Just Passin Through

***********************************
Well
I sat on my front porch steps
Countin the pieces of my broken heart
The heart you broke as you left
As you walked
away
Well I'm not sure how much more of this I can take
And I'm not sure how many more times my heart can break
So
I'm hoppin in beat up Chevy
And I'm drivin as far south as my tank'll let me
I ain't stoppin for anything
ch-
That
sign says Boulder, Colorado
And I'm wonderin what to do
I never thought I'd get this far
And I know its all because
of you
I started runnin from your memory
Now I'm just enjoyin the view
Emmylou's walkin from Boulder
But I'm just
passin through
Now I'm headin west
As the cowboy's would say
Through these mountains
And farther on again
Been
on the road so long
I've forgotten why I'm gone
But as I'm drivin by Death Valley
I'm feelin that old ache again
in my chest
So I revv it up,
Shift the gears
And put on the gas
ch-
That sign says Baskersfield, California
And
I'm wonderin what to do
I never thought I'd get this far
And I know its all because of you
I started runnin from
your memory
Now I'm just enjoyin the view
Jason's doin time in Bakersfield
But I'm just passin through
Albuquerque,
Amarillo, Abilene
All these places are startin to look the same
But its startin to pay off
I can feel my heart healin
A
little more each day
Well I'm not sure how much longer it'll take
And I'm not sure how much longer I can wait
But
as I'm fillin up somewhere on the interstate
I know I gotta keep these wheels rollin
If I wanna stay sane
ch-
That
sign says Baton Rouge, Louisiana
And I'm wonderin what to do
I never thought I'd get this far
And I know its all
because of you
I started runnin from your memory
Now I'm just enjoyin the view
Garth's callin Baton Rouge
But
I'm just passin through
Bridge-
Well, I thought it was over.
I let my map fly away.
But then I realized
I
just gotta let my heart lead the way
ch-
That sign says Birmingham, Alabama
And I'm wonderin what to do
I
never thought I'd get this far
And I know its all because of you
I started runnin from your memory
Now I'm just enjoyin
the view
Emmylou survived in Birmingham
And I know I will too

************************************
Oh
its a typical story
Full of sadness
And despair
One that leaves you cryin
And thinking just how
it isn't fair
Could
she have saved him?
The Lord will only know
That Southern gentleman
That simple country boy
ch-
Oh cry
for her
As she cries for him
That Grievous Angel
That she loved
Who fell at Joshua Tree
Oh their voices
blended sweetly
It was heart-wrenching to hear
And it kills everytime
Always seems to draw a tear
She'd been singing
when she'd accepted
That she was in love with him
But took her time in saying it
She had all the time she needed
But
time don't last forever
How could she have known
It'd be the last time
That she'd look into his eyes
repeat
ch
Oh he'd gone to save himself
She guesses he'd just had enough
In room number eight
Of the Joshua Tree Inn
He'll
never really leave
There was a certain truth
In those sad songs that he sang
and if she'd listened close enough
She
would have known she was going to lose him
She would have told him sooner
But she never got the chance
repeat
ch x2
Oh, but she never got the chance...

*********************************
Well cheating ain’t a crime,
But Baby, it’s a sin
What
you did can’t have no excuses
Can’t lie bout where you’ve been
Wedding vows were shot to hell
So
I’m takin the house, the cat, the car
And leavin you with your precious Michelle
It deserves no second thought
So
I’m drinkin it away with this second shot
Ch-
Well I’m tired of wandering
From dusk till dawn
And
I’m tired of driving
Till the memory’s gone
So I’m doin all I can
I’m makin my last stand
Well
that man on the barstool beside me
Says, “Baby, can I buy you a drink?”
And Joe behind the bar is looking
a little worried
He ain’t never seen me like this
And I smile at the man on the barstool beside me
And I laugh
when Joe whispers,
“Jenny girl, I think you’ve had enough”
Cause really, baby
When is enough really
enough?
Ch-
Well I’m tired of wandering
From dusk till dawn
And I’m tired of driving
Till the
memory’s gone
So I’m doin all I can
I’m makin my last stand
Well that man that came home with
me
Ain’t the same one on my mind
He took off the morning after
Just like Joe said he would
And it didn’t
give me any satisfaction
Just like Patty said it wouldn’t
And it ain’t my fault
That I just broke right
down and cried
Bridge-
Well you broke me
(Broke me)
Tore me to the ground
Stole my trust, my time, my love
Rumours
fly in this small town
And right and wrong come tumbling down…
Ch-
Well I’m tired of wandering
From
dusk till dawn
And I’m done driving
Till the memory’s gone
Cause it’ll never be gone
Just put
aside, put away
And I might never understand
But I’m doin all I can…
I’m makin my last stand

