George Strait - Chronicles (2006) by George Strait (보컬) on maniadb.com

Oh how you sparkle
And oh how you shine
The flush on your cheeks
Is more than the wine

And he must do something
That I didn't do
Whatever he's doing
It looks good on you

You look so good in love,
You want him
That's easy to see
You look so good in love
I wish you still wanted me

He must have stolen
The stars from the sky
And gave them to you
To wear in your eyes

I had my chances
But I set you free
And now I wonder
why I couldn't see

You look so good in love,
you want him
It's easy to see
You look so good in love
I wish you still wanted me

(spoken)
Darling I've wasted a lot of years not seeing the real you
But tonight your beauty is shining through,
And I never took the time to let you know
So before he takes you awayplease let me say

You look so good in love,
You want him
Its easy to see
You look so good in Love,
I wish you still wanted me

Right or wrong, I'll always love you.
Though you're gone, I can't forget.
Right or wrong, I'll keep on dreaming.
Still, I wake with that same ol' regret.
All along I knew I'd lose you,
Though I prayed that you'd be true.
In your heart please just remember
Right or wrong, I'm still in love with you.

Right or wrong, I'll always love you.
Though you're gone, I can't forget.
Right or wrong, I'll keep on dreaming.
Still, I wake with that same ol' regret.
All along I knew I'd lose you,
Though I prayed that you'd be true.
In your heart please just remember
Right or wrong, I'm still in love with you...

I used to like
Making love then
Getting up
And never having to explain
I've always been free
I never could see me
Dragin' no ball and chain
I like running around
And being tied down
Never was my cup of tea
But since I've been holding an angel
A little heaven's rubbing off on me

And I'm beginning to like just sittin' and holding hands
Looking into her eyes I'm thinking about future plans
And then I get the feeling that the life that I'd been leading ain't all it's cracked up to be
Since I've been holding an angel
A little heaven's rubbing off on me

I used to like
To spend the night
Sittin' on an old bar stool
Drinkin' wine and killing time
With all of those other fools
But since you took my hand
I think I understand
It ain't the way it outta be
Since I've been holding an angel
A little heaven's rubbing off on me

And I'm beginning to like just sittin' and holding hands
Looking into her eyes I'm thinking about future plans
And then I get the feeling that the life that I'd been leading ain't all it's cracked up to be
Since I've been holding an angel
A little heaven's rubbing off on me

Since I've been holding an angel
A little heaven's rubbing off on me...

You ain't never fell as far as when you fall in love
Except the fall you take when you've been loved and given up
When you have your heart and soul rubbed into the dirt
An 80-proof bottle of tear-stopper will take away the hurt

Give me an 80-proof bottle of tear-stopper
And I'll start feeling I forgot her
Get a little loose and lose her memory
And I won't think I'm close to dying
Because it dries up all my crying
An 80-proof bottle of tear-stopper always sets me free

It ain't easy losing love although it's turned out bad
All at once you're turning off old feelings you once had
But I found a helping hand right here in my hand
And 80-proof bottle of tear-stopper will help me take 'em out

Give me an 80-proof bottle of tear-stopper
And I'll start feeling I forgot her
Get a little loose and lose her memory
And I won't think I'm close to dying
Because it dries up all my crying
An 80-proof bottle of tear-stopper always sets me free

Every time my ship comes in
A hurricane blows it out again
Stormy weather seems to hang around my door
My sweet bird of paradise
Flew the coop on me last night
Oh, and every time it rains, Lord don't it pour

I got a letter from the I.R.S
They said, son, you're in a hell of a mess
Our computer shows you owe ten-thousand more
That machine's made a bad mistake
'Cause that's more than this poor boy makes
Oh, and every time it rains, Lord don't it pour

Every time it rains I just wash my car
The whole neighbourhood goes
Swimmin' in my front yard
Well, my mother-in-law says she's
Stayin' three weeks more
Oh, and every time it rains, Lord don't it pour

