Darius Rucker - Come back song

I woke up again this morning
And wouldn't you know it... pouring rain
I went and burned a pot of coffee
And like that 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
Now 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 back, 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

We all sang na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na, yeah

Come on now

This is my my bad, come back song

Darius Rucker - Be wary of a woman

If you're a man like me who is good at leavin'
If you like your space and you love your freedom
Don't see yourself as ever settlin' down
Or your whole world bein' tossed around

Be wary of a woman, a woman so fine
Don't wanna 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 doin'
You're outta control, forget about leavin', your heart won't go
If you 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 cryin'
Make you wanna live when you feel like dyin'
So if you like livin' in the dark
Just walk away, you're gonna lose your heart

Be wary of a woman, a woman so fine
Don't wanna 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 doin'
You're outta control, forget about leavin', your heart won't go
If you don't like that you better run and hide
And be wary of a woman, 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

Be wary of a woman, a woman so fine
Don't wanna change you, who 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 doin'
You're outta control, forget about leavin', your heart won't go
If you 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, a woman like mine

Darius Rucker - Alright

Alright, alright
Yeah, it's alright, alright

And I don't need 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 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

Darius Rucker - All i want

Don't act surprised, it ain't like you didn't know
It's been like a long time coming and it's time for me to go
Tryin' 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

So you can have the money, you can have the house
Take the Cadillac and that boat out back
And ugly pink and yellow couch
You can have every penny that I will 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
Girl all I need you to leave me is alone

Thompson Square - Who loves who more

A little house
A solid roof
Where our world is almost trouble proof
But I'm heading off
To the reason I gotta leave you waving goodbye
It's a good job, good pay
But a long run in a rat race
Working overtime
In the grit and grime
I just can't wait to get back
To where the issue is

[CHORUS:]
Who loves who more
You say you do
I say I do
You say that's true
But baby who's keeping score
Cause I win and you win
When it's who loves who more

The whistle blows
I hit the road
Stop along the way to buy roses
I can hardly wait
Til' the minute I can walk it in
And see you smile
Back at home you're cooking up
Something that you know I love
Baby pour the wine
And I'll hit the lights
Then you and me'll get tangled in a heated little battle of

[CHORUS]

More than I do baby
I'm loving the way we go back and forth
And around and
Around

[CHORUS]

Who loves who
Who loves who

(You say you do and I say I do and you say that's true but baby
A little house, solid roof
The worlds almost trouble proof)

Who loves who
Who loves who
Who loves who

Thompson Square - One of those days

No cash in my pocket
No clothes in my closet
Can't get my hair to do a dang thing
The damn dogs barkin'
The car ain't startin'
Why's it always raining on my parade

[CHORUS]
Its one of those days
One of those days
One of those days
When nothing goes right
One of those days
One of those days
One of those days
When your hatin' life
Its one of those days

He said don't worry about the dishes
I'm going to take you fishin'
Kissin' all night down on the creek bank
A little skinny dippin'
Some moonshine sippin'
Come on baby tell me now what do you think

[CHORUS 2]
Its one of those days
One of those days
One of those days
When everything's right
One of those days
One of those days
One of those days
When your lovin' life
Its one of those days

Now we're hopping in the truck
The radio cranked up
We can't get there fast enough
Cause its one of those days
One of those Days
One of those days

[CHORUS 2]

Yeah it's one of those days

Thompson Square - Let's fight

Baby, you and me been getting along for way too long
Life's been a bed of roses and sweet, sweet song
I know I should not complain, this is gonna sound insane, but

Let's fight, let's cuss, get mad, throw stuff
Maybe call each other names
Slam doors, break glass, I'll leave, come back
And I'll take all the blame

Let's scream, let's shout
Make up, make out
Baby, just for tonight
Let's fight

You might think that I might think you've lost your mind
A love like the one we've got is so hard to find
But I miss those crazy nights too
I tend to agree with you

Let's fight, let's cuss, get mad, throw stuff
Maybe call each other names
Slam doors, break glass, I'll leave, come back
And I'll take all the blame

Let's scream, let's shout
Make up, make out
Baby, just for tonight
Let's fight, baby let's fight

Don't wanna do what we always do
Five o'clock dinner, six o'clock news
Baby, roll up your sleeves, and put up your dukes

Let's fight
Baby, let's fight
(Baby, let's fight)

Let's fight, let's cuss, get mad, throw stuff
Maybe call each other names
Slam doors, break glass, I'll leave, come back
And I'll take all the blame

Let's scream, let's shout
Make up, make out
Baby, just for tonight
Let's fight

Baby, let's fight
(Scream and shout make up, make out)
Baby, let's fight
(Slam doors, break glass, I'll leave, come back)
Baby, let's fight

Thompson Square - If it takes all night

Words fly like bullets
Each one aimed straight for the heart
And there's no take backs
No no no once they start
Let's lay down our pride
Put our anger aside
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right

[CHORUS]
If it takes
If it takes all night
If that's what it takes
To make this thing right
Let's take our time
If it takes all night

I just wanna hold you
And kiss you until we forget
It sounds good to me
Why don't we put this thing to bed
I'll fall into you
You'll fall into me
Oh lets make love till we lose all our strength

[CHORUS]

I'll fall into you
You'll fall into me
Oh lets make love till we lose all our strength

[CHORUS x2]

Thompson Square - I got you

A car's got gasoline to run, down the road
A crop's got rain, dirt and sun, to make 'em grow
A song's got rhyme, a clock's got time
You got me and baby

[Chorus]
I got you
Yea you're it, the missing piece that makes me fit
I got you, the breath I breathe, and there ain't nothing else I need
Baby I got you,
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

I don't need a big ole house, full of stuff
What my arms are wrapped around, that's enough
Your morning smile, your kiss goodnight
And everything's alright

[Repeat Chorus]

When the right goes wrong
When I'm scared to death and got nothing left to lean on

I got you
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah I do
Baby I got you
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah you got me to

[Repeat Chorus]

Yeah baby
I got you
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Baby I got you
Baby I got you

Thompson Square - I don't wanna miss you

Perfume on your pillow case
That 8x10 of your sweet face
Gives me a fix but can't replace you being here.
The sun goes down and up again
It's getting harder to pretend this loneliness ain't settin' in
I guess what I'm saying is,

I don't wanna miss you don't wanna get used to being by myself.
I don't wanna miss you. I don't wanna give my heart to no one else.
I don't wanna miss you.

I told you that I need space but I wanted you to make me stay
I prayed don't let me drive away don't say goodbye
These hotel walls keep closing in
I let your phone ring once and then I slam my phone back down again as I was crying

I don't wanna miss you don't wanna get used to being by myself.
I don't wanna miss you. I don't wanna give my heart to no one else.
I don't wanna miss you.

I don't wanna miss you. Don't wanna get used to being by myself.
I don't wanna miss you. I don't wanna give my heart to no one else.
I don't wanna miss you. I don't wanna get used to being by myself.
I don't wanna miss you. I don't wanna give my heart to no one else.
I don't wanna give my heart to no one else.
I don't wanna miss you.

Perfume on your pillow case
That 8x10 of your sweet face
Gives me a fix but can't replace you baby.

Thompson Square - Glass

Trying to live and love,
With a heart that can’t be broken,
Is like trying to see the light with eyes that can’t be opened.
Yeah, we both carry baggage,
We picked up on our way, so if you love me do it gently,
And I will do the same.

We may shine, we may shatter,
We may be picking up the pieces here on after,
We are fragile, we are human,
We are shaped by the light we let through us,
We break fast, cause we are glass.
Cause we are glass.

I’ll let you look inside me, through the stains and through the ??
And in the darkness of this moment,
You see the good in that.
But try not to judge me, cause we’ve walked down different paths,
But ?? together, so I won’t take that back.

We may shine, we may shatter,
We may be picking up the pieces here on after,
We are fragile, we are human,
We are shaped by the light we let through us,
We break fast, cause we are glass.

We might be all in water, this could be a big mistake,
We might burn like gasoline and fire,
It’s a chance we’ll have to take.

We may shine, we may shatter,
We may be picking up the pieces here on after,
We are fragile, we are human,
And we are shaped by the light we let through us,
We break fast, cause we are glass.
We are glass.

