The sound of your voice, the touch of your skin
If we go there it will start all over again
So don't even call, there's no need for checking in
If it's really over, let it just be over
No, we won't be sharing coffee
Or having lunch from time to time
I won't ask about your family
Please don't ask about mine
This is never what I wanted
And it's killing me to say
It just has to be this way
We gave all we could, we fought the good fight
But no matter how we loved, we just couldn't get it right
It hurts to let go, but it's harder hangin' on
I don't want it to be over, we know that it's over
No, we won't be sharing coffe
Or having lunch from time to time
I won't ask about your family
Please don't ask about mine
This is never what I wanted
And it's killing me to say
It just has to be this way
And even if I change my mind
Don't let me hurt me one more time
Stay away from me, be as cold as you can be
No, we won't be sharing coffe
Or having lunch from time to time
I won't ask about your family
Please don't ask about mine
This is never what I wanted
And it's killing me to say
It just has to be this way
Oh, it just has to be this way
I wake up one morning and it's passed you by.
Don't know when and you don't know why.
I feel like an old memory hangin' round.
An' man, you've got to face it, it's a young man's town.
I knew this day was comin' all along.
Some why bitch an' moan and say they done you wrong.
Just teach 'em what you know an' pass it on down,
'Cause man, you gotta face it, it's a young man's town.
It's a young man's town,
Full of young man's dreams.
An' all God's children gotta learn to spread their wings.
An' sometimes you gotta stand back,
An' watch 'em burn it to the ground,
Even though you built it, it's a young man's town.
You always seem to be the last to know.
Man, that's just the way that the story goes.
There's nothin' you can do when the fields have turned brown.
An' man, you gotta face it, it's a young man's town.
It's a young man's town,
Full of young man's dreams.
An' all God's children gotta learn to spread their wings.
An' sometimes you gotta stand back,
An' watch 'em burn it to the ground.
An' even though you built it, it's a young man's town.
Sometimes you gotta stand back,
An' watch 'em burn it to the ground.
Even though you built it, it's a young man's town.
It's a young man's town.
No man ever sounded so lonesome
No man ever made you feel such pain
Lord, it must have been a real mean bottle
That made you sing that way
The stories you told about prison
About a young man gone astray
Lord, it must have been a real mean bottle
That made you write the songs that way
A real mean bottle poured straight from the devil
It's a miracle you're standin' here today
A real mean bottle made you such a rebel
Must've been a real mean bottle made you sing that way
You spent most all your life with strangers
With a ramblin' fever in your veins
Hag, it must have been a real mean bottle
That made you play the blues that way
A real mean bottle poured straight from the devil
It's a miracle you're standin' here today
A real mean bottle made you such a rebel
It must've been a real mean bottle made you sing that way
A real mean bottle poured straight from the devil
Everyt ime I look into the mirror
I swear that I don't see the things you do
You say it couldn't be any clearer
And all I can see is me without you
Chorus:
Without you trying to change me
With you trying to take me
And turn me into someone you once knew
Without you trying to make me
Without you trying to break me
All I can see is me without you
When you slipped that little ring around my finger
you smiled and said your wilder days are through
Well, I've got a real bad case of rambling fever
And all I can see is me without you
Chorus x 2
All I can see is me without you
CHORUS:
When I look into your heart
I see us holding each other
I can finally see forever
When I look into your heart
I've seen the moon dance on the waters
Watched the morning sun slip through the trees
But the sight of you is the vision
That takes me to my knees
REPEAT CHORUS
I've never known such comfort
I've never felt such release
I've never felt so connected
I've never know such peace
REPEAT CHORUS
I can finally see forever
When I look into your heart
A little girl was cryin'
for her mama and her daddy
She couldn't understand why they were gone
She never knew the danger
Of talking to a stranger
Now the girl can't find her way back home
A little boy went walkin'
Down to the corner market
To buy a loaf of bread and an ince cream cone
He never knew the dnager
Of talkin' to a stranger
Now the boy can't find the way back home
Chorus:
Too many kids are missin'
Is anybody listening?
Won't you be the children's eyes
They're all alone
The hardest part's not knowing
Where they are or where they're going
Won't you help the children find
The way back home
The faces on milk cartons
Thrown away and soon forgotten
What if one of those sweet kids
Was your very own
Tonight those kids are weeping
While yours are safely sleeping
Won't you help the children find
The way back home
Chorus
Won't you help the children find
The way back home
Let there be peace on earth
and let it begin with me.
Let there be peace on earth
the peace that was meant to be.
With Earth as our mother
sisters all are we.
Let me walk with my sister
in perfect harmony.
Let peace begin with me
let this be the moment now.
With every step i take
let this be my solemn vow.
To take each moment
and live each moment
with peace eternally.
Let ther be peace on earth,
and let it begin with me.
(child)
Let there be peace on earth
and let it begin with me.
Let there be peace on earth
the peace that was meant to be.
With earth as our mother
sisters all are we.
Let me walk with my sister
in perfect harmony.
Let peace begin with me
let this be the moment now.
With every step I take
let this be my solemn vow.
To take each moment
and live each moment
in peace eternally.
Let there be peace on earth
and let it begin with me.
fade out...
Chorus:
You better turn me loose
Turn me loose you know that I can't stay
You better turn me loose
Well turn me loose you know I'll make it anyway
Well why don't you tell me
Just what's goin' on
Both of us lyin' here
And we both know it's wrong
So why don't you let me
Why don't you leave it alone
And don't keep hangin' on to a love that's dead and gone
Chorus
Well you can't see it's over
That's really a shame
Well our love didn't make it
No one's to blame
So why don't we say goodbye
Why don't we just say we're through
And I'll be on my way
And I'll get by without you
Chorus X 2
Turn me loose you know I'll make it anyway
Is today my lucky day
Are you gonna look my way
And see true love
If you're not sure he holds your heart
Don't let pride keep us apart
You need true love
Chorus:
True love is all I'm after
I long to hear your laughter
The only thing that matters
Is it's true love
It's true love
I hear your voice in every sound
You're never there when I turn around
I need true love
I can't quit and I won't give in
Until you're back in my arms again
We need true love
Chorus
When I look at you You look right through me
I wish you knew
What your love's done to me
Is today my lucky day
Are you gonna look my way
And see true love
Yeah...
Chorus
It's true love (repeat to fade)
(Vince Gill / Pete Wasner)
Baby, let's just say farewell
Baby, let's just both give in
No, it's not too hard to tell
The walls are closin' in
Oh, it's time to say goodbye
And put this in the past
Even though I know we tried
To save the best for last
Chorus:
I guess nothin' stays the same
Still the memories remain
We need all the sweet forgiveness we can find
There's a sadness in the wind
Oh, I wish you well my friend
Only time will mend these broken hearts again
I don't know what's left to say
I don't know where we went wrong
When I watch you walk away
I'll miss you when you're gone
Baby, shed a tear for me
And I'll she da tear for you
Oh, let's set this heartache free
And in time we'll make it through, well
Chorus
There's a sadness in the wind
Oh, I wish you well my friend
Only time will mend these broken hearts again
Well, it ain't hard to see you've got the blues
Come hold on to me, and I'll comfort you
A pretty little angel with a heavy heart
Well, tryin' to carry on is the hardest part
Chorus:
Love will fool ya, it'll do you wrong
Shout hallelujah when the clouds are gone
'Cause you know pretty baby, the sun's gonna shine on you
The sun's gonna shine on you
I miss that little sparkle on your face
That pretty little smile that has been replaced
Have a little faith, baby just be still
'Cause things are gonna be just the way they will
Chorus:
Love will fool ya, it'll do you wrong
Shout hallelujah when the clouds are gone
'Cause you know pretty baby, when you ain't lookin'
The sun's gonna shine on you
The sun's gonna shine on you
Chorus:
Love will fool ya, it'll do you wrong
Shout hallelujah when the clouds are gone
'Cause you know pretty baby, when you ain't lookin'
And you ain't ready, the sun's gonna shine on you
The sun's gonna shine on you
Is today my lucky day
Are you gonna look my way
And see true love
If you're not sure he holds your heart
Don't let pride keep us apart
You need true love
Chorus:
True love is all I'm after
I long to hear your laughter
The only thing that matters
Is it's true love
It's true love
I hear your voice in every sound
You're never there when I turn around
I need true love
I can't quit and I won't give in
Until you're back in my arms again
We need true love
Chorus
When I look at you You look right through me
I wish you knew
What your love's done to me
Is today my lucky day
Are you gonna look my way
And see true love
Yeah...
