All he could think about was, I'm too young for this
Got my whole life ahead, hell I'm just a kid myself How'm I gonna raise one All he could see were his dreams, goin' up in smoke So much for ditchin' this town, and hangin' out on the coast Oh well, those plans are long gone, and he said There goes my life There goes my future, my everything Might as well kiss it all goodbye There goes my life A couple years of up all night and a, few thousand diapers later That mistake he thought he made, covers up the refrigerator Oh yeah, he loves that little girl Mamas waitin' to tuck her in, as she fumbles up those stairs She smile back at him, draggin' that teddy bear Sleep tight, blue eyes and bouncin' curls, and he smiles There goes my life There goes my future, my everything I love you, daddy good night There goes my life She has that Honda loaded down, with Abercrombie clothes And fifteen pairs of shoes, and his American Express He checked the oil slammed the hood, and said you're good to go She hugged 'em both, and headed off to the West Coast And he cried There goes my life There goes my future, my everything I love you Baby good bye There goes my life There goes my life Baby, good bye Baby, good bye There goes my life |

Jack and Diane painted a picture of my life and my dreams
Suddenly this crazy world made more sense to me Well, I heard it today and I couldn't help but sing along 'Cause every time I hear that song. I go back to a two toned short bed Chevy Driving my first love out to the levee Livin' life with no sense of time I go back to the feel of a fifty yard line A blanket, a girl, some raspberry wine Wishin' time would stop right in its tracks Every time I hear that song, I go back I go back. Well, I used to rock all night long To Keep On Rocking Me, Baby At frat parties, college bars, just trying to impress the ladies Well, I heard it today and I couldn't help but sing along 'Cause everytime I hear that song. I go back to the smell of an old gym floor The taste of salt on a Carolina shore After graduation and drinkin' goodbye to friends I go back to watchin' summer fade to fall Growin' up too fast and I do recall Wishing time would stop right in it's tracks Everytime I hear that song, I go back I go back. We all have a song that's somehow stamped our lives That takes us to another place and time. So, I go back to a pew, preacher and a choir Singin' 'bout God and brimstone and fire And the smell of Sunday chicken after church I go back to the loss of a real good friend And the sixteen summers I shared with him Now, Only The Good Die Young stops me in my tracks Everytime I hear that song, I go back I go back. To the feel of a fifty yard line A blanket, a girls, and some raspberry wine I go back To watching summer fade to fall Growing up too fast and I do recall I go back To the loss of a real good friend And the sixteen summers I shared with him I go back. I go back... |

Sun tanned toes ticklin' the sand
Cold drink chillin' in my right hand Watchin' you sleep in the evening light Restin' up for a long, long night. 'Cause when the sun goes down, we'll be groovin' When the sun goes down, we'll be feelin' all right When the sun sinks down, over the water Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down. Yeah! All day long just takin' it easy Layin' in the hammock where it's nice and breezy Sleepin' off the night before 'Cause when the sun goes down, we'll be back for more. When the sun goes down, we'll be groovin' When the sun goes down, we'll be feelin' alright When the sun sinks down, over the water Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down. This old guitar and my dark sunglasses The sweet concoction is smooth as molasses Nothing to do but breathe all day Until the big moon rises and it's time to play. When the sun goes down, we'll be groovin' When the sun goes down, we'll be feelin' alright When the sun sinks down, over the water Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down. When the sun goes down, we'll be groovin' When the sun goes down, we'll be feelin' all right When the sun sinks down, over the water She thinks Cracker's sexy when the sun goes down. (Other versions may have the Chorus sang 1-2-3 more times) Mmm-Mmm-Mmm We'll be feelin' alright When the sun sinks down, over the water Uncle Kenny's hotter when the sun goes down. When the sun goes down, we'll be groovin' When the sun goes down. Hey, Uncle Kenny. When the sun goes down, over the water Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down... |

