I know it's gonna take some time
For you to trust this love of mine
I know he broke your heart in two
You've been betrayed and ... your afraid
That I will do the same to you
But you'll be safe here in my arms ... forever and a day
Though you don't believe me now ... I'll never walk away
You ... You know that I'll be there ... when tomorrow comes
( Your the only one )
I know you've heard this all before
( Your the only one )
Your the one that I adore
( Your the only one )
You make me shine just like the sun
( Your the only one )
You bring this heart of mine undone
( Your the only one )
For evry Lie you've ever heard
You can believe my every word... yes you can
Whatever heaven holds in store
Through good and bad ... I'll be your man
Stand beside you through it all
But you'll be safe here in my arms ... forever and a day
Though you don't believe me now ... I'll never walk away
And you ... you know that I'll be there ... when tomorrow comes
( Your the only one )
I know you've heard this all before
( Your the only one )
Your the one that I adore
( Your the only one )
You make me shine just like the sun
( Your the only one )
You bring this heart of mine undone
( Your the only one )
I know you've heard this all before
( Your the only one )
But your the one that I adore
( Your the only one )
You make me shine just like the sun
( Your the only one )
You bring this heart of mine undone
( Your the only one )
( Your the only one )
Make me shine just like the sun ... yes you do
The first time I looked in your eyes, I knew
That I would do anything for you
The first time you touched my face, I felt
What I've never felt with anyone else
I want to give back what you've givin' to me
I wanna witness all of your dreams
Now that you've shown me who I really am
I wanna be more then just your man
I wanna be the wind that fills your sails
And be the hand that lifts your veil
And be the moon that moves your tide
The sun coming up in your eyes
Be the wheels that never rust
And be the spark that lights you up
All that you've been dreaming of
And more, so much more
I wanna be your everything
When you wake up, I'll be the first thing you see
And when it gets dark you can reach out for me
I'll cherish your words and I'll finish your thoughts
And I'll be your compass baby, when you get lost
I wanna be the wind that fills your sails
And be the hand that lifts your veil
And be the moon that moves your tide
The sun coming up in your eyes
Be the wheels that never rust
And be the spark that lights you up
All that you've been dreaming of
And more, so much more
I wanna be your everything
I'll be the wheels that never rust
Be the spark that lights you up
All that you've been dreaming of
And more, so much more
I wanna be your everything
I wanna be your everything
It's just a piece of paper, it says, "In God We Trust"
A little sure felt good
But a lot was not enough
And everybody loved me when I was on a roll
And I thought I had everything
When I held the gold
But you're not my god
And you're not my friend
You're not the one that I will walk with in the end
You're not the truth
You're a temporary shot
You ruin people's lives and you don't give a second thought
You're not my god
Little white lies on a mirror
Cut neatly in a roll
Medicine that kept me from lookin' in my soul
I thought you were the answer
To all of my despair
And you almost had me six feet down
But I'm still breathin' air
'Cause you're not my god
And you're not my friend
You're not the one that I will walk with in the end
You're not the truth
You're a temporary shot
You ruin people's lives and you don't give a second thought
You're not my god
From the cradle to the grave
Temptations all around
But no matter how good the fix
It's gonna take you down
Now some call it a weakness
Some call it a sin
But it's all the same behind each game
I see your evil grin
But you're not my god
And you're not my friend
You're not the one that I will walk with in the end
You're not the truth
You're a temporary shot
You ruin people's lives and you don't give a second thought
Whoa, you're not my god
And you're not my friend
You're not the one that I will walk with in the end
You're not the truth
You're a temporary shot
You ruin people's lives and you don't give a second thought
You're not my god
You're not my god
Oh oh oh you're not my god
You're not my god
Mmmmm not my god
Not my god
You're not, you're not, you're not my god
We all drink to forget
Some of us more than most
When reality gets too real
And the fires of hell to close
But I'm here to let you know that
That you can make it through
If you believe that someone is watchin' over you
And call it an angel
Call it a muse
And call it karma that you've got comin' to you
What's the difference
What's in name
What matters most is never ever losin' faith
'Cause it's gonna be alright
You're not alone tonight
We all have our days
When nothing goes as planned
Not a soul in the world
Seems to understand
And for someone to talk to
You'd give anything
Well go on and cry out loud
'Cause someone's listenin'
Yeah, and call it an angel
Call it a muse
And call it karma that you've got comin' to you
What's the difference
What's in name
What matters most is never ever losin' faith
'Cause it's gonna be alright
You're not alone tonight
Keep your faith alive
You're not the only one
Yeah, and call it an angel
Call it a muse
Call it karma that you've got comin' to you
What's the difference
What's in name
What matters most is never ever losin' faith
Yeah, you're gonna be alright
You're not alone tonight
I woke up early this morning around 4 a.m.
With the moon shining bright as headlights on the interstate
I pulled the covers over my head and tried to catch some sleep
But thoughts of us kept keeping me awake
Ever since you found yourself in someone else's arms
I've been tryin' my best to get along
But that's okay
There's nothing left to say, but
Take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories, I don't need 'em
Take your space and take your reasons
But you'll think of me
And take your cat and leave my sweater
'Cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact I'll feel a whole lot better
But you'll think of me, you'll think of me
I went out driving trying to clear my head
I tried to sweep out all the ruins that my emotions left
I guess I'm feeling just a little tired of this
And all the baggage that seems to still exist
It seems the only blessing I have left to my name
Is not knowing what we could have been
What we should have been
Take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories, I don't need 'em
Take your space and take your reasons
But you'll think of me
And take your cat and leave my sweater
'Cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact I'll feel a whole lot better
But you'll think of me
Someday I'm gonna run across your mind
But don't worry, I'll be fine
I'm gonna be alright
While you're sleeping with your pride
Wishing I could hold you tight
I'll be over you
And on with my life
So take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories, I don't need 'em
And take your cat and leave my sweater
'Cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact I'll feel a whole lot better
But you'll think of me
So take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories, I don't need 'em
Take your space and all your reasons
But you'll think of me
And take your cat and leave my sweater
'Cause we got nothing left to weather
In fact I'll feel a whole lot better
But you'll think of me, you'll think of me, yeah
And you're gonna think of me, mmm yeah
Ooo someday baby, someday
Ooo, mmm, mmm, oh
Think of me, mmm
I remember as a kid wishin' I was seventeen
No more school, my own car
Back then it was all a dream
Then came the day to say goodbye
To the room that was once mine
One last look at my old world then
I closed the door behind, to
Yesterday, everything was easy
Livin' life like there was no tomorrow
Now everyday memories still remind me
How good things used to be yesterday
Well thirty-five soon rolled around
And everything had changed
I could count friends on one hand and
The good times weren't the same
But finally I cam to understand why people say
Don't spend all your childhood wishin'
The best years away
Yesterday, everything was easy
Livin' life like there was no tomorrow
Now everyday memories still remind me
How good things used to be yesterday
Now I'm longin' for the freedom
That I let slip away I took it all for granted
Now it's gone like yesterday
Yesterday, everything was easy
Livin' life like there was no tomorrow
Now everyday memories still remind me
How good things used to be, yesterday
When everything was easy
Livin' life like there was no tomorrow
Now everyday memories still remind me
How good things used to be yesterday
Everybody says that when it comes to friends
The truest ones are counted on one hand
But take a look around before you hit the ground
The only one you'll see will be this man
Yeah, I'll catch you when you fall
Cause I'm the one who loves you
You'll never wonder if I care, I'll always be there
Standing there in losing ground
I'm your best friend now and I won't let you down
No, oh
Yes, I've been a fool but I've learned what not to do
Don't take for granted those who keep their faith in you
And if you lose your way on some rainy day
Just look above and I will be the sunshine breaking through
Yeah, I'll catch you when you fall
Cause I'm the one who loves you
You'll never wonder if I care, I'll always be there
Standing there in losing ground
I'm your best friend now and I won't let you down
And every step along the highway of your life
I'll be the man standing beside you
Believe me that I will
Don't forget you came and you saved me
You saved my life
Yeah, I'll catch you when you fall
Cause I'm the one who loves you
You'll never wonder if I care, I'll always be there
Standing there in losing ground
Cause I'm your best friend now
And I won't let you, I will not let you
I just kissed you goodbye a half an hour ago
I know you're driving to the airport but
I just gotta pick up the phone and hear you one more time
Saying my name I must be going outta my mind
Why's it feel so long since you been gone
Why's it feel so long
Time keps dragging on 'til you get back home
Why's it feel so long baby now
I've never loved anyone like I love you
So when you're not around I must confess
I lose myself and I don't know who or where I am
I might be crazy, crazy 'bout being your man.
Why's it feel so long since you been gone
Why's it feel so long
Time keps dragging on 'til you get back home
Why's it feel so long
When I finally see you I know it'll be like you never left at all
But that's small consolation, tonight as I'm waitin'
And prayin' that maybe you'll call
Call me, call me baby
Tell me now
Why's it feel so long since you been gone
Why's it feel so long
Time keps dragging on 'til you get back home
Why's it feel so long whoaa
Why's it feel so long since you been gone
Why's it feel so long
Time just crawls along 'til you get back home
Why's it feel so long
I look at my watch, stare at the clock, and they don't move
I don't either, I'm just frozen on the couch
Oh the seconds feel like hours, an hour's like a day
It's a twilight zone in this home when you go away
I got no money in my pockets
I got a hole in my jeans
I had a job and I lost it
But it won't get to me
'Cause I'm ridin' with my baby
and it's a brand new day
We're on the wheels of an angel
Flyin' away
And the sun is shinin'
This road keeps windin'
Through the prettiest country
From Georgia to Tennessee
And I got the one I love beside me
My troubles behind me
I'm alive and I'm free
Who wouldn't wanna be me
Now she's strummin' on my six-string
Across her pretty knees
She's stompin' out a rhythm
And singin' to me the sweetest song
The sun is shinin'
And this road keeps windin'
Through the prettiest country
From Georgia to Tennessee
And I got the one I love beside me
My troubles behind me
I'm alive and I'm free
Who wouldn't wanna be me
The sun is shinin'
And this road's still windin'
Through the prettiest country
From Georgia to Tennessee
And I got the one I love beside me
My troubles behind me
I'm alive and I'm free
Who wouldn't wanna be me
I got no money in my pockets
I got a hole in my jeans
We're on the wheels of an angel
And I'm free
She's strummin' on my six-string
It's across her pretty knees
She's stompin' out a rhythm
Gonna kick off my shoes
And run in bare feet
Where the grass and the dirt and the gravel all meet
Goin' back to the well gonna visit old friends
And feed my soul where the blacktop ends
I'm lookin' down the barrel of Friday night
Ridin' on a river of freeway lights
Goodbye city I'm country bound
'Til Monday rolls around
Gonna kick off my shoes
And run in bare feet
Where the grass and the dirt and the gravel all meet
Goin' back to the well gonna visit old friends
And feed my soul where the blacktop ends
Workin' in the grind is an uphill road
Punchin' that clock and carryin' that load
I bust it all week and then I'm free
The weekend belongs to me
Gonna kick off my shoes
And run in bare feet
Where the grass and the dirt and the gravel all meet
Goin' back to the well gonna visit old friends
And feed my soul where the blacktop ends
Give me some fresh air give me that farm
Give me some time with you in my arms
Far away from the hustle and the pressure and the noise
Gonna kick off my shoes
And run in bare feet
Where the grass and the dirt and the gravel all meet
Goin' back to the well gonna visit old friends
And feed my soul, you betcha
Gonna kick off my shoes
And run in bare feet
Where the grass and the dirt and the gravel all meet
Goin' back to the well gonna visit old friends
And feed my soul where the blacktop ends
Where the blacktop ends
Where the blacktop ends
Runnin' from the rate race
Just as fast as I can
Take off my tie so I can breathe
Me, I'm going where the fresh air's blowin'
Take a little walk in the country with me
Walk in the country with me
Watch the sun sinkin' down on the trees
It's gonna do us some good
To get down in the woods
Take a little walk in the country with me
I'm so sick of all them TV shows
I need some dirt road under my feet
C'mon let's point our toes where the red fern grows
Take a little walk in the country with me
Come on now
Walkin' the country
Oh bless my soul
Just gimme that country road
Come on now
Take a little walk in the country with me
Come on now baby
And so I wrote this song for you
I think I know just what you're going through
Did you believe you'd never change
Nothing ever stays the same
I know it's hard holding on
Even harder trying to let it go
And so you're frozen like a stone
But you are not alone
Every step I take
I get a little less afraid
Of giving into love
Love, let it out
Believe me when I say
It gets better every day
Once you get used to the pain
What you hide inside I see
There's a scar that's always gonna be
There's a past in everyone
You can't undo, you can't outrun
Every step I take
I get a little less afraid
Of giving into love
Love, let it out
Believe me when I say
It gets better every day
Once you get used to the pain
Every step I take
I get a little less afraid
Of giving into love
Love, let it out
Believe me when I say
It gets better every day
Once you get used to the pain
Sounds real good now
If I could be anywhere with anyone
You know exactly where'd I'd be
Under the covers waiting for the sun to rise
Your head on the pillow next to me
Your feet propped up on that kitchen chair
Morning papers scattered all around you
Coffee brewing on the cast iron stove
And the pleasure of just knowing that your mine
Well, I love the way you look
Love the way you feel
And the way you roll your eyes
At the kisses that I steal
Love the way you stare
When you're staring right at me
I just love your company
Oh, yes, I do
Arm in arm on some Spring sidewalk day
Laughing just because it feels so right
Wrapped up under the blankets all cozy by the fire
As long as you're here close enough to touch
Well, I love the way you look
Love the way you feel
And the way you roll your eyes
At the kisses that I steal
Love the way you stare
When you're staring right at me
I just love your company
Oh, yes, I do
Well, I love the way you look
Love the way you smell
And I love your pretty eyes
And the lies they never tell
Love the way you stare
When you're staring right at me
I just love your company
Oh, yes, I do
Alone in this house again tonight
I got the TV on, the sound turned down and a bottle of wine
There's pictures of you and I on the walls around me
The way that it was and could have been surrounds me
I'll never get over you walkin' away
I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show
And I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-control
But I'm just drunk enough to let go of my pain
To hell with my pride, let it fall like rain
From my eyes, tonight I wanna cry
Would it help if I turned a sad song on?
