The second I saw you
What was important wasn't important no more
Love will do that
Love will do that
Made the ole moon burn brighter, led to all-nighters
Made sleeping a thing of the past
Love will do that
Love will do that
It changes everything
Makes the angels sing
Puts the past in the past
It'll drive you crazy
Sometimes it just makes you laugh
Yeah, love will do that
Turns minutes to hours
Days into years
Gets time to moving so fast
Love will do that
It makes you move mountains or not an inch
Life's good right where we're at
Love will do that
Love will do that
It changes everything
Makes the angels sing
Puts the past in the past
It'll drive you crazy
Sometimes it just makes you laugh
Yeah, love will do that
It'll give you a sunset and an old rockin' chair
A hand to hold while you're looking back
Love will do that
Love will do that
It changes everything
Makes the angels sing
Puts the past right back in the past
It'll drive you crazy
Sometimes it just makes you laugh
Yeah, love will do that
Oh, I know, I know, I know, love will do that
Why do we hate
Why do we suffer
Why do we make our mistakes
and constantly blame one another
Why is there war
and why is there killing
Have we forgotten some secret we knew
back when we were just children
If I had wings
I'd fly up to heaven
I'd look down from the clouds
on everything
And then I would find
all the things we've been missing
I would have all the answers
If I had wings
Like why am I here
And where did I come from
And where will I go
when my time here on this Earth is done
And what will I leave
that will go on forever oh no
and what can I do while I'm here
to make someones life better
If I had wings
I'd fly up to heaven
I'd look down from the clouds
on everything
and then I could find
all the things we've been missing
I would have all the answers
If I had wings
Ohhh
If I had wings
I would fly up to heaven
I would have all the answers
I'd like to ask you from the start, if you could pull me out of the dark
Or if our love could fall apart like cookies crumble
See, I'm a demon on the loose, I'm like an engine with no caboose
And I need somebody who can really handle me
Yeah, baby, I'm a wild one
Don't let me run, don't let me get away
Yeah, baby, I'm a wild, wild one, yeah, baby, I'm a wild one
Don't let me run, don't let me get away
Yeah, baby, I'm a wild one
I just wanna let you know, girl, I'm attracted to your physical
But, I got this lazy eye that likes to wander, oh
You see, I'm tired of being alone, so if you throw this dog a bone
Baby, you and I can make our house a home, yeah
Yeah, baby, I'm a wild one
Don't let me run, don't let me get away
Yeah, baby, I'm a wild, wild one
Yeah, baby, I'm a wild one, don't let me run, don't let me get away
Yeah, baby, I'm a wild one
Oh, you could be the one who saves me
Or try to be the one who tames me
Girl, you are the one who's changing my way of life
I'm tired of painting the town with ladies
Or living the life so hazy, I'm tired of all my lies
I think I want some real love but, girl, you gotta realize
Yeah that, baby, I'm a wild one
Don't let me run, don't let me get away
Yeah, baby I'm a wild, wild one, yeah, baby I'm a wild one
Don't let me run, don't let me get away
Yeah, baby I'm a, wild, one
Oh baby, I'm a wild one, I'm a wild one
Don't let me get away
Yeah, baby, I'm a wild, wild wild one
I'm wild, don't let me run, let me get away
Got a baby girl sleeping in my bedroom
And her mama laughing in my arms
There's the sound of rain on the rooftop
And the game's about to start
I don't really know how I got here
But I'm sure glad that I did
And it's crazy to think that one little thing
Could've changed all of it
Maybe it didn't turn out like I planned
Maybe that's why I'm such, such a lucky man
For every stoplight I didn't make
Every chance I did or I didn't take
All the nights I went too far
All the girls that broke my heart
All the doors that I had to close
All the things I knew but I didn't know
Thank God for all I missed
'Cause it led me here to this
Like the girl that I loved in high school
Who said she could do better
Or that college I wanted to go to
'Til I got that letter
All the fights and the tears and the heartache
I thought I'd never get through
And the moment I almost gave up
All lead me here to you
I didn't understand it way back when
But sitting here right now, it all makes perfect sense
For every stoplight I didn't make
Every chance I did or I didn't take
All the nights I went too far
All the girls that broke my heart
All the doors that I had to close
All the things I knew but I didn't know
Thank God for all I missed
'Cause it led me here to this
How I cried when my mama passed away
But now I've got an angel looking out for me today
So nothing's a mistake
For every stoplight I didn't make
Every chance I did or I didn't take
All the nights I went too far
All the girls that broke my heart
All the doors that I had to close
Everything I knew but I didn't know
Thank God for all I missed
'Cause it led me here to this
Church bells ringing on our wedding day
Climbed in that limo and rode away
Guess you'll always hear some people say
They're never gonna make it.
We settled in and we settled down
In this quiet little seaside town
You were the rock I built my world around
And life won't ever break it
We are one heartbeat in the darkness
We are one lasting answered prayer
We are one unbroken promise
We are two, True Believers
It wasn't easy getting here today
Sometimes you stumbled or I lost my way
But every roadblock was a chance to say;
Take my hand I'm here beside you.
We worked and made it through the toughest parts
Now every days another chance to start,
To look around and see that where we are
Is where we were trying to get to
We are one heartbeat in the darkness
We are one lasting answered prayer
We are one unbroken promise
We are two, True Believers
We are one before our God in Heaven
We are one road when the going gets rough
We are one now and forever
We are one name, one life, one flame
We are one heartbeat in the darkness
We are one lasting answered prayer
We are one unbroken promise
and We are two, True Believers
Woke up to a beautiful sun shining brightly in the East
Want to have it shine on everyone the way it's shining on me
We got such a long way to go and we got so much to do
But I made a promise to myself I'd be right here for you
I feel the cool of the wind
Touching me like a long lost friend
When I hear the music play and I hear the children sing
I know together anything is possible
Time won't slip away
We'll get through all that life can bring
And I know together anything is possible
What do you want from life?
What do you want to be?
Grandpa Campbell would sit upon his front porch
And I?d be right there just sittin? on his knees
He?d tell stories of love and feast and famine
And I?d hang onto every word that he would breathe
He?d say, ?Boy as you walk through this life
Here?s a little wisdom that?ll help you get by?
You gotta live and learn, you gotta crash and burn
You gotta take some stances and take some chances
You gotta laugh and love and take all life has to give
You gotta live and learn so you can learn to live
Though I left home and I went to Carolina
I then set off just to see what I could see
I did some things that I wasn?t really proud of
And sometimes life just got the best of me
But I?d always think back to those days
And I know what Grandpa Campbell would say
He'd say you gotta live and learn, you gotta crash and burn
You gotta take some stances and take some chances
You gotta laugh and love and take all life has to give
You gotta live and learn so you can learn to live, yeah, oh oh
After years of runnin? ?round and searchin?
