She stayed up all night
And cried into her pillow And fought off the urge To just break down and call Last night the fight, the fall Seemed so darned easy But now who's to blame Don't matter much at all She thinks if she calls him It just shows weakness So the hurt goes on With every tear she's cried Ain't it sad to see A good love fall to pieces? Chalk another heartbreak up To foolish pride [CHORUS] Turn out the lights The competition's over The stubborn souls Are the losers here tonight And while the bridges burn Another hard, hard lesson's learned As in the ashes Passion slowly dies And this romance goes down To foolish pride He relives every word They spoke in anger He walks the floor And punches out the wall To apologize to her Would be so simple But instead he cries "I'll be damned if I call" If he loses her He's lost his best friend And more than just A lover can provide So he wrestles with emotions That defeat him Chalk another love lost up To foolish pride [REPEAT CHORUS] Chalk another love lost up To foolish pride Yeah |

There was a time
I could drink my cares away And drown out all of the heartaches That hurt me night and day When the thought of you Came crashin' through I'd have one more But now the whiskey ain't workin' anymore CHORUS: I need one good honky-tonk angel To turn my life around That's reason enough for me to lay this ol' bottle down A woman warm and willin' That's what I'm lookin' for 'Cause the whiskey ain't workin' anymore They knew my name At every bar in town And they knew all of the reasons Why I was comin' 'round 'Cause in my mind Peace I'd find When they'd start to pour But now the whiskey ain't workin' anymore REPEAT CHORUS Lord the whiskey ain't workin' anymore That's for sure! |

Baby, close that suitcase you've been packing
Just sit down and talk to me awhile I know you tried to tell me what was lacking But I guess I must've missed it by a mile Well, this time, girl, I swear to you I'll listen Help me understand where I went wrong It's hard to find myself in this position Scared that I'll go crazy once you're gone [CHORUS] Help me hold on To what we have Once our love was strong It can be again You said it takes two To make love last You were right all along So help me hold on What've I got to do to make it better? What've I got to do to make you see? That even though I promised you forever I never knew how hard that would be I realize I took your love for granted But I've learned that love worth having don't come free And I'll pay any price it takes to keep you Satisfied and staying here with me [REPEAT CHORUS X 2] You were right all along... So help me hold on |

I know living with me ain't always easy
I dam up emotions some men just let flow But girl when you're not by my side I feel a part of me has died 'Cause I love you more than you'll ever know More than life more than I've ever loved before It's absurd and beyond words I couldn't want you more And when I try to pour my hear out to you I'm not sure it shows That I love you more than you'll ever know I'm sure you've heard it said hearts have windows But mine has doors a painful past has closed Unless someday they open wide revealing feelings locked inside I'll love you more than you'll ever know More than life more than I've ever loved before It's absurd and beyond words I couldn't want you more And when I try to pour my hear out to you I'm not sure it shows That I love you more than you'll ever know Even when I pour my heart out to you I'm not sure it shows That I love you more than you'll ever know Yes I love you more than you'll ever know |

Now you're sorry, you're lonesome and scared And you say you'd be happy if I you could just come back home Well, here's a quarter, call someone who cares Call someone who'll listen, or might give a damn Maybe one of your sorted affairs But don't you come 'round here handin' me none of your lies Here's a quarter, call someone who cares Girl, I thought what we had could never turn bad So your leavin' caught me unaware But the fact is you've run...girl, that can't be undone So here's a quarter, call someone who cares Call someone who'll listen, or might give a damn Maybe one of your sorted affairs But don't you come 'round here handin' me none of your lies Here's a quarter, call someone who cares Yeah, here's a quarter, call someone who cares |

I took a double take out on the interstate When I saw her makin' eyes at me So I followed her down - the clubhouse drive Past the pool on the 18th green In the parkin' lot...I said it's mighty hot Maybe I could buy you a beer She said I'm glad you asked...but I'll have to pass Cause only members are allowed in here...and I said Well I'm a member of a country club Country music is what I love I drive an old Ford pick-up truck I do my drink-in from a dixie cup Yea I'm a bona-fide dancin' fool I shoot a mighty mean game of pool At any honky-tonk roadside pub I'm a member of a country club You look so invitin'...thought it might be excitin' For a woman with a limousine To go bouncin around...in a beat up truck With a man...in wore out jeans It's five o'clock before Friday night Here's where the fun begins So don't worry 'bout your reputation Cause you can tell all your friends Well I'm a member of a country club Country music is what I love I drive an old Ford pick-up truck I do my drink-in from a dixie cup Yea I'm a bona-fide dancin' fool I shoot a mighty mean game of pool At any honky-tonk roadside pub I'm a member of a country club Well I'm a member of a country club Country music is what I love I drive an old Ford pick-up truck I do my drink-in from a dixie cup Yea I'm a bona-fide dancin' fool I shoot a mighty mean game of pool At any honky-tonk roadside pub I'm a member of a country club |

