Edens Edge - Swingin' Door

You've got your Texas way of walking,
You've got your sexy way of talking,
I let you get all under my skin,
But now your welcome has worn off and
So next time you go, don't come back again,

Cause your train don't stop here anymore,
I ain't your gas-up rest stop, swinging door,
You can't just walk in, walk out like so many times before,
I ain't your swinging door,

You've got a girl in every cow-town,
You think I don't know how you cat around,
I let your sweet talk get my guard down,
Took me a while to figure you out,
But I've got you figured all out now,

And your train don't stop here anymore,
I ain't your gas-up rest stop, swinging door,
You can't just walk in, walk out like so many time before,
I ain't your swinging door,

You'd best make up your mind,
Cause if you go you ain't coming back this time,

Your train don't stop here anymore,
I ain't your quick stop, walk up, open 24
You can't just drop in, drop out, treat me like your candy store,

Your train don't stop here anymore,
I ain't your gas-up rest stop, swinging door,
You can't just walk in, walk out like so many times before,
I ain't your swinging door,
I ain't your swinging door.

Edens Edge - Slow motion

Baby, whatcha thinking, do you wanna be with me?
And maybe we can see where this thing goes

Sunset, sunrise, open your big blue eyes
If you go too fast you'll pass up the best things in your life
My heart ain't into roller-coaster rides
I need a lifetime slow climb if I'm gonna get it right

Baby, whatcha thinking, do you wanna be with me?
And maybe we can see where this thing goes
I'm talking 'bout love in slow motion

Crush, touch, rush into lust and call it love
Thinking right now somehow might work out but never does
Forever's more to me than just a word
I'm on a slow road, don't go racing, rolling past the curves

Baby, whatcha thinking, do you wanna be with me?
And maybe we can see where this thing goes
I'm talking 'bout love in slow motion

I want loving, I want living, to be stretching every minute
To the limit with no looking back and wishing and regretting
I'm not letting myself go until I feel that sweet emotion

Talking 'bout love in slow motion
Love in slow motion
Love in slow emotion

Talking 'bout love in
Talking 'bout love in slow
I'm talking 'bout love in slow

Baby, whatcha thinking, do you wanna be with me?
And maybe we can see where this thing goes

Edens Edge - Feels so real


It was two years ago and it was yesterday
It might not make sense
But that's just the way it feels to me

I'm as bad as an old washing machine
Spinning 'round but I never get clean
Don't you see

'Cause baby, you're gone but you're like the wind
Out of the calm you come back again
Rattling the windows of my painted shut heart
Feels so real

Inside I still got this breaking in my chest
Don't feel like flesh, it feels like glass
And glass shatters

Oh, outside I'm not leather yet
But these days I'm tougher than I ever thought I'd get
Or ever wanna be and the heart of the matter

Is baby, you're gone but you're like the wind
Out of the calm you come back again
Rattling the windows of my painted shut heart, oh
Feels so real, feels so real

Pulling down, Jupiter, would be much easier
Swimming in the sky that would be a breeze
Than finding a magic cure, help me remember
You're nothing but a memory, yeah

Baby, you're gone but you're like the wind
Out of the calm you come back again
Rattling the windows of my painted shut heart
Feels so real, feels so real

It was two years ago and it was yesterday
(Oh, it feels so real, oh)
Might not make sense
But that's just the way it feels to me

Edens Edge - Christ alone

When I fly off this mortal earth
And I’m measured up by depth and girth
The Father says now what’s he worth
May he see Jesus death and birth

Don’t measure me by dollar signs
Or bricks and mortar you may find
By Christ alone will I be found
Worthy of that golden crown
Worthy of that golden crown

The value of this life I’ve lived
How did I love, did I forgive
Where did my treasure truly lay
How did I start and end each day

Don’t measure me by battles won
Or some good deed that I have done
By Christ alone will I be found
Worthy of that golden crown
Worthy of that golden crown

May be a pauper or a king
Have nothing or have everything
The question begs, do you belong
Do you sing a resurrection song

Measured by the master’s hand
On only one truth can we stand
By Christ alone will we be found
Worthy of that golden crown
Worthy of that golden crown