I found me a woman who loves me just for me
All those mistakes I thought that I was making
Led me right here till you're sittin? on my knees
Son as you walk through this life
Here's a little wisdom that?ll help you get by
You gotta live and learn, you gotta crash and burn
You gotta take some stances and take some chances
You gotta laugh and love and take all life has to give
You gotta live and learn, you gotta live and learn
i see you and everytime
you look upset
i know i hurt you
im sorry
you look beautiful like always
your eyes your hair
i wish i hadnt done what i did
you hurt i can see it through your eyed
(chorus)but somethings gotta go
i had to be the one to make the first move
you was hurting when i was with you
but something gotta go
i miss you so much but i had to leave you
i couldnt stand seeing you in pain
the way i put you through
i miss waking up beside you
chorus
you can have everything you want
but i couldnt stand leaving you like i did
i cant stand seeing you with another guy
but ill survive without you by my side
He didn't have to wake up
He'd been up all night
Lying there in bed and listening
To his newborn baby cry
He makes a pot of coffee
He splashes water on his face
His wife gives him a kiss and says,
"It's gonna be okay"
"It won't be like this for long
One day we'll look back laughing
At the week we brought her home
This phase is gonna fly by
So baby, just hold on
It won't be like this for long"
Four years later, 'bout 4:30
She's crawling in their bed
And when he drops her off at pre-school
She's clinging to his leg
The teacher peels her off of him
He says, "What can I do?"
She says, "Now, don't you worry
This'll only last a week or two"
"It won't be like this for long
One day soon you'll drop her off
And she won't even know you're gone
This phase is gonna fly by
If you can just hold on
It won't be like this for long"
Someday soon she'll be a teenager
And at times, he'll think she hates him
And he'll walk her down the aisle
And raise her veil,
But right now she's up and cryin'
And the truth is that he don't mind
As he kisses her goodnight
And she says her prayers
He lays down there beside her
Till her eyes are finally closed
And just watching her it breaks his heart
'Cause he already knows
It won't be like this for long
One day soon that little girl is gonna be
All grown up and gone
And this phase is gonna fly by
So he's trying to hold on
It won't be like this for long
I left out in a cloud of taillights and dust
Swore I wasn't coming back, said I'd had enough
Saw you in the rearview standing, fading from my life
But I wasn't turning 'round, no, not this time
But don't think I don't think about it
Don't think I don't have regrets
Don't think it don't get to me
Between the work and the hurt and the whiskey
Don't think I don't wonder 'bout
Could've been, should've been all worked out
I know what I felt and I know what I said
But don't think I don't think about it
And we make choices, we gotta live with it
Heard you found a real good man and you married him
I wonder if sometimes I cross your mind
Where would we be today if I never drove that car away?
Don't think I don't think about it
Don't think I don't have regrets
Don't think it don't get to me
Between the work and the hurt and the whiskey
Don't think I don't wonder 'bout
Could've been, should've been all worked out
Yeah, I know what I felt and I know what I said
But don't think I don't think about it
Don't think I don't think about it
Don't think I don't think about it
Don't think I don't have regrets
Don't think you don't get to me
Between the work and the hurt and the whiskey
Don't think I don't wonder 'bout
Could've been, should've been all worked out
I know what I felt and I know what I said
But don't think I don't think about it, no no
I heard every word you said
And trying hard to understand
Exactly what it is, you need, from me
Baby, I apologize
I never meant to make you cry
But there ain’t no doubt
We can work it out yeah
'Cause I’m gonna be around
Don’t worry, baby
I ain’t no maybe
Rain or shine
This love of mine is for you
Let my arms remind you
I’ll always be beside you
Holdin’ on until this ride is through
So away we go
Down that forever road
Baby, as our lives unfold
There’s no telling where we’ll go
But as far as I can see, it’ll be you and me
Just the way it’s supposed to be
Don’t worry, baby
I ain’t no maybe
Rain or shine
This love of mine is for you
Let my arms remind you
I’ll always be beside you
Holdin’ on until this ride is through
So away we go
Down that forever road
It ain’t gonna be easy
We’ll both make big mistakes
But if you love me, trust me
We’ve got what it takes
Now…
Don’t worry, baby
I ain’t no maybe
Rain or shine
This love of mine is for you
Yeah, let my arms remind you
I’ll always be beside you
Holdin’ on until this ride is through
So away we go
Down that forever road
Down that forever road
I woke up again this morning
And wouldn't you know it, pouring rain
I went and burned a pot of coffee
And like us I poured it down the drain
'Cause I didn't know I needed you so
And letting you go was wrong
And baby, I know you got your radio on
So this is my "my bad, come back" song
I know I said I wouldn't miss you
But now I'm saying I'm a fool
You're on the feel-good side of leaving
And I'm the backside of a mule
'Cause I didn't know I needed you so
And letting you go was wrong
And baby, I know you got your radio on
So this is my "so sad, come back" song
And now I'm laying down without you
In this king size empty bed
And I wish I had my arms around you
But I'll just dream of you instead
'Cause I didn't know I needed you so
And letting you go was wrong
And baby, I know you got your radio on
So this is my "get packed, come back"
Hey, I didn't know I needed you so
And letting you go, and letting you go was wrong
And baby, I know you got your radio on
So this is my "my bad, come back" song
Oh yeah, yeah
I know I said I wouldn't miss you
I said I wouldn't miss you girl, yeah
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
We all sang na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, yeah
Come on now
Don't act surprised
It ain't like you didn't know
It's been a long, long time comin'
And it's time for me to go
Trying to split things up could drive us crazy
So I'm gonna make this easy, baby
You can have the money
You can have the house
Take the Cadillac and that boat out back
And your mother's pink and yellow couch
You can have every penny
That I'll make from this here song
Girl all I want you to leave me is alone
Don't get me wrong
I will always love you girl
You were my life
You were my heart
You were my world
But we both know it's over
There's no need to fight it
Girl, I just need some peace and quiet
You can have the money
You can have the house
Take the Cadillac and that boat out back
And that ugly pink and yellow couch
You can have every penny
That I'll make from this here song
Girl all I want you to leave me is alone
You can have the money
You can have the house
Take the big screen
And your diamond ring
And those shoes
That you swore you couldn't live without
You can have every penny
That I will make from this here song
Girl all I want you to leave me is alone
Always there when my world starts closing in
Something to hold no matter how long its been
Get me high and knocks me to the ground
Sooths my mind and then begins to break me down.
