When you look back on times we had, I hope you smile
And know that through the good and through the bad
I was on your side when nobody could hold us down
We claimed the brightest star
And we, we came so far and no they won't forget
Whenever you remember times gone by
Remember how we held our heads so high
When all this world was there for us
And we believe that we could touch the sky
Whenever you remember, I'll be there
Remember how we reached that dream together
Whenever you remember
When you think back on all we've done, I hope you're proud
When you look back and see how far we've come
It was our time to shine and nobody could hold us down
They thought they'd see us fall
But we, we stood so tall and no we won't forget
Whenever you remember times gone by
Remember how we held our heads so high
When all this world was there for us
And we believe that we could touch the sky
Whenever you remember, I'll be there
Remember how we reached that dream together
Whenever you remember, yeah ooh
We claimed the brightest star
And we, we came so far
And know that we showed them all
And no they won't forget, yeah
Whenever you remember times gone by
Remember how we held our heads so high
When all this world was there for us
And we believe that we could touch the sky
Whenever you remember, I'll be there
Remember how we reached that dream together
Whenever you remember, whenever you remember
I wanna call the stars down from the sky
I wanna live a day that never dies
I wanna change the world only for you
All the impossible I wanna do
I wanna hold you close under the rain
I wanna kiss your smile and feel the pain
I know what’s beautiful looking at you
In a world of lies you are the truth
And baby every time you touch me I become a hero
I’ll make you safe no matter where you are
And bring you everything you ask for, nothing is above me
I’m shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me
I wanna make you see just what I was
Show you the loneliness and what it does
You walked into my life to stop my tears
Everything’s easy now I have you here
And baby every time you touch me I become a hero
I’ll make you safe no matter where you are
And bring you everything you ask for, nothing is above me
I’m shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me
In a world without you I will always hunger
All I need is your love to make me stronger
Every time you touch me I become a hero
I’ll make you safe no matter where you are
And bring you everything you ask for, nothing is above me
I’m shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me
When you tell me that you love me
When you tell me that you love me, oh
Love goes out, out like a light
Out like a flame, and you can't find it anymore
Just when you think it's lost in the rain
It comes back knocking at your door
It's the wheel of the world turning around
It's the wheel of the world turning around
And around
God put us here on this carnival ride
We close our eyes
Never knowing where it will take us next
Babies are born and at the same time, someone's taking their last breath
It's the wheel of the world
It's the wheel of the world turning around
In the blink of an eye
It can change your life
And it never even slows down
It's the wheel of the world
I don't know what it is
I'm flying high
Then I'm wondering why I'm sinking on this ship, going down
Life keeps on moving anyway
It's the wheel of the world
It's the wheel of the world turning around
It's the wheel of the world
It's the wheel of the world turning around
It's the wheel of the world turning around
And around
And around
It's the wheel of the world turning around
It can open your heart
It can break you apart
And it never even slows down
It's the wheel of the world turning around
It's the wheel of the world turning around
It's the wheel of the world turning around
It's the wheel of the world turning around
Piercing words, eyes are red
Watched your taillights in the rain
Empty heart filled with regret
I know we were both to blame
And i'm not sorry that it's over
But for the way we let it end
So I said all I had to say
In letters that I threw away
And you should know, please believe me
I've picked up the phone a thousand times
And tried to dial your number, but it's been so long
It's never easy, it's like tryin' to spin the world the other way
What can I say?
How did it come to this?
I think about you all the time
It's no excuse, but I wish
That I never made you cry
I'm not sorry that it's over
But for the way we let it end
I couldn't find the words to say
And you should know, please believe me
I've picked up the phone a thousand times
And tried to dial your number, but it's been so long
It's never easy, it's like tryin' to spin the world the other way
What can I say? What can I say?
What can I say? What can I say?
I hate to think all you had of me
(I said all I had to say)
Is a memory I left you, place between
what was meant to be
(In letters that I threw away)
And the mess that it turned into
And you should know, please believe me
I've picked up the phone a thousand times
And tried to dial your number, but it's been so long
It's never easy, it's like tryin' to spin the world the other way
What can I say? What can I say?
Standing at the back door she tried to make it fast
One tear hit the hard wood it fell like broken glass
She said, "Sometimes love slips away
And you just can't get it back, let's face it"
For one split second, she almost turned around
But that would be like pouring rain drops back into a cloud
So she took another step and said
"I see the way out and I'm gonna' take it"
I don't wanna spend my life jaded, waiting
To wake up one day and find
That I've let all these years go by wasted
Another glass of whiskey but it still don't kill the pain
So he stumbles to the sink and pours it down the drain
He says, "It's time to be a man and stop living for yesterday
Gotta face it"
'Cause I don't wanna spend my life jaded, waiting
To wake up one day and find
That I've let all these years go by wasted
Oh I don't wanna keep on wishing, missing
The still of the morning, the color of the night
I ain't spending no more time wasted
She kept drivin' along
'Til the moon and the sun were floating side-by-side
He looked in the mirror and his eyes were clear
For the first time in a while, yeah yeah
Oh, I don't wanna spend my life jaded, waiting
To wake up one day and find
That I've let all these years go by wasted
Oh I don't wanna keep on wishing, missing
The still of the morning, the color of the night
I ain't spending no more time wasted
Oh I don't wanna spend my life jaded, waiting
To wake up one day and find
That I've let all these years go by wasted, yeah, yeah
Oh I don't wanna keep on wishing, missing
The still of the morning, the color of the night
I ain't spending no more time wasted
Last night I was pouring out my heart
Like a waterfall to you
And with a one kiss
I was a runaway train
Flying off the track to you
I love you came flooding out
Couldn't make it stop
Couldn't shut my mouth
I felt like a fool then I lied and said I'm sorry
But I unapologize
I meant every word
Won't take back the way I feel about you
I cant unsay what you heard
Cause you heard me right
And I won't try to fight 'em back
Or hide my feelings for you
I unapologize
You know, people say a lot of things
That they don't really mean
And last night I told a little white lie
Hoping you'd forget the scene
Where it felt like a movie under that porch light
Couldn't help myself when you held me tight
Said what I meant then I lied and said I was sorry
I unapologize
I meant every word
Won't take back the way I feel about you
I cant unsay what you heard
Cause you heard me right
And i wont try to fight 'em back
Or hide my feelings for you
I unapologize
Ooh there's no time to be holding it all
And trying to pretend
That I don't feel anything
Ohh I shouldn't have said I'm sorry
I meant every word
Won't take back the way I feel about you
I cant unsay what you heard
cause you heard me right
and I wont try to fight 'em back
Or hide my feelings for you
I unapologize
Cause you heard me right, yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Baby you're a wrecking ball
Crashing into me
Nothing I can do but fall
Piece by piece
You broke down every part of me
That ever thought I'd never need you, baby
It's twisted, messed up
And the more I think about it
It's crazy, but so what
I may never understand it
I'm caught up and I'm hanging on
I'm gonna love you even if it's wrong
Everybody's telling me
I'm over my head
If they don't feel you loving me
They all say that I've gone crazy
Maybe, but it's too late now to save me
I'm too tangled
It's twisted, messed up
And the more I think about it
It's crazy, but so what
I may never understand it
I'm caught up and I'm hanging on
I'm gonna love you even if it's wrong
Even if it's twisted
Maybe it's not right
But that's all right
Yeah, it's all right tonight
It's twisted, messed up
And the more I think about it
It's crazy, but so what
I may never understand it
It's twisted, messed up
And the more I think about it
It's crazy, but so what
I may never understand it
I'm caught up and I'm hanging on
I'm gonna love you even if it's wrong
Even if it's twisted
Even it's just a little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit twisted
Yeah
It's twisted
Sitting up on the roof
Sneaking a smoke by the chimney
Checking out the moon
And the city lights
He takes off his flannel shirt
And he drapes it around her shoulders
Slides up behind her and holds on tight
And she says
"I don't want this night to end
Why does it have to end?"
