Garth Brooks

This is how it seems to me
Life is only therapy
Real expensive
And no guarantee
So I lie here on the couch
With my heart hanging out
Frozen solid with fear
Like a rock in the ground.

You move me
You give me courage I didn't know I had
You move me
I can't go with you and stay where I am
So you move me.

This is how love was to me
I could look and not see
Going through the emotions
Not knowin what they mean
And it scared me so much
That I just wouldn't budge
I might have stayed there forever
If not for your touch

Oh but you move me
Out of myself and into the fire
You move me
Now I'm burning with love and with hope and desire
How you move me.

You go whistling in the dark
Making light of it
Making light of it
And I follow with my heart
Laughing all the way

Cause you move me
You get me dancing and you make me sing
You move me
Now I'm taking delight in every little thing
You move me.

How do I love you
Well let me see
I love you like a lyric loves a melody
baby, completely wrapped up in you.

How do I need you
Well can't you tell
I need you like a penny needs a wishing well
baby, completely wrapped up in you.

Every now and then
When the world that we're livin in's crazy
You gladly hold me and carry me through
No one in the world's ever done what you did for me
And I'd be sad and lonely if there were no you

How do I love you
Well count the ways
There ain't no number high enough to end this phrase
baby, completely wrapped up in you.

bah bah bah ba ba ba bahhh
bahh ba ba ba ba bahhh
bah bah bah ba ba ba bahhh
bahh ba ba ba ba bahhh

Every now and then
When the world that were livin in's crazy
You gladly hold me and carry me through
No one in the world's ever done what you do for me
And I'd be sad and lonely if there were no you

How do I love you (baby don't you know?)
Well don't you know
I love you bout as deep as any love can grow
baby, completely wrapped up in you.
baby, completely wrapped up in you.

January's always bitter,
but Lord this one beats all
The wind ain't quit for weeks now,
and the drifts are ten feet tall
I been all night drivin' heifers
closer in to lower ground
Then I spent the mornin' thinkin'
'bout the ones the wolves pulled down.

Charlie Barton and his family
stopped today to say goodbye
He said the bank was takin' over,
the last few years were just too dry
And I promised that I'd visit,
when they found a place in town
Then I spent a long time thinkin'
'bout the ones the wolves pulled down.

Bridge:
Lord, please shine a light of hope
on those of us who fall behind.
And when we stumble in the snow,
could you help us up, while there's still time?

Well, I don't mean to be complainin' Lord,
you've always seen me through
And I know you got your reasons
for each and every thing you do
But tonight outside my window,
there's a lonesome mournful sound
And I just can't keep from thinkin'
'bout the ones the wolves pulled down.

Oh Lord, keep me from bein'
the one the wolves pull down.

From a phone booth in Cheyenne
I made a promise to Diane
No more rodeos
I'd gone my last go 'round

The same promise that I made
In San Antone and Santa Fe
But tonight I saddled up
And let her down

Wild horses keep draggin' me away
And I'll lose more than I'm gonna win someday
Wild horses just stay wild
And her heart is all I break
Wild horses keep draggin' me away

She'll watch me drive around her block
Gettin' courage up to stop
To make her one more promise
That I can't keep

The way I love the rodeo
I guess I should let her go
Before I hurt her more
Than she loves me

Wild horses keep draggin' me away
And I'll lose more than I'm gonna win someday
Wild horses just stay wild
And her heart is all I break
Wild horses keep draggin' me away

From a phone booth in Cheyenne
I made a promise to Diane
No more rodeos
I'd gone my last go 'round

The same promise that I made
In San Antone and Santa Fe
But tonight I saddled up
And let her down

Wild horses keep draggin' me away
And I'll lose more than I'm gonna win someday
Wild horses just stay wild
And her heart is all I break
Wild horses keep draggin' me away

She'll watch me drive around her block
Gettin' courage up to stop
To make her one more promise
That I can't keep

The way I love the rodeo
I guess I should let her go
Before I hurt her more
Than she loves me

Wild horses keep draggin' me away
And I'll lose more than I'm gonna win someday
Wild horses just stay wild
And her heart is all I break
Wild horses keep draggin' me away

Johnny grew up
On the dark side of the law
Livin' in the shadow
Of the light he never saw

Rosie came 'round
In the way that true love does
Just when you're lookin' elsewhere
For the thing that never was

Wild as the wind
Wild as the wind is
Wild as the wind is love

Wild as the wind
Wild as the wind is
Wild as the wind is love

So they team up
And they traveled on thier way
Lookin' for forever
For every yesterday

She brings him hope
In the way that Angels do
Takin' him to heaven
In ways he never knew

Wild as the wind
Wild as the wind is
Wild as the wind is love

Wild as the wind
Wild as the wind is
Wild as the wind is love

Wild as the wind

Every so often
He gets a stray look in his eye
She knows how to hold him
Without ever askin' why

Wild as the wind
Wild as the wind is
Wild as the wind is love

Wild as the wind
Wild as the wind is
Wild as the wind is love

Wild as the wind
Wild as the wind is
Wild as the wind is love

Wild as the wind
Wild as the wind is
Wild as the wind is love

They married on a fancy yacht out on the water
He knew she was young enough to be his daughter
There always questions in the heart of millionaires
Would she make heartfelt promises if the money was not there

And he said, do you love me, baby, do you want me to hold
Or are you just digging for gold
Do you care enough to give me your heart and soul
Or are you just digging for gold

