There's no mistakin' what's takin' place here
I can't pretend anymore You know that I love you, but it's not enough to Keep you away from that door Now it's too late to wonder, what's left to be tried Your mind is made up, and my hands are tied Chorus: It's just one of those things that I can't do nothing about Your love is something that I'm going to have To learn to live without I could beg, I could plead, and get down on my knees But I think I finally figured it out It's just one of those things I can't do nothing about So bring on the tears, and bring on the heartaches Let me get on with my pain If this is goodbye then let's get it over There's nothing left to explain Now God knows I've tried, I've tried for so long What's left of my heart will have to be strong Chorus Well it's all I can stand, but it's out of my hands Your leaving is leaving more room for doubt It's just one of those things, I can't do nothing about |

Lookin' at you through a misty moonlight
Katydid sing like a symphony Porch swing swayin' like a Tennessee lullaby Melody blowing through the willow tree Chorus: What was I supposed to do Standing there lookin' at you A lonely boy far from home Maybe it was Memphis Maybe it was Southern summer nights Maybe it was you maybe it was me But it sure felt right Read about you in a Faulkner novel Met you once in a Williams play Heard about you in a country love song Summer night beauty took my breath away Chorus Every night now since I've been back home I lie awake drifting in my memory I think about you on your momma's front porch swing Talking that way so soft to me Chorus Maybe it was Memphis Maybe it was Southern summer nights Maybe it was Memphis Maybe it was Southern summer nights Chorus |

Love you're gettin' lazy
You're forgettin' to give me Sweet sugar words that I want to hear You've been neglectin' me You know jealousy, it is bitter as a green spring berry You're like fruit from a fickle vine You turn sweet in the nick of time Love, you only come alive when you're losin' me And it's a childish game I've got to shake you up just to wake you up To make you love me Chorus: I'll shake the sugar tree Till I feel your love falling All around me You've got to tend to what you've planted And if you take my love for granted baby I'll shake the sugar tree Another night and you're sleepin' I'm awake and I'm dreamin' Oh honey 'bout the way you used to be A little time's gone by Now do you think that I'm content With the cookin' and the payin' of the rent No, I want to know if your love's all spent Chorus I've got to raise some commotion Before you show me Some real emotion |

Mary was married with children
Had the perfect suburban life Til her husband came clean with the help of Jim Beam And confessed all his sins in one night Said he'd fallen in love with a barmaid Said she made him feel reckless and young And when he got through, what else could she do She just let that pony run Chorus: You do what you gotta do You know what you know You hang on til you can't hang on And then you learn to let go You get what you want sometimes But when it's all said and done You do what you gotta do And then you let that pony run Mary moved to West Virginia After the shock wore off She got a divorce and a chestnut horse And a barn with an old hayloft And sometimes she rides by the river Says it makes her feel reckless and young She closes her eyes and she holds on tight And she lets that pony run Chorus |

I ain't even gonna ask you
I can read you like a book Girl, if I ever saw one that's An I can't believe I did that look You look like something that the cat drug in So I won't kick you while you're down Just let me tell you friend to friend 'Bout a block I've been around Did you really think last night would last forever? Did you really think that guy hung the moon? Right now you hate yourself 'cause you knew better But there's no use crying over spilled perfume There's a big difference between lonely And lonely for way too long And I knew when he made his move You weren't feeling all that strong So I bit my tongue 'cause I saw it coming As you danced so close to him It's two steps forward and three steps back When a heart is on the mend Did you really think last night would last forever? Did you really think that guy hung the moon? Right now you hate yourself 'cause you knew better But there's no use crying over spilled perfume You fell in a moment of weakness Well, you just got to pull yourself back up Dry your morning after tears 'Cause what's done is done Did you really think last night would last forever? Did you really think that guy hung the moon? Right now you hate yourself 'cause you knew better But there's no use crying over spilled perfume No use crying over No use crying over No use crying over spilled perfume |

I can feel a new expression on my face
I can feel a glowing sensation taking place I can hear the guitars playin' lovely tunes Every time that you walk in the room I close my eyes for a second and pretend it's me you want Meanwhile I try to act so nonchalant I feel a summer's night with a magic moon Every time that you walk in the room Baby it's a dream come true Standin' right along side of you Wish I could show you how much I care But I only have the nerve to stare I can feel a something pounding in my brain Just any time that someone speaks your name Trumpets sound I hear thunder boom Every time that you walk in the room |

If you're coming with me you need
nerves of steel 'Cause I take corners on two wheels It's a never-ending circus ride The faint of heart need not apply Chorus: Mi vida loca over and over Destiny turns on a dime I go where the wind blows You can't tame a wild rose Welcome to my crazy life Sweetheart before this night is through I could fall in love with you Come dancing on the edge with me Let my passion set you free Chorus Here in the firelight I see your tattoo Mi vida loco, so you're crazy too Chorus We'll go where the wind blows And I'll be a wild rose Welcome to my crazy life |

You drove up in your pickup truck
That hot September day Not a wisp of wind in the parking lot But honey I was blown away And later on that fall at the Dixie Mall When I didn't know what to say I seen hide nor hair of no dynamite But honey I was blown away Big sister said "You'd better watch out" I slammed my door and said "You don't know what you're talkin' about" Mama said I sang when the telephone rang And she called out "Honey, it's Ray" Like a piece of dust on a four lane road Honey I was blown away I'm talking 'bout smithereens Just you in a pair of jeans Now I know what crazy means Big sister said "You'd better watch out" I slammed my door and said "You don't know what you're talkin' about" Then one Tuesday night Daddy said "Some guy's on the porch with a big bouquet" You stood there with your slicked-back hair And honey, I was blown away And when we slipped out back Across the railroad track And you softly touched my face Well I never did feel a train go by But honey, I was blown away No, I never did feel a train go by But honey, I was blown away |

