It′s just a piece of paper, it says, "In God We Trust" A little sure felt good But a lot was not enough And everybody loved me when I was on a roll And I thought I had everything When I held the gold
But you′re not my god And you′re not my friend You′re not the one that I will walk with in the end You′re not the truth You′re a temporary shot You ruin people′s lives and you don′t give a second thought You′re not my god
Little white lies on a mirror Cut neatly in a roll Medicine that kept me from lookin′ in my soul I thought you were the answer To all of my despair And you almost had me six feet down But I′m still breathin′ air
′Cause you′re not my god And you′re not my friend You′re not the one that I will walk with in the end You′re not the truth You′re a temporary shot You ruin people′s lives and you don′t give a second thought You′re not my god
From the cradle to the grave Temptations all around But no matter how good the fix It′s gonna take you down Now some call it a weakness Some call it a sin But it′s all the same behind each game I see your evil grin
But you′re not my god And you′re not my friend You′re not the one that I will walk with in the end You′re not the truth You′re a temporary shot You ruin people′s lives and you don′t give a second thought
Whoa, you′re not my god And you′re not my friend You′re not the one that I will walk with in the end You′re not the truth You′re a temporary shot You ruin people′s lives and you don′t give a second thought You′re not my god
You′re not my god Oh oh oh you′re not my god You′re not my god Mmmmm not my god Not my god You′re not, you′re not, you′re not my god No you′re not
Yeah, yeah Ooh it′s a love thing I been working all day long And I′m ready to come on home to you All the other guys roll their eyes And don′t realize it′s what I want to do It′s what I want to do They say I′m wrapped around your finger But they don′t understand That what we got is more than just a diamond On your hand
Baby it′s a love thing, whoa Baby it′s a love thing, yeah
Sure I could hang around and complain about The way things ought to be Yeah there′s trouble in the world But you′re the girl Whose open arms are all I really need And that′s why I come runnin′ To be there by your side To let ′em call me crazy But it can′t be denied
Baby it′s a love thing, whoa Baby it′s a love thing, yeah
And it′s not about the same last name It′s not a thing that can be explained It′s how you make me feel inside And the way you hold me everynight
It′s a love thing, whoa Oh baby, it′s a love thing, yeah
He we go now It′s a love thing
They say I′m wrapped around your finger But they don′t understand That what we got is more than just a diamond On your hand Baby it′s a love thing, whoa Oh baby it′s a love thing, yeah Come on it′s a love thing, whoa Oh baby, It′s a love thing, yeah Oh, it′s a love thing, whoa Oh sugar, it′s a love thing No it ain′t about no diamond ring It′s a love thing, whoa Oh baby it′s a love thing, yeah It′s a love, it′s a love, it′s a love thing
Well I can′t believe I′m sittin′ here today Picking on my banjo with a big smile on my face Writin′ new words to an old school melody Hey there ain′t no doubt that God′s been good to me
Oh the sun is shinin′ on down in Tennessee And right now where I′m right where I wanna be I′ve never felt so loved, so peaceful and so free Hey there ain′t no doubt that God′s been good to me
Chorus: ′Cause he put me smack dab in the middle of Paradise In the heart of the city where my dreams have come alive And everything I have, and everything I see Is just another reminder that God′s been good to me
This golden road′s been long And sometimes I′ve lost my way I′ve been down some darkened detours Leanin′ heavy on my faith But where the devil had me chained Lord your love done set me free Hallelujah! God′s been good to me
I woke up early this morning around 4am With the moon shining bright as headlights on the interstate I pulled the covers over my head and tried to catch some sleep But thoughts of us kept keeping me awake Ever since you found yourself in someone else′s arms I′ve been tryin′ my best to get along But that′s OK There′s nothing left to say, but
Take your records, take your freedom Take your memories I don′t need′em Take your space and take your reasons But you′ll think of me And take your cat and leave my sweater ′Cause we have nothing left to weather In fact I′ll feel a whole lot better But you′ll think of me, you′ll think of me
I went out driving trying to clear my head I tried to sweep out all the ruins that my emotions left I guess I′m feeling just a little tired of this And all the baggage that seems to still exist It seems the only blessing I have left to my name Is not knowing what we could have been What we should have been So
Take your records, take your freedom Take your memories I don′t need′em Take your space and take your reasons But you′ll think of me And take your cat and leave my sweater ′Cause we have nothing left to weather In fact I′ll feel a whole lot better But you′ll think of me
Someday I′m gonna run across your mind Don′t worry, I′ll be fine I′m gonna be alright While you′re sleeping with your pride Wishing I could hold you tight I′ll be over you And on with my life
So take your records, take your freedom Take your memories I don′t need′em And take your cat and leave my sweater ′Cause we have nothing left to weather In fact I′ll feel a whole lot better But you′ll think of me
So take your records, take your freedom Take your memories I don′t need′em Take your space and all your reasons But you′ll think of me And take your cat and leave my sweater ′Cause we got nothing left to weather In fact I′ll feel a whole lot better But you′ll think of me, you′ll think of me, yeah
And you′re gonna think of me Oh someday baby, someday
So much for never makin′ the same mistake I can′t believe I′m here again So much for ever thinkin′ that I could change My good intentions still remain in chains
Chorus: She′s gotta be over me now Probably moved on with her life Found someone she knows she can believe God I would give anything if I could just go back again And be the man she needed me to be
I thought I was a hero I played him well He saves the day but not himself I acted out the lover My finest part Had all the lines but not the heart No look where we are
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Be the man that she could trust, who put her first Who tamed his demons, who healed her hurts In health and sickness, who helped her grow With no resentment, true repentance, God as my witness
(REPEAT CHORUS TWICE)
She needed me to be She needed me to be, oh Whoa, hallelujah Yeah, I could be that man she needed me, she needed me to be
I′m on a red dirt road winding up to a sky of blue And I left the blacktop back about a mile or two No more sittin′ at home leave the T.V. and the telephone far behind This life is killin′ us all, back roads are lookin′ mighty fine Oh, and...
