The moon is full
And my arms are empty All night long I've pleaded and cried You always said The day that you would leave me Would be a cold day in July Your bags are packed And not a word is spoken I guess we said Everything with 'goodbye' Time moves so slow And promises get broken On this cold day in July * Sun's comin' up, comin' up Down on Main street Children shout as they're Running out to play Head in my hands Here I am standin' in my bare feet Watchin you drive away Watchin you drive away We said that we Were gonna last forever Would said our love Would never die It looks like spring And it feels like sunny weather But, it's a cold day in July * Repeat The moon is full And my arms are empty All night long How I've pleaded and cried You always said The day that you would leave me Would be a cold day in July Here comes that cold day in July |

Mary Ann and Wanda were the best of friends
All through their high school days. Both members of the 4-H club. Both active in the FFA. After graduation, Mary Ann went out Lookin' for a bright new world. Wanda looked all around this town And all she found was Earl. Well, it wasn't two weeks After she got married that Wanda started gettin' abused. She put on dark glasses And long sleeve blouses And makeup to cover a bruise. Well, she finally got the nerve To file for divorce. She let the law take it from there. But, Earl walked right through That restraining order and Put her in intensive care. Right away Mary Ann flew in from Atlanta On a red-eye, midnight flight. She held Wanda's hand As they worked out a plan And it didn't take them Long to decide that Earl had to die. Goodbye Earl Those black-eyed peas They tasted alright to me, Earl You're feelin' weak? Why don't you lay down and sleep, Earl Ain't it dark Wrapped up in that tarp, Earl The cops came by To bring Earl in. They searched the house High and low. Then they tipped their hats And said 'thank you, ladies' 'If you hear from him let us know' Well, the weeks went by And spring turned to summer And summer faded into fall And it turns out he Was a missing person who Nobody missed at all. So the girls bought some land At a roadside stand Out on highway 109 They sell Tennessee ham And strawberry jam And they don't lose Any sleep at night. 'Cuz Earl had to die. Goodnight, Earl We need a break Let's go out to the lake, Earl We'll pack a lunch And stuff you in the trunk, Earl Well, is that alright? Good, let's go for a ride, Earl Hey, well hey, hey, hey Aw, hey, hey, hey Well, hey, hey, hey |

And we were all getting ready to go. And the boss man started screamin' And his veins began to show He said 'you and you come with me' Cuz you're gonna have to stay.

Well I was talking with my baby Over a small glass of tea He asked the loaded question. He said 'how do you feel about me?' My mind was racin' I was pacin' But the words just wouldn't come And there was only one thing left to do I feel it comin' on. * repeat(2X) You gotta loosen up those chains and dance.

Two days past eighteen
He was waitin' for the bus in his Army greens Sat down in a booth at the cafe there Gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair He's a little shy so she give him a smile And he said 'Would you mind sittin' down for a while And talkin' to me, I'm feelin' a little low' She said 'I'm off in an hour, and I know where we can go' So they went down, and they sat on the pier He said 'I bet you got a boy friend, but I don't care I got no one to send a letter to Would you mind if I sent one back here to you?' Chorus I cried Never gonna hold the hand of another guy Too young for him they told her Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier Our love will never end Waitin' for the soldier to come back again Never more to be alone When the letter (said) (says), a soldier's comin' (home) 2nd Verse So the letters came from an Army camp In California, then Vietnam And he told her of his heart It might be love and all of the things he was so scared of He said 'When it's gettin' kinda rough over here I think of that day sittin' down at the pier And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile Don't worry, but I won't be able to write for a while' (Repeat Chorus) 3rd Verse One Friday night at a football game The Lord's Prayer said and the Anthem sang A man said 'Folks, would you bow your heads For a list 'a local Vietnam dead' Cryin' all alone under the stands Was a piccolo player in the marchin' band And one name read, and nobody really cared But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair (Chorus Out) |

