You can tell the world, you never was my girl you can burn my clothes up when I'm gone 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 go back to the farm you can tell may feet to hit the floor or you can tell may lips 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 he'd understand and if you tell my heart my achy breaky heart he might blow up and kill this man You can tell your ma, I moved to Arkansas you can tell your dog to bite my leg or tell your brother Cliff whose fist can tell my lip he never really liked my anyway Or tell your aunt Louise, tell anything you please myself already knows I'm not OK or you can tell my eyes to watch out for my mind it might be walking out on me today |

I knew a man called him Sandy Kane
Few folks even knew his name But a hero yes was he Left a boy came back a man Still many just don't understand About the reasons we are free I can't forget the look in his eyes Or the tears he cried As he said these words to me All gave some and some gave all And some stood through for the red, white and blue And some had to fall And if you ever think of me Think of all your liberties and recall Some gave all... Now Sandy Kane is no longer here But his words are oh so clear As they echo throughout our land For all his friends who gave us all Who stood the ground and took the fall To help their fellow man Love your country and live with pride And don't forget those who died America can't you see All gave some and some gave all And some stood through for the red, white and blue And some had to fall And if you ever think of me Think of all your liberties and recall Some gave all... And if you ever think of me Think of all your liberties and recall, yes recall Some gave all Some gave all... |

I hear you just got married
Took 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 mail man didnt 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 thought about standing up I told John he must have been crazy cuz 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've been me standing there with you it could've been me and my dreams coming true but those dreams move on if you wait too long It took me to now to see that it could've been me I dont 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 cuz my eyes grow dim when I think you could've been mine It could've been me standing there with you it could've been me and my dreams coming true but those dreams move on if you wait too long It took me to now to see that it could've been me I know I called just in time bit too late You know dreams move on if you wait too long It took me to now to see that It could've been me standing there with you it could've been me and my dreams coming true but those dreams move on if you wait too long It took me to now to see that it could've been me It could've been me |

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 when I get home
My ole lady's throwed 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 till dawn So where'm I gonna live when I get home Where'm I gonna live when I get home... <i>[piano - guitar]</i> She decided she would keep my cat My transportation I wouldn't be a 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... 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 |

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 |

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... |

I went through the closet back in my old home
Found a letterman's jacket so I slipped it on Deep in the pocket still folded up tight Was the letter you wrote to tell me goodbye The minute I saw it I just had to smile It smelled like old leather as smooth as a child I took a deep breath then put it away There was no need to read it I knew just what it would say I know the words by heart, I know every line From this ain't easy to you'll get along just fine I know every comma, every question mark No I don't have to look I know the words by heart Seems like home movies flash through my head The homecoming game, that night on my bed The words that you wrote still cut me in two How you said you still cared but that we were through I know the words by heart, I know every line From this ain't easy to you'll get along just fine I know every comma, every question mark No I don't have to look I know the words by heart Ain't it funny how a memory can play tricks on your mind I don't remember a thing from my classes but I can quote you every line I took off my jacket and put it away With your note in the pocket like I found it that day Poured me a beer then pictured your face And drank a silent toast to things that time can't erase I know the words by heart, I know every line From this ain't easy to you'll get along just fine I know every comma, every question mark No I don't have to look I know the words by heart I know the words by heart, I know every line From this ain't easy to you'll get along just fine I know every comma, every question mark No I don't have to look I know the words by heart I know the words |

The leaves on the tree are turnin' inside out
From the Great White North there's a big black cloud Run for shelter if you can There's a storm in the heartland We made it through the flood of '93 But this is gonna be the death of me I can't hide the tears of a desperate man There's a storm in the heartland She's leavin' me just like a restless wind And I can see my world is comin' to an end Like the sound of thunder angry words ring out again There's a storm in the heartland There's a storm in the heartland The love she gave was like a breath of spring Sweet and pure as a mountain stream I couldn't see the danger close at hand There's a storm in the heartland She's leavin' me just like a restless wind And I can see my world is comin' to an end Like the sound of thunder angry words ring out again There's a storm in the heartland There's a storm in the heartland There's a storm in the heartland |

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 |

Scratched a heart on your door
Then I showed myself outside Lashed my soul 'cross this twin-v horse And rode off in the night Guess you noticed I'm gone And the low morning sun's Cast some shadows with questions inside So the truth's in this letter At dawn will shed a new light Truth is I lied when I said I'd always be your whippin' pet I lied when I said, "I shouldn't mind the hurt I guess" When I pleaded and stated I needed you just to survive Truth is last night when you Tore my heart apart my mind began Never thinkin' 'bout thinkin' like your fool again And a freedom that filled me Kept spelling out truth as I'd write Truth is I lied Saw an image of you Where the highway touched the sky It was blockin' my view So I steered that thought aside Now the morning and me ride A cold memory past tomorrow to some other town Where we'll never care whether This truth was lost or found Truth is I lied when I said I'd always be your whippin' pet I lied when I said, "I shouldn't mind the hurt I guess" When I pleaded and stated I needed you just to survive (I lied) Truth is last night when you Tore my heart apart my mind began Never thinkin' 'bout thinkin' like your fool again And a freedom that filled me Kept spelling out truth as I'd write Truth is I lied Truth is I lied... |

