Let's take a rest
Your kisses take my breath You are the best It's never been like this. She used to say that to me Over and over, so sweet She'll tell you she'll never leave She used to say that to me. It thrills you so When she whispers soft and low "Please hold me tight I need your love tonight." She used to say that to me Over and over, so sweet She'll tell you she'll never leave She used to say that to me. "I'm yours," she sighs And she means it at the time But someday she'll go If you're wonderin' how I know. She used to say that to me Over and over, so sweet She'll tell you she'll never leave She used to say that. She used to say that to me. Over and over, so sweet She'll tell you she'll never leave She used to say that to me. She used to say that to me... |

Thought I'd go crazy when you said goodbye
I didn't have that far to go But I made a wrong turn somewhere in the night Down a long and lonely road To Honkytonkville, an ideal Home away from home sweet home Honkytonkville where I don't feel A thing since you've been gone Where the future's always bright In the glow of neon lights Livin' high on Barstool Hill in Honkytonkville There's friendly faces everywhere I turn Droppin' quarters in the slot Lord knows that we've all got memories to burn And that's why that jukebox plays around the clock To Honkytonkville, an ideal Home away from home sweet home Honkytonkville where I don't feel A thing since you've been gone Where the future's always bright In the glow of neon lights Livin' high on Barstool Hill in Honkytonkville Livin' high on Barstool Hill in Honkytonkville... |

Those city lights drew you like a magnet
You were attracted to his high-falootin' crowd I begged you not to go, but you still packed up I've been expectin' you Oh, look who's back from town My old truck could not compare to his Mercedes Did it humble you when you rode back on that Greyhound You picked a plastic rose and left a field of daisies I've been expectin' you Oh, look who's back from town What brings you back to this part of the country Well, let me guess, ol' loverboy let you down Did he throw you away like his money I've been expectin' you Oh, look who's back from town What brings you back to this part of the country Well let me guess, ol' loverboy let you down Did he throw you away like his money I've been expectin' you Oh, look who's back from town I've been expectin' you Oh, look who's back from town... |

I take off time to time
With those crazy friends of mine Head out on steel horses With wheels and we ride We burn up that road To old Mexico Blend in with the desert Just we amigos And we roll Cowboys like us Sure do have fun Racing the wind Chasing the sun Take the long way around Back to square one Today we're just outlaws Out on the run There'll be no regrets No worries and such Cowboys like us We talk about living Babies and women All that we've lost And all we've been given We sing about true love Lie about things we ain't done We drink one more cold one Come morning we get up And we roll Cowboys like us Sure do have fun Racing the wind Chasing the sun Take the long way around Back to square one Today we're just outlaws Out on the run There'll be no regrets No worries and such Cowboys like us Cowboys like us Sure do have fun Racing the wind Chasing the sun Take the long way around Back to square one Today we're just outlaws Out on the run There'll be no regrets No worries and such Cowboys like us Cowboys like us |

Love is so beautiful
When everything is fine But when it is like hers and mine And lives and dies at least ten thousand times. Tell me something bad about Tulsa How those old oil wells smell in the wind Tell me something bad about Tulsa So I won't have to go back, believing I belong there again. Eyes as blue as Tulsa skies I kept getting lost in when I met her Hair like Oklahoma sand I could run my hands through forever But all good things must end All rivers have to bend I keep running But she keeps pulling me back in. Tell me something bad about Tulsa How those old oil wells smell in the wind Tell me something bad about Tulsa So I won't have to go back, believing I belong there again. Tell me something bad about Tulsa So I won't have to go back, believing I belong there again... |

Lately I've found myself falling
Deeper in love with you I'm not the kind of guy who gets swept away So here is what I'm gonna do I am gonna give you this heart of mine But that's where I draw the line I'm only gonna give you everything Take it a mile beyond the end of the road I'm gonna love you one day past forever But that's as far as it goes I know it may not sound like much But baby make no mistake I'm gonna treat you with more tenderness Than any one woman can take I'm gonna make all your dreams come true But after that baby I'm through I'm only gonna give you everything Take it a mile beyond the end of the road I'm gonna love you one day past forever But that's as far as it goes You've got your limits I've got mine I'm only gonna go the distance Time after time I'm only gonna give you everything Take it a mile beyond the end of the road I'm gonna love you one day past forever But that's as far as it goes But that's as far as it goes |

