Lookin back now, well it makes me laugh,
we were growin our hair, we were cuttin' class, knew it all already there was nothing to learn, we were strikin' matches just to watch 'em burn. Listen to our music just a little too loud, we were hangin' in there with the outcast crowd, headin' to the rapids with some discount beer, it was a long train trestle but we had no fear, Man I don't know, where the time goes but it sure goes fast, just like that, We were wanna be rebels who didn't have a clue In our rock n roll t-shirts and our typically bad attitudes Had no excuses for the things that we'd done We were brave, we were crazy, we were mostly Young Talked a good game, when we were out with the guys But in the backseat we were awkward and shy, Girls were a mystery that we couldn't explain, And I guess there are some things that are never gonna change Man I don't know where the time goes But it sure goes fast, just like that We were wannabe rebels that didn't have a clue In our rock n roll teeshirts and our typically bad attitudes Had no excuses for the things that we'd done We were brave, we were crazy, we were mostly Young Young, young, Yeah and wishing we were older Young, Hey I wish it wasn't over Man I don't know, where the time goes, but it sure goes fast, just like that We were wanna be rebels that didn't have a clue In our rock n roll t-shirts and our typically bad attitudes Had no excuses for the things that we'd done We were brave, we were crazy, we were mostly Young Young, Hey and wishing we were older And I wish it wasn't over |

Sittin' here alone
Thoughts of you run wild I'm longin' for your touch Haunted by your smile No use in tryin' to erase No one could ever take your place. I remember how it used to feel Back when our love was strong and real And I remember tears in your eyes When I looked at you and said goodbye All I want right now is to forget Every single thing that I regret Drown out these embers But I remember. --- Instrumental --- It's yesterday again, Here inside my mind I can't find a way To leave your love behind I wanna wake up to the day Your memory won't stand in my way. I remember how it used to feel Back when our love was strong and real And I remember tears in your eyes How I looked at you and said goodbye All I want right now is to forget Every single thing that I regret Drown out these embers But I remember. --- Instrumental --- I wanna wake up to the day Your memory won't stand in my way. I remember how it used to feel Back when our love was strong and real And I remember tears in your eyes When I looked at you and said goodbye All I want right now is to forget Every single thing that I regret Drown out these embers But I remember. Oh, Oh, Oh. And I remember. Oh, Oh, Oh. Oh, I remember you, baby Oh, all of you, now baby... --- Instrumental to fade --- |

I'd of spent a lot more time in the pouring rain
without an umbrella coverin my head And I'd have stood up to that bully when he pushed and called me names, but I was too afraid And I'd have gone and saw Elvis that night he came to town But momma said I couldn't And I'd have went skinny dippin with Jimmy Carson that time she dared me to, but I didn't O I, I'd done a lot of things different I wish I'd have spent more time with my dad when he was alive Now I don't have the chance And I wish I had told my brother how much I love him before he went off to war, But I just shook his hand I wish I'd have gone to church on Sunday morning when my grandma begged me to, But I was afraid of God. And I wish I'd have listened when they said boy you're gonna wish you hadn't, But I wouldn't O I, I'd done a lot of things different People say they wouldn't change a thing Even if they could O but I would There was this red dress she wanted one time so bad she could taste it I should of bought it, but I didn't She wanted to paint our bedroom yellow and trim it in blues and greens, But I wouldn't let her Wouldn't have hurt nothin' She loved to be held and kissed and touched But I didn't do it not nearly enough And if I'd of know that dance was gonna be our last dance I'd of asked that band to play on and on, on and on O I, I'd done a lot of things different People say they wouldn't change a thing Even if they could O but I would oo, oo O I, I'd done a lot of things different O I, I'd done a lot of things I think we'd all do a lot of things different |