I never knew how good a love could be
All I'd ever known was make believe So many times I played the fool Baby, till I met you Now everything has fallen in place You can tell by the smile on my face For every lonely tear that I've cried I'm that much satisfied Chorus We've got a fine, fine, very fine love We've got a fine, fine, very fine love You know it when you find one, shining like a diamond It's so fine, fine, very fine love You are more precious to me every day Life is better now in every way You don't have to lay the world at my feet You have made my world complete Chorus I've got no apprehensions You've got the best intentions We've got a, we've got a.... Fine, fine, very fine love Chorus |

Chorus:
Sweetheart's dance, that's what we do The two heart two-step baby, that's me and you Sweetheart's dance round and round Make out in the corner Lover's quarrel, sweetheart's dance Sometimes babe I hate you cause my love's so strong And then you make me feel so right I think it must be wrong You move me, you move me This love don't make no sense We make each other crazy baby And dance the sweetheart's dance Love sets us in motion and gets down around our feet We're living to the rhythm of our heart's together beating I love you, I love you, let me whisper in your ear Let me kiss you on the shoulder honey Let me hold you near Chorus Got your hand in my back pocket Got your eyes all off in space How 'bout we just get out of here And find a quiet place Chorus |

Now Betty was your average ordinary girl
Never wanted very much out of this world Just an occasional dinner and a twirl from a regular guy So Betty sat up one lonely night Trying to figure out what a man might like Then like a bolt right out of the blue she got herself a plan Betty's got a bass boat, Betty's got a truck All of a sudden things are looking up She's the most popular girl in town Since she got a new rifle and a hunting hound It might be coincidental, just might never know Oh, but things sure got a lot better Since Betty got a bass boat Now lately getting a date isn't all that hard There's a half a dozen bubbas fighting in the yard She won 'em all over with her southern charm and a satellite dish Now Betty can't believe her popularity She's thinking 'bout marketing her recipe So ironic that the funny thing is she never even liked to fish Betty's got a bass boat, Betty's got a truck All of a sudden things are looking up She's the most popular girl in town Since she got a new rifle and a hunting hound It might be coincidental, just might never know Oh, but things sure got a lot better Since Betty got a bass boat She's got bowling shoes, she can't lose She's got them boys just blowing their fuse She's got a big screen, she's in the "in scene" They're even gonna make her watermelon queen Betty's got a bass boat, Betty's got a truck All of a sudden things are looking up She's the most popular girl in town Since she got a new rifle and a hunting hound It might be coincidental, just might never know Oh, but things sure got a lot better Since Betty got a bass boat |

You gave him some good years
Now you'd like them back Mistakes become clearer After the fact Now when you pick up the pieces But you can't make them fit Don't waste all your time Trying to make sense of it Just hurry back To the land of the living Things have changed Since you've been gone The world is turning In the land of the living Take a deep breath Life goes on...life goes on Come down from that dark cloud What's done is done Don't you go down believing You're the only one That ever felt heartache Turn to regret We've all got something We'd like to forget...that's right Just hurry back To the land of the living Things have changed Since you've been gone The world is turning In the land of the living Take a deep breath Life goes on...life goes on Lean on my shoulder And whisper your tears We all need someone To echo our fears Just hurry back To the land of the living Things have changed Since you've been gone The world is turning In the land of the living Take a deep breath Life goes on...life goes on In the land of the living The world is turning Life goes one In the land of the living |

I can't make you stay, and boy I wouldn't want to
Go on walk away, but don't say I didn't warn you Have you forgotten how it was Before I wrapped you in my love Chorus: It's lonely, so lonely Go on and get your share But believe me baby It's lonely out there You think there's some adventure that you're missin' Some thrill undone or sweeter lips you could be kissin' So you wonder and you want to let go Our love is dying for you to know Chorus There's people out there tryin' to look like they're havin' fun Do you really want to be one They're just remembering what they had Or waitin' for their next chance at love Love, Love, Love It's lonely, so lonely We got such a good thing here Believe me, baby It's lonely out there It's lonely, so lonely We got such a good thing here Don't go now, baby It's lonely out there It's lonely out there It's lonely out there |

You say you're not missin' me darlin'
I know you are and always will be I saw you at the club actin' so in love Ah, but that don't mean nothing to me 'Cause as you danced by, that look in your eye Showed me where your heart is secretly Guess I'll be seeing you in the middle of the blues You can't have a good time without me Chorus: You can't have a good time without me You're going to see me in your memory You're going to hear me in that melody You can't have a good time without me I remember those sweet nights with you dear When I had you all to myself Now those times are gone, but love still lingers on You won't find with anyone else Ah, well you may wear a smile, fool yourself awhile But your heart and your mind will disagree So I'll be seeing you in the middle of the blues 'Cause you can't have a good time without me Chorus You can't have a good time, no you just can't have no fun You can't have a good time without me |

The song came and went
Like the times that we spent Hiding out from the rain under the carnival tent I'd laugh and he'd smile And it would last for a while You don't know what you got 'til you lose it all again Chorus: Listen to the mandolin rain, listen to the music on the lake Listen to my heart break, every time that he goes away Listen to the banjo wind, a sad song drifting low Listen to my tears roll, down my face as he turns to go A cool evening dance Listening to the bluegrass band takes the chill From the air 'til they play the last song And I'll do my time Keeping you off my mind but there's moments That I find, I'm not feeling so strong Chorus Running down by the lakeshore He did love the sound of a summer storm It played on the lake like a mandolin Now it's washing him away once again Once again, once again Chorus Listen to my tears roll, down my face as he turns to go |