"All By Myself" would sure hit me hard now that you're gone
Or maybe unfold some old yellow lost love letters
It's gonna hurt bad before it gets better
But I'll never get over you by hidin' this way
'Cause I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show
And I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-control
But I'm just drunk enough to let go of my pain
To hell with my pride, let it fall like rain
From my eyes, tonight I wanna cry
Well I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show
And I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-control
But I'm just drunk enough to let go of my pain
To hell with this pride, let it fall like rain
Another long summer's come and gone
I don't know why it always ends this way
The boardwalk's quiet and the carnival rides
Are as empty as my broken heart tonight
But I close my eyes and one more time
We're spinnin' around and you're holdin' on tightly
The words came out, I kissed your mouth
No Fourth of July has ever burned so brightly
You had to go I understand
But you promised you'd be back again
And so I wander around this town
'Til summer comes around
I got a job workin' at the old park pier
And every summer now for five long years
I grease the gears, fix the lights, tighten bolts, and straighten the tracks
And I count the days 'til you just might come back
And then I close my eyes and one more time
We're spinnin' around and you're holdin' on tightly
The words came out, I kissed your mouth
No Fourth of July has ever burned so brightly
You had to go I understand
But you swore that you'd be back again
And so I'm frozen in this town
'Til summer comes around
And it comes around
Oh and I close my eyes and you and I
Are stuck on the Ferris wheel ridin' with the motion
And hand in hand we cried and laughed
Knowin' that love belonged to us, girl, if only for a moment
"Baby I'll be back again", you whispered in my ear
But now the winter wind is the only sound
And everythin' is closin' down
'Til summer comes around
'Til summer comes around
'Til it comes around and it comes around
And I miss you baby
And I miss you baby
And you're comin' back around
My grandma was a wise old soul
Took me by the hand not long ago
Said, "Son, what's your hurry, boy slow it down
Taste the wild honey, listen to the sound
Of the wind that's blowin' through the trees
Rivers flowin' to the sea
Yeah they're all headin' home just like you and me
Life's for livin' child, can't you see?"
These are the days we will remember
These are the times that won't come again
The highest of flames become an ember
And you gotta live 'em while you can
These are the days we will remember
These are the days we will remember
These are the days we will remember
These are the days we will remember
So take 'em by the hand, they're yours and mine
Take 'em by the hand and live your life
Take 'em by the hand don't let 'em all fly by
C'mon, C'mon now
Ooo days go by
Yeah, just like a hand out the window wavin' in the wind as the cars go by
I know a place where love flows like water
You sit on the bank and pass the time away
So take my hand I want to show you something
My very own lover's hideaway
And I will take you down the river
Where we'll will be lovin' in the shade of the old willow tree
I'll take you down to the river
Where you and I can just be you and me
I see us know just lyin' underneath the heavens
Sippin' on wine with nothing much to do
Just you in my arms when the sun is settin'
Then makin' sweet love in the night of Mr. Moon
And I will take you down the river
Where we'll will be lovin' in the shade of the old willow tree
I'll take you down to the river
Where you and I can just be you and me
You know I'll love you anyway
All I will feel the same until the sun don't shine
All I want to do is stay
'Cause you're a once in every lifetime
And I will take you down the river
Where we'll will be lovin' in the shade of the old willow tree
I'll take you down to the river
Where you and I can just be you and me
And I will take you down the river
Where we'll will be lovin' in the shade of the old willow tree
I'll take you down to the river
You've got your own way of looking at it baby
I guess that proves that I got mine
Seems like our hearts are set on automatic
We say the first thing that comes to mind
It's just who we are baby, we've come too far to start over now
I know what you're thinkin' ; I'm not always easy to be around
But I do love you
You keep me believin' that you love me too
And I know it's true
This love drives us crazy but nobody's walkin' away
So, I guess we'll to do it the hard way
If I had a genie in a bottle
Three wishes I could wish for us
I wish we'd live forever and get along together
Turn these tempers into trust
Do it the hard way
It's just who we are baby, we've come to far to start over now
Believe me tonight love's the one thing in life we can't live without
Do it the hard way
Lately I've been noticing
I say the same things he used to say
And I even find myself
Acting the very same way
I tap my fingers on the table to the rhythm in my soul
And I jingle the car keys when I'm ready to go
And when I look in the mirror he's right there in my eyes
Starin' back at me and I realize
The older I get the more I can see
How much he loved my mother and my brother and me
And he did the best that he could
And I only hope when I have my own family
That everyday I see
A little more of my father in me
There were times I thought he was bein'
Just a little bit hard on me
But now I understand he was makin' me
Become the man he knew that I could be
In everything he ever did he always did with love
And I'm proud today to say I'm his son
When somebody says I hope I get to meet your dad
I just smile and say you already have
The older I get the more I can see
How much he loved my mother and my brother and me
And he did the best that he could
And I only hope when I have my own family
That everyday I see
A little more of my father in me
He's in my eyes my heart, my soul
My hands, my pride and when I feel alone
And I think I can't go on I hear him sayin' "Son you'll be alright
Everything is gonna be alright" Yes it is
The older I get the more I can see
That he loved my mother and my brother and me
And he did the best that he could
And I only hope when I have my own family
That everyday I see, oh I hope I see
I hope everyday I see a little more of my father in me
A little more of my father in me
I hope everyday I see in me
In me, in me
I hope everyday I see
It was about five til' five on Friday
We were all getting ready to go
And the boss man started screaming
And his veins began to show
He said "You and you come with me
'Cause you're gonna have to stay"
My heart was thumping I was jumping
I had to get away
Some days you gotta dance
Live it up when you get the chance
When the world doesn't make no sense
And you're feeling just a little too tense
Gotta loosen up those chains and dance
Well I was talking with my baby
Over a small glass of tea
When she asked a loaded question
She said "How do you feel about me?"
My mind was racin' I was pacin'
But the words just wouldn't come
And there was only one thing left to do
I feel it coming on
Some days you gotta dance
You gotta loosen up those chains and dance
the rains comin down hard tonight,
i pull the car over and now im sittin alone on the road side
i tilt the mirror down and i say to me,
why do you always think the answers gotta be,
to just leave?
im makin the same mistake,
i'm hopin it's not too late,
because i...
(chorus)
i don't know where i'd be without you now,
i guess i get scared and thats why i act like,
such a fool,
cause your the one thing i cant lose,
i feel the tears comin' and i wanna cry,
i think of us baby, and all the love inside comes shinin' through,
and it always leads me right on back to you
i never felt, and i never knew,
someone who could get inside my soul the way you do,
(yes you do) yea you got me in the palm of your hands,
its beautiful and terrifying cant you see,
for someone like me,
but instead of runnin i know,
i swear i should hold you closer,
because i...
(chorus)
i don't know where i'd be without you now,
i guess i get scared and thats why i act like,
such a fool,
cause your the one thing i cant lose
i feel the tears comin' and i wanna cry,
i think of us baby, and all the love inside comes shinin' through,
and it always leads me right on back to you
cause nobody's ever loved me, like you
and i was born to be your man, forever.
oh, oh, forever baby.
yeaah, i feel the tears comin and i wanna cry,
i turn the car around and put it in drive,
and i know what to do,
gonna come on back, come on back to you.
yea, yea, ohh, ohh baby,
gonna come on back,
come on back to you,
cause i cant live without you,
i can't breathe without you,
Oooh, yeah
Ooooh, waaaah
Well, there ain't no strangers
When you're swinging a hammer side by side
Oh, had a little setback
Ain't nothing gonna stop this Southern pride
No, no
So let's all pull together now boys
Once again this town's gonna make some noise
We'll be square dancing, toe tapping
We'll be clicking out heels to Cotton Eye Joe
The music laughter gonna raise the rafters
A little boot sliding across the floor
Do a little hand holding, hay rolling
Strolling with your honey by your side
Dixie cups and paper plates
Fiddle tunes and amazing grace
Hallelujah, raise the barn tonight
Sing along now, babe
Well, the Lord he was willing but the creek did rise up
Lord have mercy the bossman don't seem to care
So it's up to us to gather round, gather round
The stars are shining a little brighter than before
It's gonna come alive when we swing open the door
We'll be square dancing, toe tapping
We'll be clicking out heels to Cotton Eye Joe
The music laughter gonna raise the rafters
A little boot sliding across the floor
Do a little hand holding, hay rolling
Strolling with your honey by your side
Dixie cups and paper plates
Fiddle tunes and amazing grace
Hallelujah, raise the barn tonight
Yes, y'all (Cotton Eye Joe)
So heeve ho, let's pull together now boys
Once again this town's gonna make some noise
Everybody make some noise
We'll be square dancing, toe tapping
We'll be clicking out heels to Cotton Eye Joe
The music laughter gonna raise the rafters
A little boot sliding across the floor
Do a little hand holding, hay rolling
Strolling with your honey by your side
Dixie cups and paper plates
Fiddle tunes and amazing grace
Well here you come again and you’re lookin’ so fine
You don’t notice me but it’s alright
I’m just a guy who wishes that I could be your man someday
Yeah a picture paints a thousand words it’s true
But it’s still not enough for how I feel about you
I wanna put you in a melody, I gotta set you to a groove
I wanna put you in my car and drive
And turn you up loud, roll down all the windows and shout it out
I love this girl oh
If I could press play, repeat how happy I’d be
Wherever I’d go I’d have you there with me
You’d be right where you belong
I wanna put you in a song, oh oh oh
Well I’d sing about your smile and your pretty blue eyes
The way your hair shimmers in the sunlight
It’d be so easy I’d just write it from my heart
‘Cause I gotta tell the world what you mean to me
Wrap you up in a melody so you’ll be
Stuck in my head all day
‘Cause you’re already there anyway, yes you are
I wanna put you in my car and drive
And turn you up loud, roll down all the windows and shout it out
I love this girl
If I could press play, repeat how happy I’d be
Wherever I’d go I’d have you there with me
You’d be right where you belong
I wanna put you in a song
And if I get it right everybody’d be singing along yeah
And when they see you on the street they’ll say
Hey ain’t you the girl in that song
I wanna put you in my car and drive
And turn you up loud, roll down all the windows and shout it out
I’m in love with this girl
Yeah if I could press play, rewind a couple million times
Imagine for a moment that you’re all mine
Every night I’d drive you home
If I could put you in a
Let me put you in a song
Let me put you in a song
Well I ain't proud of what I'm about to do
All alone up here with you
With the picture of your man
Face down upon the night stand, so he can't see
And I don't like running all the red lights here
Every time the coast is clear
Any time you need my lovin'
You know I'll come running, faithfully
Cause he stays so busy with his money
And you, you get so lonely when he's gone
And me, I'm just your temporary lover
'Til your blues are gone
I'm the man of the house whenever he ain't home
Now the statues on the side of that big gate
They're laughing as I drive away
And I can't keep from thinking
Are they laughing at your old man or at me
And the only part that I don't like to play
Is the part when I get up and go away
I find it mighty hard
Just keeping this old heart tucked away
Cause he stays...
