"Terri Clark"
Don't tell me the reason that you're calling Is to see if I'm all right since you've been gone 'Cause I know you and I know why we're talking You're wanting me to say I'm barely hanging on Well, maybe that was true for a night or two But now, I got better things to do Chrous: I could wash my car in the rain Change my new guitar strings Mow the yard just the same as I did yesterday I don't need to waste my time crying over you I got better things to do Maybe when I don't have so much going Or quite so many irons in the fire I'll take the time to miss you like you're hoping But now, I can't put forth the effort it requires Well, I'd love to talk to you, but then, I'd miss Donahue That's right, I got better things to do (Repeat Chorus) Check the air in my tires Straighten my stereo wires Count the stars in the sky or just get on with my life I don't need to waste my time crying over you I got better things to do I got better things to do
You were standin' at my front door When I came home tonight And I could tell by the look you gave me You were needin' my advice You say you want more out of life than he can give you As a tear rolls down your face But girl, I've seen the way he looks at you And I know someone who'd gladly take your place Chorus: If I were you I'd run back home tonight Tell hime everything's all right Yeah, I know what I'd do If I were you I'd never let him go I'd have someone to hold My whole life through If I were you You shouldn't think you're missin' out on something Because you wear a wedding band 'Cause I can't seem to find somebody Who wants more than just a one night stand You know this single life I'm livin' Ain't all it's cracked up to be So you've come to the wrong place If what you want is sympathy (Repeat Chorus) (Repeat Chorus Again) If I were you
You say your bags are packed You won't be coming back You'll hit I-35 and be in cowtown by tonight In Austin, here with me Ain't where you want to be But somewhere down the line, will the price be way too high Is Fort Worth worth it For what it costs in Austin Is the love you think you'll find Worth the love you're gonna lose Can that woman west of Dallas Make you forget about us Is Forth Worth worth it to you She's offered you the moon But darling, someday soon The sun is gonna rise and you'll see things in a different light The love you're looking for Is right inside my door And if you leave you might ask yourself some lonely night Is Fort Worth worth it For what it costs in Austin Is the love you think you'll find Worth the love you're gonna lose Can that woman west of Dallas Make you forget about us Is Forth Worth worth it to you Is Fort Worth really worth it to you
First, it's baseball, arcades in the mall Skipping out of study hall to hang with the guys Then, it's fast cars, rock and roll guitars Lighting up behind the barn and not knowing why But his life is about to change He's never gonna be the same And he'll be living uin a different world When boy meets girl One smile, one look - he's nearly on the hook Got it bad and feeling good all over inside He ain't got a clue what he's going through But he's going to - just give him time 'Cause his life is about to change He's never gonna be the same He'll be living in a diffferent world When boy meets girl Bridge: He never polished his boots before Never thought about what he wore Never knew he could feel like that Now there ain't no way he can ever go back Oh yeah, his life is about to change He ain't never gonna be the same And he'll be living in a different world When boy meets girl His life is about to change He ain't never gonna be the same He'll be living in a different world When boy meets girl
I'll always remember the first time I saw him Up in the saddle alone Riding that pony and racin' the wind Wherever it would blow Each night I'd pray For one more day But his soul was wild and free It's like tyin' a heart To a tumbleweed So I'll make a wish beneath the desert moon His love will blow my way one day soon Yes I know I should let him go But I can't deny the need It's like tyin' a heart to a tumbleweed I could fashion some fences that might hold him in But only for a little while 'Cause that restless spirit keeps following him And I know he's bound to say goodbye I dream he'll say that he wants to stay Then he drifts away from me It's like tyin' a heart to a tumbleweed So I'll make a wish beneath the desert moon His love will blow my way one day soon Yes I know I should let him go But I can't deny the need It's like tyin' a heart to a tumbleweed Tyin' a heart to a tumbleweed Tyin' a heart to a tumbleweed
Back when we had nothing That was when we had it all We were so in love, it almost hurt Now, you're staring at the TV While I'm staring at the wall And I'm hurting now-for the way we were I liked it better when we had it bad When a burning love was all we had And every time we were apart There was an aching in our hearts Now that ain't the way things are And it's so sad I liked it better when we had it bad I don't know how it happens Why the passion has to fade Remember when we said it never would Won't you hold me like you used to When you took my breath away 'Cause it ain't too late for us to feel that good I liked it better when we had it bad When a burning love was all we had And every time we were apart There was an aching in our hearts Now that ain't the way things are And it's so sad I liked it better when we had it bad I liked it better when we had it bad When a burning love was all we had And every time we were apart There was an aching in our hearts Now that ain't the way things are And it's so sad I liked it better when we had it bad I liked it better when we had it bad
