Billy Ray Cyrus

Oh I wonder where you are
Are you near or are you far
Are you lookin' at the same ole man as me
Are you alone tonight
Are you safe and warm by a candle light
Oh I wonder... Oh I wonder...

In another place and time
Could you have been only mine
To have and to hold...
And cherish your whole life through
Was it just not meant to be
A sad romance... a tragedy
Oh I wonder... Oh I wonder...

Now I walk these streets alone
Without your hand to hold
And I look into the sky and call your name
Well if the world came to an end
And I never saw you again
Oh I wonder... Oh I wonder...
Oh I wonder... Oh I wonder...

(Bob DiPiero/Rivers Rutherford/Tom Shapiro)

When my little girl gets that sleep in her eyes,
And she settles in with her head on my chest,
Why do I feel like my heart's gonna burst?
That I'm willing to die for this angel at rest?

And why am I filled with unshakeable faith,
When I look at that child so fragile and sweet?
There's something eternal I see in her face,
Something much more than her mother and me.

Maybe I'm looking at the face of God.
Makes me think I may be looking at the face of God,
And He's smiling back at me.

Why do I feel like the smallest of things,
When I try to count all the stars in the sky?
When I see the world that we're in at it's worst,
Why do I feel like it'll all be all right?

I can't see the wind as it moves through the trees.
So how do I know that I know that I know,
That somebody out there is speaking to me?
Saying: "I love you and you're not alone."

Maybe I'm looking at the face of God.
Makes me think I may be looking at the face of God,
And He's smiling back at me.

Oh, I know that I know that I know that He's out there.
Somebody's out there.
When I look at the beauty around me,
And the love that surrounds me.

Maybe I'm looking at the face of God.
Makes me think I may be looking at the face of God,
And He's smiling back at me.
Maybe I'm looking at the face of God.
And He's smiling back at me.

He's halfin' his sandwich, his chips and Baby Ruth
Puttin' them back in a sack his mama packed
With a sticker that say's 'Jesus Loves You'
He's jumpin off the bus, runnin' in the house
Talkin' to mom about his day
Hidin' that paper sack in a baseball glove
Ridin' his bike straight to the freeway
Where there's an old man with a shoppin' cart
With a dirty face and a purple heart
Who's sayin' son you'll never know how much this means?

Boy say's
Wouldn't you do this for me
If I were reachin' out to you
Wouldn't you give me food to eat if I were hungry to
Wouldn't you do this for me?

Tonight, that little boy's dad is flyin' down the freeway
It's pourin' rain as he leaves the road
He's rolling down that concrete bank
Through the flames and the broken glass
An old man takes his hand
Finds a cell phone on the backseat
He's sayin' get here fast as you can
Now the bum that lives beneath the bridge
Pulls him safely from that flooding ditch
Man asked why'd you risk your life to save mine?

He said
Wouldn't you do this for me
If I were reachin' out to you
Wouldn't you try to save my life, if I needed you to
Wouldn't you do this for me?

Now he's layin' in that hospital bed prayin' a silent prayer
And he can't help but ask him,
Lord, did you put that beggar there
As a nurse pulls back the curtains
All he can see is a billboard sign
A sixty foot Jesus hangin' on the cross
At the bottom, just one line.

Wouldn't you do this for me
Wouldn't you do this for me
Wouldn't you...

(Dodson/James)

Old Mr. Johnson and his wife attend my church.
Fifty-two years and they still love like it's the first.
He holds the door, she holds his hand, they kiss a little.
He helps her in the truck, she slides right to the middle.
And so one day I ask him how they keep the fire alive.
He said: "You see two old people,
But somethin' down deep inside."

"Love is always sixteen.
It's always the same, though people might change
Its forever young:
Love don't have to turn cold, though lovers grow old.
Love don't have to grow weak,
'Cause love is always sixteen."

Baby, don't you find it just a little bit peculiar,
However close we get, we're never too familiar.
Everyday I wake up lovin' you so much it hurts,
And, baby, every kiss we kiss still feels like it's the first.
And it turns me on to know this feeling's never gonna fade.
I'm still gonna want you even when we're old and grey.

Love is always sixteen.
It's always the same, though people might change
Its forever young:
Love don't have to turn cold, though lovers grow old.
Love don't have to grow weak,
'Cause love is always sixteen.

Through all of its phases, it's timeless and ageless.
You're like the sun in a clear morning sky.

Love is always sixteen.
It's always the same, though people might change
Its forever young:
Love don't have to turn cold, though lovers grow old.
Love don't have to grow weak,
'Cause love:
'Cause love is always sixteen.
Is always sixteen...

I've never seen that little town where You were born
It was long before my time and far away
But as time goes on I think about You more and more

And wonder what it was like in those days
I wish I could have walked with You
You might have called me friend
But there's no way I could've known You then

But I know You now
I know Your name
A lot of awesome things You did and why You came
I didn't know You when

You helped that lame man rise up from his bed
I didn't know You when
You stood there and called Lazarus from the dead
But I know You now

I didn't see You feed that tired hungry crowd
With five loaves and two fish one afternoon
And I didn't see You catch Peter?s hand
So he wouldn't drown

When he tried the walk on water like You
I couldn't see Your face
When You taught those little kids
There's just no way I could've seen You then

But I see You now I see Your love
I see a tiny glimpse of You in every one of us
I didn't see You on the mount of olives, crying

As You prayed I couldn't see You when
You were kissed
By Judas and betrayed
But I see You now

Oh, I didn't need You when that bitter angry mob
Shouted out crucify him
And I couldn't have needed You
When they laughed and mocked You
But it could be I'm a little bit like them

?Cause I need You now
I need Your grace
And how I needed Your forgiveness to be saved
I didn't need You when Pilate's soldiers beat You to the ground

I didn't need You when You hung there
Bleeding from Your thorny crown
But I need You now
Oh, I need You now

Yeah, alright

There's a church on the corner in a harbor town
Where the stained glass lets the sunshine through
When Sunday morning rolls around
The people come to hear about the truth.

The choir sings “Amazing Grace”
Then you could hear the Preacher say,
"Love has no walls
Love needs no space or time
Reach out your heart."

One day a hurricane swept through that town
Worst storm you ever did see
Next Sunday morning when no church could be found
The people still gathered out in the street.

The choir sang 'Amazing Grace'
Then, you could hear the Preacher sayin',
"Love has no walls
Love needs no space or time
Reach out your heart."
'Cause love has no walls, yeah
Alright, reach out your heart.