She hit the door 6:55
Sack full of groceries, split down the sides Can goods scattered all the way to the curb The look on her face saying, don't say a word So it's me and her, and a can of beans Sittin' there on the front porch swing The western sky all turning red Head on my shoulder, she sighed and said. I've been goffering', chaufferin', company chairman Coffee maker, copy repairman Any more there aint nothing I swear man, that I don't do. I've been jugglin', strugglin', closin' big deals Dancin' backwards in high heels And just when it feels like I can't make it through. She said, It sure is nice to just be the woman with you. She said, The girl I was with a business degree Probably wouldn't recognize me I was gonna run the bank, I was gonna run the math Now all I wanna run is a bubble bath Back then you know I had this plan Before all of this reality set in Here'd come life boy, ready or not Hey, I wanted it all and thats what I got. I've been goffering', chaufferin', company chairman Coffee maker, copy repairman Any more there ain't nothing I swear man, that I don't do I've been jugglin', strugglin', closin' big deals Dancin' backwards in high heels And just when it feels like I can't make it through She said, It sure is nice to just be the woman with you. She said, I'm goffering', chaufferin', company chairman Coffee maker, copy repairman Any more there ain't nothing I swear man, that I don't do I've been jugglin', strugglin', closin' big deals Dancin' backwards in high heels And just when it feels like I can't make it through She said.

His old man was a rebel yeller
Bad boy to the bone He'd say, Can't trust a colored feller. He'd judge them by the tone of their skin. He was raised to think like his dad Narrowminded, full of hate On the road to nowhere fast Til the grace of God got in the way. Then he saw the light and hit his knees, Cried and said a prayer Rose up a brand new man Left the old one right there. Here's to the strong Thanks to the brave Don't give up hope Some people change Against all odds Against the grain Love finds a way Some people change. She was born with her mother's habit Guess you could say it's in her blood She hates it that she's gotta have it She fills her glass up. She'd love to kill that bottle But all she could think about is A better life, a second chance And everyone she's lettin' down She throws that bottle down. Here's to the strong Thanks to the brave Don't give up hope Some people change Against all odds Against the grain Love finds a way Some people change. Thank God for those who make it Let them be the light. Some people change Here's to the strong Thanks to the brave Don't give up hope Some people change Against all odds Against the grain Love finds a way Some people change. Some people change. Some people change... |

Walkin' along beneath the lights of that miracle mile
Me and Mary makin' our way into the night You can hear the cries from the carnival rides, the pinball bells and the skee ball slots Watchin' the summer sun fall out of sight There's a warm wind comin' in, from off of the ocean Makin' its way past the hotel walls to fill the street Mary is holdin', both of her shoes in her hand Said she likes to feel the sand beneath her feet And in the mornin' I'm leavin' makin' my way back to Cleveland So tonight I hope, that I will do just fine And I don't see, how you could ever be Anything but mine There's a local band playin', at the seaside pavilion And I got just enough cash to get us in And as we are dancin', Mary's wrapping her arms around me And I can feel the sting of summer on my skin In the midst of the music, I tell her I love her And we both laugh, 'cause we know it isn't true Oh but Mary there's a summer drawin' to an end tonight And there's so much that I long to do to you But in the mornin' I'm leaving, makin' my way back to Cleveland So tonight I hope, that I will do just fine And I don't see, how you could ever be Anything but mine And in the mornin' I'm leavin' makin' my way back to Cleveland So tonight I hope, that I will do just fine And I don't see, how you could ever be Anything but mine Mary I don't see, how you could ever be Anything but mine In the mornin' I'm leavin' makin' my way back to Cleveland So tonight I hope, that I will do just fine Hey I don't see, how you could ever be Anything but mine |