In the pale neon light of a Saturday night You'll see him walk up to the bar He'll size up the ladies, the 'no's" and the "maybe's" Till he finds one who'll let down her guard Then the band on his hand gets slipped off again And his disarming charm starts to work And with a drink and a lie, in the blink of an eye Something amazing occurs He's suddenly single Instantly free And for three or four hours He's the man of her dreams He acts like there's no one waiting at home He'll be suddenly single Till he's suddenly gone He sneaks through the door at a quarter to four But tonight there's no one to wake The note that she wrote him says, "I've given up hoping I’d be able to change you someday." He sits on the bed, shaking head A man in complete disbelief He knows what he's lost Oh, but he never thought Someday, he'd really be Suddenly single Instantly free And for the rest of his life She'll haunt his dreams And now there'll be no one waiting at home He's suddenly single 'Cause she's suddenly gone He's suddenly single 'Cause she's suddenly gone
Ten days too late you show up With a sheepish grin and a bouquet in your hand You make mistakes by the dozen Don't think you can make it up the same way again Flowers after the fact Ain't gonna get me back You gotta do something sooner and better than that When you bring red roses There's an ulterior motive Don't give me flowers after the fact No part of your heart's ever in it, You're just trying to get your foot back in the door I might feel like you meant it If those long stems had come in the name of love before Flowers after the fact Ain't gonna get me back You gotta do something sooner and better than that When you bring red roses There's an ulterior motive Don't give me flowers after the fact When you bring me red roses There's an ulterior motive Don't need no flowers after the fact Now don't give me flowers after the fact
The rumor going'round Is that I haven't shed a tear But don't they know you can't believe Everything you hear 'Cause ever since you left I've been a master of disguise I may be smiling on the outside But don't look into my eyes, 'cause... The inside story Is as clear as black and white I still dream about you When I turn out the lights The news out on the street Says you didn't break my heart But the inside story Is tearing me apart I thought maybe there was something wrong That we'd work out in time And looking back I can see I didn't read between the lines And now my pride helps me hide the pain So it's not written on my face When we pass I'll pretend your memory Was easy to erase, but... The inside story Is as clear as black and white I still dream about you When I turn out the lights The news out on the street Says you didn't break my heart But the inside story Is tearing me apart Oh, the inside story Is tearing me apart
You're late, it's well past two And there's a trace of strange perfume I can see you had a good time 'Cause honey I ain't blind And I can read you like a book You've got a guilty look And there's something I'm wondering about Was there a girl on your boys' night out You ain't the kind to cheat But maybe you would if she threw herself at your feet Did you look or did you touch Tell me now, you owe me that much I think you know what I'm talking about Was there a girl on your boys' night out A friend called a while ago Said there was something I should know She saw you shooting pool With someone who was making eyes at you I never have accused But, baby I'm a bit confused I need to know without a doubt Was there a girl on your boys' night out You ain't the kind to cheat But maybe you would if she threw herself at your feet Did you look or did you touch Tell me now, you owe me that much I think you know what I'm talking about Was there a girl on your boys' night out I think you know what I'm talking about Was there a girl on your boys' night out I never have accused But, baby I'm a bit confused I need to know without a doubt Was there a girl on your boys' night out You ain't the kind to cheat But maybe you would if she threw herself at your feet Did you look or did you touch Tell me now, you owe me that much I think you know what I'm talking about Was there a girl on your boys' night out I think you know what I'm talking about Was there a girl on your boys' night out
I overheard a conversation Down at the diner tonight A boy told a girl she was his whole world And He'd love her till the end of time It reminded me of you, and the thought went through my head "That sounds like something you should've said." I took myself out to a movie Saw a man on the silver screen Tell the woman he loved for just one touch He would do anything It reminded me of you, and the thought went through my head "That sounds like something you should've said." You never let me know the way you felt And I don't understand why The longest talk we ever had Was when I said goodbye I heard a song playing on the jukebox A singer pouring out his soul And every word he sang was filled with pain That he'd ever let his lady go It reminded me of you, and the thought went through my head "That sounds like something you should've said." "That sounds like something you should've said."
