Well a whole lot of people like Saturday night
Gettin' loud and crazy, well it just feels right
I guess everybody loves to see it come
Just forget everything and go and have some fun
And the same goes for me, oh but lately
Don't you know that lately
There's somethin' bout a Sunday mornin' breeze
Church bells ringin', "Bringin' in the sheaves"
And the smell of the supper, simmerin' on the stove
A little bit of both's sure good for the soul
Sittin' on the swing with her head on the chest
Givin' any worries one day's rest
Suddenly every thing's gonna be okay
There's somethin' 'bout a Sunday
Now that big bad Monday is bound to come
That ol' alarm clock's ringin' and we up and run
Well there's a whole lotta headaches that we get into
Everybody's wonderin' how to make it through
Well the same goes for me, oh but lately
Don't you know that lately, yeah
There's somethin' bout a Sunday mornin' breeze
Church bells ringin', "Bringin' in the sheaves"
And the smell of the supper, simmerin' on the stove
A little bit of both's sure good for the soul
Sittin' on the swing with her head on the chest
Givin' any worries one day's rest
Suddenly every thing's gonna be okay
There's somethin' 'bout a Sunday
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Sittin' on the swing with her head on the chest
Givin' any worries one day's rest
Suddenly every thing's gonna be okay
There's somethin' 'bout a Sunday
Made it through Monday,Tuesday, Wednesday
Made it through Friday night
Work week drove me out of my mind
Now it's outta sight
Got til Sunday to things our way
Heres how its going to be
I'll follow you out on that floor
If you'll follow me
Chorus:
We're gong to get lost in the shufle
It's going to be an all night, hold tight, feels right now kinda shuffle
An invitation to dance on the double
Forget about your troubles baby
Lets get lost in the shuffle
Gonna take my chances on a little line dance
Baby put your hand on mine
Oh, let me sweep you off your feet
Leave your blues behind
Everytime you swing me, girl you know it brings me
Two steps closer to love
Oh, you just tell me what to do, I'll show you how it's done
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge:
Mama says she loves shortnin' bread
Baby loves being with me instead
Mama wants baby back home in bed
Lets forget about what Mama said
Repeat Chorus)
Forget about your troubles baby
There's a party in my honor at my house, tonight
A few of my ol' drinking buddies will be droppin' by
They'll come to celebrate my graduation
After eight long years of higher education
Here's to me, I finally passed the bar
As I drove by that ol' honky tonk still tuggin' at my heart
I never dreamed that neon night school would ever be so hard
I can't believe at last, I finally passed the bar
I've got an awful lot of memories that I can't recall
But I know from those old stories, I must have had a ball
Well, with the money that I spent on my tuition
What would you do hoss?
Well, I could retire and spend the rest of my life fishin', oh well
Here's to me, I finally passed the bar
As I drove by that ol' honky tonk still tuggin' at my heart
I never dreamed that neon night school would ever be so hard
I can't believe at last, I finally passed the bar
I was first in my class to the bottom of a glass
But it was killin' me, tell me about it
I used to get loaded
But now I've been voted most likely to succeed
Here's to me, I finally passed the bar
As I drove by that ol' honky tonk still tuggin' at my heart
I never dreamed that neon night school would ever be so hard
Well, I can't believe at last, I finally passed the bar
I can't believe at last, I finally passed the bar
Do you remember our first dance together?
I prayed for a slow song, it felt like forever
Then I made my move, you smiled as I reached for you
I had this feeling that you would be my girl
And as the band played, 'Welcome To My World'
We both had to laugh at the song fate had chose for
You and me 'cause every word fit so perfectly
And every feeling we felt is still true
Life is a slow dance with you
Each moment without you is one moment too long
'Cause every love song that I hear is our song
Who would have believed after all this time it's still
You and me 'cause every word fit so perfectly
And every feeling we felt is still true
Life is a slow dance with you
Oh, it's just me and you
Together we're right where we're meant to be
And I'm sure that I'll say when my time is through
Lately evolution theory
Is hitting home a lot more clearly
As our love slowly dies each day
You say this love ain't worth reviving
There's no chance of us surviving
We're doomed to simply fade away
That's what they said about the buffalo
The timber wolf and the eagle too
They made a comeback and I know
So could me and you
Let's get off of love's endangered list
We've got something that this world would miss
I know you're sayin' there's no hope
That's what they said about the buffalo
We put in too many long nights
Working late and chasing the wildlife
Living like two hard headed fools
It's really not too big a mystery
The reason we are almost history
The talk all over town says we are through
That's what they said about the buffalo
The timber wolf and the eagle too
They made a comeback and I know
So could me and you
Let's get off of love's endangered list
Yeah, we've got something that this world would miss
I know you're sayin' there's no hope
That's what they said about the buffalo
I know you're sayin' there's no hope
Barely old enough to call it love
Showin' off, skippin' rocks
'Cross the water
Stones
I handed one to you, you put it in your pocket
Said you loved it, said you'd keep it
Forever
Stones
One by one they mark our passage
Along this winding road we're on
And with each turn we take
From the cradle to the grave
Our lives are paved with stones
A tiny velvet box, one perfect little rock
A little thing, it's just a ring
But it says marry me
Stones
We'll build ourselves home, where love's the cornerstone
And we'll have children and they'll have children
'Til they roll off on their own
Like Stones
And one by one they mark our passage
Along this winding road we're on
And with each turn we take
From the cradle to the grave
Our lives are paved with...