We had a dog named Bocephus living in the front yard
He liked sleeping out on top of the car He drank beer out of a mason jar And he'd climb up on everyone in bed A wide frame house in a college town A bunch of people always hanging around No real problems we needed to drown But we tried our best anyway We went to class just to pass the time Back in '89 We had a keg in the closet, pizza on the floor Left over from the night before Where we were going we didn't really care We had all we ever wanted In that keg in the closet This old guitar taught me how to score Right there on that Lambda Chi porch Mary Ann taught me a little more About what one you can't have Sweatshirts and flag football Spring breaks down in Panama For a while we had it all We never dreamed it wouldn't last We went to class just to pass the time Back in '89 We had a keg in the closet, pizza on the floor Left over from the night before Where we were going we didn't really care We had all we ever wanted In that keg in the closet We all kind of went our separate ways But I swear it seems like yesterday Keg in the closet, pizza on the floor Left over from the night before Where we were going we didn't really care We had all we ever wanted In that keg in the closet |

You know sometimes me and my lady have these crazy fights
And when we do it makes me wonder if we're ever goin to get right When I think about leaving, I think about me What my life would be like if I were back to being free. Where I wanna go, what I wanna do, Wouldn't have a soul I have to answer to When I think about leaving, I think about me. You know, I gotta friend and him and his wife just couldn't see eye to eye. He had all he could stand one day and packed up and said goodbye. When I think about leavin, I think about him That little apartment 'cross town he's livin in. Got an old corvette, got a new girlfriend, But he only sees his kids every other weekend. When I think about leaving, I think about him. I never will forget her face the day she told me about her dad. How he walked out on her and her mom when she was just a kid. When I think about leavin, oh I think about her Only five years old and her heart filled up with hurt. With her little arms wrapped around his neck Sayin "Daddy where ya goin? Are you comin back?" When I think about leavin, oh I think about her. You know the truth is, most of the time things are really great. And I know we got something special. When I think about leavin, I think about us How we built this love we share on faith and trust. The honest way we talk, the tender way we touch, All those nights we spent makin' love. When I think about leavin, oh I think about us. When I think about leavin, oh I think again Even though that thought crosses my mind every now and then. In my heart I know I will never leave, There's nowhere else on earth that I would rather be When I think about leavin, I think again. When I think about leavin, When I think about leavin, When I think about leavin, I think again. |

Well I drank till I stumbled, I drank till I fell
When the drunk part was over it hurt me like hell Now I know about drinkin', so I know one thing's true Bein' drunk's, a lot like lovin' you 'Cause I loved till I stumbled, I loved till I fell When the lovin' was over it hurt me like hell Now I know what a taste, of the wrong love can do Bein' drunk's, a lot like lovin' you And I've woke some mornings and sworn off the drink At that I've done reasonably well I think But I havent done well, swearin' off you and me At that I've failed miserably Well I felt the hangover of lovin' all night I've sat at the bar all alone in a fight I've bottled up feelin's, and poured 'em out too Bein' drunk's, a lot like lovin' you And I've woken some mornings and sworn off the drink And at that I've done reasonably well I think But I havn't done well, swearin' off you and me At that I've failed miserably Well I drank till I stumbled, I loved till I fell When the drunk part was over love hurt me like hell Now I know about drinkin', so I know one thing's true Bein' drunk's, a lot like lovin' you Now I know what a taste of the wrong love can do Sometimes I still get drunk, lovin' you |

There's a blue rocking chair
Sitting in the sand Weathered by the storms and well oiled hands It sways back and forth With the help of the winds It seems to always be there, like an old trusted friend I've read a lot of books, wrote a few songs Looked at my life - where it's goin, where it's gone I've seen the world through a bus windshield But nothing compares to the way that I see it To the way that I see it, to the way that I see it When I sit in that old blue chair From that chair I've caught a few fish and some rays And I've watched boats sail in and out of cinnamon bay I let go of a lover that took a piece of my heart Prayed many times for forgiveness and a brand new start I've read a lot of books, wrote a few songs Looked at my life - where it's goin, where it's gone I've seen the world through a bus windshield But nothing compares to the way that I see it To the way that I see it, to the way that I see it When I sit in that old blue chair That chair was my bed one New Year's night When I passed out from too much Malibu and diet And I woke up to a hundred mosquito bites I swear, got em all sitting right there In that old blue chair There's a blue rocking chair Sitting in the sand Weathered by the storms and well oiled hands |