Thompson Square - Getaway car

What if I was Jesse James
Or had one of them outlaw names
Could you handle my Wild West ways
Living on the run

What if we were Bonnie and Clyde
With Tommie guns running from the blue lights
And loving living on the wild side
Just for fun

Would you drive my getaway car
Chasing dreams like a couple young hearts
Hiding out underneath the stars
Would you drive my getaway car
Would you drive my getaway car

This town's just a little black dot
A quiet place that time forgot
A one light at a 4 way stop
On a 2-lane road

What if we hit the gas
Run away and never look back
Hey whatcha think about a fall like that
Baby I wanna know

Would you drive my getaway car
Chasing dreams like a couple young hearts
Hiding out underneath the stars
Would you drive my getaway car
Would you drive my getaway car

Would you drive my
Would you drive my
Would you drive my getaway car
Chasing dreams like a couple young hearts
Hiding out underneath the stars
Would you drive my getaway car
Would you drive my getaway car

Thompson Square - As bad as it gets

You always make us late
Messing with your make-up
And it's a big debate
If you think you're pretty enough

You laugh at all your jokes
When nobody else does
You're always sneaking smokes
And leaving the seat up

You know, you know, you know you drive me crazy
But we're gonna make it, that's a pretty safe bet
You know, you know, you know I love you baby
That's why we ain't kill each other yet
I guess we got it good
I guess we got it good
If that's as bad as it gets

Your closet is full of shoes
And clothes you never wear
Two hundred dollar dues
You're still cursing your hair

I hate your poker nights
Hanging here with all your buddies
And morning's walking 'round the house
In nothing but your undies

You know, you know, you know you drive me crazy
But we're gonna make it, that's a pretty safe bet
You know, you know, you know I love you baby
That's why we ain't kill each other yet
I guess we got it good
I guess we got it good
If that's as bad as it gets

You love shopping
I hate shopping
I know you go 'cause it makes me smile
And when we get home, yeah when we get home
You know I know you're gonna drive me wild

Baby, baby, baby
You know, you know, you know you drive me crazy
But we're gonna make it, that's a pretty safe bet
You know, you know, you know I love you baby
That's why we ain't kill each other yet
I guess we got it good
I guess we got it good
I guess we got it good
If that's as bad as it gets
If that's as bad as it gets
Guess we got it good
Guess we got it good

Thompson Square - Are you gonna kiss me or not

We were sittin' up there on your momma's roof
Talkin' 'bout everything under the moon
With the smell of honeysuckle and your perfume
All I could think about was my next move

Oh, but you were so shy, so was I
Maybe that's why it was so hard to believe
When you smiled and said to me
"Are you gonna kiss me or not?

Are we gonna do this or what?
I think you know I like you a lot
But you're 'bout to miss your shot
Are you gonna kiss me or not?"

It was the best dang kiss that I ever had
Except for that long one after that
And I knew if I wanted this thing to last
Sooner or later I'd have to ask for your hand

So I took a chance
Bought a wedding band and I got down on one knee
And you smiled and said to me
"Are you gonna kiss me or not?

Are we gonna do this or what?
I think you know I love you a lot
I think we've got a real good shot
Are you gonna kiss me or not?"

So, we planned it all out for the middle of June
From the wedding cake to the honeymoon
And your momma cried
When you walked down the aisle

When the preacher man said, "Say I do"
I did and you did too, then I lifted that veil
And saw your pretty smile and I said
"Are you gonna kiss me or not?

Are we gonna do this or what?
Look at all the love that we got
It ain't never gonna stop
Are you gonna kiss me or not?"

Yeah baby, I love you a lot
I really think we've got a shot
Are you gonna kiss me or not?

Thompson Square - All the way

I love you
You love me
It's cut and dry
The way it's supposed to be
So don't
Shut me outside
We got one chance
And it's tonight

[CHORUS]
I'd bare my soul
Get on my knees
So give me you
I'll give you me
Let's take it
Take it
All the way

What we feel
When we kiss
Some search a lifetime
And don't find a fire like this
So take my hair
Darling let it down
And let our hearts
Be the only sound

[CHORUS]

I want the sun
And I'll take the rain
Just to feel your hand upon my face
You'll never want
No you'll never need
Cause in your eyes
My life I see

[CHORUS]

Let's take it all the way

I love you
You love me
It's cut and dry
The way it's supposed to be

Craig Morgan - Everywhere i go

I walk around the block
To try to get you off my mind
I turn the corner, look who's there
Just like I remember pretty as a picture
And I was just beginning not to care
Standing in the rain I stopped to stare

'Cause everywhere I go, you're goin' my way
In the dark of night, in the light of day
I can't run and I can't hide
There just ain't no place
'Cause everywhere I go, you're goin' my way

Sittin' at the table
I sense you behind me
Even though I know you're not really here
Climbin' into bed you slide in beside me
I feel my eyes well up in tears
Oh I can't make your memory disappear

'Cause everywhere I go, you're goin' my way
In the dark of night, in the light of day
I can't run and I can't hide
There just ain't no place
'Cause everywhere I go, you're goin' my way

I can learn to live without you
I wouldn't even dream about you
If you'd only set me free

'Cause everywhere I go, you're goin' my way
In the dark of night, in the light of day
I can't run and I can't hide
There just ain't no place
'Cause everywhere I go, you're goin' my way

Everywhere I go

I walk around the block
To try to get you off my mind

Craig Morgan - Every red light

That secondhand junkyard heap
Was freedom with two bucket seats
With two grand on the windshield in shoe polish

I had a stash of summer cash
From cleanin' pools and cuttin' grass
Gave the man that coffee can and I bought it

From the moment that I turned the key
My right foot was heavy
From a mile away folks could hear me
Leanin' on that Chevy

Slidin' sideways through the town square
Peelin' out, Bruce Springsteen turned up too loud
Playin' air guitar, drummin' on the dash
Only brakin' for the badge

Had the man in blue burnin' through
Tickets by the pound
Yeah, I paid for every red light
In my hometown

I still remember Jessie Lynn
Her sweet perfume and her poured in
Those faded jeans that always fit just right

Steamin' windows up on the riverbank
Had to get that V-8 cranked
To have her on the front porch by midnight

Catchin' air on railroad tracks
Detroit horses breathin'
Peelin' paint off of city hall
Fuzz buster screamin'

Slidin' sideways through the town square
Peelin' out Lynyrd Skynyrd turned up too loud
Playin' air guitar, drummin' on the dash
Only brakin' for the badge

Had the man in blue burnin' through
Tickets by the pound
Yeah, I paid for every red light
In my hometown

I burned up a hundred tires
Turnin' blacktop into gravel
Wore out my daddy's patience
And the judge's gavel

Slidin' sideways through the town square
Peelin' out, I can't drive 55 [Incomprehensible]
Playin' air guitar, drummin' on the dash
Only brakin' for the badge

Had the man in blue burnin' through
Tickets by the pound
Yeah, I paid for every red light
In my hometown

Craig Morgan - Every friday afternoon

She called me up this morning
Said there's something you should know
There's a job back home in Boston
And I think I'm gonna go
My parents are in Cambridge
And I've got some old friends there
And I know you think this isn't fair

And the tears started falling
There was nothing I could say
Even if I fight it someone loses either way
Oh it might as well be China or the dark side of the moon
There's no way I can be there every Friday afternoon

I have him every weekend, he's got his own room here
He's all that's kept me going these last three years
There's little league in Boston, oh but who will coach his team
How's he gonna grow up without me

And the tears started falling
There was nothing I could say
Even if I fight it someone loses either way
Oh it might as well be China or the dark side of the moon
There's no way I can be there every Friday afternoon

What about Christmas, if I can't get off of work
What about his birthday, if I'm not there he'll be hurt
And I know the day is coming when she'll find someone new
But he'll never love him like I do
Well it might as well be China or the dark side of the moon
There's no way I can be there every Friday afternoon

Craig Morgan - Ev'rything's a thing

Hit the snooze when the 'larm clock rings
Layin' there doin' that sleepy head thing
There's a bird out my window spreadin' his wings
Cheap chirp doin' that sing in'
Thing I do when I first get up is the coffee thing in my favorite cup
Or two gets me goin' got things to do
Let me tell you a thing or two

Ev'rything's a thing if you know what I mean
You can't do nothin' 'cause there's no such thing
Some things are big, some things are small
Some mean a lot, some nothin' at all
It's all laid out in the scheme of things
No matter what it is
Ev'rything's a thing

Off to work in my old Mustang
Doin' that bumper to bumper thing
Up ahead a-ring-a-ling-ding-ding
Some guy's doin' that cell phone
Thing is the light turns green and he ain't doin' that drivin' thing
And the thing is about all this, that talkin' thing and drivin' don't mix

Ev'rything's a thing if you know what I mean
You can't do nothin' 'cause there's no such thing
Some things are big, some things are small
Some mean a lot, some nothin' at all
It's all laid out in the scheme of things
No matter what it is
Ev'rything's a thing

If you think this song ain't worth hummin'
You got another thing... comin'

Ev'rything's a thing if you know what I mean
You can't do nothin' 'cause there's no such thing
Some things are big, some things are small
Some mean a lot, some nothin' at all
It's all laid out in the scheme of things
No matter what it is
Ev'rything's a thing

Ev'rything's a thing
Ev'rything's a thing

Craig Morgan - Cowboy and clown

As he climbed in the chute, the crowd held it's breath:
He was seconds from glory or moments from death.
They knew with this bull, it could go either way.
He said: "Let her go boys." and prayed

He hung on for eight but he couldn't get loose:
That's when a clown they call Crazy came to his rescue.
When the dust finally settled, they both walked away.
Yeah, they became best of friends that day.