I hear you callin' my name You're lyin' next to me I give into your charms You disappear in my arms I realize it's just a dream, but Desperately, I long to feel your touch But you left me all alone in love And now I Shake the sleep from my head And try to crawl out of bed Today is just another day I make the coffee for one I turn the radio on Pretend that everything's ok, but Desperately, I long to feel your touch But you left me all alone in love And now I Know there's no reason to smile It's gonna take me awhile 'Cause I still love you desperately Desperately, I long to feel your touch But you left me all alone in love And now I Watch the sun goin' down There ain't nobody around I feel a night in the breeze I keep on tellin' myself I don't need nobody else And I can do as I please, but Desperately, I long to feel your touch But you left me all alone in love And now I Desperately, I long to feel your touch But you left me all alone in love And now Every night it's the same I hear you callin' my name I still love you desperately I still love you I still want you I still love you desperately... |

I don't know what to think of it
Sometimes I hate it Sometimes I love it Girl, this relationship we're in To say the least it's puzzlin' Like a crossword puzzle Fill in the blanks What's four down and twelve across Two letter synonym for lost That's me And a three letter word That rhymes with "through" Oh I get it, That's you Never believed in horoscopes But to the left of the ad For a new dishwashin' soap Dear Abby's got some good advice For a troubled couple lost in paradise In the Living section Page two What's four down and twelve across Two letter synonym for lost That's me And a three letter word That rhymes with "through" Oh I get it, That's you That's me That's us Sometimes love aint enough We try and try For the life of me, why did we give up What's four down and twelve across Two letter synonym for lost That's me And a three letter word That rhymes with "through" Oh I get it, That's you That's me Oh, that's us What's four down and twelve across That's us |

I don't want to be the kind to hesitate,
Be too shy, wait too late I don't care what they say other lovers do, I just want to dance with you. I gotta feeling that you have a heart like mine, So let it show, let it shine. If we have a chance to make one heart of two, I just want to dance with you. I want to dance with you, twirl you all around the floor That's what they intended dancin' for, I just want to dance with you. I want to dance with you, hold you in my arms once more, That's what they invented dancin' for, I just want to dance with you. I caught you lookin' at me when I looked at you, Yes I did, ain't that true? You won't get embarrassed by the things I do, I just want to dance with you. Oh the boys are playin' softly and the girls are too, So am I and so are you. If this was a movie, we'd be right on cue, I just want to dance with you. I want to dance with you, twirl you all around the floor That's what they intended dancin' for, I just want to dance with you.

I couldn't help but overhear your conversation
When you told her that you owned her heart and soul You say you've got her wrapped around your finger But there's somethin' about angels you should know. She'll walk away one step at a time It'll take you by surprise You'll think it happened over night It'll be too late when you realize angels don't fly They just walk away one step at a time. Don't think that I'm tryin' to mind your business It's a full time job just tryin' to mind mine But I once had an angel just like her And if I'd treated her right she'd still be by my side. She'll walk away one step at a time It'll take you by surprise You'll think it happened over night It'll be too late when you realize angels don't fly They just walk away one step at a time. It'll be too late when you realize angels don't fly They just walk away one step at a time... |

True in this modern world, when two lovers get together
chances of em ever makin it to forever, couldn't be better than two in a million hearts. Girl this ain't just another run of the mill emotion, What I'm feelin' the definition of devotion, my love for you is true True like the sun comin' up each mornin, Bright as the light in a baby's smile, Sure as the mountain river winding, Right as the rain fallin' from the sky, Girl my love for you, is true True not another minute on this earth can be borrowed, so there's no way to know when i'll live my last tomorrow but everyday i get i'll share with you this feelin just keeps getting stronger as the time goes by it's written on my face you can see it in my eyes My love for you is true True like the sun comin' up each mornin, Bright as the light in a baby's smile, Sure as the mountain river winding, Right as the rain fallin' from the sky, Girl my love for you, is true True like the sun comin' up each mornin, Bright as the light in a baby's smile, Sure as the mountain river winding, Right as the rain fallin' from the sky, Girl my love for you, is true |