Just got my car out of the shop
Two blocks down the street it stopped
I went to use the telephone at the grocery store
I walked back to my Chevrolet
But they towed that sucker away
Oh, and every time it rains, Lord don't it pour

Every time it rains I just wash my car
The whole neighbourhood goes ]
Swimmin' in my front yard
Well, my mother-in-law says she's
Stayin' three weeks more
Oh, and every time it rains, Lord don't it pour
Well, every time it rains, Lord don't it pour

Pardon me you left your tears on the jukebox
And I'm afraid they got mixed up with mine
I don't mean to pry it's just that I noticed you, goin out of your mind
It look like we're two of a kind

Let's fall to pieces together
Why should we both fall apart
Let's fall to pieces together
Right here in each other's arms

Alone is much better together
When the worst is still yet to come
So let's share the rest of the tears that are left
From two hearts that just came undone
Why should we go crazy alone

Let's fall to pieces together
Why should we both fall apart
Let's fall to pieces together
Right here in each other's arms

Let's fall to pieces together, right here, in each other's arms

You don't dress up in satin,
You don't wear diamond rings,
But I'm satisfied with you.
You look just like an angel
But you haven't got wings,
But, I'm satisfied with you.

I'd rather have you just the way that you are
Than change you for somebody new.
Maybe I could do better if I reach for the star,
But, I'm satisfied with you.

You're not made of candy
But you're sweet as you can be,
So I'm satisfied with you.
I just can't see no reason
Why you bother with me,
But, I'm satisfied with you.

I often wonder if it's all a mistake,
It's hard to believe that it's true,
But if I'm only dreaming,
I sure don't want to wake
'Cause, I'm satisfied with you.

I'd rather have you just the way that you are
Than change you for somebody new.
Maybe I could do better if I reach for the star,
But, I'm satisfied with you.

But, I'm satisfied with you...

Lady, I know your out there, somewhere
Like me your feeling lost
Maybe right now we both need each other
But our paths may never cross.

People like us never find each other
Love is our greatest loss
Baby I know you are out there somewhere
But our paths may never cross.

We're to people that should be together
'Cause we're lonely at the very same time
But there's a million too many good reasons
Why your love can never be mine.

Maybe this song was written for you
Listen, don't turn it off
I wish you could learn it and come sing it with me
But our paths may never cross.

I wish you could learn it and come sing it with me
But our paths may never cross...

Fifteen years together
We climbed by work and will
From a simple two room cottage
To a mansion on the hill
Now, there's roses in the garden
But it's the coldest place in town
It took Fifteen years, goin' up
And one night comin' down

Fifteen years of heaven
For one short night of sin
From blue skies forever
To an end
From out on a mountain
To both knees on the ground
Fifteen years, goin' up
And one night comin' down

Her dreams have all been shattered
Her faith in me is gone
My tears tell her, I'm sorry
But they can't right my wrong
One night wrote my story
How a man can lose it all
After Fifteen years goin' up
It's hard to take a fall

Fifteen years of heaven
For one short night of sin
From blue skies forever
To an end
From high on a mountain
To both knees on the ground
Fifteen years, goin' up
And one night comin' down

I've been, fifteen years goin' up
And one night comin' down...

Cold Fort Worth beer just ain't no good for jealous.
I try it night after night.
You're in someone else's arms in Dallas.
Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind?
Darlin' while you're busy burning bridges,
Burn one for me if you get time.
'Cause good memories don't fade so easy.
Does Fort Worth ever cross you mind?

You left me here to be with him in Dallas,
And I know it hurt you at the time.
But I wonder now if it makes a difference.
Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind?

You left me here to be with him in Dallas,
And I know it hurt you at the time.
But I wonder now if it makes a difference.
Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind?

Does Fort Worth ever, does Fort Worth ever,
Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind?

Any old time you get lonely,
Nights get cold or love is blue,
Just snuggle up honey;
You're my one and only,
Any old time, I'm here for you.