The cowboy an' clown, close as two brothers.
Chips up or down, they could count on each other.
Buckles an' beers, winnin' an' losin':
Laughter an' tears, broken hearts an' bruises.
They lived for the next final round:
The cowboy an' clown.

From Denver to Dallas, to the Calgary Stampede:
They took all those towns, an' a few in between.
But it ended one night, in a West Texas town:
The bulls either got faster, or ol' Crazy slowed down.

Five hundred pick-ups, lights on, drivin' slow.
A tent on the hill at the end of the road.
When the last Bible closed, one cowboy stood.
He said: "Let her go boys" and prayed

The cowboy an' clown, close as two brothers.
Chips up or down, they could count on each other.
Buckles an' beers, winnin' an' losin':
Laughter an' tears, broken hearts an' bruises.
They lived for the next final round:
The cowboy an' clown.

Craig Morgan - Blame me

She's pony-tailed an' she's halter topped:
Her bumper-sticker says: "I hate hip-hop."
With a southern drawl, she says: "Howdy, y'all,"
And her hands ain't afraid of dirt.
He's proud of his old truck:
He spray painted over dents and rust.
The motor smokes, it's got four bald tires,
But the radio works.
Raised on the Good Book and our country songs,
Ridin' down back roads an' singin' along:

So blame me for the way they are,
Their love of the fiddle and the steel guitar.
Blame me for their cowboy hats,
Roper boots, Wrangler jeans, and rifle racks.
If you wanna point a finger at somebody,
For the way they believe,
Blame me.

They were kids when Hag and me came to town:
All eyes and ears: look at 'em now.
Center stage on the Grand Ole Opry,
On a Saturday night.
Sing of fishin' and the Lord above,
Fallin' in and out of love.
From Aunt Bea to Uncle Sam,
And that American Pie.
From big cities to the little towns
Were hard-core country inside and out.

So blame me for the way they are,
Their love of the fiddle and the steel guitar.
Blame me for their cowboy hats,
Roper boots, Wrangler jeans, and rifle racks.
If you wanna point a finger at somebody,
For the way they believe,
Blame me.

Blame me for the way they are,
Their love of the fiddle and the steel guitar.
Blame me for their cowboy hats,
Roper boots, Wrangler jeans, and rifle racks.
If you wanna point a finger at somebody,
For the way they believe,
Blame me.
Blame me.
Blame me, yeah.

Craig Morgan - Baby i got you

I've had big dreams come true and I believe in
Angels although I can't see them
They're watching over everything I do
Ain't no easy street around the bend on my road
No pot of gold at the end of my rainbow
But I don't mind cause baby I got you

Chorus:
The rain keeps the flowers from dyin'
The sun lights the world when it shines
The midnight sky has a blanket of stars and a moon
And baby I got you

I can't imagine one day without you in it
Life alone just wouldn't be worth livin'
Love would be a wish that never came true
Lord knows I've got more than I deserve
But I don't question the prayer that I've had ansered
I did something right cause
Baby I got you

Chorus x 2

Craig Morgan - Always be mine

Oh the first time that we ever danced together
You kissed me and I froze right where I stood
It felt just like that night could go on forever
That's the very moment my heart thought you would
Always Be, Always Be Mine
Always Be, Always Be Mine

Remember when we drove all night down to Daytona
I don't even think we ever saw the beach
We spent half our weeks vacation in a hotel room
And that might not be your favorite memory
But it will Always Be, Always Be Mine
Always Be, Always Be Mine

Oh I know we said we don't belong together
But if by chance you ever change your mind
And you need two arms still dying to hold you
It will always Be, Always Be Mine

I still keep your picture hanging in the hallway
And all the letters in the bottom of the drawer
I still believe for every one there's only one true love
And I realize that I'll never be yours
But you'll Always Be, Always Be Mine
Always Be, Always Be Mine
Yes you'll Always Be, Always Be Mine
Always Be, Always Be Mine

Craig Morgan - Almost home

He had plastic bags wrapped 'round his shoes
He was covered with the evening news
Had a pair of old wool socks on his hands
The bank sign was flashing 5 below
It was freezing rain and spittin' snow
He was curled up behind some garbage cans
I was afraid that he was dead
I gave him a gentle shake
When he opened up his eyes
I said, "Old man are you ok?"

He said,"I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree
I was runnin' from some honey bees
Drip dryin' in the summer breeze
After jumpin' into Calico creek
I was walkin' down an old dirt road
Past a field of hay that had just been mowed
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
'Cause I was almost home"

He said "I was just comin' round the barn
'Bout the time you grabbed my arm
When I heard Momma holler, "Son hurry up"
I was close enough for my old nose
To smell fresh cobbler on the stove
And I saw daddy loadin' up the truck
Cane poles on the tailgate
Bobbers blowin' in the wind
Since July of '55
That's as close as I've been"

He said,"I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree
I was runnin' from some honey bees
Drip dryin' in the summer breeze
After jumpin' into Calico creek
I was walkin' down an old dirt road
Past a field of hay that had just been mowed
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
'Cause I was almost home"

I said,"Old man you're gonna freeze to death
Let me drive you to the mission"
He said,"Boy if you'd left me alone
Right now I'd be fishin'"

He said,"I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree
I was runnin' from some honey bees
Drip dryin' in the summer breeze
After jumpin' into Calico creek
I was walkin' down an old dirt road
Past a field of hay that had just been mowed
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
'Cause I was almost home"

Man I wish you'd just left me alone
Cause I was almost home (almost home)

Man I wish you'd just left me alone
I was almost home

Craig Morgan - Ain't the way that I wanna go out

Ol' Jimmy, a real hard worker, loadin' trucks at the Feed and Save.
Well-liked, a really nice fella: that's why it's hard to believe.
One day, two counties over, he got caught with another man's wife.
Shots fired, smoke cleared: her husband took Jimmy's life.
In an instant, all the good stuff he'd ever done was all gone.
Now everybody just remembers the one thing that he did wrong.

You can have it all an' in the twinklin' of an eye,
It can all turn around.
If I live to roam this earth another hundred years,
Without 20 seconds from right now,
That ain't the way that I wanna go out.

Rob Jenkins, sittin' on the back pew: head bowed an' his eyes closed.
Preacher talkin' 'bout gettin' to Heaven, said: "Brother would you like to go?"
White knuckles holdin' his Hymnal, while the choir sang Amazing Grace.
He stands up, full of conviction: turns 'round an' runs out of that place.
Off in his truck, says to himself: "Next Sunday, I'm a-gonna get saved."
Runs a red light, hit broadside an' next Sunday is way too late.

You can have it all an' in the twinklin' of an eye,
It can all turn around.
If I live to roam this earth another hundred years,
Without 20 seconds from right now,
That ain't the way that I wanna go out.

I'm gonna do right, an' make sure I ask forgiveness before I go:
I'm gonna take time, 'cause it's a fine line,
Between here an' "You never know."

You can have it all an' in the twinklin' of an eye,
It can all turn around.
If I live to roam this earth another hundred years,
Without 20 seconds from right now,
That ain't the way that I wanna go out.
That ain't the way that I wanna go out.
No I don't wanna go out.

Craig Morgan - 302 South Maple Avenue

They pulled up in a pick up truck
That held everything they owned
He unlocked the door and carried her
Over their new threshold
They stood there, tears in their eyes
Neither one could speak
Hand in hand, room by room, oh it was everything

Three bedrooms, two baths, one car garage
Front porch with a swing at one end
A little over an acre lot all wrapped in a white picket fence
It was more than a house, it was home sweet home
Where all their dreams came true
302 South Maple Avenue

Second mortgage, two kids later
They were still goin' strong
They came through all kinds of changes
And did some addin' on
They filled each room with memories
That money could not buy
They weren't rich, but that old house
Had a wealth of love inside

Three bedrooms, two baths, one car garage
Front porch with a swing at one end
A little over an acre lot all wrapped in a white picket fence
It was more than a house, it was home sweet home
Where all their dreams came true
302 South Maple Avenue

They're older now and the kids are gone
Talk about a smaller place
But the life they shared together there
Won't let them move away

Three bedrooms, two baths, one car garage
Front porch with a swing at one end
A little over an acre lot all wrapped in a white picket fence
It was more than a house, it was home sweet home
Where all their dreams came true
302 South Maple Avenue

302 South Maple Avenue

Collin Raye - Angels we have heard on high

Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains,
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains.

Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song?

Come to Bethlehem and see
Christ Whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee,
Christ the Lord, the newborn King.

See Him in a manger laid,
Whom the choirs of angels praise;
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
While our hearts in love we raise.

Collin Raye - And i love you so

And I'll love you so
The people ask me how
How I lived till now, I tell them I don't know

I guess they understand how lonely life has been
But life began again
The day you took my hand

And yes, I know how lonely life can be
The shadows follow me and the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evenings get me down
Now that you're around me

And you love me too
Your thoughts are just for me
You set my spirit free
I'm happy that you do

The Book of Life is brief
And once a page is read
All but love is dead
That is my belief

And yes, I know how loveless life can be
The shadows follow me and the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evenings get me down
Now that you're around me

And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I lived till now, I tell them I don't know

Collin Raye - All my roads

Looking back from where I stand tonight
I wouldn't change a thing about my life
Wrong turns I had to take back in those crazy years
Could not have been mistakes if they brought me here

'Cause all my roads have led me to
This night, this love I share with you
And though the road was never smooth
Life has made me someone who
Could be the right someone for you

I don't regret a single broken heart
That taught me what love is and what it's not
Someone must have planned our two paths would cross
I couldn't see it then but I was never lost

'Cause all my roads have led me to
This night, this love I share with you
And though the road was never smooth
Life has made me someone who
Could be the right someone for you

Detours, dead ends, endless explorations
You were my only destination

'Cause all my roads have led me to
This night, this love I share with you
And though the road was never smooth
Life has made me someone who
Could be the right someone for you

Collin Raye - All i can be

All I can be is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mind time from time
I can never be more than a knock on your door
Just a shadow that's gone with the sunshine
For you know I'm not free
And I never can be
And your bound to get restless in time
All I can be is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mind

Tonight I'll share the silence
While lying here with you
Sands of time have trickled down
Just a precious few
You're young and so beautiful
And I'm glad that I'm here
But the ending is painfully clear

All I can be is a sweet memory
Of someone you had to leave behind
Who loves you and needs you
Never could give you
A ring for your finger so fine
So tonight we'll just borrow each other
Tomorrow we'll find we've run out of time
All I can be is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mind

For you know I'm not free
And I never can be
And your bound to get restless in time
All I can be is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mind

All I can be is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mind

Collin Raye - A long way to go

When you told me
That we were through
I thought it would be easy
Getting over you
Now I know that it's gonna take some time
'Cause when I come home now
What do I see
So many memories staring at me
I know you left
But you left so much behind

It's plain to see your hold on me
Just keeps on going strong
You've got a long way to go
Before you're gone

I can't take this anymore
I'm half of what I was before
Ever since I lost my better half
When I close my eyes
You're all I see
You're even walking in my sleep
I wanna cry but then I gotta laugh

It's plain to see your hold on me
Just keeps on going strong
You've got a long way to go
Before you're gone

It still ain't clear that you ain't here
To hear me babble on
'Cause you've got a long way to go
Before you're gone

If you come back we can start anew
'Cause I'm so miserable without you
It's kind of like you never left at all

It's plain to see your hold on me
Just keeps on going strong
You've got a long way to go
Before you're gone

Clint Black - You walked by

You walked by, just like you don't know me
You walked by, maybe just to show me
That you're walkin' by
Passin' up your last chance with me
And I wish I hadn't been here to see.

You don't cry, not for this heart breaker
You won't cry, you've found a new love maker
And he's makin' you forget the love
You used to have for me
And that's one thing I wish I hadn' lived to see.

[Chorus:]
When you see me, turn your head away at the sight
I can't turn it back, cryin' out in broad daylight
You've passed my way a hundred times
Now it's too plain to see
You locked me out and threw away the key.

[Instrumental]

[Chorus:]
When you see me, turn your head away at the sight
I can't turn it back, cryin' out in broad daylight
You've passed my way a hundred times
Now it's too plain to see
You locked me out and threw away the key.

You walked by
And I don't know why...

Clint Black - You made me feel

Almost a lifetime of going nowhere
Through all of the motions it took to be me
No one to love me but I didn't care
Had walls all around me and I thought I was free

[Chorus:]
'Til, you made me see you're some kind of light
Can't help but see such a beautiful sight
You opened my eyes and before I could blink
You had all of my vies and I'm startin' to think
That you made me feel all there is to it
You made me feel like you knew I could do it
Put a heart where there's nothing' you made me real
And that's just how you made me feel

I must have been lonely though I couldn't have known
Love was the only thing I was not looking for
Wandering aimless in a world of my own
Pleasure and painless 'til you opened the door

[Chorus:]
'Til, you made me see you're some kind of light
Can't help but see such a beautiful sight
You opened my eyes and before I could blink
You had all of my vies and I'm startin' to think
That you made me feel that's all there is to it
You made me feel like you knew I could do it
Put a heart where there's nothing' and you made me real
And that's just how you made me feel

Just how you made me feel...

Clint Black - You're gonna leave me again

Just like a rerun movie
I see that scene again
That feeling shoots right through me
'Cause this time I know the end.

And I've seen it played so many times
And I've watched it frame by frame
And I don't have to guess who loses
And I know who'll feel the pain.

You're gonna leave me again
Just like you did the time before
This is the start of the end
The end of me when you walk out that door.

Think I'll go down to the picture show
See if they're playin' somethin' new
Maybe one with a happy ending
And I'll pretend It's me and you.

But I know that it's just make believe
So I won't even try
To tell myself that you're not gonna leave
That you'll never say goodbye

You're gonna leave me again
Just like you did the time before
This is the start of the end
The end of me when you walk out that door...

[Instrumental to fade]

Clint Black - Wherever you go

Bottle of scotch whiskey not very smooth
Like snake bite cure from the medicine man
Not bad poison if there's something to soothe
It's a whole other world in the palm of your hand
Out of this world and out of your mind
Just like it don't matter what you're leaving behind
Trying to change your life you change your point of view
But no matter what you do it's the same old you

Wherever you go there you are
You can run from yourself but you won't get far
You can dive to the bottom of your medicine jar
But wherever you go there you are

Bottle of scotch whiskey whatever you find
When you're out on a wire it's a matter of time
Changing every moment when you're taking the fall
There's everything to gain when you're losing it all
Feel your head spinning with your feet on the ground
You climb the wrong ladder and it's keeping you down
Think you're gettin' higher but you're still layin' low
You don't want to be anyone you know

[Repeat Chorus]

Once you've been bitten it's like crossing a line
It's a part of the plan all that's on your mind
Think that it'll help you find somebody to be
But the man in the mirror is all you'll see

[Repeat Chorus]

Clint Black - Where are you now

Maybe I took for granted You'd be around
To pick me up on my way down
I thought my feet were planted Firmly on the ground
'Til one day my whole world came unwound
And like a ball of yarn Kept neatly on a spool
You held the life together Of this broken-hearted fool
And what once was the exception
Now seems to be the rule
And there's a burnin' question
A fire in my mind
You always had the answers The ones I couldn't find

So all I'm askin' Is where are you now?
What Father Time would sell me I'd take it all
If only you'd come back around
But then if time should spell me
Well I might take the call
But there's no way of knowin' where I'm bound
So here comes another Fine mess I've got into
And if I knew which way to turn
I'd still turn to you So if everything is said and done
What am I supposed to do?
And that's the burnin' question On fire in my mind

You always had the answers for me Time after time
So all I'm askin' Is where are you now?
All I'm askin' Is where are you now?