Do I love you just a thousand times
Lately I've been going out of my mind I get the feeling you're pulling away It's gonna hurt me if you won't stay Can't stand the thought of being alone You need to be there when I get home If you could tell me just one more time It would surely ease my mind Three little words would be fine I love you, I love you I need you Know that you're still mine Three little words would be fine It's gotten crazy I don't understand How can love get so out of hand I've never been so uncertain before Is there someone behind another door I've got to know if I'm right or wrong With mixed emotions I can't go on I've got to konw that I'm not blind Just lay it on the line Three little words would be fine I love you, I love you I need you Know that you're still mine Three little words would be fine --- Instrumental --- Can't stand the thought of being alone You need to be there when I get home If you could tell me just one more time It would surely ease my mind Three little words would be fine I love you, I love you I need you Know that you're still mine Three little words would be fine I love you, I love you I love you, I love you... |

I wanna tell you all a story 'bout a
Harper Valley widowed wife Who had a teenage daughter who attended Harper Valley Junior High Well, her daughter came home one afternoon and didn't even stop to play And she said, "Mama, got a note here from the Harper Valley P.T.A." Well, the note said, "Mrs. Johnson, you're wearin your dresses way too high It's reported you've been drinkin' and a-runnin' round with men and goin' wild And we don't believe you oughta be a-bringing up your little girl this way." And it was signed by "The Secretary, Harper Valley P.T.A." Instrumental Well, it happened that the P.T.A. was gonna meet that very afternoon And they were sure surprised when Mrs. Johnson wore her miniskirt into the room And as she walked up to the blackboard I can still recall the words she had to say She said, "I'd like to address this meeting of the Harper Valley P.T.A." "Well there's Bobby Taylor sitting there, and seven times he's asked me for a date. And Mrs. Taylor sure seems to use a lot of ice whenever he's away. And Mr. Baker, can you tell us why your secretary had to leave this town? And shouldn't widow Jones be told to keep her window shades all pulled completely down." "Well, Mr Harper couldn't be here 'cause he stayed too long at Kelly's bar again. And if you smell Shirley Thompson's breath, you'll find she's had a little nip of gin. And then you have the nerve to tell me, you think that as a mother I'm not fit. Well, this is just a little Peyton Place and you're all Harper Valley hypocrites." No, I wouldn't put you on because it really did, it happened just this way; The day my mama socked it to the Harper Valley P.T.A. The day my mama socked it to the Harper Valley P.T.A. The day my mama socked it to the Harper Valley P.T.A... |

I've been holding back words
And waiting for time There's a lesson here somewhere I know it's mine And though I'll remember the promise we made Promises don't justify feeling this way, anymore It's time for letting go We can't hide what we both know But ooh, the hurtin' grows Every time I think it's over You've been keeping all your secrets inside I know the truth now baby, you don't have to hide No, No, no. But my mind wanders to the very first day What a shame things had to turn out this way Now I know it's Time for letting go We can't hide what we both know But ooh, the hurtin' grows Every time I think it's over No words could bring back your affection And no lies could keep me holding on Holding on, holding on Now I know it's Time for letting go We can't hide what we both know But ooh, the hurtin' grows Every time I think it's over I'ts time to realize That we're both just living lies And way down deep inside The time is telilng me it's time for letting go Let it go I keep telling myself over and over Let it go But my love feels strong I just keep rolling on, and on and on I know, Time for letting go It's time for letting go... |

I gave two teeth in a teenage brawl
For a girl whose name I can't recall Then we broke up I gave a knee to the football team Chasing that high school state champ dream We almost won I gave junior college almost a year Then I gave a Greyhound twenty bucks And that's how I got here I give all my money for a slice of daily bread I give forty honest hours to a boss I never met And I gave my soul to Jesus at the age of twenty-two So there ain't much left to offer But I give my heart to you I gave a beard and a head of hair To a boot camp corporal with a barber's chair At Camp LeJeune I gave Uncle Sam what he bargained for Twenty-four months, not a minute more I just didn't fit in Then I gave a high school friend of mine a call And we gave a body shop a try 'Til we gave up last fall I give all my money for a slice of daily bread I give forty honest hours to a boss I never met And I gave my soul to Jesus at the age of twenty-two So there ain't much left to offer But I give my heart to you And I gave my soul to Jesus at the age of twenty-two So there ain't much left to offer But I give my heart to you... |