Birth stones, stepping stones
Skipping rocks and dodging lots of
Sticks and stones, well I've been on
Both sides of throwing
Stones
The years are like the wind, they're here and gone and then
They'll blow away our every trace
All except our names engraved
In stones
One by one they mark our passage
Along this winding road we're on
And with each turn we take
From the cradle to the grave
Everybody's wavin' good-bye to Joe
His wife called, last call he's gotta go
Kinda brings a tear to every single guy
I admire his dedication, he's a family man
Thirteen years had a ring on his hand
Kinda makes me wonder if I should give it a try
Well I would if I could, but I can't so I won't
They're sayin' I do, I'm sayin' I don't
I won't regret it one single minute
'Cause love's great when you're not in it
No curtains on the windows, just a couple sheets
T.V, dinners, my life is complete
Ain't no one more committed, I love the single life
If I want to, I can put on my cleanest dirty shirt
Stay out all night for better or worse
Just look what I'd be missin' if I had a wife
Well I would if I could, but I can't so I won't
They're sayin' I do, I'm sayin' I don't
I won't regret it one single minute
'Cause love's great when you're not in it
Well I would if I could, but I can't so I won't
They're sayin' I do, I'm sayin' I don't
I won't regret it one single minute
'Cause love's great when you're not in it
I would if I could, but I can't so I won't
They're sayin' I do, I'm sayin' I don't
I won't regret it one single minute
Jenny's got a nose ring and tattoo on her skin
All her friends are doing it and she wants to fit in
It's not about rebellion, she just has a need
To feel like she belongs
Her mama takes one look at her and flies into a rage
Says, "When you gonna grow up child and learn to act your age?"
But when a young girl's cry for attention
Lies beyond her mama's comprehension, it's just
Human beings being human
Not sure what they're doing
Trying to do the best they can
Just human beings being human
Every woman, child and man
Harry's turning forty nine, his hair is turning gray
Now he's acting like he's longing for his glory days
He buys a Harley, dyes his hair, he's lifting weights
And wearing new cologne
His wife of twenty years is worried where it's gonna lead
Will he turn to someone else to fill his every need?
Lately she's afraid he's gonna leave her
But he's just doing all he can to keep her, it's just
Human beings being human
Not sure what they're doing
Trying to do the best they can
Just human beings being human
Every woman, child and man
Sometimes we doubt, sometimes we fear
Often wonder why we're here
Where do we fit in the plan
We're all bound to make mistakes
And when we do it helps to understand, it's just
Human beings being human
Not sure what they're doing
Trying to do the best they can
Just human beings being human
Every woman, child and man
Human beings being human
Not sure what we're doing
Trying to do the best we can
Just human beings being human
Every woman, child and man
Human beings being human
Not sure what we're doing
Trying to do the best we can
Just human beings being human
Every woman, child and man
Human beings being human
Not sure what we're doing
Trying to do the best we can

I never dreamed that neon night school would ever be so hard
Well, I can't believe at last, I finally passed the bar
I can't believe at last, I finally passed the bar
This bar has been my home away from her
Used to be, she was missing me
Now she's moving in with her best friend
And I'm the only one who wants what used to be
I'm here because today I lost it all
I didn't want to drink at home alone
I just can't believe all my hopes and dreams are falling
Like a row of dominoes
I thought the man behind the bar had heard it all before
My story must have caught him by surprise
'Cause when he handed me my double, there were tears in his eyes
You know you're in trouble when the bartender cries
He said, "Last night you swore you'd never drink again"
I said, "Next time, I'm really gonna try"
So if she ever calls for me
Oh, you can finally tell her, "He ain't here" and it won't be a lie
I asked the man behind the bar what he'd been crying for
He said, "That bottle used to be a friend of mine?