I'm the man of the house
I can't sleep, ain't no sleep a' comin' I'm just lying here thinkin' bout you
I'm in deep, fallin' deep into the picture
In my mind of everything we're gonna do
Over at the lake and down by the river you can feel it start to rise
Wanna jump in my car go wherever you are cause I need you by my side
It's gonna be a long hot summer, we should be together
With your feet up on the dashboard now
Singin' along with the radio, it's such a beautiful sound
When you say my name in the middle of the day I swear I see the stars come out
When you hold my hand in the back of my mind
Just waiting on the sun to go down, the sun to go down
I wanna see your brown skin shimmer in the sun for the first time
I try to be the one who knows just what to do to you to get me that smile
One chance of meeting, you walking by me on the street and I said "hi"
And that was the beginning of my heart spinnin' like these wheels in my head tonight
It's gonna be a long hot summer, we should together
With your feet up on the dashboard now
Singin' along with the radio, it's such a beautiful sound
When you say my name in the middle of the day I swear I see the stars come out
When you hold my hand in the back of my mind
Just waiting on the sun to go down, the sun to go down
The only place that I wanna be is where you are
Cause any more than a heartbeat away is just too far, oh
It's gonna be a long hot summer, we should be together
All I really want is more than this moment right now
Cause when you say my name in the middle of the day I swear I see the stars come out
And when you hold my hand and I look into your eyes
I swear it looks like you're waiting on the sun to go down, the sun to go down
Oh, I swear it looks like you're waiting on the sun to go down, waiting on the sun to go down
Oh, I'm lovin' thinking bout you
When I wake up in the mornin' light
I pull on my jeans and I feel all right
I pull my blue jeans on, I pull my old blue jeans on
I pull my blue jeans on, I pull my old blue jeans on
It's the weekend, and I know that you're free
So pull on your jeans and come on out with me
Oh 'cause I need to have you near me,
I need to feel you close to me
I need to have you near me, I need to feel you close to me
You and me, we'll go motorbike ridin' in the sun
And the wind and the rain
I got money in my pocket, I got a tiger in my tank
And I'm king of the road again
I'll meet ya in the usual place
You don't need a thing except your pretty face, alright
I pull my blue jeans on, I pull my old blue jeans on
I pull my blue jeans on, I pull my old blue jeans on
Aw, here we go mama
You and me, we'll go motorbike ridin' in the sun
And the wind and the rain
I got money in my pocket, I got a tiger in my tank
And I'm king of the road again
When I wake up in the mornin' light
I pull on my jeans and I feel all right
Hey I pull my blue jeans on, I pull my old blue jeans on
I pull my blue jeans on, I pull my old blue jeans on
I pull my blue jeans on, I pull my old blue jeans on
I used to cry out in the middle of the night
Baby hold me tight
But there was nobody beside me
When I opened my eyes
Now I've turned a corner on those days and nights
And something inside me is changing
I think I might be starting over
And I don't wanna run
Oh no 'cause you might be the one, baby
CHORUS
If ever I could love
I think it could be with you
If ever I thought I'd
Find somebody so true
I wonder if you feel
The same way that I do
If ever I could love
I think it could be with you
You know I can't read your mind my love
But it seems to me
That your heart and mine tonight
Are defying gravity
There's something so familiar and still so unknown
But the closer that we get
I swear it feels like coming home
And I'm ready to be brave
Oh yeah then you look at me and say, baby
CHORUS
If ever I could love
I think it could be with you
If ever I thought I'd
Find somebody so true
I wonder if you feel
The same way that I do
If ever I could love
I think it could be with you
If ever I could love x4
CHORUS
If ever I could love
I think it could be with you
If ever I thought I'd
Find somebody so true
I wonder if you feel
The same way that I do
If ever I could love
I think it could be with you
If ever I could love x4
I was scared to love again
Feel the pain that came when she walked out of my life
I got hurt so bad I swore I'd never
Let another get inside this heart of mine
But you touched my hand and every plan that I had
Disappeared like a falling star
And there's a new beginning
Love doesn't come with a contract
You give me this, I give you that
It's scary business, your heart and soul is on the line
Baby, why else would I be standing 'round here so tongue-tied
If I knew what I was doing, I'd be doing it right now
I would be the best damn poet, silver words out of my mouth
My words might not be magic but they cut straight to the truth
So if you need a lover and a friend
Baby, I'm in, I'm in, baby, I'm in, I'm in
Baby, come on in, the water's fine
I'll be right here, you take your time
Just let me hold you and we'll both take that leap of faith
It's like I told you there's no guarantee when you feel this way
If I knew what I was doing, I'd be doing it right now
I would be the best damn poet, silver words out of my mouth
My words might not be magic but they cut straight to the truth
So if you need a lover and a friend
Baby, I'm in, I'm in
Baby, come here next to me
I'll show you how good it can be
I'll breathe each breath you breathe I can
Pour out everything I am
If I knew what I was doing, I'd be doing it right now
I would be the best damn poet, silver words out of my mouth
My words might not be magic but they cut straight to the truth
So if you need a lover and a friend
If you need a lover and a friend
Baby, I'm , baby, I'm in, I'm in, baby I'm in, I'm in
Baby, come here next to me
I'll show you how good it can be
I'll breathe each breath you breathe I can
Pour out everything I am
Baby, come here next to me
I'll show you how good it can be
I'll breathe each breath you breathe I can
Pour out everything I am
Baby, I'm in
I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in
Baby, come here next to me
I'll show you how good it can be
[Incomprehensible]
You're such a pretty little thing
I wanna put you a wedding ring on your finger
And baby can't you see that we were meant to be together
Yeah the joinin' of our hearts is written in the stars
We've got a love made in Heaven
So baby take my hand, I wanna be your man forever
Well I can't think of anyone else it's true
All day long there's no one on my mind but you
And I have loved you since you were a little girl
You mean everything to me and you're all I'll ever need in this world
Now, you're such a pretty little thing
I wanna put you a wedding ring on your finger
And baby can't you see that we were meant to be together
Yeah the joinin' of our hearts is written in the stars
We got a love made in Heaven
Baby take my hand, I wanna be your man forever, oh yeah
Alright now, yeah, yeah
Every time I look into your eyes I see
The one I want beside me for eternity
And you could make me the happiest man alive
By settin' up a date and takin' my name for life
Ah you're such a pretty little thing
I wanna put you a wedding ring on your finger
And baby can't you see that we were meant to be together
Yeah the joinin' of our hearts is written in the stars
We got a love made in Heaven
So baby take my hand, I wanna be your man forever
You're such a pretty little thing
I wanna put you a wedding ring on your finger
Baby can't you see that we were meant to be together
Yeah the joinin' of our hearts is written in the stars
We got a love made in heaven
So baby take my hand, I wanna be your man forever
You said you needed your space
Oh, I wasn't where you wanted to be
I didn't stand in your way
I only want you to be happy
And so how surprised am I
To see you here tonight
Well, can't you see
That for worse or for better we're better together?
Please just come back home
No, don't say that you're sorry
And I won't say I told you so
Sometimes in our life
We get to where we wonder
If the long road that we're on
Is headin' in the same direction
When it comes to you and me
We're right where I know we should be
Oh, can't you see
That for worse or for better we're better together?
Please just come back home
No, don't say that you're sorry
And I won't say I told you so
I told you so, hey, yeah
Sometimes it's like we're deep in
Nothing but love
And the slightest thing can grow so foolishly
Remind me please
Oh, can't you see
That for worse or for better we're better together?
Please just come back home
No, don't say that you're sorry
You don't gotta say you're sorry baby
Oh, can't you see
That for worse or for better we're better together?
Please just come back home
No, don't say that you're sorry
And I won't say I told you so
And I won't say I told you so
But I told you so, yeah, hey hey hey yeah
Shoulda known better than to leave me, baby
What kind of spell is this
that you've cast on me with your kiss
its like i've lost all control of my senses
Its just not like me, to give in so easily
and dropping my thought and im leaving my heart defenseless
Oh, but im feelin good here beneath the pines of the Georgia woods
Chorus:
And what a surprise, hear by my side
Its more than a full moonshine and its driving me crazy
I waited so long, something is strong
And now i gotta be fallin cuz im already callin you baby
Theres nobody hear to see
the sparks between you and me
We better be careful my love or these woods will be burning
Or maybe we just give in, throw caution to the wind
Its funny how we aint got any say in the matter
Chorus:
And what a surprise, hear by my side
Its more than a full moonshine and its driving me crazy
I waited so long, something is strong
And i gotta be fallin cuz im already callin you baby
uh huh
oh take me down town
uh huh
Yeah, i waited so long, somethin is strong
And i know im falling cuz im already callin you
what a surprise, hear by your side
Its more than a full moonshine and its driving me crazy
oh waited so long, something is strong
And we know im fallin cuz im already callin you
oh callin you baby
It's six Monday morning, she's back into her routine
Kicks off the covers and thinks about last night's dream
Shower and coffee, she heads for the train
Thinkin' how every day's the same
There's gotta be more than a life on her own
All that she wants is a man to come home to
She's lookin' for someone to love her and stay forever true
Just somebody who she can believe in and say they need her too
She's lookin' for someone to hold her until the light of day
Somebody she can make future plans with and know he's here to stay
Late in the evening she is dreamin' in black and white
An old love story she wishes portrayed her life
No one would know what goes on in her mind
Thinkin' it's only a matter of time
Til' someday she finds what she's lookin' for
And her ship will come sailin' into her shore
She's lookin' for someone to love her and stay forever true
Just somebody who she can believe in and say they need her too
She's lookin' for someone to hold her until the light of day
Somebody she can make future plans with and know he's here to stay
She's lookin' for someone to love her
(Oh, someone to love her)
And stay forever true
(Oh, no)
Just somebody who she can believe in
And say they need her too
(Someone who needs her too)
She's lookin' for someone to hold her
Until the light of day
(Oh, until the light of day)
Somebody she can make future plans with
I'm changing lanes, I'm talking on the phone
I'm drivin' way to fast and the interstates jammed with
Gunners like me afraid of coming in last
But somewhere in the race we run
We're coming undone
Days go by
I can feel 'em flying
Like a hand out the window in the wind the cars go by
It's all we've been given
So you better start livin' right now
'Cause days go by
Out on the roof just the other night
I watched the world flash by
Headlights, taillights running through a river of neon signs
But somewhere in the rush I felt
We're losing ourselves
And days go by
I can feel 'em flying
Like a hand out the window in the wind the cars go by
It's all we've been given
So you better start livin' right now
'Cause days go by
Yeah, these days go by
We think about tomorrow then it slips away
Oh, yes it does
We talk about forever but we've only got today
And the days go by
I can feel 'em flying
Like a hand out the window
When the cars go by
It's all we've been given
So you better start livin'
You better start livin'
Better start livin' right now
'Cause days go by
I can feel like 'em flying
Like a hand out the window in the wind the cars go by
It's all we've been given
So you better start livin' right now
'Cause days go by
Yeah, these days go by
So take 'em by the hand
They're yours and mine
Take 'em by the hand
And live your life
Take 'em by the hand
Don't let 'em all fly by
Come on, come on now
Soon the pines will be falling everywhere
As the village children fight each other for their share
And the Six O' Nine goes roarin' past the creek
As Deacon Lee prepares his sermon for next week
I saw grandma yesterday down at the store
Well she's really doin' fine for eighty-four
And she asked me if sometime I could fix her barn
The poor old girl, she needs a hand to run that farm
And it's good old country comfort in my bones
It's the sweetest sound these ears have ever known
It's just an old fashioned feelin' fully grown
Country comfort and a truck that's goin' back home
Oh it's goin' back home
Down at the well they've got a new machine
The foreman says it'll cut manpower by fifteen
"Hey but that ain't natural", old Clay would say, yes he would
You see he's a horse drawn man until his dyin' day
And it's good old country comfort in my bones
It's the sweetest sound these ears have ever known
An' it's just an old fashioned feelin' fully grown
Country comfort and a truck that's goin' back home
Take it home, woo, hmm
Yeah, it feels so good, woo, hmm
And it's good old country comfort in my bones
It's the sweetest sound these ears have ever known
An' it's just an old fashioned feelin' fully grown, ha
The country comfort and a truck that's goin' back home
Country comfort and a truck that's goin' back home
(Home)
Whoa, it's goin' back home, yeah
Hey take me back home, hey, hey
(Home)
And a truck, and a truck that's goin' back home
Any truck
Hello blue stranger, sittin' there all alone
With your glass of sorrow you seem so far from home
Maybe you will let me buy a round or two
I'm a blue stranger too
Hello blue stranger, I haven't seen you around
But I know every reason for leavin' town
We might know each other before the night is through
I'm a blue stranger too
And strangers fall in love everyday
All lovers were strangers once
Just like us, a little unsure of their ways
Well hello blue stranger, will you take a chance?
I might be mistaken but I see meaning in your glance
Maybe this could be the start of something new
I'm a blue stranger too
And strangers fall in love all the time
All lovers were strangers once
Just like us, a little unsure of sharin' eyes
Hello blue stranger, sittin' there all alone
With you glass of sorrow you seem so far away from home
Maybe you will let me buy you a round or two
I'm a blue stranger too
Hello blue stranger, hello blue stranger
Lord I fell for her smile
And she loved me for a while
Then she said good-bye gotta go
Left me standing on the side of the road
Now she's gone and I'm a memory in her past
And the long and short of it some things never last
Oh because summers come, summers go
I'll keep walking down this road
It's alright and it's okay
I'll live to love another day
I'll live to love another day
Lord I'm out here again
With my back to the wind
The warm sun that's sinking low
Is gonna leave me out in the cold
But the long and short of it some things never last
And if that goes for the good
It must go for the bad
If I fall down
I'm not ashamed
I always get back up again
But I'll be fine 'till the right one comes to save me, save me, save me
Lord I fell for her smile
And she loved me for a while
And someday she's gonna wish
She hadn't left me here like this
I'll live to love another day
I'll live to love another day
Go if you wana go, stay if you wana stay
My hearts not a game you can play with and out away
Baby tryin' to figure you out, could make a man go insane
So just go if you wana go, stay if you wana stay...
Dream what you want to dream, be who you gotta be
I never wana be the one who kept you from being free
But girl I gotta know what you want, 'cause I've takin' all I can take
So just go if you wana go, stay if you wana stay...
Every time you decide, to spread your wings and fly
You make the same mistake, and I can't take anymore goodbyes
So baby just go if you wana go, stay if you wana stay...
Every time you decide, to spread your wings and fly
You make the same mistake, and I can't take anymore goodbyes
So baby just go if you wana go, stay if you wana stay...
I don't wana lose everything our love has made
But I don't wana feel alone everytime you go away
So just go if you wana go, stay if you wana stay...