I′d like to throw out this cellular And kick off these shop-shined shoes Leave the kids at your mama′s And take off to Timbuktu So give me two sets of mud-grip tracks Leadin′ off to way out back o′ yonder There′s no mountain I can′t climb To satisfy this need of mine to wander Oh, ′cause...
[Repeat Chorus]
There′s no desert I can′t cross No river too wide I can do what I want now ′Cause freedom′s finally mine
We all drink to forget Some of us more than most When reality gets too real And the fires of hell to close But I′m here to let you know that That you can make it through If you believe that someone is watchin′ over you
And call it an angel Call it a muse And call it karma that you′ve got comin′ to you What′s the difference What′s in name What matters most is never ever losin′ faith ′Cause it′s gonna be alright You′re not alone tonight
We all have our days When nothing goes as planned Not a soul in the world Seems to understand And for someone to talk to You′d give anything Well go on and cry out loud ′Cause someone′s listenin′
Yeah, and call it an angel Call it a muse And call it karma that you′ve got comin′ to you What′s the difference What′s in name What matters most is never ever losin′ faith ′Cause it′s gonna be alright You′re not alone tonight
Keep your faith alive You′re not the only one
Yeah, and call it an angel Call it a muse Call it karma that you′ve got comin′ to you What′s the difference What′s in name What matters most is never ever losin′ faith Yeah, you′re gonna be alright You′re not alone tonight
You come here lookin′ for sympathy Cause it′s not everything you thought it would be Don′t waste your time You can′t understand why it comes and goes The sudden storms, the highs and lows So you stand here cryin′ Girl get in line
CHORUS: What love is that way You′re waitin′ time pretending What love is that way When you walk through life expecting So much, so soon Love can only hurt you What love is that way What love is ever that way
The more you wish and the more you dream The more the reality never seems What it ought to be It′s never perfect as when it begins Time always seems to put an end To the fantasy, It seems to me
REPEAT CHORUS
So much, so soon, Love can only hurt you What love is that way What love is ever that way, What love is that way
Go if you wana go, stay if you wana stay My hearts not a game you can play with and out away Baby tryin′ to figure you out, could make a man go insane So just go if you wana go, stay if you wana stay...
Dream what you want to dream, be who you gotta be I never wana be the one who kept you from being free But girl I gotta know what you want, ′cause I′ve takin′ all I can take So just go if you wana go, stay if you wana stay...
Every time you decide, to spread your wings and fly You make the same mistake, and I can′t take anymore goodbyes So baby just go if you wana go, stay if you wana stay...
Every time you decide, to spread your wings and fly You make the same mistake, and I can′t take anymore goodbyes So baby just go if you wana go, stay if you wana stay...
I don′t wana lose everything our love has made But I don′t wana feel alone everytime you go away So just go if you wana go, stay if you wana stay...
Mmmm baby just go if you wana go, stay if you wana stay...
Hello blue stranger, sittin′ there all alone With your glass of sorrow, you seem so far from home Maybe you will let me, buy a round or two I′m a blue stranger too
Well, hello blue stranger, I haven′t seen your around But I know every reason, for leavin′ town We might know each other, before the night is through I′m a blue stranger too
And strangers fall in love, all the time All lovers were strangers once Just like us, a little unsure, chattin′ out hi′s
Well, hello blue stranger, will you take a chance Well I might be mistaken, but I see meaning in your glance Maybe this could be the start of something new I′m a blue stranger too
(Keith′s guitar solo)
And strangers fall in love, everyday All lovers were strangers once Just like us, a little unsure of our little ways
Well, hello blue stranger, sittin′ there all alone With your glass of sorrow, you seem so far from home Maybe you will let me, buy you a round or two I′m a blue stranger too
Hello blue stranger, Hello blue stranger Hello blue stranger.