She ran his weary heart through the ringer
And she wore him like the diamond ring around her finger
Well, his advances and affections, she managed to avoid
But, she got the lap of luxury and he got paranoid

And he said, do you love me, baby, do you want me to hold
Or are you just digging for gold
Do you care enough to give me your heart and soul
Or are you just digging for gold, digging for gold

Big house, limousines,
Fine wines, fine cuisines,
Vale and Vegas twice a year,
Trips to Paris on the leer

Black Tuesday when that wall of wealth came crashing down
Bad news day when that little queen had to give back her crown
And he said, hey babe, we can live on love cuz love is worth much more
But he barely got his feelings out, she was half way to the door
And she never even heard him cry

Do you love me, baby, do you want me to hold
Or are you just digging for gold
Do you care enough to give me your heart and soul
Or are you just digging for gold

There's a ship out, on the ocean

At the mercy of the sea

It's been tossed about, lost and broken

Wandering aimlessly

And God somehow you know that ship is me




'Cause there's a lighthouse, in the harbor

Shining faithfully

Pouring its light out, across the water

For this sinking soul to see

That someone out there still believes in me




On a prayer, in a song

I hear your voice and it keeps me hanging on

Raining down, against the wind

I'm reaching out 'til we reach the circle's end

When you come back to me again




There's a moment we all come to

In our own time and our own space

Where all that we've done, we can undo

If our heart's in the right place




On a prayer, in a song

I hear your voice and it keeps me hanging on

Raining down, against the wind

I'm reaching out 'til we reach the circle's end

When you come back to me again

And again I see my yesterday's in front of me

Unfolding like a mystery

You're changing all that is and used to be




On a prayer, in a song

I hear your voice and it keeps me hanging on

Raining down, against the wind

I'm reaching out 'til we reach the circle's end

When you come back to me again




When you come back to me again

This is a song that nobody knows
I couldn't begin to describe how it goes
But it makes me cry or laugh right out loud
It's a song that I sing when there's no one around.
This is the man that nobody sees
He wears my old clothes and he looks just like me
Just one of the boys who gets lost in the crowd.
He's the man that I am when there's no one around.

Its four in the morning
I'm lyin' in bed
A tape of my failures playin inside my head
It's heartaches and hard knocks
And things I don't know
I listen and wonder
Where will it go

This is a glimpse of the child that's within
He' so immature but he's my best friend.
If he could learn how to fly he'd never touch down
He's the kid that I am when there's no one around.
This is the dance I do every day
I let my feet get carried away
I let my soul lead and follow the sound
It's the dance that I dance when there's no one around.

Its four in the morning
I'm lyin' in bed
A tape of my failures playin inside my head
It's heartaches and hard knocks
And things I don't know
I listen and wonder
Where will it go

This is a song that nobody knows
I couldn't begin to describe how it goes
But it makes me cry or laugh right out loud
It's a song that I sing when there's no one around.
It's a song that I sing when there's no one around.

Last time I saw her it was turnin' colder
But that was years ago
Last I heard she had moved to Boulder
But where she's now, I don't know
But there's somethin' 'bout this time of year
That spins my head around
Takes me back, makes me wonder
What she's doin' now

CHORUS
'Cause what she's doin' now is tearin' me apart
Fillin' up my mind and emptying my heart
I can hear her call each time the cold wind blows
And I wonder if she knows...what she's doin' now

Just for laughs, I dialed her old number
But no one knew her name
Hung up the phone, sat there and wondered
If she'd ever done the same
I took a walk in the evenin' wind
To clear my head somehow
But tonight I lie here thinkin'
Wha's she doin' now

CHORUS

This ain't comin' from no prophet
Just an ordinary man
When I close my eyes I see
The way this world shall be
When we all walk hand in hand

When the last child cries for a crust of bread
When the last man dies for just words that he said
When there's shelter over the poorest head
We shall be free

When the last thing we notice is the color of skin
And the first thing we look for is the beauty within
When the skies and the oceans are clean again
Then we shall be free

We shall be free
We shall be free
Stand straight, walk proud
'Cause we shall be free
When we're free to love anyone we choose
When this world's big enough for all different views
When we all can worship from our own kind of pew
Then we shall be free
We shall be free

We shall be free
Have a little faith
Hold out
'Cause we shall be free

And when money talks for the very last time
And nobody walks a step behind
When there's only one race and that's mankind
Then we shall be free

We shall be free
We shall be free
Stand straight, walk proud, have a little faith, hold out
We shall be free

We shall be free
We shall be free
Stand straight, have a little faith

We shall be free

This ain't comin' from no prophet
Just an ordinary man
When I close my eyes I see
The way this world shall be
When we all walk hand in hand

When the last child cries for a crust of bread
When the last man dies for just words that he said
When there's shelter over the poorest head
We shall be free

When the last thing we notice is the color of skin
And the first thing we look for is the beauty within
When the skies and the oceans are clean again
Then we shall be free

We shall be free
We shall be free
Stand straight, walk proud
'Cause we shall be free
When we're free to love anyone we choose
When this world's big enough for all different views
When we all can worship from our own kind of pew
Then we shall be free
We shall be free

We shall be free
Have a little faith
Hold out
'Cause we shall be free

And when money talks for the very last time
And nobody walks a step behind
When there's only one race and that's mankind
Then we shall be free

We shall be free
We shall be free
Stand straight, walk proud, have a little faith, hold
out
We shall be free