I know it's gonna take some time
For you to trust this love of mine
I know he broke your heart in two
You've been betrayed and ... your afraid
That I will do the same to you
But you'll be safe here in my arms ... forever and a day
Though you don't believe me now ... I'll never walk away
You ... You know that I'll be there ... when tomorrow comes
( You're the only one )
I know you've heard this all before
( You're the only one )
Your the one that I adore
( You're the only one )
You make me shine just like the sun
( You're the only one )
You bring this heart of mine undone
( You're the only one )
For evry Lie you've ever heard
You can believe my every word... yes you can
Whatever heaven holds in store
Through good and bad ... I'll be your man
Stand beside you through it all
But you'll be safe here in my arms ... forever and a day
Though you don't believe me now ... I'll never walk away
And you ... you know that I'll be there ... when tomorrow comes
( You're the only one )
I know you've heard this all before
( You're the only one )
Your the one that I adore
( You're the only one )
You make me shine just like the sun
( You're the only one )
You bring this heart of mine undone
( You're the only one )
I know you've heard this all before
( You're the only one )
But your the one that I adore
( You're the only one )
You make me shine just like the sun
( You're the only one )
You bring this heart of mine undone
( You're the only one )
( You're the only one )
Make me shine just like the sun ... yes you do
( You're the only one )
There was a world outside my door
I wasn't in touch with anymore
There was a way I used to feel
I knew what was and wasn't real
You built a bridge, I tore it down
I felt safe on shaky ground
And I was a master of despair
Making believe I didn't care
I shouldn't be standing here today
After all the crazy things I've done
I'm ready to fall and that's OK
I ran as far as I could run
You won
Out of a world turned upside down
It took some time to come around
Out of a dream you made me whole
Yes you did
You lit a fire down in my soul
I shouldn't be standing here today
After all the crazy things I've done
I'm ready to fall and that's OK
I ran as far as I could run
You won
I shouldn't be standing here today
After all the crazy things I've done
I'm ready to fall and that's OK
I ran as far as I could run
You won
And you won
I'm ready to fall
I thought I knew what I was doing
I thought I was in control
I thought nobody could slow me down
But what did I know
I was just a kid, a motherless child
No one to watch over me I was runnin' wild
Free of all responsibility 'til my life
And my love for myself caught up with me
Yeah, it caught up with me
And now I'm (ready to fall), yes I am
(G Burr/Keith Urban)
You come here lookin' for sympathy
Cause it's not everything you thought it would be
Don't waste your time
You can't understand why it comes and goes
The sudden storms, the highs and lows
So you stand here cryin'
Girl get in line
CHORUS:
What love is that way
You're waitin' time pretending
What love is that way
When you walk through life expecting
So much, so soon
Love can only hurt you
What love is that way
What love is ever that way
The more you wish and the more you dream
The more the reality never seems
What it ought to be
It's never perfect as when it begins
Time always seems to put an end
To the fantasy, It seems to me
REPEAT CHORUS
So much, so soon, Love can only hurt you
What love is that way
What love is ever that way, What love is that way
REPEAT TO FADE
You know the cards are stacked against this
As we surrender our defenses
And I've torn down all my fences just for you
And you feel it too
What do we do
Do we run or see it through
The longer we're together
It just keeps gettin' better
And you hide your little love letters
Around the house for me
And it's plain to see
That you'll always be all I'll ever need
The webs we spun
Wove into one
And left us tangled up in love
You squeeze my hand I understand
About a woman and a man
I love the way you make me feel
You got me tangled up in love
The webs we spun
Wove into one
I like blue eyes
her's are green
not like the woman of my dreams
and her hairs not quite,
as long as i had planned
5 foot 3 isnt tall,
shes not the girl i pictured at all
and those paint by number fantisies i've had
chorus:
So it took me by complete surprise when my heart got lost in those deep green eyes she's not at all what i was looking for.... shes more
no it wasnt at first sight, but the moment i looked twice,
i saw the woman, i was born to love
her laughter fills my soul
and when i hold her i dont wanna let go
when it comes to her i cant get enough
chorus
more than i dreamed of, more than any man deserves
i couldnt ask for more, than a love like hers
chorus
(feat. Ronnie Dunn)
Oooh, yeah
Ooooh, waaaah
Well, there ain't no strangers
When you're swinging a hammer side by side
Oh, had a little setback
Ain't nothing gonna stop this Southern pride
No, no
So let's all pull together now boys
Once again this town's gonna make some noise
We'll be square dancing, toe tapping
We'll be clicking out heels to Cotton Eye Joe
The music laughter gonna raise the rafters
A little boot sliding across the floor
Do a little hand holding, hay rolling
Strolling with your honey by your side
Dixie cups and paper plates
Fiddle tunes and amazing grace
Hallelujah, raise the barn tonight
Sing along now, babe
Well, the Lord he was willing but the creek did rise up
Lord have mercy the bossman don't seem to care
So it's up to us to gather round, gather round
The stars are shining a little brighter than before
It's gonna come alive when we swing open the door
We'll be square dancing, toe tapping
We'll be clicking out heels to Cotton Eye Joe
The music laughter gonna raise the rafters
A little boot sliding across the floor
Do a little hand holding, hay rolling
Strolling with your honey by your side
Dixie cups and paper plates
Fiddle tunes and amazing grace
Hallelujah, raise the barn tonight
Yes, y'all (Cotton Eye Joe)
So heeve ho, let's pull together now boys
Once again this town's gonna make some noise
Everybody make some noise
We'll be square dancing, toe tapping
We'll be clicking out heels to Cotton Eye Joe
The music laughter gonna raise the rafters
A little boot sliding across the floor
Do a little hand holding, hay rolling
Strolling with your honey by your side
Dixie cups and paper plates
Fiddle tunes and amazing grace
Hallelujah, raise the barn tonight
I can feel your goodbye comin'
Like a storm up from the south
The rain'll splatter at the back door
The wind'll whistle 'round the house
So it's you and Howie Johnston
Somebody told me at the store
I guess I'd better get used
To the idea of you
Not around anymore
And so, I'm doin' my best to prepare for the worst
And I'd better get use to the hunger and thirst
I gotta find me a potion
To take for the pain
And all you've got to lose
Is my last name
I know he's cute and he's got money
I ain't no handsome fancy Dan
In a way it's sad and kinda funny
You'll be ok and I'll be damned
So I best be gettin' ready
For the bitter nights alone
Sleepin' on the couch
Wake up starting out
Livin' life on my own
I'm gonna be here for you baby
I'll be a man of my word
Speak the language in a voice
That you have never heard
I wanna sleep with you forever
And I wanna die in your arms
In a cabin by a meadow
Where the wild bees swarm
And I'm gonna love you
Like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust
Makin' memories of us
I wanna honor your mother
And I wanna learn from your pa
I wanna steal your attention
Like a bad outlaw
And I wanna stand out in a crowd for you
A man among men
I wanna make your world better
Than it's ever been
And I'm gonna love you
Like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust
Makin' memories of us
We'll follow the rainbow
Wherever the four winds blow
And there'll be a new day
Comin' your way
I'm gonna be here for you from now on
This you know somehow
You've been stretched to the limits
But it's alright now
And I'm gonna make you a promise
If there's life after this
I'm gonna be there to meet you
With a warm, wet kiss
And I'm gonna love you
Like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust
Makin' memories of us
I'm gonna love you
Like nobody loves you
And I'll win your trust
(Johanna Pigott and Todd Hunter)
I've been through ups and downs
I haven't known which way to turn
And when I wander through this town
I only think of you
CHORUS
Only you, can take my bad heart and make it good
Only you, can take my crooked path and make it new
On the day that I was born
The cards were dealt, the dice were thrown
I think my destiny was drawn
REPEAT CHORUS
Only you, can take my bad heart and make it good
Only you, can take my crooked path and make it new
I built myself a prison cell
The walls are painted blue
Only you can let me out
Only you
Only you, can take my bad heart and make it good
Only you, can take my crooked path and make it new
CHORUS (Repeat to Fade)
Yeah, yeah
Ooh it's a love thing
I been working all day long
And I'm ready to come on home to you
All the other guys roll their eyes
And don't realize it's what I want to do
It's what I want to do
They say I'm wrapped around your finger
But they don't understand
That what we got is more than just a diamond
On your hand
Baby it's a love thing, whoa
Baby it's a love thing, yeah
Sure I could hang around and complain about
The way things ought to be
Yeah there's trouble in the world
But you're the girl
Whose open arms are all I really need
And that's why I come runnin'
To be there by your side
To let 'em call me crazy
But it can't be denied
Baby it's a love thing, whoa
Baby it's a love thing, yeah
And it's not about the same last name
It's not a thing that can be explained
It's how you make me feel inside
And the way you hold me everynight
It's a love thing, whoa
Oh baby, it's a love thing, yeah
He we go now
It's a love thing
They say I'm wrapped around your finger
But they don't understand
That what we got is more than just a diamond
On your hand
Baby it's a love thing, whoa
Oh baby it's a love thing, yeah
Come on it's a love thing, whoa
Oh baby, It's a love thing, yeah
Oh, it's a love thing, whoa
Oh sugar, it's a love thing
No it ain't about no diamond ring
It's a love thing, whoa
Oh baby it's a love thing, yeah
(Keith Urban)
CHORUS:
I never work on a Sunday
I've got a life of my own
And this here is the one day
I spend with my family at home
I left the office in a flash on Friday
Threw my boots in the car
Cashed my pay cheque & headed for the country
To sleep underneath the stars
I drove all day Saturday and right into the evenin' 'till there were no more city lights
Those broken lines were gettin' blurry through my windscreen
Well I guess I drove all night
Then Sunday mornin' found me rollin' into sunrise
With my fuel gauge dead
I pulled into fill up, found the place deserted and a little sign that read...
CHORUS
All I could do is call up a tow truck
To take me further down the road
I fumbled round & round for some change in my pocket,
walked fifteen minutes to the phone
There in the phone book I found a business ad-vert, saying "Use Us Instead"
I dialed the number and a tape recorder answered and it politely said...
CHORUS
I finally got back home and it took forever
Then at work the next day
Somebody said
"Hey the boss said he wants to see you in his office right away"
He told me just how far behind the work was getting
And on the weekend could I stay
I started laughin' and said 'You must be kiddin'
I just got one thing to say...you know what I said...
REPEAT CHORUS 2x
I'm quite entitled to one day,
to spend with my family at home
I had a heck of a time gettin' into my house today
There was a big ass U-Haul trailer in my way
And she was headed for the car ...so I grabbed my old guitar
I got one more chance before she drives away
So...
Hank don't fail me now
You've always bailed me out
"Your Cheatin' Heart"
Could set that suitcase down
Give me one more song to whine
That'll make her change her mind
Cause she's walkin' out
Hank don't fail me now
Yeah she was throwin' stuff... cussin' like a sailor at me
She was waving her arms around like she was fightin' bees
If I could yodel her a lick
That just might do the trick
If I sang "I Saw The Light" would she believe
(I don't think so)
So...
She's walkin' out
Hank don't fail me now
She's walkin' out
(Keith Urban/G M Holden)
Monday morning another workin' week ahead
Friday seems so far ahead
The clock keeps ringin', gotta get up out of bed
Maybe this could be the day
Motivation, well it keeps you holon' on
Every step of the way
Headin' in the right direction when you think you're turnin' wrong
Lookin' out for when you stay
So hear what I say
There's no other way, you gotta
CHORUS:
Hold onto your dreams
Cause someday baby
Your ship is gonna come in so
Hold onto your dreams
Cause everything you see
Comes true if you believe in holding
On to your dreams
Well I know sometimes it's hard to see the light
Shinin' at the tunnel's end
And thought the road just goes on and on for miles
So now and then remember
REPEAT CHORUS
Just like your eyes are the window to the soul
Dreams are the highways that lead to your goal
Hold on, hold on, You've got to hold on, hold on
REPEAT CHORUS
It never ceases to blow my mind
It does it to me everytime
Standing here looking at you
It makes me wonder what he was up to
Was he thinking about me
When he thought about you
When God made woman
He must've been proud
He must've been crying aloud
Or laughing out loud
Must've felt like the first time
Getting kissed by the sun
When God made woman
It must've been the most beautiful day
Looking down on all creation
He took a river that winds and turns
He took a fire that breathes and burns
And put it all in place
In the most perfect way
When God made woman
He must've been proud
He must've been crying aloud
Or laughing out loud
Must've felt like the first time
Getting kissed by the sun
When God made woman
When God made woman
He must've been proud
He must've been crying aloud
Or laughing out loud
Must've felt like the first time
Getting kissed by the sun
When God made woman
Down the drain pipe cross the yard and through the fence
I risked a whoopin' every time I went
'Cause white boys weren't allowed
On the colored side of town
But I was proud to call
That old black man my friend
He had a pillow by the bed he used to pray on
And a beat up old guitar he let me play on
I knew where my fingers went
From his greasy fingerprints
Yeah, he was passin' on
What was handed down to him
And it soaked up all the blood and sweat and teardrops
And the beers he missed in smokey little bars
And sometimes that old man he comes alive in my hands
I feel the beating of his sad old broken heart
Just like there's a ghost in this guitar
A ghost in this guitar
Well, the night before he died he made me take it
He said, "You play it now, 'cause I gotta go"
And I can feel him in my fingers when I play it