[Chorus:]
Tomorrow she'll be rolling down I-10
Baton Rouge, LSU
18 years in her rear-view
He's got a Friday paycheck lined up down the block
At daddy's shop
It ain't much but its a job
They've been dreading this moment all summer long
The night before
Life goes on
Oooh
A tear falls off her cheek and
Right when it hits his arm he says
"Come on baby
Let's get out of here"
They take one last drive around town
And man it
Already looks different
He bangs the wheel and says
"Life ain't fair
And this growing up stuff man I don't know
I just don't wanna let you go"
[Chorus:]
Tomorrow shell be rolling down I-10
Baton Rouge,LSU
18 years in her rear-view
Hes got a Friday paycheck lined up down the block
At daddy's shop
It ain't much but its a job
They've been dreading this moment all summer long
The night before
Life goes on
Yeah that's what my momma told me
And just like those kids
I didn't wanna listen to no one
Yeah there's nothing you can do
There's nothing you can say
And I know how it feels when love goes away
[Chorus:]
Tomorrow shell be rolling down I-10
Baton Rouge,LSU
18 years in her rear-view
Hes got a Friday paycheck lined up down the block
At daddies shop
It ain't much but its a job
They've been dreading this moment all summer long
But here it is
They don't have long
The night before
Life goes ooooon
In the circles I've been running,
I've covered many miles,
And I could search forever for what's right before my eyes,
Just when I thought I'd found it,
It was nothing like I'd planned,
When I got my heart around it, it slipped right through my hands,
Here with you I feel it,
I close my eyes and see it,
In a midnight talk, in a morning kiss,
When I'm in your arms, that's where it is,
When we're tangled up and can't resist,
When we feel that rush, that's where it is,
That's where it is
When I'm crashing through the madness,
Not sure who I'm supposed to be,
When I'm caught up in the darkness,
It's your hand that's leading me,
You bring me back to solid ground,
You lift me up right here, right now
In a midnight talk, in a morning kiss,
When I'm in your arms, that's where it is,
When we're tangled up and can't resist,
When we feel that rush, that's where it is
It's a life time filled with tight embraces
The biggest things in the smallest places,
In a midnight talk, in a morning kiss,
When I'm in your arms, that's where it is,
When we're tangled up and can't resist,
When we feel that rush, that's where it is
In the sweetest smile, on a night like this,
And a tender touch, that's where it is,
When we're tangled up, and can't resist,
When we feel that rush, that's where it is,
Yesterday I got a call
Someone I didn’t know at all passed away
Mama said yeah you know him
You went to school with both his kids
They lived out on Prescott lane
She said you should’ve seen the line
Mrs. Johnson said to tell you hi
[Chorus]
Thank God for hometowns
And all the love that makes you go round
Thank God for the country lines that welcome you back in
When you were dying to get out
Thank God for Church pews
And all the faces that won’t forget you
Cause when you’re lost in this crazy world
You got somewhere to go and get found
Thank God for hometowns
Yeah
Last June my cousin tied the knot,
Didn’t know if I’d go or not
But I’m sure glad I did
It was a pretty good haul but worth the drive
I could feel myself come back to life
The closer that I’d get
First red light I rollded the windows down
Breathed it in and took a look around
[Chorus]
Thank God for hometowns
First kisses and touchdowns
Thank God for the county lines that welcome you back in
When you were dying to get out
Thank God for Church pews
And all the faces that won’t forget you
And when you’re lost in this crazy world
You got somewhere to go and get found
Thank God for hometowns
Yeah
[Bridge]
I always find another piece of me
Walking down these old familiar streets
[Chorus]
Thank God for hometowns
And all the love that makes them go round
Thank God for the county lines that welcome you back in
When you were dying to get out
Thank God for Church pews
And all the faces that won’t forget you
And when you’re lost in this crazy world
You got somewhere to go and get found
Thank God for hometowns
Little boy, six years old
A little too used to being alone
Another new mom and dad
Another school, another house that'll never be home
When people ask him how he likes this place
He looks up and says with a smile upon his face
"This is my temporary home, it's not where I belong
Windows and rooms that I'm passing through
This is just a stop on the way to where I'm going
I'm not afraid because I know this is my temporary home"
Young mom on her own
She needs a little help, got nowhere to go
She's looking for a job, looking for a way out
'Cause a halfway house will never be a home
At night she whispers to her baby girl
"Someday we'll find our place here in this world"
"This is our temporary home, it's not where we belong
Windows and rooms that we're passing through
This is just a stop on the way to where we're going
I'm not afraid because I know this is our temporary home"
Old man, hospital bed
The room is filled with people he loves
And he whispers "Don't cry for me, I'll see you all someday"
He looks up and says "I can see God's face"
"This is my temporary home, it's not where I belong
Windows and rooms that I'm passing through
This was just a stop on the way to where I'm going
I'm not afraid because I know this was my temporary home"
Here's how it goes
Boy meets girl, girl leaves boy
That's all i know
All I've done
All my life
Cause throughout my history
Of only being with jerks
Who couldn't take it
But you see the picket fence
The swing on the front porch
With us two on it
When I believe
That nothing last forever
You stay with me
Keeping us together
And make me feel
Like i never ever want to give you up
till now
I've always been a quitter
You rescued me
Saved my life
Just in time
Saw past all my
issues and scars
And made me try
Cause ohh the way your kissing me
Makes it hard to breath
But i still like it
Ohh ohh it should it feels like a dream
You know exactly
How i want it
When I believe
That nothing last forever
Stay with me
Keeping us together
And make me feel
Like i never ever want to give you up
till now
I've always been a quitter
I've always been a quitter
When i believe that nothing last forever
Stay with me
Keeping us together
And make me feel
Like i never ever want to give you up
till no
I've always been a quitter
Wanna find some boy, rip his heart right out
First man I see, gonna take him down
It ain't the Christian thing to do, they say
But someone, somewhere's gotta pay
And if it wasn't for guys like you
There wouldn't be songs like this
And if you hadn't gone and done me wrong
I wouldn't go off like this
Yeah, even I'm surprised
How easy sweet revenge rolls off my lips
If it wasn't for guys like you
There wouldn't be songs like this
Broke my TV, pawned my guitar
After maxing out my credit cards
You lied much too much, and you lied again
'Caught you on the couch with my best friend
And if it wasn't for guys like you
There wouldn't be songs like this
And if you hadn't gone and done me wrong
I wouldn't go off like this
Yeah, even I'm surprised
How easy sweet revenge rolls off my lips
If it wasn't for guys like you
There wouldn't be
Songs like this one
That tell the whole world
Just what a jerk you are
And if it wasn't for guys like you
There wouldn't be songs like this
And if you hadn't gone and done me wrong
I wouldn't go off like this
Yeah, even I'm surprised
How easy sweet revenge rolls off my lips
If it wasn't for guys like you
There wouldn't be
No, if it wasn't for guys like you
These are the days of the open hand
They will not be the last
Look around now
These are the days of the beggars and the choosers
This is the year of the hungry man
Whose place is in the past
Hand in hand with ignorance and legitimate excuses
The rich declare themselves poor
And most of us are not sure
If we have too much but we’ll take our chances
‘Cause God stopped keeping score
I guess somewhere along the way
He must have let us all out to play
And turned his back
And all God’s children
Crept out the back door
And its hard to love
Theres so much to hate
Hanging onto hope
When there is no hope to speak of
And the wounded skies above
Say its much too late
Oh maybe we should all be praying for time
This is the year of the empty hand
Oh you hold onto what you can
And charity is a coat you wear twice a year
These are the days of the guilty man
The television takes a stand
And you find that what was over there
Is over here
So you scream from behind your door
Say whats mine is mine and not yours
I may have too much
But I’ll take my chances cause God stopped keeping score
And you’ll cling to the things they sold you
Did you cover your eyes when they told you
That he cant come back
‘Cause he has no children
to come back for
And its hard to love when theres so much to hate
And hanging onto hope
When there is no hope to speak of
And the wounded skies above
Say its much, much too late
Whatcha gonna do when the show is over?
Whatcha gonna sing when the song ends, yeah?
How you gonna cope when there is no closure?
Where you gonna reach when the goal gets higher?
How you gonna make it through when you think you lost your chance?
Play on when you're losing the game
Play on 'cause you're gonna make mistakes
It's always worth the sacrifice
Even when you think you're wrong
So play on, play on
Even when the floodgates swing wide open
Never let the current take you down, no
Even when you're not sure where you're going
Swimming through a mess and you can't get out
Just going through the motions and trying not to drown
Play on when you're losing the game
Play on 'cause you're gonna make mistakes
It's always worth the sacrifice
Even when you think you're wrong
So play on, play on
Even through a storm on the darkest night
Don't you ever give up the fight
Even when you feel you're all alone
Play on, play on
Play on when you're losing the game
Play on 'cause you're gonna make mistakes
It's always worth the sacrifice
Even when you think you're wrong
So play on, play on
Play on
Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Na, na, na, na, na, na
If you’re tired of your life and the way that you feel
Like a fish on a hook,
Like a bug on a dirty windshield, it’s ok
It’s time to take your chips and cash them all in
Cause it matters where you’re going
Not where you been, say hey
Goodbye yesterday
Well if life don’t go your way
Maybe it’s time to take a break,
Yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
Raise your hands in the air tonight
Put a little love back in your life
Get your feet up, just kick it
We got a one way ticket
Sunshine and bright and it’s meant for us
Life is like a ride on a party bus
Turn the radio up and sing along with it
We got a one way ticket
So pack up your smile and your new flip flops
We’re headed to a heaven where the beach don’t stop
Dance the day and the night away
Grab yourself a gal,
Grab yourself a fella,
Grab yourself a drink with a pink umbrella
Goodbye yesterday
Well if life don’t go your way
Maybe it’s time to take a nice long break
[Chorus]
Raise your hands in the air tonight
Put a little love back in your life
Get your feet up, woo, just kick it
We got a one way ticket
Sunshine and bright and it’s meant for us
Life is like a ride on a party bus
Turn the radio up and sing along with it, eh
We got a one way ticket
[Outro]
Ou la la la la la
Raise your hands in the air tonight
Raise your hands in the air tonight
Push that clock and call it a day
Say adios to the minimum wage
Tell your boss man where he can stick it
We got a one way ticket
Life is so good, it’s sticky sweet
It’s a carnival cotton candy treat
All wrapped in a lollipop, lick it
Take off all the make up, girl
Shine your light, show the world
Don't be shy, don't be scared
You don't have to hide under there
Let's throw away all the magazines
Turn off the static on the TV
Wish you could see yourself the way I do
[Chorus]
Nobody ever told you
Nobody ever told you
You shine like a diamond, glitter like gold
And you need to know
What nobody ever told you
La la la la la la
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Acting like it knows it all
Tells you lies of vanity
It doesn't care what's underneath
All hung up on the negative
Doesn't have to be the way it is
Wish you could see yourself the way I do
[Chorus]
Na na na na...