Now I've stopped drinking doubles but I pour them all of the time
Son, you know you're in trouble when the bartender cries
As I saw my own reflection staring back at me
And I knew every single word he said was true
I told the man behind the bar, I thought I'd seen it all before
Till I saw the sadness in his eyes
That's when I put down my double and said my last goodbyes
You know you're in trouble when the bartender cries
You were all she ever wanted, that was once upon a time
She was all you every needed, that's what makes it such a crime
How you took her heart for granted, how you threw her love away
Now you still don't understand it, if you did, you'd never say...
Chorus:
It was too good to be true...
What did you expect a girl as good as her to do?
What do you think would make that woman go and find somebody new?
She's not too good to be true..
She's just too good to be true to you.
Just because she never said so, doesn't mean she didn't see
Everytime you stole an apple off somebody else's tree
Late last night that lipstick letter she left on the bedroom door
Said "You don't get it, and you ain't gonna get it anymore!"
Every Friday night
You will find me here
Watchin' people dancin' in a line
While I'm talking to this long neck beer
Throw me out there on the floor
I'll show 'em all a thing or two
Both my feet are left, don't know the fancy steps
But here's a dance that anyone can do
Kick off your workin' boots
Kick on that big back beat
Don't need to do much more
Just let the music move your feet
In time to the rhythm rock steady
Everybody's getting ready to romp
Ain't nothing' to it
Now all you gotta do is just stomp
Do it loose or do it tight, do it if it takes all night
Just put both feet on the ground
Pick 'em up and slam 'em down
Even if you do it wrong you're doin' it right
Kick off your workin' boots
Kick on that big back beat
Don't need to do much more
Just let the music move your feet
In time to the rhythm rock steady
Everybody's getting ready to romp
Ain't nothing' to it
Now all you gotta do is just stomp
Kick off your workin' boots
Kick on that big back beat
Don't need to do much more
Just let the music move your feet
In time to the rhythm rock steady
Everybody's getting ready to romp
Ain't nothing'' to it
Now all you gotta do is just stomp
Kick off your workin' boots
Kick on that big back beat
Don't need to do much more
Just let the music move your feet
In time to the rhythm rock steady
Everybody's getting ready to romp
Oh ain't nothing' to it
Now all you gotta do is just stomp
Yeah ain't nothin' to it
It's Monday 8 a.m., traffic jam
But you and I have got a better plan
Forget the daily grind, dollar signs
Stress and life or death, deadlines
Let's live like millionaires today
Laughin' all the way
To the bank of the river on the outskirts of town
With a fishin' pole in the water hole and throw a blanket down
Get a bucket of Kentucky fried, put twenty in the tank
Blow the dust off of that bottle of wine we never drank
There's never been a better day to be
Laughin' all the way to the bank
We're gonna live it up, the two of us
Feet in the mud and our heads in the clouds
Stay like the wealthy crowd, fast and loud
Any rich man would be proud
To share this poor man's holiday
Laughin' all the way
To the bank of the river on the outskirts of town
With a fishin' pole in the water hole and throw a blanket down
Get a bucket of Kentucky fried, put twenty in the tank
Blow the dust off of that bottle of wine we never drank
There's never been a better day to be
Laughin' all the way to the bank
To the bank of the river on the outskirts of town
With a fishin' pole in the water hole and throw a blanket down
Get a bucket of Kentucky fried, put twenty in the tank
Blow the dust off of that bottle of wine we never drank
There's never been a better day, who says time off doesn't pay
I did everything I could to get you here tonight
Without telling you why
Now girl if you only would, please hold out your hand
Just close your eyes
I've been dying to ask you one burning question
"Will you be mine?"