'Cause sometimes I'm in control
And sometimes I just sit back
And let him go
Sit back and let him go
(Keith Urban and H Field)
I hit the highway and I checked the time
I see the sunrise and it makes me wanna change my mind
Oh I got it bad
I stopped for a coffee in a nowhere town
A pretty waitress says "Hey what's the frown
Boy you got it bad"
Well so many times you told me before
If you don't like it, well there's the door
This time I've gone for good and I got it bad
CHORUS
I got it badder than a broken heart
Badder then the devil's smile
And I can't face bein' apart
I guess I'll have to leave but meanwhile
Oohh I got it bad
Moonlight on the water still looks the same
Pretty girl beside me but I don't know her name
Guess I got it bad
I'm too weak to say no, too lonely to care
I'll believe her if she says hey baby
I got to love to spare
Well tomorrow I'll take it like a man
Tonight I'm taking all I can
This time I went for good and I got it bad
CHORUS x 3
Don't shut me out maybe baby
We should talk about it
'Cause you've got your doubts but maybe, baby
They might be unfounded
Have a little faith you'll make it through
I'd never hesitate to talk to you
If you tell me just what's weighing on your mind
Maybe it could help you sleep tonight
So don't shut me out
Don't be so proud don't ya know that
Before a fall it leaves ya
And it'll take you down baby that ain't
Where I wanna see ya
The sun'll rise tomorrow come what may
And you'll feel better than you do today
And in time you'll cry no more
I know 'cause my heart's been there before
And here I am when you need someone
My shoulder's yours to cry upon
And everybody now and then
Needs and understanding friend around
So don't shut me out
Don't shut me out maybe baby
We should talk about it
'Cause you've got your doubts but maybe, baby
They might be unfounded
Listen to your heart and clear your mind
And you will find the answer every time
Every road you travel on will lead
To where it is your heart's supposed to be
And here I am when you need someone
My shoulder is yours to cry upon
And everybody now and then
Needs an understandin' friend around
(Keith Urban/G M Holden)
I've seen it happen too many times
And just where it starts I don't know
You're travelling steady but you don't see the signs
That tell you there's a fork in the road
And you don't think it's right but you're both turnin' away
And the ending is always the same
When suddenly parallel lives drift apart
And there's no one accepting the blame
But girl you and I we got too much too lose
By one of us saying goodbye
And I see it clearly we're both meant to be
But you got that look in your eyes
CHORUS:
Don't go, don't go
Cause you might regret everything
When you wake up on your own
Oh no, I'm not lettin' go
And I never will surrender what we got together
Layin' beside you I can't sleep at all
Wonderin' what your thinkin' inside
Will I wake up and find that
You've made up your mind to
Go it alone for awhile
And don't say it's present when it's all in the past
You gotta stop lookin' behind
And take everything as it comes for today is
The first day of the rest of your life
REPEAT CHORUS
Don't go, oh never say goodbye, Don't go
Oh no, you got that look in your eyes
I've seen it before, you're gonna walk out that door
REPEAT CHORUS 2x
And I can hear the neighbors they're arguin' again
And there hasn't been peace on our street since who knows when
And I don't mean to listen in but the shoutin' is so loud
I turn up the radio to drown it out
And silently I say a little prayer
But for the grace of God go I
I must've been born a lucky guy
Heaven only knows how I've been blessed
With the gift of your love
And I look around and all I see
Is your happiness embracing me
Oh Lord I'd be lost
But for the grace of God
I can see that old man, he's walking past our door
And I've been told that he's rich but he seems so poor
'Cause no one comes to call on him and his phone it never rings
He wanders through his empty home surrounded by his things
And silently I say a little prayer, yes I do
But for the grace of God go I
I must've been born a lucky guy
Heaven only knows how I've been blessed
With the gift of your love
And I look around and all I see
Is your happiness embracing me
Oh Lord I'd be lost
But for the grace of God
I look around and all I see
Is your happiness embracing me
Oh Lord I'd be lost
But for the grace of God
Oh Lord I'd be lost
But for the grace of God, yeah
I'd be lost
Billy left on Friday night with twenty dollars cash
Had a thousand more and a diamond on his hand when he got back
I don't know
Just where Billy got that dough
Saturday he spent in style, drinks were on the house
Lincoln here, and a Jackson there suspicions were aroused
A dime was dropped and a name was named, a body soon was found
Travelin' Bible salesman on his monthly trip to town
Three bullet holes, a .38 gun took his soul
What do you know? No diamond ring, no money roll
A quick investigation, they dragged Billy to the station
And broke him down with the third degree
His alibi unraveled, judge Riley banged his gavel
A 12-man jury all agreed, so he must be guilty
I knew Billy spent that night winning big at cards
And the salesman was a married man who broke my sisters heart
Billy sits in Leavenworth waiting for the gas
And I know lots of other things but no one ever asked
So they'll never know, swear to God they'll never know
Instrumental
The light shines down the valley
The wind blows up the alley
Oh, how I wish, I was lyin' in the arms of Mary
She took the pains of boyhood
And turned them into feel good
Oh, how I wish, I was lyin' in the arms of Mary
Mary was the girl who taught me, all I had to know
She out me right on my first mistake
Summer wasn't gone
When I learned all, she had to give
She really gave all, a boy could take
So now when I get lonely
Still lookin' for my one and only
That's when I wish was lyin' in
The arms of Mary
Mary was the girl who taught me, all I had to know
I carry her with me
I carry her pride
Whenever I speak her name
My soul it comes alive
She taught me to be strong
She taught me to fight
And I am who I am today
Because she raised me right
[Chorus:]
In a sunburned country
Her magic and her mystery
In a sunburned country
Forever will be home to me
Oh that's where my heart is truly free
The creeks and the rivers
The dust and the mud
All of us understand
This land gets in your blood
The sight of the blue gums
And black cockatoos
White snow Kosciusko
Red rock Uluru
[Repeat Chorus]
We've always been humble
Too scared to be proud
I think its time that
We all stand and say
We love our home out loud
[Repeat Chorus]
I love all the people
I love all the sounds
Sleeping under a tin roof
With a hard rain coming down
There were nights where I was sure I wouldn't see the mornin' sun
And there were days that seemed so dark
I couldn't wait for night to come
I couldn't stand to think about how my life used to be
And how without a single warnin' it all slipped away from me
Like a fool I thought that I could fight the shadows on my own
To the dark I was no stranger, this was stronger than I know
By the time I knew that I was in too deep I'd gone too far
And the light that used to guide me had faded from my heart
And I found myself in places I thought I'd never go
Surrounded by strangers I was so far from home
And I don't know how you found me
All I know is I owe everything to you, yes I do
And I thank you for my heart, I thank you for my life
And I thank God for grace and mercy and that you became my wife
I'm seein' for the first time the stars, the sun and moon
But they've got nothin' on the power of this love I have for you
And I thank you, I thank you
People say they'll stand beside you, swear they'll never leave
When the rain started fallin' you know it only fell on me
It was hard to keep believin' in myself when all I felt was so much pain
And getting ashamed I couldn't even ask for help
I don't know if I believe in other lives but when you came
There was somethin' so familiar about the way you said my name
And the whole world started turnin'
And I swear that I'd been born again brand new
And it's all because of you
And so I thank you for my heart, I thank you for my life
And I thank God for grace and mercy and that you became my wife
I'm seein' for the first time the stars, the sun and moon
But they've got nothin' on the power of this love I have for you
And I thank you
And I've seen so many things that I just can't explain
But the miracle of miracles is how with your love I was saved
And I thank you
I thank you for my life
I thank God for grace and mercy and that you became my wife
And I'm seein' for the first time the stars the sun and moon
But they've got nothin' on the power of all this love I give to you
And I thank you for my heart, I thank you for my life
I thank God for grace and mercy and that you became my wife
The day I started breathing was the day you took my hand
And 'til the day I die baby I'll forever be your man
And I thank you, I thank you
Yes, I do
Don't you know I thank you?
When I picked you up for our first date baby
Well, your pretty blue eyes, they were driving me crazy
And the tiny little thought that was so amazing
Is they were looking at me
I held open the car door for you
Then you climbed inside and slid on over
To the other side
I thought my, oh my
Sweet thing
The moon is high and the night is young, come on and meet me
In the backyard under the Cottonwood tree, it's a good thing
And I'm wishing
C'mon sweet thing
Won't you climb on out of your window while the world's sleeping?
You know I need you and there's no way I'll be leaving
'Til we're kissing on the porch swing, oh my little sweet thing
Yeah, I know I'm gonna see you first thing tomorrow
But I just couldn't wait so I had to borrow
Uncle Jake's Mustang, it's his favorite car
And so I can't stay long
Standing here feeling like a love struck Romeo
All I wanna do is hold you close and steal a little more time
Is that such a crime?
Sweet thing
The moon is high and the night is young, come on and meet me
In the backyard under the Cottonwood tree, it's a good thing
And I'm wishing
C'mon sweet thing
Won't you climb on out of your window while the world's sleeping?
'Cause you know I need you and there's no way I'll be leaving
'Til we're kissing on the porch swing, oh my sweet thing, woo!
Oh my sweet thing, sweet thing, sweet thing
Oh my sweet thing
The moon is high and the night is young, come on and meet me
In the backyard under the Cottonwood tree, it's a good thing
Tell me I'm not dreaming, oh!
Sweet thing
Won't you climb on out of your window while the world's sleeping?
'Cause you know I need you and there's no way I'll be leaving
'Til we're kissing on the porch swing, oh my little sweet thing, woo!
Aw c'mon sweet thing, sweet thing, sweet thing, sweet thing
C'mon, little now
Oh my little sweet thing, yes you are
I thought I was doing all right being alone
I swore I’d never let somebody get close again
I was never gonna let my guard down
Not for anyone
But there’s a light in your eyes and it’s got me moving’ in
And tonight these walls are all coming down
And my heart is open
I’m letting you in
Cause you give me a reason and the faith I’ve been needing to start again
And your love is healing
I’m finally breathing
I’ve been waiting so long hoping for this moment
My heart is open
These days it seems like everybody’s just walking away
Like there’s no forever and love is just a game
But don’t you know you can believe me when I say that I’m your man
My heart is open
I’m letting you in baby
Cause you give me a reason and the faith I’ve been needing to start again
And your love is healing
I’m finally breathing
I’ve been waiting so long hoping for this moment
My heart is open
I can’t wait anymore, no no
Because I’ve got nothing left to prove
And I’ve got so much left to use
That’s why I’m tearing out the walls and baby I’m kicking down the doors
And your love is healing
Baby, I’m finally breathing
I can hear you calling, I’m ready to fall in love again
My heart is open
My heart is open
To kiss and tell
It's just not my style
But the night is young
And it's been awhile
And she broke my heart
Broke it right in two
And it's fixing time
But I'm feeling like I'm finally ready to
Find, find somebody new
I wanna kiss a girl
I wanna hold her tight
And maybe make a little magic in the moonlight
Don't wanna go too far
Just to take it slow
But I shouldn't be lonely in this big ol' world
I wanna kiss a girl
It's that moment when
You start closing in
First you're holding back
Then surrendering
It can start a fire
Light up the sky
Such a simple thing
Do you wanna try?
Are you ready to
Say goodbye
To all these blues?
I wanna kiss a girl
I wanna hold her tight
And maybe make a little magic in the moonlight
Don't wanna go too far
Just to take it slow
But I shouldn't be lonely in this big ol' world
I wanna kiss a girl
'Cause, baby, tonight
It could turn into the rest of our lives
Oh yeah
Are you ready?
(Are you ready?)
Are you ready
(Are you ready)
To cross that line?
Put your lips on mine
Ooh, put your lips on mine, baby
Do you wanna try?
Are you ready to
Say goodbye
To all these blues?
I wanna kiss a girl
I wanna hold her tight
And maybe make a little magic, baby
Don't wanna go too far
Just to take it slow
Don't want you to be lonely
I shouldn't be lonely
I wanna kiss a girl
I wanna hold her tight
And maybe make a little magic in the moonlight
Don't wanna go too far
Just to take it slow
But I shouldn't be lonely in this big ol' world
I wanna kiss a girl
I said I wanna kiss a girl
Whoa ho, whoa ho
I wanna kiss a girl
I wanna hold her tight
I wanna make a little magic
Out under the moonlight
So you're leaving in the morning on the early train
I could say everything's alright
And I could pretend to say goodbye
You got your ticket, got your suitcase
You got your leaving smile
I could say that's the way it goes
I could pretend and you won't know
That I was lying
Cause I can't stop loving you
I can't stop loving you
No, I can't stop loving you
Though I try
We took a taxi to the station, not a word was said
No, I saw you walk across the road
It may be the last time I don't know feeling humble
Heard a rumble on the railway tracks
And when I hear that whistle blow
I walked away and you won't know
That I was trying
Cause I can't stop loving you
I can't stop loving you
No, I can't stop loving you
Though I try, I just can't stop loving you
No, I can't stop loving you
I just can't stop loving you
Why do I try, why do I try
Well if you ever said goodbye
I wouldn't waste all of my time cryin'
I wouldn't sit home alone wondering where I went wrong
I'd be rockin' on out of here
Baby, faster than a rolling tear
Ain't no grass gonna grow under me when you're gone
No, I won't stay down for long
I'd hit the ground
I'd hit the ground runnin'
I know exactly what I'd do, honey
I'd hit the ground
I'd hit the ground runnin'
I'd hit the ground runnin' after you
Yeah Woo
I'm gonna stop in ...