Oh, free as a bird up on a wire
Just like a flower growin' wild
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
Nobody ever told you
Yeah, nobody ever told you
You shine like a diamond, glitter like gold
And you need to know, what nobody ever told you, yeah
Oh, you shine like a diamond, glitter like gold
You need to know what nobody ever told you
Oh, you're free as a bird up on a wire, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Just like a flower growin' wild
Just like a flower growin' wild
Sittin' up on the roof
Sneakin' a smoke by the chimney
Checkin' out the moon and the city lights
He takes off his flannel shirt
And he drapes it around her shoulders
Slides up behind her and holds on tight
And she says, "I don't want this night to end
Why does it have to end?"
Tomorrow she'll be rollin' down I-10 Baton Rouge
LSU 18 years in her rear view
He's got a Friday paycheck lined up down the block
At daddy's shop, it ain't much but it's a job
They've been dreadin' this moment all summer long
The night before life goes on
Ooh, a tear falls off her cheek and
Right when it hits his arm he says
"Come on baby, lets get outta here"
They take one last drive around town
And man it already looks different
He bangs the wheel and says
"Life ain't fair and this growin' up stuff man I don't know
I just don't wanna let you go"
Tomorrow shell be rollin' down I-10 Baton Rouge
LSU 18 years in her rear view

Yeah, there's nothin' you can do
There's nothin' you can say
And I know how it feels when love goes away
Tomorrow she'll be rollin' down I-10 Baton Rouge
LSU 18 years and hurry ya do
He's got a Friday paycheck lined up down the block
At daddy's shop, it ain't much but it's a job
They've been dreadin' this moment all summer long
But here it is they don't have long
The night before life goes on
This boy here wants to move too fast
He sees my future as having a past
Well, I don't think so
I don't think so
That boy there, well he's playing a fool
He thinks he's funny and he thinks he's cool
We'll I don't think so
I don't think so
Cheap date, bad taste, another night gone to waste
Talking about nothing in so many words
It's not like I'm not trying
'Cause I'll give anyone a shot once
And I close my eyes
And I kiss that frog
Each time finding
The more boys I meet the more I love my dog
Here's this guy, thinks he's bad to the bone
He wants to pick me up and take me home
Well, I don't think so
I don't think so
Cage fights, PlayStation, X-Games, raider nation
Oversize pants with an ego to match
It's not like I'm not trying
'Cause I'll give anyone a shot once
And I close my eyes
And, I kiss that frog
Each time finding
The more boys I meet the more I love my dog
Why can't they be like the one's that mean everything to me
Warm and loyal, open and friendly?
It's not like I'm not trying
'Cause I'll give anyone a shot once
I close my eyes
And, I kiss that frog
Each time finding
The more boys I meet the more I love my
I close my eyes
And, I kiss that frog
Each time finding
The more boys I meet the more I love my dog
Mama, you taught me to do the right things
So now you have to let your baby fly
You've given me everything that I will need
To make it through this crazy thing called life
And I know you watched me grow up
And only want what's best for me
And I think I found the answer to your prayers
And he is good, so good
He treats your little girl like a real man should
He is good, so good
He makes promises he keeps
No he's never gonna leave
So don't you worry about me
Don't you worry about me
Mama there's no way you'll ever lose me
Giving me away is not goodbye
As you watch me walk down to my future
I hope tears of joy are in your eyes
'Cause he is good, so good
And he treats your little girl like a real man should
He is good, so good
He makes promises he keeps
No he's never gonna leave
So don't you worry about me
Don't you worry about me
And when I watch my baby grow up
I'll only want what's best for her
And I hope she'll find the answer to my prayers
And that she'll say
He is good, so good
And he treats your little girl like a real man should
He is good, so good
He makes promises he keeps
No he's never gonna leave
So don't you worry about me
Don't you worry about me
Mama don't you worry about me
Funny how love can make you feel
Crush you like a ton of steel
Fake you out, make you think it's real
Funny how love can make you feel, yeah
Oh oh,
Oh oh yeah
(Chorus)
I just can't leave love alone,
I just can't leave love alone,
I just can't leave love alone,
I just can't leave love alone, hey
Ain't it funny how love can make you fly
Sweetest buzz and the highest high
When you can't walk to the other side
Ain't it funny how love can make you fly
Oh oh, I can't stop it
Oh oh, gotta have it, want it, I can't help it
(Chorus)
I just can't leave love alone,
I just can't leave love alone,(can't leave it alone)
I just can't leave love alone,
I just can't leave love alone, hey
Oh come on
Burn me once but it don't sink in
I just keep comin' back again yeah, yeah, yeah
I just can't leave love alone,
I just can't leave love alone,
I just can't leave love alone,
I just can't leave, I can't leave it
I just can't leave love alone,
I just can't leave love alone,
I just can't leave love alone,
I just can't leave, I can't leave it alone
Last night I got served a little bit too much of that poison, baby
Last night I did things I'm not proud of and I got a little crazy
Last night I met a guy on the dance floor and I let him call me baby
And I don't even know his last name
My momma would be so ashamed
It started off, "Hey cutie, where are you from?"
And then it turned into, "Oh no, what have I done?"
And I don't even know his last name
And he left the club about around 3 o'clock in the mornin?
His Pinto is sittin? there in the parkin? lot when it should?ve been a warnin?
And I had no clue what I was gettin? into so I blame it on the Cuervo
Oh, where did my manners go?
And I don't even know his last name
My momma would be so ashamed
It started off, "Hey cutie, where are you from?"
And then it turned into, "Oh no, what have I done?"
And I don't even know his last name, here we go!
Today I woke up thinkin' ?bout Elvis somewhere in Vegas, I'm not sure
How I got here or how this ring on my left hand just appeared
Outta nowhere, I gotta go, I take the chips and the Pinto and hit the road
They say what happens here stays here, all of this'll disappear
It's just one little problem
I don't even know my last name
My momma would be so ashamed
It started off, "Hey cutie, where are you from?"
And then it turned into, "Oh no, what have I done?"
And I don't even know my last name
What have I done? What have I done? What have I done?
Oh, what have I done? I don't even know my last name
When it turned into, "Oh no, what have I done?"
And I don't even know my last name
It started off, "Hey cutie, where are you from?"
And then it turned into, "Oh no, what have I done?"
And I don't even know my last name, oh yeah
It was two weeks after the day she turned 18
All dressed in white, goin? to the church that night
She had his box of letters in the passenger seat
Six pins in her shoe, somethin? borrowed, somethin? blue
And when the church doors opened up wide
She put her veil down, tryin? to hide the tears
Oh, she just couldn?t believe it
She heard the trumpets from the military band
And the flowers fell out of her hands
Baby, why'd you leave me? Why'd you have to go?
I was countin? on forever, now I'll never know
I can't even breathe
It's like I'm lookin? from a distance, standin? in the background
Everybody's sayin?, he's not comin? home now
This can't be happenin? to me, this is just a dream
The preacher man said, ?Let's bow our heads and pray
Lord, please lift his soul and heal this hurt"
Then the congregation all stood up and sang
The saddest song that she ever heard
And then they handed her a folded up flag
And she held on to all she had left of him
Oh, well, what could?ve been?
And then the guns rang one last shot
And it felt like a bullet in her heart
Baby, why'd you leave me? Why'd you have to go?
I was countin? on forever, now I'll never know
I can't even breathe
It's like I'm lookin? from a distance, standin? in the background
Everybody's sayin?, he's not comin? home now
This can't be happenin? to me, this is just a dream
Ooh, baby, why'd you leave me? Why'd you have to go?
I was countin? on forever, now I'll never know
Oh, I'll never know
It's like I'm lookin? from a distance, standin? in the background
Everybody's sayin?, he's not comin? home now
This can't be happenin? to me, this is just a dream
Oh, this is just a dream
It?s just a dream, yeah, yeah
She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati
On a snow white Christmas Eve
Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy
With the baby in the backseat
Fifty miles to go and she was running low
On faith and gasoline
It'd been a long hard year
She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention
She was going way too fast
Before she knew it she was spinning
On a thin black sheet of glass
She saw both their lives flash before her eyes
She didn't even have time to cry
She was so scared
She threw her hands up in the air
Jesus, take the wheel
Take it from my hands
?Cause I can't do this on my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on
Jesus, take the wheel
It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder
And the car came to a stop
She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat
Sleeping like a rock
And for the first time in a long time
She bowed her head to pray
She said I'm sorry for the way
I've been living my life
I know I've got to change
So from now on tonight
Jesus, take the wheel
Take it from my hands
?Cause I can't do this on my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on
Oh Jesus, take the wheel
Oh, I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on
From this road I'm on
Jesus, take the wheel
Oh, take it, take it from me
Oh, why, ooh
I've been down, now I'm blessed
I felt a revelation coming around
I guess it's right, it's so amazing
Every time I see you I'm alive
You're all I've got
You lift me up
The sun and the moonlight
All my dreams are in your eyes
I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
Where the storm blows your way
I wanna be the earth that holds you
Every bit of air you're breathing in, a soothin' wind
I wanna be inside your heaven
When we touch
When we love
The stars light up
The wrong becomes undone
Naturally
My soul surrenders
The sun and the moonlight
All my dreams are in your eyes
And I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
Where the storm blows your way
And I wanna be the earth that holds you
Every bit of air you're breathing in, a soothin' wind
I wanna be inside your heaven
When minutes turn to days and years
When mountains fall, I'll still be here
Holding you until the day I die
I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
Where the storm blows your way
And I wanna be inside in your heaven
I wanna be inside
Where the storm blows your way
And I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
Where the storm blows your way
And I wanna be the earth that holds you
Every bit of air you're breathing in, a soothing wind
I wanna be inside your heaven

Well she seemed alright by dawn's early light
Though she looked a little worried and weak
She tried to pretend he wasn't drinkin' again
But daddy left the proof on her cheek
And I was only eight years old that summer
And I always seemed to be in the way
So I took myself down to the fair in town
On Independence Day
Well word gets around in a small, small town
They said he was a dangerous man
But mama was proud and she stood her ground
She knew she was on the losing end
Some folks whispered,some folks talked
But everybody looked the other way
And when time ran out there was no one about
On Independence Day
Let freedom ring
Let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know that today
is a day of reckoning
Let the weak be strong
Let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away
Let the guilty pay
It's Independence Day
Well she lit up the sky that fourth of July
by the time that the fireman came
They just put out the flames and took down some names
And sent me to the county home
Now I ain't saying it's right or it's wrong
But maybe it's the only way
Talk about your revolution
It's Independence Day
Let freedom ring
Let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know that today
is a day of reckoning
let the weak be strong
Let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away
Let the guilty pay
[Originally performed by The Pretenders]
Oh why you look so sad
The tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don’t be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
Cause I’ve seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
So if you're mad get mad
Don’t hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey, what you got to hide
I get angry too
Well I’m a lot like you
When you're standing at the crossroads
And don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
Cause even if you're wrong
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
Take me in into you darkest hour
And I’ll never desert you
I’ll stand by you
And when, when the night falls on you, baby
You don't know what to do
You're feeling all alone
You won't be on your own
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
Take me in into you darkest hour
And I’ll never desert you
I’ll stand by you
Oh I’ll stand by you
Suppose I called you up tonight and told you that I loved you
And suppose I said "I wanna come back home".
