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

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