There's a church on the corner in a harbor town
They're singing about amazing grace.

Love has no walls, alright
Love needs no space or time
Reach out your heart.
'Cause love has no walls, yeah, alright.

Love needs no space or time
Reach out your heart
'Cause love has no walls.
Yeah, alright
Love needs no space or time
Reach out your heart...

It's on the tip of my heart, the words to say
But I fall apart and then I walk away
There's an angry world pressed against my back
And down every turn I keep looking back.

And I know You promise me
Love through eternity
So why can't I just hold on?

I want to live, I want to love
But I'm afraid my simple faith will never be enough
I want to laugh, I want to be set free
And let You hold all that my soul has deep inside of me
But I don't know where to start
It's on the tip of my heart.

So want You take my hand
Because I'm sinking in
To this life I've made, but don't understand
The clock moves so slowly
Time goes so fast
But in this world wind world that will never last.

This love You're giving me
It's not just make believe
Help me to just hold on.

I want to live, I want to love
But I'm afraid my simple faith will never be enough
I want to laugh, I want to be set free
And let You hold all that my soul has deep inside of me
But I don't know where to start
It's on the tip of my heart.

Open the sky's
Open my eyes
And all my fears scatter away
So I walk in grace, 'cause I've seen Your face
And You are all that matters to me.

I'm gonna live, I'm gonna love
I'm not afraid because Your grace will always be enough
I want to laugh, I want to be set free
And let You hold all that my soul has deep inside of me
I want to live, I want to love
I'm not afraid because Your grace will always be enough
I want to laugh, I want to be set free
And let You hold all that my soul has deep inside of me.

But I don't know where to start
It's on the tip of my heart...

It's 3 am and I can't sleep
I'm watching war on my TV without the sound
My family is tucked in tight
But somehow God I feel like I let You down.

Did I forget to pray
Yeah, get down on my knees
Thank You for the things
Everything I need today
There's a cross around my neck
To remind me that You're never far away
Have I been missin' all the things
That You really have to say
God, did I forget to pray.

We're all blessed here on my block
Is that where I let my heart stop
There's a world out there
I see all that pain and sufferin'
I been so busy doin' nothing
I forgot to care.

Did I forget to pray
Yeah, get down on my knees
Thank You for the things
Everything I need today
Here's a cross around my neck
To remind me that You're never far away
Have I been missin' all the things
That You really have to say
God, did I forget to pray.

There's a cross around my neck
To remind me that You're never far away
Did I forget to listen
Was I too wrapped up in doin' things my way
God, did I forget to pray.

God, did I forget to pray...

We were born with wings to fly
But sometimes we can't reach that high
'Cause it feels like the sky is falling down.

Against the odds, against the rain
You dig your heels in to slow that train
So many wishes in the lost and found
One little thing can turn it all around.

Chorus:
Holding on to a dream
Trying to keep hope alive
You can reach out to me
You can reach down deep inside
When the whole world's gone insane
A ray of light remains
The days you know it seems
Sometimes the hardest thing is
Holding on to a dream.

At times you win, at times you lose
Sometimes life puts a rock in your shoe
But something in you keeps you walking on.

Leave the fear and doubt in the past
Just believe, don't look back.

Chorus:
Holding on to a dream
Trying to keep hope alive
You can reach out to me
You can reach down deep inside
When the whole world's gone insane
A ray of light remains
The days you know it seems
Sometimes the hardest thing is
Holding on to a dream.

Feels like an endless fight
All up hill, but that's all right.

Chorus:
Holding on to a dream
Trying to keep hope alive
You can reach out to me
You can reach down deep inside
When the whole world's gone insane
A ray of light remains
The days you know it seems
Sometimes the hardest thing is
Holding on to a dream...

He didn't have the answers
To half the questions his son ask him
A child's mind is a curious thing
But when his son hugged him and said Dad
You know I love you
How much do you love me
Daddy didn't have to think.

With his arms open wide
Just as far as they could go
He said as far as I can reach
Is not enough to show
I would give my life for you
You are my flesh and blood
I love you this much.

She stood there crying
Broken-hearted
Looking up at Him
And said why are You doing this
He looks down at her wanting to hold her
And wipe her tears away
He has to leave and that's the way it is
She gave her son one last kiss.

With her arms open wide
Just as far as they could go
She said as far as I can reach
Is not enough to show
I would give my life for You
You are my flesh and blood
I love You this much.

And they raised his broken body above the crowd
Drove in the nails as the rain came down.

With His arms open wide
Just as far as they could go
He said as far as I can reach
Is not enough to show
I would give my life for you
You are my flesh and blood
I love you this much.

I love you this much...

Oh, I've heard about the streets of gold
Since I was just a kid
Stories that my grandpa told
The truths that he unhid
Preacher man sang a song of love
Our savior was his pride
And he told of the perfect place
Just beyond the other side.

Well, there won't be no more sickness
Sorrow, death or pain
The sun will shine forever
No more darkness, no more rain
Glory hallelujah
Will echo through the halls
The other side is waitin'
Should our maker come to call.

The other side is perfect
It was made just for a king
At the right hand of Almighty God
The angels start to sing
And the light surrounds Your very soul
The truth You cannot hide
The pearly gates will open
If You reach the other side.

The other side is perfect
It was made just for a king
At the right hand of Almighty God
The angels start to sing
And the light surrounds Your very soul
The truth You cannot hide
The pearly gates will open
If when You reach the other side.

The wait'l sure be worth it
When You reach the other side
Oh, the other side...

Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see

When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we first begun

Though many dangers,toils and snares
I have already come
'Tis grace that brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home

Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see
Was blind but now I see

You tucked me in, turned out the light
Kept me safe and sound at night
Little girls depend on things like that

Brushed my teeth and combed my hair
Had to drive me everywhere
You were always there when I looked back

You had to do it all alone
Make a living, make a home
Must have been as hard as it could be

And when I couldn't sleep at night
Scared things wouldn't turn out right
You would hold my hand and sing to me

Caterpillar in the tree
How you wonder who you'll be
Can't go far but you can always dream

Wish you may and wish you might
Don't you worry hold on tight
I promise you there will come a day
Butterfly fly away

Butterfly fly away (butterfly fly away)
You got your wing, now you can't stay
Take those dreams and make them all come true

Butterfly fly away (butterfly fly away)
We've been waiting for this day
All along and knowing just what to do

Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly fly away
Butterfly fly away (butterfly fly away)

Fancy cars and diamond rings,
I seen all kinds of shiny things,
I should be feelin' like a king,
But lord I don't.
Great big towns, so full of users.
Make a million, still a loser.
Some may bet on you to win,
Most hope you won't.
Livin' wild, ain't no mercy being free,
When it brings you to your knees.
Can't keep lying.
I've seen the road now,
I know just what I need,
To find my way back to Tennessee.
I'm going home now,
To Southern, is so sweet,
And find my way back to Tennessee
I was only seventeen,
I lived behind my beauty queen,
I turned my back on everything,
And everyone.
Rooms with lots of pretty faces,
Still don't fill the empty spaces,
Wanderin' where Amazing Grace is,
There is none, no.
Now I know, there's no comfort in this world.
God I miss that hometown girl,
Want to hold her.
I'm on the road now,
I know just what I need,
To find my way back to Tennessee.
I'm coming home now,
To Southern, is so sweet,
And find my way back to Tennessee
All this time I was chasing after dreams,
It was right in front of me,
I was lost without her.
I'm on the road now,
I know just what I need,
To find my way back to Tennessee.
I'm coming home now,
To Southern, is so sweet,
And find my way back to you and me,
Find my way back to Tennessee.

Too many broken promises
Too many trail of tears
Too many times you were left cold
For oh so many years

Too many times you walked away
And was made to feel ashamed
And though you only tried to give
You were often blamed

How can this world be so dark
So unfair and so untrue
How did the cards of life
Fold right on top of you

God in heaven, hear my prayer
If you are still above
Send the children hopes and dreams
And lots and lots of love
For this I only ask of you to conquer all their fears
And let them soar like eagles across the trail of tears

She is all I ever could've wanted her to be
She always knew just how to give the best of love to me
I thought I knew a thing or two about the ways of love
But it was soon to become so clear I didn't know enough
One day I found a note beside the ring she'd left behind
She said that here is all you need to know for better love next time

Say your love is strong and true
Let her know all she meant to you
Show her she's that special one
Who shines in your eyes like the rising sun
Give love less room to grow
Treat her tender and you will know
The secret to the treasures of heaven
In the heart of a woman

A bridge was burned and a lesson learned I never will forget
And for her timeless wisdom I'm forever in her debt
Last night I heard a good friend say he finally found the one
I told him to be sure these precious things weren't left undone

Say your love is strong and true
Let her know all she meant to you
Show her she's that special one
Who shines in your eyes like a rising sun
Give love less room to grow
Treat her tender and you will know
The secret to the treasures of heaven
In the heart of a woman

In the heart of a woman

Say your love is strong and true
Let her know all she meant to you
Show her she's that special one
Who shines in your eyes like the rising sun
Give love less room to grow
Treat her tender and you will know
The secret to the treasures of heaven
In the heart of a woman

Say your love is strong and true
Let her know all she meant to you
Show her she's that special one
Who shines in your eyes like the rising sun
Give love less room to grow
Treat her tender and you will know
The secret to the treasures of heaven
In the heart of a woman

In the heart of a woman
In the heart of a woman
In the heart of a woman

There's a little boy out in the driveway
His basketball in hand
Saying Daddy could we play a little one on one
You pat him on the back and said not now son
I'm a busy man

His sister's out on the sidewalk
Setting up a lemonade stand
Hey Daddy don't you want to buy a glass from me
You say maybe later, can't you see I'm a busy man

You got to go, got to run
Hit it hard and get it done
Everyone can see you're going far
You got responsibilities
A crazy schedule that you keep
And when you say that time's a-wasting
You don't know how right you are
Busy man

There's a woman in the bedroom crying
Saying I thought we had plans
You say honey I'm sorry I'll make it up
When the job slows down and I'm not such
A busy man

You got to go, got to run
Hit it hard and get it done
Everyone can see you're going far
You got responsibilities
A crazy schedule that you keep
And when you say that time's a-wasting
You don't know how right you are
Busy man

Have you ever seen a headstone with these words
"If only I had spent more time at work"

There's a call one day from the office
They need you down in Birmingham
You say no way, the weekend's mine
I got plans with the kids and a date with my wife
I'm a busy man

You got to go, got to run
Take a break and have some fun
Those that love you most
Say you've come far
Got some new priorities
In that schedule that you keep
And when you say that time's a-wasting
Now you know how right you are
Busy man

Busy man...

Bar room night life weekend romance used to turn me on
I was wild and winded and never gave my restless heart to anyone
One night stands would end up from a midnight rendezvous
Well I never ever thought that I would fall in love with you

I never ever thought that I would fall in love with you
'Cause I'd built a wall around my heart that no one could get through
For once I had it broke and I still feel the bruise
And I never thought that I would fall in love with you

Well passion rises in my heart each time you're in my arms
The sensations of these feelings have never felt this strong
Well I've always played the heartbreak kid,I turned to act so cool
I never ever thought that I would fall in love with you

I never ever thought that I would fall in love with you
'Cause I'd built a wall around my heart that no one could get through
For once I had it broke and I still feel the bruise
And I never thought that I would fall in love with you

Well I don't like to taste my pride but I guess I was wrong
I never meant to hurt you girl I was afraid to fall in love
Well come on baby lets take it slow 'cause my heart is still confused
And I never ever thought that I would fall in love with you

I never ever thought that I would fall in love with you
'Cause I'd built a wall around my heart that no one could get through
For once I had it broke and I still feel the bruise
And I never thought that I would fall in love with you

That I would fall in love with you
That I would fall in love with you

Now as she's walking out the door
Sayin' she don't want me no more
As her tires are a squealin'
Lord, I get this funny feelin'
That I've been in this position before
A different time another flame
Still it's spooky how it seems the same

Deja blue, deja blue

Yeah, I'm feelin' pretty certain
That this cryin' and a hurtin'
Is somethin' I've already been through
Oh Lordy here I go again
Tell me will it ever end
Same ol' fool, nothin' new
Deja blue

Now it started in the second grade
With little blondie what's her name
I toted all her books
And gave her long and gooshy looks
And all she wanted was my brother Jay
That first time nearly done me in
But I've been there a hundred times since then

Deja blue, deja blue

Yeah, I'm feelin' pretty certain
That this cryin' and a hurtin'
Is somethin' I've already been through
Oh Lordy here I go again
Tell me will it ever end
Same ol' fool, nothin' new
Deja blue

Instrumental

Deja blue, deja blue

Yeah, I'm feelin' pretty certain

Oh Lordy here I go again
Tell me will it ever end
Same ol' fool, nothin' new
Deja blue

Same ol' fool, nothin' new
Deja blue...