Girl, you were always my yellow rose
And I was your one lone star We always said Together till death do us part We had a love bigger than Texas Where is that feeling now It's taken some hits and losses but it's fighting on And standing somehow. Remember the man who asked for your hand In the moonlight of San Antone There by the mission you let your position be known That you loves me so Don't forget where it started Remember the Alamo. I think we can hold on and make it together If we remember when And get back to love The way that it was back then. When we were hopeless romantics needing each other Willing to take a chance We strolled and we talked down the ol' river walk To the heart of where it began. Remember the man who asked for your hand In the moonlight of San Antone There by the mission you let your position be known That you loves me so Don't forget where it started Remember the Alamo. Remember the man who asked for your hand In the moonlight of San Antone There by the mission you let your position be known That you loves me so Don't forget where it started Don't forget where it started Remember the Alamo... |

There's a soft rain tappin' on your window
There's a cool breeze blowin' off the bay And a warm flame dancin' with our shadows To music playin' far away. I never meant to stay an hour I thought that I was passin' through Another town along the highway I never meant to fall for you. But, I can't speak for you, Maria I only know the way I feel When I sleep with you, Maria There's nothing' left for dreams to steal On a Bible by the mirror The only treasures that we hold The only secrets that we're keepin' A watch, a chain, a cross of gold But, I can't speak for you, Maria I only know the way I feel When I sleep with you, Maria There's nothing' left for dreams to steal When the sunlight brings the mornin' I can't tell you what I'll do But, I've a mind to take you with me And I've a heart to stay with you But, I can't speak for you, Maria I only know the way I feel When I sleep with you, Maria There's nothing' left for dreams to steal When I sleep with you, Maria There's nothin' left for dreams to steal... |

We really shouldn't be doing this and we both know why.
Just being close enough to think like this, enough to make you need to lie. This kinda talk will lead us to somewhere, We're gettin' way too close to going there The farther off the better to resist, we really shouldn't be doing this. Only an isolated incident, but the acquaintance left me stunned. The first attraction was the hardest hit I thought I'd ever overcome. This kinda situation has to pass, this chance encounter has to be the last. To take it further we would be remiss, we really shouldn't be doing this. We'd each be hurting somebody else if we don't say our good-byes real fast. Won't even think about a farewell kiss, we really shouldn't be doing this. Well...

Her telephone rang 'bout a quarter to nine.
She heard his voice on the other end of the line; She wondered what was wrong this time. She never knew what his calls might bring. With a cowboy like him it could be anything. And she always expected the worst in the back of her mind. He said, It's cold out here, and I'm all alone. I didn't make the short go again and I'm comin' home. I know I've been away too long. I never got a chance to write or call. I know this rodeo has been hard on us all. But I'll be home soon, and honey is there something wrong? She said, don't bother comin' home, By the time you get here I'll be long gone. There's some body new and he sure ain't no rodeo man. He said, I'm sorry it's come down to this. There's so much about you that I'm gonna miss. But it's all right baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne. Gotta go now baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne. He left that phone danglin' off the hook, Then slowly turned around and gave it one last look. Then he just walked away. He aimed his truck toward that Wyoming line With a little luck he can still get there in time. And in that Cheyenne wind he could still hear her say: She said, don't bother comin' home, By the time you get here I'll be long gone. There's some body new and he sure ain't no rodeo man. He said, I'm sorry it's came down to this. There's so much about you that I'm gonna miss. But it's all right baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne.

I got sent home from school one day
With a shiner on my eye Fightin' was against the rules and it didn't matter why When Dad got home I told that story just like I'd rehearsed Then stood there on those tremblin' knees And waited for the worst He said, "Let me tell you a secret about a father's love A secret that my daddy said was just between us" He said, "Daddies don't just love their children Every now and then, It's a love without end, amen It's a love without end, amen" When I became a father in the spring of '81 There was no doubt that stubborn boy Was just like my father's son And when I thought my patience Had been tested to the end I took my daddy's secret and passed it on to him I said, "Let me tell you a secret about a father's love A secret that my daddy said was just between us" I said, "Daddies don't just love their children Every now and then It's a love without end, amen It's a love without end, amen" Last night I dreamed I died and stood outside those pearly gates When suddenly I realized there must be some mistake If they know half the things I've done They'll never let me in Then somewhere from the other side I heard those words again They said, "Let me tell you a secret about a father's love A secret that my daddy said was just between us You see, daddies don't just love their children Every now and then It's a love without end, amen It's a love without end, amen" |