From here to eternity
I'm asking you to share your life with me
Now and forever I guarantee, I'll always stay by your side
I promise my love to you
I'm willing and able and ready to
Whatever you need
I am here for you, and I'll always be
From here to eternity
I saved a year for this ring, I can't wait to see
How it looks on your hand
I'll give you everything that one woman needs
From a one woman man
I'll be strong, I'll be tender a man of my word
And I will be yours
From here to eternity
I'm asking you to share your life with me
Now and forever I guarantee, I'll always stay by your side
I promise my love to you
I'm willing and able and ready to
Whatever you need
I am here for you, and I'll always be
I was twelve when daddy said to me
"Don't take to drinkin' boy that road don't lead nowhere
And don't you ever let me hear you swear
Don't you dare"
He told me, "Stealing is a lazy man's way
Something for nothing leaves you hell to pay
So don't lie, then you can look the whole world in the eye
Honey, I've tried"
But since I've met you girl I'm breakin' every rule
I must confess I'm just a backsliding fool
I want to drink from your loving cup
Swear, I'll never give you up
Steal all your kisses underneath the moon
I want to lie here close to you
Look what you make me do
Darlin' you're the reason why
I drink, swear, steal and lie
Last night I threw away your twelve step book
I finally faced the fact that I am hooked on you
There's nothing more that I can do
Ain't no use
'Cause every time I see your angel face
My anger disappears without a trace
I swear, girl I admit I haven't got a prayer
But I don't care
Well, I know this ain't exactly how I was raised
But Heaven help me honey, I ain't changing my ways
I want to drink from your loving cup
Swear, I'll never give you up
Steal all your kisses underneath the moon
I want to lie here close to you
Look what you make me do
Darlin' you're the reason why
I drink, swear, steal and lie
I want to drink from your loving cup
Swear, I'll never give you up
Steal all your kisses underneath the moon
I want to lie here close to you
Look what you make me do
Darlin' you're the reason why
I drink, swear, steal and lie
I slowly turned the pages
and see all these smiling faces
it's hard to believe it was today, ten years ago
here is the invitation, to our wedding celebration
just look at the promise theses pictures show(now I know)
Chorus:
If I had loved he by the book
She would be right here by my side
but fool that I am
I overlooked my promise to love her forever, for worse
or forever
We'd still be together...if I had loved her by the book
If I'd opened the book more often
Then I wouldn't forgotten
How much she cared, and how much I meant my solemn vow
To honor, to have and to hold her...but as I read them over
I know its to late to say I'm sorry now, but some how
(Repeat Chorus twice)
Tonight as I lay close to you, you whispered in my ear
Just how much you love me, I wiped away your tears
And after you were fast asleep I looked out at the stars
And counted one for every single blessing that you are
I want you to know, I need you to see
The wonder and the miracle that you are to me
My love is as endless as the stars in the sky
I wanted you to see it too before another day goes by
As I closed the window a star fell from the sky
I kissed you on the shoulder, you opened up your eyes
You'll hear what's in my heart before this moment fades away
I'll take you in my arms, pull you close to me and say
I want you to know, I need you to see
The wonder and the miracle that you are to me
Starting tonight, I made up my mind
You'll know how much I love you before another day goes by
I want you to know, I need you to see
The wonder and the miracle that you are to me
Starting tonight, I made up my mind
You'll know how much I love you before another day
(Michael Peterson/Ashe Underwood)
If you had asked me, I'd have told you
There ain't nothin' I don't know
Like no matter how I hurt her, I just knew she'd never go
Up until the day she left me, I'd have sworn I'd never crawl
Well it's amazing just how much I've learned
Since I thought I knew it all
Figured she'd be much too frightened, to make it on her own
So I was sure that she'd come cryin'
After just one night alone
I kept waitin' by the telephone, so certain she would call
It's amazing just how much I've learned
Since I thought I knew it all
I never knew a broken heart
Could turn you inside out
I didn't know, that I didn't know
What love was all about
If she came walking through the front door
There's a million things I say
Like "I love you" and "I missed you, please don't ever go away."