You don't like the sound of the truth
Coming from my mouth You say that I lack the proof Well baby that might be so I might get to the end of my life Find out everyone was lying I don't think that I’m afraid anymore Say that I would rather die trying Chorus: Who-oh Swing me way down south Sing me something brave from your mouth And I'll bring you pearls of water on my hips And the love in my lips All the love in my lips This time when he swung the bat And I found myself laying flat I wondered What a way to spend a dime What a way to use the time, ain't it baby? I looked at my reflection in the window walking past And I saw a stranger Just so scared all the time it makes me one more reason Why the world's dangerous Chorus: Who-oh Swing me way down south Sing me something brave from your mouth And I'll bring you pearls of water on my hips And the love in my lips All the love in my lips You don't like the sound of the truth Coming from my mouth You say that I lack the proof Well baby that might be so Tell me what's wrong with having a little faith In what you're feeling in your heart Why must we be so afraid And always so far apart Chorus: Who-oh Swing me way down south Sing me something brave from your mouth And I'll bring you pearls of water on my hips And the love in my lips All the love in my lips |

I mistook the warnings for wisdom
From so called friends quick to advise Though your touch was telling me otherwise Somehow I saw you as a weakness I thought I had to be strong Oh but I was just young, I was scared, I was wrong Not a night goes by I don't dream of wandering Through the home that might have been And I listened to my pride When my heart cried out for you Now every day I wake again In a house that might have been A home Guess I did what I did believing That love is a dangerous thing Oh but that couldn't hurt anymore than never knowing Not a night goes by I don't dream of wandering Through the home that might have been And I listened to my pride When my heart cried out for you Now every day I wake again In a house that might have been A home A home Four walls, a roof, a door, some windows Just a place to run when my working day is through They say home is where the heart is If the exception proves the rule I guess that's true Not a night goes by I don't dream of wandering Through the home that might have been And I listened to my pride When my heart cried out for you Now every day I wake again In a house that might have been A home A home |

I'm so close to you baby
But I'm so far away There's a silence between us And there's so much to say You're my strength, you're my weakness You're my faith, you're my doubt We gotta meet in the middle To work this thing out More love, I can hear our hearts cryin' More love, I know that's all we need More love, to flow in between us To take us and hold us and lift us above If there's ever an answer It's more love We're afraid to be idle So we fill up the days We run on the treadmill Keep slavin' away 'til there's no time for talkin' About trouble in mind And the doors are all closed Between your heart and mine More love, I can hear our hearts cryin' More love, I know that's all we need More love, to flow in between us To take us and hold us and lift us above If there's ever an answer It's more love Just look out around us People fightin' their wars They think they'll be happy When they've settled their scores Let's lay down our weapons That hold us apart Be still for just a minute Try to open our hearts More love, I can hear our hearts cryin' More love, I know that's all we need More love, to flow in between us To take us and hold us and lift us above If there's ever an answer It's more love I can hear our hearts cryin' More love, I know that's all we need More love, to flow in between us To take us and hold us and lift us above If there's ever an answer It's more love |

I made a promise to myself
Locked it way deep down inside Told my heart we'd wait it out Swore we'd never compromise Oh I'd rather be alone Like I am tonight I'd settle for the kind of love That fades before the morning light Silence staring me in the face And I finally heard it's voice Seemed to softly say That in love you have no choice Today I got the answer And there's a world of truth behind it Love is out there waiting somewhere You just have to go and find it I believe in love, I believe in love Love that's real, love that's strong Love that lives on and on Yes I believe in love (Martie's fiddle) I believe in love, I believe in love Love that's real, love that's strong Love that lives on and on Yes I believe in love Yes I believe in love |