Pay no mind to the hour
Or how far away you may be.
Any old time you can find me,
Drop in a dime and there I'll be.

Any old time you start missin'
Somebody to hold, to keep you company,
I'll be willin' when you want my kissin',
Any old time, just call on me.

Pay no mind to the hour
Or how far away you may be.
Any old time you can find me,
Drop in a dime and there I'll be...

Your out there somewhere and your crying
And I love you though we've never met
Wait there for me, I'll recognize you
Someone lonesome, someone hurtin', someone blue,
That'll be you.

We'll help each other start all over
A tear for a tear
A shoulder for a shoulder
You'll be someone that's born to lose
'Cause I need someone like me
To hold on too.

We'll help each other start all over
A tear for a tear
A shoulder for a shoulder
You'll be someone that's born to lose
'Cause I need someone like me
To hold on too

'Cause I need someone like me
To hold on too...

As I waltz in the arms of somebody new
Could it be what I feel may be too much too soon
But the way that you touch me, I want to give in
It's not so easy holding you when..

You're dancing this dance all wrong
New steps don't come easy
When old memories hang on
I'm finding I'm falling as the music plays on
Keep dancing this dance all wrong.

A new partner's touch to an old partner's song
I'm getting the feeling as we dance along
Two strangers tonight won't be strangers for long
Keep dancing this dance all wrong.

You're dancing this dance all wrong
New steps don't come easy
When old memories hang on
I'm finding I'm falling as the music plays on
Keep dancing this dance all wrong.

You're dancing this dance all wrong
New steps don't come easy
When old memories hang on
I'm finding I'm falling as the music plays on
Keep dancing this dance all wrong...

Angels and devils share the same tables
And that's not so wrong if you get it done right.
Halos and horns lock up on the dance floor
On a honkytonk Saturday night.

It's a honkytonk Saturday night,
It's not who is who, it's who will or who might.
With luck she'll turn on 'fore they turn out the lights
On a honkytonk Saturday night.

I played the jukebox, I played some Merle Haggard,
Me and the waitress think he's outta' sight.
Then some folks got thirsty while we were dancin'
On a honkytonk Saturday night.

It's a honkytonk Saturday night,
It's not who is who, it's who will or who might.
With luck I'll turn her on 'fore they turn out the lights
On a honkytonk Saturday night.

With luck, I'll take her home 'fore they turn out the lights
On a honkytonk Saturday night...

I once had a love, a true and lasting love,
But the fool in me came out one night.
And with her loving eyes she saw right through my lies,
And she changed the night I stepped across the line.

I should have watched that first step,
It was a mighty big step when I started steppin' out of line.
Though she's still lovin' me, it's not the way it used to be.
That first step did something to her mind.

I watched her slip away a little more every day,
And my conscience couldn't live with all that pain.
She's growing colder since the day I told her,
And the love we had will never be the same.

I should have watched that first step,
It was a mighty big step when I started steppin' out of line.
Though she's still lovin' me, it's not the way it used to be.
That first step did something to her mind,

That first step did something to her mind...

When things get bad at home,
You don't feel like being alone,
And you find yourself inclined
To look around.
For the feelings we once shared
Are just no longer there,
And love comes from
The other side of town.

Chorus:
Where love means just an hour with your stand in,
And not an empty house where love just has been.
Since everything we've built with love
Was not on solid ground,
Now love comes from the other side of town.

--- Instrumental ---

The life I'm livin' now
Just don't seem right somehow,
But it's the best way to get by
That I've found.
There's no love left at home,
We're both just hangin' on,
And love comes from
The other side of town.

Chorus:
Where love means just an hour with your stand in,
And not an empty house where love just has been.
Since everything we've built with love
Was not on solid ground,
Now love comes from the other side of town.

Love comes from the other side of town...