We shall be free
We shall be free
Stand straight, have a little faith

We shall be free

The very air that surrounds her
A breath you can't live without
Can't think straight since you found her
What's this creature about

You persue her in mazes
Always one step behind
You'd change the world for her graces
But she keeps changing her mind

It's just the way of the girl, just the way of the girl
It's just the way of the girl, just the way of the girl

Some made it for money
Some made it for love
Some made it for romance
My baby's all the above

It's just the way of the girl, just the way of the girl
(Just the way it is, can't help it)
It's just the way of the girl, just the way of the girl

(repeat twice)

I go out walkin after midnight
Out in the starlight
Just like we used to do
Im always walking after midnight
Searching for you

I walk for miles along the highway
Well thats just my way
Of sayin I love you
I'm always walkin after midnight
Searchin for you

I stop to see a weeping willow
Cryin on his pillow
Maybe hes cryin for me
And as the skies turn gloomy
Night winds whisper to me
I'm lonesome as I can be

I go out walkin after midnight
Out in the moonlight
Just a-hopin you may be
Somewhere a-walkin after midnight
Searching for me

*Repeat last two verses*

I go out walkin after midnight
Searchin for you

She got an unsigned letter from her secret someone
And she fell into the mystery
Words were few and specifically vague
Intrinsic intrigue
But it said everything
When it just read come to me

She's always been that responsible someone
Safe within her simplicity
But all this cloak and dagger is stoking her heart
Stroking her curiosity
Is plain little Jane
Gonna risk everything

Is she gonna strike the match
That'll surely light the flame
Is she carrying a torch for love in vain
Is she gonna break the locks
Take a look inside the box
Knowing that she could release Pandora's shame
Welcome to the game
What's in a name

She must be dreamin as she boards a plane
And flies into her fantasy
A first class ticket to the city of Boston
Is all she knows of her destiny
When she touches down
Will her feet hit the ground

Is she gonna strike the match
That'll surely light the flame
Is she carrying a torch for love in vain
Is the gonna bread the locks
Take a look inside the box
Knowing that she could release Pandora's shame
Welcome to the game
What's in a name

Is our little plain Jane
Gonna risk everything

Yeah.
Is she gonna strike the match
That'll surely light the flame
Is she carrying the torch for love in vain
Is the gonna break the locks
Take a look inside the box
Knowin that she could release Pandora's shame
Oh, welcome to the game
What's in a name

Just the other night a hometown football game
My wife nd I ran into my old high school flame
And as I introduced them the past came back to me
And I couldn't help but think of the way things used to be

She was the one that I'd wanted for all times
And each night I'd spend prayin' that God would make her mine
And if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back then
I'd never ask for anything again

Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers

She wasn't quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams
And I could tell that time had changed me
Inn her eyes too it seemed
We tried to talk about the old days
There wasn't much we could recall
I guess the Lord knows what he's doin' after all

And as she walked away and I looked at my wife
And then and there I thankedd the good Lord
For the gifts in my life

Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
That just because he may not answer doesn't mean he don't care
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers

Some of God's greatest gifts are all too often unanswered...
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers

I was feelin' the blues
I was watchin' the news
When this fella came on the TV
He said I'm tellin' you
That science has proved
That heartaches are healed by the sea.
That got me goin'
Without even knowin'
I packed right up and drove down
Now I'm on a roll
And I swear to my soul
Tonight I'm gonna paint this town.

So bring me two pina coladas
I want one for each hand
Let's set sail with Captain Morgan
And never leave dry land
Troubles, I forgot 'em
I buried them in the sand
So bring me two pina coladas
She said goodbye to her good timin man.
Goodbye!

Oh now I've gotta say
That the wind and the waves
And the moon winkin' down at me
Eases my mind
By leavin' behind
The heartaches that love often brings
Now I've got a smile
That goes on for miles
With no inclination to roam
I've gotta say
That I think I've gotta stay
Cause this is feelin more and more like home

So bring me two pina coladas
I want one for each hand
Let's set sail with Captain Morgan
And never leave dry land
Troubles, I forgot 'em
I buried them in the sand
So bring me two pina coladas
She said goodbye to her good timin man.

Yes, she's my lady luck
Hey, I'm her wild card man
Together we're buildin' up a real hot hand
We live out in the country
Hey, she's my little queen of the South
Yea, we're two of a kind
Workin' on a full house.

She wakes me every mornin'
With a smile and a kiss
Her strong country lovin' is hard to resist
She's my easy lovin' woman
I'm her hard-workin' man, no doubt
Yea, we're two of a kind
Workin' on a full house .

Yea, a pickup truck is her limousine
And her favorite dress is her faded blue jeans
She loves me tender when the goin' gets tough
Somtimes we fight just so we can make up.

Lord I need that little woman
Like the crops need the rain
She's my honeycomb and I'm her sugar cane
We really fit together
If you know what I'm talkin' about
Yea, we're two of a kind
Workin' on a full house.

This time I found a keeper, I made up my mind
Lord the perfect combination is her heart and mine
The sky's the limit, no hill is too steep
We're playin' for fun, but we're playin' for keeps.

So draw the curtain, honey
Turn the lights down low
We'll find some country music on the radio
I'm yours and you're mine
Hey, that's what it's all about
Yea, we're two of a kind
Workin' on a full house.

Lordy, mama, we'll be two of a kind
Workin' on a full house.