chorus
Whiskey and you
Ain’t nothing I can do
But come crawling back to you
Whiskey and you
I never asked you to love me
I never begged you to stay
But I never want you to leave me
I wouldn’t have it any other way
Chorus
As darkness finds the candle and the flame stops flickering
Girl I know and I hope it won’t be too long til we light it up again
Thirty-nine candles burnt out on a cake
Each representing a million mistakes
The last one still burns
There’s a wish I can make
This time I’m getting’ it right
So I close my eyes and I take a deep breath
And I promise myself in the time I have left
I’m gonna work like I don’t need the money
I’m gonna laugh like I’m not afraid to cry
I’m gonna dance like nobody’s watching
I’m gonna love while I still got the time
Lovin’ me hasn’t been easy on you
I don’t know why, but I know you still do
It may be my day, but here’s a present for you
You’re lookin’ at your new man
He’s sincere and sober and faithful and kind
And he’s home when you need
And girl, starting tonight
I’m gonna work like I don’t need the money
I’m gonna laugh like I’m not afraid to cry
I’m gonna dance like nobody’s watching
I’m gonna love while I still got the time
No more excuses and no more me doing things wrong
Life is too short, baby, I’ve wasted ours for too long
And baby from now on
I’m gonna work like I don’t need the money
I’m gonna laugh like I’m not afraid to cry
I’m gonna dance like nobody’s watching
I’m gonna love while I still got the time
I’m gonna work like I don’t need the money
(I know I am)
I’m gonna laugh like I’m not afraid to cry
(Laugh laugh laugh)
I’m gonna dance like nobody’s watching
(I’m gonna dance, I’m gonna dance)
I’m gonna love while I still got the time
I’m gonna love while I still got the time
I remember when I saw you there
What did you see in me? Tell me
Let all the people stop and stare
You were the only one that I could see
Time comes and time goes by
We loved, we laughed, I failed, you tried
And now I understand why
I have to be the one to blame
Ten years down the line I never meant to waste your time
So glad you never threw in the towel on you and me
You showed me unconditional love, you even gave me the one
And baby, now that we're done, I'm sorry
See I was standing up with things to say
So I had to decide
For me it was either you or them
And I was running out of precious time
You see, I had to see the world
I knew it meant losing you, my girl
Since I lost it all today
These simple words to you I'd say
We should have given up at least a thousand times
So girl, I wouldn't be surprised if you wrote me off, no
You see I know that I put my friends before you
And I constantly ignored who was in my corner
Now, I apologize
Ten years down the line, I never meant to waste your time
So glad you never threw in the towel on you and me
You showed me unconditional love, you even gave me the one
And baby, now that we're done, I'm sorry
Don't you now that
You should have given up at least one thousand times
But, girl, why would I be surprised, why would it shock me?
When you write me off but you can't
Can't you see I, I put my band, I put my band
Wow, I ignored you
Then in return, you were there for me
And I, I apologize
Ten years down the line, I never meant to waste your time
So glad you never through in the towel on you and me
You showed me unconditional love, you even gave me the one
And baby, now that we're done, I'm sorry
Have you ever seen a prairie wind
Make a wave on a wheat field bringing needed rain
Have you ever seen a mamma stop
A baby's cry with just the touch and a whisper of his name
When she looks at me
That's what I see
(Chorus)
She's beautiful like that
Like a winter rose, snow on the ground
I was blessed the day I found her
I'm one lucky man
Cause the more I know the more I need her
The more I love the more I see her heart
Is a shining star
She's beautiful like that
Have you ever seen a purple sky
Sun coming up bringing new life to everything it shines on
Have you ever seen a couple after 50 years
Laughing and holding hands still going strong
Well the reason why
I'll love her 'til the day I die
She's beautiful like that
Like a winter rose, snow on the ground
I was blessed the day I found her
I'm one lucky man
Cause the more I know the more I need her
The more I love the more I see her heart
Is a shining star
She's beautiful like that
The sound of a church bell
The road that leads back home
An unspoken promise
You'll never be alone
She's beautiful like that
Like a winter rose, snow on the ground
I was blessed the day I found her
I'm one lucky man
Cause the more I know the more I need her
The more I love the more I see her heart
Is a shining star
She's beautiful like that
She's beautiful like that
It's my third cup of coffee,
The fifth time I said I'm sorry
The sun slowly peakin' through the glass
Says we've been up all night
We both know where this is goin'
It's been a long time comin'
Is it really over
Is this really goodbye
Maybe I should say somethin'
Maybe you'd change your mind
Maybe, maybe, buy a little more time
But I got nothin', no magic words
To stop your leavin', to end this hurt
I'm just blank, I'm starin' into space
Prayin', "Please, please let me think of somethin'"
'Cause I got nothin'
I watch you pack your things
You look down at your ring
Slowly slip it off, and then
Lay it on our bed
Maybe I should pick it up
And get down on my knees
Tell you what you wanna hear, and give you what you need
But I got nothin', no magic words
To stop your leavin', to end this hurt
I'm just blank, I'm starin' into space
Prayin', "Please, please let me think of somethin'
"'Cause I got nothin'"
Oh, you're almost at the door
And you stop and turn around
Your eyes are beggin' me,
"Please say somethin' right now"
But I got nothin', no magic words
To stop your leavin', I can't end this hurt
I'm just blank, I'm starin' into space
Prayin', "Please, please let me think of somethin'
Don't move, baby don't move
Ah, look at you, I just wanna take this in
The moonlight dancing off your skin
Our time, let's take our time
I just wanna look in your eyes and catch my breath
'Cause I got a feelin'
This could be one of those memories
We wanna hold on to, cling to, the one we can't forget
Baby this could be our last first kiss, the door to forever
What if this was that moment, that chance worth takin'?
History in the makin'
Inside, baby inside
Can you feel the butterflies floatin' all around?
'Cause I can sure feel 'em now
Tonight, maybe tonight
Is the start of a beautiful ride that'll never end
And baby I got a feelin'
This could be one of those memories
We wanna hold on to, cling to, the one we can't forget
Baby this could be our last first kiss, the door to forever
What if this was that moment, that chance worth takin'?
History in the makin'
Right here, right now
Holdin' you in my arms
This could be one of those memories
We wanna hold on to, we wanna cling to, one that we can't forget
Baby this could be our last first kiss, the door to forever
What if this was that moment, that chance worth takin'?