I've been looking at you looking me Bet you're thinking that want you get Is what you see But underneath this cool exterior A raging river flows So before you get any nearer I better let you know Chorus: I'm an emotional girl I can't help myself Sometimes I laugh Sometimes I cry Sometimes I do both and I don't know why I got a Passionate heart And that's just the way things are You and me could give it a whirl But I'm warning you, boy I'm an emotional girl I like music that's loud and lights down low I like driving my car too fast And dancing slow Some folks may say I’m too extreme ‘Cause I can’t stop once I start But I never could do anything With half my heart (Repeat Chorus) (Instrumental Break) (Repeat Chorus) You and me could give it a whirl But I’m warning you, boy I'm an emotional girl
Well, I lay my head on the railroad track Waitin' on the "double e" But the train don't run through here no more Poor, poor pitiful me! Chorus Poor, poor pitiful me! Poor, poor pitiful me! Oh, these boys won't let me be Lord have mercy on me! Woe, woe is me! Well, I met a man out in Hollywood And I ain't namin' names But he really worked me over good Just like Jesse James Yes, he really worked me over good He was a credit to his gender He put me through some changes Lord, sorta like a waring blender (Repeat Chorus) Well, I met a boy in the Vieux-Carres Down in Yokahoma He picked me up and he threw me down Sayin', "please don't hurt me, mama" (Repeat Chorus) Poor, poor pitiful me! Poor, poor pitiful me
You could've walked along a back road Or on a lonely stretch of beach You could have sat there on a park bench A Sunday paper at your feet If you'd been waiting for a taxi Or at a bus stop in the rain I would've found you, I would've found you Just the same You know you could've been a gambler Whose luck was running low Or just another drifter Without a single place to go You could have been a broken dreamer Without a penny to your name I would've loved you, I would have loved you Just the same No it really didn't matter Who you'd been or what you’d done Where we met or when it happened You'd still be the one There's no way to know the future But one thing will never change I'm gonna love you, I'm gonna love you Just the same I’m gonna love you, I'm gonna love you Just the same
Somebody's restless She feels second best And the girl across town Is thinking about a permanent change And the lady living next door Won't take it anymore There's a whole lot of love Gone wrong going 'round these days Must be something in the water Something in the air 'Cause every girl I talk to Is going through the same thing I'm going through here Must be something in the teardrops They've been falling too long Must be something in the water Making me wanna move on I understand the heartache It leaves such a bitter taste Makes you go crazy Thirsty for something else The way that it used to be Now ain't enough for me 'Cause the love I ain't getting Is like drinking from a dry well Must be something in the water Something in the air 'Cause every girl I talk to Is going through the same thing I'm going through here Must be something in the teardrops They've been falling too long Must be something in the water Making me wanna move on Must be something in the water Something in the air 'Cause every girl I talk to Is going through the same thing I'm going through here Must be something in the teardrops They've been falling too long Must be something in the water Making me wanna move on
Don't worry baby About that man at the bar that I just talked to It's been so long I can't recall his name Well he's just somebody Who could never make me feel the way that you do He's just an old neon flame (Well) he shines bright on a Friday night But he burns out about daylight And he's always hanging where the jukebox plays He ain't nothing to me Just a dance or two before you even knew me He's just an old neon flame Give me a quarter And I'll pick out a number that's a slow one And tonight we'll start a fire we can't contain His heart's a cold one And I think I've been around enough to know one He's just an old neon flame (Well) he shines bright on a Friday night But he burns out about daylight And he's always hanging where the jukebox plays He ain't nothing to me Just a dance or two before you even knew me He's just an old neon flame Oh, honey, he's just an old neon flame
Every time you ask her out she turns you down You've seen a tear roll down her cheek When she thinks no one's around You don't know what's going on But you know there's something wrong Well, it don't take much to figure this one out Any woman who's been hurt by a man understands It'll take some time for her to find a way to love again She may be crying but she's trying to do the best she can Just ask any woman who's been hurt by a man She lies in bed with questions on her mind Was she so wrong about him and is she gonna be all right The night can be so cold When a memory's all you hold Yeah, I know what shes going through tonight, 'cause... Any woman who's been hurt by a man understands It'll take some time for her to find a way to love again She may be crying but she's trying to do the best she can Just ask any woman who's been hurt by a man Her broken heart Will come around She just needs a chance to heal right now Any woman who's been hurt by a man understands It'll take some time for her to find a way to love again She may be crying but she's trying to do the best she can Just ask any woman who's been hurt by a man Just ask any woman who's been hurt by a man