She wakes me every mornin'
With a smile and a kiss
Her strong country lovin' is hard to resist
She's my easy lovin' woman
I'm her hard workin' man no doubt
Yea we're two of a kind
Workin' on a full house

Yea a pickup truck is her limousine
And her favorite dress is her faded blue jeans
She loves me tender when the goin' gets tough
Somtimes we fight just so we can make up

Lord I need that little woman
Like the crops need the rain
She's my honeycomb and I'm her sugar cane
We really fit together
If you know what I'm talkin' about
Yea we're two of a kind
Workin' on a full house

This time I found a keeper I made up my mind
Lord the perfect combination is her heart and mine
The sky's the limit no hill is too steep
We're playin' for fun but we're playin' for keeps

So draw the curtain honey
Turn the lights down low
We'll find some country music on the radio
I'm yours and you're mine
Hey that's what it's all about
Yea we're two of a kind
Workin' on a full house

Lordy mama we'll be two of a kind
Workin' on a full house

When the rain's blowin' in your face
and the whole world is on your case,
I would offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love.

Evening shadows and the stars appear
and there is no one to dry your tears,
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love.

I know you haven't made your mind up yet,
but I would never do you wrong.
I've known it from the moment that we met,
There's no doubt in my mind where you belong.

I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue,
I'd go crawling down the avenue.
There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love.

Storms are raging on a rolling sea
and down the highway of regret,
Winds of change are blowing wild and free
but you ain't seen nothing like me yet.

There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for
Make you happy, make your dreams come true
To make you feel my love.

Three thirty in the morning
Not a soul insight
The city's lookin' like a ghost town
On a moonless summer night
Raindrops on the windshield
There's a storm moving in
He's headin' back from somewhere
That he never should have been
And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls

Every light is burnin'
In a house across town
She's pacin' by the telephone
In her faded flannel gown
Askin' for miracle
Hopin' she's not right
Prayin' it's the weather
That's kept him out all night
And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls

The thunder rolls
And the lightnin' strikes
Another love grows cold
On a sleepless night
As the storm blows on
Out of control
Deep in her heart
The thunder rolls

She's waitin' by the window
When he pulls into the drive
She rushes out to hold him
Thankful he's alive
But on the wind and rain
A strange new perfume blows
And the lightnin' flashes in her eyes
And he knows that she knows
And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls

The thunder rolls
And the lightnin' strikes
Another love grows cold
On a sleepless night
As the storm blows on
Out of control
Deep in her heart
The thunder rolls

3rd Verse:
She runs back down the hallway
To the bedroom door
She reaches for the pistol
Kept in the dresser drawer
Tells the lady in the mirror
He won't do this again
Cause tonight will be the last time
She'll wonder where he's been

Three thirty in the morning
Not a soul insight
The city's lookin' like a ghost town
On a moonless summer night
Raindrops on the windshield
There's a storm moving in
He's headin' back from somewhere
That he never should have been
And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls

Every light is burnin'
In a house across town
She's pacin' by the telephone
In her faded flannel gown
Askin' for miracle
Hopin' she's not right
Prayin' it's the weather
That's kept him out all night
And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls

CHORUS
The thunder rolls
And the lightnin' strikes
Another love grows cold
On a sleepless night
As the storm blows on
Out of control
Deep in her heart
The thunder rolls

She's waitin' by the window
When he pulls into the drive
She rushes out to hold him
Thankful he's alive
But on the wind and rain
A strange e new perfume blows
And the lightnin' flashes in her eyes
And he knows that she knows
And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls

CHORUS

You know a dream is like a river
Ever changin' as it flows
And a dreamer's just a vessel
That must follow where it goes
Trying to learn from what's behind you
And never knowing what's in store
Makes each day a constant battle
Just to stay between the shores.. and

I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry

Too many times we stand aside
And let the waters slip away
'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow
Has now become today
So don't you sit upon the shoreline
And say you're satisfied
Choose to chance the rapids
And dare to dance the tide.. yes

I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry

And there's bound to be rough waters
And I know I'll take some falls
But with the good Lord as my captain
I can make it through them all.. yes

I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry

Yes, I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
'Til the river runs dry

You know a dream is like a river
Ever changin' as it flows
And a dreamer's just a vessel
That must follow where it goes
Trying to learn from what's behind you
And never knowing what's in store
Makes each day a constant battle
Just to stay between the shores...and

CHORUS
I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry

Too many times we stand aside
And let the waters slip away
'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow
Has now become today
So don't you sit upon the shoreline
And say you're satisfied
Choose to chance the rapids
And dare to dance the tide...yes

CHORUS

And there's bound to be rough waters
And I know I'll tke soome falls
But wit the good Lord as my captain
I can make it through them all...yes

CHORUS

Yes, I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
'Til the river runs dry

Moonlight on canvas, midnight and wine
Two shadows starting to softly combine
The picture they're painting
Is one of the heart
And to those who have seen it
It's a true work of art

Oh, the red strokes
Passions uncaged
Thundering moments of tenderness rage
Oh, the red strokes
Tempered and strong (Fearlessly drawn)
Burning the night like the dawn

Steam on the window, salt in a kiss
Two hearts have never pounded like this
Inspired by a vision
That they can't command
Erasing the borders
With each brush of a hand

Oh, the red strokes
Passions uncaged
Thundering moments of tenderness rage
Oh, the red strokes
Tempered and strong (Fearlessly drawn)
Burning the night like the dawn

Oh, the blues will be blue and the jealousies green
But when love picks its shade it demands to be seen

Oh, the red strokes
Passions uncaged
Thundering moments of tenderness rage
Oh, the red strokes
Tempered and strong (Fearlessly drawn)
Burning the night like the dawn

Oh, the red strokes
Passions uncaged
Thundering moments of tenderness rage
Oh, the red strokes
Tempered and strong (Fearlessly drawn)
Burning the night like the dawn

Steam on the window, salt in a kiss
Two hearts have never pounded like this

Oh I said a little prayer tonight
Before I came on stage
As I came walkin' past the drivers and the locals on the union wage
I asked the dear Lord up in heaven
Let me treat the music right
Then I prayed that Detroit
Goes wild tonight.