Figaro, figaro Anytime that you want what you need Close your eyes and say my name Call on me and I′ll be there for you No matter what they say Rain, hail or shine I got my eyes right to the sky Waiting on your sign
Roll the dice and take a chance A chance on me cause you never can tell Where a little bitta faith might lead I got a U-shaped hole inside I swear it gets deeper by the day Flicking cigarettes out the window Going nowhere in this lonely rain
I need a faster car now A rocketship straight to the moon I need a faster way to show you How much I need you, baby
It′s a crime, it′s a sin It′s a damn shame but you′re the cause And you′re the cure of all my pain
There′s never been a better fool for you I can′t believe my pride Got me talking to a pillow In the middle of the night
I need a faster car now A rocketship straight to the moon I need a faster way to show you How much I need you, baby
I need a faster car now I′m a rocketman in love with you I need a faster way to show you How much ya drive me crazy Show you how much I need you, baby And I need you, baby And it′s alright now
Sounds real good now If I could be anywhere with anyone You know exactly where′d I′d be Under the covers waiting for the sun to rise Your head on the pillow next to me
Your feet propped up on that kitchen chair Morning papers scattered all around you Coffee brewing on the cast iron stove And the pleasure of just knowing that your mine
Well, I love the way you look Love the way you feel And the way you roll your eyes At the kisses that I steal Love the way you stare When you′re staring right at me I just love your company Oh, yes, I do
Arm in arm on some Spring sidewalk day Laughing just because it feels so right Wrapped up under the blankets all cozy by the fire As long as you′re here close enough to touch
Well, I love the way you look Love the way you feel And the way you roll your eyes At the kisses that I steal Love the way you stare When you′re staring right at me I just love your company Oh, yes, I do
[Spanish woman speaking here]
Well, I love the way you look Love the way you smell And I love your pretty eyes And the lies they never tell Love the way you stare When you′re staring right at me I just love your company Oh, yes, I do Oh, here we go now
You spun your web back a Sunday or two I ain′t never met nobody Like the likes of you You got me preachin′ the news You turned down my road and decided to stay And I took a shine to your hair And your hillbillly ways And how you kiss on my face I got a bone deep feelin′ You′re the start of the good ole days
[Chorus] Well I still remember You came by my trailer With chicken and some homemade wine The dogs got to barkin′ When we got the sparkin′ We almost set the house on fire Well I got a big heapin′ helpin′ Of the stuff I get a hankerin′ for But honey your homespun love Just keeps me comin′ back for more
I like the flamingos you stuck in your yard And I like the notions you stick in my head and my heart Yeah and how you fix on my car Well I reckon I′m lucky you′re everything I need so far
I hit the highway and I checked the time I see the sunrise and it makes me wanna change my mind Oh I got it bad I stopped for a coffee in a nowhere town A pretty waitress says "Hey what′s the frown Boy you got it bad" Well so many times you told me before If you don′t like it, well there′s the door This time I′ve gone for good and I got it bad
CHORUS I got it badder than a broken heart Badder then the devil′s smile And I can′t face bein′ apart I guess I′ll have to leave but meanwhile Oohh I got it bad
Moonlight on the water still looks the same Pretty girl beside me but I don′t know her name Guess I got it bad I′m too weak to say no, too lonely to care I′ll believe her if she says hey baby I got to love to spare Well tomorrow I′ll take it like a man Tonight I′m taking all I can This time I went for good and I got it bad
I can hear the neighbors They′re arguin′ again And there hasn′t been peace on our street Since who knows when I don′t mean to listen in But the shoutin′ is so loud I turn up the radio to drown it out And silently I say a little prayer
But for the grace of God go I I must′ve been born a lucky guy Heaven only knows how I′ve been blessed With the gift of you love And I look around and all I see Is your happiness embracing me Oh Lord I′d be lost But for the grace of God
I can see that old man He′s walking past our door And I′ve been told that he′s rich But he seems so poor ′Cause no one comes to call on him And his phone it never rings He wanders through his empty home Surrounnded by his things And silently I say a little prayer, yes I do
But for the grace of God go I I must′ve been born a lucky guy Heaven only knows how I′ve been blessed With the gift of you love And I look around and all I see Is your happiness embracing me Oh Lord I′d be lost But for the grace of God
I look around and all I see Is your happiness embracing me Oh Lord I′d be lost But for the grace of God Oh Lord I′d be lost
Oh Lord I′d be lost But for the grace of God Oh Lord I′d be lost But for the grace of God
Time stands still for no one I know this is true I′ve been stuck here waiting Then along came you And you gave me back The love I had The faith I′d lost The life I knew
Chorus: I wanna thank you for the love that you give me And the sun that you put in my sky You don′t know how much you′ve lifted me up But I feel so alive That I could fly I could fly, oh
There′s no way I could′ve made it this far Without you You came to me just when I needed someone to believe That I could make it through And you gave me back The love I had The faith I′d lost The life I knew
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Above the clouds Fly so high, never come down Just you and I, I′m so in love With you, with you And you gave me back The love I had The faith I′d lost The life I knew
I wanna thank you for the love that you give me And the sun that you put in my sky You don′t know how much you′ve lifted me up But I feel so alive
(REPEAT CHORUS)
And I could fly, I could fly, oh I wanna spread my wings Let me tell you Said I need your love, I need your love Stay with me baby Oh, I need your love, and I need your love Stay with me baby Oh, I need your love, I need your love Stay with me baby Yeah I need your love, and I need your love Stay with me honey baby, c′mon now stay C′mon now, yeah
You and me side by side walkin′ through the woods in the pale moonlight Oh yeah now and it feels so good
I heard the rumor that we′re callin′ it off And we won′t last too long But I got this feelin′ when I′m looking at you Baby, They couldn′t be more wrong They′ve been sayin′ it′s a shaky romance And they don′t give the two of us too much of a chance
[Chorus] But if the Grand Canyon is just some ditch Dorothy and Toto fought just some witch And if Babe Ruth was just a guy with a glove Then oooh baby this is just some love Oooh baby this is just some love
I speak my mind baby that′s the truth But you′ve got a temper too So when they see us start to fuss and fight I guess they think we′re through But if they′re judgin′ us by what they see Then they don′t have a clue about you and me
′Cause if the Rocky Mountains are just some hills Niagra Falls is just some water spills And if Humphrey Bogart was just some tough Then oooh baby this is just some love Oooh baby this is just some love
[Repeat Chorus]
Oooh baby this is just some love Oooh baby this is just some love
Well I ain′t proud of what I′m about to do All alone up here with you With the picture of your man Face down upon the night stand, so he can′t see And I don′t like running all the red lights here Every time the coast is clear Any time you need my lovin′ You know I′ll come running, faithfully
[Chorus] Cause he stays so busy with his money And you, you get so lonely when he′s gone And me, I′m just your temporary lover ′Til your blues are gone I′m the man of the house whenever he ain′t home
Now the statues on the side of that big gate They′re laughing as I drive away And I can′t keep from thinking Are they laughing at your old man or at me And the only part that I don′t like to play Is the part when I get up and go away I find it mighty hard Just keeping this old heart tucked away Cause he stays...