Clint Black - When i said i do

These times are trouble
And these times are good
There always gonna be
They rise and they fall
We take them all the way that we should
Together you and me
Forsaking them all

Deep in the night
And by the light of day
It always looks the same
True love always does
Here by your side or a million miles away
Nothin' is ever gonna change the way I feel
The way it is, is the way that it was

[Chorus:]
When I said I do, I meant that I will
Til' the end of all time
Be faithful and true, devoted to you
That's what I had in mind, when I said I do

Well this whole world keeps changin'
And the world stays the same
For all who came before
And it goes hand in hand

Only you and I can undo
All that we became
That makes us so much more (so much more)
Than a woman and a man

After everything
That comes and goes around
Has only passed us by
Here alone in our dreams

I know there's a lonely heart
In every lost and found
But forever you and I will be the ones
Who found out what forever means

[Chorus]

Truer than true
You know that I'll always be there for you

That's what I had in mind
That's what I had in mind

[Together:]
When I said I do

Clint Black - Walkin' away

Walkin' away I saw a side of you
That I knew was there all along
And that someday I'd say goodbye to you
'Cause one right can still make two wrong

Not for each other, not from the start
The difference was day and night
My finest hour spent here with you in the dark
Was just before I saw the light

It's the people who want love and
the people who need love
Who find love on the way
I'll be lookin' for someone 'til I find the right one
Then I won't be walkin away

Now that I know what I'm tryin' to find
There's only one place it could be
So I'm lookin' ahead, I've stopped lookin' behind
For someone who's lookin' for me

It's the people who want love and
the people who need love
Who find love on the way
I'll be lookin' for someone 'til I find the right one
Then I won't be walkin away

Clint Black - Untanglin' my mind

I guess you're glad to see I'm finally leaving
I know things for you will change now for the good
But it's all that I can do to pack my suitcase
And walk away from you the way I should
And I can't seem to find the voice of reason
Everything seems upside down and right side wrong
While a part of me is here and won't like leaving
The rest of me the best of me is gone
And I'm sure no one will wonder where I've gone to
But if anyone should ask from time to time
Tell them that you finally drove me crazy

And I'm somewhere untanglin' my mind

Well tell 'em I won't be riding I'll be walking
'Cause I don't think a crazy man should drive
Anyway the car belongs to you now
Along with any part of me that's still alive
But there's really not much left you could hold on to
And if you did it wouldn't last here anyway
It would head to where the rest of me rolled on to
So even if I wanted to I couldn't stay

[Repeat Chorus]

And I'm somewhere untanglin' my mind

Clint Black - Thinkin' of you

I've been thinkin' of ya
And my heart aches 'til I can't clear my head
And my thoughts won't rise above ya
And I've had all I can take
There's no more heart to break
Though I always get it wrong
Gonna have to sing along
With the familiar drinkin' song

Whiskey bottle with some melody
Just rolls of the tongue for me, I know 'em all
When I mix gin and misery
I know I'll be the last to see me when I fall

So I'm thinkin' of ya but I don't feel the pain
The song went to my head where I can't forget to love ya
And I'll probably go insane about that old refrain
Though my heart is not that strong
It keeps beating right along
With the familiar drinkin' song

Whiskey bottle with some melody
Just rolls of the tongue for me, I know 'em all
When I mix gin and misery
I know I'll be the last to see me when I fall

Whiskey bottle with some melody
Just rolls of the tongue for me, I know 'em all
When I mix gin and misery
I know I'll be the last to see me when I fall
And I have to crawl

Still I'm thinkin' of ya
And my heart aches, I can't clear my head
And my thoughts won't rise above ya
And I've had all I can take
There's no more heart to break
Though I always get it wrong
Gonna have to sing along
With the familiar drinkin' song

Clint Black - The old man

Off he goes
Down the road
Who knows how many
He's been down before.

With all the years
He's comes to know
Does he wonder if he's
Gonna see one more.

Hanging on to yesterdays
Til'too many tomorrow's are today
With all the turns the road will bring
Well, a young man's gotta wait and see.

Will I ever be the old man
Whose words young ones ponder on
Will I ever take a lady's hand
And will I ever be the old man
Who finds that he's too far gone
Will, there come a day when I can't stand
Am I gonna live that long?

Reaching out
For days to come
Where an old man walks
A young man runs.

The road I know
Is bound to end
Still I can't help wonderin'
Where and when.

Will I ever be the old man
Whose words young ones ponder on
Will I ever take a lady's hand
And will I ever be the old man
Who finds that he's too far gone
Will there come a day when I can't stand
Tell me am I gonna live that long?..

[Instrumental to fade]

Clint Black - The good old days

He still likes the bar room's
Dim-lit, smoky atmosphere
The different kinds of perfume,
Conversations he overhears
He's just one of many winding down
Or winding up the night
The only way he knows to let loose
Is to hold on tight.

[Chorus:]
And he'll never lose that hold
He'll never change his ways
The good times won't grow old
These are the good old days.

He's got no broken romance
That sent him wondering way back when
He carries the torch for no one,
That's the way it's always been
He's just one of the chosen few
Who won't push or tow that line
He knows he'd only lose his heart,
He'd never lose his mind.

[Chorus:]
Oh, And he'll never lose that hold
He'll never change his ways
The good times won't grow old
These are the good old days.

[Chorus:]
Oh, And he'll never lose that hold
He'll never change his ways
The good times won't grow old
These are the good old days.

These are the good old days...

Clint Black - That something in my life

The older you get the more you stand to lose
You can bet that we'll all have our turn
And if I lost everything right down to my shoes
As long as you love me I won't be concerned

[Chorus]
There's one thing in life that I can't replace
It's written in ways even time can't erase
Some things really are too good to be true
That something in my life is you

I spent my time on money and things
That won't do a heart any good
With nothing to gain but the space that it brings
It had always been empty til I understood

[Repeat Chorus]

One thing's for certain and without a doubt
Your love is something I can't live without
Some things really are too good to be true
That something in my life
One thing in my life
That something in my life is you

Clint Black - Summer's comin'

Nothin' on Earth that'll get me hummin'
Like a heat wave comin' and I'll come runnin'
With her makin' that tan in the broad daylight
And every night is a Saturday night
And everything's right with the summer comin'
I'm the first one standin' in line
For my day in the sun I've been workin' 'til the sun don't shine
Takin' off my hat leave it to the boys
Get that old work monkey down off my back
All I want's a little peace and noise
Hit the cruise control get me back on track
Let my old Ford treat me like a Cadillac

Repeat Chorus

When the day gets cookin' gonna grab my toys
And it really doesn't matter which wave we're on
Get to turnin' up them good old boys
Crankin' into the night, by the break of dawn
All the towns are red and I still see blonde

Repeat Chorus

For my day in the sun I've been workin'
'Til the sun don't shine
For my day in the sun I've been workin'
'Til the sun don't shine
Summer's comin' to shine
Summer's comin' to shine
Summer's comin'

Clint Black - State of mind

Got a big leather suitcase, all I own's inside
Seems I've been walkin' for days, can't even bum a ride
Try steppin' to a tune, with the rhythm of a walkin' man
Mind drifts like a big balloon out of my situation at hand

Ain't it funny how a melody can bring back a memory
Take you to another place in time
Completely change your state of mind
Walkin' down a lonely highway not feelin' alone

Thinkin' back when things went my way and not the road I'm on
Well, I've been down a time or two, but it never lasted long
I can always make it through on a wing and a prayer and a song

Ain't it funny how a melody can bring back a memory
Take you to another place in time
Completely change your state of mind
It can make a right from a wrong, it can make you fall in love
It can get you singin' along
Chase the clouds away and make the sun shine above
A melody can bring back a memory
Take you to another place in time
Completely change your state of mind
A melody can bring back a memory
Take you to another place in time
Completely change your state of mind

Clint Black - Spend my time

How can we know how far the long way can be
Looking from where we are it never seemed that long to me
I've many miles behind me, maybe not so much ahead
It seems I made good time with the directions I misread.

So I'm gonna spend my time like it's going out of style
I'm moving the bottom line farther than a country mile
I still have hills to climb before I hit that wall
No matter how much time I buy I could never spend it all.

Funny thing that time, we're always running out
I'm always losing mine, there's not enough of it about
And though it's always here it will always come and go
The days become the years that'll be gone before you know.

So I'm gonna spend my time like it's going out of style
I'm moving the bottom line better than a country mile
I still have hills to climb before I hit that wall.

I won't go quietly into that dark night
There'll be no more buring daylight
I'll be living in every moment that I'm in.

Oh, I'm gonna spend my time like it's going out of style
I'll only use what's mine, I've been saving for awhile
I still have hills to climb before I hit that wall
No matter how much time I buy I could never spend it all.

No matter how much time I buy I could never spend it all...