Bobby played his guitar on the harder side of town
Where it's hard for the poor boy to find the money He had dedication, he had the heart and soul Somehow knew he was born to play People said "Get a real job, support your family 'Cause there's no future in the road you're taking" He never said a word, the dreamer just kept on But late at night you could hear him say He said "I'm gonna be somebody One of these days I'm gonna break these chains I'm gonna be somebody someday You could bet your hard earned dollar I will The road was a struggle, took him ten years to the top Now he's #1 on the stage and the radio Still he can't believe how they come from miles around When it only seems like yesterday he was sayin' "I'm gonna be somebody One of these days I'm fonna break these chains I'm gonna be somebody someday You could bet your hard earned dollar I will" Bobby played his hometown one full moon August night When he heard a voice in the front row singin' It was a sandy- haired Rebel boy with the same old hungry eyes Looked up at Bobby and said "I'm gonna be somebody One of these days I'm gonna break these chains I'm gonna be somebody someday You could bet your hard earned dollar I will" Mmmmmm "I'm gonna be somebody One of these days I'm gonna break these chains I'm gonna be somebody You could bet your hard earned dollar I will" Oh, yes I will You could bet your hard earned dollar I will |

when you meet that certain someone
you've been searchin hard to find its a new love full of passion that can sometimes make you blind and I dont mind being swept away if I know right from the start so before we go much further girl can I trust you with my heart course: can I cast my cares upon you can you stand a heavy load can I count on you to walk me down that long and winding road if you promise me these simple things I can guarantee you can always count on me in all the years I've known you girl I've learned to trust in you so many things you given before I even asked you to but reality and romance can sometimes fall apart what I really need to know is can I trust you with my heart (repeat course) what I really need to know is can I trust you with my heart |

I can't Hide the way I feel about you anymoreI can't hold the hurt inside keep the pain out of my eyes AnymoreMy tears no longer waiting, My resistance ain't that strongMy mind keeps recreating a life with you aloneAnd I'm tried of pretending I don't love you anymoreLet me make one last appeal to show you how I feel About you Mm hmCause there's no one else I swear holds a candle anywhere next to you Mm hmMy heart can't take the beating, not having you to holdA small voice keeps repeating deep inside my soulIt says I can't keep pretending I don't love you anymoreI've got to take the chance or let it pass byIf I expect to get on with my lifeMy tears no longer waiting, Oh My resistance ain't that strongOh My mind keeps recreating a love with you aloneAnd I'm tried of pretending I don't love you anymore, Anymore, Anymore

As I sit here surrounded, By people and lights Along with my drink at the bar You?ve been here forever, So clear in my mind I just don?t know where you are But I know I?ll find you, But girl till I do This is my love song for you Let?s hold hands on the porch swing Under the moon While the wind through the willows Plays us a tune We can lie on a blanket, Out back in the yard And wish for our future On a far away star And you?ll feel the passion, As time after time I press your sweet lips to mine We can dance to the radio, Right up till dawn Till you drift off To dream in my arms You might be hundreds, Or more miles away Or you might be just down the street But there?ll be a hunger, Deep in your eyes That I?ll recognize when we meet It might take hours, Or it might talk years But this is the song you will hear Let?s hold hands on the porch swing Under the moon While the wind through the willows Plays us a tune We can lie on a blanket, Out back in the yard And wish for our future On a far away star And you?ll feel the passion, As time after time I press your sweet lips to mine We can dance to the radio, Right up till dawn Till you drift off To dream in my arms And you?ll feel the passion As time after time I press your sweet lips to mine We can dance to the radio, Right up till dawn Till you drift off To dream in my arms |

All around I hear the sound of money But I ain't got a nickel to my name And everywhere I look I see temptation She stands on every corner and calls my name Won't you tell me if you can Cause life's so hard to understand Why's the rich man busy dancing While the poor man pays the band Oh they're billing me for killing me Lord have mercy on the working man Uncle Sam's got his hands in my pockets And he helps himself each time he needs a dime Them politicians treat me like a mushroom Cause they feed me bull and keep me in the blind Repeat Chorus Hey St. Peter look down for a minute And see this little man about to drown There's quicksand all around and man I'm in it Please help me up Lord cause I'm going down Won't you tell me if you can Cause life's so hard to understand Why's the rich man busy dancing While the poor man pays the band Oh they're billing me for killing me Lord have mercy on the working man Won't you tell me if you can Cause life's so hard to understand Why's the fat man busy dancing While the thin man pays the band Oh they're billing me for killing me Lord have mercy on the working man Please Lord have mercy on the working man Please Lord have mercy on the working man |