Chorus
It's true love (repeat to fade)
THE CHRISTMAS SONG
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots, with their eyes all aglow,
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
That friend of mine wears an old work shirt
For a long long time she has blessed this earth
And a smile that shines even when she hurts
Oh how I love that friend of mine
That friend of mine gave her heart to me
How sweet and kind, oh the truth can be
And God's tie that binds us as family
Oh how I love that friend of mine
She's an angel, she's the answer
The sweetest piece of heaven in my eyes
And she's drawn to me like gravity
I'd lay down and die for that friend of mine
She's an angel, she's the answer
The sweetest piece of heaven in my eyes
She's drawn to me like gravity
I'd lay down and die for that friend of mine
I'd lay down and die for that friend of mine
That friend of mine wears an old work shirt
Tell me lover, tell me what you're gonna do
You gonna walk the walk or just talk the talk
Honey, what's up with you
Chorus:
Tell me lover, tell me how it's gonna be
You gonna mess around or just turn me down
Honey, won't you please tell me
Your good intentions ain't too good no more
You answer questions by slammin' that bedroom door
Come on baby let's turn the lamp down low
I'll solve your problems so honey please don't go
If the silence could kiill, honey we'd both be dead
It ain't hard to tell we're hangin' on by a thread
Say somethin' darlin' say what's on your mind We'll find the answer, I got nothin' but time
I can read the writing on the wall
You pretend that nothing's changed at all
I've got just one thing to ask you if it's so
Just take your memory with you when you go
So I won't have to think about
The lonely nights I'll be without
Someone to hold me when the cold wind blows
Take your memory with you when you go
I walk the floor and wonder what went wrong
I'll have to find a way to carry on
Why don't you leave before the heartache starts to show
Take your memory with you when you go
So I won't have to think about
The lonely nights I'll be without
Someone to hold me when the cold wind blows
Take your memory with you
So I won't have to miss you
Take your memory with you when you go
Looking back over the years
Of all the things I've always meant to say
But the words didn't come easily
So many times through empty fears
Of all the nights I tried to pick up the phone
So scared of who might be answering
You try to live your life from day to day
But seeing you across the room tonight
Just gives me away
Chorus:
Cause the heart won't lie
Sometimes life gets in the way
But there's one thing that won't change
I know I've tried
The heart won't lie
You can live your alibi
Who can see you're lost inside a foolish disguise
The heart won't lieLong after tonight
Will you still hear my voice through the radio
Old desires make us act carelessly
Long after tonight, after the fire
After the scattered ashes fly
Through the four winds blown and gone
Will you come back to me
You try to love your life from day to day
But seeing you across the room tonight
Just gives me away
Repeat Chorus
I walk down these lonely streets and try to find you
In all the same old places we used to go
And the old friends that I meet still ask about you
They tell me if I see you say hello
Say hello to the arms that used to hold me
Hold me close when those chilly winds would blow
Say hello to the lips that used to kiss me
And whisper in my ear I love you so
I remember the night when I first met you
I knew that I could never let you go
Now I can't find a way to forget you
I'd give anything to hear you say hello
Say hello to the arms that used to hold me
Hold me close when those chilly winds would blow
Say hello to the lips that used to kiss me
And whisper in my ear I love you so
I saw an old lover
Today on the street
She said do you remember
How we used to be
On fire with that passion
We'd burn down those nights
No I haven't forgotten
How we used to fight
I finally got married
Settled on down
Yeah she's a preachers daughter
In a sleepy little town
She'd make you laugh
Since we said goodbye
No she aint that funny
But she never makes me cry
she never makes me cry like you used to
Theres nothing about her that reminds me of you
I promise I dont see your face when I look in her eyes
And she never makes me cry
Does she makes you beg
for her love in the night
no she aint that selfish
And she never makes me cry
she never makes me cry like you used to
Theres nothing about her that reminds me of you
I promise I dont see your face when I look in her eyes
she never makes me wonder when she's coming home
There's something about her like I've never known
It's been nice to see you but now i must say goodbye
she never makes me cry
she never makes me cry
no no
Do you ever think of me
When you lay your head down
Do you ever think of me
When he ain't around
Do you ever wonder why
Our love couldn't be
Ever since you said goodbye
Do you ever think of me
Chorus:
Savannah
The memory just won't fade
Savannah
I sure wish you'd stayed with me
Savannah
Do you ever see my face
In your new lover's eyes
Has my memory been erased
Am I out of your life
I still remember our first night
We made love so tenderly
So when he doesn't hold you right
Do you ever think of me
Chorus
If he ever lets you down
Happiness just can't be found
I'll still be here hangin' 'round
Savannah
Savannah
(Do you ever think of me)
... repeat to fade
You don't need diamonds or big fancy cars
You say your happy right where you are
We're bound together by a little gold band
You're my kind of woman
Oh, you're my kind of man
Oh living without you is my only fear
You still drive me crazy when I hold you near
My body trembles with each touch of your hand
You're my kind of woman
Oh, you're my kind of manChorus:
You're my kind of woman
You're my kind of man
A match made in heaven
By God's gentle hands
I'll love you forever
Together we'll stand
You're my kind of woman
You're my kind of man
(Repeat chorus)
(Vince Gill/Reed Nielsen)
There's a long white line stretching out on the road ahead
And there ain't one magazine that I ain't read
I haven't seen you in weeks but I hear you on the radio
Singing soft and low
We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on
There never seems to be time for me and you
That's a price you pay for the life you choose
Tonight's the loneliest night I've ever known
It just goes on and on
We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on
It does my heart good to see you shine
So I'll just keep on counting these white lines
I haven't seen you in weeks but I hear you on the radio
Calling me back home
We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on
We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on
We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on
Sunrise through the evergreens
Another day is born
The hills take on a golden glow
A Carolina morn
I used to see you in her eyes
Now I've just got to know
Oh Carolina, how could you let her go?
Oh Carolina, if I'd only known
Oh Carolina, I would have never gone
I thought the beauty of your hills
Would hold her here for me
I never dreamed while I was gone
You'd ever set her free
I trusted you with all my heart
And the only love I've known
Oh Carolina, how could you let her go?
Oh Carolina, well if I'd only known
Oh Carolina, I would have never gone
Oh Carolina, if I'd only known
Oh Carolina, well I would have never gone
oh come all ye faithful joyful and triumphant oh come ye oh come ye to bethlahem come and adore him he the king of angels oh come let us adore him oh come let us adore him oh come let us adore him christ the lord.
I lie here tonight in the darkness
I've never felt so alone
Tomorrow I'll wake up still lonesome
'Cause things haven't changed since you've gone.
You walked out with angry words spoken
Your leavin' cut right to the bone
I'll pick up the pieces you have broken
Find the strength to go on.
I still remember my arms once held her
How long do old memories last
Why can't I forget it, why can't I admit it
There ain't no future in the past.
--- Instrumental ---
I still remember my arms once held her
How long do old memories last
Why can't I forget it, why can't I admit it
There ain't no future in the past.
Why can't I forget it, why can't I admit it
Vince Gill & Patrick Williams
O Little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by.
Yet in the dark street shineth
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight.
For christ is born of mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love.
O morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God our King
Vince Gill & Patrick Williams
O holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear saviours birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining.
Till he appeared and the soul felt it worth
A thrill of hope the weary soul rejoices
For younder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees.