A beer stain on a jukebox A tractor in a field Fireflies on a screen door A home cooked meal Rolling down a dirt road Listening to a George Strait song If it ain't pure and simple It ain't gonna turn me on It's gotta have a twang thang It's gotta bend a heart strang Like a scuffed up boot Or a boy with two first names I gotta feel a deep pang When I hear the songs they sang If it don't kick up a little dust It ain't got much of a twa-ang thang If I tried to describe it Well, I don't think I could It's like swimming in a cold creek 'Cause it just feels good No matter where you find it There's a down home quality It ain't sophisticated And that's just fine with me It's gotta have a twang thang It's gotta bend a heart strang Like a scuffed up boot Or a boy with two first names I gotta feel a deep pang When I hear the songs they sang If it don't kick up a little dust It ain't got much of a twa-ang thang It's gotta have a twang thang It's gotta bend a heart strang Like a scuffed up boot Or a boy with two first names I gotta feel a deep pang When I hear the songs they sang If it don't kick up a little dust It ain't got much of a twa-ang thang If it don't kick up a little dust It ain't got much of a twa-ang thang
Come on darlin' get down off that fence Don't even try and make it make sense It's got nothin' to do with your mind Take a leap of faith this time Tell me what you're feelin' deep in your heart Love ain't followed by a question mark It should be simple, should be easy We're not talkin' brain surgery You do or you don't, you do or you don't You do or you don't love me You can make a list of pros and cons Check 'em all off baby one by one But all I really wanna know tonight Is are you always gonna want me in your life Tell me what you're feelin' deep in your heart Love ain't followed by a question mark It should be simple, should be easy We're not talkin' brain surgery You do or you don't, you do or you don't You do or you don't love me Tell me what you're feelin' deep in your heart Love ain't followed by a question mark It should be simple, should be easy We're not talkin' brain surgery You do or you don't, you do or you don't You do or you don't love me
We pass in the hallway I stop to kiss you on the cheek But you're in a hurry You've got a deadline you must meet You're working so much these days You don't have time to spend with me But I keep hoping we might get back To the way love used to be I am the keeper of the flame You only helped me build the fire And it's getting harder every day To make our love burn with desire 'Cause If I left it up to you Only ashes would remain When it needs shelter from the rain I am the keeper of the flame We live here together But I feel we're worlds apart When I tell you I love you You never listen with your heart I may look like I'm doing fine But I'm dying deep inside 'Cause I've done all that I can do To try and keep this love alive I am the keeper of the flame You only helped me build the fire And it's getting harder every day To make our love burn with desire 'Cause If I left it up to you Only ashes would remain When it needs shelter from the rain I am the keeper of the flame Oh, when it needs shelter from the rain I am the keeper of the flame
For two weeks I ain't heard the phone ring Just a warning bell My friends tell me they know things I should know as well I can't deny it I've been told A voice inside Says let you go But that's not what I wanted to hear Not what I wanted my heart to say to me That you'd be long gone Before too long And that's not what I wanted to see 'Cause nobody wants to believe they could be so wrong But one thing is clear It's what I needed to know But, oh-it's not what I wanted to hear Sometimes my intuition Can get carried away But right now I'd better listen To what it has to say 'Cause when I tried to Believe you're mine I just got silence Every time And that's not what I wanted to hear Not what I wanted my heart to say to me That you'd be long gone Before too long And that's not what I wanted to see 'Cause nobody wants to believe they could be so wrong But one thing is clear It's what I needed to know But, oh-it's not what I wanted to hear But that's not what I wanted to hear Not what I wanted my heart to say to me That you'd be long gone Before too long And that's not what I wanted to see 'Cause nobody wants to believe they could be so wrong But one thing is clear It's what I needed to know But, oh-it's not what I wanted to hear Oh-it's not what I wanted to hear
Well you thundered into my life like a steed out of control Tried to rope my heart and tie me down with a little band of gold And I hate to break your spirit 'cause I know your mind is set Well you may be but I ain't ready yet Hold your horses, you're steppin' outta line Like a team of untamed stallions tramplin' on This heart of mine I'm no good beneath the reins, used to makin' my own choices Hold your horses I don't mean to act so skittish but when it comes to changin' names There's a mighty sense of freedom still a rushin' through my veins And your urgent need to settle down has got me runnin' scared 'Cause I ain't quite ready for the rocking chair Hold your horses, you're steppin' outta line Like a team of untamed stallions tramplin' on This heart of mine I'm no good beneath the reins, used to makin' my own choices Hold your horses Hold your horses, you're steppin' outta line Like a team of untamed stallions tramplin' on This heart of mine I'm no good beneath the reins, used to makin' my own choices Hold your horses Hold your horses
