Could've been me
--------------------------
I hear you just got married Had a month long honeymoon And you were all smiles at the wedding And you cried when you kissed the groom I got no invitation I guess the mailman didn't bring it to me But I see the whole thing in slow motion Every night as I try to sleep My buddy John said you looked real pretty And you acted like you were in love He said the preacher asked for objections And he tought about standing up I told John he must've been crazy 'Cause you were just about to say I do He just gave me a wink and said all he could think Is it could've been me with you It could have been me standing there with you It could have been me and my dreams coming true But those dreams move on if you wait too long It took me till now to see it could have been me I don't guess I ever told you That I went out and bought you a ring I even carried it around in my pocket Waiting to say the right thing I pulled it out the other day But the diamond had lost it's shine Well I know how it feels 'cause my eyes grow dim When I think you could've been mine It could have been me standing there with you It could have been me and my dreams coming true But those dreams move on if you wait too long It took me till now to see it could have been me Oh I called her just in time to be too late You know those dreams move on if you wait too long It took me till now to see (it could've been me) It could have been me standing there with you It could have been me and my dreams coming true But those dreams move on if you wait too long It took me till now to see it could have been me It could have been me...
Achy Breaky Heart
----------------------------
You can tell the world you never was my girl You can burn my clothes when I'm gone Or you can tell your friends just what a fool I've been And laugh and joke about me on the phone You can tell my arms to go back onto the phone You can tell my feet to hit the floor Or you can tell my lilps to tell my fingertips They won't be reaching out for you no more But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart I just don't think it'd understand And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart He might blow up and kill this man Ooo You can tell your ma I moved to Arkansas Or you can tell your dog to bite my leg Or tell your brother Cliff who's fist can tell my lips He never really liked me anyway Oh tell your Aunt Louise, tell anything you please Myself already knows that I'm okay Oh you can tell my eyes to watch out for my mind It might be walking out on me today But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart I just don't think it'd understand And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart He might blow up and kill this man Ooo But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart I just don't think it'd understand And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart He might blow up and kill this man Ooo Don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart He might blow up and kill this man Ooo Don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart He might blow up and kill this man Ooo
She's not cryin' anymore
-----------------------------------
She used to cry when I'd come home late She couldn't buy the lies I told All she wanted was to be needed Someone that she could call her own The love I know I took for granted Until she walked out of my door Too little too late to say I'm sorry 'Cause she's not cryin' anymore She's not cryin' anymore She ain't lonely any longer There's a smile upon her face A new love takes my place She's not cryin' anymore I hear she's really doin' well now She's picked herself up off the ground I wasn't there when I was needed But I was there to let her down Sometimes you know I feel so foolish If I knew then what I know now Another tear would never fall 'Cause I'd give our love my all If we could work things out somehow She's not cryin' anymore She ain't lonely any longer There's a smile upon her face A new love takes my place She's not cryin' anymore She's not cryin' anymore She ain't lonely any longer There's a smile upon her face A new love takes my place She's not cryin' anymore There's a smile upon her face A new love takes my place She's not cryin' any more
Where'm I gonna live
---------------------------------
Where'm I gonna live when I get home My ol' lady's thrown out everything I own She meant what she said when she wished I was dead So where'm I gonna live when I get home I knew our road was gettin' kinda rocky She said I was gettin' way too cocky She waited till I was gone She packed from dusk 'til dawn So where'm I gonna live when I get home Where'm I gonna live when I get home My ol' lady's thrown out everything I own She meant what she said when she wished I was dead So where'm I gonna live when I get home She decided she would keep my cat My transportation I wouldn't be needin' that She kept my TV The bills she gave to me So where'm I gonna live when I get home Where'm I gonna live when I get home My ol' lady's thrown out everything I own She meant what she said when she wished I was dead So where'm I gonna live when I get home Where'm I gonna live when I get home Where'm I gonna live, where'm I gonna live Where'm I gonna live when I get home
Someday,somewhere, somehow
---------------------------------------------
I looked for you in the morning with the sunrise And I searched for you all the day through And at night as I lay my head down on my pillow I closed my eyes and dreamed only of you
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 don't cross my mind And with every beat of my heart I'm by your side But the truth of the matter is it's make believe And my love once again has been denied
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
Some gave all
----------------------
I knew a man called him Sandy Kane Few folks even knew his name But a hero 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 cries 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 through out 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
In the heart of a woman
-----------------------------------
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
Talk some
-----------------
Well, hold on baby, something's happenin' here. I read your body language perfectly clear. But, something's fishy baby, It's like the cat got your tongue. Well you done proved you ain't shy. Honey look me in the eye, Talk some. I know you're there baby, I hear you breathin'. Let's use some caution baby 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. 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 from 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 ...
Somebody New
-----------------------
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...
Ain't your dog no more
----------------------------------
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 ...
Words by heart
------------------------
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
It won't be the last
----------------------------
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 unplugged 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 unplugged 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 but it won't be the last
Storm in the heartland
--------------------------------
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 sounds of thunder empty 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 sounds of thunder empty 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
Deja Blue
----------------
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 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 Same ol' fool Nothin' new Deja blue
Trail of Tears
-----------------------
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
Under the hood
------------------------
Well my first love was a little Corvette All done up in lipstick red I thought it'd last forever 'til the motor blew Well I guess I didn't look close enough It's a little bit just like falling in love Looks don't mean a thing, if the heart ain't true It might be a cool ride, smooth lines, Something been custom made out in Hollywood But when you get done gazing at he outside You better start checking out the inside If you want a love built to last, you better look real good And see what's under the hood Sporty little model standing by the door So I took her for a spin on the old dance floor Headlights shining bright but nobody home Now I need something that's more my speed Got a whole lotta time to find what I need So I put her in park and headed on off for home It might be a cool ride, smooth lines, Something been custom made out in Hollywood But when you get done gazing at he outside You better start checking out the inside If you want a love built to last, you better look real good And see what's under the hood It might be a cool ride, smooth lines, Something been custom made out in Hollywood But when you get done gazing at he outside You better start checking out the inside If you want a love built to last, you better look real good And see what's under the hood You better look real good, and see what's under the hood
Give my heart to you
-------------------------------
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 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
Busy Man
---------------
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 say 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
Shot full of love
-----------------------
Once I had a heart cold as ice Love to me was only for fun I'd make a mark for each broken heart Like notches on the butt of a gun Once I had a trick up my sleeve And a reputation all over town I was heartless and cold wherever I'd go And I shot down every young girl I found Yes I used to be a moonlight bandit I used to be a heartbreak kid Then I met you and the next thing I know there I was Oh shot full of love Well who'd have thought that someone like you Could take a desperado like me But oh here I am as meek as a lamb With my bleeding heart there at your feet Yes I used to be a moonlight bandit I used to be a heartbreak kid Then I met you and the next thing I know there I was Oh shot full of love Yes I used to be a moonlight bandit I used to be a heartbreak kid Then I met you and the next thing I know there I was Oh shot full of love