Clint Black - Something that we do

I remember well the day we wed
I can see that picture in my head
I still believe the words we said
Forever will ring true

Love is certain, Love is kind
Love is yours and love is mine
But it isn't something that we find
It's something that we do

It's holding tight, It's lettin go
It's flying high and laying low
It lets your strongest feelings show
And your weakness too

It's a little and a lot to ask
An endless and a welcome task
Love isn't something that we have
It's something that we do

We help to make each other all that we can be
Though we can find our strength and inspiration independently
The way we work together is what sets our love apart
So closely that we can't tell where I end and where you start

It gives me heart remembering how
We started with a simple vow
There's so much to look back on now
And still it feels brand new
We're on a road that has no end
And each day we begin again
Love's not just something that we're in
It's something that we do

We help to make each other all that we can be
Though we can find our strength and inspiration independently
The way we work together is what sets our love apart
So closely that we can't tell where I end and where you start

Love is wide, Love is long
Love is deep and Love is strong
Love is why I love this song
And I hope you love it too

I remember well the day we wed
I can see that picture in my head
Love isn't just those words we said
It's something that we do

There's no request
Too big or small
We give ourselves
We give our all
Love isn't some place that we fall...
It's something that we do

Clint Black - Rainbow in the rain

I've seen the storms comin' so many times I'm losin' track
Yesterdays clouds are rollin' in again
Oh, and what a woman, every time I start thinkin' back
How she's come and gone just like the wind

And there's no such thing as old forgotten memories
No such thing as the only one to blame
And I'm not one who'll never see the forest for the trees
But I can't find a rainbow in the rain

I wake up in the mornin'
Hope I got you outta my head
But not if I'm shiverin' from the cold
And the red skies warnin' to say I'd better stay in bed
And don't go lookin' for a pot of gold

'Cause there's no such thing as old forgotten memories
No such thing as the only one to blame
And I'm not one who'll never see the forest for the trees
But I can't find a rainbow in the rain

No, there's no such thing as old forgotten memories
And I don't go lookin' for rainbows in the rain

Clint Black - Put yourself in my shoes

Your mind is made up, you won't even try
You didn't even cry, this time
You say that we, could never see, eye to eye
And one of us just must be blind.

We have our differences
We're still the same
We see, just what we want to see
But you take a second look.
And maybe things wouldn't seem the same
If you could see, what you mean to me.

Put yourself in my shoes
Walk a mile for me
You know, I'll put myself in your shoes
Maybe then we'd see
That if you put yourself in my shoes
You'd have some sympathy
And if I could only put myself in your shoes
You know, I'd walk right back to me.

[Instrumental]

You're gonna keep walkin'
You're gonna pass me by
You said you don't even care
But I could always recognize a real good-bye
And I know, your heart's not there.

We've have our differences
We're still the same
We just hear only what we want to hear
Now, I'm head over heels, I'm in the lost and found
It's a cryin' shame
I thought we made the perfect pair

Put yourself in my shoes
Walk a while, walk that mile for me
I'll put myself in your shoes
Maybe then we'd see, Ohh
That if you put yourself in my shoes
You'd have some sympathy for me
And if I could only put myself in your shoes
You know, I'd walk right back to me

You know, I'd walk right back to me
You know, I'd walk, I'd walk right back to me...

Clint Black - Our kind of love

Long ago with a younger partner
Always in love but a love for sure
Their hearts were lost out in the shuffle
Of a hook and wings on a sawdust floor.

Now they hold their own out on the liners
They're always prime for something slow
And you won't find them changin' partners
Love will keep in step keepin' up with a country set
It's our kind of love I'll bet
They're together everywhere they go.

Now they're on in years and they don't need a reason
All the lights are on for the same old thing
When they call Let's dance, their song will still be playin'
Til' the end of time their love'll be in full swing.

And they hold their own out on the liners
They're always prime for something slow
And you won't find them changin' partners
Love will keep in step keepin' up with a country set
It's our kind of love I'll bet
They're together everywhere they go.

Love will keep in step keepin' up with a country set
It's our kind of love I'll bet
They're together everywhere they go
It's our kind of love
I'll bet they're together everywhere they go.

[Instrumental to fade]

Clint Black - Only a woman

Verse One:
Only a woman,
Can make me wanna be the man,
The one that she believes I am,
The one who had to fall,
Only a woman,
Would make me wanna find the words,
The ones that are so seldom heard,
The ones that say it all,

Chorus:
Only a woman,
Would make me do the things I do,
A woman,
The only thing I know that's true,
Only a woman,
A woman like you,

Verse two:
Only a woman,
Would make me love a rainy day,
Stay in the bed and pull the shades,
And get lost for a while,
Only a woman,
Would make me turn my world around,
Take everything that's upside down,
And change it with a smile,

Repeat Chorus:

Instrumental Break------------

Only a woman,
A woman like you,
Would make me do the things I do,
A woman,
The only thing I know that's true
Only a woman,
Only a woman,
A woman like you.

Clint Black - One emotion

Looking for the feelings That used to tell me something's wrong
Like all the doubts When love sent shivers down my spine
But all I'm feeling Is pure and simply we belong
And what's come over me
Are chills of another kind

One emotion wrapped around me
One emotion I can hold on to
Wherever it's going is exactly where I want to be
One emotion's got a hold of you and me

There's nothing left Of the useless things I used to feel
Only love now As everything else just fades away
It's all around us
Though you might not see it
It's just as real as the wild horses
You would have to have to drag me away

[Repeat Chorus]

Clint Black - No time to kill

There's no time to kill between the cradle and the grave.
Father Time still takes a toll on every minute that you save.
Legal tenders never gonna change the number of your days.
The highest cost of livin is dying, that's one everybody pays.
So have it spent before you get the bill, there's no time to kill.

If we'd known ten years ago today would be ten years from now
Would we spend tomorrows yesterdays and make it last somehow
Or lead the cheers in someone else's game and never learn to play
And see the rules of thumb are all the same that measure every day.
The grass is green on both sides of the hill, there's no time to kill.

No time to kill, even I've said it and probably always will
But I can look ahead and see that time ain't standin' still.
No time to kill but time to change the kind of hurry I've been in
And quit this work and worry looking back at where I've been.
If you don't look ahead nobody will, there's no time to kill.

If we had an hour glass to watch each one go by
Or a bell to mark each one to pass, we'd see just how they fly.
Would we escalate the value to be worth its weight in gold
Or would we never know the fortunes that we had til we grow old.
And do we just keep killin time until there's no time to kill.

No time to kill, even I've said it and probably always will
But I can look ahead and see that time ain't standin still.
No time to kill but time to change the kind of hurry I've been in
And quit this work and worry lookin back at where I've been.
If you don't look ahead nobody will, there's no time to kill.

No time to kill, even I've said it and probably always will
But I can look ahead and see that time ain't standin still.
No time to kill but time to change the kind of hurry I've been in
And quit this work and worry lookin back at where I've been.
If you don't look ahead nobody will, there's no time to kill.

No time to kill
No time to kill

Clint Black - Making you smile

Verse one:
I remember you light and lovely,
Floating here by my side,
Thinkin' I could be part of you,
And see the things most people hide,
Now you won't even let me near,
When you finally come around,
I can't help but feelin',
There's something weighin' you down,

Chorus:
There's someone else behind that look in your eyes,
Someone else tellin' you to tell me goodbye,
You've been here but I haven't seen you for a while,
That look on your face tells me that,
Someone else's making you smile

Verse two:
Where did that woman go,
Who could always make me laugh,
Making me more than whole,
Just being my better half,
Now I got this empty feeling,
But I know there's something there,
I could stop you leavin',
But I can't find you anywhere,

Chorus:
There's someone else behind that look in your eyes,
Someone else tellin' you to tell me goodbye,
You've been here but I haven't seen you for a while,
That look on your face tells me that,
Someone else's making you smile,

Like I used to,
Like I need to,
Find my way back in,
To see you again,

You've been here but I haven't seen you for a while,
That look on your face tells me that,
Someone else's making you smile.