After all was said and done There was nothing left to do The hardest mile I ever walked Was the one I walked away form you So maybe I'm a little ragged around the edges And I've been keeping a little more to myself these days but I'm alright Shot down but I'm still standing I'm alright A little banged up from the fall But I'm alright Still shaky from the landing I'm alright, after all You know it's really not that bad No matter how bad it might feel Causse there ain't nothing time won't fix This ain't nothing that some time won't heal So maybe I've been walking a little wounded I move a little bit slower not but that's okay 'cause... I'm alright Shot down but I'm still standing I'm alright A little banged up from the fall But I'm alright Still shaky from the landing I'm alright, after all And every now and then I think about you Oh, every now and then I coss the line I'm alright Shot down but I'm still standing I'm alright A little banged up from the fall But I'm alright Still shaky from the landing I'm alright, after all I'm alright, after all
How can I believe That my heart would find someone like you You see me, the real me No in bewteens, I had nowhere to hide You took away the walls around me Made me feel safe to share my truth I see the heavens open, a heart that once was broken Is holding nothing back Now that I found you You hold me like a prayer, you touch me everywhere A lifetime just ain't enough to love you true Now that I found you Now that I found you I do believe we're meant to be Our chemistry will last forever And through the years We'll see some tears We'll conquer fears And together we will grow Look through your eyes They tell me I no longer have to be alone I see the heavens open, a heart that once was broken Is holding nothing back Now that I found you You hold me like a prayer, you touch me everywhere A lifetime just ain't enough to love you true Now that I found you Now that I found you You see me, the real me You belive you in me I see the heavens open, a heart that once was broken Is holding nothing back Now that I found you You hold me like a prayer, you touch me everywhere A lifetime just ain't enough to love you true Now that I found you Now that I found you
You call and wake me up, the way you always do Say you miss me and you're sorry, deja vu You push the button in the heart you know so well The wall starts coming down then I remind myself Everytime I think you might have changed Put aside the anger and the blame Make myself believe that there's a way to work it out Everytime you say let's try again Begging me to let you back in Everytime I do Everytime you lie Everytime I cry If only promises could just erase the past I could open up my heart enough to take you back But we've been down that road Time and time again I've learned the hard way how the story always ends Put aside the anger and the blame Make myself believe that there's a way to work it out Everytime you say let's try again Begging me to let you back in Everytime I do Everytime you lie Everytime I cry Put aside the anger and the blame Make myself believe that there's a way to work it out Everytime you say let's try again Begging me to let you back in Everytime I do Everytime you lie Everytime I cry Everytime I do Everytime you lie Everytime I cry
What's going on in your head You haven't heard a word I've said I think we need to talk Cause you turn your emotions off And that's something I don't understand 'Cause that's how I feel With my heart Every beat, every part Way down deep In my soul I live and breathe to let you know That's how I feel You think the silence buys you time To make things clearer in your mind But I can't live in the dark Not knowing who you are So tell me how you feel inside That's how I feel With my heart Every beat, every part Way down deep in my soul I live and breathe to let you know That's how I feel That's how I get to know you If you'll only let it go you'll Find it's not as scary as it seems That's how I feel With my heart Every beat, every part Way down deep in my soul I live and breathe to let you know That's how I feel
Should've known it was you Knocking on my door At a half past a heartache, quarter to four Were you starting to worry I was finally getting over you? I almost forgot you looked so fine If you told me some lies it'd be like old times Just getting to see you is almost worth the things you do You're easy on the eyes Hard on the heart You look so good but the way things look ain't the way the are Better say goodbye before we go too far Cause now I realize you're easy on the eyes Hard on the heart I've got to admit you've got a smile That really reeled me in for a while But it ain't funny, honey what you put me through So why don't you send me your photograph? It would hurt a lot less than taking you back Then I could still have my favorite part of you You're easy on the eyes Hard on the heart You look so good but the way things look ain't the way the are Better say goodbye before we go too far Cause now I realize you're easy on the eyes Hard on the heart You're easy on the eyes Hard on the heart You look so good but the way things look ain't the way the are Better say goodbye before we go too far Cause now I realize you're easy on the eyes Hard on the heart