O hear the angles voices
O night divine, o night when Christ was born
O night, O holy night, O night divine
No other lover ever really cared
When I've reached out for you you've always been there
Now I'm so far away and baby I'm scared
I never knew lonely til you
You are my rock and the strength I need
To keep me sane in this life that I lead
Now I'm not with you and my broken heart bleeds
I never knew lonely til you
I never knew lonely could be so blue
I never knew lonely could tear you in two
I never loved someone like I love you
I never knew lonely til youI can't make up for the times I've been gone
But I'll prove I love you in the words of this song
Back in your arms girl it's where I belong
I never knew lonely til you
I never knew lonely could be so blue
I never knew lonely could tear you in two
I never loved someone like I love you
I never knew lonely til you
Stars are falling from your eyes
You don't feel what I feel inside
Your hand is warm but your heart is cold
If you're hurtin' you don't let it show
How much longer can we go on
Actin' like there's nothin' wrong
How much farther can we drift apart
Before all the feeling is gone
Chorus:
I'm losing your love
It's slippin' away
Minute by minute
Day by day
losing your love
Don't you think I know
It's a matter of time
'Til you let go
I see the moon shinin' up above
Reminded me how good it was
There's a chill comin' over me
Why can't it be like it used to be
I feel so helpless, I can't make you stay
No matter how hard I try
I can't deny that look in your eyes
Tryin' to tell me goodbye
Chorus
Don't let go
Don't let go
Don't let go
Don't let go
Well, I've got to stop livin' the way I do
Give my heart back to you
All those nights away from home
Caused my lonely heart to roam
Now, I've got start livin' the way I do
I've spent a lifetime hurting you
And I expect someday you'll say we're through
It ain't too late for me to change
So please, don't write our final page
Still I've got to stop livin' the way I do
I've gone from honeymoons to heartaches
From faithful love to a fool
From hangin' out in honkey tonks
With any girl but you
Well, I've got to stop livin' the way I do
And give my heart back to you
All those nights away from home
Caused my lonely heart to roam
Now, I've got to stop livin' the way I do
I've said all that I can say
But you turned and walked away
What child is this
that lay to rest
on Mary's lap is sleeping
Whom Angels greet with anthem sweet
and shepard's watch are keeping
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepards guard
and Angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him love
The babe, the son of Mary
So bring him incence, gold and merth
Come peasants king to honor him
The King of Kings salvation brings
and loving arms enthrone him
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepards guard
and Angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him love
The babe, the son of Mary
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepards guard
and Angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him love
There you go now baby
Here am I well you
Let me here so I could
Sit and cry
Golly gee what have you
Done to me
Well I guess it doesn't matter anymore
Do you remember baby
Last September, how you
Held me tight
Each and every night
Ooh how you
Drove me crazy
Well I guess it doesn't matter anymore
Chorus: There's no use in me a cryin' and I've
Done everything and now I'm sick of tryin'
I've thrown away my nights
Wasted all my days over you
Now you go your way baby
And I'll go mine
Now and forever
'Til the end of time
Well I find somebody new baby
We'll say we're through
And you won't matter anymore
Chorus
Now you go your way baby
And I'll go mine
Now and forever
'Til the end of time
Well I find somebody new baby
We'll say we're through
And you won't matter anymore
You won't matter anymore
You won't matter anymore
If you're gonna play the jukebox
Would you kindly keep it country?
'Cause I'm feelin' so lonely tonight
Oh, please play a sad song
'Bout a heart that's just been stepped on
Would you kindly keep it country
For me tonight?
I'd get up off this bar stool
If you'd play something we could dance to
A song about a love that's gone astray
Oh, I love to hear 'em sing
'Bout the misery and pain
Would you kindly keep it country
For me tonight?
Oh, please play a sad song
'Bout a heart that's just been stepped on
Would you kindly keep it country
For me tonight?
Would you kindly keep it country
(Vince Gill)
It's time to pack our bags and hit the highway
And head on out for christmas holiday
I'll fall apart when I pull in the driveway
It's my first time home since brother passed away.
His favorite time of year was always Christmas
We'll reminisce about the days gone by
Oh, how I wish that he was still here with us
My memories of him will never die.
When the stockings are hung
Silent night has been sung
And Christmas is finally here
It won't be the same this year.
--- Instrumental ---
Losin' my big brother hurt so badly
It's helped me learn what Christmas really means
There's nothing more important then your family
We're all the children of the king of kings.
When the stockings are hung
Silent night has been sung
And Christmas is finally here
It won't be the same this year.
When the stockings are hung
Silent night has been sung
And Christmas is finally here
[ with Rosanne Cash ]
If she'd only knew what I was thinking if she'd only knew what was in my head
Why can't she see my heart is breaking she'd be mine if it weren't for him
So many times I dreamed I had her I call her name when I lay down
Still I can't learn to live without her jealous heart is all I found
See your face would be my destiny now I won't take what you can give to me
This lonely place is all I hope to find if it weren't for him then you'd be mine
[ guitar ]
If he'd only knew what I was thinking if he'd only knew what was in my head
Why can't he see my heart is breaking he'd be mine if it weren't for him
You'd be mine if it weren't for him
I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
and presents on the tree
Christmas eve will find me
where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
if only in my dreams
Christmas eve will find me
where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
if only in my dreams
If only in my dreams...
(Amy Grant - Vince Gill)
Oh, if I had my way we'd love one another
And if I had my way we'd all live as brothers
There'd be no more fussing and fighting
No more hungry innocent dying
I'd make it all go away if I had my way.
Oh, if I had my way I'd carry your burden
And if I had my way no one would be hurtin'
There'd be no more hatred and lying
No more lonely little kids crying
I'd make it all go away if I had my way.
Maybe one day the walls will come down
If I had my way the lost would be found
Love will find a way
To turn everything around.
--- Instrumental ---
There'd be no more fussing and fighting
No more frightened little kids crying
I'll have a blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't mean a thing if you're not here with me
I'll have a blue Christmas, that's certain
And when that blue heartache starts hurtin'
You'll be doin' all right with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas
I'll have a blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't mean a thing if you're not here with me
I'll have a blue Christmas, that's certain
And when that blue heartache starts hurtin'
You'll be doin' all right with your Christmas of white
Whenever my soul is lonely
Whenever I'm feeling blue
I start thinkin' 'bout my blue eyed darlin'
And my heart starts pinin' for you
Chorus:
I wanna hear that high lonesome sound
Cause my sweet baby ain't around
When my life's got me down
I wanna hear that high lonesome sound
When I'm lost in this ocean of darkness
Not knowing which way I should turn
And my eyes are filled with sadness
Of knowing you'll never return
Everybody wants a little piece of my time
and still I put you at the end of the line
how it breaks my heart to cause you this pain
to see the tears you cry fallin like rain
Give me the chance to prove
and i'll make it up to you
I still believe in you
with a love that will always be
standin so strong and true
baby I still believe in you and me
somewhere along the way i guess i just lost track
Only thinking of myself never looking back
for all the times i've hurt you, I apologize
I'm sorry it took so long, for me to realize
give me the chance to prove
that nothing's worth losing you
I still believe in you
with a love that will always be
standing so strong and true
baby I still believe in you and me
baby i still believe in you
with a love that will always be
standin so strong and true
When I told my baby
Do what you wanna do
Well I had no idea
Just what she'd put me through
Every night she's runnin' 'round
Singin' songs in your hometown
there ain't no one to love me
When the sun goes down
Chorus:
Well, she's everybody's sweetheart
Everybody's sweetheart but mine
I shoulda kept her barefoot
Barefoot and pregnant all the time
I used to be the first in line
Now I've fallen way behind
She's everybody's sweetheart
Everybody's sweetheart but mine
All that country club money
Lord it sure looked good to me... yeah it did
Playin' golf with those fat cats
How much better could life be
They all think I've got it made
They see your face on every page
Of every magazine
Across the USA
Chorus
If you see her tell her hi
And everything will be all right
Tell her that I love her
'Til the day I die
Chorus
Come on home
(Vince Gill / Al Anderson)
There's nothin' like the feelin'
When you finally find someone
You're wastin' your time
Thinkin' the whole thing through
If you take her for granted
Man, it's gonna come undone
Don't wait another minute
'Cause she's in love with you
Chorus:
Don't let her get away
Don't let her get away
Don't let her get away
Well, every gun town would love
To be in your shoes
They've never seen a woman
Ever look so fine
They're all waitin' for the chance
To walk all over you
Son I'd have to tell
I'd be the first in line
Chorus
Any fool can see you've got it made
A love like this don't come around everyday
Chorus x 3
Don't let her get away
Baby dont go baby please dont go
Dont you leave me here feelin lonely
Dont you leave me here feelin low
All I know is what I know
And I know I love you so
Baby dont go baby please dont go
I wasnt ready for love to hit me
Hit me right between the eyes
One by one Im comin undone
Cant you feel my temperature rise
Well Ive got you where you want me
Right in the palm of your hand
Im gonna make you feel like a woman
Cause you make me feel like a man
REPEAT CHORUS
Lock your eyes right with me
Make time slow down to a crawl
Two hearts on fire with a wild desire
Climbin these bedroom walls
My heartbeats gettin stronger
Baby wont you rock me slow
I cant take it any longer
You got me shakin all the way to my toes
REPEAT CHORUS
We both went a little crazy
We both did each other wrong
Don't think it's too late baby
Don't think that all hope is gone
Chorus:
We need a little more love
To get us through the night
Just a little more love
And we'll be all right
It'd be easy to say it doesn't matter
To walk away and wish you the best
But I know we'd feel a whole lot better
If we tried a little tenderness
Let's put our differences aside
We can make it baby you and I
Let's give it just one more try
We can't let this thing die
Sing sweet and low a lullaby, till Angels say, "Amen"
A mother tonight is rocking a cradle in Bethlehem
While wise men follow through the dark, a star that beckons them
A mother tonight is rocking a cradle in Bethlehem
A little child shall lead them, the prophets said of old
Storm and tempest heed them until the bell is tolled
Sing sweet and low your lullaby, till angels say, "Amen"
A mother tonight is rocking a cradle in Bethlehem
You?ve got my number
And you?ve got my name
So why don?t you call me
Little Liza Jane?