And suppose I cried and said "I think I finally learned my lesson"
And I'm tired a-spendin' all my time alone.
If I told you that I realised you're all I ever wanted
And it's killin' me to be so far away.
Would you tell me that you loved me too and would we cry together?
Or would you simply laugh at me and say:
"I told you so, oh I told you so
I told you some day you come crawling back and asking me to take you in
I told you so, but you had to go
Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again".
If I got down on my knees and told you I was yours forever
Would you get down on yours too and take my hand?
Would we get that old time feelin', would we laugh and talk for hours
The way we did when our love first began?
Would you tell me that you'd missed me too and that you'd been so lonely
And you waited for the day that I returned.
And we'd live in love forever and that I'm your one and only
Or would you say the tables finally turned?
Would you say:
"I told you so, oh I told you so
I told you some day you come crawling back and asking me to take you in
I told you so, but you have to go
Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again".
I know you don't mean to be mean to me
'Cause when you want to
You can make me feel like we belong
We belong
Lately you make me feel all I am is a backup plan
I'll say I'm done and then you smile at me
And I'll forget everything I said
I buy into those eyes
And into your lies
You say you'll call but I know you
You say you're comin' home but I know you
You say you'll call but I know you won't
You say you'll call but I know you won't
I wish you were where you're supposed to be
Close to me
But here I am just starin' at this candle burnin' out
There's still no sound
Of footsteps on my stairs
Or your voice anywhere
You say you'll call but I know you
You say you're comin' home but I know you
You say you'll call but I know you won't
You say you'll call but I know you won't
You say you'll call but I know you
You'll say you're comin' home but I know you
You'll say you'll call but I know you won't
You say you'll call but I know you won't
Lately, nothing I do, ever seems to please you
And maybe, turning my back would be that much easier
'Cause hurtful words are all that we exchange
But I can't watch you walk away
Can I forget about the way it feels to touch you?
And all about the good times that we've been through
Could I wake up without you every day?
And would I let you walk away?
No, I can't learn to live without
And I can't give up on us now
Oh, I know I could say we're through and tell myself I'm over you
But even if I made a vow, I promise not to miss you now
And try to hide the truth inside, I fell 'cause I, I just can't live a lie
Could I forget the look that tells me that you want me?
And all the reasons that make loving you so easy
The kiss that always makes it hard to breathe
The way, you know, just what I mean
No, I can't learn to live without
Oh, so don't you give up on us now
Oh, I know I could say we're through and tell myself I'm over you
But even if I made a vow, I promise not to miss you now
And try to hide the truth inside, I fell 'cause I, I just can't live a lie
Oh, and I don't wanna try
Oh, I know I could say we're through and tell myself I'm over you
But even if I made a vow, I promise not to miss you now
And try to hide the truth inside, I fell 'cause I, I just can't live a lie
I just can't live a lie
But even if I made a vow, I promise not to miss you now
And try to hide the truth inside, I fell 'cause I, I just can't live a lie
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat
But always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances
But they're worth taking
Lovin' might be a mistake
But it's worth making
Don't let some hell bent heart
Leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out
Reconsider
Give the heavens above
More than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
(Time is a real and constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who)
I hope you dance
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
(Where those years have gone)
I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
Dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
(Time is a real and constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who)
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
I hope you dance
(Where those years have gone)
(Tell me who)
I hope you dance
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
Where 69 meets 40,
There's a single stop light town,
And back when I was really young,
A part of that burned down,
On any given Friday night,
We'd drive a hundred miles,
Between the Sonic and the Grocery Store,
Laughing all the while,
With as many friends as I could pack,
In my daddy's Ford,
But I ain't in Checotah anymore.
My hotel in Manhattan,
Holds more people than our town,
And what I just paid for dinner,
Would be a down payment on a house,
I'd rather be tipping cows in Tulsa,
Than hailing cabs here in New York,
But I ain't in Checotah anymore.
I'm in a world so wide,
It makes me feel small sometimes,
I miss the big blue skies,
the Oklahoma kind.
In a world of long red carpets,
The bright lights of Hollywood,
All the paparazzi flashing,
Could make a girl feel pretty good,
You can get anything you want here,
Except a Wal-Mart store,
But I ain't in Checotah anymore.
I'm in a world so wide,
It makes me feel small sometimes,
I miss the big blue skies,
the Oklahoma kind.
Where the Wildcats beat the Ironheads,
Old Settler's day and the Okrafest,
After prom, down at the bowling lanes,
Catching crappie fish in Eufaula lake,
I ain't in Checotah anymore.
I'm in a world so wide,
It makes me feel small sometimes,
I miss the big blue skies,
the Oklahoma kind,
But I ain't in Checotah,
No I ain't in Checotah,
Oh, there's nothing like Oklahoma.
Where 69 meets 40,
How Great Thou Art lyrics
Oh Lord my God
When I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds
Thy hands have made
I see the stars
I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout
The universe displayed
Then sings my soul
My Savior, God, to Thee
How great thou art
How great thou art
Then sings my soul
My Savior, God, to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art
When through the woods
And forest glades I wander
I hear the birds
Sing sweetly in the trees;
When I look down
From lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook
And feel the gentle breeze;
Then sings my soul
My Savior, God, to Thee
How great thou art
How great thou art
Then sings my soul
My Savior, God, to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art
I think of God,
His son not sparing,
Sent Him to die,
I scarce can take it in;
That on the cross, my burden
gladly bearing He bled and died
to take away my sin
Then sings my soul
My Savior, God, to Thee
How great thou art
How great thou art
Then sings my soul
My Savior, God, to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art
When Christ shall come
With shout of acclamation
And take me home
What joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow
With humble adoration
And then proclaim My God
How great Thou art
Then sings my soul
My Savior, God, to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art
Then sings my soul
My Savior, God, to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art
How great Thou art
I heard you laughing
In a crowd outside a restaurant we used to go to
Caught a glimpse that caught me in my tracks
It took me back
You looked happy
With that little girl up on your shoulders, happy
I know where she got those crystal eyes of blue
Time's been sweet to you
Chorus:
As bad as it was
As bad as it hurts
I thank God I didn't get what I thought that I deserved
Sometimes life leads you down a different road
When you're holding onto someone that you gotta let go
Someday you'll see the reason why
Sometimes, yeah sometimes
There's good in goodbye
I don't regret it
The time we had together
I won't forget it
But we both ended up where we belong
I guess goodbye made us strong
And yeah I'm happy
I found somebody too who makes me happy
And I knew one day I'd see you on the street
And it'd be bittersweet
Chorus:
But as bad as it was
As bad as it hurts
I thank God I didn't get what I thought that I deserved
Sometimes life leads you down a different road
When you're holding onto someone that you gotta let go
Someday you'll see the reason why
Yeah sometimes, yeah sometimes
There's good in goodbye
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
As bad as it was
Yeah as bad as it hurt
I thank God I didn't get what I thought that I deserved
Sometimes life leads you down a different road
When you're holding onto someone that you've got to let go
Someday you'll see the reason why
Yeah, someday you'll see the reason why
There's good in goodbye
Yeah, yeah
Hey, good girl
With your head in the clouds
I bet you I can tell you
What you're thinkin' about
You'll see a good boy
Gonna give you the world
But he's gonna leave you cryin'
With your heart in the dirt
His lips are dripping honey
But he'll sting you like a bee
So lock up all your loving
Go and throw away the key
Hey good girl
Get out while you can
I know you think you got a good man
[Hook]
Why, why you gotta be so blind?
Won't you open up your eyes?
It's just a matter of time 'til you find
He's no good, girl
No good for you
You better get to getting on your goodbye shoes and go, go, go...
Better listen to me
He's low, low, low...
