Travis Tritt - Strong Enough (2002) by Travis Tritt (보컬) on maniadb.com

I disappeared one morning
Left without a warning
Some thought I was finally gone for good
But those doubters just got rattled
'Cause I'm back in the saddle
Doing better then a body should
Surprise,surprise I'm back again
Who says I've lost too much to win
That wouldn't be too safe a bet
No you can't count me out yet
My self-esteem diminished
They said that I was finished
Just a washed up piece of history
But some things needed changing
I did some rearranging
My recovery ain't no mystery
Took some time to clear my head
I wasn't lost and I'm not dead
I'm feeling good as good can get
So you can't count me out yet
Been knocked down a time or two
From blows I didn't see
But I'm up off the canvas
You ain't seen the last of me
So if you feel defeated
Put down and mistreated
Got to show the world there's something more
Just get yourself together
No storm you can't weather
And come back stronger then you were before
Look at me that's what I've done
Still raising cane and having fun
I live my life with no regrets
So you can't count me out yet
I'm feeling good as good can get
No you can't count me out yet

It took me a year to fix it up
And one day to lay her down
I got a little hitch in my get-along now
You can't tell me nothin':
Talk is cheap and free advice
Is worth the price you pay
I had to find out for myself the hard way
You can't tell me nothin'
Hometown homecoming sweetheart
Nobody thought I had a prayer
Her momma said "Boy, don't you come around here"
You can't tell me nothin'
They say be careful what you wish for
I wanted to be her man
Two babies and a trailer later here I am
You can't tell me nothin':
They say that drinking will kill you
The same thing for rolling smokes
But that's two of the three things that I like the most
You can't tell me nothin'
I know what the good book preaches
But I know how I am
I just hope somebody up there understands
You can't tell me nothin'

I know there times
You've been tormented by
The questions in your mind
Will our love last
Or simply fade away
As time begins to pass
Your a complicated lady that's for sure
With a need for someone unafraid
To make you feel secure
And if you wonder if I'm

He was raised on a tractor in overalls and boots
Been to college and then law school since leaving his roots
Came home in a Lexus,he left in a Ford
Country ain't country no more
He told his daddy catch up with the times
He said now a days people trade heifers online
Dad ain't selling deals with a handshake like before
Country ain't country no more
No,country ain't country no more
The back forty was sold to make up for hard times
Then sold by the half acre lot overnight
The houses went up and the trees were cut down
And there went the finest deer hunting around
Lord everyone's locking their doors
'Cause country ain't country no more
Now his dad sits in traffic looking 'round at the change
Watching crews turn the county road into four lanes
The old Sunday drive has turned into a chore
Country ain't country no more
Lord,country ain't country no more
The back forty was sold to make up for hard times
Then sold by the half acre lot overnight
The houses went up and the trees were cut down
And there went the finest deer hunting around
Lord everyone's locking their doors
'Cause country ain't country no more
There's no turning back
And you just can't ignore
That country ain't country no more
No,country ain't country no more

She's getting tired of your running around
Out every night trying to paint the town
She's growing weary of your childish games
She's getting fed up with the dang thing
You better listen to me when I talk
That little lady's 'bout to up and walk
And if she leaves you,boy you'll lose your mind
So if you're gonna straighten up,brother now's the time
She's been calling on my telephone
I've got a shoulder she's been crying on
You'd see the ending if you'd only look
Your baby doll's about to close the book
You keep neglecting what you've got at home
The way she looks she won't be lonely long
I know she loves you but she's tired of lies
So if you're gonna straighten up,brother now's the time
A woman has her needs and her desires
She ought to have the lovin' she requires
You can keep her if you only try
But better hurry 'fore she says goodbye
The kind of love that gives a girl a thrill
If you won't give it there are those who will
There's lot's of men who'd love to have a shot
At having something you've already got
You best be careful what you throw away
It just might haunt you till your dying day
What's the matter with you boy,you blond?
If you're gonna straighten up,brother now's the time

I turn on the radio and I begin to dial
I do believe without a doubt the whole world's in denial
They're all singing I love you and what a perfect life
I've been around enough to know, to know that isn't right
Doesn't anyone hurt anymore
Have the teardrops stopped
No one's walking the floor
And the blues don't ever come around and knock on the door
No angry words are spoken
No hearts are being broken
Doesn't anyone hurt anymore
I'm not a lonely man locked away in a room
Crying for some lost love and cursing out the moon
But I know there's people out there that love has put to shame
Sometimes a song is all they have to help them through the pain:
Doesn't anyone hurt anymore
Have the teardrops stopped
No one's walking the floor
And the blues dont ever come around and knock on the door
No angry words are spoken
No hearts are being broken
Doesn't anyone hurt
doesn't anyone hurt Doesn't anyone hurt anymore