[Repeat Chorus]
I′m the man of the house When your other man ain′t home
I can feel your goodbye comin′ Like a storm up from the south The rain′ll splatter at the back door The wind′ll whistle ′round the house So it′s you and Howie Johnston Somebody told me at the store I guess I′d better get used To the idea of you Not around anymore
[Chorus] And so, I′m doin′ my best to prepare for the worst And I′d better get use to the hunger and thirst I gotta find me a potion To take for the pain And all you′ve got to lose Is my last name
I know he′s cute and he′s got money I ain′t no handsome fancy Dan In a way it′s sad and kinda funny You′ll be ok and I′ll be damned So I best be gettin′ ready For the bitter nights alone Sleepin′ on the couch Wake up starting out Livin′ life on my own
My grandma was a wise old soul Took me by the hand not long ago Said, "Son, what′s your hurry, boy slow it down Taste the wild honey, listen to the sound Of the wind that′s blowin′ through the trees Rivers flowin′ to the sea Yeah they′re all headin′ home just like you and me Life′s for livin′ child, can′t you see?"
These are the days we will remember These are the times that won′t come again The highest of flames become an ember And you gotta live ′em while you can
These are the days we will remember These are the days we will remember These are the days we will remember These are the days we will remember
So take ′em by the hand, they′re yours and mine Take ′em by the hand and live your life Take ′em by the hand don′t let ′em all fly by C′mon, C′mon now
Ooo days go by Yeah, just like a hand out the window wavin′ in the wind as the cars go by Days go by
The cards are stacking up against us These days our luck is running low It′s hard to explain but a little bit of rain Seems to follow us wherever we go
Black cat sittin′ on a ladder Broken mirror on the wall We′re not a bit superstitious No need to worry at all
′Cause when we can′t roll a seven And our last lucky penny is gone This world can be tough But I know when our love is this strong We can make a little luck of our own, luck of our own
The storm is only temporary But you and I are here to stay Baby can′t you see true love is all we need So just throw that rabbit′s foot away
′Cause when we can′t roll a seven And our last lucky penny is gone This world can be tough But I know when our love is this strong We can make a little luck of our own Oh we can make it baby
′Cause when we can′t roll a seven And our last lucky penny is gone This world can be tough But I know our love is this strong We can make a little luck of our own
We can make a little luck of our own Yeah, yeah Oooh we can make it baby Make a little luck of our own
You′re such a pretty little thing I wanna put a wedding ring on your finger Baby can′t you see that we were meant to be together Yeah the joinin′ of our hearts is written in the stars We′ve got a love made in heaven So baby take my hand I wanna be your man forever
Well I can′t think of anyone else it′s true All day long there′s no one on my mind but you And I have loved you since you were a little girl You mean everything to me and you′re all I′ll ever need in this world
You′re such a pretty little thing I wanna put a wedding ring on your finger Baby can′t you see that we were meant to be together Yeah the joinin′ of our hearts is written in the stars We got a love made in heaven So baby take my hand I wanna be your man forever
Every time I look into your eyes I see The one I want beside me for eternity You could make me the happiest man alive By settin′ up a date and takin′ my name for life
Ah you′re such a pretty little thing I wanna put a wedding ring on your finger Baby can′t you see that we were meant to be together Yeah the joinin′ of our hearts is written in the stars We got a love made in heaven So baby take my hand I wanna be your man forever You′re such a pretty little thing I wanna put a wedding ring on your finger Baby can′t you see that we were meant to be together Yeah the joinin′ of our hearts is written in the stars We got a love made in heaven So baby take my hand I wanna be your man forever
You brought that bottle home in a paper sack Drew the blinds and locked the doors And there′s nothing but empty there inside that glass So you pour a little more And there′s no one there to judge you At least that′s what you tell yourself, but
Chorus: Don′t you know Nobody drinks alone Every demon, every ghost From your past And every memory you′ve held back Follows you home Nobody drinks alone
You remember whiskey on your daddy′s breath So you always stick to wine And you scared your little brother half to death You just kept it all inside You can hear your mama cryin′ Only now she cries for you, and
Don′t you know Nobody drinks alone Every demon, every ghost From your past And every memory you′ve held back Follows you home Nobody drinks alone
Though you′re only Hey don′t you let that feelin′ fool ya
I′ve seen that darkness on the edge of town The sun come up and the rain fall down And I′ve been a fool, yeah I′ve been around
And when the world got too much for me I took off and left a memory Thinking I′d find something better for me somehow Oh but now
Whenever I run Instead of running into the blue I follow my heart And there in your arms Is where I find the love I need And the best is yet to come Baby you′re the one I run to
I used to quit when it got too tough Throw in my cards when I was down on my luck But baby you mean too much to me So now Whenever I run Instead of running into the blue I follow my heart And there in your arms Is where I find the love I need And the best is yet to come Baby you′re the one I run to
I never could stay in one place too long I never could stand that still Ah but you changed so much in me And now I know I will
I′m gonna stay where the love is right I′m so tired of being a bird in flight Good love takes work Ah but that′s alright That′s alright
Whenever I run Instead of running into the blue I follow my heart And there in your arms Is where I find the love I need And the best is yet to come You′re the only one
Instead of running into the blue I follow my heart And there in your arms That′s where I find the love I need And the best is yet to come Baby you′re the one I run to The one I run to The one I run to
I′m gonna be here for you baby I′ll be a man of my word Speak the language in a voice that you have never heard I wanna sleep with you forever And I wanna die in your arms In a cabin by a meadow where the wild bees swarm
And I′m gonna love you like nobody loves you And I′ll earn your trust making memories of us
I wanna honor your mother I wanna learn from your pa I wanna steal your attention like a bad outlaw I wanna stand out in a crowd for you A man among men I wanna make your world better than it′s ever been
And I′m gonna love you like nobody loves you And I′ll earn your trust making memories of us
We′ll follow the rainbow Wherever the four winds blow And there′ll be a new day Comin′ your way