Hey, good girl
You got a heart of gold
You want a white wedding
And a hand you can hold
Just like you should, girl
Like every good girl does
Want a fairytale ending, somebody to love
But he's really good at lying
Yeah, he'll leave you in the dust
'Cause when he says forever
Well, it don't mean much
Hey good girl
So good for him
Better back away honey
You don't know where he's been
[Hook]
Why, why you gotta be so blind?
Won't you open up your eyes?
It's just a matter of time 'till you find
He's no good, girl
No good for you
You better get to getting on your goodbye shoes and go, go, go...
Yeah yeah yeah, he's low
Yeah yeah yeah
[Bridge]
Oh, He's no good, girl
Why can't you see?
He'll take your heart and break it
Listen to me, yeah
[Hook]
Why, why you gotta be so blind?
Won't you open up your eyes?
It's just a matter of time 'til you find
He's no good, he's no good
Won't you open up your eyes?
It's just a matter of time 'til you find
He's no good, girl
He's no good for you
Got it all figured out inside of my head
There's a bag packed up at the foot of my bed
You say the word, baby I'm all set
We'll cover our tracks, tell a couple white lies
Make sure we got a good alibi
And by the time they catch on, we'll be outta their sight
Long gone, baby
Let's get out of this town tonight
Nothing but dust in the shadows
Gone by morning light
Somewhere we won't ever get caught, ever be found
Baby, let's just get out of this town
Don't need directions, don't need a map
If we get lost I'll be good with that
Yeah we'll find a way to make the time pass
Window rolled down with the heat on high
Stars all aligned in a runaway sky
Holding my hand as the miles roll by
Long gone, baby
Let's get out of this town tonight
Nothing but dust in the shadows
Gone by morning light
Somewhere we won't ever get caught, ever be found
Baby, let's just get out of this town
If we leave tonight and drive fast enough
All of our troubles will be just like us
Long gone, baby
Let's get out of this town tonight
Nothing but dust in the shadows
Gone by morning light
Somewhere we won't ever get caught, ever be found
Yeah, let's just get out of this town
Let's get out of this town tonight
Yeah, we won't ever get caught, ever be found
Eighteen years had come and gone
For Momma they flew by
But for me they drug on and on
We were loadin' up that Chevy
Both tryin' not to cry
Momma kept on talkin', puttin' off goodbye
Then she took my hand and said
?Baby don't forget?
?Before you hit the highway
You better stop for gas
And there's a fifty in the ashtray
In case you run short on cash?
?Here's a map and here's a Bible
If you ever lose your way
Just one more thing before you leave
Don't forget to remember me?
This downtown apartment
Sure makes me miss home
And those bills there on the counter
Keep tellin' me I'm on my own
And just like every Sunday
I called Mama up last night
And even when it's not
I tell her everything's all right
Before we hung up I said
?Hey Mama don't forget?
?To tell my baby sister
I'll see her in the fall
And tell Mee-Mal that I miss her
Yeah I should give her a call?
?And make sure you tell daddy
That I'm still his little girl
Yeah I still feel like I'm where I'm supposed to be
But don't forget to remember me?
Tonight I find myself kneelin' by the bed to pray
I haven't done this in a while
So I don't know what to say
But Lord I feel so small sometimes
In this big old place
Yeah I know there's more important things
But don't forget to remember me
I'm flat on the floor with my head down low
Where the sky can't rain on me anymore
Don't knock on my door 'cause I won't come
I'm hidin' from the storm 'til the damage gets done
Baby, baby, baby, baby, tell me why
You gotta make me, make me, make me
Make me, make me cry? Oh Lord
If I told you once, I told you a thousand times
You can't knock me off my feet
When I'm already on my knees
'Cause I'm flat on the floor with my head down low
Where the sky can't rain on me anymore
Don't knock on my door 'cause I won't come
I'm hidin' from the storm 'til the damage gets done
Baby, baby, baby, baby tell me how
You think you're gonna live without my love now?
I don't know why you gotta keep comin' around
Creepin' up my street
Oh boy, you can't bother me
Now I'm flat on the floor with my head down low
Where the sky can't rain on me anymore
Don't knock on my door 'cause I won't come
I'm hidin' from the storm 'til the damage gets done
You ain't gonna get to me tonight
I'll lay right here 'til it all blows through
I ain't gonna raise my body 'til there ain't no sun
'Til there ain't no sun, 'til there ain't no sun to you
'Cause I'm flat on the floor with my head down low
Where the sky can't rain on me anymore
Don't knock on my door 'cause I won't come
I'm hidin' from the storm 'til the damage gets
I'm flat on the floor with my head down low
Where the sky can't rain on me anymore
Don't knock on my door 'cause I won't come
I'm hidin' from the storm 'til the damage gets
Now I'm flat on the floor with my head down low
Where the sky can't rain on me anymore
Don't knock on my door 'cause I won't come
I'm hidin' from the storm 'til the damage gets done
Don't knock on my door
Ever ever after
Storybook endings, fairy tales coming true
Deep down inside we want to believe they still do
And a secret is taught, it's our favorite part of the story
Let's just admit we all want to make it too
Ever ever after
If we just don't get it our own way
Ever ever after
It may only be a wish away
Starting your fashion, wear your heart on your sleeve
Sometimes you reach what's real just by making believe
Unafraid, unashamed
There is joy to be claimed in this world
You even might wind up being glad to be you
Ever ever after
Though the world will tell you it's not smart
Ever ever after
The world can be yours if you let your heart
Believe in ever after
No wonder your heart feels it's flying
Your head feels it's spinning
Each happy ending's a brand new beginning
Let yourself be enchanted, you just might break through
To ever ever after
Forever could even start today
Ever ever after
Maybe it's just one wish away
Your ever ever after
Ever, ever, ever after
I've been dreaming of a true love's kiss
Said the night wind to the little lamb
Do you see what I see
Way up in the sky little lamb
Do you see what I see
A star, a star
Dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite
Said the little lamb to the shepard boy
Do you hear what I hear
(Do You Hear What I Hear)
Ringing through the sky shepard boy
Do you hear what I hear
(Do hear What i hear)
A song, a song
High above the trees
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea
Said the shepard boy to the mighty king
Do you know what I know
(Do You Know What I Know)
In your palace wall mighty king
Do you know what I know
(Do You Know What I Know)
A child, a child
Shivers in the cold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Said the king to the people everywhere
Listen to what I say
( Listen to what I say)
Pray for peace people everywhere
Listen to what I say
(Listen to what I Say)
The child, the child
Sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light
Oh he gave up on arrows a long, long time ago
Turns out I’m too hard to hit so he put away his bow
I might just keep on runnin’ from here to Timbuktu
‘Cause he gave up on arrows and I ain’t bulletproof
[Chorus]
Yeah Cupid’s got a shotgun aiming at my heart
I’ve been dodging bullets, I’ve been hiding in the dark
Shot a double barrel, trigger happy as could be
Cupid’s got a shotgun and he’s pointing it at me
He’s sitting in that treestand and his wings are camouflage
I’m dug down in my foxhole waiting on his next barrage
Must be open season, got a target on my back
Think he’s throwing love grenades and I’m under attack
[Chorus]
Yeah Cupid’s got a shotgun aiming at my heart
I’ve been dodging bullets, I’ve been hiding in the dark
Shot a double barrel, trigger happy as could be
Cupid’s got a shotgun and he’s pointing it at me, yeah
[Bridge]
Well he’s got me in his sights, I’ve got a red dot on my chest
But little does he know I strapped on my Kevlar vest
I pulled out my Remington and I loaded up these shells
He’s about to find out I’m a dang good shot myself
[Chorus]
Yeah Cupid’s got a shotgun aiming at my heart
I’ve been dodging bullets, I’ve been hiding in the dark
Shot a double barrel, trigger happy as could be
Cupid’s got a shotgun and he’s pointing it at me
Yeah Cupid’s got a shotgun
Hello you long shots
You dark horse runners
Hairbrush singers, dashboard drummers
Hello you wild magnolias
Just waiting to bloom
There's a little bit of all that inside of me and you
Thank God even crazy dreams come true
I stood at the bottom of some walls I thought I couldn't climb
I felt like Cinderella at the ball just running out of time
So I know how it feels to be afraid
Thank God it's all gonna slip away
Hold on, hold on
Here's to you free souls, you firefly chasers
Tree climbers, porch swingers, air guitar players
Here's to you fearless dancers, shaking walls in your bedrooms
There's a lot of wonder left inside of me and you
Thank God even crazy dreams come true
Never let a bad day be enough
To go and talk you in to giving up
Sometimes everybody feels like you
Oh, feels like you, just like you
Yeah
I've met some go-getters
Some difference makers
Small town heroes, and big chance takers
I've met some young hearts with something to prove
Oh, yeah
Here's to you long shots
You dark horse runners
Hairbrush singers, and dashboard drummers
Here's to you wild magnolias
Just waiting to bloom
There's a little bit of all that inside of me and you
Thank God even crazy dreams come true
Thank God even crazy dreams come true
You better take it from me
That boy is like a disease
You run and you try and you're tryin' to hide
And you're wondering why you can't get free
He's like a curse, he's like a drug
You'll get addicted to his love
You wanna get out, but he's holdin' you down
'Cause you can't live without one more touch
He's a, a good time, cowboy Casanova
Leaning up against the record machine
He looks like a cool drink of water
But he's candy-coated misery
He's the devil in disguise, a snake with blue eyes
And he only comes out at night
Gives you feelings that you don't want to fight
You better run for your life
I see that look on your face
You ain't hearing what I say
So I'll say it again, 'cause I been where you been
And I know how it ends, you can't get away
Don't even look in his eyes
He'll tell you nothing but lies
And you wanna believe but you won't be deceived
If you listen to me and take my advice
He's a, a good time, cowboy Casanova
Leaning up against the record machine
He looks like a cool drink of water
But he's candy-coated misery
He's the devil in disguise, a snake with blue eyes
And he only comes out at night
Gives you feelings that you don't want to fight
You better run for your life
Run run away, don't let him mess with your mind
He'll tell you anything you wanna hear
He'll break your heart, it's just a matter of time
But just remember
He's a, a good time, cowboy Casanova
Leaning up against the record machine
He looks like a cool drink of water
But he's candy-coated misery
He's the devil in disguise, a snake with blue eyes
And he only comes out at night
Gives you feelings that you don't want to fight
You better run for your life
Oh, you better run for your life
What'cha gonna do with the 36 cents
Sticky with Coke on your floorboard
When a woman on the street is huddled in the cold
On a sidewalk vent trying to keep warm
Do you call her over hand her the change
Ask her a story ask her her name
Or do you tell yourself
You're just a fool
Just a fool
To believe you can change the world
You're just a fool
Just a fool
To believe you can change the world
What'cha gonna do when you're watching t.v.