(Tom Shapiro/Chris Waters/Terri Clark)
I think I'm gonna smile for a while Pull the curtain back and let some moonlight in Gossip on the phone with my old friends Like I used to do I'm gonna put your memory away Show this achin in my heart a thing or two Cause tonight I'm getting even with the blues That lonely feelings had it's way Ever since the day I heard you say goodbye The hurting thinks its found a home But I'm gonna let it know it ain't welcome here tonight Tomorrow that old cloud may come around And there won't be anything that I can do But tonight I'm getting even with the blues That lonely feelings had it's way Ever since the day I heard you say goodbye The hurting thinks its found a home But I'm gonna let it know it ain't welcome here tonight Tomorrow that old cloud may come around And there won't be anything that I can do But tonight I'm getting even with the blues Oh, tonight I'm getting even with the blues
There's a place I'm going to Where I'll be over you And I'm gonna go till I get there Long as the road don't run out Long as my heart don't let me down I'll keep the wheels turning 'round Till I get there I don't know when I don't know how But I'm finding my freedome And that's somewhere I've never gone Through these tears, I see now It's gonna take leavin' For me to know where I belong There's a place I'm going to Where I'll be over you And I'm gonna go till I get there Long as the road don't run out Long as my heart don't let me down I'll keep the wheels turning 'round Till I get there It's just beyond the edge of my sorrow I'll turn the key and I'll be on my way With the help of my old friend tomorrow I'm gonna put a million miles on yesterday There's a place I'm going to Where I'll be over you And I'm gonna go till I get there Long as the road don't run out Long as my heart don't let me down I'll keep the wheels turning 'round Till I get there
I woke up at 3 am And stumbled in the dark I don't sleep much anyway Since we've been apart But that's just one of many things I've adjusted to so well Cause I surrendered long ago And now finally I can tell I'm getting used to Not getting over you Not wondering how to shake A hurt that won't go away Not knowing where to turn Is something I thought I'd never learn It's really nothing new I'm just getting used to not getting over you I head down highway 40 Past the place we used to go I don't stop to cry anymore I just drive by real slow And I don't feel the dagger When somebody speaks your name I guess that I'm just growing more Accustomed to the pain I'm getting used to Not getting over you Not wondering how to shake A hurt that won't go away Not knowing where to turn Is something I thought I'd never learn It's really nothing new I'm just getting used to not getting over you Not knowing where to turn Is something I thought I'd never learn It's really nothing new I'm just getting used to not getting over you A feeling I can't lose I'm just getting used to not getting over you
If this ole heart Was built like a truck These Rocky ole roads wouldn't be so rough And if it ever broke down I'd patch it up If this ole heart was built like a truck If this ole heart was made like a train A lot of smoke and steel, wouldn't feel no pain And it wouldn't look back as it rolled away If this ole heart was made like a train But this ole heart is flesh and blood Gets in trouble when it cares too much Keeps hangin' on when it ought to give up On somethin that's passed I wish it had wheels and I wish it had wings Cause I could sure use just one of those things Then this danged ole fallin' out of love wouldn't hurt so bad But this ole heart ain't made like that If this ole heart was like an ole tin roof Beatin' by the rain, wheathered and used A fresh coat of paint would make it good as new If this ole heart was like an ole tin roof But this ole heart is flesh and blood Gets in trouble when it cares too much Keeps hangin' on when it ought to give up On somethin that's passed I wish it had wheels and I wish it had wings Cause I could sure use just one of those things Then this danged ole fallin' out of love wouldn't hurt so bad But this ole heart ain't made like that
This morning I'm aching all over Can't eat, can't sleep, can't rest Oh I need to go see a doctor For this achin down deep in my chest Is there a cure For the common Heartache An unknown prescription Any loser can take I'd be the first to become addicted If there's a cure For the common heartache I know right where I got it This sickness that's got me laid up I don't have the strength now to fight it This old condition called love Is there a cure For the common Heartache An unknown prescription Any loser can take I'd be the first to become addicted If there's a cure For the common heartache Is there a cure For the Common Heartache
Do you get the feeling Even when you're not alone There's a memory making itself at home And it don't let loose no matter what you do That's me not loving you Lately you are sleeping And you've got the window closed Yet there's a crack somewhere Cause you can feel the cold wind blow And it gets to you, no matter what you do That's me not loving you Didn't I tell you when you left You never would forget the love you could have kept Now every night in your empty room The only thing you're holding is the truth If you hear a heartbeat Where there really should be two That's me not loving you When all you hear is silence Then you'll know the voice is mine If the phone don't ring And the bell don't chime And that someone new, you'll never get used to Well that's me not loving you Didn't I tell you when you left You never would forget the love you could have kept Now every night in your empty room The only thing you're holding is the truth If you hear a heartbeat Where there really should be two That's me not loving you
