorry to bother you
it don't matter anymore
ause even while we were talking
right here where we stand,
they give plans for a four lane highway
and a big old overpass.
It's time to get a gun
thats what i've been thinking
I could afford one
if I did just a little less drinking.
Time to put something
between me and the sun.
When the talking is over
it's time to get a gun.
Mary says she's worried
about her stuff and her kids.
Never known anybody had a gun
and her daddy never did.
But I think it should be up to me
cause when it's all said and done
somebody's gotta walk into the night
and I'm gonna be that one.
It's time to get a gun
that's what I'm thinking.
I could afford one
if I did just a little less drinking.
Its time to put something
between me and the sun.
When the talking is over
its time to get a gun.
When the party is over
I'd run away but I can't escape the power of your pride
Your eyes are cold like an empty soul and I'm burning up inside
There's nothing wrong with letting go and you're still diggin' in
We're racing to the bottom and I' can't find the end
And there's a wall
Standing here between us
And that's all that's keeping you from freedom
And I keep pushing harder and you keep getting stronger
You won't break cause you're afraid you'll fall
And there a wall
You love me when you want to and you find reasons to fight
Another lame excuse to keep the devil on your side
Trying hard to hide those scares that I've already seen
Your beat up heart's not the only thing that's keeping you from me
And there's a wall
Standing here between us
And that's all that's keeping you from freedom
And I keep pushing harder and you keep getting stronger
You won't break cause you're afraid you'll fall
And there a wall
Pain has made you weak and hard
I will never be as strong,
As strong...
As this wall
Standing here between us
And that's all that's keeping you from freedom
And I keep pushing harder and you keep getting stronger
You won't break cause you're afraid you'll fall
Devil had a daughter
Took him to the water
Tried to kill him with a kiss
He said "Hey now honey
What about the money"
I said "I ain't got time for this"
Take me, take me somewhere trouble don't go
Make me, make me someone trouble don't know
He said baby come inside
I said sorry I've got to ride
Sorry but I've got to ride
You know you could end up dead
Sleepin in the devil's bed
Take me, take me somewhere trouble don't go
Make me, make me someone trouble don't know
Baby wants to drive my car
But he wants to go to far
But he wants to go to far
First come's love and it's so fine
Then comes heartache right behind
Then comes heartache right behind
My baby used to be so sweet
Now he wont come down my street
Now he wont come down my street
All my plans got derailed
He locked up my heart in jail
He locked up my heart in jail
Take me, take me somewhere trouble don't go
So here you are
In your borrowed car
Kickin rocks around
Lookin at your shoes
It's the same old you
Tell me where you been
Where you're goin to
Where were you last night
Boy listen up when I'm talkin to you
It's the same old you
Another lonely night
With that same old whiskey morning
It's the same old you
When you get to drinkin
The same old you
When you're on the town
The same old you
In church on Sunday
Gettin high when the sun goes down
Well this time I done some thinkin
And I think I'm done with you
Cause until I get to leavin
It's just the same old me too
Well your mama's gunna cry her eyes
There aint gunna be no wedding day
What's she gunna say?
When I tell her how I had no choice
The same old you couldn't
Even raise your voice
And ask me to stay
I wouldn't anyway
So you can keep your ring
And I can keep my daddy's name
It's the same old you
When you get to drinkin
The same old you
When you're on the town
The same old you
In church on Sunday
Gettin high when the sun goes down
This time I done some thinkin
And I think I'm done with you
Cause until I get to leavin
It's just same old me too
Do do do do do
Do do do do do
Cause until I get to leavin
Weather man said it's gonna snow,
By now I should be used to the cold.
Mid-February shouldn't be so scary.
It was only December,
I still remember the presents,the tree, you and me.
But you went away,
How dare you?
I miss you.
They say I'll be okay,
But I'm not going to ever get over you.
Living alone, here in this place,
I think of you and I'm not afraid.
Your favorite records make me feel better,
Cause you sing along with every song.
I know you didn't mean to give them to me.
But you went away,
How dare you?
I miss you.
They say I'll be okay,
But I'm not going to ever get over you.
It really sinks in, you know,
When I see it in stone
'Cause you went away
How dare you?
I miss you.
They say I'll be okay,
One more night with the same neon lights
And I'll find my place at the bar.
One more down, so I buy one more round
And I'll try to drown out my heart.
He'll walk in and make every head turn
and he'll always be dressed to kill.
Day I left is my only regret
And now it's become his biggest thrill.
And all my friends'll say, "Hey don't you know him?"
And I'll try to play it off cool
When they ask I'll just say, "He's nobody"
And me well I'm nobody's fool
Won't take long and he'll find him someone
And then pull them out for a dance.
Every "no" tells me that's all she wrote
And reminds me how I missed my chance.
When he's done he'll have a little more fun
And he'll let her act like she's smooth.
As they walk out, while I learning about
What it is to have nothing to lose.
And all my friends will say, "Hey don't you know him?"
and I'll try to play it off cool
when they ask I'll just say, "He's nobody"
She's beautiful in her simple little way
She don't have too much to say when she gets mad
She understands she don't let go of anything
Even when the pain gets really bad
Guess I should've been more like that
You had it all for a pretty little while
And some how you made me smile when I was sad
You took a chance on a bruised and beaten heart
Then you realized you wanted what you had
I guess I should've been more like that
I should have held on to my pride
I should have never let you lie
I guess you got what you deserved
I guess I should've been more like her
Forgiving you, she's stronger than I am
You don't look much like a man from where I'm at
It's plain to see desperation showed it's truth
You love her and she loves you with all she has
I guess I should've been more like that
I should have held on to my pride
I should have never let you lie
I guess you got what you deserverd
I guess I should've been more like her
I was standing there crying in the kitchen
It's been one of those mornings that's gonna last all day
And he comes in, wraps his arms around me
And I don't even have to say a thing
That's what makes it love
That's what makes it a love song
He comes in, slams the door behind him
He can't hide the worry on his face
Even though I got a million things to tell him
I know right now he just needs some space
That's what makes it love
That's what makes it a love song
That's what makes it love
That's what makes it a love song
Everybody always sings about it
How they're never gonna live without it
We don't even have to talk about it
'Cause we're living it out
That's what makes it love
That's what makes it a love song
That's what makes it love
Love Letters on wet paper
Forgivers, no takers
An angel who never got wings
You find Jesus and it's too late
He's already closed the front gate
And the sign's flashing no vacancy
You've broken my heart for the last time
You promise the truth and you told lies
You've really made me believe
That love was supposed to be free
Love letters on wet paper
Forgivers, no takers
An angel who never got wings
You find Jesus and it's too late
He's already closed the front gate
And the signs flashing no vacancy
I'll never forget how he used to be
But I'm better off living with memories
I know that it's gonna hurt
But I dont think it gets any worse
And love letters on wet paper
Forgivers, no takers
An angel who never got wings
You find Jesus and it's too late
He's already closed the front gate
And the sign's flashing no vacancy
Oh me oh my oh,
Would ya look at miss Ohio.