You?ve got that body
And you?ve got that frame
So why don?t you call me
Little Liza Jane?
Girl, I got it bad for you
There ain?t nothin? I won?t do
Just one kiss and I?ll never be the same
Little Liza Jane, oh, little Liza Jane
Now you?ve heard my story
And you?ve got to know my name
So why don?t you call me
Little Liza Jane?
Girl, I got it bad for you
There ain?t nothin? I won?t do
Just one kiss and I?ll never be the same
Little Liza Jane, oh, little Liza Jane
I wake up one morning and it's passed you by
You don't know when and you don't know why
I feel like an old memory hangin' round
And man, we've got to face it, it's a young man's town
I knew this day was comin' all along
Some why bitch an' moan and say they done you wrong
Just teach 'em what you know and pass it on down
'Cause man, you gotta face it, it's a young man's town
It's a young man's town
Full of young man's dreams
And all God's children gotta learn to spread their wings
And sometimes you gotta stand back
And watch 'em burn it to the ground
Even though you built it, it's a young man's town
You always seem to be the last to know
Man, that's just the way that the story goes
There's nothin' you can do when the fields have turned brown
An' man, you gotta face it, it's a young man's town
It's a young man's town
Full of young man's dreams
And all God's children gotta learn to spread their wings
And sometimes you gotta stand back
And watch 'em burn it to the ground
Even though you built it, it's a young man's town
Sometimes you gotta stand back
And watch 'em burn it to the ground
Even though you built it, it's a young man's town
There's nothing quite as lonely
As a sky that turns to gray
Or a love that just starts dyin'
And slowly fades away
You we're my best companion
Now we lie silent in the dark
Why do you and me have to be
Worlds apart?
There's nothing quite as empty
As when children go away
And all that's left are memories
Of all those yesterdays
You can't understand the feeling
Till it finds its way to your heart
Why do you and me have to be
Worlds apart?
There's nothing quite as ugly
As two people full of hate
We'll all end up as equals
When we stand at Heaven's gate
Love is still the answer
It's the only place to start
Why do you and me have to be
Worlds apart?
Love is still the answer
It's the only place to start
Why do you and me have to be
I've got two lovers in my life now
A true love and one that's brand new
I'm not really sure that I know how
To love one and tell one we're through
I can't sleep at night, I toss and I turn
I keep losing sight of lessons I've learned
I'm standing at the crossroads with just one concern
Which bridge to cross and which bridge to burn
I knew this was wrong, I didn't listen
'Cause a heart only knows what feels right
Oh I need to reach a decision
And get on with the rest of my life
I can't sleep at night, I toss and I turn
I keep losing sight of lessons I've learned
I'm standing at the crossroads with just one concern
Which bridge to cross and which bridge to burn
I can't sleep at night, I toss and I turn
I keep losing sight of lessons I've learned
I'm standing at the crossroads with just one concern
Which bridge to cross and which bridge to burn
The face of an angel, pretty eyes that shine
I lie awake at night wishing you were mine
I'm standing here holding the biggest heartache in town
Whenever you come around
I get weak in the knees and I lose my breath
Oh I try to speak but the words won't come I'm so scared to death
And when you smile that smile, the world turns upside down
Whenever you come around
And I feel so helpless I feel just like a kid
What is it about you that makes me keep my feelings hid
I wish I could tell you, bu the words can't be found
Whenever you come around
I get weak in the knees and I lose my breath
Oh I try to speak but the words won't come I'm so scared to death
And when you smile that smile, the world turns upside down
Whenever you come around
I get weak in the knees and I lose my breath
Oh I try to speak but the words won't come I'm so scared to death
And when you smile that smile, the world turns upside down
Whenever you come around
And when you smile that smile
The whole world turns upside down
Whenever you come around
Whenever you come around
It's 6:05 a.m. on Sunday mornin'
And I was supposed to left for Memphis late last night
But I stopped at one of them old highway places
And 'cause I did, I'll sleep in Tarrant County Jail tonight
Well, I started out tonight with good intentions
But I ended up gettin' sideways drinkin' wine
Well, the last thing I remember we was rollin'
Somethin' hit my head and knocked me from my conscious mind
And I'm a victim of life's circumstances
Well, I was raised around bar rooms and Friday night dancers
Singin' them old country songs
And half the time ending up some place I don't belong, alright
I said, "Jailor, hey, what y'all got me charged with?"
Well, he looked at me and halfway closed one eye
Well, he said to me, ?To say, you don't remember
Cuttin' up some fool with that bone handled knife?"
And I'm a victim of life's circumstances
Well, I was raised around bar rooms and Friday night dancers
Singin' them old country songs
And half the time ending up some place I don't belong
And I'm a victim of life's circumstances
Well, I was raised around bar rooms and Friday night dancers
Singin' them old country songs
There's a man drinkin' whiskey in a bar room
He's nursin' a broken heart
There's a woman at a table
With her own brand of misery cryin' in the dark
Will two hearts make one tonight?
Will somebody lost find someone who's lost?
Will strangers find comfort in the cold neon light?
Will two hearts make one tonight?
Oh, there's just a waitress between them
They're so close to finding their dreams
They're just one dance away from easing the pain
Of coming apart at the seams
Will two hearts make one tonight?
Will somebody lost find someone who's lost?
Will strangers find comfort in the cold neon light?
Will two hearts make one tonight?
Will two hearts make one tonight?
Will somebody lost find someone who's lost?
Will strangers find comfort in the cold neon light?
Will two hearts make one tonight?