Last Night

*****************
You
came over
Dimmed the lights
Said it was to set the mood
Well I couldn't help but smile
As you put on my song
Everything
Should
have felt so right
But it all felt so wrong
And I almost cried
Cause all the hurt came back
Till you took me by
the hand
Your arm around my waist,
Holding me near
Dancin to a song
neither of us could hear
I found I
could trust you
I found I could forgive you
I found I could love you still
ch-
You knew all the right buttons
to press
To turn me on
To make it right
You knew just how to hold me
Close to you, baby
Come on and hold me
tight
I found I could forget it all
You made me forget it all
Last night
Then I remembered why it hurt
"Last
weekend," I said.
"Who was she?
Don't say you didnt mean it
Cause it'd only make it worse"
Well you said you just
couldnt help it
It was me you really loved
and you said you were
oh so sorry
You said everything
I wanted
to hear
I found I could trust you
I found I could forgive you
I found I could love you still
repeat ch
You
pulled me closer
And then, even slower
Our lips met
You knew I'd melt
Cause I always do
And it laster longer
than
it normally would
And I could tell
just how much you wanted me back
I found I could trust you
I found I could
forgive you
I found I could love you still
repeat ch

ch-
How many times
Are you gonna let yourself be
Let down again?
When you
already know how its gonna end?
You're always hopin,
Always Prayin
It'll be different this time
That you'll find
someone new
That you won't have to cry
Cause little by little
You're breakin through
You know some day
it's gonna end
And you're gonna be free
You'll find that daylight
You've been searchin for
That pot of gold
And
the end of the rainbow
But you just gotta wait your turn
God knows what He's doin
Where you're concerned
And yet,
I still gotta ask
I got no choice but to ask
ch-
How many times
Are
you gonna let yourself be
Let down again?
When you already know how its gonna end?
You're always hopin,
Always
Prayin
It'll be different this time
That you'll find someone new
That you won't have to cry
Cause little by little
You're
breakin through
Little by little,
Step by step
Tear by tear
And you'll get there yet.
If you withstand
the tears
If you put up with his lies
It won't make you naive
As long as you believe
You'll have your turn
Your
time will come
You'll feel the relief
As you think back on how you left
How you asked for the last time
ch-
How many times
Are you gonna let yourself be
Let down again?
When you already know
how its gonna end?
You're always hopin,
Always Prayin
It'll be different this time
That you'll find someone new
That
you won't have to cry
Cause little by little
You're breakin through

Well you said you loved me,
But we we're just good friends.
You hugged me and tried to comfort me
Now do all that again,
I need you to heal my pain,
Cause i've been cryin
And tryin
To forget it all rite now
I need to be with you,
And you to be with me
Ch.
Just one dance,
I'll be satisfied
Just one chance,
To look into your eyes.
Just tell me
This wont be the last time,
That you'll always be with me
You've changed my life so much
I just need you to know
How much you mean to me
How much do i mean to you?
Then something got between us
Now everything feels strange
I want it to be like before
You know i dont like change,
Ch. again.

v1-It was just a race
never ending
thats what it just to be
to him
He'd see it in my face
know what i was thinking
well i've turned it all around
again
I've built up a wall
Now, time to test his luck
Come a little closer
Think of it as a hockey game
Now its time to pass the puck
ch-Went to close to the flame
He got burnt
He stretched his luck to far
By now he should've learnt
I'll never let him be,
My number one
Cause every time he stops
I'll run.
v2-He thinks he's got
me wrapped around his finger
That I'll be there for his
every whim
Then i surprise him
I turn it around
This game of cat and mouse
It's never going, to end
It's his turn
Come try my patience
The fireworks
Are about to begin

Livin' In a Country Song

Date: Jan 23 til Feb 2, 2005
******************
She
was her Daddy's girl
A Northern Belle
He was a Ford guy
Liked raisin' Hell
He daddy didn't like him too much
But she was sure
She was in love
She snuck out
her window
On a Saturday night
Hopped in his truck,
Headlights flashin bright
As she shut the door
He looked
over at her
And said,
ch-
Girl, don't it feel like we're
Livin in a country song
It's almost
like we're
Outlaws on the run
Livin dangerously; havin' fun
Girl, we're livin in a country song
He
was her mama's worst nightmare
Ma always said to be nice to him,
But don't let it be anything more
But her daughter
don't listen anymore
Checkin the rearview mirror,
Away they go...
(short instrumental break)
They drove
off,
Roarin in the night
Headed down them
Old country roads
Nothin packed but
A Martin guitar
And a Miller
cowboy hat
Turnin on the radio
And all that they hear is
ch-
Don't it feel like you're
Livin
in a country song
Livin' like outlaws
On the run
Livin' dangerously; havin' fun
Don't it feel like you're
Livin
in a country song
Bridge-
Lyin by a river
Somewhere outside Nashville
She's got her head on his lap
As
he strums his guitar
Lookin up at him, she says,
ch-
Hunny, don't it feel like we're
Livin
in a country song
Sometimes feelin like we're
Outlaws on the run
Livin dangerously; havin' fun
Boy, we're livin'
in a country song?
She snuck out her window,
On saturday night...