The leaves on the tree are turnin' inside out
From the Great White North there's a big black cloud
Run for shelter if you can
There's a storm in the heartland

We made it through the flood of '93
But this is gonna be the death of me
I can't hide the tears of a desperate man
There's a storm in the heartland

She's leavin' me just like a restless wind
And I can see my world is comin' to an end
Like the sound of thunder angry words ring out again
There's a storm in the heartland
There's a storm in the heartland

The love she gave was like a breath of spring
Sweet and pure as a mountain stream
I couldn't see the danger close at hand
There's a storm in the heartland

She's leavin' me just like a restless wind
And I can see my world is comin' to an end
Like the sound of thunder angry words ring out again
There's a storm in the heartland
There's a storm in the heartland

There's a storm in the heartland

I gave two teeth in a teenage brawl
For a girl whose name I can't recall
Then we broke up
I gave a knee to the football team
Chasing that high school state champ dream
We almost won

I gave junior college almost a year
Then I gave a Greyhound twenty bucks
And that's how I got here

I give all my money for a slice of daily bread
I give forty honest hours to a boss I never met
And I gave my soul to Jesus at the age of twenty-two
So there ain't much left to offer
But I give my heart to you

I gave a beard and a head of hair
To a boot camp corporal with a barber's chair
At Camp LeJeune
I gave Uncle Sam what he bargained for
Twenty-four months, not a minute more
I just didn't fit in

Then I gave a high school friend of mine a call
And we gave a body shop a try
'Til we gave up last fall

I give all my money for a slice of daily bread
I give forty honest hours to a boss I never met
And I gave my soul to Jesus at the age of twenty-two
So there ain't much left to offer
But I give my heart to you

And I gave my soul to Jesus at the age of twenty-two
So there ain't much left to offer
But I give my heart to you...

Girl you can head north, south, east or west
Which way you go I couldn't care less
It don't matter if this is where you wanna be
You can take the couch, you can take the chair
It makes no difference I don't care
Can't you see it's all the same to me

You can put me on some island in the middle of the sea
Or lock me in a prison with no chance of ever being free
Or run a dagger through my heart,
Stand back and watch me bleed
Or baby you can leave it's all the same to me

Day or night, rain or shine
I'll be alone still losing my mind
Without you it's all the same to me

You can put me on some island in the middle of the sea
Or lock me in a prison with no chance of ever being free
Or run a dagger through my heart,
Stand back and watch me bleed
Or baby you can leave it's all the same to me

I could never love someone else
If I can't have you, you might as well

Just put me on some island in the middle of the sea
Or lock me in a prison with no chance of ever being free
Or run a dagger through my heart,
Stand back and watch me bleed
Or baby you can leave it's all the same to me

Yeah baby if you leave it's all the same to me
It's all the same to me
Yeah baby if you leave it's all the same to me
Baby, baby if you leave it's all the same to me

Do I love you just a thousand times
Lately I've been going out of my mind
I get the feeling you're pulling away
It's gonna hurt me if you won't stay
Can't stand the thought of being alone
You need to be there when I get home
If you could tell me just one more time
It would surely ease my mind
Three little words would be fine

I love you, I love you
I need you
Know that you're still mine
Three little words would be fine

It's gotten crazy I don't understand
How can love get so out of hand
I've never been so uncertain before
Is there someone behind another door
I've got to know if I'm right or wrong
With mixed emotions I can't go on
I've got to konw that I'm not blind
Just lay it on the line
Three little words would be fine

I love you, I love you
I need you
Know that you're still mine
Three little words would be fine

--- Instrumental ---

Can't stand the thought of being alone
You need to be there when I get home
If you could tell me just one more time
It would surely ease my mind
Three little words would be fine

I love you, I love you
I need you
Know that you're still mine
Three little words would be fine

I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you...

I remember the time
Before you were mine
And I was dying to be in his shoes
Now he's gone away
And I'm in his place
But his memory hasn't moved
The shadow he cast just grows larger than life
How can the past cut two hearts like a knife

I can't walk away
But how can I stay
Any way I step I lose
My back's to the wall
I stumble and fall
Trying to live my life in his shoes

He wasn't a saint
So what are these chains
He holds on both of us
You give it your best
But you can't forget
And my love's not strong enough
To put out a fire that someone else lit
Or walk in the footprints that never will fit

I can't walk away
But how can I stay
Any way I step I lose
My back's to the wall
I stumble and fall
Trying to live my life in his shoes

I can't walk away
But how can I stay
Any way I step I lose
My back's to the wall
I stumble and fall
Trying to live my life in his shoes

In his shoes
In his shoes

In his shoes

I try living my life in his shoes

In his shoes

In his shoes

In his shoes...

Scratched a heart on your door
Then I showed myself outside
Lashed my soul 'cross this twin-v horse
And rode off in the night
Guess you noticed I'm gone
And the low morning sun's
Cast some shadows with questions inside
So the truth's in this letter
At dawn will shed a new light

Truth is I lied when I said
I'd always be your whippin' pet
I lied when I said,
"I shouldn't mind the hurt I guess"
When I pleaded and stated
I needed you just to survive
Truth is last night when you
Tore my heart apart my mind began
Never thinkin' 'bout thinkin' like your fool again
And a freedom that filled me
Kept spelling out truth as I'd write
Truth is I lied

Saw an image of you
Where the highway touched the sky
It was blockin' my view
So I steered that thought aside
Now the morning and me ride
A cold memory past tomorrow to some other town
Where we'll never care whether
This truth was lost or found

Truth is I lied when I said
I'd always be your whippin' pet
I lied when I said,
"I shouldn't mind the hurt I guess"
When I pleaded and stated
I needed you just to survive (I lied)
Truth is last night when you
Tore my heart apart my mind began
Never thinkin' 'bout thinkin' like your fool again
And a freedom that filled me
Kept spelling out truth as I'd write
Truth is I lied

Truth is I lied...