You sit in the shadows You don't complain or criticize And while the world may see me as a fool They're not looking through your eyes No questions asked, you're there when I need you With a love that inspires me to be everything you deserve 'Cause you're my unsung hero And I know it's not easy to walk in your shoes Day after day youcontinue to amaze me Now I sing this song of love for you While others long to steal the spotlight You work your magic quietly Cause you're not in it for the glory The love you give comes naturally I may not have much, but what I have I give to you And this song that I sing is my gift And I swear that I mean every word 'Cause you're my unsung hero And I know it's not easy to walk in your shoes Day after day youcontinue to amaze me Now I sing this song of love for you 'Cause you're my unsung hero And I know it's not easy to walk in your shoes Day after day youcontinue to amaze me Now I sing this song of love for you Now I sing this song of love For you
I've got an ice-cold cup of coffee/ And a paper I haven't read/ A canyon in my heart/ And a hammer in my head/ And a waitress with an empty stare/ That looks right through me. I'm sitting at this table/ And I'm balancing the salt/ Weighing out my choices/ Baby, it's nobody's fault/ And I'm torn up by these voices/ talking to me. You say there's no good reason/ For me to walk away/ You say there's so much good between us/ Who wouldn't want to stay/ But how can I be with you/ If deep down I believe/ I'll lose a part of me. CHORUS: Sometimes goodbye is the only open door/ I can't turn back when I know there's something more/ I gotta find what my heart beats for. I've got half a page of reasons/ And a napkin full of tears/ From trying to pull my spirt/ Through the pocket of my fears/ As the lunch crowd empties out/ Into the city. And there may not be a way for me/ To make you understand / I'll write down the words I'm feeling/ And I'll leave it in your hands/ But the memories of our love/ I'm taking with me. You say there's no good reason/ For me to walk away/ You say we're meant to be together/ And I'm making a mistake/ But the emptiness inside me/ Had brought me to this road and I have to let you go.(REPEAT CHORUS) For the passion everlasting/ For the deepest dream/ For a chance to love like that/ There is no in between. (REPEAT CHORUS)

Love is such a big rush/ You wanna hurry it along/ 'Cause you can't get close enough/ And I know it wouldn't feel wrong. CHORUS: But it's alright going slowly/ Just fine getting to know me/ I'll give you one thing you can't but/ Baby you can take my time. Like a river flowing/ We can roll on and on/ Not knowing where we're going/ Living in a moment before it's gone.(REPEAT CHORUS) I know what you want/ I'll be here holding on.(REPEAT CHORUS) Heart will be waiting/ Baby you can take my time/ My time/ Going slowly/ Getting to know me/ You can take my time.

Maybe it's been a little too long/ Holding it in, trying to be strond/ Funny the things we bottle up/ Come streaming out when you feel enough/ There is a trust the cautious will lack/ Now that we've touched there's no holding back. I want to call out for love 'til I can't breathe/ I want to stare at the truth 'til I can't see/ I want to pour out my soul 'til I'm empty/ Empty. When only flesh and done remain/ I'll hold you close, then start again/ Feeling nothing but a sweet release/ When the ghosts are gone from inside of me. I've tried to fight but what can i do/ There's something deeper that surrenders to you. I want to call out for love 'til I can't breathe/ I want to stare at the truth 'til I can't see/ I want to pour out my soul 'til I'm empty/ Empty. When I touch you, when I hear you/ How can I doubt when every time I'm near you. I want to call out for love 'til I can't breathe/ I want to stare at the truth 'til I can't see/ I want to pour out my soul 'til I'm empty/ Empty/ Empty

Well the sun sets in the west/ But as fast as you go, how would you know/ You're a busy boy I guess/ Who just wants the gold at the end of the road/ Think of all you miss/ Passing through like this. CHORUS: You want an answer as soon as you say a prayer/ You want to land the moment you're in the air/ Baby the living is all in the getting there. Don't be the first in every lone/ Now and then you can be at the end/ 'Cause there's only so much time/ And you can't get back every minute you spend/ Your not even sure/ What your running for.(REPEAT CHORUS) Think of all you miss/ Passing through like this.(REPEAT CHORUS) The living is all in the getting there/ Getting there

There he goes, gone again/ Same old story's gotta come to an end/ Lovin' hom was a one-way street/ But I'm getting off where the crossroads meet. A quarter moon in a ten-cent town/ Time for me to lay my heartaches down/ Saturday night and I'm gonna make myself a name/ Take a month of Sundays to try and explain. CHORUS: It's gonna be easy to fill the heart of a thirsty woman/ Harder to kill the ghost of a no-good man/ And I'll be ridin' high in a fandangled sku/ It's gonna be easy/ It's gonna be easy from now on. Raw as the wind, but clean as bone/ Soft to the touch when you take me home/ When the morning comes and it's time for me to leave/ Don't worry about me 'cause I got a wild card up my sleeve. (REPEAT CHORUS)