And an ad comes on
Yeah you know the kind
Flashin' up pictures of a child in need
For a dime a day you can save a life
Do you call the number reach out a hand
Or do you change the channel call it a scam
Or do you tell yourself
You're just a fool
Just a fool
To believe you can change the world
Don't listen to them when they say
You're just a fool
Just a fool
To believe you can change the world
Oh the smallest thing can make all the difference
Love is alive
Don't listen to them when they say
You're just a fool
Just a fool
To believe you can change the world
The worlds so big it could break your heart
And you just wanna help
But not sure where to start
so you close your eyes
Send up a prayer into the dark
You're just a fool
Just a fool
To believe you can change the world
Don't listen to them when they say
You're just a fool
Just a fool
To believe you can change the world
Oh the smallest thing can make all the difference
Love is alive
Don't you listen to them when they say
You're just a fool
Just a fool
Dry lightning cracks across the skies
Those storm clouds gather in her eyes
Her daddy was a mean old mister
Mama was an angel in the ground
The weather man called for a twister
She prayed blow it down
There’s not enough rain in Oklahoma
To wash the sins out of that house
There’s not enough wind in Oklahoma
To rip the nails out of the past
[Chorus:]
Shatter every window 'til it’s all blown away,
Every brick, every board, every slamming door blown away
'til there’s nothing left standing,
Nothing left of yesterday
Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away,
Blown away
She heard those sirens screaming out
Her daddy laid there passed out on the couch
She locked herself in the cellar
Listened to the screaming of the wind
Some people called it taking shelter
She called it sweet revenge
[Chorus:]
Shatter every window 'til it’s all blown away,
Every brick, every board, every slamming door blown away
'til there’s nothing left standing,
Nothing left of yesterday
Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away,
Blown away
There’s not enough rain in Oklahoma
To wash the sins out of that house
There’s not enough wind in Oklahoma
To rip the nails out of the past
Shatter every window 'til it’s all blown away (blown away)
Every brick, every board, every slamming door blown away (blown away)
'til there’s nothing left standing,
Nothing left of yesterday (blown away)
Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away,
Right now he's probably slow dancing
With a bleached-blond tramp
And she's probably getting frisky
Right now, he's probably buying
Her some fruity little drink
'Cause she can't shoot whiskey
Right now, he's probably up behind her
With a pool stick
Showing her how to shoot a combo
And he don't know
I dug my key into the side
Of his pretty little souped-up 4 wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seat
I took a Louisville slugger to both head lights
Slashed a hole in all 4 tires
And maybe next time he'll think before he cheats
Right now, she's probably up singing some
White-trash version of Shania karaoke
Right now, she's probably saying, "I'm drunk"
And he's a thinking that he's gonna get lucky
Right now, he's probably dabbing on 3 dollars
Worth of that bathroom Polo
Oh and he don't know
That I dug my key into the side
Of his pretty little souped-up 4 wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seat
I took a Louisville slugger to both head lights
Slashed a hole in all 4 tires
And maybe next time he'll think before he cheats
I might've saved a little trouble for the next girl
'Cause the next time that he cheats
Oh, you know it won't be on me!
No, not on me
'Cause I dug my key into the side
Of his pretty little souped-up 4 wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seat
I took a Louisville slugger to both head lights
Slashed a hole in all 4 tires
Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats
Oh, maybe next time he'll think before he cheats
Oh, before he cheats
Yeah (4x)
Since the day they got married
He'd been praying for a little
Baby boy someone he could take
Fishing throw the football and
Be his pride and joy he could
Already see him holding that
Trophy taking his team to state
But when the nurse came in with
A little pink blanket all those
Big dreams changed
And now he's wrapped around her
Finger she's the center of his
Whole world and his heart
Belongs to that sweet little
Beautiful wonderful perfect all
American girl
Sixteen short years later she
Was falling for the senior
Football star before you knew it
He was dropping passes skipping
Practice just to spend more time
With her the coach said hey son
What's your problem tell me have
You lost your mind daddy said
You'll lose your free ride to
College boy you better tell her
Goodbye
But now he's wrapped around her
Finger she's the center of his
Whole world and his heart
Belongs to that sweet little
Beautiful wonderful perfect all
American girl
And when they got married and
Decided to have one of their own
She said be honest tell me what
You want and he said honey you
Outta know
A sweet little beautiful one
Just like you oh a beautiful
Wonderful perfect All American
Now he's wrapped around her
Finger she's the center of his
Whole world and his heart
Belongs to that sweet little
Beautiful wonderful perfect all
American girl
There's some things that I regret
Some words I wish had gone unsaid
Some starts that had some better endings
Been some bad times I've been through
Damage I cannot undo
Some things, I wish I could do all all over again
But it don't really matter, life gets that much harder
It makes you that much stronger
Oh, some pages turned, some bridges burned
But there were lessons learned
Every tear that had to fall from my eyes
Everyday I wonder how I get through the night
Every change, life has thrown me
I'm thankful, for every break in my heart, I'm grateful, for every time
Some pages turned, some bridges burned
But there were lessons learned
There's mistakes that I have made
Some chances I just threw away
Some roads, I never should've taken
Been some signs I shouldn't see
Hearts that I hurt needlessly
Some roads that I wish I could have one more chance to make
But it don't make no difference
The past can't be rewritten, you get the life you're given
Oh, some pages turned, some bridges burned
But there were lessons learned
And every tear that had to fall from my eyes
Everyday I wonder how I get through the night
Every change, life has thrown me
I'm thankful, for every break in my heart, I'm grateful, for every time
Some pages turned, some bridges burned
But there were lessons learned
And all the things that break you, all the things that make you strong
You can't change the past, 'cause it's gone
And nothing's gotta go, because they are gone
Lessons learned
Every tear that had to fall from my eyes
From everyday I wonder how I get through the night
From every change, life has thrown me
I'm thankful, for every break in my heart, I'm grateful, for every time
Some pages turned, some bridges burned
But there were lessons learned
Oh, some pages turned, some bridges burned
Did you check the tires?
Put gas in the car?
I don?t think you?ll need too much
?Cause you ain?t gonna get that far
Did you pack the good times?
Don?t forget a map
Just in case the route you take
Isn?t there to take you back
You can hold any girl that you like
Fall in love when it?s easy at night
But you wake up wondering why
She ain?t ever something better
When you?re lost and you?ve run out of road
Find what I already know
In the end close is all there is
But you won?t find this
No, you won?t find this
There?s once in a lifetime
And there?s once in a while
And the difference between the two
Is about a million miles
Oh, you might get lucky
While the moon is looking on
But in the truth of the morning
The stars will be long gone
You can hold any girl that you like
Fall in love when it?s easy at night
But you wake up wondering why
She ain?t ever something better
When you?re lost and you?ve run out of road
Find what I already know
In the end close is all there is
But you won?t find this
You can hold any girl that you like
Fall in love when it?s easy at night
But you wake up wondering why
She ain?t ever something better
When you?re lost and you?ve run out of road
Find what I already know
In the end close is all there is
Oh, in the end it?s me you?re gonna miss
?Cause you won?t find this
Once upon a time
our world was on fire
and I loved to watch it burn
Wild and reckless
never any limits
Guess I had a lot to learn
This fire turns to embers
embers to ashes
they blow away too soon
now everything after you
is like having
Wine after Whiskey
it went from "Do anything for you, babe"
to " you don't even miss me"
Once you've tasted a love that's strong
You can't go back and you can't settle on
anything less and that's what gets me
It's like having wine after whiskey
Looking back I guess
it's really for the best
Still you're something that I crave
Even though I know
it was right to let you go
You're a habit hard to break
I got used to being high
and nothing that I try seems
good enough right now
It's all salt water now
Like having
Wine after Whiskey
it went from "Do anything for you, babe"
to " you don't even miss me"
Once you've tasted a love that strong
You can't go back and you can't settle on
anything less and that's what gets me
It's like having wine after whiskey
Once you've tasted a love that strong
You can't go back and you can't settle on
anything less and that's what gets me
It's like having wine
It's like having wine
Who are you
The one for who I’d really gladly suffer
Who are you
The one I’d always love above another
You’re my world
You’re my hope
You’re all my dreams
And all my heart
[Chorus]
Who are you
The one I'd give my life to
Who are you
That loves as deep as I do
Who are you
Who takes me through the flood and through the fire
Who are you
Who leads me through the desert and the dry
You’re in my thoughts
You know my mind
You are my fate
You are my light
[Chorus]
Who are you
The one I'd give my life to
Who are you
That loves as deep as I do
[Bridge]
You’re my savior
You’re my center
My beginning and my end
The one I live for
You’re my angel
Who are you
You’re in my thoughts (in my thoughts)
You know my mind (you know my mind)
You are my fate
You are my light
[Outro]
Who are you
The one I'd give my life to
Who are you
That loves as deep as I do
Who are you
Who fell on me like fire
Who are you
Who chained me to desire
Who are you
While we're young and beautiful,
Kiss me like you mean it,
Treat me like I'm special,
Cover me with sweetness,
Cause a time will come,
When we're not so young, and beautiful,
While we're young and beautiful,
Living free and easy,
Here without a worry,
Dancing in our bare feet,
Cause when the summer's done,
We might not be so young, and beautiful.