I knew the stakes were high right from the start
And when she dealt the cards I dealt my heart
Now I just found a game that I can't play
And this is where the cowboy rides away

And my heart is sinking like the setting sun
Setting on the things I wish I'd done
It's time to say goodbye to yesterday
And this is where the cowboy rides away

We've been in and out of love and in-between
And now we play the final show-down scene
And as the credits roll a sad song starts to play
And this is where the cowboy rides away

And my heart is sinking like the setting sun
Setting on the things I wish I'd done
Oh the last goodbye's the hardest one to say
And this is where the cowboy rides away

Oh the last goodbye's the hardest one to say
And this is where the cowboy rides away

Sometimes I smile
When you stayed home for awhile
What did you expect me to do
I always cry each time you told a lie
What did you expect me to do?

Each time I forgave you, you grew bolder
And each time you hurt me my heart grew colder
Sure, I love you but I found someone new
What did you expect me to do?

Each time I forgave you, you grew bolder
And each time you hurt me my heart grew colder
Sure, I love you but I found someone new
What did you expect me to do?

Yeah, they call me the Fireman,
That's my name.
Makin' my rounds all over town
Puttin' out old flames.
Well everybody'd like to have what I got,
I can cool 'em down when their smolderin' hot.
I'm the Fireman,
That's my name.

Last night we had a bad one a mile or two down the road,
Yeah my buddy walked out and left his woman burnin' outta control.
Well I was down their in 'bout an hour or so,
With a little mouth to mouth she was ready to go.
I'm the Fireman,
That's my name.

Yeah, they call me the Fireman,
That's my name.
Makin' my rounds all over town
Puttin' out old flames.
Well everybody'd like to have what I got,
I can cool 'em down when their smolderin' hot.
I'm the Fireman,
That's my name.

I got a fire engine red, T-Bird automobile,
In a minute or less I can be dress fit to kill.
I work twenty four on and twenty four off,
If they get too hot they just give me a call.
I'm the Fireman,
That's my name.

Yeah, they call me the Fireman,
That's my name.
Makin' my rounds all over town
Puttin' out old flames.
Well everybody'd like to have what I got,
I can cool 'em down when their smolderin' hot.
I'm the Fireman,
That's my name.

As I hold you close tonight, hear what I say.
There's no doubt, it's love alright
'Cause I've never felt this way.
An angel's what you are, and now I see
You're not just someone else, you're something special to me.

Every man has a dream and you made mine come true.
How it happened I don't know or care.
I'm just happy I found you.
Wrapped in the arms of love is where I'll be
For all the world to see you're something special to me.

Every man has a dream and you made mine come true.
How it happened I don't know or care.
I'm just happy I found you.
Wrapped in the arms of love is where I'll be
For all the world to see you're something special to me.

It's all such a mystery, you're something special to me.

I'm seeing you for the last time.
You've been untrue for the last time.
I know that you've been usin' me for a past time.
It's the last time the first time for me.

I found you and that love for the first time.
When I caught you cheatin' me it was my worst time.

I'm seein' you for the last time.
I've been a fool for the last time.
You only strung along with me for a past time.
It's the last time the first time for me.

I found you and that love for the first time.
When I caught you cheatin' me it was my worst time.

I'm seein' you for the last time.
I've been a fool for the last time.
You only strung along with me for a past time.
It's the last time the first time,
The first time it's the last time,
The last time the first time for me...

Ain't love a strain, ain't it a pain in your heart
I ain't worth the trouble anyhow
I'd like to give it up, I've had enough and I've done my part
But I'm in too deep to pull out now

Good things we've had are going bad and I don't know why
I'd turn it around if I knew how
I'm pushing aside all my pride and it's worth a try
'Cause I'm in too deep to pull out now

We need to get our love back on its feet again
We've come too far to let it come to an end

What can I do, I'm into you up over my heart
I've tried all that I know how
Doing all I can and I can't stand to see us fall apart
And I'm in too deep to pull out now

I can't step aside and let you slide right out of my life
It would cause more hurt than the law allows
I'll get us back on the track and it'll be allright
'Cause I'm in too deep to pull out now
'Cause I'm in too deep to pull out now