She's a running around with her rag top down.
She says I wanna do right, but not right now.
I'm gonna drive to Atlanta,
And live out this fantasy.
Running around with your rag top down.
Yeah, I wanna do right, but not right now.
Had your arm around her shoulder,
A regimental soldier,
And mamma starts pushing that wedding gown,
Yeah, I wanna do right but not right now.
Oh me oh my oh,
Would ya look at miss Ohio.
She's a running around with her rag top down.
She says I wanna do right, but not right now.
I know all about it,
So you don't have to shout it,
But I'm gonna straighten it out somehow.
Yeah, I wanna do right, but not right now.
Oh me oh my oh,
Would ya look at miss Ohio.
She's a running around with her rag top down.
She says I wanna do right, but not right now.
Yeah, a wanna do right, but not right now.
There's a dark cloud hanging over my heart
I can't see where it ends, or where it starts.
I should get over you, but baby, it's so hard,
with this dark cloud hanging over my heart.
There's a sad song ringing in my head.
Baby, it's been here ever since you left.
I should be moving along how far would I get
with this sad song ringing in my head.
Chorus:
I just really miss you, I just really miss you,
There's a life I can't ask you to leave.
I just really miss you, right now I kinda want to.
The closest that you'll ever be to me
is free.
There's a hard wind blowing through this town.
And nothing left to hold is pushing me down.
It blows over you and me without a sound.
There's a hard wind blowing through this town.
Chorus:
I just really miss you, I just really miss you,
There's a life I can't ask you to leave.
I just really miss you, right now I kinda need to.
The closest that you'll ever be to me
is free.
Now it's one more night at the upside down,
it's ten steps in, and hundred miles back out.
Chorus:
I just really miss you, I just really miss you,
There's a life I can't ask you to leave.
I just really miss you, right now I kinda need to.
The closest that you'll ever be to me
is free.
tongue is sharp
got an ax to grind
girls go wrong, men go right after them
i don't win and it's a compromise
you'll be the loser that pays the dividend
far from you you'll find me
such an easy target and a tragedy
you're just a shiver looking for a spine
you can have your way, but you can't have mine
if i had one wish you'd go away
i haven't snapped yet, but i'm on the brink of it
and i'm not as dumb as the look on your face
you'll never be half the man your mama is
overloaded by the way you talk
a hairpin trigger that i can't stop
empty words taking up my time
and you can have your way
but you can't have mine
'cause every shot baby it feels like a resurrection
i'm looking for affection at the bottom of a bottle of gin
you show up and it starts another chain reaction
oh but i can't tell if it's you or the drink
it's too hard to know
'cause it hurts to think
far from you you'll find me
such an easy target and a tragedy
you're just a shiver looking for a spine
you can have your way, but you can't have mine
'cause every shot baby it feels like a resurrection
i'm looking for affection at the bottom of a bottle of gin
you show up and it starts another chain reaction
oh but i can't tell if it's you or the drink
it's too hard to know
'cause it hurts to think
I ain't the kind you take home to mama
I ain't the kind to wear no ring
Somehow I always get stronger
When I'm on my second drink
Even though I hate to admit it
Sometimes I smoke cigarettes
Christian folks say I should quit it
I just smile and say, "God bless"
'Cause I heard Jesus, He drank wine
I bet we'd get along just fine
He could calm a storm and heal the blind
And I bet He'd understand a heart like mine
Daddy cried when he saw my tattoo
Said, he loved me anyway
My brother got the brains of the family
So I thought I'd learn to sing
'Cause I heard Jesus, He drank wine
And I bet we'd get along just fine
He could calm a storm and heal the blind
And I bet He'd understand a heart like mine
I'll fly away from it all one day
I'll fly away
These are the days that I will remember
When my names called on a roll
They'll meet me with two long stem glasses
Make a toast to me coming home
'Cause I heard Jesus, He drank wine
And I bet we'd get along just fine
He could calm a storm and heal the blind
And I bet He'd understand
County Road 233 under my feet
Nothin' on this white rock but a little ol' me
I got two miles 'til he makes bail
And if I'm right we're headed straight for hell
I'm goin' home, gonna load my shotgun
Wait by the door and light a cigarette
He wants a fight, well now he's got one
He ain't seen me crazy yet
Slapped my face and he shook me like a rag doll
Don't that sound like a real man
I'm gonna show him what a little girl's made of
Gunpowder & lead
Well, it's half past ten, another six pack in
I can feel the rumble like the cold black wind
He pulls in the drive, gravel flies
But he don't know what's waitin' here this time
Hey, I'm goin' home, gonna load my shotgun
Wait by the door and light a cigarette
He wants a fight, well now he's got one
And he ain't seen me crazy yet
Slapped my face and he shook me like a rag doll
Don't that sound like a real man
I'm gonna show him what a little girl's made of
Gunpowder & lead
His fist is big but my gun's bigger
He'll find out when I pull the trigger
I'm goin' home, gonna load my shotgun
Wait by the door and light a cigarette
He wants a fight well now he's got one
He ain't seen me crazy yet
Slapped my face and he shook me like a rag doll
Don't that sound like a real man
I'm gonna show him what a little girl's made of
Gunpowder &, gunpowder & lead
Rain on the window makes me lonely
And time keeps on passing so slowly
The old man sitting next to me is falling asleep
On a Greyhound bound for nowhere
The sun's going down on my misery
Another day gone by with broken dreams
That telephone I hear ringing, I keep wishing it was you
On a Greyhound bound for nowhere
And that ring that you were wearing don't mean everything
And the way that you stood staring as you watched me roll away
She loves you and you need me and there's some things we can't share
I'm on a Greyhound bound for nowhere
Bright lights of the city shining up here
My heart's analyzing every word you said
Did you take me for a fool or did you really care?