Seven pickers and all our gear in a rental van
Playin' music never sleepin' and workin' on a neon tan
We played The Barn down in Sanford Florida
For Bev Roberts out in Camden Park
We plugged it in up east at Bull Run and the place went dark.

Back when the old stuff was new
Back before the buses and the hard workin' boys in the crew
It was one big party
But the business called it payin' our dues
Back when the old stuff was new.

Oh the stories we could tell
If it weren't for the code of the road
About The Buckboard, Bear Creek, Cowboys, and the Grizzly Rose
You know the weather turned bad in Scottsdale
A tornado nearly stole the show
We just danced in the rain and listened to the thunder roll.

Back when the old stuff was new
Hats off to the K.C. Opry and Ella Guru's
It was one big party
Uncle Joe you know we owe it to you
Back when the old stuff was new.

No rules young fools comin' from the old school
Takin' on the world alone
Next date can't wait tearin' up the interstate
Every place we played was home
Balls out no doubt this is what it's all about
Beggin' for a place to play
Swingin' with our old friends
Prayin' that it never ends
Wouldn't trade a single day.

Back when the old stuff was new
Back before the buses and the hard workin' boys in the crew
It was one big party
But the paper's called it payin' our dues
Back when the old stuff was new.

Hey it's still one big party
You can call it whatever you choose
You make me feel like the old stuff is new

He's got a split finger wrap
And his rope's pulled way to tight
He's got a lunatic smile
'Cause he's really drawn deep tonight.

He's got a fever, fever, fever, fever
Grab a hold of anything and hold on tight >br> It hits you like the
venom from a rattle snake bite
We're all here 'cause he's not all there tonight.

He takes one breath
And time turns inside out
Then the gate busts open to the world he dreams about.

He's got a fever, fever, fever, fever
Stick a rope on anything 'cause he don't care
He'd even take a ride on the electric chair
We're all here cause he's not all there tonight.

He says it's really kind of simple
Keep your mind in the middle
While your butt spins 'round and 'round
Take heed to Sankey's preachin'
Keep liftin' and reachin'
And ridin' like there ain't no clowns.

What he loves might kill him
But he's got no choice
He's a different breed
With a voice down deep inside
That's screamin' he was born to ride.

He's got a fever, fever, fever, fever
Fever makes you crazy 'cause it makes no sense
Like runnin' from your shadow out of self-defense
He won't run and baby he can't hide
He thinks the odds are even leavin' one hand tied
He gets so tired of hangin' on so tight
I know you think he's crazy well I think you're right
We're all here 'cause he's not all there that's right.

He's got a split finger wrap
And his rope's pulled way to tight
He's got a lunatic smile
'Cause he's really drawn deep tonight

He's got a fever, fever, fever, fever

I know you think he's crazy well I think you're right
We're all here 'cause he's not all there that's right

Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared 'neath the stars alone
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I a king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey who's to say you know I might have chanced it all

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance

Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared 'neath the stars above
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye

*And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I the king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey who's to say you know I might have changed it all

*Repeat

It's my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance

Pushin' horns weren't easy like the movie said it was
And I don't recall no dance hall girls or hotel rooms with rugs
You worked hot and tired and nasty, rode your pony's head too low
And there were all the nights you couldn't sleep, 'cause it was too damn cold

And you'd sing Strawberry Roan and Little Joe

Like the time we hit the river, and the rains began to fall
And the water was risin' so damn fast, we thought it'd drown us all
We lost a lot of steers that day, and four to five good mounts
But when all the boys rode into camp, we knew that's what counts

And we sang, Yippie Ti Yi Yay and Amazing Grace

Or the night they broke behind us, and then took us by surprise
I whistled out to Bonner, I seen the terror in his eyes
And he rode for all his horse would ride, and I know he done his best
But he crossed over Jordan, ridin' Dunny to his death

And we sang, Bringing In The Sheaves and The Rugged Cross

So when you see the cowboy, he's not ragged by his choice
He never meant to bow them legs, or put that gravel in his voice
He's just chasin' what he really loves, and what's burnin' in his soul
Wishin' to God that he'd been born a hundred years ago

Still singin', Strawberry Roan and Little Joe

One hand
Reaches out
And pulls a lost soul from harm
While a thousand more go unspoken for
They say what good have you done
By saving just this one
It's like whispering a prayer
In the fury of a storm.

*And I hear them saying you'll never change things and no matter
what you do it's still the same thing
But it's not the world that I am changing I do this so this
world will know that it will not change me.

This heart
Still believes
The love and mercy still exist.
While all the hatred rage and so many say
That love is all but pointless in madness such as this
It's like trying to stop a fire
With the moisture from a kiss.

*Repeat

As long as one heart still holds on
Then hope is never really gone.