Clint Black - Loving blind

Well I sit here all alone
No one's gonna do me wrong tonight
It seems I've been through it all
And there's no one I could call to get it right
And everywhere I go
Everyone seems so settled in
And sure of where they're going
Well I don't know what I need
Since I've been freed I'm a horse without a rider
And there's no one left to take the lead

I've been loving blind
Loving every heart I could call mine
I've been loving blind
So sure there was something I could find
But I just couldn't see
There was nothing there for me

Now there's a smile on my face
No there's no trace of the pain
I know I've been through it all
And I know those tears won't fall again
But oh the times I thought
Someone's heart I'd caught
Well, I was fooled oh and
I regret I was so naive
Oh and I'd believe them when they'd tell me
That's as good as love can get

And I've been loving blind
Loving every heart I could call mine
And I've been loving blind
So sure there was something I could find
But I just couldn't see There was nothin' there for me

Clint Black - Love she can't live without

He gives her attention, he's constantly, carefully planting the seeds
The only thing missing, is really the only thing she needs
And he can't give that to her and she can't find it with him
So she'll have to find her way out of love she's not really in

[Chorus]
She can live with what goes with leavin
She knows it's the only way
Though it kills her to give up believin
She can't live with herself if she stays
She could settle for what she'd be feelin
If she gave in and worked this one out
She doesn't want the kind of love she can live with
She wants the kind of love she can't live without

She looks in the mirror and sees all the sadness in her eyes
It's never been clearer what he's askin her to sacrifice
But she can't be his forever, she can't even be his for now
She'll have to be kind to them both and let go of him somehow

[Chorus]
She can live with what goes with leavin
She knows it's the only way
Though it kills her to give up believin
She can't live with herself if she stays
She could settle for what she'd be feelin
If she gave in and worked this one out
She doesn't want the kind of love she can live with
She wants the kind of love she can't live without

And the hardest part is she loves him
But she doesn't want the kind of love she can live with
She wants the kind of love she can't live without

Clint Black - Like the rain

I never liked the rain until I walked through it with you
Every thunder cloud that came was one more I might not get through
On the darkest day there's always light and now I see it too
But I never liked the rain until I walked through it with you
I hear it falling in the night and filling up my mind
All the heaven's rivers come to light and I see it all unwind
I hear it talking through the trees and on the window pane
when I hear it I just can't believe I never liked the rain

Like the rain I have fallen for you and I know just why you
Liked the rain always calling for you I'm falling for you now
Just like the rain

When the cloud is rolling over thunder striking me
It's as bright as lightning and I wonder why I couldn't see
That it's always good and when the flood is gone we still remain
Guess I've known all along I just belong here with you falling

Like the rain I have fallen for you and I know just why you
Liked the rain always calling for you, I'm falling for you now
Just like the rain I have fallen for you
I'm falling for you know just like the rain

And when the night falls on our better days
And we're looking to the sky
For the winds to take us high above the plains
I know that we'll find better ways to look into the eye
of the storms that will be calling
Forever we'll be falling

Like the rain I have fallen for you, and I know just why you
Like the rain always calling for you, I'm falling for you now just
Like the rain I have fallen for you and I know just why you
Like the rain always calling for you, I'm falling for you now just
Like the rain
Like the rain
Like the rain
Like the rain
...

Clint Black - Killin' time

You were the first thing that I thought of
When I thought I drank you off my mind
When I get lost in the liquor
You're the only one I find
And if I did the things I oughta
You still would not be mine

So I'll keep a tight grip on the bottle
Gettin' loose and killin' time
This killin' time is killin' me
Drinking myself blind thinkin' I won't see
That if I cross that line and they bury me
I just might find I'll be killin' time for eternity

I don't know nothin' 'bout tomorrow
I've been lost in yesterday
I've spent all my life just dying For a love that passed away
And if there's an end to all my sorrow
And this is the only price I'll pay I'll be a happy man when I go
And I can't wait another day

[Repeat chorus]

Clint Black - I can get by

In a simple life dreams die hard
You never let, let 'em go
All the while you play your cards
And you may never know
Why it's always lady luck
On someone elses' palm they read
Your holding my two empty hands
Is really all I need.

[Chorus:]
I can get by if it all fell through
Right down to the bottom of my list
I can get by lookin' back on life
Find that I've too many things I've missed
I can get by without doing
All the crazy things some people do
But I wouldn't wanna try
Even barely gettin' by without you.

Many things I've come to need
That I could do without
And many more I"ve done with out
I could come to need
The one thing that I'd fight to keep
Until my days are through
Is when I lay me down to sleep
I'm lyin' next to you.

[Chorus:]
I can get by if it all fell through
Right down to the bottom of my list
I can get by lookin' back on life
Find that I've too many things I've missed
I can get by without doing
All the crazy things some people do
But I wouldn't wanna try
Even barely gettin' by without you.

[Instrumental]

[Chorus:]
I can get by if it all fell through
Right down to the bottom of my list
I can get by lookin' back on life
Find that I've too many things I've missed
I can get by without doing
All the crazy things some people do
But I wouldn't wanna try
Even barely gettin' by without you...

Clint Black - Heartaches

The doctor told me I'd get better in time
The pains in my chest won't drive me outta my mind
A little patience and I'll get over this one
Now even he would admit his diagnosis was wrong

'Cause here come those heartaches again
I've got a memory that's wearin' me thin
I'll have an IV of somethin' strong
'Cause I just might not have that long

'Cause here come those heartaches again
I see you will be checkin' me in
Doctor, give me just one more shot
There's no tellin' how long I've got

I'll need a bypass of anything I might feel
A big glass of pain killer
It might even seem like I'm here
But I won't bother tellin' my HMO
'Cause everytime I was dyin'
They kept letting me go

And here come those heartaches again
I've got a memory that's wearin' me thin
I'll have an IV of somethin' strong
'Cause I just might not have that long

'Cause here come those heartaches again
I see you will be checkin' me in
Doctor, give me just one more shot
There's no tellin' how long I've got

'Cause here come those heartaches again

Clint Black - Goodnight loving

Ridin' against the wind in east New Mexico
His skin is dry and worn as the Texas plains
He's headed where the air is thinand the cold blue northers blow
Up throw the raton pass but he'll have to beat the early snow.

The winter of '64 was a great many years ago
When a young man went away for the rebel cause
And he was branded by the war and the only life he'd know
Was lookin' over his shoulder saddle bound and layin' low.

Now there's a man on the goodnight loving
Like too many other men out on the trail
Who found the hard way when the pushing comes to shoving
He'd go six feet under before he'd go to jail.

[Instrumental]

Now there's a place just north of here where they say the outlaws go
Where a man can leave his name and past behind
And every now and then you'll hear he's gone the way of the buffalo
And that he finally made the pass but he didn't beat the early snow.

Now there's a man on the goodnight loving
Like too many other men out on the trail
Who found the hard way when the pushing comes to shoving
He'd go six feet under before he'd go to jail.

He'd go six feet under before he'd go to jail...

Clint Black - Go it alone

Here we are again my old friend
We rode to the ends of the earth and back again
We've seen all and done all that there is to do
Now you're ridin' the sky with the others we knew
Ridin' free like the drifer you are
With your back to the wind

But I have seen you and me with our backs to the wall
We have fought to be free from both sides of the law
Sometimes we're forgiven the chances we take
Most times we're just bending the rules when they break
But this is one ride just you alone have to make
Win, lose or draw

You go it alone my old friend
We could never know how just how it would end
We're just flesh and bone, we break and we bend
It's chiseled in stone, we say our amen
And you go it alone

There once was a time when we knew the trails
Now ahead or behind are fences and rails
We've outlived the lifetime and ran out of room
But every hand finally throws up his hat to the moon
Now the fiddler's just played his last tune
And told his last tale

He said, you go it alone my old friend
We could never know how just how it would end
We're just flesh and bone, we break and we bend
Now it's chiseled in stone, we've said our amen
And you go it alone

You go it alone, you go it alone

Clint Black - Galaxy song

Just remember that you standing
On a planet that's evolving,
Revolving at 900 miles an hour.
It's orbiting at 19 miles a second, so it's reckoned,
A sun that is the source of all our power.
The Sun and you and me
And all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day.
In an outer spiral orb, at 40,000 miles an hour,
Of the Galaxy we call the Milky Way.

Our Galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
It's a 100,000 light years side to side
It bulges in the middle 16,000 light years thick,
But out by us it's just 3,000 light years wide.
We're 30,000 light years from galactic central point.
We go round every 200,000,000 years.
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding Universe.

[Instrumental]

Our Universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whiz
As fast as it can go, the speed of light you know, 12,000,000 miles a minute,
And that's the fastest speed there is!
So, remember when you're feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth.
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
'Cause I'm afraid that we've been cheated here on Earth.

Clint Black - Finest gift

Verse One

She can shop all over town, turn the gift
shops upside down
Finding something for her man with everything
But it's right behind her eyes and no matter what she buys
She'll always be the finest gift she brings

Chorus

Every year it's never missed, should be at
The top of every list
It can never be outdone,it's the perfect
gift for everyone

Verse Two

It's in everything you'll see scattered
underneath our tree
You can hear it in the carols that we sing
It's the heart of love's design and it
Appreciates with time
And she'll always be the finest gift she brings

(Repeat Chorus)

Verse Three

Now It's not in any store and she could
Never give me more
Than her promise of the finest gift she brings
I know her love's the finest gift she brings

Clint Black - Everything I need

Everything I need all depends on you
Everything I want is everything you do
It's been handed down through time
It's really nothing new
Boy meets girl, I meet you
A love song that could never be untrue.