I know I'm far from perfect,
Too set in my ways for my own good.
And there's other things about me you think you'd like to change,
If you just could.
I could let you shape me, mold me like a potters piece of clay.
But you really wouldn't want me that way.
It's a crazy world we live in,
And it keeps on gettin tougher all the time.
You say you wish I wouldn't let life's troubles,
Weigh so heavy on my mind.
When things are wrong I guess that I could smile,
Pretending everything's okay.
Oh, you really wouldn't want me that way.I'm just the man I've always been,
I don't know how to be nobody else.
And a man can only change so much,
Till he becomes a shadow of himself.
I never could be happy,
If I were just your puppet on a string, yes I could change.
But you really wouldn't want me that way.
You really wouldn't want me that way.
Now don't misunderstand me,
I want to be a man that makes you proud.
I ain't ashamed to show how much I love you,
Every way that I know how.
I can make concessions,
But don't ask me to bend until I break.
'Cause you really wouldn't want me that way.
Don't ask me tomorrow to become someone I wasn't yesterday.
'Cause you really wouldn't want me that way.
Ah you really wouldn't want me........that way.

I've been workin' and sleepin', no time for misbehavin',
'till I'm just about to lose my mind
And I'm startin' now to wonder if I may get out from underneath
The pressures of a daily grind
Yeah, I've had it bottled up for so long, I'm gonna have to pop the top
The trouble is when I get started, I ain't ever gonna wanna stop
So as bad as I hate too, it's time to get crazy
It's time to take some tension off, when I get wound this tight
And the fact I'm gonna hurt myself ain't reason enough not too
So as bad as I hate too, I'll pay that price tomorrow
'Cause it's time to get crazy tonight
Well at home my little lady's got a toddler and a baby
And a million things she'll never get done
And I know the home-makin' is just as back breakin'
As sweatin' in the mid-day sun
She's been a liftin' lot's of loads of laundry, dancin' with a mop and a broom
When she finally gets a chance to party you better give the little girl some
room
She said as bad as I hate too, it's time to get crazy
It's time to take some tension off, when I get wound this tight
And the fact I'm gonna hurt myself ain't reason enough not too
So as bad as I hate too, I'll pay that price tomorrow
'Cause it's time to get crazy tonight (Lead-Guitar/Piano)
Yeah as bad as I hate too, it's time to get crazy
It's time to take some tension off, when I get wound this tight
And the fact I'm gonna hurt myself ain't reason enough not too
So as bad as I hate too, I'll pay that price tomorrow
It's time to get crazy tonight
Tag
Yeah as bad as I hate too, I'll pay that price tomorrow
'Cause it's time to get crazy tonight
(Whooooo-ooo-ooo! / Go Man! / Whooooo!)

I watched an acorn
Turn into an oak tree
I felt the passion
Of a whippoorwill's Call
And I've seen a flower
Bloom in the desert
But a woman so true
Loving me like you do
Now I've seen it all
I've seen the faces
They chisled in mountains
Marveled in wonder
At stars when they fall
And I've watched the sun set
Slip into the ocean
But a woman so true
Loving me like you do
Now I've seen it all
I feel so unworthy
Of all that you give me, yeah
I could die happy
Just knowing I am your man
I'm so undeserving
I just stand here in awe
But a woman so true
Loves me like you do
Now I've seen it all
I feel so unworthy
Of all that you give me, yeah
I could die happy
Just knowing I am your man
Cause you find perfection
Where others see flaws
When a woman so true
Loves me like you do
Now I've seen it all, yeah
A woman so true
Loving me like you do
Now I've seen it all

It's the way that you sneak a Kleenex to me
When a sad song song gets in my eye
You say it's alright,you got no appetite
When it's down to the last piece of pie
It's the way that you never remember
The things I would rather forget
How you grin and shrug your shoulders
When it's time to start over again
God must be a woman
You're probably a lot like her
Your grace is so amazing
An angel here on earth
You're so much like your maker
She sent you down to lay a crown on me
God must be a woman
Only mamas have a love that runs so deep
Watching out for drunks and babies and fools
And castaways like me
Some heavenly rain must soak in your brain
And come out as the sweet things you say
You stitch me back up when life plays too rough
Give my hand a little squeeze when we pray
And the I love you's that you told me
They would probably stretch to the moon
You multiply what matters
And divide the pain bt two
God must be a woman
You're probably a lot like her
Your grace is so amazing
An angel here on earth
You're so much like your maker
She sent you down to lay a crown on me
God must be a woman
Only mamas have a love that runs so deep
Watching out for drunks and babies and fools
And castaways like me

Time is moving fast to the point of no return
I'm reaching for tomorrow leaving bridges that I've burned
Here I stand alone with my back against the wall
Tortured by your memory and the feelings I recall
I can't seem to get over you
No matter where I go