I'm on a Greyhound bound for nowhere
That ring that you were wearing don't mean everything
And the way that you stood staring as you watched me roll away
She loves you and you need me and there's some things we can't share
I'm on a Greyhound bound for nowhere
And I'm gonna find some place I can ease my mind
And try to heal my wounded pride
Rain on the window and I'm still lonely
And time keeps on passing so slowly
You're with her and I'm alone, and you're wishing I was there
I'm on a Greyhound bound for nowhere
You don't need a girl like me
I've got bruises you can't see
And when the lights go out
I won't be around
You don't need a girl like me
You can't have a heart like mine
But you can hold it for a while
and when the lights go out
I won't be around
You can't have a heart like mine
There's a rule that goes unwritten
And I break it from time to time
If you're fool enough to listen
Then I'm fool enough to lie
That's the kind of girl I am
I take off before I land
And even though you think you can
You can't change the way I am
Cause the rule remains unwritten
I still break it from time to time
If you're fool enough to listen
Then I'm fool enough to lie
You can't change the way I am
the weather man
says rain today
we'll saddle up and be on our way
what's a little rain to a high ridin' rebel or two
cuz it's easy living
easy loving you
people keep searchin' for a reason why
they say life's a bitch and then you'll die
but i can't see
a reason for their point of view
cuz it's easy living
easy loving you
talk shows talking how it's near the end
of the one man woman
and the one woman man
we might fight like dogs
but hey we love the makin' up at the end of the day
tomorrow that old sun will rise
i'll be laying here by your side
a coffee cup and a good morning kiss or two
cuz its easy living
easy loving you
cuz it's easy living
Dear diamond
Pretty and new
Perfectly flawless too good to be true
Dear diamond
You shine like the sun
Wrap around my finger just like he does
You cost more than he wanted to lose
And with this ring I said I do
Promised to never do what I've done
I've been lying to someone
Dear diamond
What will we do?
Lie like the devil or just face the truth
Dear diamond
Be my saving grace
What he don't know will kill him
That I can't face
You cost more than he wanted to lose
And with this ring I said I do
I promised to never do what I've done
I've been lying to someone
Dear diamond
Dear diamond
With your band of gold
Some people you have, some people you hold
Dear diamond
I promise to keep
I feel like the flowers in this vase
He just brought 'em home one day, "Ain't they beautiful?" he said
They been here in the kitchen and the waters turnin' gray
They're sittin' in the vase but now they're dead, dead flowers
I feel like this long string of lights
They lit up our whole house on Christmas Day
But now it's January and the bulbs are all burned out
But still they hang like dead flowers
He ain't feelin' anythin'
My love, my hurt or the sting of this rain
I'm livin' in a hurricane
All he can say is, 'Man ain't it such a nice day?'
Yeah, yeah
I feel like the tires on this car
You said they won't go far but we're still rollin'
I look in the rear view and I see dead flowers in the yard
And that string of lights and it ain't glowin'
Like dead flowers, like dead flowers
He ain't feelin' anythin'
My love, my hurt or the sting of this rain
I'm drivin' through a hurricane
All he can say is, "Man ain't it such a nice day?"
Hey, hey, I guess we'll just go to waste
Like dead flowers
I have been dragging around
your sensitive ego
Making sure that your bags arrive on time
For the dog and pony show
a leather suit case like a brick
it kinda makes it hard to get a good grip
I drop your troubles off at the conveyor belt
I hand you a ticket to go get it your self
At the baggage claim
you got a lot of luggage in your name
When you hit the ground check the lost and found
cuz it aint my problem now I can't carry it all
I got a lot of troubles on my own
Its all over the yard and in the trunk of the car
I'm packing it in, so come and get it
If it aint obvious what has set me off today
behind every women scorned is a man
who made her that way
Go on and take your little business trip
with that sweet little habit that you can't kick
You better call your momma when ya get to town
cuz I aint gonna be hanging around
At the baggage claim
you got a lot of luggage in your name
When you hit the ground check the lost and found
cuz it aint my problem now I can't carry it all
I got a lot of troubles on my own
Its all over the yard and in the trunk of the car
I'm packing it in, so come and get it
come get it
Come and pick it up
before I blow it up in flames
you better pick it up
pick it up
Baby I mean everything
at the baggage claim
you got a lot of luggage in your name
When you hit the ground check the lost and found
cuz it aint my problem now I can't carry it all
I got a lot of troubles on my own
Its all over the yard and in the trunk of the car
ilsa was an acrobat who went and fell in love with that
horatio the human cannonball.
a weddin' 'neath the big top tent with barkers clowns and elephants
sideshow family oddities and all.
the dog-faced boy howled out with joy
as the tattooed lady was crying.
ever since the beginning to keep the world spinning
it takes all kinds of kinds.
thomas was a congressman with closets full of skeletons
and dresses that he wore on friday nights.
phyllis was a pharmacist, a dab of that, a pinch of this
concocted to suppress her appetite.
when the children were fiddlin' she'd slip 'em some ritalin
and wait for thomasina to arrive.
cause ever since the beginning to keep the world spinning
it takes all kinds of kinds.
all kinds of kinds.
when i play this old guitar from children's shows to smoky bars
i take a break and think about the past.
when i stood up in geometry and everybody stared at me
and i tossed my test into the trash.
i scratched off my number while hitching out under
that bush league population sign.
ever since the beginning to keep the world spinning
it takes all kinds of kinds.
now some point a finger and let ignorance linger
if they'd look in the mirror they'd find.
that ever since the beginning to keep the world spinning
it takes all kinds of kinds.
all kinds of kinds.