[Chorus:]
All I need is everyting I want
It's a fundamental greed
All I need is everything you flaunt
That's a language I can read
All I need is everything I want
And that makes you everything I need.

Everything I need is on my one-track mind
Everything I want is where I draw the line
I'll take all you've got to give
Spend up all your precious time
You can't undo the ties that bind
Or hide the moon that needs the sun to shine.

[Chorus:]
All I need is everyting I want
It's a fundamental greed
All I need is everything you flaunt
That's a language I can read
All I need is everything I want
And that makes you everything I need.

Everything I need can't get it on TV
Everything I need is absolutely free
Everything I need is pure biology
That will bring me to my bended knee
My craving you will sweetly torture me.

[Chorus:]
All I need is everyting I want
It's a fundamental greed
All I need is everything you flaunt
That's a language I can read
All I need is everything I want
And that makes you everything I need...

Clint Black - Easy for me to say

Some won't find the words
More won't find a way
Never too often heard
You know it's easy for me to say
The thing you need to hear
Way more than every day
Can never be too clear
You know it's easy for me to say

[Chorus]
I love you
Quiet and loud
Alone in a crowd
I love you
In a thousand little ways
I'm learning to say
And I learn something new every day
I love you
It's easy for me to say

It always sounds the same
Music to my ears
Leaves nothing to explain
You know it's easy for me to hear
The phrase that we all know
Nothing it can't outweigh
Take it wherever we go
You know it's easy for me to say

[Repeat Chorus]

[Bridge]
I love you
No poet ever found a better way
You know it's easy for me to say
I love you
I'll try to say it more every day
You know it's easy for me to say

Clint Black - Buying time

I've played the games, the masquerades
By the time the eleventh hour fades
You're bound to know that what I say is true
And I'm the one you're looking for
Every time you find that cheatin' door
I'll just keep pretending, I never knew.

[Chorus:]
But what are we in this for
When our heart are on the line
And if a heart could break
You're surely breaking mine
And if we fall to ruin
It wasn't my design
If I can have my way
There's no price I won't pay
To just keep buying time.

I'll have to say I have my doubts
But I'll give all till I give out
And I'll do anything to make you stay
But this could be part of the plan
Maybe we were dealt a losing hand
I'll have to let the cards fall where they may

[Chorus:]
But what are we in this for
When our heart are on the line
And if a heart could break
You're surely breaking mine
And if we fall to ruin
It wasn't my design
If I can have my way
There's no price I won't pay
To just keep buying time...

Clint Black - Birth of the king

Verse One

Sages have come from far following one bright star
Telling us where thou art from heaven
The king of kings, Lord is the word he brings
Praise of the Nazarene the angels will sing

Chorus

Jesus born unto Mary in Bethlehem
The angels herald the pietas in the magi,
Ardent wouldn't tarry to find him,
enshrine him, glorify him

Verse Two

Frankincense, gold and myrrh honor the Savior's birth
The highest praise on earth
The angels will sing of him, the trinity begins
Voices will ring, "Amen the birth of the king"

Chorus Two

Jesus, Joseph and Mary of Israel, Isiah's
miracle augured befell
The coming of Christ as the star from the East will tell
The first noel our Load Emmanuel

Verse Three

Sages have come from far following one bright star
Telling us who thou art from heaven
The king of kings, Lord is the word he brings
Praise of the Nazarene, the angels will sing
Of the birth of the king
The angels will sing of the birth of the king
The angels will sing of the birth of the king

Clint Black - Been there

Did you ever wake up in the middle of the night
And wonder where you were
You need the one and only that can hold you tight
And you reach for her, but she's not with you
You just wish this trip would end
You know I've been there, I don't wanna go back again

Did you ever wake up in the middle of the day
And wonder who you are
You suddenly discover there's a price you pay
For gettin' this far, and it's the part of you
You really don't have to spend
You know I've been there, and I don't wanna go back again

There's so many moments that I've left incomplete
Those are the moments that I'm not gonna repeat, no

Did you ever wake up in the middle of a dream
That didn't come true
You think you're gotta give up on makin' that scene
And seeing it through, you feel like breaking
When you really just need to bend
You know I've been there, and I'll never go back again

There's so many moments that I've left incomplete
Those are the moments that I'm not gonna repeat, no

Clint Black - Back to back

Behind every good man stands a good woman
Though they might be looking a different way
While she's dealin' with one thing
I've got another thing comin'
If I'm lookin' at tomorrow, she'll be thinkin' 'bout yesterday.

Back to back, we face each other
Still together all alone
We'd be the last to turn to one another
But I know we'll make it together on our own.

[Instrumental]

Nobody could ever come between us
Or force our backs against the wall
Today we're tighter than I've ever seen us
Bending over backwards together, we could never fall.

Back to back, we face each other
Still together all alone
We'd be the last to turn to one another
But I know we'll make it together on our own.

Back to back we face each other
But I know we'll make it together on our own...

Clint Black - A good run of bad luck

A high roller even when the chips are down
To win her over, I'd seen the tables turn around
She's ten the hard way, I can feel it in my bones
She'll be makin' my day and not another night alone
'Til it's time for a windfall and not a single minute too soon
I've been too long overdue, now I'm gonna shoot the moon

I'd bet it all on a good run of bad luck
Seven come eleven and she could be mine
Luck be a lady, and I'm gonna find love comin' on the bottom line

I've been to the table, and I've lost it all before
I'm willin' and able, always comin' back for more
Squeezin' out a thin dime 'til there's no one hanging on my arm
I've gambled on a third time, a fool will tell you it's a charm
If I'm bettin' on a loser, I'm gonna have a devil to pay
But it's the only game I know to play, it doesn't matter anyway

I'd bet it all on a good run of bad luck
Seven come eleven and she could be mine
Luck be a lady, and I'm gonna find love comin' on the bottom line

I'd bet it all on a good run of bad luck
Seven come eleven and she could be mine
Luck be a lady, and I'm gonna find love comin' on the bottom line

Clint Black - A change in the air

There's something talkin' in the wind
Whispering through the trees
That feeling in my bones again
Just puts me right at ease.

It takes me back to all the times
I've been here before
But crossroads, old familiar signs
Tell me there's something more.

Can't explain, there's something strange about the early fall
It's comfort leaving me without a care
I remain but everything around me hears the call
And tonight, I feel a change in the air.

[Instrumental]

The leaves are turning, soon they'll fall
There's a norther' blowing in
The memories flowin', I recall
Those changes in the wind.

But I can never try to understand
There's nothing you can hold in your hand

Can't explain, there's something strange about the early fall
It's comfort leaving me without a care
I remain but everything around me hears the call
And tonight I feel a change in the air.

Yes, I'll surely feel a change in the air...

Clint Black - A better man

What do you say when it's over?
I don't know if I should say anything at all
One day we're rollin' in the clover
Next thing you know we take the fall

Still, I think about the years since I first met you
And the way it might have been without you here
And I don't know if words from me can still upset you
But I've just gotta make this memory stand clear

I know I'm leavin' here a better man
For knowin' you this way
Things I couldn't do before, now I think I can
And I'm leavin here a better man

I guess I always knew I couldn't hold you
But I'd never be the one to set you free
Just like some old nursery rhyme your mama told you
You still believe in some old meant-to-be

[Repeat chorus]

Still, I'm leavin' here a better man...

[Repeat chorus]

Clint Black - A bad goodbye

I've been bound to leave you,
We've known that for awhile
I'm sure it's something I can't do
If I can't leave you with a smile
I don't know how far I'll have to go
'Til I'm sure those eyes won't cry
And in my mind I've left enough to know
That I can't leave you
With a bad goodbye.

Goodbye, easier said than done
Goodbye, there's no good when you're the one
Whose goodbye you swore would never come
And in my goodbye you're finding none.

I'm still bound to leave you,
I surely don't know how
My heart won't let me put you through
What my mind says should happen now.

I don't know where we'll go from here,
there may be no way to fly
And the cloud I'm in just makes it
all too clear that I can't leave you
With a bad goodbye.

Goodbye, easier said than done
Goodbye, there's no good when you're the one
Whose goodbye you swore would never come
And in my goodbye you're finding none.

How can we be so far between
Where we are and one more try
And any way I look,
I've only seen that I can't leave you
With a bad goodbye...