*Repeat

What I do is so
This world will know
That it will not change me

They packed up all his buckles
And shipped his saddle to his dad
And by the way the house looked
She must have took it bad
The workers come on Monday
To fix the door and patch the wall
They say she just went crazy
The night she got the call

He was up in Wyoming
And drew a bull no man could ride
He promised her he'd turn out
Well it turned out that he lied
And their dreams that they'd been livin'
In the California sand
Died right there beside him in Cheyenne

They she just went crazy
Screamin' out his name
She ran out into the ocean
And to this day they claim
That if you go down by the water
You'll see her footprints in the sand
'Cause every night she walks the beaches of Cheyenne

They never found her body
Just her diary by her bed
It told about the fight they had
And the words that she had said
When he told her he was ridin'
She said then I don't give a damn
If you never come back from Cheyenne

They she just went crazy
Screamin' out his name
She ran out into the ocean
And to this day they claim
That you can go down by the water
And see her footprints in the sand
'Cause every night she walks the beaches of Cheyenne

Nobody can explain it
Some say she's still alive
They even claim they've seen her
On the shoreline late at night
So if you go down by the water
You'll see her footprints in the sand
'Cause every night she walks the beaches of Cheyenne

Every night she walks the beaches of Cheyenne

They packed up all his buckles
And shipped his saddle to his dad
And by the way the house looked
She must have took it bad.

It's only natural with time
Details can somehow slip your mind
Something so sweet, though incomplete
You fill the spaces in-between

It never will be that way again
Maybe it wasn't way back when
But to my heart and soul
This is the way the story has to be told

That's the way (that's the way) I remember it
I remember it that way
From the day I was living there
I remember it that way

Some of our stories fade as we grow older
Some get sweeter every time they're told
That's the way (that's the way) I remember you that way

Guess now if the truth were known
Among diamonds they were stones
To say would be fair, girl, nothing compares
To when I called you all my own

So darling don't ever you think twice
Those were the best days of my life
When I held you there
And I'll tell this story this way, time and again

That's the way (that's the way) I remember it
I remember it that way
From the day I was living there
I remember it that way

I went to work for her that summer
A teenage kid so far from home
She was a lonely widow woman
Hell-bent to make it on her own
We were a thousand miles from nowhere
Wheat fields as far as I could see
Both needing something from each other
Not knowing yet what that might be

'Til she came to me one evening
Hot cup of coffee and a smile
In a dress that I was certain
She hadn't worn in quite a while
There was a difference in her laughter
There was a softness in her eyes
And on the air there was a hunger
Even a boy could recognize

She had a need to feel the thunder
To chase the lightning from the sky
To watch a storm with all its wonder
Written in her lover's eyes
She had to ride the heat of passion
Like a comet burning bright
Rushing headlong in the wind
Now where only dreams have been
Burning both ends of the night

That summer wind was all around me
Nothing between us but the night
When I told her that I'd never
She softly whispered that's alright
And then I watched her hands of leather
Turn to velvet in a touch
There's never been a summer
When I have ever learned so much

We had a need to feel the thunder
To chase the lightning from the sky
To watch a storm with all its wonder
Written in her lover's eyes
She had to ride the heat of passion
Like a comet burning bright
Rushing headlong in the wind
Now where only dreams have been
Burning both ends of the night

I often think about that summer
The sweat, the moonlight and the lace
And I have rarely held another
When I haven't seen her face
And every time I pass a wheat field
And watch it dancing with the wind
Although I know it isn't real
I just can't help but feel
Her hungry arms again

She had a need to feel the thunder
To chase the lightning from the sky
To watch a storm with all its wonder
Written in her lover's eyes
She had to ride the heat of passion
Like a comet burning bright
Rushing headlong in the wind
Now where only dreams have been
Burning both ends of the night

Rushing in long in the wind
Now where only dreams have been
Burnin' both ends of the night

I went to work for her that summer
A teenage kid so far from home
She was a lonely widow woman
Hell-bent to make it on her own
We were a thousand miles from nowhere
Wheat fields as far as I could see
Both needing something from each other
Not knowing yet what that might be

She dropped her boy at school on time
One less worry on her mind
Now it's off to work and on the radio
Come's an old familiar song
And then the D.J.'s voice comes on
And say's he's back in town tonight for one last show.

Her eyes well up with tears
God could it be it's been ten years
Since that Autumn night outside the county fair
When two strangers shared a night
And in the darkness found a light
That to this day is still alive and burning there.

He asked her twice to come along
They said good-bye at the break of dawn
'Cause you can't hold back the wind
If it's meant to be again
Then someday he'll find his way back to her arms.

The marquee misspelled his name
And not too many people came
But that didn't matter to them
They laughed and loved all through the night
And as they faced the morning light
They found themselves standing there again.

And he asked her twice to come along
They said good-bye at the break of dawn
As his bus left out she cried
With him standing by her side
That ol' wind had once again found it's way home.
Someday he'll tell her about the money he hid
And someday she'll tell him that the boy is his kid.
But for right now they're both in love
The only thing they're thinkin' of
Is that they're finally where their hearts have always been.

