I never let my guard down,
I'm known to be a cautious man,
I ain't got much to lose if I never take a chance,
I ain't had much luck at loving her,
That's what keeps me on my toes,
I keep my shoestrings tied up tight,
I keep both eyes on the road... so
Tell me why, why, why do I fall, fall, fall every time,
Just when I think I'm over her I get tripped up from behind,
I really should know better but my heart gets ahead of my mind,
I don't know why, why, why but I fall, fall, fall every time
I go out of my way not to stray into her part of town,
There ain't no shortcuts takin' the long way around,
I keep goin' 'round in circles,
But I can't drive away her memory,
I try to take a left turn,
But I'm right back where I used to be... so
Tell me why, why, why do I fall, fall, fall every time,
Just when I think I'm over her I get tripped up from behind,
I really should know better but my heart gets ahead of my mind,
I don't know why, why, why but I fall, fall, fall every time
Tell me why, why, why do I fall, fall, fall every time,
Just when I think I'm over her I get tripped up from behind,
I really should know better but my heart gets ahead of my mind,
I don't know why, why, why but I fall, fall, fall every time
Every heart has a private space,
A place of hiding,
For things we can't face,
And I know you're wondering,
If I'm really what I seem,
Or if out of a shadow someday,
There'll come a different me
So I want you to read me like a book
From cover to cover,
Open up the pages,
And see all that I am,
Memorize my heart,
Like an old love letter,
And from the beginning you'll see,
There is no end
There are times,
I wouldn't have made you proud,
But some things,
Are just hard to talk about,
But I'll be truthful,
I'm gonna lay it all on the line,
So if there's anything you wan to ask of me,
Baby I don't mind
So I want you to read me like a book
From cover to cover,
Open up the pages,
And see all that I am,
Memorize my heart,
Like an old love letter,
And from the beginning you'll see,
There is no end
Memorize my heart,
Like an old love letter,
And from the beginning you'll see,
There is no end
For you and me,
There is no end,
To you and me,
I was with the 42nd back in 1943,
I've fought for freedom on the shores of every sea,
But nowadays it's different all I feel is shame,
People dying everyday and I'm the one they blame
I wish I was a swingset in some little kid's backyard,
A tractor in a field or a bumber on a car,
I wish I was something that couldn't hurt no one,
Of all the things I could have been, I had to be a gun
They hide me in their lockers in the high school halls,
I hand out on the corners I've broken every law,
I've laid there in the court rooms tagged exhibit B,
Watched them go away in chains while I go back to the streets
I wish I was a swingset in some little kid's backyard,
A tractor in a field or a bumber on a car,
I wish I was something that couldn't hurt no one,
Of all the things I could have been, I had to be a gun
Undearneath a sweater hidden on a closet shelf,
His tiny hands reached for me but I couldn't scream for help
I wish I was a swingset in some little kid's backyard,
A tractor in a field or a bumber on a car,
I wish I was something that couldn't hurt no one,
I have stumbled, I have complained,
On this rough and rocky road,
I've been humbled, Caught out in the rain,
And it chilled me to the bone,
Lawd now I've seen my dreams scatter,
Like leaves lost in the wind,
And if I could do it over,
I'd go through it all again
Cause every path I haven't chosen,
Every heart that wasn't true,
Every door that wouldn't open,
Led me straight to you
I've been lonely, I've held on to love,
That I was never meant to have,
No one told me,
That til I let go, It would stay beyond my grasp,
Well it took a little heartache,
And it took a lot of time,
But the love I diddn't look for,
Is the best I'll ever find
Cause every path I haven't chosen,
Every heart that wasn't true,
Every door that wouldn't open,
Led me straight to you
Every hour I've felt forsaken,
Every storm I've struggled through,
Every chance I've ever taken,
Led me straight to you,
Shut up heart quit messing with my mind,
You've done gone and been proved wrong,
One too many times,
Yeah you're the one who got me,
In this sorry shape I'm in,
Shup up heart, I'll never listen to you again
There's a lady in the vorner,
Think I'll ask her for a dance,
Now let me do the talking,
And we might stand a chance,
I ain't forgot the last time,
You told me what to do,
She ran off and left me stuck,
With a fool like you
Shut up heart quit messing with my mind,
You've done gone and been proved wrong,
One too many times,
Yeah you're the one who got me,
In this sorry shape I'm in,
Shup up heart, I'll never listen to you again
I'll tell her what she wants to hear,
And I don't neat your help,
Don't care what your feelings are,
Just keep 'em to yourself don't want you nowhere near her,
When I try my luck,
You stay out of this tonight,
Keep your big mouth shut
Shut up heart quit messing with my mind,
You've done gone and been proved wrong,
One too many times,
Yeah you're the one who got me,
In this sorry shape I'm in,
Shup up heart, I'll never listen to you again
Shup up heart, I'll never listen to you again
There was never a doubt if I could just hold out,
This is how good love could be
I'd find that special someone lucky me,
I always knew it could happen if