The first time I laid eyes on you
I knew it must be love
From the moment you first spoke to me
You were all I could think of
The first time we were together
Oh, the time just went so fast
I recall when you first kissed me
I said it won't be the last

Now it's the first time that I call our house
To find out it's not mine
It's the first time I reach out for you
But you're not there to find
And it's the first time that I call your name
To realize it was the past
It's the first time that you broke my heart
But it won't be the last

When I think back on yesterday
Being in your loving arms
Like the dreams that we let slip away
The memories live on
And I pray to God for answers
To all the questions that I have
Another night of missing you
But it won't be the last

'Cause it's the first time that I call our house
To find out it's not mine
It's the first time I reach out for you
But you're not there to find
And it's the first time that I call your name
To realize it was the past
It's the first time that you broke my heart
But it won't be the last

It's the first time that you broke my heart
It won't be the last...

I look for you in the morning with the sunrise
And I search for you all day through
And at night I as lay my head down on my pillow
I close my eyes dream only of you

CHORUS
Someday, somewhere, somehow
I know that I will be with you
Someday, somewhere, somehow
My dreams of us together will come true
Someday somewhere somehow

Not a second ticks off the clock that you dont cross my mind
And with every beat of my heart I'm by your side
But the truth of the matter isn't make believe
And my love once again has been denied

CHORUS

I knew a man called him Sandy Kane
Few folks even knew his name
But a hero yes was he
Left a boy came back a man
Still many just don't understand
About the reasons we are free

I can't forget the look in his eyes
Or the tears he cried
As he said these words to me

All gave some and some gave all
And some stood through for the red, white and blue
And some had to fall
And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall
Some gave all...

Now Sandy Kane is no longer here
But his words are oh so clear
As they echo throughout our land
For all his friends who gave us all
Who stood the ground and took the fall
To help their fellow man

Love your country and live with pride
And don't forget those who died
America can't you see

All gave some and some gave all
And some stood through for the red, white and blue
And some had to fall
And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall
Some gave all...

And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall, yes recall
Some gave all

Some gave all...

I know you've seen all your dreams turn to dust
I know your heart's been left in the rain to rust
But you wont be lonely now.
I see a long trail of tears in your eyes
Back to the day when the innocense died
But you wont be lonely now.

I wanna give you everything you need
I wanna show you
You wont be lonely
You wont be lonely now.

Holding you here like a rose in the dark
I make this promise to you from my heart
You wont be lonely now.

I wanna give you everything you need
I wanna show you
You wont be lonely now.
I'll do anything to make you see
How I'm gonna love you
You wont be lonely
You wont be lonely.

Now that you're here in my arms I'm alive
For the first time in a long time I
Look at my face in the mirror and see
The man that I've wanted to be.
Oh yeah.

--- Instrumental ---
Woo

I wanna give you everything you need
I wanna show you
You wont be lonely now
I'll do anything to make you see
How I'm gonna love you
You wont be lonely
You wont be lonely
You wont be lonely, now...

Times were rough when times were lean
Most the time nobody seemed to care
No more peace than a southern breeze
Whistling through the willow trees
And I see you standing there
And I reach out to touch your face
But the cold hard facts of life put me in my place

Southern rain fallin' down on me
Thinkin' back to yesterday and the way things used to be
"Sweet Home" on the radio, why do things have to change
Oh Lord, what I would not give to feel that southern rain

--- Instrumental ---

Watermelon growin' on the vine
The sweet taste of homemade wine
And the soft touch of your fingertips
Layin' down by the riverside
Do you recall how we used to hide
So I could taste your lips
Though the winds of change took me from home
So many years just passed me by
And now I'm all alone

Southern rain fallin' down on me
Thinkin' back to yesterday and the way things used to be
"Sweet Home" on the radio, why do things have to change
Oh Lord, what I would not give to feel that southern rain

You said that we could last forever
But I had my wild oats, yet to sow
Through every storm and each endeavor
The past and the love we found
Just will not let me go

Southern rain fallin' down on me
Thinkin' back to yesterday and the way things used to be
"Sweet Home" on the radio, why do things have to change
Oh Lord, what I would not give to feel that southern rain.
Oh Lord, what I would not give to feel that southern,
Southern Rain

Oh Lord, what I would not give to feel that southern rain.
Oh, to feel that southern rain.
Oh, to feel that southern rain.
Southern Rain
Can you feel that Southern Rain
Southern Rain...

Well it's a twenty-five mile drive from here to town
Ther's gray skies and there's no doubt
Rain's comin'down this morning
I get off the interstate fifteen minutes late
For an appointment that I really didn't need to make
God, this routine bores me
Well it's getting on twelve and I ain't had a bite
I'm all coffee'd up, sleepy eyed,wound up tight
And it's only Monday, Monday
I've had the wholenight and now half the day
To think about what you said and what I need to change
But it's all the same, it's all the same
'Cause
Chorus:
All I'm thinkin' 'bout is you
All I'm thinkin' 'bout is you
All I'm thinkin' 'bout is you

Well I skipped lunch with the boss at that sleazy little bar
Stopped to get gas, a bag of chips
And got back in the car and started drivin'
I headed down the road where the air is clean
And the grass is green and the birds sing to clear his head
Full of things that I've been denying
But its all in vain

Repeat chorus twice

Well it's five o'clock sharp and it's getting dark now
It's bumper to bumper and it's raining buckets down
But I'm smiling, yeah I'm smiling

Repeat chorus 4 times.

WE THE PEOPLE
The farmers rise up every morning at five
The truckers drive them eighteen wheelers all night
The factory workers they build it with pride
Twenty four-seven down the assembly line
In every city, in every town
Somebody's gotta make the world go 'round
We the people move it, we the people know
We the people we run the country
We the peole prove it we're the heart and soul
We the people we run the country
Here's to every salesman on the telephone line
And every waitress working hard for those dimes
The middle managers who punch overtime
And anyone fighting wars fires and crimes
Day after day, year after year
The mint might print it but the buck stops here
We the people move it, we the people know
We the people we run the country
We the peole prove it we're the heart and soul
We the people we run the country
(instrumental break)
We pay the taxes, we pay the bills
So they better pay attention up on Capitol Hill
We the People of the United States
In order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice
Insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence
And secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity
Do ordain and establish this Constitution
Of the United States of America
We the people move it, we the people know
We the people we run the country
We the peole prove it we're the heart and soul
We the people we run the country
We the people choose it, we the people vote
We the people we run the country
We the peole rock it we the people roll
We the people we run the country
We the people move it, we the people know
We the people we run the country