History in the makin'
She said so, so many times in my life
Once I thought things were fine, it would rain
This is how it is each and everyday I live
Things I thought would be my joy, turn to pain
So when it pours and you're in deep water
And you can't tell the difference from the rain and your tears
I will be the one who's there, who'll always be there
To drink the river flowin' from your eyes
Exodus is yours, love
Let the midnight sun disappear
Heaven would be yours, love
Let me be the one to take you there
So don't worry or sweat the small things
Everythin' in your life's bound to change
All the things you're goin' through
I will bare the weight with you
There's no shame, know what I'm sayin'
There's a way to pull through
Oh, and when it pours girl and you're in deep water
And you can tell the difference from the rain and your tears
I will be the one who's there, who'll always be there
To drink the river flowin' from your eyes
Exodus is yours, love
Let the midnight sun disappear
And Heaven could be yours, love
Let me be the one to take you there, oh
I'll help you carry it all
(I'll help you carry all)
You don't have to worry at all
(No, you don't have to worry)
And if you stumble and fall
(If you stumble and fall)
I'll be there for you
I'll help you, oh
(I'll help you carry it all)
You don't have to, oh
(You don't have to worry at all)
Girl and if you fall, I'll be there
Through it all, through it all
Exodus is yours, love
Let the midnight sun disappear
And Heaven could be yours, love
Please let me be the one to take you there, there
Exodus is yours, love
Let the midnight sun disappear
And Heaven could be yours, love
Let me be the one to take you there
Exodus is yours, love
Let the midnight sun disappear
Alright, alright
Yeah, it's alright, alright
I don't need no five star reservations
I got spaghetti and a cheap bottle of wine
I don't need no concert in the city
I got a stereo and the 'Best Of Patsy Cline'
Ain't got no caviar, no Dom Perignon
But as far as I can see I got everything I want
'Cause I got a roof over my head
The woman I love layin' in my bed
And it's alright, alright
I got shoes under my feet
Forever in the eyes staring back at me
And it's alright, alright
Yeah, I got all I need
And it's alright by me
Maybe later on we'll walk down to the river
Lay on a blanket and stare up at the moon
It may not be no French Riviera
But it's all the same to me as long as I'm with you
May be a simple life but that's okay, yeah
If you ask me baby I think I've got it made
'Cause I got a roof over my head
The woman I love layin' in my bed
And it's alright, alright
I got shoes under my feet
Forever in the eyes staring back at me
And it's alright, alright
Yeah, I got all I need
And it's alright by me
It's alright by me, yeah, yeah
When I lay down at night I thank the Lord above
For giving me everything I ever could dream of
'Cause I got a roof over my head
The woman I love layin' in my bed
And it's alright, alright, alright, alright
I got shoes under my feet
Forever in the eyes staring back at me
And it's alright, alright, alright
Yeah, I got all I need, yeah, I got all I need
And it's alright by me, oh yeah
It's alright by me, yeah, yeah, yeah
Carolina moon, lazy ol' river
Time keeps floatin' on by
Moss hanging from an oak tree
Baby it's just you and me
Sure makes one beautiful sight
We got postcard views
Curled up in this rocking chair
Feel like I ought tip my hat
To the man up stairs
Burning the whole night through
So I can look at you
Your pretty brown eyes
Your legs that go forever
Still can't believe you're mine
Come on baby lets take a walk
Follow the path down to that old dock
And bring along that bottle of wine
That old moon's so bright
Just hang in' up there
Feel like I ought count' my blessings
And thank the man upstairs for
Burning the whole night through
So I can look at you
It's getting kinda late girl
Lets go back to the house
I wanna watch you from my pillow
Til morning rolls around so I'm
Burning the whole night through
So I can, So I can see you
Oh I wanna look at you o so I'm
I'm Leavin' the light
Oh it's burnin', oh it's burnin' through
Oh, it's burnin' through yeah
I'm Leavin' the light on
I'm Leavin' the light on
Last thing I remember
I met the boys down at the jammer
We had a few beers, and a few shots
I woke up the next day
With cotton mouth and a headache
Trying to connect all the dots
Staring up at the ceiling
I got that funny feeling
Looked over and I, I saw my ex-girlfriend
I felt like a fool, and that's when I knew
I'd been drinkin' and dialin' again
So the next time you think I've had too much to drink
And you tell me I shouldn't drive home
When you take my keys, oh I'm begging you please
Go on take my cell phone
‘Cause I have been known
After tying one on to call up a couple old friends
And tell them that I love them, or maybe don't cuss them
When I'm drinkin' and dialin' again
So the next time you think I've had too much to drink
And you tell me I should not drive home
Oh when you take my keys, oh I'm begging you please
Go on take my cell phone
If you've ever heard, me slurring my words
On your voicemail around 4 a.m.
You'll have to forgive me, and blame it on the whiskey
I was drinkin' and dialin' again
I signed up to see this world
Through the windows of buses and planes
Ever since they called my number
I've been living in the fast lane
Yeah, it's a dream come true
I'm a lucky man
And I love this roll I'm on
But I do run out of gas
Can only run so fast so long
Till I need some front porch rockin'
Some back road walkin'
Some sittin' 'round talkin' 'bout nothin'
I need some screen door slammin'
Some home made jam and
Some biscuits cookin' in the oven
I need a little fun with my little ones
A little gospel on Sunday
I need some hangin' 'round my little town
In a big way
I may wake in the mornin' in Dallas
I went to bed in Tennessee
Need someone tellin' me where I am sometimes
And where I'm supposed to be
Sometimes I wanna be George Jones
Sometimes Charlie Pride
But all I want to be right now
Is with my baby tonight
'Cause I need some front porch rockin'
Some back road walkin'
Some sittin' 'round talkin' 'bout nothin'
I need some screen door slammin'
Some home made jam and
Some biscuits cookin' in the oven
I need a little fun with my little ones
A little gospel on Sunday
I need some hangin' 'round my little town
In a big way, oh, in a big way
You know I can't complain
(I can't complain)
I love this crazy dream
But I need some front porch rockin'
Some back road walkin'
Some sittin' 'round talkin' 'bout nothin'
I need some screen door slammin'
Some home made jam and
Some biscuits cookin' in the oven
I need a little fun with my little ones
A little gospel on Sunday
I need some hangin' 'round my little town
I need to take it slow
I need some winding down
I need my little town and I need it now
In a big way, in a big way
I need some front porch rockin'
I need some back road walkin'
I need some sittin' around talkin' about nothin'
About nothin', really nothin' at all
I'm eight years old, daddy's cutting my hair
Aqua Velva on his hands
Mama's in the kitchen,
Got fried green tomatoes poppin' in the pan
I see a home run, a gold line
Holding my breath getting baptized
I see her beautiful face under that veil as she's walking down the aisle
I can hear the sirens coming
Smell the gasoline and smoke
I'm pinned against this steering wheel
Pretty sure my arm is broke
I can see the flames and my life
Flashing right before my eyes
I hope they get to me in time
I could see the headlights swerve
So I cut the wheel to the right
Last thing I saw was the bottle turned up
As he crossed that center line
I see tiny hands, brown eyes
falling asleep to that lullaby
And you slide over next to me as I turned out the lights
I can hear the sirens coming
Smell the gasoline and smoke
I'm pinned against this steering wheel
Pretty sure my arm is broke
I can see the flames and my life
Flashing right before my eyes
I hope they get to me in time
Please Lord, I'm begging you
Don't let me go like this
There's so much left that I want to do
So much I don't want to miss, no
I can see the flames and my life
Flashing right before my eyes
I hope they get to me in time
Just get to me in time
If you're a man like me who is good at leaving
If you like your space and you love your freedom
Don't see yourself as ever settlin' down
Or your whole world being tossed around
Be wary of a woman
A woman so fine
Don't want to change you
Loves you just right
Makes you feel like a man inside
Sometimes she'll make you cry
‘Till you don't know what you're doing
You're out of control
Forget about leaving your heart won't go
If don't like that you better run and hide
And be wary of a woman like mine
She'll make you laugh when you feel like crying
Make you want to live when you feel like dying
So if you like living in the dark
Just walk away, you're going to lose your heart
Be wary of a woman
A woman so fine
Don't want to change you
Loves you just right
Makes you feel like a man inside
Sometimes she'll make you cry
‘Till you don't know what you're doing
You're out of control
Forget about leaving your heart won't go
If don't like that you better run and hide
And be wary of a woman like mine
Be wary of a woman like mine
Man, you don't stand a chance don't even try
Be wary of a woman like mine, oh
Be wary of a woman
A woman so fine
Don't want to change you
Loves you just right
Makes you feel like a man inside
Sometimes she'll make you cry
‘Till you don't know what you're doing
You're out of control
Forget about leaving your heart won't go
If don't like that you better run and hide
And be wary of a woman like mine
A woman like mine
Be wary of a woman like mine, oh
Way back when she did a hundred and ten
In her dad's old Chevrolet
And she once climbed, way up high
To paint her name on a water tank
She's got that little red rose
On her big toe, tattooed in Myrtle Beach
Went to Mardi Gras with the mother-in-law
Got a suitcase full of beads
She's walked on fire
And jumped out of planes for fun
But loving me is the craziest thing
That she's ever done
She's living on faith
I'm chasing my dreams
I fly and fall
Till I unravel at the seams
She never played it safe
Never walked when she could run
But loving me is the craziest thing
That she's ever done
Left the bright lights drove down 95
To a sleepy southern town
Gave up a sweet gig to have a couple kids
Chasing her around
All her friends roll their eyes and grin
When she says that I'm the one
They say loving me is the craziest thing
That she's ever done
She's living on faith
I'm chasing my dreams
I, I fly and fall
Till I unravel at the seams
She never played it safe
And never walked when she could run
But loving me is the craziest thing
That she's ever done
She likes walking on a tightrope
Dancing on a ledge
But she knows I'll catch her
If she falls off the edge
She's living on faith
I'm chasing my dreams
I fly and I fall
Till I unravel at the seams
She never played it safe
Never walked when she can run
But loving me is the craziest thing
That she's ever done
Yeah, loving me is the wildest thing
I’m still standing, I’m still here.