Sometimes I wish I lived in Airstream
Homemade curtains, lived just like a gypsy
Break a heart, roll out of town
Cause gypsies never get tied down
Sometimes I wish I lived on a mountain
Drank from a stream instead of a fountain
I'd stay there, top of the world
But I was born a red dirt girl
Unbridled or tethered and tied
The safety of the fence or the danger of the ride
I'll always be unsatisfied
Sometimes I wish I lived by a pier
In a lighthouse with a chandelier
I'd watch everybody's ships come in
And then I'd sail away with them
Unanchored in the storm
Or safely on the shore
If this is all I need, why do I want more
Sometimes I wish I lived in an airstream
There he goes, gone again
Same old story's gotta come to an end
Lovin' him was a one way street
But I'm gettin' off where the crossroads meet
A quarter moon in a ten cent town
It's time for me to lay my heartaches down
Saturday night I wanna make myself a name
Take a month of Sundays to try and explain
It's gonna be easy to fill the heart of a thirsty woman
And harder to kill the ghost of a no good man
And I'll be ridin' high in a fan dangled sky
It's gonna be easy, it's gonna be easy from now on
Raw as a whit but clean as a bone
Soft to the touch when you take me home
When the mornin' comes and it's time for me to leave
Don't worry 'bout me, I got a wild card up my sleeve
It's gonna be easy to fill the heart of a thirsty woman
And harder to kill the ghost of a no good man
And I'll be ridin' high in a fan dangled sky
It's gonna be easy, it's gonna be easy
It's gonna be easy from now on, from now on
It's gonna be easy
It's gonna be easy
It's gonna be easy
It's gonna be easy, easy
God knows I tried everything I could
To stay inside tonight
But that boy's like a sore in your mouth
That you just have to bite
This number one is shakin' hands
With numbers two and three
Is it guilty in here or is it just me
I made a point of not mixin'
Love and pleasure in my life
Daytime boys and nightime boys
Usually don't see eye to eye
But I've been on a roll of late
And they're all on their knees
Is it guilty in here or is just me
What became of all the boys
Who only want one thing
Will someone tell me what I'm doin' wrong
'Cause the good ones all got wedding rings
And the young ones are just too dumb
I don't think I have any more
Room underneath my thumb
Maybe after all the ends do justify the means
Is it guilty in here or is it just me
[Chorus]
'Cause the good ones all got wedding rings
And the young ones are just too dumb
I don't think I have any more
Room underneath my thumb
Maybe after all the ends do justify the means
Is it guilty in here or is it just me
Well, the road was hot and flat as a ruler
Good hundred miles 'tween me and Missoula
That vinyl top wasn't gettin' no cooler
So I stopped at a quickie sack
And I figured I'd need about a six of miller
And one of them things so I wouldn't spill her
And I asked the girl if the beer was in the back
She said, "It's a dry town
No beer, no liquor for miles around
I'd give a nickel for a sip or two
To wash me down out of this dry town"
So I turned right around, no hesitation
Cursed the laws ruinin' the nation
Waved goodbye to the boy at the station
But she wouldn't go into gear
He said, "It sounds like your transmission
You need Bob but he's gone fishing
On his day off he gets a long way from here"
'Cause it's a dry town
No beer, no liquor for miles around
I'd give a nickel for a sip or two
To wash me down out of this dry town
Well, back home friends you can get a dose of
Something strong from your local grocer
So I walked down 'til I came a little closer
To a place called Happy John's
He said, "I keep some here for colds and fevers
And down underneath's where I usually leave her
But just last night I felt a cold a comin' on"
Now it's a dry town
No beer, no liquor for miles around
I'd give a nickel for a sip or two
To wash me down out of this dry town
I need a sip or two
To wash me down out of this dry town
Down is where I'm goin'
Pain is what I'm showin'
Love is what I'm takin'
Heart's what I'm breakin'
Theres a strong man lives up in Jackson Hole
Took my heart and he broke my soul
Left a dark place in my chest
I sleep but I don't rest
I sleep but I don't rest
Down is where I'm goin'
Pain is what I'm showin'
Love is what I'm takin'
Heart's what I'm breakin'
Met a little boy in Baton Rouge
His eyes were clear and his heart was true
I made the boy's heart scream my name
But he didn't know the game
But he didn't know the game
Down is where I'm goin'
Pain is what I'm showin'
Love is what I'm takin'
Heart's what I'm breakin'
You don't want to be standin' there
When the storm hits you won't have a prayer
My wind will blow you to your knees
Stay away from me
Stay away from me
Stay away from me
Down is where I'm goin'
Pain is what I'm showin'
Love is what I'm takin'
Throw a dog a bone,
I'll take it if i have to
Go real fast like there's somewhere we can get to
What's the use of standing right there on the edge if there ain't nowhere to fall
What's the use in hanging on tight to the phone
If nobody might call
[Chorus:]
Desperation
There's danger in frustration
Complicated words slipping off of your tongue and ain't one of them the truth
I'm still desperate for you
Tell it like a lie,
live it like a movie
Give a heart away like it don't mean nothing to me
What's the use in making all the plans that we made if you weren't gonna go
What's the use of slapping on a smile for a face if your eyes don't wanna show
[Repeat Chorus:]
Well it's too damn bad you didn't have a chance to make me your best friend
You were too caught up in giving too much up and not doing what you should have been
Well It took me 5 bars saw 30 license plates
I saw her mustang
And my eyes filled up with rage
I brought my pistol but I ain't some kinda fool
So I walked right in barehanded
She was on his arm while he was playing pool
Just like I used to do
She kissed him while I got a beer
She didn't think I'd show up here
I'm a crazy ex girlfriend
I watched her for awhile but I didn't like her walk
She came across kinda cheap to me
But hey hows that my fault
She looked at my man like he didn't have on a stitch
Somebody tell that girl
To step up to the plate
I wanna Pitch
Little Bitch
Well those pretty girls can play their game
But their damn well gonna know my name
I'm a crazy ex-girlfriend
Well I started throwing things and
I scared folks half to death
I got up in his face and smelled whiskey on his breath
Didn't give it a second thought to being thrown in jail
Well baby to a hammer everything looks like a nail
And I was mad as hell
Well those pretty girls they're all the same
But they're damn well gonna know my name
I'm a crazy Ex-Girlfriend
I'm a crazy Ex-Girlfriend
I bet this road will take me out of here
Take me far away from Amarillo
I bet this car will go real fast
The wheels might even drive me past
The places that you said I'd never go
Oh...
The Texas Sky is the biggest one I've seen
But it still aint big enough for you and me
All the things that make you mad,
All the baggage in your past
Don't leave much room for a girl like me to be
So I'll fill her up with hope and worn-out dreams
An I'll grab the wheel and point it west
Pack the good and leave the rest
I'll drive until I find the missing piece
You said I wouldn't get too far on a tank of gas
And an empty heart
But I have everything I'll ever need
I got this old guitar and a brand new set of strings
Mama said I never should have done it
Should have ended us before we ever started
Daddy knew about my pride so he stood there
And he smiled inside and I pretended that I
Didn't notice a little tear that fell when I said I was going
I've worried about life and
If it's arriving right on time
I guess if you don't jump
Well the sun just got through going down on this sleepy little Texas town
Population plus one minus one
A new grandma rocks my sister's kid just like twenty years ago she did
The same thing in that same chair
She said "this one's born to run"
Every day at noon like a chapel bell find her Jesus keep her well
Help her do more right than wrong at the end of the day
I got 5 good gears and a tank of gas, fifty watts and Johnny Cash
A guitar and a broken heart just full of things to say
You taught me how to stand those tests and trials
But you can't see a desert sunrise in the bible
She loves me more that anything
And she wants the world for me
Her west dropped off in El Paso,
And her north in Abilene
Mama I'm OK out here
I've seen how hard the world can be
My step is sure and I know my name
I'm strong just like you prayed I'd be
I'm strong just like you prayed I'd be
If I'd have done what you and daddy done, would have never lost and never won
Or gotten myself kicked when I was down
I would not know how to travel well, A hundred bucks and cheap motels
I would not know how to fight for my own heart next time around
Now don't you cry another night about me
In this city I've got angels all around me
She loves me more that anything
And she wants the world for me
Her west dropped of in El Paso
And her north in Abilene
Hey Mama I'm OK out here
I've seen how hard the world can be
My step is sure and I know my name
I'm strong just like you prayed Id be
I'm strong just like you prayed I'd be
I felt it every time you prayed for me
Maybe you're just jaded from some nobody's unforgotten words
Maybe you're just faded, a little gray from every time that you've been hurt
So you're lookin for your skin that you never did fit in
You can't hide when you're turned inside out
Love is looking for you now
Maybe you been burnin' but you can't blow out a flame that you can't find
Maybe you've been thirsty but the rain just aint enough when you're this dry
So you're runnin' from the water and the fire's getting hotter
I think you better find some lever ground
Love is lookin' for you now
Love is lookin' for you now
Maybe you been wearing the shoes that someone else is wearing now
Maybe you've been swearing forever might have already run out
You can't love yourself at the expense of someone else
You can't hide a liar from the truth
Love is lookin' for you
Love is lookin' for you
I've been looking for you
Baby I've been lookin.....