I've never once in my life
Met someone like you
I don't know what the word blue means
As long as I'm with you

You fill me so completely
Through everything you do
Blue is not a word at all
As long as I'm with you

Most of the time in my past
Blue was all I knew
But now that we're together
Oh, how I love you

I'm so glad I've found you
You've made my dreams come true
Blue is not a word at all
As long as I'm with you

Most of the time in my past
Blue was all I knew
But now that we're together
Oh, how I love you

I'm so glad I've found you
You've made my dreams come true
Blue is not a word at all
As long as I'm with you...

Oh, I recall some barroom brawls,
That I got myself into
Just a stich or two,
Got me back together
But, what's it take to ease the ache,
That came with losing you
I thought I was tough,
But goodbye is too much
This healing is taking forever

Woman you sure got this old redneck feeling blue
Whats going on inside me I ain't used to going through
This ol country boys hillbilly heart is breaking in two
Yea, you sure got this old redneck feeling blue

I've never seen anything,
Hit me quite like this
You know the pain and lonliness
It keeps hanging with me
Oh, this good time joe,
He took quite a blow
Oh, why'd you call it quits,
It'll take some time
To mend my mind,
And put me out of my misery

Woman, you sure left this old redneck feelin' blue
Whats going on inside me I ain't used to going through
This ol country boys hillbilly heart is breaking in two
Yea, you sure got this old redneck feeling blue.

Woman.
Yea, you sure got this old redneck feeling blue...

Well, excuse me, but I think you've got my chair.
No, that one's not taken; I don't mind if you sit here.
I'll be glad to share.
Yeah, it's usually packed here on Friday nights.
Oh, if you don't mind, could I talk you out of a light?
Well, thank you, could I drink you a buy?
Oh, listen to me. What I mean is can I buy you a drink?
Anything you please.
Oh, you're welcome. Well, I don't think I caught your name.
Are you waiting for someone to meet you here?
Well, that makes two of us, glad you came.
No, I don't know the name of the band.
But they're good, aren't they?
Would you like to dance?
Yeah, I like this song too, it reminds me of you and me, baby.
Do you think there's a chance that later on I could drive you home?
No, I don't mind at all.
Oh, I like you too, and to tell you the truth,
That wasn't my chair after all.
Oh, I like you too, and to tell you the truth,
That wasn't my chair after all.

That wasn't my chair after all (fades out).

It's dance time in Texas
And were striking up the band
Let's go honky tonkin'
Honey, take my hand
It's dance time in Texas
Where the wine and music flows
We'll do that texas two step
And that old cotton eyed Joe

I'll take you honky tonkin'
In my old pick up truck
It's dance time in Texas
And the music lifts you up

It's dance time in Texas
And were striking up the band
We'll go honky tonkin'
Honey, take my hand
It's dance time in Texas
Where the wine and music flows
We'll do that Texas two step
And that old cotton eyed Joe

Now it's time for a slow dance
And we're waltzing oh, so close
It's dance time in Texas
And your the one I love the most

It's dance time in Texas
And were striking up the band
Let's go honky tonkin'
Honey, take my hand
It's dance time in texas
Where the wine and music flows
We'll do that Texas two step
And that old cotton eyed Joe...

A jukebox introduced us
When the 60's were still young,
If you got the money,
Honey got my nickels one by one,
I tried to imatate that song,
It's not right but lefty's gone,
Now always late breaks my heart
And every song he sang I played the part,
I heard he was sad and lived alone,
It's not right but lefty's gone.

He played the fair in dallas one year
In the cold october rain,
Most folks stayed home in one
But he sang just the same,
I caught a chill before I got home,
It's not right but lefty's gone,
Now always late breaks my heart
And every song he sang I played the part,
I heard he was sad and lived alone,
It's not right but lefty's gone.

It don't seem like he was around that long,
It's not right but lefty's gone...