Throwing pictures out the window/ Scattered by the way the wind blows/ Bye, bye baby, that's the last I'll see of you/ Shoebox full of old love letters. I'll tear each one 'til I feel better/ And I won't look back 'cause I don't like th view. CHORUS: What my heart needs now is rest/ So I'm packin' up and I'm headed west/ My mind's made up, I put it to the test/ Pushing myself and this old machine/ Burning fumes and what's left of my dreams/ Let 'em go 'cause I don't need no strings/ Just give me a road and a little gasoline. We talked in cicles 'til the words ran out' And it all came down to an angry shout/ Before I knew it I was in third gear and gone/ Well this had been coming for a long, long time/ If you think I'm sorry, well I'd be lying/ If you think I'll never make it, well you'd be wrong. (REPEAT CHORUS TWICE) Just give me a road and a little gasoline

Last thing I wanted was/ Someone who wants me so much/ I don't like nobody leaning on me/ Last thing I needed was/ Somebody hanging around because/ In their eyes I am something to see.CHORUS: Like a hole in my head/ Like a rock in my show. Like an ache in my heart when I think of you/ Last thing I wanted/ Last thing I wanted was you. Last thing I thought I'd do/ Was open my heart to you/ I got good reasons for keeping it closed/ Last place I thought I'd be/ Was here with you next to me/ 'Cause I'm use to sleeping alone.(REPEAT CHORUS) Sometimes what we want/ Ain't what we need, maybe/ Baby I need you.(REPEAT CHORUS)
Written by Mary Chapin Carpenter & Kim Richey
All this running nowhere fast/ All these faces that I pass/ All these souls that don't reach out/ Leave me feeling so without/ I think you got here just in time? I think it's meant to be/ And I'm ready to do anything/ I want to tell you everthing. Every nightmare, every dream/ Every fear I've ever had/ All the good and all the bad/ All the secretes that I've kept/ My mistakes and my regrets/ The relief that it would bring/ Just to tell you everything. CHORUS: Just to be all you need/ When you need somebody there/ Just to let go and still know/ You won't go anywhere. Just to find myself again/ Tell you who I've always been/ Just to feel my spirit rise/ When I look into your eyes/ And see what I've been dying for/ Baby I want nothing more/ Than these songs I'm gonna sing/ When I tell you everything.(REPEAT CHORUS) All this loneliness that ruled/ All the years that had me fooled/ Now they seem to slip away/ When you tuen to me and say/ I think you got here just in time. Baby I'd do anything/ I want to tell you everything.

I've been looking for a way to fill the empty place/ With everything from portry to love in cyberspace/ I contemplate my future, I analyze my past/ I twist myself up like a pretzel in my yoga class/ I find attraction in small distractions.CHORUS: It's a piece that I've been missing/ A voice when I really liste/ A groove that's going to make me sing/ A feeling only love can bring/ I'm ready for the real thing. Meditating, medicating, looking for a fix/ Now I'm getting to the bottom of my bag of tricks/ Trying to catch a break with each ticking of the clock/ Searching for the prize inside my cracker jack box/ Something to save me/ From all theis waiting. (REPEAT CHORUS) I've looked around and I've discovered/ Nothing can touch me like a lover. (REPEAT CHORUS)

We got our first McDonald's/ And it made the headline news/ In a town where no one locks their doofs at night/ All the lights are flashing yellow. We just roll right through. And there is not a superstore in sight. But there's nore to life/ I told myself I'd say goodbye/ By the time the clock struck twelve. CHORUS: But I can't pull the trigger on that changing world out there/ With all these dreams I can't believe I'm still standing here/ It's time to face the fact I'm not the rebel that I thought/ 'Cause midnight's gone but I'm not. Everyone I run into/ Has known me all my life/ There are no secretes you can call your own/ Since the age of seventeen/ I've faced the morning light/ You saying this day is the day I'm gonna go. All I have to do is drive away/ But the things that make me crazy/ Always make me stay. (REPEAT CHORUS) It's time to gace the fact I'm not the rebel that I thought/ 'Cause midnight's gone/ But I'm not

I've got money in my pocket/ I like the color of my hair/ I've got a friend who loves me/ Got a house, I've got a car/ I've got a good mother/ And her voice is what keeps me here. Feet on ground/ Heart in hand/ Facing forward, be yourself/ I've never wanted anything/ Oh, I've never wanted anything so bad. Cardboard masks of all the people I've been/ Thrown out with all the rusted, tangled, dented worn-out miserious/ You could say I'm hard to hold/ But if you knew me you'd know/ I've got a good father/ And his strength is what makes me cry. Feet on ground, heart in hand/ Facing forward, be yourself/ I've never wanted anything/ Oh, I've never wanted anything so bad. I've got money in my pocket/ I like the color of my hair/ I've got a friend that loves me/ Got a house, I've got a car/ I've got a good mother/ And her voice is what keeps me here/ Feet of ground, heart in hand/ Facing forward, be yourself/ Heart in hand, feet on ground/ Facing forward, be yourself/ Just be yourself/ Just be yourself