It's a crazy ride,
And baby, you and I,
Are keeping our sweet love alive,
Tonight, while we're young and beautiful.
While we're young and beautiful,
We'll party down on Main street,
Wearing next to nothing,
Feeling every heart beat,
Having fun, while we're still young and beautiful.
It's a crazy ride,
And baby, you and I,
Are keeping our sweet love alive,
Tonight, while we're young and beautiful.
Beautiful,
Beautiful,
Young and beautiful,
Beautiful,
Beautiful,
Young and beautiful.
It's a crazy ride,
And baby, you and I,
Are keeping our sweet love alive,
Tonight, while we're young and beautiful.
Oh, so beautiful.
While we're young and beautiful,
Cover me with sweetness,
While we're young and beautiful,
Kiss me like you mean it,
Like you mean it,
Like you mean it,
Like you mean it,
Like you do,
Oh, yeah,
I should've known by the way you passed me by
There was something in your eyes and it wasn't right
I should've walked, but I never had the chance
Everything got out of hand, and I let it slide
Now I only have myself to blame
For falling for your stupid games
I wish my life could be the way
It was before I saw your face
You stole my happy, you made me cry
Took the lonely, and took me for a ride
And I wanna undo it
You had my heart, now I want it back
I'm starting to see everything you lack
Boy you blew it, you put me through it
I wanna undo it
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na na
Now your photos don't have a picture frame
And I never say your name, and I never will
And all your things, well, I threw them in the trash
And I'm not even sad
Now you only have yourself to blame
For playing all those stupid games
You're always going to be the same
Oh no, you'll never change
You stole my happy, you made me cry
Took the lonely, and took me for a ride
And I wanna undo it
You had my heart, now I want it back
I'm starting to see everything you lack
Boy you blew it, you put me through it
I wanna undo it
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na na
You want my future, you can't have it
I'm still trying to erase you from my past
I need you gone so fast
You stole my happy, you made me cry
Took the lonely, and took me for a ride
And I wanna undo it
You had my heart, now I want it back
I'm starting to see everything you lack
Boy you blew it, you put me through it
I wanna undo it
You stole my happy, you made me cry
Took the lonely, and took me for a ride
Boy you blew it, you put me through it
Two black Cadillacs driving in a slow parade
Headlights shining bright in the middle of the day
One’s for his wife,
The other for the woman who loved him at night
Two black Cadillacs meeting for the first time
And the preacher said he was a good man
And his brother said he was a good friend
But the women in the two black veils didn’t bother to cry
Bye, Bye
Yeah they took turns and put a rose down
Threw a handful of dirt into the deep ground
He’s not the only one who had a secret to hide
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Two black cadillacs, two black cadillacs
Two months ago his wife called the number on his phone
Turns out he been lying to both of them for oh so long
They decided then he’d never get away with doing this to them
Two black cadillacs waiting for the right time, right time
And the preacher said he was a good man
And his brother said he was a good friend
But the women in the two black veils didn’t bother to cry
Bye bye, Bye bye
Yeah they took turns and put a rose down
Threw a handful of dirt into the deep ground
He’s not the only one who had a secret to hide
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Yeah yeah
It was the first time and last time they saw each other face to face
They shared a crimson smile and just walked away
And left the secret at the grave
And the preacher said he was a good man
And his brother said he was a good friend
But the women in the two black veils didn’t bother to cry
Bye bye, Bye bye
Yeah they took turns and put a rose down
Threw a handful of dirt into the deep ground
He’s not the only one who had a secret to hide
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Maybe its the way that the stars are aligned
That's making me feel this way tonight
Maybe its the words you left unsaid
Maybe its the stardust in my head
But I wanna tell ya, that my heart is bustin' at the seams
Yeah, and I can't wait another minute
Life is short
Love is sweet
Ain't no time like this time, baby
Maybe its the way that the night is still
Or the sound of the rain on my windowsill
Thats making all the pieces fit
Making it all make perfect sense
But I wanna tell ya, that my heart is bustin' at the seams
Yeah, and I can't wait another minute
Oh, life is short
Love is sweet
Ain't no time like this time, baby
Ooooh yeah
It goes by so fast
Can't get it back
There ain't no time
Like this time...
Yeah, I just wanna tell ya, that my heart is bustin' at the seams
Yeah, and I can't wait another minute
Ohh, life is short
Love is sweet
Ain't no time like this time, baby.
My little baby
Maybe its the way that the stars are aligned
And there ain't no time, ain't no time,
Ain't no time like this time, baby
Oooohh yeah.
Maybe its the way that the night is still
Or the sound of the rain on my windowsill
There's a place out there for us
More than just a prayer or anything
You've ever dreamed of so if you
Feel like giving up cause you don't
Fit in down here fear is crashing in
Close your eyes and take my hand
We can be the kings and queens of
Anything if we believe it's written
In the stars that shine above a
World where you and I belong where
Faith and love will keep us strong
Exactly who we are is just enough
There's a place for us (2x)
When the water meets the sky where
Your heart is free and hope comes
Back to life when these broken
Hands are whole again we will find
What we've been waiting for we were
Made for so much more
We can be the kings and queens of
Anything if we believe it's written
In the stars that shine above a
World where you and I belong where
Faith and love will keep us strong
Exactly who we are is just enough
There's a place for us (2x)
So hold on (2x) there’s a place for
We can be the kings and queens of
Anything if we believe it's written
In the stars that shine above a
World where you and I belong where
Faith and love will keep us strong
Exactly who we are is just enough
There's a place for us
A world where you and I belong where
Faith and love will keep us strong
Exactly who we are is just enough
I was sitting on my doorstep,
I hung up the phone and it fell out of my hand,
But I knew I had to do it,
And he wouldn't understand,
So hard to see myself without him,
I felt a piece of my heart break,
But when you're standing at a crossroad,
There's a choice you gotta make.
[Chorus:]
I guess it's gonna have to hurt,
I guess I'm gonna have to cry,
And let go of some things I've loved,
To get to the other side,
I guess it's gonna break me down,
Like falling when you try to fly,
It's sad, but sometimes moving on with the rest of your life,
Starts with goodbye.
I know there's a blue horizon,
Somewhere up ahead, just waiting for me,
Getting there means leaving things behind,
Sometimes life's so bitter sweet.
[Chorus:]
I guess it's gonna have to hurt,
I guess I'm gonna have to cry,
And let go of some things I've loved,
To get to the other side,
I guess it's gonna break me down,
Like falling when you try to fly,
It's sad, but sometimes moving on with the rest of your life,
Starts with goodbye.
Time heals,
The wounds that you feel,
Somehow, right now...
[Chorus:]
I guess it's gonna have to hurt,
I guess I'm gonna have to cry,
And let go of some things I've loved,
To get to the other side,
I guess it's gonna break me down,
Like falling when you try to fly,
It's sad, but sometimes moving on with the rest of your life,
Starts with goodbye,
I guess I'm gonna have to cry,
And let go of some things I've loved,
To get to the other side,
Starts with goodbye,
Like falling when you try to fly,
It's sad, but sometimes moving on with the rest of your life,
Starts with goodbye,
One foot on the bus
Bout half past nine
I knew that you were leaving this time
I thought about laying down in its path
Thinking that you might get off for that
I remember that night we laid in bed
Naming all our kids that we hadn't had yet
One for your grandma and one for mine
Said we'd draw straws when it came time
I'll move on baby just like you
When the desert floods and the grass turns blue
When a sailing ship don't need her moon
It'll break my heart but I'll get through
Someday when I stop loving you
I bet all I had on a thing called love
Guess in the end it wasn't enough
And it's hard to watch you leave right now
I'm gonna have to let you go somehow
Somehow
I'll move on baby just like you
When the desert floods and the grass turns blue
When a sailing ship don't need her moon
It'll break my heart but I'll get through
Someday when I stop loving you
Oooh.. oh someday.. oh someday
I'll move on baby just like you
When the desert floods and the grass turns blue
When a sailing ship don't need her moon
It'll break my heart but I'll get through
All the raindrops
In the sky tonight
Can't compare with all the pain
And all the tears I've cried
But now I'm done
All the make believe
Locked in this picture frame
Is gonna stay behind
Along with all the burning rage
That's been tearing through my heart
It killing me slowly
Every beat, I was falling apart
Sometimes you give
Sometimes they take
Sometimes you bend
And sometimes they break you down
Sometimes you stick around
Trying to change them
Make them someone that they'll never be
And sometimes you leave
All this time I've spent
Staring at the door
I never had the strength
To pack my bags and leave before
But now I'm done
Lying to myself when it's clear
That you're not that one
Sometimes you give
Sometimes they take
Sometimes you bend
And sometimes they break you down
Sometimes you stick around
Trying to change them
Make them someone that they'll never be
And sometimes you leave
When there's nothing left
For me to leave behind
And you're already too far gone
To say goodbye
Sometimes you give
Sometimes they take
Sometimes you bend
And sometimes they break you down
Sometimes you stick around
Trying to change them
Make them someone that they'll never be
And sometimes you leave
I've never been the kind that you'd call lucky
Always stumbling' around in circles
But I must have stumbled into something
Look at me
Am I really alone with you
I wake up feeling like my life's worth living
Can't recall when I last felt that way
Guess it must be all this love you're giving
Never knew never knew it could be like this
But I guess
Some hearts
They just get all the right breaks
Some hearts have the stars on their side
Some hearts,
They just have it so easy
Some hearts just get lucky sometimes
Some hearts just get lucky, lucky sometimes
Now who'd have thought someone like you could love me
You're the last thing my heart expected
Who'd have thought I'd ever find somebody
Someone who someone who makes me feel like this
Well I guess
Some hearts
They just get all the right breaks
Some hearts have the stars on their side, yes
Some hearts,
They just have it so easy
Some hearts just get lucky sometimes
Some hearts just get lucky sometimes
Ohhhhhh
Even hearts like mine
Get lucky, lucky sometimes
Even hearts like mine
Ohhhhhhhh
Some hearts,
They just get all the right breaks
Some hearts have the stars on their side
Some hearts,
They just have it so easy
Some hearts just get lucky sometimes
Some hearts
They just get all the right breaks
Some hearts have the stars on their side, yes
Some hearts,
They just have it so easy
Some hearts just get lucky sometimes
What you got if you ain't got love?