I could only hold on to my heart,
We'd be together forever and never part
I've been saving, saving my love for you,
I've been waiting for the right one to give it to,
All of my life I've dreamed of this day,
When I'd give my heard away,
And to who, I've been saving, saving my love for you
There's always that once in a lifetime
When a love like this comes along,
When something that feels so right just can't be wrong,
That's how I feel today,
A love this strong will never fade away
I've been saving, saving my love for you,
I've been waiting for the right one to give it to,
All of my life I've dreamed of this day,
When I'd give my heard away,
And to who, I've been saving, saving my love for you
All of my life I've dreamed of this day
When I'd give my heart away,
And to who, I've been saving, saving my love for you,
When I was seventeen, immature and green,
I thought I knew the man, I wanted me to be,
I never saw myself, working here this way,
I'd thought I'd make the majors, or be standing on a stage
But sometimes fate can put you,
Where you ought to be,
It brought me here to you,
And now you're all I'll ever need
And my only claim to fame is you,
I'm the best I'll ever be,
Because you're loving me,
You're the hometown crowd,
That stands and cheers,
For everything I do,
My only claim to fame is you
It's funny how things change, when you find someone to love,
The things I used to wish for, no longer mean that much,
I wouldn't trade this life, with anyone on earth,
And all that you have given is more than I deserve
And I'm thankful fate has put me,
Where I ought to be, It brought me here to you,
And now you're all I'll ever need
And my only claim to fame is you,
I'm the best I'll ever be, Because you're loving me,
You're the hometown crowd,
That stands and cheers,
For everything I do,
My only claim to fame is you
I play country music 'cause I'm from back in the woods,
I play rock and roll 'cause it makes me feel good,
I play them ol 'blues to take the load off my mind,
I play what I feel some call that a crime
Lawd if guitars were guns I'd be Jesse James
Stealin' the show like robbin' them old trains
Then I'd run off to my hideout in the cold Missouri rain,
Lawd if guitars were guns I'd be Jesse James
Some make music for the money I make it for the sound,
Hide your dishes and your daughters me and the boys are back in town,
If you think I'm messin' 'round I'm here to tell you that I ain't,
I'm gonna take your heart like money from a bank
Lawd if guitars were guns I'd be Jesse James
Stealin' the show like robbin' them old trains
Then I'd run off to my hideout in the cold Missouri rain,
Searching for some answers about this kind of life,
We knew a man who'd done it all, made the sacrifice,
We told him we were ready,
We thought our time had come,
Then he looked at us and smiled the words rolled off his tongue
Sometimes it's the singer,
And then sometimes it's the song,
Just forget the destination son, it's the journey that you're on,
And the road goes through the honkey tonks,
The dance halls and the bars
The music's here forever boys and heros come and go,
One day you'll be lookin' back farther down the road,
So don't try to take the credit for what's written in the stars,
And don't apologize for who you are
They're livin' proof of what it takes,
Men who ain't afraid to show their scars,
There'll be those who criticize,
There'll be time for compromise,
But don't apologize for who you are,
No, don't apologize for who you are,
No, don't apologize for who you are,
Wounded and weary, he camt riding through our camp, He said, "This war's almost over boys, go on back to Birmingham", But I
still could hear the thunder of the cannons in my head, as I walked 200 miles among the living and the dead
I could only pray I had a home to go home to, Oh, I left my young bride waiting in a path of Union blue, Now visions of her
haunt me on this lonely road tonight, And I'd surrender all of Dixie if I could just hold my...
Confederate Rose, Heaven hold her safe till I get home, And the angels know, She's the sweetest southern flower ever grown
My Confederate Rose
Hey, mister have you seen her, a girl with raven hair, He said, "Look out in the church yard, son, a lot of us are there", A
broken heart will trick a mind and say that she's not gone, But my eyes just couldn't lie about the name there on the stone
Confederate Rose, Confederate Rose
A tender hand upon my shoulder sent a chill all over me, I turned and saw my darling and, cried "Oh, Lord how can this be",
She said, "That's not me a lyin' there, but some you never knew, Oh, I may have named her after me, but she looked just like
you"
Confederate Rose, Heaven hold her safe till we get home, And the angels know
She's the sweetest southern flower ever grown, Our Confederate Rose
Verse 1:
Sun comes up, tide goes out, a new day begins
Palm trees sway, as children play, in the sand
Seagulls fly, across the sky, two by two
Another perfect day for missin' you
Chorus:
I don't see know hope on the horizon
I can't feel no changes in the wind
And even though it is the only thing, that I have to do
Another perfect day for missin' you
Verse 2:
Pretty girls, golden tans, passin' by
I just see, your auburn hair, and emerald eyes
But I can't complain, it never rains, it's always blue
Another perfect day for missin' you
(Chorus)
And even though it is the only thing, that I have to do