Well me and my lady had our first big fight
So I drove around till I saw the neon lights The corner bar It just seemed right, so I pulled up Not a soul around but the old bar keep down at the end lookin' half asleep He walked up and said "What'll it be?" I said,"The good stuff" He didn't reach around for the whiskey He didn't pour me a beer His blue eyes kind of went misty He said, "You can't find that here." CHORUS 1 Cause its the first long kiss on a second date your momma's all worried when you get home late Droppin the ring in the spaghetti plate cause your hands are shakin so much It's the way that she looks with her eyes in her hair Eatin' burnt suppers the whole first year and askin for seconds to keep her from tearin' up Yeah man, that's the good stuff He grabbed a carton of milk and he poured a glass then I smiled and said, "I'll have some of that." We sat there and talked as an hour passed like old friends Saw a black and white picture and it caught my stare It was a pretty girl with bouffant hair He said, "That's my Bonnie, taken 'bout a year after we wed." He said, "Spent 5 years in the bottle, when the cancer took her from me, But Ive been sober 3 years now 'Cause the one thing stronger than the whiskey Chorus 2 Was the sight of her holdin' my baby girl The way she adored that string of pearls I gave her the day that our youngest boy Earl, married his high school love and it's a new t-shirt saying "I'm a grandpa" and being right there as our time got small, And holdin her hand when the good Lord called her up Yeah man, That's the good stuff BRIDGE He said, When you get home she'll start to cry, When she says, Im sorry, say So am I Then look into those eyes so deep in love and drink it up 'Cause thats the good stuff That's the good stuff |

She was aware of her insecurities as she took the stage
She was convinced if she got up there that She'd be discovered someday. So she belted it She hit the high notes fearlessly Oh she melted them As she brought them to their feet. Chorus: She was a big star At Banana Joe's bar Where she sang karaoke every night She said if you work hard to get where you are It feels good in the hot spot light She was a big star. She made the local cable shows Where the camera fell in love with her face After a couple of weekends The groupies were crawling all over the place. She signed autographs Like she was Garth Brooks in a skirt And in the aftermath That small time town was hers. Chorus: She was a big star At Banana Joe's bar Where she sang karaoke every night She said if you work hard to get where you are It feels good in the hot spot light She was a big star. She doesn't care anymore That her high school girlfriends cut her down The only thought she entertains is where they are And where she is now. Her old neighbors swear they're certain she slept her way to the top She knows you don't get where your going Less you got somethin they ain't got. So she sings tonight To 20,000 plus And the young girls scream out loud Man that could be us. She's a big star As she eats caviar Just before she performs every night She says if you work hard To get where you are It feels good in the hot spot light She's a big star. She's a big star... |

Friday night, butterflies - Like clock work, they'd arive
A little chill in an October sky - Nervous til' the kickoff came Four quarters, win or lose - Spent Saturdays black and blue But it was what I loved to do and it was more than just a game It was my life and it was fun - Another season of my life, it's done Another race I'm glad I got to run - Another chapter of my life, it's over No, I'm never gonna feel like that again - Time's rushin' by me like the wind Never be as young as I was then - No, I'm never gonna feel like that again Practice dancin' in my garage - Two left feet and a white corsage Daddy let me borrow the Dodge - Said "Don't bring her home on empty." I swung by and picked up Cindy Lou - Took her to the prom for a dance or two Then we drove down to the water, blue - And that's where she kissed me It was my life and it was fun - Another season of my life, it's done Another race I'm glad I got to run - Another chapter of my life, it's over No, I'm never gonna feel like that again - Time's rushin' by me like the wind Never be as young as I was then - No, I'm never gonna feel like that again I got a call one July day - Cindy Lou was in that way I had a big decision to make, and I couldn't take it lightly At first I thought of leavin town - But I couldn't let our families down Now I'm out here throwin this ball around with a boy that looks just like me Well, it's my life and it's sure fun - Another season of my life's begun Another race I'm glad I get to run - Another chapter of my life, I'm writing No, I'm never gonna feel like this again - Time's rushin' by me like the wind Gotta grab each moment that I can - Cuz' I'm never gonna feel like this again No, I'm never gonna feel like this again No, I'm never gonna feel like this again |