Sweet like a kiss, sharp like a razor blade
I find you when I'm close to the bottom
You can't appreciate the time it takes
To kick a love I always knew was kind of wrong
And as I'm putting out the flame
Somebody brings up your name
Oh oh oh oh
Baby baby baby, bring me down
I wanna be right where you are
Baby baby baby, bring me down
You can look me in the eye and break my heart
Break my heart
Six a.m. unruffled pillow
Laughs out loud at my trusting heart
If like I didn't see the penny
I missed the fountain by a couple yards
You would only stay gone
Maybe I could move on
Oh oh oh oh
Baby baby baby, bring me down
I wanna be right where you are
Baby baby baby, bring me down
You can look me in the eye and break my heart
Oh, baby baby baby, bring me down
I wanna be right where you are
Baby baby baby, bring me down
You can look me in the eye and break my heart
Oh, baby baby baby, bring me down
I wanna be right where you are
Baby baby baby, bring me down
You can look me in the eye and break my heart
Break my heart
I remember vividly what that vision did to me
You laying with her in our bed
Love can be a tragedy when you do what you did to me
All I'm seeing now is red
I need to repent
A sin for a sin
Bible told me to forget all those who trespass against
Tread their feet on sacred ground
Bad things come with consequence what feels good hurts in the end
Don't wanna think about that now
I need to repent
A sin for a sin
Fire and brimstone, dirt and a headstone
Bury them baby, all of our sins
Hear the thunder six feet under
Hit your knees, won't do it again
Guilty pleasure ease the pain
Whiskey running through my veins
Too late to save you now
I need to repent
A sin for a sin
Fire and brimstone, dirt and a headstone
Bury them baby, all of our sins
Hear the thunder six feet under
Hit your knees, won't do it again
Hey white liar
The truth comes out a little at a time
And it spreads just like a fire
Slips off of your tongue like turpentine
And I don't know why, white liar
You better be careful what you do
I wouldn't wanna be in your shoes
If they ever found you out
You better be careful what you say
It never really added up anyway
I got friends in this town
Hey white liar
The truth comes out a little at a time
And it spreads just like a fire
Slips off of your tongue like turpentine
And I don't know why, white liar
You said you went out to a bar
And walked some lady to her car
But your face has more to tell
'Cause my cousin saw you on the street
With a red head named Bernice
Turns out you don't lie too well
Hey white liar
Truth comes out a little at a time
And it spreads just like a fire
Slips off of your tongue like turpentine
And I don't know why, white liar
Here's a bombshell just for you
Turns out I've been lying too
Yeah, I'm a white liar
Truth comes out a little at a time
And it spreads just like a fire
Slips off of my tongue like turpentine
Carrying the weight on the end of a limb
You're just waiting for somebody to pick you up again
Shaded by a tree, can't live up to a rose
All you ever wanted was a silent place to grow
Pretty little thing, sometimes you gotta look up
And let the world see all the beauty that you're made of
'Cause the way you hang your head nobody can tell
You're my Virginia Bluebell, my Virginia Bluebell
Even through the snow a flower can bloom
You just need a little push, spring is coming soon
Umbrella in the rain, let it roll off your back
Weather what you can, realize what you have
Pretty little thing, sometimes you gotta look up
And let the world see all the beauty that you're made of
'Cause the way you hang your head nobody can tell
You're my Virginia Bluebell
Put a little light in the darkest places
Put a little smile on the saddest faces
Pretty little thing, sometimes you gotta look up
And let the world see all the beauty that you're made of
'Cause the way you hang your head nobody can tell
I know a gal got a lot to lose
She's a pretty nice lady but she's kinda confused
Got muscles in her head ain't never been used
Thinks she owns half of this town
Starts drinking heavy gets a big red nose
And she beats her old man with her pantyhose
And takes him out and buys him new clothes
That's the way that the world goes 'round
That's the way that the world goes 'round
One minute you're up and the next you're down
It's a half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown
That's the way that the world goes 'round
Well, I was sitting in the tub just a counting my toes
When the radiator broke and the water froze
Got stuck in the ice without any clothes
Naked as the eyes of a clown
I was crying ice cubes hoping that I'd croak
Then the sun came through the window and the ice all broke
I said son of a gun man that's just a joke
And that's the way the world goes round
That's the way that the world goes 'round
One minute you're up and the next you're down
Got a half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown
That's the way that the world goes 'round
Well, that's the way that the world goes 'round
One minute you're up and the next you're down
Got a half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown
That's the way that the world goes 'round
That's the way that the world goes 'round
Just like the fringe on my boots, you move with every step I take
You walk in front of me, to make sure I don't fall and break
My old heart cause with you I could never
Just like the leather on my saddle, we get prettier with time
Together in the weather, shiny on the other side
Polished and changed, for the better
With you I'm safe
With you I'm safe
I follow you just like a shadow, on the closer end
If you get tired and bound, I'll find a way to free your hands
I'll wash them clean of everything but me
Sometimes you might get thirsty, so I'll catch the rain
Just like the ice in your glass, I'll rattle when you need a drink
You'll never run dry of love, or anything
I'll keep you safe
I'll keep you safe
I'll keep you safe
I keep a locket on my neck that holds your face
I'll spend forever makin' sure I can erase
Every tear you ever thought about cryin'
You make me feel like I'm the only girl in the whole wide world
I wanna hold you like a handful of diamonds and pearls
That I guard with my life or die tryin'
I'll keep you safe
I'll keep you safe
I'll keep you safe
Daddy can you hear the devil drawing near
like a bullet from a gun, run daddy run
all the songs you used to sing to me would rock the birds to sleep
I need you now so please somehow put rockets on your feet
wow wow wow wow
Daddy can you hear the devil drawing near
like a bullet from a gun, run daddy run
saw that dark cloud coming from a million miles away
oh how I've dreaded this god forsaken place
wow wow wow wow
Daddy can you hear the devil drawing near
like a bullet from a gun, run daddy run
Mamas been cryin in the kitchen
sisters been afraid of the dark
I've been gatherin the pieces of all these shattered hearts
I don't care where you go to
I don't care where you land
just get out of here daddy as fast as you can
wow wow wow wow
Daddy can you hear the devil drawing near
like a bullet from a gun, run daddy run
run daddy run, run daddy run
run daddy run, run daddy run
Well, I've been saved by the grace of southern charm
I got a mouth like a sailor and yours is more like a Hallmark card
If you wanna pick a fight, well, I'm gonna have to say good night
I don't have to be hateful, I can just say, "Bless your heart"
And even though I don't belong with your high life friends
Doesn't mean we don't get together and try to make amends
It's easier can't you see? Let's agree to just disagree
We don't have to like each other but it's sure fun to pretend
So let's shake hands and reach across those party lines
You got your friend just like I got mine
We might think a little differently
But we got a lot in common you will see
We're just like you, only prettier
Everybody says you gotta know your enemies
Even if they only weigh a hundred pounds and stand five foot three
If you just smile and behave you can always get your way
It's a universal plan that'll get you where you can in all societies
So let's shake hands and reach across those party lines
You got your friend just like I got mine
We might think a little differently
But we got a lot in common you will see
We're just like you, only prettier, hey
Let's shake hands and reach across those party lines
You got your friend just like I got mine
We might think a little differently
But we got a lot in common you will see
We're just like you, only prettier
Well, I'll keep drinkin' and you'll keep gettin' skinnier
How long has it taken to me to find you?