For a couple things I gotta pick up
Like some pretty red flowers and a store bought card
That say what I really feel
That I need ya' and I always will
And the three little words that used to come hard
Then I jump in back in my car and then
I'd hit the ground
I'd hit the ground runnin'
I know exactly what I'd do
I'd hit the ground
I'd hit the ground runnin'
I'd hit the ground runnin' after you
There ain't no doubt, I ain't that proud
There ain't no doubt about what I'd do
I'd hit the ground
Hit the ground
Hit the ground runnin' after you, yes, I would, woo
So if you gotta go baby, I won't stop you
And I won't sit around and miss you, no , no , no
'Cuz if you leave I'm - a - comin' with you
Comin' with you, baby
I'd hit the ground
I'd hit the ground runnin'
I know exactly what I'd do, sugar
I'd hit the ground
I'd hit the ground runnin'
I'd hit the ground runnin' after you
There ain't no doubt, I ain't that proud
There ain't no doubt about what I'd do
I'd hit the ground
Winter's weighing on your shoulders
It's hanging around a little too long
And I can see it in your eyes
You've taken on a load that's just too strong
Oh, but let me get down to the heart of the matter
Baby, if you want I can make it better now
When the sun is hard to find
When it's raining in your eyes
When the shadows block those pretty little blue skies living inside you
When the falling of your tears, makes a candle disappear
When you just can't see the light
Baby, I'll find a way to shine
I'll find a way to shine
Everybody's got a cross to carry
Everybody's got a story they can tell
Ya know you're not the only one counting on a quarter and wishing well
Woah don't you sit there with your heart under lock and key
Gimmie one chance baby, I can set you free
When the sun is hard to find
When it's raining in your eyes
When the shadows block those pretty little blue skies living inside you
When the falling of your tears, makes a candle disappear
When you just can't see the light
Baby, I'll find a way to shine
I'll find a way to shine
Sometimes in this life good luck don't shine like it suppose to do
When there's no one you can trust and they just keep on giving up on you
Baby, don't ya know that I won't ever let ya down
Come on now, wooo
Oh, don't sit there with your heart under lock and key
Just gimmie one chance and baby, I can set you free
When the sun is hard to find
When it's raining in your eyes
And the shadows block those pretty little blue skies living inside you
When the falling of your tears, makes a candle disappear
And you just can't see the light
Baby, I'll find a way to shine
I'll find a way to shine
Find a way to shine
Find a way to shine
You know I'll find a way
Find a way, find a way
She believes in me like I've been trying to do
I'm seeing things I've never seen before
Ever since she came into my life
I've been a better man
Run, run running, I was running scared
Always looking for a place to leave
And I couldn't seem to find where I belonged
'til she took my hand
We can make this work out, baby
I know it's true
I can't picture myself with no one but you
And I think I got it right this time
Oh, yeah
All of my life I've been looking for someone
Who believes in love the way I do
Know I made several big mistakes
But girl I promise you
We can make this work out, baby
I know it's true
I can't picture myself with no one but you
And I think I got it right this time
True believers always find each other and here we are
Always knew that you were out there just waiting on me
For me to find my way, find my way to your heart
Oh, yeah
We can make it work out, baby
I know it's true
Can't picture myself with no one but you
And I think I got it right this time
Yeah, after all the crazy days
Made it through
I can't picture myself with no one but you
Figaro, figaro
Anytime that you want what you need
Close your eyes and say my name
Call on me and I'll be there for you
No matter what they say
Rain, hail or shine
I got my eyes right to the sky
Waiting on your sign
Roll the dice and take a chance
A chance on me cause you never can tell
Where a little bitta faith might lead
I got a U-shaped hole inside
I swear it gets deeper by the day
Flicking cigarettes out the window
Going nowhere in this lonely rain
I need a faster car now
A rocketship straight to the moon
I need a faster way to show you
How much I need you, baby
It's a crime, it's a sin
It's a damn shame but you're the cause
And you're the cure of all my pain
There's never been a better fool for you
I can't believe my pride
Got me talking to a pillow
In the middle of the night
I need a faster car now
A rocketship straight to the moon
I need a faster way to show you
How much I need you, baby
I need a faster car now
I'm a rocketman in love with you
I need a faster way to show you
How much ya drive me crazy
Show you how much I need you, baby
And I need you, baby
I heard the rumor that we're callin' it off
And we won't last too long
But I got this feelin' when I'm looking at you
Baby,
They couldn't be more wrong
They've been sayin' it's a shaky romance
And they don't give the two of us too much of a chance
But if the Grand Canyon is just some ditch
Dorothy and Toto fought just some witch
And if Babe Ruth was just a guy with a glove
Then oooh baby this is just some love
Oooh baby this is just some love
I speak my mind baby that's the truth
But you've got a temper too
So when they see us start to fuss and fight
I guess they think we're through
But if they're judgin' us by what they see
Then they don't have a clue about you and me
'Cause if the Rocky Mountains are just some hills
Niagra Falls is just some water spills
And if Humphrey Bogart was just some tough
Then oooh baby this is just some love
Oooh baby this is just some love
Oooh baby this is just some love
I'm on a red dirt road winding up to a sky of blue
And I left the blacktop back about a mile or two
No more sittin' at home leave the T.V. and the telephone far behind
This life is killin' us all, back roads are lookin' mighty fine
Oh, and...
Freedom's finally mine
I ain't takin' anymore
Yeah freedom's finally mine, It's finally mine
I ain't takin' anymore
Oh, freedom's finally mine
I'd like to throw out this cellular
And kick off these shop-shined shoes
Leave the kids at your mama's
And take off to Timbuktu
So give me two sets of mud-grip tracks
Leadin' off to way out back o' yonder
There's no mountain I can't climb
To satisfy this need of mine to wander
Oh, 'cause...
There's no desert I can't cross
No river too wide
I can do what I want now
'Cause freedom's finally mine
Oh freedom oh freedom It's finally mine, yeah it's mine
Time stands still for no one
I know this is true
I've been stuck here waiting
Then along came you
And you gave me back
The love I had
The faith I'd lost
The life I knew
I wanna thank you for the love that you give me
And the sun that you put in my sky
You don't know how much you've lifted me up
But I feel so alive
That I could fly
I could fly, oh
There's no way I could've made it this far
Without you
You came to me just when I needed someone to believe
That I could make it through
And you gave me back
The love I had
The faith I'd lost
The life I knew
Above the clouds
Fly so high, never come down
Just you and I, I'm so in love
With you, with you
And you gave me back
The love I had
The faith I'd lost
The life I knew
I wanna thank you for the love that you give me
And the sun that you put in my sky
You don't know how much you've lifted me up
But I feel so alive
And I could fly, I could fly, oh
I wanna spread my wings
Let me tell you
Said I need your love, I need your love
Stay with me baby
Oh, I need your love, and I need your love
Stay with me baby
Oh, I need your love, I need your love
Stay with me baby
Yeah I need your love, and I need your love
Stay with me honey baby, c'mon now stay
C'mon now, yeah
You and me side by side walkin' through the woods in the pale moonlight
Friday night and the moon is high
I'm wide-awake just watchin' you sleep
And I promise you you're gonna have
More than just the things that you need
We ain't got much now, We're just startin' out
But I know somehow paradise is comin'
Someday baby, You and I are gonna be the ones
Good luck's gonna shine
Someday baby you and I are gonna be the ones
So hold on
We're headed for a better life
Oh now there's a place for you and me
Where we can dream as big as the sky
I know it's hard to see it now
But baby someday we're gonna fly
This road we're on, you know it might be long
But my faith is strong
It's all that really matters
So hold on, hold on
C'mon baby, hold on
Yeah, we're gonna have it all
And ooh
Oh, a better life
Hey we're gonna leave this all behind us baby, wait and see
We're headed for a better life, you and me
We're gonna break the chains that bind and, finally we'll be free
We're gonna be the ones that have it all, you and me
It ticks just like a Timex
It never lets up on you
Who said life was easy?
The job is never through
It'll run us 'til we're ragged
It'll harden our hearts
And love could use a day of rest
Before we both start falling apart
Pray that it's rainin' on Sunday
Stormin' like crazy
We'll hide under the covers all afternoon
And baby, whatever comes
Monday can take care of itself
'Cause we got better things that we can do
When it's rainin' on Sunday
Your love is like religion
A cross in Mexico
And your kiss is like the innocence
Of a prayer nailed to a door
Oh, surrender is much sweeter
When we both let it go
Let the water wash our bodies clean
And love wash our souls
Pray that it's rainin' on Sunday
Stormin' like crazy
We'll hide under the covers all afternoon
And baby, whatever comes
Monday can take care of itself
'Cause we got better things that we can do
When it's rainin' on Sunday
Pray that it's rainin' on Sunday
Stormin' like crazy
We'll hide under the covers all afternoon
And baby, whatever comes
Monday can take care of itself
'Cause we got better things that we can do
When it's rainin' on Sunday
When it's rainin' on Sunday
When it's rainin' on Sunday
I thought you knew
I guess I assumed too much
I don't know how but now we're so far out of touch
And I never planned to so misunderstand
But what you needed you never asked me to give
And I swear as I live
I thought you knew my heart was yours
And that we were so together, that we would always be
I don't believe you leaving me's the answer
I'm not asking you to let me rush back in and fail again
I'm asking for one chance not to assume
So I can say and do all the things I thought you knew
So here we are and so far we're still so far
From where we know we should be
I'm searching for words and you haven't heard
I thought you knew my heart was yours
And that we were so together, that we would always be
I don't believe you leaving me's the answer
I'm not asking you to let me rush back in and fail again
I'm asking for one chance not to assume
So I can say and do all the things I thought you knew
I thought you knew
Oh, God I thought you knew
Car door slams, it's been a long day at work
I'm out on the freeway and I'm wondering if it's all worth
The price that I pay, sometimes it doesn't seem fair
I pull into the drive and you're standing there
And you look at me
And give me that come-here-baby smile
It's all gonna be alright
You take my hand
You pull me close and you hold me tight
It's the sweet love that you give to me
That makes me believe we can make it through anything
'Cause when it all comes down
And I'm feeling like I'll never last
I just lean on you 'cause baby
You're my better half
They say behind every man is a good woman
But I think that's a lie
'Cause when it comes to you I'd rather have you by my side
You don't know how much I count you to help me
When I've given everything I got and I just feel like giving in
And you look at me
And give me that come-here-baby smile
It's all gonna be alright
You take my hand
Yeah you pull me close and you hold me tight
Well, you take my hand
Yeah you pull me close and I understand
It's the sweet love that you give to me
That makes me believe that we can make it through anything
Oh baby, it's the sweet love that you give to me
That makes me believe we can make it through anything
'Cause when it all comes down
And I'm feeling like I'll never last
I just lean on you 'cause baby
You're my better half
Oh, oh baby you're my better half
She says don't stare at me
She's afraid that I might see
Those five extra pounds she talks about
Man, I don't know what she's talking about
She looks through magazines
With every page she dreams
of looking like someone else
I wish she wasn't so hard on herself
Then she falls asleep with just my t-shirt on
Even when her hair's messed up and her make up's gone
(Chorus)
You can't hide beautiful
You can't hide wonderful
There's nothing that she has to do
It just comes natural
She makes it look easy
I love what she does to me
No way to disguise
The way that she shines
You can't hide beautiful
Oh no...
She can take a simple dress
Put it on and turn some heads
Man, every time she moves she gets me
She doesn't even know she's sexy
and the way she thinks sometimes
Out of nowhere blows my mind
she makes me laugh and makes me dream
I love the way she looks at things
A little piece of heaven God gave to this world
She might think she's just an ordinary girl
chorus
(Paul Jefferson/keith urban)
It's just a piece of paper, it says, In God We Trust
A little sure felt good
But a lot was not enough
And everybody loved me when I was on a roll
And I thought I had everything
When I held the gold
But you're not my god
And you're not my friend
You're not the one that I will walk with in the end
You're not the truth
You're a temporary shot
You ruin people's lives and you don't give a second thought
You're not my god
Little white lies on a mirror
Cut neatly in a roll
Medicine that kept me from lookin' in my soul
I thought you were the answer
To all of my despair
And you almost had me six feet down
But I'm still breathin' air
'Cause you're not my god
And you're not my friend
You're not the one that I will walk with in the end
You're not the truth
You're a temporary shot
You ruin people's lives and you don't give a second thought
You're not my god
From the cradle to the grave
Temptations all around
But no matter how good the fix
It's gonna take you down
Now some call it a weakness
Some call it a sin
But it's all the same behind each game
I see your evil grin
But you're not my god
And you're not my friend
You're not the one that I will walk with in the end
You're not the truth
You're a temporary shot
You ruin people's lives and you don't give a second thought
Whoa, you're not my god
And you're not my friend
You're not the one that I will walk with in the end
You're not the truth
You're a temporary shot
You ruin people's lives and you don't give a second thought
You're not my god
You're not my god
Oh oh oh you're not my god
You're not my god
Mmmmm not my god
Not my god
You're not, you're not, you're not my god
No you're not
This is my one chord song
Its easy to sing along
'Cause there aint much in the way it change
Sometimes life can be that way
Yea there aint too much i can do with a melody
'Cause im stuck in the confines of the single key of G
This is my one chord song
I can't go on too long
'Cause I've said all I've got to say
And you probably won't hear this anyway
Yea now here's the same thing you've heard 8 bars before
'Cause just like me i'm sure your bored with this chord
If I can make you stop and think About the life you're living in
'Cause you and I dont have long
So make the most before it's gone
This is my one chord song
I can make it sound like it's another chord
And you'd be fool because it's only one
This is my one chord song
This is my one chord song
This is my one chord song
(Keith Urban/G M Holden)
I can't believe it, guess I'll never understand
Seems to me, I'm lookin' at someone who's
an unchanged man
Tell me, what've I gotta do
To make you see that she's always loved you
Right there waitin' in the wings
Unaware of the foolish things you do, think about it
CHORUS:
She would never do a thing to hurt you
And there is nothing she'd ever need to hide
You're takin everything she gives for granted
You got it all and still I don't know why
You're lovin' on the side
If somebody told her 'bout your secret ways
Do you think you'd ever find another
who could take her place
I'd give everything I own
Just to have what you got at home
But still you are never satisfied
Why do you keep lovin' on the side when you know
REPEAT CHORUS
Tell me what I've gotta do
To make you see that she always loved you
Right there waitin' in the wings
Unaware of the foolish things you do,
well think about it
You're lovin' on the side
Lovin' on the side
REPEAT CHORUS
We've spent a long time side by side
Guess I've loved you forever
Sometimes we laughed, sometimes we cried
Still we made it together
I don't know what I'd do without you
Girl you make me smile
You know I can't stop thinkin' about you
Oh you drive me wild
CHORUS:
Baby our love is still comin' on strong
You give me strength that I needed so long
I can't explain how I feel in my heart
But the love we got goin' will never fall apart
Now here you are still in my arms
After so many years have gone
It seems we both were meant to be
Now that all of the tears have gone
And when it's time to settle down
And get ourselves a home
I'll be beside you all the way
Never again will you be alone
REPEAT CHORUS
Alone in this house again tonight
I got the TV on, the sound turned down and a bottle of wine
There's pictures of you and I on the walls around me
The way that it was and could have been surrounds me
I'll never get over you walkin' away
I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show
And I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-control
But I'm just drunk enough to let got of my pain
To hell with my pride, let it fall like rain
From my eyes
Tonight I wanna cry
Would it help if I turned a sad song on
'All By Myself' would sure hit me hard now that you're gone
Or maybe unfold some old yellow lost love letters
It's gonna hurt bad before it gets better
But I'll never get over you by hidin' this way
I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show
And I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-control
But I'm just drunk enough to let got of my pain
To hell with my pride, let it fall like rain
From my eyes
Tonight I wanna cry
I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show
And I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-control
But I'm just drunk enough to let got of my pain
To hell with my pride, let it fall like rain
From my eyes
Tonight I wanna cry
When I wake up in the mornin' light
I pull on my jeans and I feel all right
I pull my blue jeans on, I pull my old blue jeans on
I pull my blue jeans on, I pull my old blue jeans on
It's the weekend, and I know that you're free
So pull on your jeans and come on out with me
Oh 'cause I need to have you near me,
I need to feel you close to me
I need to have you near me, I need to feel you close to me
You and me, we'll go motorbike ridin' in the sun
And the wind and the rain
I got money in my pocket, I got a tiger in my tank
And I'm king of the road again
I'll meet ya in the usual place
You don't need a thing except your pretty face, alright
I pull my blue jeans on, I pull my old blue jeans on
I pull my blue jeans on, I pull my old blue jeans on
Aw, here we go mama
You and me, we'll go motorbike ridin' in the sun
And the wind and the rain
I got money in my pocket, I got a tiger in my tank
And I'm king of the road again
When I wake up in the mornin' light
I pull on my jeans and I feel all right
Hey I pull my blue jeans on, I pull my old blue jeans on
I pull my blue jeans on, I pull my old blue jeans on
I pull my blue jeans on, I pull my old blue jeans on
I pull my blue jeans on, I pull my old blue jeans on
I don't know what it was about her cause,
she's still all my mind,
So why wouldn't I could keep her,
But waiting here is just fine.