I′m gonna be here for you from now on This you know somehow You′ve been stretched to the limits but it′s alright now And I′m gonna make you a promise If there′s life after this I′m gonna be there to meet you with a warm, wet kiss
And I′m gonna love you like nobody loves you And I′ll earn your trust making memories of us I′m gonna love you like nobody loves you And I′ll win your trust making memories of us
And so I wrote this song for you I think I know just what you′re going through Did you believe you′d never change Nothin ever stays the same
I know it′s hard holdin on Even harder trying to let it go And so you′re frozen like a stone But you are not alone
Every step I take I get a little less afraid Of giving in to love, love Let it out Believe me when I say It gets better every day Once you get used to the pain
What you hide inside I see There′s a scar that′s always gonna be There′s a past in everyone You can′t undo You can′t outrun
Every step I take I get a little less afraid Of giving in to love, love Let it out Believe me when I say It gets better every day Once you get used to the pain
Every step I take I get a little less afraid Of giving in to love, love Let it out Believe me when I say It gets better every day Once you get used to the pain
Well, there ain′t no strangers When you′re swinging a hammer side by side Oh, had a little setback Ain′t nothing gonna stop this Southern pride No, no
So let′s all pull together now boys Once again this town′s gonna make some noise We′ll be square dancing, toe tapping We′ll be clicking out heels to Cotton Eye Joe
The music laughter gonna raise the rafters A little boot sliding across the floor
Do a little hand holding, hay rolling Strolling with your honey by your side Dixie cups and paper plates Fiddle tunes and amazing grace Hallelujah, raise the barn tonight Sing along now, babe
Well, the Lord he was willing but the creek did rise up Lord have mercy the bossman don′t seem to care So it′s up to us to gather round, gather round
The stars are shining a little brighter than before It′s gonna come alive when we swing open the door
We′ll be square dancing, toe tapping We′ll be clicking out heels to Cotton Eye Joe The music laughter gonna raise the rafters A little boot sliding across the floor
Do a little hand holding, hay rolling Strolling with your honey by your side Dixie cups and paper plates Fiddle tunes and amazing grace Hallelujah, raise the barn tonight Yes, y′all (Cotton Eye Joe)
So heeve ho, let′s pull together now boys Once again this town′s gonna make some noise Everybody make some noise
We′ll be square dancing, toe tapping We′ll be clicking out heels to Cotton Eye Joe The music laughter gonna raise the rafters A little boot sliding across the floor
Do a little hand holding, hay rolling Strolling with your honey by your side Dixie cups and paper plates Fiddle tunes and amazing grace Hallelujah, raise the barn tonight
You know the cards are stacked against this As we surrender our defenses And I′ve torn down all my fences just for you And you feel it too What do we do Do we run or see it through The longer we′re together It just keeps gettin′ better And you hide your little love letters Around the house for me And it′s plain to see That you′ll always be all I′ll ever need The webs we spun Wove into one And left us tangled up in love You squeeze my hand I understand About a woman and a man I love the way you make me feel You got me tangled up in love The webs we spun Wove into one Left us tangled up in love
When I wake up in the morning light I pull on my jeans and I feel all right I pull my blue jeans on, I pull my old blue jeans on I pull my blue jeans on, I pull my old blue jeans on
Its the weekend, and I know that you′re free So pull on your jeans and come on out with me Oh cause I need to have you near me, I need to feel you close to me I need to have you near me, I need to feel you close to me
You and me, well go motorbike riding in the sun And the wind and the rain I got money in my pocket, I got a tiger in my tank And I′m king of the road again I′ll meet ya in the usual place You don′t need a thing except your pretty face, alright
I pull my blue jeans on, I pull my old blue jeans on I pull my blue jeans on, I pull my old blue jeans on Aw, here we go mama
You and me, well go motorbike riding in the sun And the wind and the rain I got money in my pocket, I got a tiger in my tank
And I′m king of the road again When I wake up in the morning light I pull on my jeans and I feel all right
Hey I pull my blue jeans on, I pull my old blue jeans on I pull my blue jeans on, I pull my old blue jeans on I pull my blue jeans on, I pull my old blue jeans on I pull my blue jeans on, I pull my old blue jeans on
Your smiles they don′t come easy Like they used to come before The awkwardness and boredom Is scattered out across the floor I can feel your love waxin′ and wanin′ And a quick look in your eyes needs no explainin′
I′m out on my own Livin′ alone
I′m an old reluctant gypsy I don′t like campin′ anymore And the dreams and disappointments Scatter out across the floor I′m nervous on this train I feel it derailin′ And I can read the letters that nobody′s mailin′ I′m out on my own Livin′ alone yeah
Somethin′ deep inside of me Must have died some time ago I haven′t called no place my home Since nineteen-ninety-four I′m out on my own
Thirty-somethin′ single And tired of runnin′ everywhere And I can wear a welcome out When I ain′t even there I′m nervous on this train I feel it derailin′ And I can read the letters that nobody′s mailin′ I′m out on my own Livin′ alone I′m livin′ alone And I got nowhere to go Look at me I′m out on my own I′m out on my own But it′s gonna be all right now It′s gonna be all right It′s gonna be all right Oh yes I know it and I know and I know it′s gonna be all right
I′m changing lands I′m talking on the phone I′m drivin′way too fast And the interstate′s jammed with Gunners like me afraid of coming in last But somewhere in the race we run We′re coming undone
Days go by I can feel ′em flying Like a hand out the window in the wind as the cars go by It′s all we′ve been given So you better start livin′ right now ′Cause days go by
Out on the roof just the other night I watched the world flash by Headlights, taillights running through a river of neon signs But somewhere in the rush I felt We′re losing ourselves
Days go by I can feel ′em flying Like a hand out the window in the wind as the cars go by It′s all we′ve been given So you better start livin′ right now ′Cause days go by
We think about tomorrow then it slips away We talk about forever but we′ve only got today
And the days go by I can feel ′em flying Like a band out the window in the wind as the cars go by It′s all we′ve been given So you better start livin′ right now ′Cause days go by
These days go by So take ′em by the hand They′re yours and mind Take ′em by the hand And live your life Take ′em by the hand Don′t let ′em all fly by Come on, come on now Don′t you know the days go by
I thought You knew, guess I assumed to much I don′t know how, but now wheir so far out of touch And I never planned, to so miss understand But what you needed, you never asked me to give And I swear as I live...