Five hundred years, five hundred thousand miles.
It don't matter now.
Love's always always on time.
Meet me underneath the Oklahoma sky.
Lightening flashed, everything went silent.
A feather could have knocked me to the floor.
Missing piece was found,
I was finally alive.
Meet me underneath the Oklahoma sky.
With the speed of sound,
I'm homeward bound,
Mmmm.
All our sorrow swept away forever,
Each and every tear washed out to sea.
There ain't no goodbye,
With your hand in mine.
Meet me underneath the Oklahoma sky.
Gives you something you can do with your hands
Makes you look cool and feel like a man
In the morning you'll probably regret me
Me and your cigarettes
Started young, it's too late to quit
Most call it a bad, bad habit
Your mama told you, you could end up dead with me
Me and your cigarettes
Always there every time you need me
It ain't love, it's just like nicotine
You're addicted to a feeling you can only get
From me and your cigarettes
Light us up and then throw us down
Walk away when we hit the ground
How's they gonna feel when you come back around here and see
It's just you and your cigarettes
Always there every time you need me
It ain't love, it's just like nicotine
You're addicted to a feeling you can only get
Me and Charlie boy used to go walking
Sittin' in the woods behind my house
When being lovers meant a stolen kiss
And holding hands with nobody else around
Charlie said, "He wanted to get married "
But we were only ten so we'd have to wait
He said, "We'd never let our love run dry
Like so many do these days"
So we treat our love like a firefly
Like it only gets to shine for a little while
Catch it in a mason jar with holes in the top
And run like hell to show it off
Oh promises we made when we go walkin'
And that's just me and Charlie talking
Charlie always said, "He'd like to live here"
Turned eighteen and left our sleepy town
Letters came and went and I kept waiting
For Charlie to come back and bring the life he'd found
It's funny how time and distance change you
The road you take don't always lead you home
You can start a love with good intentions
Then you look up and it's gone
So you treat our love like a firefly
Like it only gets to shine but for a little while
You catch it in a mason jar with holes in the top
And run like hell to show it off
Oh promises we made when we go walking
That's just me and Charlie talking
Now and then I sometimes think of Charlie
How we thought we new it all back then
Now I'd give anything to feel love
From a child's heart again
So you treat your love like a firefly
Like it only gets to shine for a little while
Catch it in a mason jar with holes in the top
And run like hell to show it off
Oh promises we made when we go walking
i cut my bangs with some rusty kitchen scissors
i screamed his name til the neighbors called the cops
i numbed the pain at the expense of my liver
i don't know what i did next all i know, i couldn't stop
word got around to the barflies & the baptists
my mama's phone started ringin off the hook
i can hear her now sayin she ain't gonna have it
don't matter how you feel, it only matters how you look
go & fix your make up, girl it's just a break up
run & hide your crazy & start actin like a lady
cause i raised you better, gotta keep it together
even when you fall apart
but this ain't my mama's broken heart
wish i could be just a little less dramatic
like a kennedy when camelot went down in flames
leave it to me to be holdin the matches
when the fire trucks show up & there's nobody else to blame
can't get revenge & keep a spotless reputation
sometimes revenge is a choice you gotta make
my mama came from a softer generation
where you get a grip & bite your lip & save a little face
go & fix your make up, girl it's just a break up
run & hide your crazy & start actin like a lady
cause i raised you better, gotta keep it together
even when you fall apart
but this ain't my mama's broken heart
powder your nose, paint your toes
line your lips & keep em closed
cross your legs, dot your i's
& never let em see you cry
go & fix your make up, girl it's just a break up
run & hide your crazy & start actin like a lady
cause i raised you better, gotta keep it together
even when you fall apart
If I ever left this town
I'd never settle down
I'd just be wanderin' around
If I ever left this town
If I wasn't by your side
I'd never be satisfied
Nothin' would feel just right
If I wasn't by your side
'Cause I'm not easy to understand
But you know me like the back of your hand
I'm your girl and you're my man
And we're makin' plans
We can go on and on
Won't ever feel too long
I'll always call you home
And we'll go on and on
'Cause I know you like the back of my hand
Got a heart of gold and a piece of land
I'm your girl and you're my man
I put a bullet in my radio
Something just hit me funny, I don't know
Just pull the trigger going down the road
You slam the door and knock me off the wire
Been walking lines and you've been burning tires
Slowing and easy ain't that what you like?