Cause I know someday,
She'll come my way,
and soon the sun will shine....
Chorus:
And if I ever lose my heart,
I'd lose it to a girl like that,
And if i'm going to save all my love,
I'd save it for the day she comes back,
And if I ever lose my heart,
I'd lose it to a girl like that.
And she can wrap the world in a river's mate,
The stars are string of pearls,
With the colors of the sunset,
She takes me round the world.
Now everynight,
inside of ______
I am sending her my love out there
Chorus:
And if I ever lose my heart,
I'd lose it to a girl like that,
And if i'm going to save all my love,
I'd save it for the day she comes back,
And if I ever lose my heart,
I'd lose it to a girl like that.
Bridge:
Though i know she's gone,
Maybe dreams just can't be wrong,
Cause no one else on Earth,
That makes me feel... the way i feel with her.
Chorus:
And if I ever lose my heart, (lose my heart)
I'd lose it to a girl like that, (girl like that)
And if i'm going to save all my love,
I'd save it for the day she comes back,
And if I ever lose my heart,
I'd lose it to a girl like that
Yeah, if i ever lose me heart,
I would lose it to a girl like,
a girl like that!
This is my one chord song
It's easy to sing along
Cause there ain't much in the way it change
But sometimes life can be that way
Yeah there aint to much that I can do with the melody
Cause im stuck within the confines of the single key
of G
This is my one chord song
I can't go on too long
Cause I've said all I've got to say
and you probably wont hear this anyway
Yeah now here's the same thing that you heared 8 bar before
And if your just like me I'm sure that you are bored
with this chord
But if I can make you stop and think
about the life your living in
Cause you and I, we dont have long
so make the most before its gone
Cause this is my one chord song
Now I can make it sound like there's another chord
But you'd be fooled cause there is only one
This is my one chord song
This is my one chord song
This is my one....
chord song
There's a new wind blowing like I've never known
I'm breathing deeper than I've ever done
And it sure feels good to finally feel the way I do
Now I wanna love somebody, love somebody like you.
And I'm letting go of all my lonely yesterdays
I've forgiven myself for the mistakes I've made
Now theres just one thing, the only thing I wanna do
I wanna love somebody, love somebody like you
Yeah I wanna feel the sunshine shining down on me and you
When you put your arms around me
You let me know theres nothing in this world I can't do
I used to run in circles going no where fast
I'd take one step forward and look two steps back
I couldn't walk a straight line even if I wanted to
I wanna love somebody, love somebody like you
Whoa here we go now
Yeah, Hey i wanna love you baby
Yeah I wanna feel the sunshine shining down on me and you
When you put your arms around me
Well baby there ain't nothing in this world I can't do
Sometimes it's hard for me to understand
But you're teaching me to be a better man
I don't want to take this life for granted like I used to do
I wanna love somebody, love somebody like you
I'm ready to love somebody, love somebody like you
And I wanna love somebody, love somebody like you (yeah)
Hey I wanna love you baby
Oh yeah.
Oh, I wanna be the man in the middle of the night,
Shinin' like it's true.
I wanna be the man that you run to whenever I call on you
When everything that loved someone finally found it's way
Wanna be a better man
I see it in you yeah...
The first time I looked in your eyes I knew
That I would do anything for you
The first time you touched my face I felt
What I'd never felt with anyone else
I wanna give back what you've given to me
And I want to witness all of your dreams
Now that you've shown me who I really am
I wanna be more than just a man
CHORUS:
I wanna be the wind that fills your cells
And be the hand that lifts your veil
And be the moon that moves your tide
The sun coming up in your eyes
Be the wheel that never rusts
And be the spark that lights you up
All that you've been dreaming of and more
So much more
I wanna be your everything
When you wake up
I'll be the first thing you see
And when it gets dark you can reach out to me
I'll cherish your words
And I'll finish your thoughts
And I'll be your compass baby, when you get lost
CHORUS
I'll be the wheel that never rusts
And be the spark that lights you up
All that you've been dreaming of and more
So much more
I wanna be your everything (x3)
When you walked up behind me and covered my eyes
And whispered in my ear, guess who
I rattled off names like I really didn't know
But all along I knew it was you
And, the longer we talked, the more we laughed
And wondered why we didn't last
It had been a long time, but later last night
Baby, we caught up real fast
And maybe it's a little too early
To know if this is gonna work
All I know is you're sure looking
Good in my shirt
That's right
You look good in my shirt
Well now I'm not saying that we solved overnight
Every way that we went wrong
Oh, but what I'm seeing I'd sure love seeing
Every morning from now on
And maybe it's a little too early
To know if this is gonna work
All I know is you're sure looking
Good in my shirt
C'mon now
Aww that's right
Oh you look so fine
And maybe it's a little too early
To know if this is gonna work
All I know is you're sure looking
Good in my shirt
And maybe it's a little too early
To know if this is gonna work
All I know is you're sure looking
Good in my shirt
You look good in my shirt
One, two, three, baby, don't think twice
Just like that you gotta brand new life
Hop in this truck, run through the red lights
Yeah, where you wanna go, baby, name the town
We can go up north, we could head down south
Roll down the windows with the radio loud
Come on, turn it up, yeah
Start living your life on the double
Leave your troubles behind
You and me, we're gonna be alright
You could be a black bird on the country street
Hiding from the world with a broken wing
But you better believe you're gonna fly with me
And you could be a songbird from New Orleans
Scared of the rain, just as scared to sing
But you better believe you're gonna fly with me
Well, here we are, baby, in the back of my bed
Suns going down, sky's turning red
Stars coming out, baby, look at you now
God knows how long but it's been a while
Since I heard you laugh and I'd seen that smile
Felt that kiss and I can get used to this
Baby, I could get used to this
'Cause you could be a black bird on the country street
Hiding from the world with a broken wing
But you better believe you're gonna fly with me
Ooh, and you could be a songbird from New Orleans
Scared of the rain, just as scared to sing
But you better believe you're gonna fly with me
You gonna fly but you gonna fly
And you could be a black bird on the country street
Hiding from the world with a broken wing
But you better believe you're gonna fly with me
And you could be a songbird from New Orleans
Scared of the rain, you're so scared to sing
But you better believe, yeah, you better believe, baby
Oh, you could be a black bird on the country street
Hiding from the world with a broken wing
But you better believe you're gonna fly with me
Ooh, yeah, you could be a songbird from New Orleans
Scared of the rain, just as scared to sing
But you better believe you're gonna fly with me
You're gonna fly, you're gonna fly with me, baby
You better believe, my honey girl, oh yeah
Oh girl, you get to me in a way I can't believe
I need you and who knows where just friends ends
When you cross that line and love begins
In over my head and the water's turnin' blue
But what would I do without you
What would I do without you
Hearts never know the way they want to go and want to stay
We need two but in time you find the road
And though inside you know you've gotta go
The hardest part I find is you're all I ever knew
But what will I do without you
What will I do without you
I gotta break these habit chains I put on me
And be all that I can be, try and find what I need
Memories suspend in time, all the days when you were mine
And the chance I took to move, one I thought I'd never do
But I made it through without you
I made it through without you
From what would I do without you
To I made it through without you, without you
From what would I do without you
To I made it through without you, without you
From what would I do without you
To I made it through without you, without you
I've seen that darkness on the edge of town
The sun come up and the rain fall down
And I've been a fool, yeah I've been around
And when the world got too much for me
I took off and left a memory
Thinking I'd find something better for me somehow
Oh but now
Whenever I run
Instead of running into the blue
I follow my heart
And there in your arms
Is where I find the love I need
And the best is yet to come
Baby you're the one I run to
I used to quit when it got too tough
Throw in my cards when I was down on my luck
But baby you mean too much to me
So now
Whenever I run
Instead of running into the blue
I follow my heart
And there in your arms
Is where I find the love I need
And the best is yet to come
Baby you're the one I run to
I never could stay in one place too long
I never could stand that still
Ah but you changed so much in me
And now I know I will
I'm gonna stay where the love is right
I'm so tired of being a bird in flight
Good love takes work
Ah but that's alright
That's alright
Whenever I run
Instead of running into the blue
I follow my heart
And there in your arms
Is where I find the love I need
And the best is yet to come
You're the only one
Instead of running into the blue
I follow my heart
And there in your arms
That's where I find the love I need
And the best is yet to come
Baby you're the one I run to
The one I run to
I'm livin' in a world that won't stop pullin' on me
I'm not complaining but it's true
It's like I owe my time to everyone else
'Cause that's all I seem to do
You might not notice but I need a good friend
Someone to talk to when I'm down, down, down
There's so much on my mind that I want to get out
But there's no one around
Sometimes I can't help thinkin' what about me
Some days go by that I don't even see
Yeah I'm doing everything right and I can't break free
Oh is this the way it's always gonna be
What about me
Well I'm dreamin' I'm on a highway with the windows down
I'm burnin' up the road at my own speed
But I'm stuck here goin' nowhere in this traffic jam
And there's a woman with her kids in the car next to me
And I swear she's singin'
Sometimes I can't help thinkin' what about me
Some days go by that I don't even see
Yeah I'm doing everything right and I can't break free
Is this the way it's always gonna be
Hey, what about me
Oh, sometimes I can't help thinkin' what about me
Some days go by that I don't even see
I'm doing everything right and I can't break free
Oh is this the way it's always gonna be
What about me
Ooo what about me
Well, she was precious like a flower
She grew wild, wild but innocent
A perfect prayer in a desperate hour
She was everything beautiful and different
Stupid boy, you can't fence that in
Stupid boy, it's like holdin' back the wind
She laid her heart and soul right in your hands
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans
She never even knew she had a choice and that's what happens
When the only voice she hears is telling her she can't
Stupid boy, stupid boy
So what made you think you could take a life
And just push it, push it around?
I guess to build yourself up so high
You had to take her and break her down
Well, she laid her heart and soul right in your hands
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans
She never even knew she had a choice and that's what happens
When the only voice she hears is telling her she can't
You stupid boy, oh, you always had to be right
But now you lost the only thing
That ever made you feel alive
Yeah, yeah
Well, she laid her heart and soul right in your hands, yeah
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans, yes, you did
She never even knew she had a choice and that's what happens
When the only voice she hears is telling her she can't
You stupid boy
Oh, I'm the same old, same old stupid boy
It took a while for her to figure out
She could run but when she did
She was long gone, long gone
She's gone
Long gone
Yeah she is now
Yeah, ohh
On and on [incomprehensible]
She loved me, she loved me, she loved me
God, please, doesn't matter no
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry baby
Yeah, I don't believe
Well, I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wondering if I'll get down the stairs
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
Stuck in the middle with you
Well, I'm stuck in the middle with you
And I'm wondering what is I should do
It's so hard to wipe this smile from my face
Lose control and I'm all over the place
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
Well, you started out with nothing
And you're proud you're a self-made man
And your friends they all come crawling
Slap you on the back and say, "Please, please"
Well, I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wondering if I'll get down the stairs
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you
Here I am, here I am
Out on the street corner
Just like every morning I sit here
And I watch you walk my way
And even though I don’t know you
As you get closer I swear I feel
My heart start racing, aching
Maybe it’s in my mind
And maybe I’m only dreaming
And I swear you catch my eye
As you walk on by
Oh why you gotta leave me so blue
Baby why can’t you see
That I’m the only one for you
You could search the world over
But you’ll never find another so true
Cause if you’re looking for love
I’m standing right in front of you
I bet your heart, like mine
Has been broken by someone
We never should have given it to (oh no)
So we put up a wall to keep from falling so hard
It’s so sad
Cause there’s such good love inside
And I’ve been hoping that I might find
Someone who feels the same way
Someone to share my life
On this beautiful ride together
We could see it all through
Baby why can’t you see
That I’m the only one for you
You could search the world over
But you’ll never find another so true
Cause if you’re looking for love
I’m standing right in front of you
So this morning I’m just going to walk up and say hello to you
Cause if given a choice between love and being alone
I know which one
I know which one I choose
And give me a chance
I’d be a better man for you (I believe I would)
And open your heart girl
Let me make your dreams come true
You can search the world over
But I can take it to the moon
Cause if you’re looking for love
I’m standing right in front of you (yes I am)
Standing right in front of you
Open your eyes, I’m standing right in front of you
Just give me a chance baby
There's a new wind blowin' like I've never known
I'm breathin' deeper than I've ever done
And it sure feels good, to finally feel the way I do
Now, I wanna love somebody
Love somebody like you
An' I'm lettin' go of all my lonely yesterdays
I've forgiven myself for the mistakes I've made
Now there's just one thing, the only thing I wanna do, mmm, mmm
I wanna love somebody
Love somebody like you
Yeah, I wanna feel the sunshine
Shinin' down on me and you
When you put your arms around me
You let me know there's nothing in this world I can't do
I used to run in circles goin' no-where fast
I'd take, uh, one step forward and two steps back
Couldn't walk a straight line even if I wanted to, mmm, mmm
I wanna love somebody
Love somebody like you
Whoa here we go now
Yeah, I wanna feel the sunshine
Shinin' down on me and you
When you put your arms around me
Well, baby there ain't nothing in this world I can't do
Sometimes it's hard for me to understand
But you're teachin' me to be a better man
I don't want to take this life for granted like I used to do, no, no
I wanna love somebody
Love somebody like you
I'm ready to love somebody
Love somebody like you, ooh
An' I wanna love somebody
Love somebody like you, yeah
Oh yeah oh, I wanna be the man in the middle of the night
Shinin' like it's true
I wanna be the man that you run to whenever I call on you
When everything that loved someone finally found it's way
Wanna be a better man, I see it in you, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
It's getting to the point we're not even listening anymore
We're just walking 'round in circles and wearing holes out in the floor
And I'm tired; I know you're tired and it's late,
Yeah it's almost four.