I will crawl through your grief
I will cry 'til i drown
Cut a path through your dark
'Til I'm lost and you're found
Turn your black into gray
I won't hurt when I bleed
I'll give up my desire
'Til you get what you need

*chorus*
Ask me I'll be there, whenever you fall
To do anything, everything, nothing at all
I'll move any mountain that keeps you from me
I'll change, rearrange, disappear in your dreams
Please don't ask me to let go or make me give up
Cause I love you that much and I will
It'll kill me, but I will

I'll never say that
I know how you feel
But I know in your heart
That those deamons are real
So don't push me out
And I won't pull you in
I won't let lose
If you'll let me win

*chorus*
Ask me I'll be there, whenever you fall
To do anything, everything, nothing at all
I'll move any mountain that keeps you from me
I'll change, rearrange, disappear in your dreams
Please don't ask me to let go or make me give up
Cause I love you that much and I will
It'll kill me, but I will

If you can just look past your fears
You'll see me standing right there

*chorus*
Ask me I'll be there, whenever you fall
To do anything, everything, nothing at all
I'll move any mountain that keeps you from me
I'll change, rearrange, disappear in your dreams
Please don't ask me to let go or make me give up
Cause I love you that much and I will
It'll kill me, but I will
BABY I WILL!!

All I could see was her cigarette burnin'
She only smokes when she's sad
All I could hear was that engine turnin'
That's when I knew it was bad.
She's never made it as far
As the car before
She got my attention
When she slammed that Chevy door.
I best be hittin' my knees
Beggin' and pleadin'
Choking down some pride
Before she drops it into drive, I can't have that.
Best be foldin' my hands
For one more chance
Baby don't go
Let me love you back.
Trippin' and stumblin'
And barefooted on the gravel
Fightin' my way through the rain
I bang on the window
Oh, but she won't have it
She just keeps lookin' the other way.
She wipes away her tears
And the steam from the glass
Got her hand on the shifter
And her foot on the gas.
I best be hittin' my knees
Beggin' and pleadin'
Choking down some pride
Before she drops it into drive, I can't have that.
Best be foldin' my hands
For one more chance
Baby don't go
Let me love you back.
Oh, I hope it's not too late
But now I see that all you've ever done
Is put your heart and soul into loving me
And I know it's time I did my part.
Down on my knees beggin'
And pleadin' put away my pride
Baby, give me your hand
One more chance, don't go, don't go.
Let me love you back.
Let me love you back.
Aw, let me love you back.
Aw now, now, now, let me love you back.

I borrowed some money, I sold my car
I put an Airstream trailer, up on blocks
That satellite dish was my first mistake
She started watching Oprah Winfrey and Ricki Lake

She cut me down to once a week
At supper time there wasn't nothing to eat
I was paranoid and scared to death
She came home with Aqua Velva on her breath

Burn down the trailer park
Shoot the pink flamingoes out in the yard
I can't live here since she broke my heart
I'm gonna burn down the trailer park

She hired the neighbor's son to cut our grass
She gave him cold iced tea and a piece of pie
My landlord came while I was out of town
My pipes got fixed and the rent went down

We fell asleep with the late show on
Now it's 3:00 a.m. and I wake up and she's gone
I've got a strong suspicion she's at it again
And since I don't know which trailer she's in

I'm gonna burn down the trailer park
Shoot the pink flamingoes out in the yard
I can't live here since she broke my heart
I'm gonna burn down the trailer park

Uh!
Burn it down!
Come on!

Jenny Jones don't understand
Geraldo don't understand
Maury Povich sure don't understand
I've got a can of gas and I'm a dangerous man

I'm gonna burn down the trailer park
Shoot the pink flamingoes out in the yard
I can't live here since she broke my heart
I'm gonna burn down the trailer park

Burn down the trailer park
Shoot the pink flamingoes out in the yard
I can't live here since she broke my heart
I'm gonna burn down the trailer park
Burn down the trailer park

Burn it down.

Everywhere I Wanna Be
(Marty Dodson - Danny Wells)

I like the me I see in your eyes
And knowing that I'm the one that makes you smile
You've given love a name and a face
Showed me that it can be a beautiful place.

Everywhere I wanna be in this life
Is here by your side, baby
All I ever wanna do is get lost in lovin' you
Long as you're with me I'm everywhere I wanna be.

Your breath on my skin is a tropical breeze
Your kisses send an arctic chill over me
Why wander the planet what could I hope to see
The view when I hold you is amazing to me.

Everywhere I wanna be in this life
Is here by your side, baby
All I ever wanna do is get lost in lovin' you
Long as you're with me I'm everywhere I wanna be.

Oh, oh,
--- Instrumental ---
Oh, oh

Everywhere I wanna be in this life
Is here by your side, baby

Everywhere I wanna be in this life
Is here by your side, baby
All I ever wanna do is get lost in lovin' you
Long as you're with me I'm everywhere
I wanna be.

I Wanna be...

Call me the biggest fool that the world's seen yet
I've been going GA GA since the day we met
I admit that I've gone insane
I go all the pieces when I hear your name

Hot in the head, weak in the knees
Girl you gotta me beggin baby please, please, please

Crazy bout you baby
What can I do?
Crazy bout you baby
I'm in love with you
Everything about you makes my heart go boom
Crazy bout you baby

Girl I get the shivers every time we touch
This aint your average ordinary schoolboy crush
Spend all day dreamin how its gonna be
When the sun goes down and you're next to me
Holding you close feels so right
Kissin and huggin and lovin all night.

Crazy bout you baby
What can I do?
Crazy bout you baby
I'm in love with you
Everything about you makes my heart go boom
Crazy bout you baby

Kissin and huggin and lovin all night.

I remember the time
Before you were mine
And I was dying to be with you
Now you've gone away
And I'm in this place
But your memory hasn't moved
The shadow you cast just grows larger than life
How can the past cut two hearts like a knife?

I can't walk away
But how can I stay?
Any way I step I lose
My back's to the wall
I stumble and fall
Trying to live my life without you.

You weren't a saint
So what are these chains
You hold on both of us
You give it your best
But you can't forget
And my love's not strong enough
To put out a fire that someone else lit
Or walk in the footprints that never will fit.