Steel Magnolia - Without you

I'm nothin' without you
A crumblin' statue without you
I'm no-one, just someone
Lost in the moment
Searching for something
Life's nothing without you
I lay here waitin' for you
When I call you, no answer
Don't blame you, it hits me, I miss you
God I miss you

I need to know I'm on your mind
The way I know that you're on mine
The way I know the stars will shine
And that the sun will light the sky
I need to feel you

Beside me, right by me
Never passing by me
I want you to hold me, console me
When I feel I can't control me
My emotions take over,
Tell me it's not over
Never will be
Well, I know I'm guilty

I need to know I'm on your mind
The way I know that you're on mine
The way I know the stars will shine
And that the sun will light the sky
I need to feel you

I need to feel
I need you
Come on, come on baby
Come on, come on baby

I need to know I'm on your mind
The way I know that you're on mine
The way I know the stars will shine
And that the sun will light the sky
I need to feel you

I'm nothing without you
A crumblin' statue
Without you I'm no one

Steel Magnolia - Rainbow

I got a pink slip today
It's time for rent but I can't pay
My car broke down on the interstate
They passed me by 'cause they won't wait
And oh, all I can think of is you
And oh, well I know what I'm gonna do
And that is...

Get up, get up, get up
I've got to let it go
Get out, get out
You've got to let all know
How you feel when you feel like you do
Got to have faith when you know that it's true
Get up, get up, get up, get up because...
Somewhere over the rainbow is you
Over the rainbow

Time for everything under the sun
A time to cry and a time for fun
A time to hold back and a time to run
But I know there's someone for everyone
And oh, all I can think of is you
And oh, don't care what life puts me through

I'm gonna get up, get up, get up
I've got to let it go
Get out, get out
You got to let all know
How you feel when you feel like you do
Got to have faith when you know that it's true
Get up, get up, get up, get up because..
Somewhere over the rainbow is you
Over the rainbow

Over the rainbow

Oh, so what if it's rainy and cold?
Oh, when I'm holding my part of gold
And oh, we all have pain
But oh, the sun always shines in the rain, so I

Get up, get up, get up
I've got to let it go
Get out, get out
You got to let all know

Get up, get up, get up
I've got to let it go
Get out, get out
You've got to let it show
How you feel when you feel like you do
Got to have faith when you know that it's true
Get up, get up, get up, get up because..
Somewhere over the rainbow is you
Over the rainbow
Somewhere over the rainbow is you
Over the rainbow

You got to let it go
You got to let it go
Over the rainbow is you.

Steel Magnolia - Not tonight


If I were stronger I'd just let you leave
You'd say it's over and I would just agree
Then I'd tell you I wish you the best, I really do
You deserve happiness, I can't give you what you need
You can leave, just not tonight

I'm not ready to lay this down
I'm too stubborn to quit you now
There's a voice somewhere deep inside of my mind
Saying it's too soon to let you go tonight
I'm in no hurry to hear goodbye
Why can't it wait till the morning light?
We can come undone some other time
Just not tonight

Before the stars go out, before we disappear
Let me hold you now, rest your head, right here
But I can't live without you to make your love come back
What can I say to make you stop
Here in your tracks, I know you're staring at the wrong way, as tonight

I'm not ready to lay this down
I'm too stubborn to quit you now
There's a voice somewhere deep inside of my mind
Saying it's too soon to let you go tonight
I'm in no hurry to hear goodbye
Why can't it wait till the morning light?
We can come undone some other time
Just not tonight

Not tonight

I'm not ready to lay this down
I'm too stubborn to quit you now
There's a voice somewhere deep inside of my mind
Saying it's too soon to let you go tonight
I'm in no hurry to hear goodbye
Why can't it wait till the morning light?
We can come undone some other time
Just not tonight

Not tonight
Just not tonight

If I were stronger I'd just let you leave
You'd say it's over and I would just agree

Steel Magnolia - Last night again

[Joshua]
Your lips are moving but I can't hear you
wish you would talk your way right over here
[Meghan]
I see you looking, boy, but I can't feel you
why don't we just disappear?