Well there was a little falter at the altar of confession
Down on its knees true love did fall After 31 days of sleepless nights, she woke up to end it all With "I love you" on a fresh tattoo engraved upon his chest She tore her name right off his heart So here’s to the unblessed Oh love, oh love you fickle thing Such pretty words and golden rings It was a broken dream right from the start Bless their tortured, tangled hearts Well a blast of confusion coupled with delusion Makes the best made plans sometimes fail They wined and they dined, had peace of mind She bought a gown and he rented tails But the mighty cloud of destiny came driftin' through the gates And busted up what could have been a perfect, hopeless case Oh love, oh love you fickle thing Such pretty words and golden rings It was a broken dream right from the start Bless their tortured, tangled hearts Oh love, oh love you fickle thing Such pretty words and golden rings It was a broken dream right from the start Bless their tortured, tangled hearts |

I wished I was smarter
I wished I was stronger I wished I loved Jesus The way the my wife does I wished it'd been easier Instead of any longer I wished I could've stood Where you would've been proud That won't happen now That won't happen now There's a whole lot of singing That's never gonna be heard Disppearing every day Without so much as a word Somehow Think I broke the wings Off that little songbird She's never gonna fly To the top of the world Right now Top of the world I don't have to answer Any of these questions Don't have no guide to Teach me no lessons I come home in the evening Sit in my chair One night they called me for supper But I never got up I stayed right there In my chair There's a whole lot of singing That's never gonna be heard Disappearing every day Without so much as a word Somehow I think I broke the wings Off a little songbird She's never gonna fly To the top of the world Right now I wished I'd had known you Wished I had shown you All of the things I Was on the inside I'd pretend to be sleeping When you'd come in, in the morning To whisper goodbye Go to work in the rain I don't know why Don't know why Cause everyone's singing We just wanna be heard Disappearing every day Without so much as a word Somehow? Wanna grab a hold Of that little songbird Take her for a ride To the top of the world Right now (musical interlude) Ohhh, ohhh To the top of the world (times 7) To the top of the wo-o-o-o-r-r-r-r-ld |

I need love, love to ease my mind I need to find, find someone to call mine But mama said you can't hurry love No, you'll just have to wait She said love don't come easy It's a game of give and take I can't hurry love, no, you'll just have to wait Just trust, give it time No matter how long it takes How many heartaches must I stand Before I find the love to let me live again Right now the only thing that keeps me hanging on When I feel my strength, yeah it's almost gone I remember mama said You can't hurry love No you'll just have to wait She said love don't come easy It's a game of give and take How long must I wait, how much more must I take Before lonliness, will cause my heart, heart to break? No, I can't bear to live my life alone I grow impatient for a love to call my own But when I feel that I, I can't go on These precious words keep me hangin' on I remember mama sayin' you can't hurry love No, you'll just have to wait She said love don't come easy It's a game of give and take I can't hurry love No, you'll just have to wait She said trust, give it time No matter how long it takes, gotta wait! No love, love don't come easy But I keep on waiting Anticipating for that soft voice To talk to me at night For some tender arms to hold me tight I keep waiting, I keep on waiting But it ain't easy (it ain't easy) No, you know it ain't easy When mama said You can't hurry love No, you'll just have to wait She said, trust give it time, no matter how long it takes She said love don't come easy it's a game of give and take-acapo |

When the calls and conversations
Accidents and accusations Messages and misperceptions Paralyze my mind Busses, cars, and airplanes leaving Burning fumes of gasoline And everyone is running And I come to find a refuge in the Easy silence that you make for me It's okay when there's nothing more to say to me And the peaceful quiet you create for me And the way you keep the world at bay for me The way you keep the world at bay Monkeys on the barricades Are warning us to back away They form commissions trying to find The next one they can crucify And anger plays on every station Answers only make more questions I need something to believe in Breathe in sanctuary in the Easy silence that you make for me It's okay when there's nothing more to say to me And the peaceful quiet you create for me And the way you keep the world at bay for me The way you keep the world at bay Children lose their youth too soon Watching war made us immune And I've got all the world to lose But I just want to hold on to the Easy silence that you make for me It's okay when there's nothing more to say to me And the peaceful quiet you create for me And the way you keep the world at bay for me The easy silence that you make for me It's okay when there's nothing more to say to me And the peaceful quiet you create for me And the way you keep the world at bay for me The way you keep the world at bay for me The way you keep the world at bay |