I've been up to my neck, working six days a week
Wearing holes in the soles, of the shoes on my feet Been dreamin' of getting away, since I don't know Ain't no better time than now, for Mexico No shoes, no shirt, no problems Blues what blues, hey I forgot 'em The sun and the sand and a drink in my hand, with no bottom And no shoes, no shirt, no problems No problems Want a towel or a chair, in the sand by the sea Wanna look through my shades, and see you there with me Wanna soak up life for awhile, and lay back low No boss no clock no stress, no dress code No shoes, no shirt, no problems Blues what blues, hey I forgot 'em The sun and the sand and a drink in my hand, with no bottom And no shoes, no shirt, no problems Babe lets get packed, tank tops and flip-flops, if you got 'em No shoes, no shirt, no problems No problems |

Saw him sittin' on a sidewalk in Fresno
Braided hair and a tye-dyed t-shirt on Talkin' to himself about Vietnam 'Bout the tour he did and the deal he got He said, This world ain't the same if you ask me. If I could be somewhere else, I'd tell you where I'd be. I'd be rollin' on a river with Creedance Stealin' kisses from Peggy Sue I'd be knee-deep in sand on a Panama beach In the spring of '72 I'd be wastin' away on the dock of the bay Watchin' the tide roll in He said, What I wouldn't give just to live those songs, again. Saw him workin' the counter at Walgreens With a new haircut and a Bachelor's Degree Talkin' to himself about his raw deal Cussin' Uncle Sam and the GI bill He said, This world ain't the same if you ask me If I could be somewhere else, I'd tell you where I'd be. I'd be rollin' on a river with Creedance Stealin' kisses from Peggy Sue I'd be knee-deep in sand on a Panama beach In the spring of '72 I'd be wastin' away on the dock of the bay Watchin' the tide roll in He said, What I wouldn't give just to live those songs, again.

Woke up this mornin
The house was cold Checked the furnace she wasn't burnin' Went out and hopped in my old Ford Hit the engine but she ain't a turnin Given each other some hard lessons lately But we ain't learnin Same sad story thats a fact One step up and two steps back Bird on a wire outside my motel room but he aint singin Girl in white outside a church in June but the church bells they aint ringin' Sittin' here in this bar tonight and all I'm thinkin is Im the same old story same old act One step up and two steps back It's the same thing night all night Who's wrong and baby who's right Another fight and I slam the door on Another battle in our dirty little war When I look at myself I dont see the man I wanted to be Somewhere along the line I slipped off track movin one step up and two steps back Theres a girl across the bar I get the message shes sendin Mmm she aint lookin too married Me well honey im pretending Last night I dreamed I held you in my arms the music was never endin' we danced as the evening sky faded to black movin one step up and two steps up (one step up and two steps back) one step up and two steps back (one step up and two steps back) One step up and two steps back (one step up and two steps back) one step up and two steps back ohhh..baby we're movin One step up and two steps back One step up and two steps back One step up and two steps back mmm..one step up and two steps back (one step up and two steps back) (one step up and two steps back) |

Kenny Chesney & Tim McGraw
(Kenny) You know that restaurant on highway one With the key lime pie, that song, the sand and the sun Where we ran in our barefeet Built a castle on the beach Just the wind, the rocks, the waves and you and me. Chorus: (Both) I can't go there 'Cause thats just too much us I can't go there I still feel your touch Theres places in my heart and head That feel as empty as our bed So most nights I dont even walk upstairs 'Cause I can't go there. (Tim) Remember San Francisco on that cable car Our reflection in the window of that store How we danced the night away With the lights out on the bay Then wound up in a blanket on the floor. Chorus: (Both) I can't go there 'Cause 'Friscos too much, us I can't go there I still feel your touch Now theres places in my heart and head That still feel as empty as our bed So most nights I dont even walk upstairs 'Cause I can't go there. If it was only Florida or California Maybe I could let myself move on But its everywhere we've been And everywhere I turn I can't love again Because I've learned. That I can't go there It's somethin' I can't do I can't go there 'Cause I'll run into you I can't go there. (Tim) When the sun shines, when it rains Christmas parties, football games (Kenny) I can't go there (Tim) Winter, summer, fall or spring I see you in everything I can't go there. It's too much us I can't go there... |