It's insane
It's in vain
You stay to maintain the pain
I hear your name and then it burns a hole
I swear I hate you but I can't let go
The kind of damage that you can't console
It's all in vain
It's all insane
I swear you'll stay
I swear you'll stay to maintain the pain
It's all in vain
(I hear your name and then it burns a hole)
It's all insane
(I swear I hate you but I can't let go)
I swear you'll stay
(The kind of damage that you can't console)
I swear you'll stay to maintain the pain
i love you more than you'll ever know, and i miss you more than i care to show, ill get better at pretending nothings wrong, its easy when your always all alone. lately i see leaving in your eyes, so nothing you say will come as a surprise you dont even have to try to be sincere, just go on and leave me lyin' here, and ill tell my heart you didnt cause it to break, and ill tell my mind that im the who made the mistakes, and ill tell my eyes they dont even have to cry one tear, just go on and leave me lyin' here. just go on and find you someone new, ill make sure that i end the fool. and maybe someday ill begin to make it clear, youre the one who left me lyin' here. and ill tell my heart you didnt cause it to break, and ill tell my mind that im the one who made the mistake, and ill tell my eyes they dont even have to cry one tear, just go on and leave my lyin' here. just walk away and leave me lyin' here.
I don't want to see you or feel you
I don't want to look into your eyes
I don't want to touch you or miss you
I just want to love your memory tonight
I can't handle all this pain
All we ever do is fight anyway
Why we even tried I haven't a clue
With hearts involved there's way too much to loose
I don't want to see you or feel you
I don't want to look into your eyes
I don't want to touch you or miss you
I just want to love your memory tonight
You were something else to look at
Your intentions they weren't' all bad
You tried to make me something I wasn't
Lord knows there aint no future in all that
I don't want to see you or feel you
I don't want to look into your eyes
I don't want to touch you or miss you
I'm waitin' on the sun to set 'cause yesterday ain't over yet
I started smokin' cigarettes there's nothing else to do I guess
Dusty roads ain't made for walkin', spinnin' tires ain't made for stoppin'
I'm givin' up on love 'cause love's given up on me
I gave it everything I had and everything I got was bad
Life ain't hard but it's too long livin' like some country song
Trade the truth in for a lie, cheatin' really ain't a crime
I'm givin' up on love 'cause love's given up on me
Forget your high society, I'm soakin' it in Kerosene
Light 'em up and watch them burn, teach 'em what they need to learn, ha
Dirty hands ain't made for shakin', ain't a rule that ain't worth breakin'
Well I'm givin' up on love 'cause love's given up on me
Now I don't hate the one who left, you can't hate someone who's dead
He's out there holding on to someone, I'm holding up my smoking gun
I'll find somewhere to lay my blame the day she changes her last name
Well I'm givin' up on love 'cause love's given up on me
Oh baby, I'm getting ready
I'm getting ready to let you go
My hands are shaking,
my heart's unsteady
Oh, how I once loved you so
I know all the magic's gone
Wish I had a magic wand
I would put a spell on you
You would sing it as I do
Oh, I'm getting ready to let you go
Oh, I'm getting ready to let you go
Oh baby, you're my drug
I was just your cigarette
I was nothing you could be proud of
I have lost my self respect
Self respect, self respect
I have lost my self respect
Oh, I'm getting ready to let you go
Oh, I'm getting ready to let you go
Oh baby baby, I got no traction
I've been waiting and waiting for your reaction
Sure I tried a new direction
I'm going to give myself a resurrection
I'm getting ready, I'm getting ready,
I'm getting ready to let you go
I'm getting ready, I'm getting ready,
The warden threw a party in the county jail
The prison band was there and they began to wail
The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing
You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing
Let's rock
Everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone
Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone
The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang
The whole rhythm section was a purple gang
Let's rock
Everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Number 47 said to number 3
"You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see
I sure would be delighted with your company
Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me"
Let's rock
Everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock, Rock, Rock
Sad Sack was sittin' on a block of stone
Way over in the corner weepin' all alone
The warden said, "Hey, buddy, don't you be no square
If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair"
Let's rock
Everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Shifty Henry said to Bugs, "For Heaven's sake
No one's lookin', now's the chance to make a break"
Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said, "Nix nix
I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks"
Let's rock
Everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock, dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock, dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock, dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Daddy always said he was wrong for me
And in the end he'd only bring me misery
I tried and tried to turn away
But something ?bout him makes me stay
The only man who?s ever knocked me to my knees
The only man who?s ever set my spirit free
He was born and raised in Lynchburg, Tennessee
His daddy owns a big distillery
He's an old time whiskey drinker
When I'm with him I get meaner
And momma says he?s ruined my destiny
He sure has made a women out of me
I fell in love with Jack Daniels again
He?s the best kind of lover that there is
I can have him when I please
He always satisfies my needs
He takes me back no matter where I've been
Yeah, I fell in love with Jack Daniels again
I fell in love with Jack Daniels again
He?s the best kind of lover that there is
I can have him when I please
He always satisfies my needs
He takes me back no matter where I've been
Yeah, I fell in love with Jack Daniels again
Jack Daniels if you please
Knock me to my knees
You're the only friend there has ever been
That didn't do me wrong
Jack Daniels if you please
Knock me to my knees
You can kill this pain, it?s drivin? me insane
You know it's so complicated, first you love then you hate it
Someone's laughin', someone's cryin', someone livin', someone's dyin'
Somebody always loses an' we still play the game
An' the fire will always burn you an' we still light the flame
Let's make it up, baby 'cause I ain't gonna fight
If you're the death of me, darlin', I wanna die
You always say that you love me an' there is no one above me
Never givin', always takin', never bendin', always breakin'
I know you ain't a liar but you don't tell the truth
An' you're walkin' on a wire wearin' someone else's shoes
If you're handin' out misery, I'll be the first in line
If you're the death of me, darlin', I wanna die
Tear it up, break it down
Put my heart on your sleeve an' wear it all over town
I know you're a player but you don't play by the rules
An' I'm just another in a long line of fools
Yeah, it's so complicated, I love then I hate it
I'm laughin', you're cryin', you're livin', I'm dyin'
Somebody always loses an' we still play the game
Yeah, the fire will always burn you an' we still light the flame
Let's make it up, baby 'cause I ain't gonna fight
If you're the death of me, darlin', I wanna die
Yeah, tear it up, break it down
Put my heart on your sleeve an' wear it all over town
I know you're a player but you don't play by the rules
An' I'm just another in a long line of fools
Yeah, it's so complicated, I love then I hate it