I've been out on this highway of hearache
Hopin' that somewhere down the line
I could find somebody who
Could rev' me like you do
So grab onto my wheel
And I'll be fine

(chorus)
Take the keys to my heart
And drive me crazy
I've been runnin' on empty way too long
Honey you got the touch
That heats my motor up
Take the keys to my heart
And drive it home

I don't know where this road is gonna' lead us
But what a beautiful night for a drive
Baby put your mind at ease
Drop the top and feel the breeze
Just follow the signs to paradise

(chorus)
Tonight were gonna' set these wheels on fire
And find out just how far this thing will go
Honey we don't need no map
Cause where we are is where its at
Take the keys to my heart
And drive it home

Baby make my motor yearn
I long to feel that rubber burn
Take the keys to my heart
And drive it home
Drive it home

We call them cool
Those hearts that have no scars to show
The ones that never do let go
And risk the tables being turned

We call them fools
Who have to dance within the flame
Who chance the sorrow and the shame
That always comes with getting burned

But you've got to be tough when consumed by desire
'Cause it's not enough just to stand outside the fire

We call them strong
Those who can face this world alone
Who seem to get by on their own
Those who will never take the fall

We call them weak
Who are unable to resist
The slightest chance love might exist
And for that forsake it all

They're so hell-bent on giving ,walking a wire
Convinced it's not living if you stand outside the fire

Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried, it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire

There's this love that is burning
Deep in my soul
Constantly yearning to get out of control
Wanting to fly higher and higher
I can't abide
Standing outside the fire

Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried, it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire

Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried, it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire

We call them cool
Those hearts that have no scars to show
The ones that never do let go
And risk the tables being turned

We call them fools
Who have to dance within the flame
Who chance the sorrow and the shame
That always comes with getting burned

But you've got to be tough when consumed by desire
'Cause it's not enough just to stand outside the fire

We call them strong
Those who can face this world alone
Who seem to get by on their own
Those who will never take the fall

We call them weak
Who are unable to resist
The slightest chance love might exist
And for that forsake it all

They're so hell-bent on giving ,walking a wire
Convinced it's not living if you stand outside the
fire

Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried, it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire

There's this love that is burning
Deep in my soul
Constantly yearning to get out of control
Wanting to fly higher and higher
I can't abide
Standing outside the fire

Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried, it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire

Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried, it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire

Honey I know you got a good job,
Out there making all that dough,
They keep you late working that overtime,
And I don't ever see you no more.

I guess you're not checking your message machine,
Seems like you're never in,
Oh but I got a hunch if we could just do lunch,
I could get your attention again,

Oh I know you got your schedule,
And you're keeping it tight,
You got something going morning, noon, and night,
But I got something here I think you're gonna like,
Honey can you squeeze me in?

Well, who ever said it's a man's world,
Don't know what he's talkin about,
You got me working around the clock,
Honey trying to figure you out.

I know time is money,
But there's more to life honey
Than how much you can spend,
You gotta make a little time for the good times,
Honey can you squeeze me in?

I got it circled in red,
On the calendar baby,
Told me that tonight's the night,
I got the champagne chilled,
Got a gourmet meal,
Soft music and candlelight.

I tried to get you on the phone,
I get stuck on hold,
I guess you keep getting sidetracked.
I've been faxing you love notes all day long,
But you don't ever fax me back.

Well, I know you got your schedule and you're keeping it tight,
You got something going morning, noon, and night,
But I got something I know you're gonna like,
Honey can you squeeze me in?

Well, who ever said its a man's world,
Sure knows what he's takin about,
You got me working around the clock,
Honey trying to figure you out.

I know time is money,
But there's more to life honey
Then how much you can spend,
You gotta make a little time for the good times,
Honey can you squeeze me in?

Well, who ever said its a man's world,
Sure knows what he's talkin about,
You got me where getting around the clock,
Trying to figure you out.

I know time is money,
But there's more to life honey
Then how much you can spend,
You gotta make a little time for the good times,
Honey can u squeeze me in?

Lets make a little time for the good times,
HONEY CAN YOU SQUEEZE ME IN!!!

(Chorus)
She wants something with a ring to it
Like a church bell makes
Like a pretty white gown to wear
And some vows to take
She want's something with a ring to it
I think I understand
Gonna' have to put a ring on her finger
If I'm gonna' be her man

My baby's playin' hard to please
And I think I figured out
What it is she want's from me
Cause when I hold her close
When we go out at night
I can hardly see the moonlight
From the diamonds in her eyes

(Repeat Chorus)
My baby did but now she don't
And if I don't say I do
It's a safe bet that she won't
Love me like she used to
When our love began
Now the only way to change her tune
Is with a wedding band

(Repeat Chorus)

Love was burning like the summer
We were lost in one another
Holding on, holding on
We could not escape the heat
Love was dangerous but sweet
And it was strong

Now you're talking 'bout your freedom
What is that you say
You suddenly declared to me
Your independence day

Caught me by surprise
Fog turning to ice

Well it ain't even cold, baby,
How could it snow in July

Well, you led me to believe that
You found everything you needed
In my arms, for so long
I thought everything was fine
Now you're turning on a dime
And moving on, moving on
Now I should have brought my sweater
For a chill is in the air
There's a sudden change of weather
For which I am not prepared

Caught me by surprise
Fog turning to ice

Well, it ain't even cold, baby
How could it snow in July

Well, I should have brought my sweater
For a chill is in the air
There's a sudden change of weather
For which I am not prepared

Caught me by surprise
Fog turning to ice

Well, it ain't even cold baby
How could it snow in July

He followed her to work this morning
He'd never seen that dress before
She seemed to sail right through
Those dark clouds forming
That he knows he'd headed for

After seven years of marriage
He wanted out
Now after sevon months of freedom
It's clear that there's no doubt

She's gonna to make it
And he never will
He's at the foot of the mountain
And she's over that hill
He's sinkin' at sea
And her sails are filled
She's gonna make it
And he never will

And you know it's not like she's forgot about him
She's just dealing with the pain
And the fact that she's survived so well without him
You know it's driving him insane

And the crazy thing about it
Is she'd take him back
But the fool in him that walked out
Is the fool who just won't ask

She's gonna to make it
And he never will
He's at the foot of the mountain
And she's over that hill
He's sinkin' at sea
And her sails are filled
She's gonna make it
And he never will

She's sun and rain, she's fire and ice
A little crazy but it's nice
And when she gets mad, you best leave her alone
'Cause she'll rage just like a river
Then she'll beg you to forgive her
She's every woman that I've ever known.