For I seen another year.
I’m still knowing, I’m still growing.
Still believing, still achieving.
I’m still walking, I’m still talking.
I’m still seeing, I’m still reaching.
What I’m simply trying to say Is this?
There Is one on how he does exist.
More than whom you can capture this.
There Is a God somewhere.
Yes there’s a God up there.
Ooooh, oooh.
I’m not trying to preach, only trying to say how I feel.
Oh there’s no, other name I choose to call when my back
up against the wall. Ooooh I need to know when out, in my
soul that there’s someone somewhere up on high oooh but
when I look Into my little girls’ eyes I see, why I feel
this spirit Inside and I know I...
I’m still crying, I’m still smiling.
I’m still searching, I’m still finding.
I’m still breathing, I’m still living.
Still receiving, yet still giving.
I’m still hoping, I’m still trusting.
I’m still caring, I’m still loving.
What I’m simply trying to say Is this?
There Is one on how he does exist.
More than whom you can capture this.
There Is a God somewhere .
Yes there’s a God somewhere.
I know I know there’s a God somewhere.
I can feel him In my soul.
Somewhere I know that there’s a God.
There’s a God somewhere.
He’s the ruler of our world.
Maker, giving It all up to you, there’s a
God somewhere.
I'll chase the kids around the yard all afternoon
Put away the dishes so she don't have to
Fix the screen door on the porch
Like I said I'd do
Tell her I don't know how you do it, baby, when I'm gone
Dance her 'round the kitchen to a George Strait song
Sneak a kiss on the back of the neck
Like we were alone
And if I'm right on the money
You know I might get lucky
There's a window of opportunity between
When the kids are tucked in
And a half glass of Chardonnay
She knows what I'm thinking
Reads me like a book
But the key to get a second look
And a come here honey
Is treat her right in the daylight
And I might get lucky
Well, I work out on the road
And it wears us thin
She wonders when I'm leaving
Even when I'm walking in
So we set aside time
To get to know each other again
And if I play my cards right
I know it sounds kind of funny
But I might get lucky
There's a window of opportunity between
When the kids are tucked in
And a half glass of Chardonnay
She knows what I'm thinking
Reads me like a book
But the key to get a second look
And a come here honey
Is treat her right in the daylight
And I might get lucky
Someday she might wake up and see
She's way out of my league
But then again maybe she won't
You know I might get lucky, yeah
Yeah, there's a window of opportunity between
When the kids are tucked in
And a half glass of Chardonnay
She knows what I'm thinking
Reads me like a book
But the key to get a second look
And a come here honey
Is treat her right in the daylight
And I might get lucky
I might get lucky
I might get lucky
Is 10 o'clock in the morning,
To early to drink beer?
I don't know, and I don't care.
When a girl walks by in a two piece,
Is it impolite to stare?
I don't know, and I don't care.
I don't know, what beach this is,
I don't know, what day this is,
I don't know, if I packed enough clothes to wear,
And I don't care.
Hey man do you think those are real or you think there fake?
You mean those? Right there,
Hell, I don't know,
And I don't care.
Do you want the blonde or the brunette?
Or the one with the long red hair,
I don't know,
And I don't care.
I don't know, what her name is,
I don't know, where she learned to kiss,
I don't know, if that's her boyfriend over there,
And I don't care.
Is 4 o'clock in the morning,
To late to drink beer?
I don't know, but you know what?
I don't care.
I don't know, last time I ate,
I don't know, how I'm still awake,
I don't know, how long a man can live on beer.
Man, I don't know where I left my phone,
I don't know, when were going home,
I don't know, if I still got a job up there,
And I don't care.
I don't care,
I don't know,
I'd like to ask you from the start
If you could pull me out of the dark.
Or if our love could fall apart like cookies crumble.
See, I'm a demon on the loose.
I'm like an engine with no caboose.
And I need somebody who can really handle me.
Yeah, baby, I'm a wild one.
Don't let me run.
Don't let me get away.
Yeah, baby, I'm a wild, wild one.
Yeah, baby, I'm a wild one.
Don't let me run.
Don't let me get away.
Yeah, baby, I'm a wild one.

So if you throw this dog a bone,
Baby, you and I can make our house a home, yeah.
Yeah, baby, I'm a wild one.
Don't let me run.
Don't let me get away.
Yeah, baby, I'm a wild, wild one.
Yeah, baby, I'm a wild one.
Don't let me run. Don't let me get away.
Yeah, baby, I'm a wild one.
Oh, you could be the one who saves me,
Or try to be the one who tames me.
Girl, you are the one who's changing my way of life.
I'm tired of painting the town with ladies
Or living the life so hazy.
I'm tired of all my lies,
I think I want some real love
But, girl, you gotta realize.
Yeah that, baby, I'm a wild one.
Don't let me run.
Don't let me get away.
Yeah, baby I'm a wild, wild one.

She lives right there off of Rutledge Avenue
She has a few friends but she only has a few
Her next door neighbor plays his music way too loud
She often complains but they play it anyhow
What is a girl supposed to do
Living alone can have you so confused
But remember now
It won't be too long, girl
Find out where you belong
When you're feeling afraid and alone
Just remember two words, hold on
She works all day just to put herself through school
'Cause financial aid doesn't seem to cover food, no, no, no, no
Every morning she rides on the bus to make her gains
It's easy to attain but so hard to sustain, yeah
What is a girl supposed to do
Living alone can have you so confused
But remember now
It won't be too long, girl
You find out where you belong
Whether you're feeling afraid and alone
Just remember two words, hold on
She's coping with pain of things she left behind
Multiple pressures that cloud her mind
And she feels it, her eyes carry no signs of joy
She's tired of rubbing it all the time
Found independence is not so kind
Life ain't easy, all she needs is a friend
Hold on
It won't be too long, girl
Find out where you belong
Feeling afraid and alone
Remember two words, hold on
It won't be too long
Find out where you belong
Feeling afraid and alone
Will make you weep
You'll cry and cry
And try to sleep
But sleep won't come
The whole night through
Your cheatin' heart will tell on you...