There's a long white line stretching out on the road ahead
There ain't one magazine that I ain't read
Haven't seen you in weeks but I hear you on the radio
Singing soft and low
We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on
Never seems to be time for me and you
That's a price you pay for the life you choose
Tonight's the loneliest night I've ever known
Just goes on and on
We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on
It does my heart good to see you shine
So I'll just keep on counting these white lines
Haven't seen you in weeks but I hear you on the radio
Calling me back home
We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on
We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on
We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I've got a secret I keep in my heart
A secret that sure makes me smile
And I've got a feeling deep down in my soul
That I haven't felt in a while
I've found somebody that really does love me
And I know that she'll always stay
I'm the luckiest guy in the world
'Cause my heart feels this way
We watch old movies and cry at the endings
And get lost in each other's eyes
We hold hands when we're walking and spend all night talking
And make love as the sun starts to rise
She's found somebody that really does love her
And she knows that I'll always stay
I'm the luckiest guy in the world
'Cause her heart feels this way
We share the same hopes, dream the same dreams
Lifelong companions I'd say
I'm the luckiest guy in the world
'Cause our hearts feel this way
I'm the luckiest guy in the world
'Cause our hearts feel this way
Devil In Disguise
You look like an angel (Look like an angel)
Walk like an angel (Walk like an angel)
Talk like an angel (Talk like an angel)
But I got wise
You're the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
Devil in disguise
You fooled me with your kisses
You cheated and you schemed
Heaven knows how you lied to me
You're not the way you seemed
You look like an angel
Walk like an angel
Talk like an angel
But I got wise
You're the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
Devil in disguise
I thought that I was in heaven
But I was sure surprised
Heaven help me, I didn't see
The devil in your eyes
You look like an angel (Look like an angel)
Walk like an angel (Walk like an angel)
Talk like an angel (Talk like an angel)
But I got wise
You're the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
Devil in disguise
You're the devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
Devil in disguise
Oh yes you are
Devil in disguise
You know I'm about to lose my mind
I got a woman down below the Mason-Dixon line
She deals the cards awful good to me
She's a blackjack dealer on the Delta Queen
On the south side of Dixie
From Savannah Georgia down to New Orleans
On the south side of Dixie
Women there they don't treat you mean
On the south side of Dixie
A side of the south you ain't never seen
Half a tank north of Birmingham
Red eye gravy and country ham
Chattanooga woman sure is sweet
She's a hillbilly singer from Tennessee
On the south side of Dixie
From Savannah Georgia down to New Orleans
On the south side of Dixie
Women there they don't treat you mean
On the south side of Dixie
A side of the south you ain't never seen
If you go down south, you're gonna have a ball
You'll go half crazy tryin' to love 'em all
You might get lucky, you can't never tell
With them Georgia peaches and them southern belles
On the south side of Dixie
From Savannah Georgia down to New Orleans
On the south side of Dixie
Women there they don't treat you mean, not too bad
On the south side of Dixie
A side of the south you ain't never seen
On the south side of Dixie
I wipe a tear away as I give up this day
Wonderin' if I'll ever find someone
And when I close my eyes and dream
These are the words I'm whispering, someday, love will come
I won't have a doubt, my head up in the cloud
And certain as the mornin' sun
I will always believe there's somebody just for me
Someday love will come
Someday, after all these nights of waitin'
And someday, I'll find the chance worth takin'
And saving me from waking up alone
My heart will find a home someday
And she'll be so beautiful
The sweetest miracle
Someday, love will come
Someday, after all these nights of waitin'
And someday, I'll find the chance worth takin'
And saving me from waking up alone
My heart will find a home someday
And when I close my eyes and dream
These are the words I'm whispering
Someday love will come
I've done some things that I hadn't oughta
Like coming home late with the preacher's daughter
I'd hit the back door seeing double
My ol' man waiting with a fistful of trouble
Sometimes you lose, sometimes you're a winner
You talk about love, I ain't no beginner
I'm a sucker for a juke joint jumpin'
I never stop chasin' the scent of the woman
It's just the way that I've always been
You knock me down, I'm coming back again
I sing, I've been there and I've done that
I come up smilin' song
I've been on top and I've hit the bottom
You talk about hard times Lord, I've got 'em
Just keep on runnin' and go in full of throttle
There ain't no answer in the bottom of a bottle
It's just the way that I've always been
You knock me down, I'm coming back again
I sing, I've been there and I've done that
I come up smilin' song
Come up smilin'
It's just the way that I've always been
You knock me down, I'm coming back again
I sing, I've been there and I've done that
I come up smilin' song
It's just the way that I've always been
You knock me down, I'm coming back again
I sing, I've been there and I've done that
And I come up smilin' song
Oh, keep on smilin'
Just hear those sleigh bells jingling
Ring, ting, tingling too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Outside, the snow is falling
And friends are calling, 'You, hoo'
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Giddy-yup, giddy-yup, giddy-yup
Let's go
Let's look at the snow
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy-yup, giddy-yup, giddy-yup
It's grand, just holding your hand
We're gliding along with the song
Of a wintry fairy land
Our cheeks are nice and rosy
And comfy, cozy are we
We're snuggled up together
Like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take the road before us
And sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Giddy-yup, giddy-yup, giddy-yup
Let's go
Let's look at the snow
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy-yup, giddy-yup, giddy-yup
It's grand, just holding your hand
We're gliding along with the song
Of a wintry fairy land
Our cheeks are nice and rosy
And comfy, cozy are we
We're snuggled up together
Like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take the road before us
And sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
A sleigh ride together with you
There's a redhead from my hometown that loves to let her hair down
She tears my heart out when she starts to sing
She's from the right side of Red River and she's pretty as a picture
Don't you know she's this ole cowboy's dream?
There's a boy from Okie city and I sure think he's pretty
But I know he's trying to steal my heart away
Oh my mama tried to warn me, he's done time in California
But he'll be an Okie til his dyin' day
There's a dance we do in Oklahoma
A dance like you've never seen
Sit back and we're gonna show ya
How to do that Oklahoma swing
Well when two okies get together man there's nothin' they like better
Than to hold each other on a sawdust floor
Oh I love it when we're swayin' to those sweet twin fiddles playin'
Come on boy, what are we waitin' for?
There's a dance we do in Oklahoma
A dance like you've never seen
Sit back and we're gonna show ya
How to do that Oklahoma swing
Yeah, there's a dance we do in Oklahoma
A dance like you've never seen
Sit back and we're gonna show ya
How to do that Oklahoma swing
Only a memory this morning
My baby up and walked away
In my heart the tears keep pouring
She left with so much to say
She don't know whose heart she's breaking
She don't know my dream lies still
She don't know how much she's taking
She don't know and never will
I can't sleep, I've gotta find her
I've got to make her understand
Although another love may bind her
No one can love her like I can
She don't know whose heart she's breaking
She don't know my dream lies still
She don't know how much she's taking
She don't know and never will
She don't know whose heart she's breaking
She don't know my dream lies still
She don't know how much she's taking
She don't know and never will
She don't know
(She don't know)
She don't know
(She don't know)
She don't know
Driving all night too many miles to go
Pedal tot he metal listenin to the radio
I got three days to get from cheyenne to san antone
Thats the life of a cowboy ridin the rodeo
My back sides sore and Im movin kinda slow
But when I hit okie city theres a barrel racer that I know
A little home cookin and some lovin to heal my bones
Thats the life of a cowboy ridin the rodeo
Ride cowboy ride hold on for your life
Eight seconds is a long long time when youre sitting on dynamite
You cant make money buddy if get thrown
Thats the life of a cowboy ridin the rodeo
Well I might get lucky down in san antone
Find a little texas girl I could call my own
That lone star lovins the best Ive ever known
Thats the life of a cowboy ridin the rodeo
Ride cowboy ride hold on for your life
Eight seconds is a long long time when youre sitting on dynamite
You cant make money buddy if get thrown
Thats the life of a cowboy ridin the rodeo
(Vince Gill / Reed Nielson)
Why don't you come clean, baby
I know what you're goin' through
You must think I'm some kind of crazy
Well, honey I'm just worried 'bout you
You look so much like your mama
And I'm sorry for you that she's gone
And if she was here she sould tell ya
Don't lose sight of what's right or what's wrong
Chorus:
'Cause you ain't foolin' nobody
'Cause baby, teh talk gets around
You ain't foolin' nobody
'Cause you're lovin' in this one horse town
Well, I hope your conscience is listening
When you're out runnin' at night
All it takes is one bad decision
To haunt you the rest of your life
Chorus x 2
Oh there's nothin' like a woman, when you're all alone
No there's nothin' like a woman, to make a man come home
She's always there to understand, little boy inside of the man
Oh there's nothin' like a woman, nothin' at all
She knows when to hold you, and when to leave you alone
She's there to console you, when everything in the world's gone wrong
She lights a candle and gets that look in her eye
She says, boy can you handle, staying up with me all night?
Oh there's nothin' like a woman, when you're all alone
No there's nothin' like her lovin' to make a man come home
She's always there to understand, little boy inside of the man
No there's nothin' like a woman, nothin' at all
No there's nothin' like a woman, when you're all alone
No there's nothin' like a woman to make a man come home
She's always there to understand, little boy inside of the man
No there's nothin' like a woman, nothin' at all
She's always there to understand, little boy inside of the man
No there's nothin' like a woman, nothin' at all, no
Things have changed in the modern world
It Makes it kinda crazy for a boy and girl
All a lot of noise on the radio
It really don't rock
It really don't roll
Well, a kid come along make the young girls swoon
They all put his picture in their pink bedrooms
They all hail the brand new king
Everybody's waiting for the next big thing
[Chorus]
Big cigars, diamond rings
Ridin' all around in a limousine
When you finally hit the top
Man you know what that means
Everybody's ready for the next big thing
For a little while
you can do no wrong
live it up son
cause it don't last long
There's always somebody
Waitin' in the wings
Thinking they're going to be the next big thing
[Chorus]
I'll get a cowboy hat
Some real tight jeans
Lose a little weight and
Get a bellybutton ring
You can stand back I'm a lean machine
Maybe I'm gonna be the next big thing
[Chorus]
Kiss me like you'll never see my face again
As soft and tender as you can
Hold me like we'll never make sweet love again
Please make me feel like a man
Let's send up a prayer for this love that we share
'Cause it could change in the blink of an eye
No, you just never know how tomorrow will go
So let's make sure we kiss goodbye
Let's make sure we kiss goodbye
Look at me just like the day we fell in love
And found the missing pieces to our souls
You and me have always fit just like a glove
Wherever you are feels like home
So let's send up a prayer for this love that we share
'Cause it could change in the blink of an eye
No, you just never know how tomorrow will go
So let's make sure we kiss goodbye
Let's make sure we kiss goodbye
Let's send up a prayer for this love that we share
'Cause it could change in the blink of an eye
No, you just never know how tomorrow will go
So let's make sure we kiss goodbye
Let's make sure we kiss goodbye
Let's make sure we kiss goodbye
When Jenny was a little girl she only dreamed of trains
She never played with dolls or lacy kinds of things
Jenny counted boxcars instead of countin' sheep
She could go anywhere when she went to sleep
All she ever talked about was gettin' on to ride
She was livin' in another time you could see it in her eyes
Everyday after school she'd head don't to the tracks
Waitin' for the train that was never comin' back
Chorus:
Jenny dreamed of trains
When the nighttime came
Nobody knew how she made it come true
Jenny dreamed of trains
The depot's been boarded up, the rails have turned to rust
There hasn't been a train through here since the mill went bust
No one believed her when she said she heard the train
Said she was just a little girl actin' kinda strange
(Chorus)
Jenny laid a penny on the track one day
In God we trust she walked away
The very next mornin' all that she could find
Was a little piece of copper squashed flatter than a dime
Nobody knew how she made it come true
(Vince Gill, Troy Seals)
You're climbing mountains, I'm on the hill
You're always running, I'm standing still
You live for the moment, no future no past
I may be a fool to love by the rules,
I want it to last.