I thought you knew my heart was yours And that we were so together That we, would always be I don′t believe, you leavin′ me is the answer
I′m not askin′ you to let me rush back in and fail again I′m askin′ for one chance, not to assume So I can say and do all the things I thought you knew
So far wheir still so far From where we know we should be I′m searching for words And you haven′t heard
I thought you knew my heart was yours And that we were so together That we, would always be I don′t believe, you leavin′ me is the answer
I′m not askin′ you to let me rush back in and fail again I′m askin′ for one chance, not to assume So I can say and do all the things I thought you knew
I can see it in your eyes And feel it in your touch I know that you′re scared But you′ve never been this loved
It′s a long shot baby I know it′s true But if anyone can make it I′m bettin′ on me & you
Just keep on movin′ into me I know you′re gonna see The best is yet to come
Don′t fear it now, we′re going all the way That sun is shining on a brand new day It′s a long way down and it′s a leap of faith But we′re never giving up ′cause I know we got a once in a lifetime love
Everybody′s lookin′ for what we found Some waitin′ for the life and it never comes around So don′t hold back now just let go On all you′ve ever known You can put your hand in mine
Don′t fear it now, we′re going all the way That sun is shining on a brand new day It′s a long way down and it′s a leap of faith But we′re never giving up ′cause I know we got a once in a lifetime love
I close my eyes and I see you standin′ right there Sayin′ Well the first one′s born then a brother comes along And he′s got your smile I′ll be lookin′ back on the life we had Still by your side
So don′t fear it now, we′re going all the way That sun is shining on a brand new day It′s a long way down and it′s a leap of faith But we′re never giving up ′cause I know we got a once in a lifetime love
It′s killin′ me to write the word "goodbye" I′ve wadded up and tossed a thousand tries We both know the reason There ain′t nothing to explain But I know that my leavin′ Will spare us both the pain
[Chorus] Desiree I can′t hold you any longer Desiree you love his money more than me And the taxi′s at the gate I guess all that′s left to say Is in teardrops at the bottom of the page "I love you Desiree"
It′d be easier to leave if I were mad But it′s hard to lose the best you′ll ever have And to write this note to you Was the hardest thing to do But not as hard as bein′ a poor boy Who can′t afford a girl like you
[Repeat Chorus]
God, I love you Desiree But I just can′t take it anymore I won′t be around for your goodbye I won′t be around for your goodbye You love his money more than me I won′t be around for your goodbye You love his money more than me I won′t be around for your goodbye Oh you love his money, you love it more than me I was just a fool who couldn′t see That you love his money, you love it more than me
She believes in me like I′ve been trying to do And she′d think I′ve never seen the cold Ever since she came into my life I′ve been a better man
Run, run running, I was running scared Always looking for a place to leave Couldn′t seem to find where I belonged Til she took my hand
We can make this work out, baby I know it′s true I picture myself getting old with you And I think I got it right this time Oh, yeah
All of my life I′ve been looking for someone Who believes in love the way I do Know I made several big mistakes But girl I promise you
We can make this work out, baby I know that it′s true I picture myself getting old with you And I think I got it right this time
True believers always find each other and here we are Always knew that you were out there just waiting on me For me to find my way, find my way to your heart Oh, yeah
We can make it work out, baby I know it′s true Can picture myself getting old with you And I think I got it right this time
Yeah, after all the crazy days Made it through I can′t picture myself with no one but you
It never ceases to blow my mind It does it to me everytime Standing here looking at you It makes me wonder what he was up to Was he thinking about me When he thought about you
When God made woman He must′ve been proud He must′ve been crying aloud Or laughing out loud Must′ve felt like the first time Getting kissed by the sun When God made woman
It must′ve been the most beautiful day Looking down on all creation He took a river that winds and turns He took a fire that breathes and burns And put it all in place In the most precious way
When God made woman He must′ve been proud He must′ve been crying aloud Or laughing out loud Must′ve felt like the first time Getting kissed by the sun When God made woman
When God made woman He must′ve been proud He must′ve been crying aloud Or laughing out loud Must′ve felt like the first time Getting kissed by the sun When God made woman
Friday night and the moon is high I′m wide-awake just watchin′ you sleep And I promise you you′re gonna have More than just the things that you need We ain′t got much now, We′re just startin′ out But I know somehow paradise is comin′
Chorus: Someday baby, You and I are gonna be the ones Good luck′s gonna shine Someday baby you and I are gonna be the ones So hold on We′re headed for a better life
Oh now there′s a place for you and me Where we can dream as big as the sky I know it′s hard to see it now But baby someday we′re gonna fly This road we′re on, you know it might be long But my faith is strong It′s all that really matters
(REPEAT CHORUS)
So hold on, hold on C′mon baby, hold on
Yeah, we′re gonna have it all And ooh
(REPEAT CHORUS TWICE)
Oh, a better life Hey we′re gonna leave this all behind us baby, wait and see We′re headed for a better life, you and me We′re gonna break the chains that bind and, finally we′ll be free We′re gonna be the ones that have it all, you and me Just hold on tight now baby
It was about five til′ five on Friday We were all getting ready to go And the boss man started screaming And his veins began to show He said "You and you come with me ′Cause you′re gonna have to stay" My heart was thumping I was jumping I had to get away