If there's a plane or a bus leaving Dallas
I hope you're on it If there's a train moving fast down the tracks I hope you caught it Cause I swear out there ain't where you ought to be So, catch a ride, catch a cab Don't you know I miss you bad But don't you walk to me Baby run Cut a path across the blue skies Straight in a straight line you can't get here fast enough Find a truck and fire it up lean on the gas and off the clutch Leave Dallas in the dust I need you in a rush So baby run If you ain't got a suitcase get a box or an old brown paper sack Pack it light or pack it heavy Take a truck, take a chevy Baby just come back There's a shortcut to the highway out of town Why don't you take it Don't let that speed limit slow ya down Go on and break it Baby run Cut a path across the blue skies Straight in a straight line You can't get here fast enough Find a truck and fire it up lean on the gas and off the clutch Leave Dallas in the dust I need you in a rush So baby run...Baby run...Oh baby run... |

Nobody saw him running from sixteenth avenue.
They never found the fingerprint or the weapon that was used. But someone killed country music, cut out its heart and soul. They got away with murder down on music row. The almighty dollar and the lust for worldwide fame Slowly killed tradition and for that someone should hang (oh, you tell them Alan). They all say not guilty, but the evidence will show That murder was committed down on music row. For the steel guitars no longer cry and fiddles barely play, But drums and rock 'n roll guitars are mixed right up in your face. Old Hank wouldn't have a chance on today's radio Since they committed murder down on music row. They thought no one would miss it, once it was dead and gone They said no one would buy them old drinking and cheating songs (I'll still buy 'em) Well there ain't no justice in it and the hard facts are cold Murder's been committed down on music row. Oh, the steel guitars no longer cry and you can't hear fiddles play With drums and rock 'n roll guitars mixed right up in your face Why, the Hag, he wouldn't have a chance on today's radio Since they committed murder down on music row Why, they even tell the Possum to pack up and go back home There's been an awful murder down on music row. |

Had a nice little life
A little boat, a little beach A little routine I liked A blue ocean view Free to go with the flow Anywhere that I wanted to But the moment you set foot on my shore That's when I knew. There's a difference in Living and living well You can't have it all All by yourself Something's always missing 'Til you share it with someone else There's a difference in living and living well. 'Til you sailed with me Thought that I had it good As good as it could be From the back of my deck Caught a fish, caught a breeze And a thousand red sunsets But sitting here with you girl I just saw The best one yet. There's a difference in Living and living well You can't have it all All by yourself Something's always missing 'Til you share it with someone else There's a difference in living and living well. My days are brighter My sky a deeper blue My nights are sweeter When I'm with you. There's a difference in Living and living well You can't have it all All by yourself Something's always missing 'Til you share it with someone else There's a difference in livin'.

Throwin' doubles down when he ordered up his third one He looked around, then he looked at me And said I do believe I oughta have one more. He said I hate this bar and I hate to drink, But on second thought, tonight I think I hate everything. Then he opened up his billfold and threw a 20 down And a faded photograph fell out and hit the ground And I picked it up he said Thank ya bud. I put it in his hand, He said I probably oughta throw This one away, 'cause she's the reason I feel this way, I hate everything. Well, I hate my job, and I hate my life. And if it werent for my two kids, I'd hate my ex-wife. I know I should move on and try to start again, But I just can't get over her leaving me for him. Then he shook his head and looked down at his ring, And said I hate everything. He said, That one bedroom apartment where I get my mail, Is really not a home, it's more like a jail, With a swimming pool and a parking lot view. Man, it's just great! I hate summer, winter, fall, and spring, Red and yellow, purple, blue and green. I hate everything. I hate my job, and I hate my life. And if it werent for my two kids, I'd hate my ex-wife.

I had to be crazy to say goodbye. Nobody in his right mind would've left her. Even my heart was smart enough to stay behind. I still carry her picture; I wish her well With the new love I know she's found by now. Each night finds me dreamin', each day I spend thinkin' How much I wish she was still around. 'Cause nobody in his right mind would've left her. I had to be crazy to say goodbye. Nobody in his right mind would've left her. Even my heart was smart enough to stay behind. |

I thought you and me were something special;
Thought you thought that way too. Now I know that this ol' boy just ain't The best you think you'll ever do. It ain't cool to be crazy about you, It ain't suave or debonair To let you know I care, like I do. It ain't smart to be so reckless with my heart. I should have known right from the start I'd end up like a fool Believe me, it ain't cool. All of my friends, they tried to tell me What and what not to do. It took a while for them to sell me, But finally they got through. It ain't cool to be crazy about you, It ain't suave or debonair To let you know I care, like I do.