CHORUS:
If you ever have forever in mind
I'll be here and easy to find
If your heart isn't ready to lay down with mine
If you ever have forever in mind
Music has ended still you want to dance
I know that feeling, I can't take the chance
You live for the moment, no future no past
I may be a fool to love by the rules,
I want it to last.
When you said you were leavin'
I said here we go again
I ain't even breakin' even
In this game I just can't win
The cards are stacked against me
Your aces beat my twos
Seems like bad luck travels with me
Like I was born to lose
I quit, I've had enough
Of fallin' in and out of love
I'm done, I'm through, that's it
If I can't have you, I quit
You were my only sunshine
In a world of pouring of pouring rain
So this will be my last time
I can't go through this again
I quit, I've had enough
Of fallin' in and out of love
I'm done, I'm through, that's it
If I can't have you, I quit
I'm done, I'm through, that's it
I know your life on earth was troubled
And only you could know the pain
You weren't afraid to face the Devil
You were no stranger to the rain
Go rest high on that mountain
Son your work on earth is done
Go to Heaven a shoutin'
Love for the Father and the Son
Oh, how we cried the day you left us
We gathered round your grave to grieve
Wish I could see the angels' faces
When they hear your sweet voice sing
So go rest high on that mountain
Son, your work on earth is done
Go to Heaven a shoutin'
Love for the Father and the Son
So go rest high on that mountain
Son, your work on earth is done
Go to Heaven a shoutin'
Love for the Father and the Son
Go to Heaven a shoutin'
Hey Creole darlin'
Talk that French to me
You know your love is somethin'
A kind never seen
I'm goin' down, down, down, down to New Orleans
Your eyes shine like diamonds
And those kisses sure make me scream
There ain't nothin' like love on the Bayou
Honey, I know you know what I mean
I'm goin' down, down, down, down to New Orleans
I'm goin' down, down, down, down to New Orleans
They got the Gumbo and the Creole
They got the Quarter all night long
They got my Delta Queen that makes my heart sing
And I ain't never goin' home
I'm goin' down, down, down, down to New Orleans
Sweet New Orleans baby
They got the Gumbo and the Creole
They got the Quarter all night long
They got my Delta Queen that makes my heart sing
And I ain't never goin' home
I'm goin' down, down, down, down to New Orleans
I'm goin' down, down, down, down to New Orleans
It's colder than winter
Right here in my heart
Lord, I'm gonna miss her
She's torn me apart
I couldn't make you love me
I couldn't give you any more
It's colder than winter
Since you closed the door
It's colder than winter
I'm freezin' inside
And my tears won't be bitter
Even though our love died
I couldn't make you love me
I couldn't give you anymore
It's colder than winter
Since you closed the door
Every time the sun sets
I shed another tear
And the lonelier I get
Wishing you were still here
I couldn't make you love me
I couldn't give you any more
It's colder than winter
Since you closed the door
It's colder than winter
Oh, I woke up this morning
A long before the dawn
I stumbled to the kitchen
And put some coffee on
The house was deathly quiet
I knew something was wrong
Then suddenly it dawned on me
The cold gray light of gone
No, there's nothin' quite as lonely
As the cold gray light of gone
When waking up and findin' out
She's never comin' home
And the note that said it's over
Lord, it chills me to the bone
No, there's nothin' quite as lonely
As the cold gray light of gone
Oh, I sat and cried for hours
And I tried to clear my head
I even went and laid back down
On her side of the bed
Her perfume lingered on the sheets
Our love once laid upon
Her memory's destroying me
In the cold gray light of gone
No, there's nothin' quite as lonely
As the cold gray light of gone
When waking up and findin' out
She's never comin' home
And the note that said it's over
Lord, it chills me to the bone
No, there's nothin' quite as lonely
As the cold gray light of gone
No, there's nothin' quite as lonely
As the cold gray light of gone
When waking up and findin' out
She's never comin' home
And the note that said it's over
Lord, it chills me to the bone
No, there's nothin' quite as lonely
As the cold gray light of gone
No, there's nothin' quite as lonely
I work my fingers to the bone
But you won't hear me cry and moan
A workin' man don't need no welfare line
Well, I'll never be a millionaire
And frankly I don't even care
'Cause all I need to have a real good time
Is a little left over on Saturday night
If my bills are paid my plans are made
And everything's alright
Put on my ropers and them wranglers fittin' tight
Got a little left over
And it's Saturday night
I don't drink but I love to dance
With those sweet young things in their cowboy hats
These country girls will be the death of me
If that's the way I gotta go
Lord I hope I die real slow
'Til I do, I'll tell you all I need
Is a little left over on Saturday night
If my bills are paid my plans are made
And everything's alright
Put on my ropers and them wranglers fittin' tight
Got a little left over
I've got two lovers in my life now
A true love and one that's brand new
I'm not really sure that I know how
To love one and tell one we're through
Chorus:
I can't sleep at night, I toss and turn
I keep losing sight of lessons I've learned
I'm standing at the crossroads with just one concern
Which bridge to cross and which bridge to burn
I knew this was wrong, I didn't listen
Cause a heart only knows what feels right
Oh I need to reach a decision
And get on with the rest of my life
Repeat Chorus
The sweetest smile
The shyest kiss
Two wounded hearts
Were not expecting this
CHORUS:
Look what love¡¯s revealing
Something to believe in
Time to start the healing
For you and me
Look what love¡¯s revealing
Promises for keeping
It¡¯s natural as breathing
Look what love¡¯s revealing
Willing to trust
We¡¯ll make it through
You reach for me
And find me reaching tooREPEAT CHORUS
It¡¯s natural as breathing
Look what love¡¯s revealing
Kiss me like you¡¯ll never see my face again
As soft and tender as you can
Hold me like we¡¯ll never make sweet love again
Please make me feel like a man
CHORUS:
So let¡¯s send a prayer
For this love that we share
¡®Cause it could change in the blink of an eye
You just never know
How tomorrow will go
So let¡¯s make sure we kiss goodbye
Look at me just like the day we fell in love
And found the missing pieces to our souls
You and me have always fit just like a glove
Wherever you are feels like home
REPEAT CHORUS
Baby don¡¯t go baby please don¡¯t go
Don¡¯t you leave me here feelin¡¯ lonely
Don¡¯t you leave me here feelin¡¯ low
All I know is what I know
And I know I love you so
Baby don¡¯t go baby please don¡¯t go
I wasn¡¯t ready for love to hit me
Hit me right between the eyes
One by one I¡¯m comin¡¯ undone
Can¡¯t you feel my temperature rise
Well I¡¯ve got you where you want me
Right in the palm of your hand
I¡¯m gonna make you feel like a woman
¡®Cause you make me feel like a manREPEAT CHORUS
Lock your eyes right with me
Make time slow down to a crawl
Two hearts on fire with a wild desire
Climbin¡¯ these bedroom walls
My heartbeat¡¯s gettin stronger
Baby won¡¯t you rock me slow
I can¡¯t take it any longer
You got me shakin¡¯ all the way to my toes
REPEAT CHORUS
Give me half a chance to make you love me
Give me half a chance to make you stay
Give me half a chance before you leave me
Half a chance before you turn and walk away
I'm holdin' on just like you told me
I put my heart right on the line
You know your love it really sold me
But I never had the chance to make you mine
Give me half a chance to make you love me
Give me half a chance to make you stay
Give me half a chance before you leave me
Half a chance before you turn and walk away
You said you'd never say it's over
Well, I guess my heart can't beat your pride
You said I'd always be your lover
But you're gone and my tears still haven't dried
Give me half a chance to make you love me
Give me half a chance to make you stay
Give me half a chance before you leave me
Half a chance before you turn and walk away
A little girl was cryin'
for her mama and her daddy
She couldn't understand why they were gone
She never knew the danger
Of talking to a stranger
Now the girl can't find her way back home
A little boy went walkin'
Down to the corner market
To buy a loaf of bread and an ince cream cone
He never knew the dnager
Of talkin' to a stranger
Now the boy can't find the way back home
Chorus:
Too many kids are missin'
Is anybody listening?
