So in the meantime You'll be resting on my mind For the last time I will leave myself behind In the evening Raise a glass and tell some lies Make a pass, impress another girl, She was easy on the eyes
She was easy And so was I
My reflection In the window when I ride for Chicago She is on the other side Take a picture Write a letter to my love
Well I was almost honest I was almost honest
Been a long time Since I've lay with you in bed Conversations, full of words you never said I got your message But I didn't hear the ringing bell I gave into the loneliness But I didn't give them nothing else
Which direction Down this highway that I ride to Atlanta She is on the other side Take a picture Write a letter to my love
I was almost honest Well, I was almost honest
Yeah, Oh oh oh Hmmmmm
My reflection In the window when I ride Could not save us But I swear to God I tried
Take a picture Write a letter to my love
I was almost honest But I was almost honest Cause I was almost honest
Thinking back to better days and the wrongs and right have faded grey If I told you once you told me twice How the love of both can turn the lies It's so easy to turn my head around But now I've beat the odds Got my feet on solid ground
It's so hard just movin' on And being without you just seems so wrong But time only heals our wounds For me it takes time for you so soon It's so easy to turn my head around But now I've beat the odds Got my feet on solid ground
Falling further from where we used to be All things said and done I needed to be free It's so easy to turn my head and run But now I've beat the odds I'm back on solid ground
(Guitar Break)
I'm better now without you hear I've got a job and my mind is clear From what I hear you want me back But tide has turned and I'm relaxed It's so easy to turn my head around But now I've beat the odds I'm back on solid ground
Falling further from where we used to be All things said and done I needed to be free It's so easy to turn my head and run But now I've beat the odds My feet on solid ground
It's so easy to turn my head and run (I'm landing on solid ground) It's so easy to turn my head and run (I'm landing on solid ground) It's so easy to turn my head and run (I'm landing on solid ground) It's so easy to turn my head and run (I'm landing on solid ground)

Play it takes me where I wanna go I love time we have A name that no one knows The feelin' flows the music takes me there
Chorus Inside I light the fire That burns the best Inside I feel alive So softly blessed
May I feel the air Skin still fair I love the time we have A claim on broken bones of casted stones The music takes me there
Chorus
I feel so blind a world so kind Days are fighting through the light If only... We cannot find a world sublime Things are runnin' through my mind If only...
I feel so blind a world so kind Days are fighting through the light If only... We cannot find a world sublime Things are runnin' through my mind If only...
Everyone waits for a knock on the door Waiting for someone, who knows what it's for Cause we spend a lot of money Feeling bad and looking fine I'll try to sum it up in a few simple lines
Oh darling, life is what you pray for But love is what you stay for And I know it's pretty damn funny how simple it can be But you didn't hear that from me
Everyone says that it's covered in pain Waiting for someone who will take on the blame Oh it takes a lot of courage To know you're not alone The sooner you stand up, the sooner you'll know
Oh baby, life is what you pray for But love is what you stay for And I know it's pretty damn funny how simple it can be But you didn't hear that from me
When I hear you crying at night Like the world is on your shoulders I'll hold you tight Cause I know a secret or two And the least I can do is share it with you
Share it with you Share it baby
Oh, life is what you pray for Love is what you stay for And I know it's pretty damn funny how simple it can be But you didn't hear that from me
Life is what you pray for You didn't hear that from me
Love is what you stay for You didn't hear that from me
Life is what you pray for You didn't hear that from me
Highway ride on a cold dark night And the sign says 20 miles to Georgia 2am coming home again Been too long and I wanna see my momma
Did she ever think she'd hear me say After all the years I've been away I know I'm getting older Did she ever think she'd see the day The day her boys had grown and gone away Does she know she's getting older?
Momma's gonna cook me supper And Georgia's gonna tuck me in This town is gonna make me something special I'm coming home again
Thursday night see the front porch lights Wooden sign says my house in on the market It took me 19 years, took 1000 tears Till I realized I don't belong to Georgia
Did she ever think she'd hear me say After all the years I've been away I know I'm getting older Did she ever think she'd see the day The day her boys had grown and gone away Does she know she's getting older?
Momma's gonna cook me supper And Georgia's gonna tuck me in This town is gonna make me something special
She never saw the world she could never go Or any foreign shores, she would never go She deserves so much more Than she'll ever know She'll ever know oh
Momma's gonna cook me supper Georgia's gonna tuck me in This town is gonna make me something special I'm coming home, I'm coming home again I'm coming home, I'm coming home again I'm coming home, I'm coming home baby I'm coming home, Georgia's gonna tuck me in
I'm driving down the highway Checking the signs Saying 20 miles away from the Georgia state line Check it to the left, pass it on the right Gonna make it home it if takes all night
Driving down the highway Checking the signs Saying 20 miles away from the Georgia state line Check it to the left, pass it on the right Gonna make it home if it takes all night

Sweet, sweet, magenta lips Whispering another lie What I wouldn't do for just one kiss I'd follow her to the edge of life
And I know your shameless heart ain't true And I know every move you make is cruel Your shameless heart ain't true I don't know where to start There's nothing you won't do It's tearing me apart
I could ride her curves to the moon With childlike innocence Oh, I don't care, I'm being used I've fallen in her abyss
And I know your shameless heart ain't true And I know every move you make is cruel Your shameless heart ain't true There's nothing more to say There's nothing left I can do I just can't keep away
Everyone is searching Searching for the truth But all this lonely boy is Searching for is you
I know your shameless heart ain't true And I know every move you make is cruel
You're so shameless
You're shameless heart ain't true I don't know where to start There's nothing you won't do You know it's tearing me apart
Oh you are a contradiction My beautiful addiction The more you get The less you want A dead-on prediction
Was I too easy with the truth? Was I kind when you wanted cruel?
I laid a ray of sunshine down for you to follow I gave you every ounce of my love, but we lost tomorrow Was I too good to you? You were out I brought you in out of the weather You were happy baby, we were getting better and better Was I too good to you, baby? Tell me now was I too good to you?
You are the main attraction A physical reaction And yet, the more you need The less you see Love is a distraction
Was I too easy with the truth? Was I kind when you wanted cruel?
I laid a ray of sunshine down for you to follow I gave you every ounce of my love, but we lost tomorrow Was I too good to you? You were out I brought you in out of the weather You were happy baby, we were getting better and better, Lord Was I too good to you, baby? Tell me now was I too good to you?
Should I have held on Should I have held back Could I have done so much more than that You couldn't receive You wouldn't believe And now I'm just waiting out the days we're not together
I said waiting out the days
Lay a ray of sunshine down for you to follow I gave you every ounce of my love, but we lost tomorrow Was I too good to you? You were out I brought you in out of the weather You were happy baby, we were getting better and better Was I too good to you, baby? Tell me now was I too good to you?
I lay a ray of sunshine down for you to follow I gave you every ounce of my love, but we lost tomorrow Was I too good to you, baby? Tell me now was I too good to you?
All I know is the same old contradictions follow us wherever we go You're beautiful, tell me was I too good to you baby?
Tell me now was I too good to you? You don't know how to feed and protect my love So open up to where you belong girl Tell me, was I, was I too good to you?