All my ex's live in Texas
And Texas is the place I'd really love to be But all my ex's live in Texas And that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee. Rosanna's down in Texarkana Wanted me to push her broom Sweet Eileen's in Abilene She forgot I hung the moon And Allison's in Galveston Somehow lost her sanity And Dimple's who now lives in Temple's Got the law looking for me. All my ex's live in Texas And Texas is the place I'd really love to be But all my ex's live in Texas And that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee. I remember that old Frio River Where I learned to swim But it brings to mind another time Where I wore my welcome thin By transcendental meditation I go there each night But I always come back to myself Long before daylight.

Am I blue, yes I'm blue.
It started the day I lost you. Nobody ever missed somebody like I do. Am I blue, am I blue. Just this morning over coffee I set to crying 'cause you're gone, long gone. I didn't know just how much I was gonna miss you, Till I spent my first night alone. Am I blue, yes I'm blue. How could I have been such a fool? Now look at all the misery I'm going through. Am I blue, am I blue. Tried to call and say I'm sorry - I couldn't get you on the line. You'll never know just how much I'm wishing You would show up and say you've changed your mind.

But she was so much like a child A devil when she held me close An angel when she smiled She always held it deep inside But somehow I always knew She'd go away when the grass turned green And the sky turned baby blue Baby Blue was the color of her eyes Baby Blue like the Colorado skies Like a breath of spring she came and left And I still don't know why so Here's to you and whoever holds my Baby Blue tonight She brought colors to my life That my eyes had never touched And when she taught me how to care I never cared so much I try not to think of her but I fall asleep and do And drift off where the grass is green And the sky is baby blue Baby Blue was the color of her eyes Baby Blue like the Colorado skies Like a breath of spring she came and left And I still don't know why so Here's to you and whoever holds my Baby Blue tonight |

What a rotten day this turned out to be
I still can't believe she'd leave so easily She just got all her things, threw 'em into a pile Then she loaded her car and said after a while She'd done this before, but this time she didnt cry. That's why I'm sittin' on the front steps, starin' down the road Wondering if she'll come back this time, I dont know After she packed when she looked back, There were no tears in her eyes, and that's got me worried, Thinkin' maybe my baby's gotten good at goodbye. All the times before' she'd break down and cry She'd make her threats, but her heart wasn't set on goodbye She just wanetd me to hear what she had to say Now I'm lost for words, saying she went away She may not return for this time she didn't cry.

I got sent home from school one day
With a shiner on my eye Fightin' was against the rules and it didn't matter why When Dad got home I told that story just like I'd rehearsed Then stood there on those tremblin' knees And waited for the worst He said, "Let me tell you a secret about a father's love A secret that my daddy said was just between us" He said, "Daddies don't just love their children Every now and then, It's a love without end, amen It's a love without end, amen" When I became a father in the spring of '81 There was no doubt that stubborn boy Was just like my father's son And when I thought my patience Had been tested to the end I took my daddy's secret and passed it on to him I said, "Let me tell you a secret about a father's love A secret that my daddy said was just between us" I said, "Daddies don't just love their children Every now and then It's a love without end, amen It's a love without end, amen" Last night I dreamed I died and stood outside those pearly gates When suddenly I realized there must be some mistake If they know half the things I've done They'll never let me in Then somewhere from the other side I heard those words again They said, "Let me tell you a secret about a father's love A secret that my daddy said was just between us You see, daddies don't just love their children Every now and then It's a love without end, amen It's a love without end, amen" |

Well her old friend, from her own end of town dropped by today,
And way down deep inside me something died When he came 'round to see her that way. Here it comes again, that same old chilly wind Will blow like a cold winter squall. And I'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall. And I'll be drinking again and thinking whenever he calls, There's a storm coming on, it won't be too long till the snow falls. Oh I'll be sobersome, But when October comes and goes and no time at all I'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall. Oh how quick they slip away, here today and gone tomorrow. Love and seasons never stay, bitter winds are sure to follow. Now there's no doubt, it's gonna be cold out tonight; I've shivered all day, and when I look in her eyes Needing to hold her so tight, she just looks away. Oh she'll swear that it's true, he's just someone she knew Long ago, and I'll know that's not all, And I'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall.