[Joshua]
I'm getting jealous of the way he's leaning
you make him feel like it's all alright.
[Meghan]
Boy, if you wanna know the things I've been thinking,
you'd be meeting me outside

[Together]
Cause last night out was calling you mine
discovering each other til the morning light
and I don't know where this is going,
but it sure feels right
I don't wanna leave you here tonight
so let's do what we did last night...again

[Joshua]
Your friends are looking like they're ready for leaving.
Girl, you look like you can't make up your mind.
[Meghan]
I'm fumbling, acting like I can't find my keys
well, maybe you could give me a ride

[Together]
Cause last night out was calling you mine
discovering each other til the morning light
and I don't know where this is going
but it sure feels right
I don't wanna leave you here tonight
so let's do what we did last night...again

I can't wait, I can't let you go
I can't wait, I won't let you go
let you go

Cause last night out was calling you mine
discovering each other til the morning light
and I don't know where this is going
but it sure feels right
I don't wanna leave you here tonight
so let's do what we did last night...again

[Joshua]
Your lips are moving, but I can't hear you
wish you would talk your way right over here..

Steel Magnolia - Keep on loving you

Maybe life has got you rundown
I think it's time Girl that we slow down
So take a look, it's almost sundown

So why don't you lay right here
Let me just ease your mind
I'm givin' you all my time
I'm gonna keep on, keep on loving you
Strong and slow, the way that you want me to
Maybe my whole life through
I'm gonna keep on, keep on loving you

When that morning sun is dawning
Baby both of us should call in
'Cause we've got too much love to fall in

So why don't you lay right here
Let me just ease your mind
I'm givin' you all my time
I'm gonna keep on, keep on loving you
Strong and slow, the way that you want me to
Maybe my whole life through
I'm gonna keep on, keep on loving you

Why don't you lay right here
Let me just ease your mind
Give you all my time
I'm gonna keep on, keep on
Strong and slow, the way that you want me to
Baby my whole life through
I'm gonna keep on, keep on,
Strong and slow, the way that you want me to
Maybe my whole life through
I'm gonna keep on, keep on loving you
Soft and slow, the way you want me to
Maybe my whole life through
I'm gonna keep on, keep on, keep on loving you

I'm gonna keep on, keep on loving you.

Steel Magnolia - Just being you

Let's run away, where nothing stands between me and you,
Let's find a place, somewhere a little closer to the truth,
And call it a home, where there's no right and there's no wrong,
And we can be all alone.
Chorus
And I'll take off my halo, if you take off your wings,
You don't have to be invincible, cause I sure ain't no saint,
You'll always be my angel no matter what you do,
Cause you take me to heaven, just by being you.
Tell me a secret, tell me things that no one else should know,
Even in your weakness, baby drop your guard, just let it go,
Until everything's exposed, and you don't have to feel ashamed,
Baby, just say my name.
Chorus
And I'll take off my halo, if you take off your wings,
You don't have to be invincible, cause I sure ain't no saint,
You'll always be my angel no matter what you do,
Cause you take me to heaven, just by being you.
When I see you standing there, you know it all becomes so clear
The way you look, the way you touch, I need the way you lift me up
This will never feel complete until there's nothing in between
And we have broke down every war.
Baby, baby, baby let's just fall.
Chorus
And I'll take off my halo, and I'll take off my wings,
You don't have to be invincible, cause I sure ain't no saint,
You'll always be my angel no matter what you do,
Cause you take me to heaven, just by being you.
Oh, you take me to heaven, just by being you.
Let's run away,
Let's run away

Steel Magnolia - I need you

I wanna drink that shot of whiskey.
I wanna smoke that cigarette.
I wanna taste that sweet addiction on my breath.
I wanna ride across west Virginia, a back seat of a catallac.
You know some cowboys like me go out like that.

I need you.
Like a needle needs a vain.
Like Uncle Joe in Oklahoma needs rain
Oh I need you.
Like a lighthouse on the coast.
Like the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost.
I need you.
Oohh I need you!

I wanna get lost in some corner booth Cantiana, Mexico.
I wanna dance to the static of an AM radio.
I wanna wrap the moon around us, lie beside you skin on skin.
Make love till the sun comes up till the sun goes down again.