She's so New York and then L.A.
And every town along the way
She's every place that I've never been
She's makin love on rainy nights
She's a stroll through Christmas lights
And she's everything I want to do again.

It needs no explanation
'Cause it all makes perfect sense
For when it comes down to temptation
She's on both sides of the fence.

No it needs no explanation
'Cause it all makes perfect sense
When it comes down to temptation
She's on both sides of the fence.

She's anything but typical
She's so unpredictable
Oh but even at her worst she ain't that bad
She's as real as real can be
And she's every fantasy
Lord she's every lover that I've ever had
And she's every lover that I've never had

Well I'm shamemeless when it comes to loving you
I'll do anything you want me to
I'll do anything at all

And I'm standing here for all the world to see
Oh baby, that's what's left of me
Don't have very far to fall

You know now I'm not a man who's ever been
Insecure about the world I've been living in
I don't break easy, I have my pride
But if you need to be satisfied

I'm shameless, oh honey, I don't have a prayer
Every time I see you standin' there
I go down upon my knees

And I'm changing, swore I'd never compromise
Oh, but you convinced me otherwise
I'll do anything you please

You see in all my life I've never found
What I couldn't resist, what I couldn't turn down
I could walk away from anyone I ever knew
But I can't walk away from you

I have never let anything have this much control over me
I work too hard to call my life my own
I have never let anything have this much control over me
I work too hard to call my life my own
And I've made myself a world and it's worked so perfectly
But it's your world now, I can't refuse
I've never had so much to lose
Oh, I'm shameless

You know it should be easy for a man who's strong
To say he's sorry or admit when he's wrong
I've never lost anything I've ever missed
But I've never been in love like this

It's out of my hands

I'm shameless, I don't have the power now
I don't want it anyhow
So I got to let it go

Oh, I'm shameless, shameless as a man can be
You make a total fool of me
I just wanted to you to know

Oh, I'm shameless, I just wanted you to know
Oh, I'm shameless, Oh, I'm down on my knees... shameless

Well I'm shamemeless when it comes to loving you
I'll do anything you want me to
I'll do anything at all

And I'm standing here for all the world to see
Oh baby, that's what's left of me
Don't have very far to fall

You know now I'm not a man who's ever been
Insecure about the world I've been living in
I don't break easy, I have my pride
But if you need to be satisfied

I'm shameless, oh honey, I don't have a prayer
Every time I see you standin' there
I go down upon my knees

And I'm changing, swore I'd never compromise
Oh, but you convinced me otherwise
I'll do anything you please

You see in all my life I've never found
What I couldn't resist, what I couldn't turn down
I could walk away from anyone I ever knew
But I can't walk away from you


I have never let anything have this much control over me
I work too hard to call my life my own
And I've made myself a world and it's worked so perfectly
But it's your world now, I can't refuse
I've never had so much to lose
Oh, I'm shameless

You know it should be easy for a man who's strong
To say he's sorry or admit when he's wrong
I've never lost anything I've ever missed
But I've never been in love like this

It's out of my hands

I'm shameless, I don't have the power now
I don't want it anyhow
So I got to let it go

Oh, I'm shameless, shameless as a man can be
You make a total fool of me
I just wanted to you to know

Oh, I'm shameless, I just wanted you to know
Oh, I'm shameless, Oh, I'm down on my knees...shameless

Well I'm shameless
When it comes to loving you,
I'll do anything you want me to,
I'll do anything at all.

And I'm standing
Here for all the world to see,
Oh, baby that's what's left of me,
I don't have very far to fall.

You know now I'm not a man who's ever been
Insecure about the world I've been living in.
I don't break easy, I have my pride,
But if you need to be satisfied

I'm shameless.
Honey, I don't have a prayer.
Every time I see you standing there
I go down upon my knees.

And I'm changing,
Swore I'd never compromise,
Oh, but you convinced me otherwise.
I'll do anything you please

You see in all my life I've never found
What I couldn't resist, what I couldn't turn down.
I could walk away from anyone I ever knew,
But I can't walk away from you.

I have never let anything have this much control on me.
I've worked too hard to call my life my own.
And I've made myself a world, and it's worked so perfectly,
But it's your world now, I can't refuse,
I've never had so much to lose.
Oh I'm shameless...

You know it should be easy for a man who's strong
To say he's sorry or admit when he's wrong.
I've never lost anything I ever missed,
But I've never been in love like this.
It's out of my hands.

I'm shameless.
I don't have the power now,
And I don't want it anyhow,
So I gotta let it go.

Why I'm shameless.
Shameless as a man can be.
You could make a total fool of me.
I just wanted you to know
Why I'm shameless.