Won't you be the children's eyes
They're all alone
The hardest part's not knowing
Where they are or where they're going
Won't you help the children find
The way back home
The faces on milk cartons
Thrown away and soon forgotten
What if one of those sweet kids
Was your very own
Tonight those kids are weeping
While yours are safely sleeping
Won't you help the children find
The way back home
Chorus
Won't you help the children find
The way back home
The street looks different tonight
Something has changed
I had this picture in mind
But it's just not the same
Had this great expectation
About a heart that's free
I thought that's what I wanted
Would be waiting for me
Chorus:
Baby something's missing tonight
Something ain't feeling right
Baby something's wrong and I'm so confused
Baby something's missing inside
Something I can't find in the night
I finally realized what I'm missing is you
In this crowd of old friends
Why do I feel alone
I thought I'd fall back in step
This is where I belong
I thought that freedom was a voice
Calling from the dark
Now I see I was only free
When you were in my heart
Chorus
I thought that freedom was a voice
Calling from the dark
Now I see I was only free
When you were in my heart
Chorus
Love sure is something no one can explain
It can bring you such joy, it can bring you pain
And with every emotion, love puts us through
There's nothing you can say, when love finds you
Love is the power that makes your heart beat
It can make you move mountains, make you drop to your knees
When it finally hits you, you won't know what to do
There's nothin' you can say, when love finds you
Chorus:
Give it all you can give it, when your love comes around
If you put your heart in it, then it won't let you down
You'll find out it's true, baby, someday when love finds you
And when you least expect it, it will finally come true
There's nothing you can say when love finds you
Repeat Chorus
You'll find out it's true, baby, someday when love finds you
Don't come cryin' to me when it's over
Don't you come knockin'' at my door
Don't come cryin' to me I won't be waiting
Like I've done a hundred times before
You promised you'd love me forever
Now it's all over town you've changed your mind
You'll call me and say "let's get together"
But I'm sorry I won't take you back this time
Don't come cryin' to me when it's over
Don't you come knockin'' at my door
Don't come cryin' to me I won't be waiting
Like I've done a hundred times before
Like I've done a hundred times before
I took chance, I took a fall
Waited on love 'til I could give it my all
Then I let my heart fly
Took a rose to her door
Stood there like a statue just sort of frozen by her presence
But I shyed (not sure of this line...)
Chorus:
Ain't it always that way
When you want to believe
Ain't it always that way
When you want and you need
Ain't it always that way
When you want to rely
Ain't it always that way
When you want and you need and you cry
Yes and then I took a space out of time
I don't wanna sound like a thief but the moment was mine And I stole it, it felt right
I took a chance, took a fall
Waited on love until I could give it my all
Then I let my heart fly
Chorus
Ain't it always that way
When you want to believe
Ain't it always that way
When you want and you need and you cry
Oh baby when you came walkin' in
I went crazy wonderin' where you been
I think maybe I just fell in love again
She ain't no Peggy Sue, sweet Mary Lou
She ain't no Maybelline, pretty miss Norma Jean
But I give up everything
For just one dance with you
Oh baby I sure like the way you move
I go crazy when you shake that thing the way you do
You think maybe I could have a dance with you
She ain't no Peggy Sue, a sweet Mary Lou
She ain't no Maybelline, a pretty miss Norma Jean
But I'd give up everything
For just one dance with you
(If I would stay)
She ain't no Peggy Sue, a sweet Mary Lou
She ain't no Maybelline, pretty miss Norma Jean
But I'd give up everything
For just one dance with you
She ain't no Peggy Sue, a sweet Mary Lou
She ain't no Maybelline, a pretty miss Norma Jean
But I'd give up everything
My dad was a man with two hard workin' hands
He always took time out for me
Well, I'd come home from school, load up that canoe
He'd say, "What's the bet gonna be?"
We'd float that boat down old Whippoorwill River
Catch us a big one or two
Well, he taught me about life
And its simple pleasures, whatever else that he knew
Then I met a girl with a head full of curls
A pure and innocent heart
Oh, I knew she was the one and when weekends would come
Wild horses couldn't keep us apart
We'd run those ponies down Whippoorwill River
And I'd steal a sweet kiss or two
She taught me about love
And its simple pleasures, whatever else that she knew
Well, I married that girl and we have a son
And he looks like my daddy used to
Oh, his mom and I, always find time
To do things that he likes to do
Well, he loves to go fishing on Whippoorwill River
And ride in his granddad's canoe
We teach him about life
And its simple pleasures and pass down a memory or two
Yeah, he loves to go fishing on Whippoorwill River
And catch him a big one or two
He's learning about life
And its simple pleasures and making a memory or two
Love sure is something no one can explain
It can bring you such joy, it can bring you pain
And with every emotion, love puts us through
There's nothing you can say, when love finds you
Love is the power that makes your heart beat
It can make you move mountains, make you drop to your knees
When it finally hits you, you won't know what to do
There's nothin' you can say, when love finds you
Give it all you can give it, when your love comes around
If you put your heart in it, then it won't let you down
You'll find out it's true, baby, someday when love finds you
And when you least expect it, it will finally come true
There's nothing you can say when love finds you
Give it all you can give it, when your love comes around
If you put your heart in it, then it won't let you down
You'll find out it's true, I promise you soon
Baby someday when love finds you
You'll find out it's true, baby, someday when love finds you
It ain't about you, it ain't about me
It's about this love we found that has to be
'Cause I never questioned that look in your eyes
And you never doubted how I felt inside
We found passion and grace in each other's face
And our heart's will now beat as one
For we both know a place where our souls have embraced
I think it's what they all call love
This gift you've given humbles me
True companions we'll always be
So long we've waited to feel what we feel
We've finally tasted something that's real
We found passion and grace in each other's face
And our heart's will now beat as one
For we both know a place where our souls have embraced
I think it's what they all call love
We found passion and grace in each other's face
And our heart's will now beat as one
For we both know a place where our souls have embraced
I think it's what they all call love, I think it's what they all call love
It's 6:05 a.m. on Sunday mornin'
And I was supposed to left for Memphis late last night
But I stopped at one of them old highway places
And 'cause I did, I'll sleep in Tarrant County Jail tonight
Well, I started out tonight with good intentions
But I ended up gettin' sideways drinkin' wine
Well, the last thing I remember we was rollin'
Somethin' hit my head and knocked me from my conscious mind
And I'm a victim of life's circumstances
Well, I was raised around bar rooms and Friday night dancers
Singin' them old country songs
And half the time ending up some place I don't belong, alright
I said, "Jailor, hey, what y'all got me charged with?"
Well, he looked at me and halfway closed one eye
Well, he said to me, ?To say, you don't remember
Cuttin' up some fool with that bone handled knife?"
And I'm a victim of life's circumstances
Well, I was raised around bar rooms and Friday night dancers
Singin' them old country songs
And half the time ending up some place I don't belong
And I'm a victim of life's circumstances
Well, I was raised around bar rooms and Friday night dancers
Singin' them old country songs
I lose myself in this place
Strangest smile on my face
The hand of blessing or beginner's luck
Here I stand on the rock of your love
Somethin' steady sure feels good
I always knew somehow it would
I've traded chains for the wings of a dove
Standin' on the rock of your love
Let the storm clouds roll
Let the rain flood my soul
I'll still be here when the trouble's done
Standin' on the rock of your love
If this ol' world should fade away
If I've got you I ain't afraid
I will face whatever comes
Standin' on the rock of your love
Let the storm clouds roll
Let the rain flood my soul
I'll still be here when the trouble's done
Standin' on the rock of your love
I'll still be here when the trouble's done
Standin' on the rock of your love
Lying here in this sleepy town
Listening to the sun go down
The only one who hears the sound
Is you
You look at life so wild and free
I love the way you smile at me
The only love I'll ever need
Is you
I need you
To start a clear blue mornin'
I need you
At the end of a long hard day
I've never seen you wear a frown
Blues don't even come around
The only love I've ever found is you
We don't go much of anywhere
Sunday church and county fairs
The world looks good from these rocking chairs
It's true
Be my woman, I'll be your man
We'll go through life hand in hand
All I want to understand
Is you
I need you
To start a clear blue mornin'
I need you
At the end of a long hard day
I've never seen you wear a frown
Blues don't even come around
The only love I've ever found is you
I've never seen you wear a frown
Blues don't even hang around
The only love I've ever found is you
The street looks different tonight
Something has changed
I had this picture in mind
But it's just not the same
Had this great expectation
About a heart that's free
Thought that's what I wanted
Would be waiting for me
Baby something's missing tonight
Something ain't feeling right
Baby something's wrong and I'm so confused
Baby something's missing inside
Something I can't find in the night
I finally realized what I'm missing is you
In this crowd of old friends
Why do I feel alone?