When tears come down
Like falling rain
You'll toss around
And call my name
You'll walk the floor
The way I do
Your cheatin' heart will tell on you...
Will make you weep
You'll cry and cry
And try to sleep
But sleep won't come
The whole night through
Your cheatin' heart will tell on you...
When tears fall down down now
Like pouring rain
You'll toss around
And call my name
You'll walk the floor
The way I do
We met on the shore of a lemonade lake
Weeping willows looked down where we lay
Orange blossoms I smell in your hair
Butterfly, flutter by, butterfly by
Waterfalls send your ripples to us
Here on the shore of the lemonade lake
Pond lilies play hide and seek with the fish
Rabbit run, run rabbit, rabbit run by
Roaring mountain is standing close by
Covered with snowdrops and glistening with dew
I hear the sound of a small hummingbird
I took your hand and I waltzed off with you
Come to the top of the mountain with me
Jump on a cloud and we'll float to and fro
Seeing the countryside covered with grass
And the top of the mountain with candy-floss and snow
Butterfly lazily drinking the sun
Lavishly sprinkled and painted with gold
Here in the land of the mist and the lake
I'd like to ask you from the start
If you could pull me out of the dark.
Or if our love could fall apart like cookies crumble.
See, I'm a demon on the loose.
I'm like an engine with no caboose.
And I need somebody who can really handle me.
Yeah, baby, I'm a wild one.
Don't let me run.
Don't let me get away.
Yeah, baby, I'm a wild, wild one.
Got a baby girl sleeping in my bedroom
And her mama laughing in my arms
There's the sound of rain on the rooftop
And the game's about to start
I don't really know how I got here
But I'm sure glad that I did
And it's crazy to think that one little thing
Could've changed all of it
Maybe it didn't turn out like I planned
Maybe that's why I'm such, such a lucky man
For every stoplight I didn't make
Every chance I did or I didn't take
All the nights I went too far
All the girls that broke my heart
All the doors that I had to close
All the things I knew but I didn't know
Thank God for all I missed
'Cause it led me here to this
Like the girl that I loved in high school
Who said she could do better
Or that college I wanted to go to
'Til I got that letter
All the fights and the tears and the heartache
I thought I'd never get through
And the moment I almost gave up
All lead me here to you
I didn't understand it way back when
But sitting here right now, it all makes perfect sense
For every stoplight I didn't make
Every chance I did or I didn't take
All the nights I went too far
All the girls that broke my heart
All the doors that I had to close
All the things I knew but I didn't know
Thank God for all I missed
'Cause it led me here to this
How I cried when my mama passed away
But now I've got an angel looking out for me today
So nothing's a mistake
For every stoplight I didn't make
Every chance I did or I didn't take
All the nights I went too far
All the girls that broke my heart
All the doors that I had to close
Everything I knew but I didn't know
Thank God for all I missed
'Cause it led me here to this
Da Da da da da da...
Da da da da dum da dum
Every time I see you (I see you)
It's good to see you again (hey baby)
You make me feel like I've seen the sun (sun shining)
Your loving let's me know that I'm the only one
And I hear you:
Sometimes I wonder (I wonder how you got so good)
Sometimes I wonder (I wonder how you got so good)
Sometimes I wonder (Wonder how you got so good)
Sometimes I wonder, baby, wonder, baby
Lovin' you is like my dream come true
I want you to know that I'll always be there standing up for you
From the mountain
From the river
From the root to the to the, baby
Sometimes I wonder (I wonder how you got so good)
Sometimes I wonder (I wonder how you got so good)
Sometimes I wonder (Wonder how you got so good)
Sometimes I wonder, baby, wonder, baby
When I look in to the mirror (What do you see)
I see me and I see you (And how are we)
Joined from the soul
Our hearts together
Just living together in melody baby
Sometimes I wonder (I wonder how we got so good)
Sometimes I wonder (I wonder how wegot so good)
Sometimes I wonder (Wonder how we got so good)
Sometimes I wonder, baby, wonder, baby
Living together in melody
In melody
In harmony
In melody
In harmony
In melody, baby
In harmony
We just got this good
In melody
I'd never leave the perfect girl
Or rip apart the perfect world
Just up and leave in the middle of a song
I'd never pack my things in a Silverado
Drive on out to Colorado
Just to find some freedom I thought was gone
Ooh, there are things I'd never do
But here I am in this hotel room
Thinking 'bout you and what I've done
Oh, what have I done?
Head in my hands, thinking about a lot of things
I wish that I could change
It's sad but it's true
I've done a lot of things I'd never do
I'd never ever work so much
That I'd lose sight, I'd lose touch
Of everything a man could ever want
I'd never lose my cool and say
Those words that cut just like a blade
And leave you dying, crying all alone
But here I am in this hotel room
Thinking 'bout you and what I've done
Oh, what have I done?
Head in my hands, thinking about a lot of things
I wish that I could change
It's sad but it's true
I've done a lot of things I'd never do, oh, I'd never do
Here I am in this hotel room
Thinking 'bout you and what I've done
What have I done?
Head in my hands, thinking about a lot of things
I wish that I could change
It's sad, sad but true
I've done a lot of things, a whole lot of things I'd never do
I'd never leave the perfect girl
Or rip apart the perfect world
What makes a man
Work till his kids get too old to kiss and hug
Keep on climbing that imaginary mountain
When is enough, enough
What makes a man build a kingdom
Only to lose his woman
How high is too high how big is too big
How far will we go just to slip off the edge
Yeah, we all fall down, life takes us out
The sky starts spinning
When our heads get above the clouds
The higher we fly the harder it feels
When we hit the ground
Yeah, we all fall down
Yeah, we all fall down
How does a man pick himself up
When he's let himself down
Tell me where does he find the courage
To turn his world back around
Will he break down and cry like someone just died
What can he say about the man he used to be
When he can't even speak though he's dying to scream
Yeah, we all fall down when we find out
That the sky starts spinning
When our heads get above the clouds
The higher we fly the harder it feels
When we hit the ground
Yeah, we all fall down
Yeah, we all fall down
He's the only one to blame
And the only one who knows
How low he must go
To win back his soul
Yeah, we all fall down
Baby, I'm so glad you're mine
Baby, I've got something to say, my dear
Baby, yeah
I'm just so glad you're mine
Baby, why did it take so long
Oh baby, see
You only made my love grow stronger
Baby, yeah, yeah
I'm so glad you're mine, hey
When darkness gather ‘round me
Friends forsake me
I know you'll never let me down
I know you'll never let me down
Oh, I know you'll never say
Baby, don't turn away, no, oh baby
Baby, I'm not going to leave you alone, no
Baby, yeah, girl
On top of that I'll give you what you want
Baby, yeah, hey, yeah, I'm so glad you're mine
When darkness gather ‘round me
My friends forsake me
I know you'll never let me down
I know you'll never let me down
Oh, I beg you'll never say
Baby
I'm gonna turn my back and walk away from
Baby, no, no oh girl
Because se you another day
Baby, baby, baby, oh girl
I'm so thankful for your love now
I'm just thankful for your love, yeah
I'm so glad you're mine
Baby, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm so glad you're mine, girl
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Baby, yeah, baby
She sits alone by a lamppost
Trying to find a thought that's escaped her mind
She says dads the one I love the most
But stipes not far behind
She never lets me in
Only tell me wheres she's been
When she's had too much to drink
I say that I don't care I just run my hands
Through her dark hair and then I pray to god
You gotta help me fly away
And just...