[Chorus] Some days you gotta dance Live it up when you get the chance When the world doesn′t make no sense And you′re feeling just a little too tense Gotta loosen up those chains and dance
Well I was talking with my baby Over a small glass of tea When she asked a loaded question She said "How do you feel about me?" My mind was racin′ I was pacin′ But the words just wouldn′t come And there was only one thing left to do I feel it coming on
[Repeat Chorus]
Some days you gotta dance You gotta loosen up those chains and dance You gotta loosen up those chains and dance
Lately I′ve been noticing I say the same things he used to say And I even find myself acting the very same way I tap my fingers on the table To the rhythm in my soul And I jingle the car keys When I′m ready to go When I look in the mirror He′s right there in my eyes Starin′ back at me and I realize
The older I get The more I can see How much he loved my mother and my brother and me And he did the best that he could And I only hope when I have my own family That everyday I see A little more of my father in me
There were times I thought he was bein′ Just a little bit hard on me But now I understand he was makin′ me Become the man he knew that I could be In everything he ever did He always did with love And I′m proud today to say I′m his son When somebody says I hope I get to meet your dad I just smile and say you already have
The older I get The more I can see How much he loved my mother and my brother and me And he did the best that he could And I only hope when I have my own family That everyday I see A little more of my father in me
He′s in my eyes My heart, my soul My hands, my pride And when I feel alone
And I think I can′t go on I hear him sayin′ "Son you′ll be alright" Everything′s gonna be alright" Yes it is
The older I get The more I can see That he loved my mother and my brother and me And he did the best that he could And I only hope when I have my own family That everyday I see Oh I hope I see I hope everyday I see A little more of my father in me
A little more of my father in me I hope everyday I see in me In me In me I hope everyday I see
The first time I looked in your eyes I knew that I would do anything for you The first time you touched my face I felt what I never felt with anyone else I wanna give back what you′ve given to me & I wanna witness all of your dreams Now that you′ve shown me who I really am I wanna be more than just your man
I wanna be the wind that fills your sails & be the hand that lifts your veil be the moon that moves your tide the sun comin up in your eyes be the wheel that never rusts be the spark that lights you up all that you′ve been dreaming of & more so much more I wanna be your everything
When you wake up I′ll be the first thing you see & when it gets dark you can reach out to me I′ll cherish your words & I′ll finish your thoughts & I′ll be your compass baby when you get lost
I wanna be the wind that fills your sails & be the hand that lifts your veil be the moon that moves your tide the sun comin up in your eyes be the wheel that never rusts be the spark that lights you up all that you′ve been dreaming of & more so much more I wanna be your everything
I′ll be the wheel that never rusts be the spark that lights you up all that you′ve been dreaming of & more so much more I wanna be your everything
I wanna be your everything I wanna be your everything
I can hear the neighbors They′re arguin′ again And there hasn′t been peace on our street Since who knows when I don′t mean to listen in But the shoutin′ is so loud I turn up the radio to drown it out And silently I say a little prayer
But for the grace of God go I I must′ve been born a lucky guy Heaven only knows how I′ve been blessed With the gift of you love And I look around and all I see Is your happiness embracing me Oh Lord I′d be lost But for the grace of God
I can see that old man He′s walking past our door And I′ve been told that he′s rich But he seems so poor ′Cause no one comes to call on him And his phone it never rings He wanders through his empty home Surrounnded by his things And silently I say a little prayer, yes I do
But for the grace of God go I I must′ve been born a lucky guy Heaven only knows how I′ve been blessed With the gift of you love And I look around and all I see Is your happiness embracing me Oh Lord I′d be lost But for the grace of God
I look around and all I see Is your happiness embracing me Oh Lord I′d be lost But for the grace of God Oh Lord I′d be lost
Oh Lord I′d be lost But for the grace of God Oh Lord I′d be lost But for the grace of God
There was a world outside my door I wasn′t in touch with anymore There was a way I used to feel I knew what was and wasn′t real
You built a bridge, I tore it down I felt safe on shaky ground And I was a master of despair Making believe I didn′t care
I shouldn′t be standing here today After all the crazy things I′ve done I′m ready to fall and that′s OK I ran as far as I could run You won
Out of a world turned upside down It took some time to come around Out of a dream you made me whole Yes you did You lit a fire down in my soul
I shouldn′t be standing here today After all the crazy things I′ve done I′m ready to fall and that′s OK I ran as far as I could run You won
I shouldn′t be standing here today After all the crazy things I′ve done I′m ready to fall and that′s OK I ran as far as I could run You won And you won
I′m ready to fall I thought I knew what I was doing I thought I was in control I thought nobody could slow me down But what did I know I was just a kid, a motherless child No one to watch over me I was runnin′ wild Free of all responsibility ′til my life And my love for myself caught up with me Yeah, it caught up with me And now I′m (ready to fall), yes I am So ready
To kiss and tell It′s just not my style. But the night is young, And it′s been a while. And she broke my heart, Broke it right in two. And it′s fixing time, But I′m feeling like I′m finally ready to Find, find somebody new. I wanna kiss a girl, I wanna hold her tight, And maybe make a little magic in the moonlight. Don′t wanna go too far Just to take it slow, But I shouldn′t be lonely in this big ol′ world. I wanna kiss a girl.