I might as well go on and set her free, she's already turned me loose. No fault, no blame, nobody done no wrong- That's just the way it sometimes goes. Sometimes two people just don't get along, it's time to hit the road. [Chorus] Goodbye, farewell, so long, vaya con dios. Good luck, wish you well, take it slow. Easy come girl, easy go.

And I could feel that same old flame I once felt when she was mine. Always thought that I was missin' something, But I found out much too late. There'll never be another who'll love me that way. I'd like to have that one back, never known someone so true. And a love that pure and sweet is what a man should never lose. And if my lips had said, "I'm sorry", She might have stopped right in her tracks. But now I find my poor heart saying, "I'd like to have that one back." I can almost see her standing there, tears rollin' down her face. As she packed away her memories in that old worn out suitcase. If I'd only known then what I know now, I'd never opened that door.

There's just a hint of indifference
In her lack of conversation when we talk. And the subject matters change, There's no mention of our future now at all. She still kisses me each morning, But it seems more like a habit than before. I know she still loves me, But I don't think she likes me anymore. She used to laugh at all my jokes, But lately I can't seem to make her smile. And the last time we made love it was good, But God it's been a while. She's always there when I get home, But she's no longer waiting at the door. I know she still loves me, But I don't think she likes me anymore. 'Cause it's just a little colder every time I hold her. She's just going through the motions From what's left of her devotion; And it scares me half to death Wonderin' what tomorrow holds in store.

I don't believe in chasing crazy dreams, My feet are planted firmly on the ground, But darlin' when you come around I get carried away, by the look, by the light in your eyes Before I even realize the ride I'm on, and baby I'm long gone I get carried away, nothing matters but bein' with you Like a feather flyin' high up in the sky on a windy day I get carried away It might seem like an ordinary night, Same old stars, the same old moon up high But when I see you standin' at your door Nothin's ordinary anymore I get carried away, by the look, by the light in your eyes Before I even realize the ride I'm on, and baby I'm long gone I get carried away, nothing matters but bein' with you Like a feather flyin' high up in the sky on a windy day I get carried away I get carried away, by the look, by the light in your eyes Before I even realize the ride I'm on, and baby I'm long gone I get carried away, nothing matters but bein' with you Like a feather flyin' high up in the sky on a windy day I get carried away |

Her telephone rang 'bout a quarter to nine.
She heard his voice on the other end of the line; She wondered what was wrong this time. She never knew what his calls might bring. With a cowboy like him it could be anything. And she always expected the worst in the back of her mind. He said, It's cold out here, and I'm all alone. I didn't make the short go again and I'm comin' home. I know I've been away too long. I never got a chance to write or call. I know this rodeo has been hard on us all. But I'll be home soon, and honey is there something wrong? She said, don't bother comin' home, By the time you get here I'll be long gone. There's some body new and he sure ain't no rodeo man. He said, I'm sorry it's come down to this. There's so much about you that I'm gonna miss. But it's all right baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne. Gotta go now baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne. He left that phone danglin' off the hook, Then slowly turned around and gave it one last look. Then he just walked away. He aimed his truck toward that Wyoming line With a little luck he can still get there in time. And in that Cheyenne wind he could still hear her say: She said, don't bother comin' home, By the time you get here I'll be long gone. There's some body new and he sure ain't no rodeo man. He said, I'm sorry it's came down to this. There's so much about you that I'm gonna miss. But it's all right baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne. Gotta go now baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne. She never knew what his calls might bring. With a cowboy like him, it could be anything. And she always expected the worst in the back of her mind... |

Maybe all I've got is this beat-up leather bag
And everything I own don't fill up half But don't you worry 'bout the way I pack All I care about is getting back real soon A good-bye kiss is all I need from you [Chorus] 'Cause I'm carrying your love with me West Virginia down to Tennessee I'll be moving with the good Lord's speed Carrying your love with me It's my strength, for holding on Every minute that I have to be gone I'll have everything I'll ever need Carrying your love with me On a lonely highway, stuck out in the rain Darling all I have to do is speak your name The clouds rollback and the waters part The sun starts shining in my heart for you You're right there in everything I do [Chorus: x2] |