Would you know me and see behind the smile I can change like colors on a wall Hoping no one else will find what lies beneath it all I think I hide it all so well Stepping out, everyone can see my face All the things I can't erase from my life Everybody knows Standing out so you won't forget my name That's the way we play this game of life Everybody knows Looking through the crowd I search for something else But every time I turn around I run into myself Here I stand Consumed with my surroundings Just another day Of everybody looking I swore they'd never see me cry You'll never see me cry Stepping out, everyone can see my face All the things I can't erase from my life Everybody knows Standing out so you won't forget my name That's the way we play this game of life Everybody knows You say I'll pay the price That's the chance that I'll take Though you may think I'm telling lies But I just call it getting by Stepping out, everyone can see my face All the things I can't erase from my life Everybody knows Standing out so you won't forget my name That's the way we play this game of life Everybody knows I am just barely getting by |

Back when we started
We didn't know how hard it was Living on nothing But what the wind would bring to us Now we've got something I can imagine fighting for So why is fighting all that we're good at anymore And sometimes I don't have the energy To prove everybody wrong And I try my best to be strong But you know it's so hard It's so hard It's so hard when it doesn't come easy It's so hard when it doesn't come fast It's so hard when it doesn't come easy It's so hard It felt like a given Something a woman's born to do A natural ambition To see a reflection of me and you And I'd feel so guilty If that was a gift I couldn't give And could you be happy If life wasn't how we pictured it And sometimes I just want to wait it out To prove everybody wrong And I need your help to move on Cause you know it's so hard It's so hard It's so hard when it doesn't come easy It's so hard when it doesn't come fast It's so hard when it doesn't come easy So hard I can live for the moment When all these clouds open up for me to see And show me a vision Of you and me swimming peacefully Last night you told me That you can't remember How to feel free It's so hard when it doesn't come easy It's so hard when it doesn't come fast It's so hard when it doesn't come easy, easy It's so hard |

"Thou shall not kill" I don't wanna hear nothing else about killing And that it's God's will 'Cause our children are watching us They put their trust in us They're gonna be like us So let's learn from our history And do it differently I hope, for more love, more joy and laughter I hope, we'll have more than we'll ever need I hope, we'll have more happy ever afters I hope, we can all live more fearlessly And we can lose all the pain and misery I hope, I hope Oh, Rosie, her man he gets too rough And all she can say, is he's a good man He don't mean no harm He was just brought up that way But our children are watching us They put their trust in us They're gonna be like us It's okay for us to disagree We can work it out lovingly I hope, more love, more joy and laughter I hope, you'll have more than you'll ever need I hope, you'll have more happy ever afters I hope, you can all live more fearlessly And you can lose all the pain and misery I hope, I hope There must be a way to change what's going on No I don't have all the answers I hope, for more love, more joy and laughter I hope, you'll have more than you'll ever need I hope, you'll have more happy ever afters I hope, we can all live more fearlessly And we can lose all the pain and misery I hope, I hope And we can lose all the pain and misery I hope, I hope I hope I hope...(repeating and fading through guitar solo/outro) |

I Made a promise to myself
Locked it way deep down inside Told my heart we'd wait it out Swore we'd never compromise Oh I'd rather be alone Like I am tonight Than settle for the kind of love That fades before the morning light Silence stared me in the face And I finally heard its voice It seemed to softly say That in love you have no choice Today I got the answer And there's a world of truth behind it Love is out there waiting somewhere You just have to go and find it Chorus I believe in love I believe in love Love that's real Love that's strong Love that lives On and on Yes I believe in love Repeat Chorus "Tribute to America" |