I'm laughin', you're cryin', I'm livin', you're dyin'
I know you ain't a liar but you don't tell the truth
Hey, you're walkin' on a wire wearin' someone else's shoes
You're handin' out misery, I'll be the first in line
If you're the death of me, darlin', I wanna die
I wanna die
Tear it up, tear it up
I can't be bothered to miss you anymore
Month twelve, day thirty-one and hour twenty-four
I used to think if missed hard enough you'd come back for sure
I can't be bothered now to miss you anymore
It's not like I don't have tears to cry
Such memories so little time
This box of photographs to go through one by one
There's just so much work to get done
I can't be bothered to miss you anymore
Month twelve, day thirty-one and hour twenty-four
I used to think if missed hard enough you'd come back for sure
I can't be bothered now to miss you anymore
When you skipped town I was such a mess
So I found some things to do instead
Trick is to find something to occupy your mind
Now I spend most days chasin' mine
And I can't be bothered to miss you anymore
Month twelve, day thirty-one and hour twenty-four
I used to think if missed hard enough you'd come back for sure
I can't be bothered now to miss you, I'm cuddling up to kiss you
I know they say you can't go
Home again I just had to come
Back one last time ma'am I know
You don't know me from Adam but
These hand prints on the front
Steps are mine
Up those stairs in that little
Back bedroom is where I did my
Homework and I learned to play
Guitar now I bet you didn't know
Under that live oak my favorite
Dog is buried in the yard
I thought if I could touch this
Place or feel it this brokenness
Inside me might start healing out
Here it's like I'm someone else I
Thought that maybe I could find
Myself if I could just come in I
Swear I'll leave won't take
Nothin' but a memory from the
House that built me
Mama cut out pictures of houses
For years from Better Homes and
Garden magazine plans were drawn
And concrete poured nail by nail
And board by board daddy gave life
To mama's dream
I thought if I could touch this
Place or feel it this brokenness
Inside me might start healing out
Here it's like I'm someone else I
Thought that maybe I could find
Myself if I could just come in I
Swear I'll leave won't take nothin'
But a memory from the house that
Built me
You leave home you move on and you
Do the best you can I got lost in
This old world and forgot who I am
I thought if I could touch this
Place or feel it this brokenness
Inside me might start healing out
Here it's like I'm someone else I
Thought that maybe I could find
Myself if I could walk around I
Swear I'll leave won't take nothin'
But a memory from the house that
I've been missing all the vital signs
That I needed for love to work
Engine of a heart that would not start
had to jump it so much, it hurt
Everytime I looked under the hood
It was always a mystery
You pulled up in a rescue truck and
Showed up with a master key
And revved it up for me
[Chorus]
My Pulse was nearly gone
I was almost in need of a defibrilator
I didn't know what went wrong
I had to shake it off but i got stuck
Oh my God, you turned all my loose strings
You're the love innovator that brings
All the right tools, you know what to do
Fine tune
Fine tune
You started tweaking on a little knob
That I didn't even know was there
Kissing on my wrist all the way to my neck
Running your fingers through my hair
I felt like I was dizzy and I didn't think I could drive
You flipped a switch, hotwired my gears
Yeah you put me in line
And now I'm running right
[Chorus]
My Pulse was nearly gone
I was almost in need of a defibrilator
I didn't know what went wrong
I had to shake it off but i got stuck
Oh my God, you turned all my loose strings
You're the love innovator that brings
All the right tools, you know what to do
Fine tune
Fine tune
[Chorus]
My Pulse was nearly gone
I was almost in need of a defibrilator
I didn't know what went wrong
I had to shake it off but i got stuck
Oh my God, you turned all my loose strings
You're the love innovator that brings
All the right tools, you know what to do
Fine tune
you've got the bullets
i've got the gun.
i've got a hankering for getting into something
i hit the bottle, you hit the gas,
i heard your 65 can really haul some ass.
i'm feeling frisky, your feeling good
i guess the whiskey is doing what it should
i got the cigarettes
you've got a lighter
and when the sun goes down we'll start a little fire
ain't no use in trying to slow me down
'cause you're running with the fastest girl in town
ain't you baby?
i like 'em crazy.
my reputation follows me around
just makes me want to give them more to talk about
let's go to town for a little while
i'll be wearing nothing but a tattoo and a smile
ain't no use in trying to slow me down
'cause you're running with the fastest girl in town
ain't you baby?
you're kinda crazy.
come on!
i see the blue lights, we better run.
throw out the bottle and i'll hide the gun
if he pulls us over i'll turn on the charm
you'll be in the slammer and i'll be on his arm.
ain't no use in trying to slow me down
'cause you're running with the fastest girl in town
ain't you baby?
well i told you i was crazy.
no i ain't no body's baby.
hey!
he's got the bullets
he's got a gun
They say life is so much sweeter
Through the telephoto lens of fame
Around here you get just as much attention
Cheerin' at the high school football game
I dreamed of going to Nashville
Put my money down and placed my bet
But I just got the first buck of the season
I made the front page of the Turnertown Gazette
Every last one, route one, rural heart's
Got a story to tell
Every grandma, in-law, ex-girlfriend
Maybe knows it just a little too well
Whether you're late for church
Or you're stuck in jail
Hey, word's gonna get around
Everybody dies famous in a small town
Tyler and Casey broke up
It ended pretty quietly
And we heard he was caught red-handed with her mama
So that's just what they let us all believe
Every last one, route one, rural heart's
Got a story to tell
Every grandma, in-law, ex-girlfriend
Maybe knows it just a little too well
Whether you're late for church
Or you're stuck in jail
Hey, word's gonna get around
Everybody dies famous in a small town
Well, baby who needs their faces in a magazine?
Me and you, we've been stars in this town since we were seventeen
Let's go on down to the quick stop
Wear your yellow shades and I'll put on my tight jeans
And we'll just spend the weekend burnin' rubber
And we'll let 'em point and stare in disbelief
'Cause every last one, route one, rural heart's
Got a story to tell
Every grandma, in-law, ex-girlfriend
Maybe knows it just a little too well
Whether you're late for church
Or you're stuck in jail
Hey, word's gonna get around
Everybody dies famous in a small town
Everybody dies famous in a small town
[miranda]
cheap red wine straight out of a coffee cup
one more down, drink you off my mind
lord knows i've tried a thousand times to give you up
but its closing time and we both know why
[chorus]
i'm just too selfish i guess
i know you're tired and restless
it's no surprise we've come undone
but i can't not love you just because
you say it's better in the long run
[blake shelton]
we've been driving down this highway
now we're out of gas, too far outta town
oh here we are all tangled up and sideways
you're all broken down, yeah i'm breaking down
i'm just too selfish i guess
i know you're tired and restless
it's no surprise we've come undone
but i can't not love you just because
you say it's better in the long run
[blake]
oh maybe somewhere a little down the line
i'll get a little better leaving us behind
maybe someday, oh i'll be fine.
[miranda]
oh and you'll move on and i will too
but i still don't see gettin over you
on over
i'm just too selfish i guess
i know you're tired and restless
it's no surprise we've come undone (ohh no)
but i can't not love you just because
you say it's better in the long run
in the long run
oh in the long run
in the long run