Let her cry...if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing...if it eases all her pain
Let her go...let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be...let her be.
This morning I woke up alone
Found a note by the phone
Saying maybe, maybe I'll be back some day
I wanted to look for you
You walked in I didn't know just what I should do
So I sat back down and had a beer and felt sorry for
Myself.
Let her cry...if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing...if it eases all her pain
Let her go...let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be...let her be.
Let her cry...if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing...if it eases all her pain
Let her go...let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be...let her be.
Last night I tried to leave
Cried so much I just
Could not believe
She was the same girl i
Fell in love with long ago
She went in the back to
Get high
I sat down on my couch
And cried
Yelling oh mama please
Help me
Wont you hold my hand.
Let her cry...if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing...if it eases all her pain
Let her go...let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be...let her be.
Let her cry...if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing...if it eases all her pain
Let her go...let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Drunk in a stupor all alone
Drank too much and I just can't go home
I'm not ready, I'm lost in faith
Can you wake me now?
And I look back and ask God how?
I get my answer drink up my son
I gave you everything so you'd think you'd won
I thought you'd be so content
But with every drink you repent
oh with every drink you repent
So drink up drink up and you give up today
but I hope that you find some other way
So proud was I to create you
Yet as you grow older pain does ensue
As you grow older pain does ensue
Promise me child promise me tonight
That I am God and I am right
The mind that I gave you is something great, my child
I didn't want you to be second rate
I never wanted you to be second rate
Shine on shine on shine on for me
Shine on shine on for all that you see
As you grow older great things will arise
And you'll finally see why you're my blessed prize
You'll finally see why you're my blessed prize
Your eyes may not see it they don't see it today
Don't see it today
But it takes time to find your way
Find your way
When you find it you'll suddenly see
suddenly see
The way that I made you is the way you should be
The way that I made you is the way you should be
Suddenly see
Girl look at you right there with that wind in your hair
Like a dream in the sunset light
I couldn't love you anymore, I couldn't love you any less
I guess I'm doing something right
But girl you gotta promise me
That if you ever have to leave
Baby lie to me 'cause I couldn't stand the truth
And I couldn't bear the thought of losin' you
Baby lie to me, tell me everything's all right
And when I'm sound asleep, you can fade into the night
Girl, instead of sayin' goodbye
Just lie to me
Last night when I saw you in a dream, you were packing' your things
And baby it all seemed so real
You came to tell me you were gone, my life had ended like a song
Felt as bad as I could feel
So if there ever comes a day
That you wanna walk away
Baby lie to me 'cause I couldn't stand the truth
And I couldn't bear the thought of losin' you
Baby lie to me, tell me everything's all right
And when I'm sound asleep, you can fade into the night
Girl, instead of sayin' goodbye
Just lie to me
Baby just lie to me 'cause I could not stand the truth
And I couldn't beat the thought of losin' you
Baby lie to me, tell me everything is cool
'Cause knowing you were leavin' girl, that would be so cruel
Girl instead of saying' goodbye
Just smile and look me right in the eye
Yeah girl instead of watching' me cry
Just lie to me oh yeah
You've got the keys girl, I'm just a rider
Gas it up and get us outta here
Put the pedal down, I wanna fly girl
Crank it up and catch another gear
Let's go to Vegas, hit California
Or Carolina where the southern breeze blows
You can take me to the moon and back
I can kick my boots off, relax in your Cadillac
Baby take me anywhere you wanna go
Just don't take me down Heartbreak Road no
Don't take me down Heartbreak Road
Baby you had me, first time I saw you
I said where you're going, take me there
Oh girl I'm in now for the long haul
You can pick the place, I don't care
You can take me to the moon and back
I can kick my boots off, relax in your Cadillac
Baby take me anywhere you wanna go
Just don't take me down Heartbreak Road no
Don't take me down Heartbreak Road
We can drive all night, we don't need no plans,
remember that you've got my heart in your hands
Let's go to Vegas, hit California
Or Carolina where the southern breeze blows
You can take me to the moon and back
I can kick off my boots and relax in your Cadillac
You can take me anywhere you wanna go,
Just don't take me down Heartbreak Road no
You can take me to the moon and back
I can kick my boots off,
just lay back in your daddy's Cadillac babe
You can take me anywhere you wanna go
Just don't take me down Heartbreak Road no
I was up in New York City just the other week
You should've seen the waitress face when I ordered sweet tea
She said we don't have that here and I apologized
I said please forgive me I'm in a southern state of mind
And those girls out in California they don't understand
They don't like it when I hold the door or when I say yes ma'am
They act like I done something wrong and they give me the evil eye
I say honey I'm sorry I'm in a southern state of mind
(Chorus)
I could be anywhere
In my heart I'm always there
Where they drink sweet tea and they raise you to be polite
No changin' who I am
That's the way I've always been
No matter what state I'm in
I'm in a southern state of mind
I'm always walkin' round tellin' everybody hi
Just a wavin' at the strangers in the cars passin' by
Some people may look at me and say that boy just ain't right
Hey y'all I ain't crazy I'm in a southern state of mind
Repeat Chorus
You can see it in the clothes I wear, you can hear it when I talk
Ball cap, boots and jeans and a little southern drawl
I could be up in Ohio or back home in Caroline
No matter what state I'm in
I'm in a southern state of mind
Don't matter what state I'm in
I'm in a southern state of mind
Seventeen, the only way I had a car
Is after I dropped my mama off where she needed to go
Four bald tires, with the ceiling famine and the window stuck
But the only thing I cared about was the radio
We'd turn it on, turn it up to ten, and everybody would jump on in
Ridin' down the highway
Who wants to be the DJ
I'll find a spot on the side of the road
You find somethin' on the radio
Like a feel real good song
We'll know it when it comes on
Didn't have no money, no place to go
All we needed was a radio
I'd grab my url, we'd look for somewhere to watch the stars
The perfect place to put it in park and take it slow
She'd sing along, to even the ones that she barely knew
She still sounded good a little outta tune, but we didn't care
I'd look at her, she' d look at me, I'll never forget that melody
Ridin' down the highway
Who wants to be the DJ
I'll find a spot on the side of the road
You find somethin' on the radio
Like a feel real good song
We'll know it when it comes on
Didn't have no money, no place to go
All we needed was a radio
Shhh, hey y'all be quit
That's my favorite song
hey man turn it up loud
Come on, come on, come on
Ridin' down the highway
Who wants to be the DJ
I'll find a spot on the side of the road
You find somethin' on the radio
Like a feel real good song
We'll know it when it comes on
Didn't have no money, no place to go
All we needed was a radio
All we needed, all we needed now
I wanna feel that ocean breeze that's got me wrapped around it's fingers