And if you would just forgive me
I'll be at your beck and call
'Cause it's amazing just how much I've learned
Since I thought I knew it all
It's amazing just how much I've learned
Since I thought I knew it all

(Dewayne Blackwell)
She learned to hate the limousine
The fancy full-length fur
Dom Perignon and French cuisine
Don't mean a thing to her
What good is her pedestal
When he works all though the night
So in time, she found a dance floor
And some arms to hold her tight
Now every night they dance with her to some brushes on a drum
A standup bass, and steel guitars, play a tune, she can hum
Ain't it sad, ain't it funny, how a man can be so wrong
He tried to buy her love with money
He could've had her for a song
She wanted him... but what a shame
He didn't realize
Love can never stay the same
It either grows or dies
What made him think his duty was to place her high above
He married her for beauty, she married him for love
Now every night they dance with her to some brushes on a drum
A standup bass, and steel guitars, play a tune, she can hum
Ain't it sad, ain't it funny, oh how a man can be so wrong
He tried to buy her love with money
He could've had her for a song
Now every night they dance with her to some brushes on a drum

Sure feels real good sittin' with you way up here
When you whisper in my ear.. sure feels real good
Sure feels so right stayin' with you all night long
Ain't no way to get it wrong.. sure feels so right
It happened for a reason
It happened by design
It happens every time you put your tender lips to mine
Ain't sayin' that you shouldn't
Ain't sayin' that you should
But it'd sure feel real good... if you would
Sure is easy when your head is on my chest
I can figure out the rest.. sure is easy
It happened for a reason
It happened by design
It happens every time you put your tender lips to mine
Ain't sayin' that you shouldn't
Ain't sayin' that you should
But it'd sure feel real good... if you would
Don't need to buy me presents
Don't need to spend a dime
The sweetest thing that you could ever give me is your time
Ain't sayin' that shouldn't
Ain't sayin' that you should
But it's sure feel real good.. if you would
Look how far we've come girl I owe it all to you
The first time I had seconds thoughts
About loving you I almost walked away
I'm glad I stayed
I know you love me like nobody does
So now I'm certain that if stayin' was a mistake
It was the best one I ever made
Seemed I was always just a few footsteps behind
But still you knew
If you were patient that in time my heart
Would find it's way to you
Look how far we've come, girl it's all because
You would not give up on me
If I stop to count all my blessings out
I know what they would be
Your forgiveness, devotion, our love and an ocean
Of little things you do
Yeah, I've got it all and I owe it all to you
If ever there was someone I could trust
Beyond a shadow of a doubt, it must be you
Girl, your love is true
If life ever brings us to a standstill girl
We'll catch love's second wind
And let it blow our hearts away to places we have never been
Look how far we've come girl it's all because
You would not give up on me
If I stop to count all my blessings out
I know what they would be
Your forgiveness, devotion, our love and an ocean
Of little things you do
Yeah, I've got it all and I owe it all to you
I owe it all to you, I owe it all to you
I've been holdin' you for hours
Wish I had a couple hundred more
Maybe then I'd find the words to say what happens
When I put my lips to yours
I could try and write a legendary love song
But there's never been a rhyme
To show you how I'm feeling
So let me love you one more time
It's like a hundred prayin' angels
When you're whisperin' my name
The way you reach me in the darkness
Makes me want you like candle wants the flame
As I hold your tender body
And surrender everything
I know that I'm never gonna leave you
So let me love you one more time
Let me love you one more time
Drink your kiss like it was wine
'Cause when I hold your heart like mine
We can leave this world behind
There's the first light of tomorrow
On the wall above the bed
Is it real what I remember
Or just embers of a dream inside my head?
As I'm thinkin' that it didn't really happen
And feeling it's a crime
You smile at me and tell me
Let me love you one more time
Let me love you one more time
Drink your kiss like it was wine
'Cause when I hold your heart like mine
We can leave this world behind
(Michael Peterson/Robert Ellis Orrall)
Waitin' for the wind to blow
Waitin' for the earth to shake
Holdin' out for the one true love
Afraid of makin' a mistake
With a mistaken notion
That a river of emotion's gonna
Sweep you off your feet
Hopin' someone else can make your life complete
Just remember.
It ain't what you get, it's what you give
Not where you look, but how you live
Not if you take a chance, but how you take it
You find love when you make it... oh oh!
You find love when you make it... yeah!
Somebody's out there tonight
Tryin' to find you somehow
Holdin' out for the one true love
Do you get the picture now?
You'll understand it
When it happens, wild abandon's gonna...
Sweep you off your feet
The love you give away will make your life complete
Just remember.
It ain't what you get, it's what you give
Now where you look, but how you live
Not if you take a chance, but how you take it
You'll find love when you make it... oh oh!
You'll find love when you make it... yeah!
If everybody's tryin' to find the right one
Go ahead and be the right one
And love will find you
And when it does, it's gonna...
Sweep you off your feet
The love you give away will make your life complete
Just remember.
It ain't what you get, it's what you give
Now where you look, but how you live
Not if you take a chance, but how you take it
You'll find love when you make it... oh oh!
(Michael Peterson/Jim Weatherly)
How did we get here?
How did we find our way?
How did we know which road to take?
What did we do right?
Was it just in the stars?
Maybe that's why some lovers survive
And others just fall apart
We're two of the lucky ones
Heaven sure smiled on us
There've always been a chosen few
Who win and love and those who lose
Baby me and you, we're two of the lucky ones
When I look around
There's sadness in so many eyes
Then I look at you and all we've been through
That's when I realize
We're two of the lucky ones
Heaven sure smiled on us
There've always been a chosen few
Who win and love and those who lose
Baby me and you, we're two of the lucky ones
Call it fate, call it destiny
Nothing can destroy a love that's truly meant to be
We're two of the lucky ones
Heaven sure smiled on us
There've always been a chosen few
Who win and love and those who lose