We made it final today
I gave you all I had You made your getaway All the love we once made Turned to memories today I left the courtroom and went straight to the church I hit my knees and told God how much I hurt Nothing left of my heart It's gonna be so hard to make a new start Cause today my world slipped away We buried the plans that we made And tonight I'm alone and afraid Cause today my world slipped away All my friends say I'll make it alright I'll recover and start a new life But that'll be so hard to do Cause livin ain't worth livin without you Cause today my world slipped away We buried the plans that we made And tonight I'm alone and afraid Cause today my world slipped away Cause today my world slipped away |

As far as all my friends can tell
I took her leavin' well - that's kinda right, 'Cause when I'm out with them, I don't let her memory rule the night. For the most part I'm okay, But I still miss her in a round about way. Around about the time that midnight rolls around. That's around about the time my tears start falling down. 'Cause she's not around, I come unwound and my heart breaks. Yeah, I still miss her in a round about way. I no longer sit alone for hours by the phone, Wishin' she would call. And just the other day I took her smilin' face down off my wall. I've come a long long way, But I still miss her in a round about way. Around about the time that midnight rolls around. That's around about the time my tears start falling down. 'Cause she's not around, I come unwound and my heart breaks. Yeah, I still miss her in a round about way. Yeah, I still miss her in a round about way. |

I don't want to be the kind to hesitate,
Be too shy, wait too late I don't care what they say other lovers do, I just want to dance with you. I gotta feeling that you have a heart like mine, So let it show, let it shine. If we have a chance to make one heart of two, I just want to dance with you. I want to dance with you, twirl you all around the floor That's what they intended dancin' for, I just want to dance with you. I want to dance with you, hold you in my arms once more, That's what they invented dancin' for, I just want to dance with you. I caught you lookin' at me when I looked at you, Yes I did, ain't that true? You won't get embarrassed by the things I do, I just want to dance with you. Oh the boys are playin' softly and the girls are too, So am I and so are you. If this was a movie, we'd be right on cue, I just want to dance with you. I want to dance with you, twirl you all around the floor That's what they intended dancin' for, I just want to dance with you. I want to dance with you, hold you in my arms once more, That's what they invented dancin' for, I just want to dance with you. I just want to dance with you, I just want to dance with you, I just want to dance with you. |

True in this modern world, when two lovers get together
chances of em ever makin it to forever, couldn't be better than two in a million hearts. Girl this ain't just another run of the mill emotion, What I'm feelin' the definition of devotion, my love for you is true True like the sun comin' up each mornin, Bright as the light in a baby's smile, Sure as the mountain river winding, Right as the rain fallin' from the sky, Girl my love for you, is true True not another minute on this earth can be borrowed, so there's no way to know when i'll live my last tomorrow but everyday i get i'll share with you this feelin just keeps getting stronger as the time goes by it's written on my face you can see it in my eyes My love for you is true True like the sun comin' up each mornin, Bright as the light in a baby's smile, Sure as the mountain river winding, Right as the rain fallin' from the sky, Girl my love for you, is true True like the sun comin' up each mornin, Bright as the light in a baby's smile, Sure as the mountain river winding, Right as the rain fallin' from the sky, Girl my love for you, is true |

We really shouldn't be doing this and we both know why.
Just being close enough to think like this, enough to make you need to lie. This kinda talk will lead us to somewhere, We're gettin' way too close to going there The farther off the better to resist, we really shouldn't be doing this. Only an isolated incident, but the acquaintance left me stunned. The first attraction was the hardest hit I thought I'd ever overcome. This kinda situation has to pass, this chance encounter has to be the last. To take it further we would be remiss, we really shouldn't be doing this. We'd each be hurting somebody else if we don't say our good-byes real fast. Won't even think about a farewell kiss, we really shouldn't be doing this. Well... We really shouldn't be doing this and we both know why. Just being close enough to think like this, enough to make you have to lie. This kinda talk will lead us to somewhere, We're gettin' way too close to going there The farther off the better to resist, we really shouldn't be doing this.