What are we trying to achieve, baby?
What are we trying to win?
I said the same thing three hours ago,
And now I'm saying it again.
And I know you and I well enough to know,
Neither one of us is giving in!
[Chorus:]
Well baby, I love you I'm not going to bed angry,
And baby, I need you, I want you to be happy,
We've been going around in circles with no end in sight!
Maybe we should just...
Shut off the lights,
And wait till the morning!
Shut off the lights,
Wait till the morning!
It's amazing all the old wounds we still carry around,
We wait to bring it all up when it all comes down.
Like it's coming right now!
[Chorus:]
And baby, I love you; I'm not going, baby,
Baby, I need you, I want you to be happy,
We've been going around in circles with nowhere to stop!
Baby if we just...
Shut off the lights,
And wait till the morning!
Shut off the lights,
Wait till the morning!
Cause I don't wanna lose you,
And I don't wanna hate you,
I don't wanna feel like a...
So much for never makin' the same mistake
I can't believe I'm here again
So much for ever thinkin' that I could change
My good intentions still remain in chains
She's gotta be over me now
Probably moved on with her life
Found someone she knows she can believe
God I would give anything if I could just go back again
And be the man she needed me to be
I thought I was a hero
I played him well
He saves the day but not himself
I acted out the lover
My finest part
Had all the lines but not the heart
Now look where we are
Be the man that she could trust, who put her first
Who tamed his demons, who healed her hurts
In health and sickness, who helped her grow
With no resentment, true repentance, God as my witness
She needed me to be
She needed me to be, oh
Whoa, hallelujah
Your smiles they don't come easy
Like they used to come before
The awkwardness and boredom
Is scattered out across the floor
I can feel your love waxin' and wanin'
And a quick look in your eyes needs no explainin'
I'm out on my own
Livin' alone
I'm an old reluctant gypsy
I don't like campin' anymore
And the dreams and disappointments
Scatter out across the floor
I'm nervous on this train I feel it derailin'
And I can read the letters that nobody's mailin'
I'm out on my own
Livin' alone yeah
Somethin' deep inside of me
Must have died some time ago
I haven't called no place my home
Since nineteen-ninety-four
I'm out on my own
Thirty-somethin' single
And tired of runnin' everywhere
And I can wear a welcome out
When I ain't even there
I'm nervous on this train I feel it derailin'
And I can read the letters that nobody's mailin'
I'm out on my own
Livin' alone I'm livin' alone
And I got nowhere to go
Look at me I'm out on my own
I'm out on my own
But it's gonna be all right now
It's gonna be all right
It's gonna be all right
Well, I know there's a reason
And I know there's a rhyme
We were meant to be together
And that's why
We can roll with the punches
We can stroll hand in hand
And when I say it's forever
You understand
That you're always in my heart
You're always on my mind
But when it all becomes too much
You're never far behind
And there's no one
That comes close to you
Could ever take your place
'Cause only you can love me this way
I could have turned a different corner
I could have gone another place
Then I'd of never had this feeling
That I feel today, yeah
And you're always in my heart
Always on my mind
When it all becomes too much
You're never far behind
And there's no one
That comes close to you
Could ever take your place
'Cause only you can love me this way
And you're always in my heart
You're always on my mind
And when it all becomes too much
You're never far behind
And there's no one
That comes close to you
Could ever take your place
'Cause only you can love me this way
...Mm hmm
I can see it in your eyes
And feel it in your touch
I know that you're scared
But you've never been this loved (mm hmm)
It's a long shot, baby,
I know it's true.
But if anyone can make it,
I'm bettin' on me and you. (mm hmm)
Just keep on moving into me,
I know you're gonna see
The best is yet to come
And don't fear it now,
We're going all the way.
That sun is shining on a brand new day.
It's a long way down
And it's a leap of faith
But we're never giving up
Cuz i know we've got a once in a lifetime love
Everybody's looking
For what we've found
Some wait their whole life
And it never comes around. (uu huhh)
So don't hold back now.
Just let go of all you've ever known
You can put your hand in mine.
And don't fear it now,
We're going all the way.
That sun is shining on a brand new day.
It's a long way down
And it's a leap of faith
But we're never giving up
Cuz i know we've got a once in a lifetime love
I close my eyes and i see you standing right there
Sayin 'i do' and they're throwing the rice in our hair.
Well the first one's born
And a brother comes along,
And he's got your smile.
I've been looking back on the life we had
I'm still by your side.
So don't fear it now,
We're going all the way.
That sun is shining on a brand new day.
It's a long way down
And it's a leap of faith
But I'm never givin up
You brought that bottle home in a paper sack
Drew the blinds and locked the doors
And there's nothing but empty there inside that glass
So you pour a little more
And there's no one there to judge you
At least that's what you tell yourself, but
Don't you know
Nobody drinks alone
Every demon, every ghost
From your past
And every memory you've held back
Follows you home
Nobody drinks alone
You remember whiskey on your daddy's breath
So you always stick to wine
And you scared your little brother half to death
You just kept it all inside
You can hear your mama cryin'
Only now she cries for you, and
Don't you know
Nobody drinks alone
Every demon, every ghost
From your past
And every memory you've held back
Follows you home
Nobody drinks alone
Though you're lonely
Hey don't you let that feelin' fool ya
You spun your web back a Sunday or two
I ain't never met nobody
Like the likes of you
You got me preachin' the news
You turned down my road and decided to stay
And I took a shine to your hair
And your hillbillly ways
And how you kiss on my face
I got a bone deep feelin'
You're the start of the good ole days
Well I still remember
You came by my trailer
With chicken and some homemade wine
The dogs got to barkin'
When we got the sparkin'
We almost set the house on fire
Well I got a big heapin' helpin'
Of the stuff I get a hankerin' for
But honey your homespun love
Just keeps me comin' back for more
I like the flamingos you stuck in your yard
And I like the notions you stick in my head and my heart
Yeah and how you fix on my car
Well if you ever said goodbye
I wouldn't waste none of my time cryin'
I wouldn't sit home alone wondering where I went wrong
I'd be rocking on outta here
Baby faster than a rolling tear
Ain't no grass gonna grow under me when you're gone no
I won't stay down for long
Chorus:
I'd hit the ground
I'd hit the ground running
I know exactly what I'd do honey
I'd hit the ground
I'd hit the ground running
I'd hit the ground running after you yeah
Only stoppin' long enough
For a couple things I gotta pick up
Like some pretty red flowers and a store bought card
That say what I really feel
That I need you and I always will
And the three little words that used to come hard
Then I'd jump in back in my car then
Chorus:
There ain't no doubt
I ain't that proud
There ain't no doubt about what I'd do
I'd hit the ground
Hit the ground
I'd hit the ground running after you, yes I would
So If you gotta go baby I won't stop you
And I won't sit around and miss you, no no no
Cause if you leave I'm coming with you
I'm coming with you baby
Chorus:
There ain't no doubt
I ain't that proud
There ain't no doubt about what I'd do
I'd hit the ground
I'd hit the ground
Well I can't believe I'm sittin' here today
Picking on my banjo with a big smile on my face
Writin' new words to an old school melody
Hey there ain't no doubt that God's been good to me
Oh the sun is shinin' on down in Tennessee
And right now where I'm right where I wanna be
I've never felt so loved, so peaceful and so free
Hey there ain't no doubt that God's been good to me
'Cause he put me smack dab in the middle of Paradise
In the heart of the city where my dreams have come alive
And everything I have, and everything I see
Is just another reminder that God's been good to me
This golden road's been long
And sometimes I've lost my way
I've been down some darkened detours
Leanin' heavy on my faith
But where the devil had me chained
Lord your love done set me free
Well, all I saw was smoke and fire...
I didn't feel a thing.
But suddenly I was rising higher...
And I felt like I just made... the biggest mistake.
When I thought about my unborn child...
When I thought about my wife...
And the answer rang out CLEAR from somewhere up above
No greater gift has man, then to lay down his life for Love.
And I wondered, would I give my life?
Could I make that sacrifice?
If it came down to it, could I take the bullet... I would
Yes I would, For You
Baby, you don't understand... I don't understand it all myself.
But there's a Brother on my left and another on my right
And in his pocket just like mine... he's got a photograph.
And they're waitin' for him back home.
And it's weighing on my mind...
I'm not trying to be the hero... I don't wanna to die...
But right now, in this moment, you don't think twice.
I wondered, would I give my life?
Could I make that sacrifice?
If it came down to it, could I take the bullet... I would
Yes I would...
You don't think about right.
You don't think about wrong.
You just do what you gotta do... to defend your own.
And I'd do the same... for you, yes I would... yes I would.
And I would give my life... I would make that sacrifice.
Cause if it came down to it, could I take the bullet, I would.
Yes, I would, I'd do it for you... I'd do it for you.
So here you are now, nowhere to turn
It's just the same old yesterday
And you made a promise to yourself
That you were never gonna be this way
And the only thing that you've ever known is to run
So you keep on drivin' faster into the sun
But everybody needs somebody sometimes
Yeah, everybody needs somebody sometimes
You don't have to find your own way out
You've got a voice, let it be heard
Just when it feels you're on a dead-end road
There's always somewhere left to turn
So don't give up now, you're so close to a brand new day, yes, you are
And if you just can't bare to be alone then I'll stay
'Cause everybody needs somebody sometimes
Yeah, everybody needs somebody sometimes
Well, maybe I've been too caught up
To see what you've been going through
All that I can say is I'm here now
And everybody needs somebody sometimes, you know they do
Everybody needs somebody sometimes
Everybody needs somebody sometimes
Everybody needs somebody sometimes
Gotta have someone beside you
Gotta have someone beside you
Yes, you do, yes, you do, everybody
It's killin' me to write the word "goodbye"
I've wadded up and tossed a thousand tries
We both know the reason
There ain't nothing to explain
But I know that my leavin'
Will spare us both the pain
Desiree I can't hold you any longer
Desiree you love his money more than me
And the taxi's at the gate
I guess all that's left to say
Is in teardrops at the bottom of the page
"I love you Desiree"
It'd be easier to leave if I were mad
But it's hard to lose the best you'll ever have
And to write this note to you
Was the hardest thing to do
But not as hard as bein' a poor boy
Who can't afford a girl like you
God, I love you Desiree
But I just can't take it anymore
I won't be around for your goodbye
I won't be around for your goodbye
You love his money more than me
I won't be around for your goodbye
You love his money more than me
I won't be around for your goodbye
Oh you love his money, you love it more than me
I was just a fool who couldn't see
Last night I fell asleep, and I saw you dancing in my dreams,
Just like the way the Autumn leaves fall for you.
All for you.
You changed my life, you changed my ways.
I don't even recognize myself these days.
It must be a reflection of you.
Only you.
(Chorus)
I can't remember feeling love like this i'm so alive.
I can't imagine living life without you by my side.
Day after day you find a way to make this grown man cry.
It's so true, I'm all for you.
My arms could hold you tight, keep you warm in the coldest night.
My hand would pull your hair right back away from your eyes.
For you. Only you.
If I knew how to do it,
I'd paint the moon, the stars around you.
Paint the perfect sunset.
But I couldn't make it more beautiful than you.
Oh, nothing compares to you.
You know it's true.
(Chorus)
I can't remember feeling love like this im so alive.
I can't imagine living life without you by my side.
Day after day you find a way to make this grown man cry.
It's so true, I'm all for you.
(Chorus)
I can't remember feeling love like this in so long.
I can't imagine living life without you by my side.
Day after day you find a way to make this grown man cry.
Some might call it insanity.
Without a doubt for the rest of my life,
I'm going to be crazy.
Baby, crazy for you.
All for you.
The cards are stacking up against us
These days our luck is running low
It's hard to explain but a little bit of rain
Seems to follow us wherever we go
Black cat sittin' on a ladder
Broken mirror on the wall
We're not a bit superstitious
No need to worry at all
'Cause when we can't roll a seven
And our last lucky penny is gone
This world can be tough
But I know when our love is this strong
We can make a little luck of our own, luck of our own
The storm is only temporary
But you and I are here to stay
Baby can't you see true love is all we need
So just throw that rabbit's foot away
'Cause when we can't roll a seven
And our last lucky penny is gone
This world can be tough
But I know when our love is this strong
We can make a little luck of our own
Oh we can make it baby
'Cause when we can't roll a seven
And our last lucky penny is gone
This world can be tough
But I know our love is this strong
We can make a little luck of our own
We can make a little luck of our own
Yeah, yeah
Oooh we can make it baby