I need you.
Like a needle needs a vain.
Like Uncle Joe in Oklahoma needs rain.
Oh I need you.
Like a lighthouse on the coast.
Like the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost.
I need you.
Ooohh I need you.

I wanna drink that shot of whiskey.
I wanna smoke that cigarette.
You know some cowboys like me go out like that.

Steel Magnolia - Homespun love

Homespun love, yeah

You spun your spell back a Sunday or two
I ain't never met nobody like the likes of you
Oh, you got me preaching the news

You turned out my road and decided to stay
And I took a like into your smile and your hillbilly way
Oh, and how you kiss on my face

I got a bonny good feeling
You're the star of the good ol' days

Well, I still remember you came by my trailer
With some chicken legs and some homemade wine
The dogs go to barking when we get to sparking
We almost set the house on fire

I get a bad heave from helping
All the stuff I get a hungerin' for
Honey your homespun love
Keeps me coming back for more

I like the flamingos you stuck in your yard
Oh, and I like the notions
That you stick in my head and my heart
Oh, and how you fix on my car

Well, I reckon I'm lucky
You're the best thing I found so far

I still remember you came by my trailer
With some chicken legs and homemade wine
The dogs go to barking when we get to sparking
We almost set the house on fire

I get a bad heave from helping
All the stuff I get a hungerin' for
Honey your homespun love
Keeps me coming back for more
Honey your homespun love
Keeps me coming back for more

Honey your homespun love
Baby, your homespun love

Steel Magnolia - Here comes love ooh la la

Yeah
Mmmmmm, yeah
Shes just minding her own business
Come on, woooh

She wandered by, taking her time, shed stop to window shop
Saw his reflection in the glass, he passed his eyes on me
If you've got something to say girl, don't walk away girl, give me a good reaction
If you've got something to say boy, I ain't got all day boy, go ahead ask me a question

[Chorus]
Oooh la la la Oooh la la la Oooh la la la
OHHHHHHHHHHH
Here Comes love
La la la Oooh La La La Oooh La La La
OHHHHHHHHHHH

A hustle here, a bustle there, the sidewalk ends, you disappear
Into a crowded street, where bright lights meet, we never will.
If you've got something to say girl, ain't got all day girl, I can't get no satisfaction.
If you've got something to say boy, don't walk away boy, give me a good reaction.

[Chorus]
Oooh la la la Oooh la la la Oooh la la la
OHHHHHHHHHHH
Here Comes love
La la la Oooh La La La Oooh La La La
OHHHHHHHHHHH

I do believe in god above (Ooooooh yeaaaaaah)
Cause heaven sent the one I love (OHHHHHH)
Don't wanna be lonely (Lonely)
Don't wanna be lonely (Oh Lonely)
Don't wanna be lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, OHHHHHHHHH

If you've got something to say girl, don't walk away girl, give me a good reaction
If you've got something to say boy, I ain't got all day boy, go ahead ask me a question

[Chorus]
Oooh la la la Oooh la la la Oooh la la la
OHHHHHHHHHHH
Here Comes love
La la la Oooh La La La Oooh La La La
OHHHHHHHHHHH
Here Comes Love

Steel Magnolia - Glass house


There's a killer, there's a killer
There's a killer coming down
It sounds just like a whisper
From the corner of her pretty miles
You can't run like this forever
Your engine will break down
Besides that snowy river
That leaves into the ground

You're building glass houses on the sand
Then you stand around and shake your head
When they all fall down

Some damage here, some damage there
Something's lost, but nothing's found
You just build yourself another
A little further down

There's a murder, there's a murder
There's a murder going mad
It happens all 'round you
But no one makes a sound
Cause you're the one who's dying
You handle me so proud
Besides that snowy river
That knows you, knows my half

You're building glass houses on the sand
Then you stand around and shake your head
When they all fall down

Some damage here, some damage there
Something's lost, but nothing's found
You just build yourself another
A little further down

You just build yourself another one
A little further down

Steel Magnolia - Fast as you

Maybe someday I'll be strong.
Maybe it won't be long.
I'll be the one who's tough.
You'll be the one who's got it rough,
It won't be long and maybe I'll be real strong.