It′s that moment when You start closing in. First you′re holding back, Then surrendering. It can start a fire, Light up the sky. Such a simple thing, Do you wanna try? Are you ready to Say goodbye To all these blues? I wanna kiss a girl, I wanna hold her tight, And maybe make a little magic in the moonlight. Don′t wanna go too far Just to take it slow, But I shouldn′t be lonely in this big ol′ world. I wanna kiss a girl.
′Cause, baby, tonight It could turn into the rest of our lives. Oh yeah. Are you ready? (Are you ready?) Are you ready (Are you ready) To cross that yellow line? Put your lips on mine. Put your lips on mine, baby.
Do you wanna try? Are you ready to Say goodbye To all these blues?
I wanna kiss a girl, I wanna hold her tight, And maybe make a little magic, baby. Don′t wanna go too far Just to take it slow, I don′t want to be lonely, I shouldn′t be lonely. I wanna kiss a girl, I wanna hold her tight, And maybe make a little magic in the moonlight. Don′t wanna go too far Just to take it slow, But I shouldn′t be lonely in this big ol′ world. I wanna kiss a girl.
I said I wanna kiss a girl. Whoa-ho whoa-ho I wanna kiss a girl. I wanna hold her tight, I wanna make a little magic Out under the moonlight.

You said you needed your space I wasn′t where you wanted to be I didn′t stand in your way I only want you to be happy And so surprised am I to see you here tonight
Well, can′t you see that for worse or for better We′re better together Please, just come back home And don′t say that you′re sorry And I won′t say I told you so
Sometimes in our lives We get to where we wonder if The long road that we′re on Is heading in the same direction When it comes to you and me We′re right where I know we should be
Oh, can′t you see that for worse or for better We′re better together Please, just come back home And don′t say that you′re sorry And I won′t say I told you so
Sometimes it′s like we′re deep in nothing but love And the slightest thing can grow so foolishly Please
Oh, can′t you see that for worse or for better We′re better together Please, just come back home And don′t say that you′re sorry And I won′t say I told you so But I told you so Should have known better Than to leave me, baby Should have known better
I′m livin′ in a world that won′t stop pullin′ on me I′m not complaining but it′s true It′s like I owe my time to everyone else ′Cause that′s all I seem to do
You might not notice but I need a good friend Someone to talk to when I′m down, down, down There′s so much on my mind that I want to get out But there′s no one around
Sometimes I can′t help thinkin′ what about me Some days go by that I don′t even see Yeah I′m doing everything right and I can′t break free Oh is this the way it′s always gonna be What about me
Well I′m dreamin′ I′m on a highway with the windows down I′m burnin′ up the road at my own speed But I′m stuck here goin′ nowhere in this traffic jam And there′s a woman with her kids in the car next to me And I swear she′s singin′
Sometimes I can′t help thinkin′ what about me Some days go by that I don′t even see Yeah I′m doing everything right and I can′t break free Is this the way it′s always gonna be Hey, what about me
Oh, sometimes I can′t help thinkin′ what about me Some days go by that I don′t even see I′m doing everything right and I can′t break free Oh is this the way it′s always gonna be What about me
Winter′s weighin on your shoulders It′s hangin around a little too long And I can see it in your eyes You′ve taken on a load that′s just too strong Oh but let me get down to the heart of the matter Baby if you want I can make it better now
When the sun is hard to find When it′s rainin in your eyes When the shadows block those pretty little blue skies living inside you When the fallin of your tears, makes a candle disappear When you just can′t see the light Baby I′ll find a way to shine I′ll find a way to shine
Everybody′s got a cross to carry Everybody′s got a story they can tell Ya know you′re not the only one counting on a quarter & wishin well Woah don′t you sit there with your heart under lock & key Gimmie one chance baby, I can set you free
When the sun is hard to find When it′s rainin in your eyes When the shadows block those pretty little blue skies living inside you When the fallin of your tears, makes a candle disappear When you just can′t see the light Baby I′ll find a way to shine I′ll find a way to shine
Sometimes in this life good luck don′t shine like it suppose to do When there′s no one you can trust And they just keep on givin up on you Baby don′t ya know that I won′t ever let ya down Come on now
[Guitar solo]
Oh don′t sit there with your heart under lock & key Just gimmie one chance and baby I can set you free
When the sun is hard to find When it′s rainin in your eyes And the shadows block those pretty little blue skies living inside you When the fallin of your tears, makes a candle disappear And you just can′t see the light Baby I′ll find a way to shine I′ll find a way to shine Find a way to shine Find a way to shine You know I′ll find a way
Lord I fell for her smile And she loved me for a while Then she said good-bye gotta go Left me standing on the side of the road Now she′s gone and I′m a memory in her past And the long and short of it some things never last
Chorus: Oh because summers come, summers go I′ll keep walking down this road It′s alright and it′s okay I′ll live to love another day I′ll live to love another day
Lord I′m out here again With my back to the wind The warm sun that′s sinking low Is gonna leave me out in the cold But the long and short of it some things never last And if that goes for the good It must go for the bad
(REPEAT CHORUS)
If I fall down I′m not ashamed I always get back up again But I′ll be fine ′till the right one comes to save me, save me, save me
Lord I fell for her smile And she loved me for a while And someday she′s gonna wish She hadn′t left me here like this
(REPEAT CHOURUS)
I′ll live to love another day I′ll live to love another day I′ll live to love another day