I can't walk away
But how can I stay?
Any way I step I lose
My back's to the wall
I stumble and fall
Trying to live my life without you.

can't walk away
But how can I stay?
Any way I step I lose
My back's to the wall
I stumble and fall
Trying to live my life without you

In his shoes

Hey Elvis won't cha come back home

On a windin' dirt back road
In the hills of Arkansas
In a little country farmhouse
With his mama and his pa
Lived a plain old plough boy
By the name of Colton Mall

He'd never took to farmin'
He had racin' in his blood
Hope and Will and Mighty Fine was the only stock he'd run
Had a local reputation
But for Colt that wasn't enough

To be the fastest horse in a one horse town
He leaves them all in the dust
On the fastest tracks around
He gets that fire in his eyes
And takes off like a gun
When the smoke clears
Someone in the crowd hollers
"Son there goes the fastest horse in a one horse town"

He beat it to Daytona
The big boys laughed and said
Looks like they've turned a pack mule loose among these thoroughbreds
Colt said, "This old mule's been places most blue bloods fear to tread."
But a thousand left turns later
Foot still on the gas
The leader watched a car slip by
And beat him to the flag
And painted on the trunk
There were the words
"Boy you just been passed
By the fastest horse in a one horse town."
He leaves them all in the dust
On the fastest tracks around
And takes off like a gun
When the smoke clears
Someone in the crowd hollers
"Son, there goes the fastest horse in a one horse town."

He's the fastest horse in a one horse town
He leaves them all in the dust
On the fastest tracks around
He gets that fire in his eyes
And takes off like a gun
And when the smoke clears
Someone in the crowd hollers
"Son, there goes the fastest horse in a one horse town."

Run run Rudolph Santa's gotta make it to town

All I want for Christmas is a rockin roll electric guitar
And away went Rudolph whizzing like a shooting star

She is all I ever could've wanted her to be
She always knew just how to give the best of love to me
I thought I knew a thing or two about the ways of love
But it was soon to become so clear I didn't know enough
One day I found a note beside the ring she'd left behind
She said that here is all you need to know for better love next time

Say your love is strong and true
Let her know all she meant to you
Show her she's that special one
Who shines in your eyes like the rising sun
Give love less room to grow
Treat her tender and you will know
The secret to the treasures of heaven
In the heart of a woman

A bridge was burned and a lesson learned I never will forget
And for her timeless wisdom I'm forever in her debt
Last night I heard a good friend say he finally found the one
I told him to be sure these precious things weren't left undone

Say your love is strong and true
Let her know all she meant to you
Show her she's that special one
Who shines in your eyes like a rising sun
Give love less room to grow
Treat her tender and you will know
The secret to the treasures of heaven
In the heart of a woman

In the heart of a woman

Say your love is strong and true
Let her know all she meant to you
Show her she's that special one
Who shines in your eyes like the rising sun
Give love less room to grow
Treat her tender and you will know
The secret to the treasures of heaven
In the heart of a woman

Say your love is strong and true
Let her know all she meant to you
Show her she's that special one
Who shines in your eyes like the rising sun
Give love less room to grow
Treat her tender and you will know
The secret to the treasures of heaven
In the heart of a woman

In the heart of a woman
In the heart of a woman
In the heart of a woman

Well, hold on baby, something's happenin' here
I read your body language perfectly clear
But, something's fishy baby, baby,
It's like the cat got your tongue
Well you done proved you ain't shy, honey
Look me in the eye and talk some

I know you're there baby, I hear you breathin'
Let's use some caution lady, before proceedin', talk some
Tell me what's your game, talk some
Girl I don't even know your name
Honey, I'm here to listen,
We got coffee in the kitchen, talk some

You make me nervous baby, don't keep me waiting
Is there some secret you ain't articulatin'
I've got to ask baby, I've got to know
Is there something in your past
Or is there someone back home

You're into mystery baby, but I can do without it
Tonight is history, lady, if we can't talk about it
You call the signals, maybe it's time to pass, kick or run
Well honey I ain't hard of hearing
Come and whisper in my ear and talk some

--- Instrumental ---

You think it's strange baby, I deem it necessary
I've got to have some of your vocabulary
I'm getting tired of this game of Tom and Jerry
Dictate your thoughts baby, I'll be your secretary

Are you from Detroit, are you from Tallahassee
I can't believe you ain't got something to tell or ask me
Don't think it's crazy baby, it's just my rule of thumb
How will we know where we're going
If we don't know where we're been talk some

Well honey I'm here to listen,
We got coffee in the kitchen, talk some.
Well you've done proved you ain't shy,
Honey, look me in the eye and talk some

Talk some
Talk some
Talk some
Talk some
Talk some
Talk some
Talk some
Talk some
Talk some
Talk some
Talk some
Talk some
Talk some
Talk some
Talk some
Talk some
Talk some
Talk some...

I wish you all the best, love, love and happiness, love
And everything you'd ever want to have, see or do
And from the bottom of my heart
I hope you never find somebody new

And anyone who tells you that broken hearts mend easy
Has never ever loved the way that I have loved you
As long as there's a chance for us
I hope you never find somebody new

You have not convinced me yet to go
My heart still says there's something going on
And until I know we're finally through
I hope you never find somebody new

I'm acting like an actor, dancing like a dancer
But when the curtain falls I always call out for you
As long as I still love you
I hope you never find somebody new

You have not convinced me yet to go
My heart still says there's something going on
And until I know we're finally through
I hope you never find somebody new

I hope you never find somebody new
Somebody new, somebody new...

There was a time for you
There was a time for me
There was a time when we were one
It's time to see through cloudy days
A time when we can find our way
Through thick and thin we still had fun

But as all those things have to change
Nothing ever remains the same
I made mistakes, you made some too
I guess there's things we just can't undo
Does this mean we're through

Now it's time to make it clear
Do you still want me here
Or would you'd rather me move on down the line
Please help me try to understand
Tell me if it's got a plan
Heaven or hell only time will tell

--- Instrumental ---

Tell me should I stop believing
Pack my bags and just stop feeling
But baby one kiss might say farewell
Only time will tell, only time will tell
Only time will tell, only time will tell
Only time will tell, only time will tell
Only time will tell, only time will tell...

I've been your hound
But now I'm breaking this chain
Too late to throw me a bone
I'm sick of fetching and sleeping in the rain
Ole Sparky's hittin' the road.

I won't be howlin' 'round your house
Won't be scratchin' your door
Won't be howlin' 'round your house
Ain't your dog no more.