I took my love and I took it down
I climbed a mountain and I turned around And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills Well, the landslide brought me down Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love Can the child within my heart rise above Can I sail through the changing ocean tides Can I handle the seasons of my life Uh ah (uh ah) Uh ah (uh ah), uh ah Well, I've been afraid of changin' 'Cause I build my life around you But time makes you bolder Children get older And I'm getting older too Well Well, I've been afraid of changin' 'Cause I build my life around you But time makes you bolder Children get older And I'm getting older too Well, I'm getting older too So, take this love and take it down Yeah, and if you climb a mountain and you turn around And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills Well, the landslide brought me down And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills Well, maybe Well, maybe Well, maybe... the landslide will bring you down |

Two days past eighteen
He was waitin' for the bus in his army greens Sat down in a booth a café there Gave his order to the girl with a bow in her hair He's a little shy so she gave him a smile And he said would you mind sittin' down for a while And talkin' to me I'm feelin' a little low She said I'm off in an hour and I know where we can go So they went down and they sat on the pier He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care I've got no one to send a letter to Would you mind if I sent one back here to you? I cried Never gonna hold the hand of another guy Too young for him they told her Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier Our love will never end Waitin' for the soldier to come back again Never more to be alone When the letter says a soldier's comin home So the letters came From an army camp In California then Vietnam And he told her of his heart It might be love And all of the things he was so scared of Said when it's gettin kinda rough over here I think of that day sittin' down at the pier And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile Don't worry but I won't be able to write for a while I cried Never gonna hold the hand of another guy Too young for him they told her Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier Our love will never end Waitin' for the soldier to come back again Never more to be alone When the letter says a soldier's coming home (Martie's fiddle break - Emily's dobro break) One Friday night at a football game The Lord's Prayer said and the anthem sang A man said folks would you bow your heads For the list of local Vietnam dead Cryin' all alone under the stands Was a piccolo player in the marching band And one name read and nobody really cared But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair I cried Never gonna hold the hand of another guy Too young for him they told her Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier Our love will never end Waitin' for the soldier to come back again Never more to be alone When the letter says a soldier's comin I cried Never gonna hold the hand of another guy Too young for him they told her Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier Our love will never end Waitin' for the soldier to come back again Never more to be alone When the letter says a soldier's comin home |

You don't like the sound of the truth
Comin' from my mouth You say that I lack the proof Well baby there might be some I'm gonna get to the end of my life Find out everyone was lying I dont think that I'm afraid anymore Say that I would rather die trying Chorus Whoa, swing me way down south Sing me something brave from your mouth And I'll bring you pearls of water on my hips And the love in my lips All the love from my lips This time when he swung the bat and i found my self laying flat I wonder What a way to spend a dime what a way to use the time Aint it baby? I looked at my reflection in the window walking past and I saw a stranger Just so scared all the time It makes me one more reason why the world's dangerous Chorus (Music Solos) You don't like the sound of the truth coming from my mouth You say that I lack the proof Baby there might be some Tell me what's wrong with having a little faith In what your feeling in your heart Why must we be so afraid and always so far apart?

I mistook the warnings for wisdom
from so-called friends quick to advise though your touch was telling me otherwise Somehow I saw you as a weakness I thought I had to be strong Oh but I was just young I was scared I was wrong Not a night goes by I don't dream of wandering through the home that might have been I listened to my pride when my heart cried out for you Now everyday I wake again In a house that might've been A home Guess I did What I did believing that love is a dangerous thing Oh but that couldn't hurt anymore than never knowing Not a night goes by I don't dream of wandering through the home that might have been I listened to my pride when my heart cried out for you Now everyday I wake again In a house that might've been A home A home..... four walls, a roof, a door, some windows just a place to run when my workin day is through they say home is where the heart is if the exception proves the rule I guess that's true Not a night goes by I don't dream of wandering through the home that might have been I listened to my pride When my heart cried out for you now everyday I wake again In a house that might've been A home a home |