The kind that you just wanna give away
It's okay to open up
Go ahead and let the light shine through
I know it's hard on a rainy day
You wanna shut the world out
And just be left alone
But don't run out on your faith
'Cause sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
Is just a grain of sand
And what you've been out there searching for forever
Is in your hands
And when you figure out
Love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
Seem so small
It's so easy to get lost inside
A problem that seems so big at the time
It's like a river that's so wide
It swallows you whole
While you're sitting around thinking 'bout what you can't change
And worrying about all the wrong things
Time's flying by, moving so fast
You better make it count 'cause you can't get it back
Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
Is just a grain of sand
And what you've been out there searching for forever
Is in your hands
Oh, and when you figure out
Love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
Seem so small!
Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
Is just a grain of sand
And what you've been out there searching for forever
Is in your hands
And then you figure out
Love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
Oh, it sure makes everything else
Seem so small
Said goodbye, turned around
And you were gone, gone, gone
Faded into the setting sun,
Slipped away
But I won’t cry
Cause I know I’ll never be lonely
For you are the stars to me,
You are the light I follow
[Chorus]
I’ll See you again, oh
This is not where it ends
I will carry you with me, oh
Till I see you again
I can hear those echoes in the wind at night
Calling me back in time
Back to you
In a place far away
Where the water meets the sky
The thought of it makes me smile
You are my tomorrow
[Chorus]
I’ll See you again, oh
This is not where it ends
I will carry you with me, oh
Till I see you again
[Bridge]
Sometimes I feel my heart is breaking
But I stay strong and I hold on cause I know
I’ll see you again, oh
This is not where it ends
I will carry you with me, yeah yeah
[Outro]
I’ll See you again, oh
This is not where it ends
I will carry you with me, oh
Till I see you again
Till I see you again,
Till I see you again,
Said goodbye turned around
I would bet my life like I bet my heart
That you were the one, baby
I've never been so sure of anything before
You're driving my heart crazy
I can't hold out
I can't hold back now
Like i've done before
Darling look at me
I've fallen like a fool for you
Darling can't you see
I'd do anything you want me to
I tell myself I'm in too deep
Then I fall a little farther
Every time you look at me
How do you do that, babe?
Make me feel like I'm the only girl alive for you
I don't know what it is that makes me fall like this
First time in your arms I knew
The way you held me
I knew that this could be
What I've been waiting to find
Darling look at me
I've fallen like a fool for you
Darling can't you see
I'd do anything you want me to
I tell myself I'm gettin in too deep
Then I fall a little farther
Every time you look at me
You Know I’m A Dreamer
But My Heart’s Of Gold
I Had To Run Away High
So I Wouldn’t Come Home Low
Just When Things Went Right
It Doesn’t Mean They Were Always Wrong
Just Take This Song
And You’ll Never Feel
Left All Alone
Take Me To Your Heart
Feel Me In Your Bones
Just One More Night
And I’m Comin’ Off This
Long & Winding Road
I’m On My Way
I’m On My Way
Home Sweet Home
Tonight, Tonight
I’m On My Way
I’m On My Way
Home Sweet Home
You know that i've seen
so many romantic dreams
Up In Lights, Fallin’ Off
The Silver Screen
My Hearts Like An Open Book
For The Whole World To Read
Sometimes Nothing
Keeps Me Together
At The Seams
I’m On My Way
I’m On My Way
Home Sweet Home
Tonight, Tonight
I’m On My Way
Just Set Me Free
Home Sweet Home
Uhmmm, I’m On My Way,
I’m On My Way
Home Sweet Home
Yeah…, I’m On My Way
Just Set Me Free
Verse 1:
She remembers the nights he'd come calling
His yellow silk tie
In love she saw him
Falling for her in the fire of July
Then one day as the nights grew longer
Blackberry winter in a little white church
Stood a young pretty bride
Chorus:
Forever changed, forever changed
Nothing ever stays the same
Forever named, forever changed
Verse 2:
She remembers the change in her body
The blooming within
And how her heart seemed to flutter with the wind
Then one night as the days grew longer
That Indian summer
She brought love to the world
Cried and held me
Chorus:
Forever changed, forever changed
Nothing ever stays the same
Forever child, forever changed
Verse 3:
Some day she'll talk about Aunt Rosie
The sister she lost
Asking why she hasn't come over
And why she hasn't called
Some days I just hold her fragile hand
As time creeps across the floor
Some days it almost kills me
Watching her memory slip away a little more
Chorus:
Forever changed, forever changed
Nothing ever stays the same
Forever named
Forever child
Forever loved
Baby when I look at you, you make me think bout the times i've been through. At the dawn of summer 08 i told my dog to keep some peace when the milkman comes...Just to let me Drift A-away to fight the demons in my dreams- that remind me of you! Lemme drift away drift away drift away through the night dont wake me baby im tryin to kill the demons in my dreams and they make me think of you! Baby when i think of you, i think of the prom and our first kiss, of the other girls who called me names just to get to you but then you left for your quarterback-job, i was in the dust as the cheerleading captain kissed you on the cheek and said,: leave carrie there." So let me drift away drift away and kill the demons like you... Baby Tonya hates you now...and so do I!
I was alright for a while
I could smile for a while
Then I saw you last night
You held my hand so tight
As you stopped to say hello
Oh you wished me well
You couldn’t tell
That I’d been crying over you
Crying over you
When you said so long
Left me standing all alone
Alone and crying, crying, crying, crying
That first cold september night
you were the blanket holding me tight
you were kissing me and the air stood still
you said we dont have to I said I will..yeah
We ran in when the thunder came
its so in the rain
dont wanna watch our love go to waste
so we ran inside before its too late
Oh I oooh I Im not even trying
Oh I oooh I but I cant stop smiling yeah
Do you think about me like I think about you
Do you think about me like I think about you
I moved on to another town
wrote you letters till the ink ran out
when the clouds rolled in I grabbed the keys
and played that song that we used to sing
I met a boy a lot like you
its funny how he used to sing it too
but he was always just a little outta key
so much different than you and me
Oh I oooh I Im not even trying
Oh I oooh I but I cant stop smiling
Do you think about me like I think about you
Do you think about me like I think about you
ooooohh yeah
sometimes I wonder if you wonder what it could have been like
when you are sitting there drinking cofee
are you thinking of me
when its thundering and raining outside
Oh I oooh I Im not even trying
Oh I oooh I but I cant stop smiling
Oh I oooh I its gonna be fine
Oh I oooh I but I cant stop smiling
Do you think about me like I think about you
Do you think about me like I think about you
Do you think about me like I think about yoU
The memories of our loving still linger in the air
Like the faded scent of your roses stay with me everywhere
Every time I get my hopes up they always seem to fall
Still what could’ve been is better than what could never be at all, at all
It could’ve been so beautiful, it could’ve been so right
You could’ve been my lover every day of my life
It could’ve been so beautiful, it could’ve been so right
But I’ll never hope what could’ve been on a cold and lonely night, oh no
The moon is full and my arms are empty
All night long I’ve pleaded and cried
You always said the day that you would leave me
There’d be a cold day in July
You’re bags are packed, not a word is spoken
I guess we’ve said everything with goodbye
Time moves so slow and promises get broken
On this cold day in July
Sun’s coming up, coming up down on Main Street
Children shout as they’re running out to play
Head in my hands, here I am standing in my bare feet
Watching you drive away, watching you drive away
You said that we could last forever
You said our love would never die
It looks like spring and it feels like sunny weather
But it’s a cold day in July
Oh sun’s coming up, coming up down on Main Street
Children shout as they’re running out to play
Oh head in my hands, here I am standing in my bare feet
I believe in things unseen
I believe in the message of a dream
And I believe in what you are
Because you love me
With all my heart and all my soul
I’m loving you and I never will let go
And every day I let it show
Because you love me
Oh and now that you’re in my life
Oh I’m so glad ……….
Because you showed me the way
And I know now how good it can be
Because you love me
Because you love me