I wanna hear a southern drawl and every word that lingers
I need a sunday morning song by a just got baptized singer
I been away too long, somebody take me home
I need a glass of sweet sun tea brewed out in the backyard
I wanna see a kudzu vine sneaking up on a junk car
I need to sit on my old back porch 'til the world lets go of my arm
I been away too long, oh somebody take me home
Lord have mercy on a poor boy's soul
Crank it up and make these big wheels roll
Can you get me there by the morning light
And make everything alright
'Cause I been away too long
Oh somebody take me home
I love this job, I do
But my soul is wearing thin
Oh I gotta get lost in where I'm from
And find myself again
Oh I been away too long
Somebody take me home
I wanna waste a day with my little man throwing me that old football
Soend sometime with Daddy's girls catching up on what's going on
Then remind the woman I love just how much I miss her when I'm gone
Oh Lord have mercy on a poor boy's soul
Crank it up and make these big wheels roll
Can you get me there by morning light
Oh lord have mercy on my soul
Crank it up and make these big wheels roll
I wanna be there by morning light
It'll make everything alright
Cause I've been away too long
Oh, I've been away too long
I been away too long
Somebody please, somebody take me home
You and me, we come from different worlds
You like to laugh at me when I look at other girls
Sometimes you're crazy then you wonder why
I'm such a baby 'cause the Dolphins make me cry
But there's nothing I can do
I've been looking for a girl like you
You look at me, you got nothing left to say
I'm gonna pout at you until I get my way
I won't dance, you won't sing
I just wanna love you but you wanna wear my ring
But there's nothing I can do
I only wanna be with you
You can call me a fool
I only wanna be with you
Put on a little Dylan
Sittin' on a fence
I said, "That line is great" you asked me what it meant by
Said I shot a man named Gray
Took his wife to Italy
She inherited a million bucks, and when she died it came to me
I can't help it if I'm lucky
I only wanna be with you
Ain't Bobby so cool
I only wanna be with you
Yeah I'm tangled up in blue
I only wanna be with you
You can call me a fool
Only wanna be with you
Sometimes I wonder if we'll ever end
You get so mad at me when I go out with my friends
Sometimes you're crazy then you wonder why
I'm such a baby, yeah, the Dolphins make me cry
But there's nothing I can do
I only wanna be with you
You can call me a fool
I only wanna be with you
Yeah I'm tangled up in blue
Spring break, tan skin
Lord I can't remember when
I fell, so fast
Knowing it could never last
I got lost in the rhythm of the waves of the ocean
Lost in the sunset too
I got lost in your eyes and the time
Don't you know it
Baby, I got lost in you
Five days, four night
A smile I will remember
For the rest of my life
How sweet was your kiss
I still taste it on my lips
I got lost in the rhythm of the waves of the ocean
Lost in the sunset too
I got lost in your eyes and the time
Don't you know it
Baby, I got lost in you
Packed car, your tears
I said girl I hate to leave you here
I'll be back, I lied
It's been all these years
I still hear your goodbye
I got lost in the rhythm of the waves of the ocean
Lost in the sunset too
I got lost in your eyes and the time
Don't you know it
Baby, I got lost in you
I got lost in the rhythm of the waves of the ocean
Lost in the sunset too, yeah
I got lost in your eyes and the time
Don't you know it
Baby I got lost in you, yeah
Baby I got lost in you
Every friend has got a friend in mind
'Cause I've had more than a little time
So it's on your mark, get ready, set
But I know my heart's not ready yet
I can walk into a room without you
And I don't get drunk and talk about you
So I guess I've learned to live without you
I just don't know how to love without you
She don't have to look just like you
No her eyes don't have to be that blue
It's hard to give someone a chance
When you can't get past that second dance
I can walk into a room without you
And I don't get drunk and talk about you
So I guess I've learned to live without you
I just don't know how to love without you
Sometimes the pain is dulled to numb
And I can't believe how far I've come
I can walk into a room without you
(I can breathe without you)
And I, I don't get drunk and talk about you no more, no more
(And I can sleep without you)
So I, I guess I've learned to live without you
(I can be without, I can be without you)
I just don't know how to love without you
(I don't know how, I don't know how)
See, see I, I had to learn to live without you
(I had to learn to live without you)
Oh but I just don't know how to, how to love, how to love without you
(Oh I just don't know, how to love, how to love without you)
Every friend has got a friend in mind
November of '43
On a boat comin' 'cross the sea
He left a boy, came back a man
She started running' when she saw his face
It'd been 655 days
Since she held his hand
He got down on one knee
and pulled out that ring
That he bought in Aberdeen
And when it hit that New York sky
It shined just like a spotlight
A star up in the night sky
The kind of thing that takes your breath away
Her eyes sparked like that diamond
With love beaming from 'em
The kind of light that's never gonna fade
It's gonna shine
For the next 55 years
Through the laughter and the tears
My grandma always fore that band
through atom bombs and a baby boom
Dr. King and a man on the moon
No it never left her hand
On the day she passed away
Mama put it on a chain
Now and then on special days
Mom would wear it around her neck
It shined just like a spotlight
A star up in the night sky
The kind of thing that takes your breath away
Her eyes sparked like that diamond
With love beaming from 'em
The kind of light that's never gonna fade
It's gonna shine
Mama said one of these days
I'd know why she gave me that ring
Sittin' here I know she was right
Oh, it's knot the biggest stone you've ever seen
But girl I can promise you one thing
The rest of your life
It's gonna shine just like a spotlight
A star up in the night sky
The kind of thing that takes your breath away
your eyes sparkled like that diamond
With love beaming from 'em
The kind of light that's never, never, never gonna fade
It's gonna shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine
Like a beacon calling me home
It's gonna shine
I'd like to ask you from the start
If you could pull me out of the dark.
Or if our love could fall apart like cookies crumble.
See, I'm a demon on the loose.
I'm like an engine with no caboose.
And I need somebody who can really handle me.
Yeah, baby, I'm a wild one.
Don't let me run.
Don't let me get away.
Yeah, baby, I'm a wild, wild one.
Yeah, baby, I'm a wild one.
Don't let me run.
Don't let me get away.
Yeah, baby, I'm a wild one.
I just wanna let you know, girl,
I'm attracted to your physical.
But, I got this lazy eye that likes to wander, oh.
See, I'm tired of being alone,
So if you throw this dog a bone,
Baby, you and I can make our house a home, yeah.
Yeah, baby, I'm a wild one.
Don't let me run.
Don't let me get away.
Yeah, baby, I'm a wild, wild one.
Yeah, baby, I'm a wild one.
Don't let me run. Don't let me get away.
Yeah, baby, I'm a wild one.
Oh, you could be the one who saves me,
Or try to be the one who tames me.
Girl, you are the one who's changing my way of life.
I'm tired of painting the town with ladies
Or living the life so hazy.
I'm tired of all my lies,
I think I want some real love
But, girl, you gotta realize.
Yeah that, baby, I'm a wild one.
Don't let me run.
Don't let me get away.
Yeah, baby I'm a wild, wild one.
Yeah, baby I'm a wild one.
Don't let me run.
Don't let me get away.
Yeah, baby I'm a, (hog wild, yeah) one
Yeah, baby,
I'm a wild one,
I'm a wild one,
Dont let me get away,
Yeah, baby, I'm a wild, wild wild one,
(Yeah, baby, I'm a) Hog wild, don't let me run
Don't let me get away