I'm so close to you baby
But I'm so far away There's a silence between us, and there's so much to say You're my strength you're my weakness You're my faith you're my doubt We gotta meet in the middle to work this thing out More Love I can hear our hearts cryin' More love I know that's all we need More love To flow in between us To take us and hold us And lift us above If there's ever an answer it's more love We're afraid to be idle So we fill up the days Run on the treadmill, keep slavin' away Till there's no time for talkin', about trouble in mind And the doors are all closed Between your heart and mine More Love I can hear our hearts cryin' More love I know that's all we need More love To flow in between us To take us and hold us And lift us above If there's ever an answer it's more love Just look out around us people fightin' their wars They think they'll be happy when they've settled their scores Let's lay down our weapons That hold us apart Be still for just a minute, Try to open our hearts More Love I can hear our hearts cryin' More love I know that's all we need More love To flow in between us To take us and hold us And lift us above If there's ever an answer it's More Love I can hear our hearts cryin' More love I know that's all we need More love To flow in between us To take us and hold us And lift us above If there's ever an answer it's more love More love |

Well there was a little falter at the altar of confession
Down on its knees, true love did fall After 31 days of sleepless nights, she woke up to end it all. With "I love you" on a fresh tattoo engraved upon his chest She tore her name right off his heart So here's to the unblessed. Chorus: Oh love, Oh love, you fickle thing Such pretty words, and golden rings. It was a broken dream right from the start Bless their tortured, tangled hearts. Well a blast of confusion, coupled with delusion Makes the best made plans sometime fail. They wined and they dined, had piece of mind She bought a gown and he rented tails. But the mighty cloud of destiny, came driftin' though the gates And busted up what could have been a perfect, hopeless case. Chorus: Oh love, Oh love, you fickle thing Such pretty words, and golden rings. It was a broken dream right from the start Bless their tortured, tangled hearts. Chorus: Oh love, Oh love, you fickle thing Such pretty words, and golden rings. It was a broken dream right from the start Bless their tortured, tangled hearts. |

I wished I was smarter, I wished I was stronger.
I wished I love Jesus, the way my wife does. I wish it had been easier, instead of any longer. I wished I could have stood where you would have been proud, that won't happen now, that won't happen now. Chorus: There's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard, Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow. Think I broke the wings off that little song bird, She's never gonna fly to the top of the world right now. Top of the world. I don't have to answer any of these questions. Don't have no God to teach me no lessons. I come home in the evening, sit in my chair. One night they called me for supper, but I never got up, I stayed right there in my chair. Chorus: There's a whole lot of singing that never gonna be heard, Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow. Think I broke the wings off that little song bird, She's never gonna fly to the top of the world right now. Top of the world. I wished I'd a known you, wished I'd a shown you, All of the things I was on the inside. I'd pretend to be sleeping, when you come in in the morning To whisper good-bye, go to work in the rain. I don't know why, don't know why. Cause everyone's singing, we just wanna be heard. Disappearing every day without so much as a word somehow. Wanna grab a hold of that little song bird, Take her for a ride to the top of the world right now. Whoa. Whoa. To the top of the world. To the top of the world. To the top of the world. To the top of the world. To the top of the world. To the top of the world. To the top of the world. To the top of the world. |

Mary-Ann and Wanda were the best of friends
All through their high school days Both members of the 4H Club Both active in the FFA After graduation Mary-Ann went out Lookin' for a bright new world Wanda looked all around this town And all she found was Earl Well it wasn't two weeks after she got married That Wanda started gettin' abused She put on dark glasses and long sleeved blouses And make-up to cover her bruise Well she finally got the nerve to file for divorce She let the law take it from there But Earl walked right through that restraining order And put her in intensive care Right away Mary-Ann flew in from Atlanta On a red eye midnight flight She held Wanda's hand and they worked out a plan And it didn't take 'em long to decide That Earl had to die! (na na na...) Goodbye Earl Those black-eyed peas (na na na...) They tasted all right to me, Earl You feelin' weak (na na na...) Why don't you lay down and sleep, Earl Ain't it dark (na na na...) Wrapped up in that tarp, Earl? The cops came by to bring Earl in They searched the house high and low Then they tipped their hats and said, "Thank you ladies if you hear from him let us know" Well the weeks went by and Spring turned to summer And summer faded into fall And it turns out he was a missing person who nobody missed at all So the girls bought some land and a roadside stand Out on Highway 109 They sell Tennessee ham and strawberry jam And they don't lose any sleep at night 'Cause Earl had to die (na na na...) Goodbye Earl We need a break... Let's go out to the lake, Earl We'll pack a lunch (na na na...) And stuff you in the trunk, Earl Well is that all right? (na na na...) Good!