Maybe I'll do things right.
Maybe I'll start tonight.
You'll learn to cry like me.
Baby, let's just wait and see.
Maybe I'll start tonight and do things right.

You'll control me,
Oh so boldly.
Rule me 'til I'm free.
'Til the pain that shakes me,
Finally makes me,
Get up off of my knees.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Maybe I'll be fast as you.
Maybe I'll break hearts too.
But, I think that you'll slow down.
When your turn to hurt comes around.
Maybe I'll break hearts and be as fast as you.

Uh.

You'll control me,
Oh so boldly.
Rule me 'til I'm free.
'Til the pain that shakes me,
Finally makes me,
Get up off of my knees.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Maybe I'll be fast as you.
Maybe I'll break hearts too.
But, I think that you'll slow down.
When your turn to hurt comes around.
Maybe I'll break hearts and be as fast as you.

Ah, So good.

Yeah, maybe I'll be fast as you.
Maybe I'll break hearts too.

Steel Magnolia - Eggs over easy

Cookin' you breakfast on a Sunday mornin'
I should've seen this comin'
Even without warnin'
But you look so good there
Standin' in my kitchen
You want your eggs over easy
I said "Quit your b*tchin'"

Nothing ever came easy for me
Nothing in this life is guaranteed
Now I ain't your maker
But you makin' me lazy

We missed church this morning
(Church this morning)
But baby you saved me

I never wanted anyone before
The way I want you baby
Give me more

I always wanted you to notice me
But now you're waking over next to me
And I, I cannot believe it

Patty and Rufus are layin' their beggin'
We got the canine crew y'all
You know what I'm saying

Nothing ever came easy for me
Nothing in this life is guaranteed
I'm cookin' you breakfast on a Sunday mornin'

Steel Magnolia - Edge of goodbye

It took about a dozen quarters, half an hour, two minutes
Twenty seven seconds to get through to you
And before I even had the chance to finish half a sentence
She was spoutin, spittin, didn't wanna listen
Nothing I can ever say or do will ever be enough for you

Cause you made up your mind, yeah I made up my mind
You're gonna say shoo fly don't bother me
Baby

[Chorus]
At the edge of goodbye there are always two sides
That cut like a knife, no wrong and no right
When you're standing on the edge of goodbye

You're calling me at two a.m. I know you're whiskied up again
And I don't really wanna have to deal with this again
You say I never gave you half a snowball's chance in hell
Oh well I know I didn't kiss and stop you're bitching
Even if I had it's none your business, will you ever learn
It's no concern to you

Cause I made up mind, so you made up your mind
Don't need no reason why, gonna hang up the phone
Baby

[Chorus]
So you made up your mind, yeah I made up my mind
You gonna say shoo fly, gonna hang up the phone

[Chorus]

Steel Magnolia - Bulletproof

Got a new Toyota,
Traded in the hatchback
Can't make the payment,
But I'm not worried 'bout that
Cause I'm bulletproof

Went and got my hair cut,
Got a tattoo
Nothin' lady-like
Wasn't even thinkin' 'bout you
Cause I'm bulletproof

Well I could stand in the middle of a thunderstorm
Holding a lightning rod on your roof
This could never shatter me,
Don't smother me with sympathy
What makes you think I'm not over you?
Oh, I'm bulletproof

Gonna learn to drink me, some tequila
Light up a Marlboro Red
Dance myself brand new
In my high heels shoes

Well I could stand in the middle of a thunderstorm
Holding a lightning rod on your roof
This could never shatter me,
Don't smother me with sympathy
What makes you think I'm not over you?
Oh, I'm bulletproof

Yeah are you boys lined up
Kiss me for a quarter
I'll be a freak show, hero
Shoot me down if you wanna
Cause this fragile little girl's
Got a new suit of armor

Well I could stand in the middle of a thunderstorm
Holding a lightning rod on your roof
This could never shatter me,
Don't smother me with sympathy
What makes you think I'm not over you?
Oh, this could never shatter me,
Don't smother me with sympathy
What makes you think I'm not over you?
Oh, I'm bulletproof
(Bulletproof)
I'm bulletproof