I thought I'd fall back in step
This is where I belong
I thought that freedom was a voice
Calling from the dark
Now I see I was only free
When you were in my heart
Baby something's missing tonight
Something ain't feeling right
Baby something's wrong and I'm so confused
Baby something's missing inside
Something I can't find in the night
I finally realized what I'm missing is you
I thought that freedom was a voice
Calling from the dark
Now I see I was only free
When you were in my heart
Baby something's missing tonight
Something ain't feeling right
Baby something's wrong and I'm so confused
Baby something's missing inside
Something I can't find in the night
I finally realized what I'm missing is you
Baby something's missing tonight
Baby something's missing tonight
Baby something's missing inside
Baby something's missing tonight
Do you ever think of me
When you lay your head down?
Do you ever think of me
When he ain't around?
Do you ever wonder why
Our love couldn't be?
Ever since you said goodbye
Do you ever think of me?
Savannah
The memory just won't fade
Savannah
I sure wish you'd stayed with me
Savannah
Do you ever see my face
In your new lover's eyes?
Has my memory been erased
Am I out of your life?
I still remember our first night
We made love so tenderly
So when he doesn't hold you right
Do you ever think of me?
Savannah
The memory just won't fade
Savannah
I sure wish you'd stayed with me
Savannah
If he ever lets you down
Happiness just can't be found
I'll still be here hangin' 'round
Savannah
Savannah
(Do you ever think of me?)
Savannah
(Do you ever think of me?)
Savannah
(Do you ever think of me?)
How could she dance that slow bandera
Shuffle to some cowboy hustle
How she makes those trophy buckles
Shine, shine, shine
Wild eyed and Mexican silvered
Trickin' dumb ol' cousin Willard
Into thinkin' that he's got her this time
Hill country holky tonkin' Rita Ballou
Every beer joint in town has played the fool for you
Backslidin' barrel ridin' Rita Ballou
Ain't a cowboy in Texas would not ride a bull for you
She's a rawhide, rope, and velvet mixture
Walkin' talkin' Texas texture
High timin' barroom fixture kind of a girl
She's the queen of the cowboys
Look at ol' Willard grinnin' now boys
You'd a thought there's less fools in this world
Hill country holky tonkin' Rita Ballou
Every beer joint in town has played the fool for you
Backslidin' barrel ridin' Rita Ballou
Ain't a cowboy in Texas would not ride a bull for you
So good luck Willard and here's to ya
And here's to Rita and I hope she'll do ya
Right all night
Lord I wish I was the fool in your jeans
Hill country holky tonkin' Rita Ballou
Every beer joint in town has played the fool for you
Backslidin' barrel ridin' Rita Ballou
Ain't a cowboy in Texas would not ride a bull for you
Hill country holky tonkin' Rita Ballou
Every beer joint in town has played the fool for you
Backslidin' barrel ridin' Rita Ballou
Every little whisper, every little sound
Brings me comfort whenever you?re around
A heart full of wonder and sweet reverie
Gives me a reason, a reason to believe
Forever?s just begun
We?ll never turn and run
Slowly we?ve become one, oh, one
Slowly we?ve become one
Love the way we?re different, way we?re the same
Makin' love to each other is like shelter from the rain
Isn?t it amazing? What I see in your eyes
I?ll be your partner and never leave your side
Forever?s just begun
We?ll never turn and run
Slowly we?ve become one, oh, one
Slowly we?ve become one
Forever?s just begun
We?ll never turn and run
Slowly we?ve become one, oh, one
Slowly we?ve become one, oh, one
Slowly we?ve become one
Well it's rainin' down in Houston and I got holes in both my shoes
Baby's put me on the street she says I'm through with you
She thinks I'm gonna miss her someone tell her that she's wrong
I'm goin' back to Oklahoma, boys 'cause that's where I belong
I need one good ride I'll be satisfied
Come on Oklahoma borderline
If we roll all night she'll be comin' into sight
Come on Oklahoma borderline
Well now I don't need no Texas girl doggin' me around
I may be a Okie, son but I've still been to town
Well those Oklahoma city girls they always treat you right
Well tell mama that I'm comin' home and I'm leavin' out tonight
I need one good ride I'll be satisfied
Come on Oklahoma borderline
If we roll all night she'll be comin' into sight
Come on Oklahoma borderline
So with two bucks in my pocket and my thumb stuck in the wind
When I cross red river, boys I won't be back again
Give me old back roads and truck stops and 18 wheels that whine
And some good ol' boy to take me to that Oklahoma line
I need one good ride I'll be satisfied
Come on Oklahoma borderline
If we roll all night she'll be comin' into sight
Come on Oklahoma borderline
I caught one good ride she's comin' into sight
Molly Brown, waits for me
In a little one-horse town
And Boley, Oklahoma
Where white folks don't come around
I'm thinkin' about you, Molly
I'm forbidden to come 'round
Lord knows I love you, Molly
Molly Brown
Molly Brown, Molly Brown
Lay down by my side
Show me how you spread your wings
And let that pony ride
I'm crazy about you, Molly
I don't care that your skin is brown
Lord knows I need you, Molly
Molly Brown
Molly Brown
Oh, Molly Brown
We met down by the river
She wore her wedding gown
I never saw it coming
And no one heard the sound
My daddy used both barrels
And left me there to drown
Lord knows I'd die for Molly
Molly Brown
Molly Brown, Molly Brown
Don't you weep for me
I'm going to a place the Lord
Prepared for you and me
I'll meet you up in Heaven
Upon that Holy ground
I'll be waitin' for you, Molly
Molly Brown
Molly Brown, Molly Brown, Molly Brown
Lord, I'll be waitin' up in Heavenly
We've been friends for a long, long time
And you had your lover and I had mine
One night I looked at you and I think we both knew
Some night I'd hold you in my arms
Maybe tonight we'll find each other
Maybe tonight you'll turn around and I'll be there
If the timing is right we could finally get together
We might just fall in love and it may be tonight
Two hearts on fire can't live like this
A burning desire we can't resist
Who's gonna break the ice, who's gonna roll the dice
All it would take is just one kiss
Maybe tonight we'll find each other
Maybe tonight you'll turn around and I'll be there
If the timing is right we could finally get together
We might just fall in love and it may be tonight
Maybe tonight we'll find each other
Maybe tonight you'll turn around and I'll be there
If the timing is right we could finally get together
We might just fall in love and it may be tonight
Maybe tonight we'll find each other
Maybe tonight you'll turn around and I'll be there
If the timing is right we could finally get together
We might just fall in love and it may be tonight
If I didn't have you in my world
What a lonely place my world would be
If I didn't have you in my world
I think, I'd just pack up and leave
It seems like I've waited a lifetime
To find someone special like you
If you ever walked out of my life
I don't know what I would do
'Cause if I didn't have you in my world
What a lonely place my world would be
If I didn't have you in my world
I think, I'd just pack up and leave
You gave me a reason for livin'
The first time I looked in your eyes
I shudder to think what might happen
If you ever told me goodbye
'Cause if I didn't have you in my world
What a lonely place my world would be
If I didn't have you in my world
I think, I'd just pack up and leave
If I didn't have you in my world
I know we're both married
Yet we're both alone
He's always working
And she's never home.
If we got together
It would be so good
But under these conditions
I don't think we should.
'Cause we both have children
And they need us around
Although we're both willing
We can't let 'em down.
As much as we want to
You know where we stand
Under these conditions
I don't think we can.
We love each other
But it's only in dreams
But we have to get used to the fact
It's just one of those things.
We'll never know how
This love could feel
And under these conditions
We never will.
Under these conditions