But I'm looking forward to the sun. You have to feel the pain, When you lose the love you gave someone. I thought by now that time, Would take away these lonely tears. I hope you're doing fine all alone, But where do I go from here? 'cause Without you I'm not okay, And without you I've lost my way. My heart's stuck in second place, ooh,Without you. Well I never thought I'd be lying here without you by my side. It seems unreal to me, that the life you promised was a lie. You made it look so easy, making love into memories. I guess you got what you wanted, but what about me? 'cause Without you I'm not okay, And without you I've lost my way. My heart's stuck in second place. ooh ,Without you. Somebody tell my head to try to tell my heart, That I'm better off without you. 'Cause baby I can't live, Without you I'm not okay, And without you I've lost my way. My heart's stuck in second place, ooh, Without you Without you |

It was about five 'til five on Friday
We were all getting ready to go And the boss man started screaming and his veins began to show He said you and you come with me 'cause you're gonna have to stay My heart was thumping I was jumping I had to get away Some days you gotta dance Live it up when you get the chance 'Cause when the world doesn't make no sense And you're feeling just a little to tense Gotta loosen up those chains and dance Well I was talking with my baby over a small glass of tea He asked the loaded question He said "how do you feel about me?" My mind was racin' I was pacin' but the words just wouldn't come And there was only one thing left to do I feel it comin' on Some days you gotta dance Live it up when you get the chance 'Cause when the world doesn't make no sense And you're feeling just a little too tense Gotta loosen up those chains and dance A Haaa... Some days you gotta dance Live it up when you get the chance 'Cause when the world doesn't make no sense And you're feeling just a little to tense Gotta loosen up those chains and dance You gotta loosen up those chains and dance Come on and loosen up those chains and dance |

Hugged your friends
Kissed your mamma goodbye Baby in your arms and a tear in your eye Twelve hundred miles and you never asked why from me Me and the baby and you side by side We all knew we was in for a long hard ride Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide it seemed We honked the horn when we crossed the state line Woke up the baby and she started to cry She must've known what we were going to find CHORUS This ain't nothin' but a Heartbreak Town Square people in a world that's round And they watch you dancin' Without the sound It ain't nothin' no nothin' oh... You take your number and you stand in line And they watch to see how high you're gonna climb Pat on the back and better luck next time It ain't nothin' no it ain't nothin but a Heartbreak Town Stardust, well it's a funny thing It can make you cuss It can make you sing And the need to touch it gets hard to explain some days I've seen 'em rise I've seen 'em fall Some get nothin' And Lord some get it all Some just run While others crawl away Hold my hand baby don't let go I've got some front money And I've got a next show And I'm gonna need you Down this yellow brick road 'Cause... CHORUS Town... Heartbreak town... |

Ain't no talkin' to this man
Ain't no pretty other side Ain't no way to understand the stupid words of pride It would take an acrobat and I already tried all that I'm gonna let him fly -mmm Things can move at such a pace The second hand just waved goodbye You know the light has left his face But you can't recall just where or why So there was really nothing to it I just went and cut right through it I said I'm gonna let him fly Oh yeah There's no mercy in a live wire No rest at all in freedom Choices we are givin It's no choice at all The proof is in the fire You touch before it moves away - yeah But you must always know How long to stay and when to go And there ain't no talkin' to this man He's been trying to tell me so It took a while to understand The beauty of just letting go Cause it would take an acrobat n' I already tried all that I'm gonna let him fly - fly whoa I'm gonna let him fly - fly I'm gonna let him fly - fly |