Thought everything was going all right, but I was running out of time 'Cause you have one foot out the door, I swear I didn't see But if you'r really going away, heres some final words from me. Baby write this down, take a little note To remind you in case you didn't know Tell yourself I love you and I don't want you to go Write this down! Take my words and read them everyday Keep them close by, don't you let them fade away So you'll remember what I forgot to say Write this down! I'll sign it at the bottom of the page, I'll swear under oath Every single word is true, and I think you need to know So use it as a book mark, stick it on your frigerator door Hang it in a picture frame up above the mantle where you can see it for sure Baby write this down, take a little note To remind you in case you didn't know Tell yourself I love you and I don't want you to go Write this down! Take my words and read them everyday Keep them close by, don't you let them fade away So you'll remember what I forgot to say Write this down! You can find the chisel, I can find the stone Folks'll be a-readin these words, long after we're gone. Baby write this down, take a little note To remind you in case you didn't know Tell yourself I love you and I don't want you to go Write this down! Take my words and read them everyday Keep them close by, don't you let them fade away So you'll remember what I forgot to say Write this down!

We loaded up my old station wagon
With a tent, a Coleman, and sleeping bags Some fishing poles, a cooler of cokes Three days before we had to be back When you're seven you're in seventh heaven When you're going camping in the wild outdoors As we turned up on that old dirt road He looked at me and swore Dad, this could be the best day of my life I've been dreaming day and night about the fun we've had Just me and you doing what I've always wanted to I'm the luckiest boy alive This is the best day of my life His fifteenth birthday rolled around Classic cars were his thing When I pulled in the drive with that old 'vette I thought that boy would go in sane When you're in your teens Your dreams revolve around four spinning wheels You worked nights on end 'Till it was new again And as he sat behind the wheel He said Dad This could be the best day of my life I've been dreaming day and night About the fun we've had Just me and you Doing what I've always wanted to I'm the luckiest boy alive This is the best day of my life Standing in a little room Back of the church with our tuxes on Looking at him I say I can't believe son that you're grown He said Dad This could be the best day of my life I've been dreaming day and night Of being like you Now its me and her Watching you and mom I've learned I'm the luckiest man alive This is the best day of my life I'm the luckiest man alive This is the best day of my life |

You caught him cheatin', I don't blame you for walkin' away. I know where you're comin' from, it sounds like where I've been Oh, there I go interrupting your story once again Go on, go on, you were sayin' how a fool can only fool you so long It's true, it's so true when they do you like that What else you can do but go on. Our conversation won't change nothin', but it's sure nice to talk With somebody who's been cut out of the same ol' cloth You know how you said happiness can't be found lookin' back If you don't mind, maybe we can talk a little more about that. Go on, go on, you were sayin' this is better than sittin' at home It's true, it's so true when they do you like that What else can you do but go on... Even when you see no reason to Don't wait to live life 'cause it won't wait for you Go on, please go on, you were sayin' what don't kill us only makes us strong It's true, that's so true when they do you like that What else can you do but go on. Just go on. Life goes on... and on. |

If there's a plane or a bus leaving Dallas
I hope you're on it If there's a train moving fast down the tracks I hope you caught it Cause I swear out there ain't where you ought to be So, catch a ride, catch a cab Don't you know I miss you bad But don't you walk to me Baby run Cut a path across the blue skies Straight in a straight line you can't get here fast enough Find a truck and fire it up lean on the gas and off the clutch Leave Dallas in the dust I need you in a rush So baby run If you ain't got a suitcase get a box or an old brown paper sack Pack it light or pack it heavy Take a truck, take a chevy Baby just come back There's a shortcut to the highway out of town Why don't you take it Don't let that speed limit slow ya down Go on and break it Baby run Cut a path across the blue skies Straight in a straight line You can't get here fast enough Find a truck and fire it up lean on the gas and off the clutch Leave Dallas in the dust I need you in a rush So baby run...Baby run...Oh baby run... |

Had a nice little life
A little boat, a little beach A little routine I liked A blue ocean view Free to go with the flow Anywhere that I wanted to But the moment you set foot on my shore That's when I knew. There's a difference in Living and living well You can't have it all All by yourself Something's always missing 'Til you share it with someone else There's a difference in living and living well. 'Til you sailed with me Thought that I had it good As good as it could be From the back of my deck Caught a fish, caught a breeze And a thousand red sunsets But sitting here with you girl I just saw The best one yet. There's a difference in Living and living well You can't have it all All by yourself Something's always missing 'Til you share it with someone else There's a difference in living and living well. My days are brighter My sky a deeper blue My nights are sweeter When I'm with you. There's a difference in Living and living well You can't have it all All by yourself Something's always missing 'Til you share it with someone else There's a difference in livin'. I thought I was living. There's a difference in living and living well. Livin' well. I'm livin' well... |