I graduated from obedience school
I'd roll and sit when I was told
Woke up hungry, went searchin' for some food
Some other Rover's at the dog food bowl.

I won't be howlin' 'round your house
Won't be scratchin' your door
Won't be howlin' 'round your house
Ain't your dog no more.

The pack you found me with
Was bayin' at the moon
I begged to follow you home
Tonight I heard 'em, they was playin' my tune
Don't bother callin' girl, I'm dog gone.

I won't be howlin' 'round your house
Won't be scratchin' your door
Won't be howlin' 'round your house
Ain't your dog no more.

Won't be howlin' 'round your house
Ain't your dog no more
I ain't your dog no more ...

I went through the closet back in my old home
Found a letterman's jacket so I slipped it on
Deep in the pocket still folded up tight
Was the letter you wrote to tell me goodbye

The minute I saw it I just had to smile
It smelled like old leather as smooth as a child
I took a deep breath then put it away
There was no need to read it I knew just what it would say

I know the words by heart, I know every line
From this ain't easy to you'll get along just fine
I know every comma, every question mark
No I don't have to look I know the words by heart

Seems like home movies flash through my head
The homecoming game, that night on my bed
The words that you wrote still cut me in two
How you said you still cared but that we were through

I know the words by heart, I know every line
From this ain't easy to you'll get along just fine
I know every comma, every question mark
No I don't have to look I know the words by heart

Ain't it funny how a memory can play tricks on your mind
I don't remember a thing from my classes but I can quote you every line

I took off my jacket and put it away
With your note in the pocket like I found it that day
Poured me a beer then pictured your face
And drank a silent toast to things that time can't erase

I know the words by heart, I know every line
From this ain't easy to you'll get along just fine
I know every comma, every question mark
No I don't have to look I know the words by heart

I know the words by heart, I know every line
From this ain't easy to you'll get along just fine
I know every comma, every question mark
No I don't have to look I know the words by heart

I know the words

The first time I laid eyes on you
I knew it must be love
From the moment you first spoke to me
You were all I could think of
The first time we were together
Oh, the time just went so fast
I recall when you first kissed me
I said it won't be the last

Now it's the first time that I call our house
To find out it's not mine
It's the first time I reach out for you
But you're not there to find
And it's the first time that I call your name
To realize it was the past
It's the first time that you broke my heart
But it won't be the last

When I think back on yesterday
Being in your loving arms
Like the dreams that we let slip away
The memories live on
And I pray to God for answers
To all the questions that I have
Another night of missing you
But it won't be the last

'Cause it's the first time that I call our house
To find out it's not mine
It's the first time I reach out for you
But you're not there to find
And it's the first time that I call your name
To realize it was the past
It's the first time that you broke my heart
But it won't be the last

It's the first time that you broke my heart
It won't be the last...

You build me up just to tear me down
You're slammin' my name all over this town
Girl, I can't believe what you're putting me through
Breakin' my heart with the things that you do
Every story has a lesson to learn
It won't be long 'til you take your turn
Cause what goes up must come down
You're throwin' stones and they'll come back around for you

As you saw so you reap
What you love is what you keep
You told me that your heart was mine
Yet behind my back you shared your time
Join the club, you've paid your dues
It won't be long 'til you're singin' the blues
Cause what goes up must come down
You're throwin' stones and they'll come back around for you


Every dog must have its day
We all know there's a price to pay
You gotta pay the piper if you wanna dance
Live with it, baby, when you take a chance
All good things gotta come to an end
Ask your maker about your sins
Cause what goes up must come down
You're throwin' stones and they'll come back around for you


Cause what goes up must come down
You're throwin' stones and they'll come back around for you

First time I held you I knew
The feelings that we shared were true
And now the nights take me away
They're getting longer every day
And I don't know what to do

Right face, the wrong time for love
You are all I can think of
Is this the way love has to be
You there instead of here with me
The right face but the wrong time for love

When we're together it feels so right
All the ways you love me day and night
In this world fools are supposed
To suffer through another broken heart
Is it worth this damned abuse

Right face, the wrong time for love
You are all I can think of
Is this the way love has to be


You there instead of here with me
The right face but the wrong time for love

Aren't you a dreamer just like me
Can't we make it what we want it to be
Oh years have just no use

The right face, the wrong time for love
You are all I can think of
Is this the way love has to be
You there instead of here with me
The right face but the wrong time for love

The right face but the wrong time for love
The right face but the wrong time for love

The right face, the wrong time
The right face, the wrong time

Well there's a cruel sun beating
Where there once was a river
Crops are bending in the heat
But still her dark skin shivers
When you move to the beat of hungry
It's a slow aching journey
She'd hide but there ain't no shelter
Yet the cool of the night
Reveals the spark of the sweeter life
So she dreamin' in color and livin' in black and white

[Chorus]
Dreamin' in color livin' in stone cold black and white
Sittin' a grey day leanin' on a bright new tomorrow
Where some rainbow rules will make everything all right

She ain't about to let the blues over come her
She'll contend with this day to day life
She's just dreamin' in color and livin' in black and white

Well it's a gunshot down
Here in the heart of the city
He slides closer to his mama
It's months since they've seen daddy
There's a pale light shinin'
From a bare refrigerator
By the stained cracked plaster
By the cold radiator
But he's sure out beyond these mean streets
There lies paradise
So he's dreamin' in color and livin' in black and white

[Chorus]

He ain't about to let the blues over come him
He'll contend with this day to day life
He's just dreamin' in color and livin' in black and white

[Chorus]

They ain't about to let the blues over come them
They'll contend with this day life
They're just dreamin' in color and livin' in black and white
They're just dreamin' in color and livin' in black and white

Dreamin' in color livin' in stone cold black and white [Repeat: x4]

Well, it seems you thought it over
And you feel I'm not the one
And you think you might do better on your own
You say lover's vows only hold you down
So I guess I'm moving on
What'll you think about me when I'm gone

What'll you think about me
When I'm gone, said and done
When old memories fall like footsteps
Will you think it's me coming home
Well, I thought your eyes could see compromise,
But that's one thing you've never done
What'll you think about me when I'm gone

Will some other's kiss taste sweeter or
Will my pictures haunt your room
Will it make your nights pass easier or
Will you think you were a fool
When my pillow's bare and you're lying there,
Will a heartache linger on
What'll you think about me when I'm gone

What'll you think about me when I'm gone...
