Sugarland

Monday, hard to wake up
Fill my coffee cup, I'm out the door
Yeah, the freeway's standing still today
It's gonna make me late, and thats for sure
I'm running out of gas and out of time
Never gonna make it there by nine

[Chorus:]
There's gotta be something more
Gotta be more than this
I need a little less hard time
I need a little more bliss
I'm gonna take my chances
Taking a chance I might
Find what I'm looking for
There's gotta be something more

Five years and there's no doubt
That I'm burnt out, I've had enough
So now boss man, here's my two weeks
I'll make it short and sweet, so listen up
I could work my life away, but why?
I got things to do before I die

[Repeat Chorus]

Some believe in destiny, and some believe in fate
I believe that happiness is something we create
You best believe that I'm not gonna wait
'Cause there's gotta be something more

I get home 7:30 the house is dirty, but it can wait
Yeah, 'cause right now I need some downtime
To drink some red wine and celebrate
Armageddon could be knocking at my door
But I ain't gonna answer that's for sure.
There's gotta be something!

[Repeat Chorus]

They say in this town, stars stay up all night

Well, I don‘t know, can't see 'em for the glow of the neon lights

An' it's a long way from here to the place where the home fires burn

Well it's two thousand miles and one left turn



Dear Mom and Dad

Please send money, I'm so broke that it ain't funny

Well, I don't need much, just enough to get me through

Please don't worry 'cause I'm all right

See, I'm playin' here at the bar tonight

Well, this time I'm gonna make our dreams come true

Well, I love you more than anything in the world

Love, your baby girl



Black Top, blue sky, big town full of little white lies

Well, everybody's your friend, you can never be sure

They'll promise fancy cars an' diamond rings an' all sorts of shiny things

But, girl, you'll remember what your knees are for



Dear Mom and Dad

Please send money, I‘m so broke that it ain't funny

Well, I don't need much, just enough to get me through

Please don't worry 'cause I'm all right

See, I'm playin' here at the bar tonight

Well, this time I'm gonna make our dreams come true

Well, I love you more than anything in the world

Love, your baby girl



I know that I‘m on my way

Well, I can tell every time I play

An' I know it's worth all the dues I pay

When I can write to you and say



Dear Mom and Dad

I'll send money, I'm so rich that it ain't funny

Well it ought to be more than enough to get you through

Please don't worry 'cause I'm all right

See, I'm stayin' here at the Ritz tonight

Whaddya know, we made our dreams come true



An' there are fancy cars an' diamond rings

But you know that they don't mean a thing

Well, they all add up to nothin' compared to you

Well, remember me in ribbons an' curls

I still love you more than anything in the world

Love, your baby girl, ah yeah



(Your baby girl)

Dear Mom and Dad

Please send money, I'm so broke that it ain't funny

Don't need much, just enough to get me through

(Your baby girl)

Please don't worry

cause I'm all right

Playin' here at the bar tonight

(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

Dreams come true

I was born in the heart of a hurricane season
In the house where my mamma was raised
That old September wind feels just like a long lost friend
And I

I want to run through those cottonwood trees
Fall asleep in a big bed of fresh fallen leaves
And in every wind that blows there's a song of letting go
It's not good-bye, it's hello

When we met underneath the blue skies of summer
And those summer skies turn into fall
That sweet September wind made us so much more than friends
One Night

And we ran through those cottonwood trees
We made love in a big bed of fresh fallen leaves
And in every wind that blows there's an innocence that knows
It's not good-bye, it's hello

In the moment that one thing ends
Is the same time that one begins
And return as we must
We are ashes to dust, amen.

When the days of my youth have all faded
And the memories are all that remain
Let that old September wind take me back to where I've been
So I

I can run through those cottonwood trees
And remember the smell of those fresh fallen leaves
Now in every wind that blows there's a part of me that knows
It's not good-bye, it's hello

It ain't often I take time
To answer calls on the request line
But this one says we're his best last chance
So all you people in radio land
Turn it up loud, loud as you can
Help to carry these words from a desperate man

Do you believe in love
And that we were meant to be
Two words can free us
So repeat them after me
'I do' from a boy in love
To a girl called Tennessee

It's always scary when you find true love
It hits like lightning from high above
And you might only get one chance to say

Do you believe in love
And that we were meant to be
Two words can free us
So repeat them after me
'I do' from a boy in love
To a girl called Tennessee

He got scared and let her slip away
Now he knows he's not afraid
I put him on the air
In case she's listening somewhere

So take it to heart
Keep it in mind
Try to reach out through the telephone line
Caller, you're on the air
Say it so she hears

Do you believe in love
And that we were meant to be
Two words can free us
So repeat them after me
'I do' from a boy in love
To a girl called Tennessee

From a boy in love
To a girl called Tennessee
Tennessee

i got miles of trouble spreadin far & wide
bills on the table, gettin higher and higher
they just keep on coming
there aint no end in sight
im just holdin on tight

i got someone who loves me, more than words can say
and im thankful for that each & everyday
and if i count all my blessings
i get a smile on my face
still its hard to find faith

*but if you can look in my eyes
and tell me we'll be alright
if you promise never to leave
you just might make me believe

its just day to day
trying to make ends meet
what i'd give for an address out on easy street
i need a deep margarita to help me unwind
leave my troubles behind

*but if you can look in my eyes
and tell me we'll be alright
if you promise never to leave
you just might make me believe

i used to believe in us
when times got tough
but lately im afraid that
even love is not enoughhh

woooaahhh ohhh.

*but if you can look in my eyes
and tell me we'll be alright
if you promise never to leave
you just might make me
oh you just might make me
you just might make me believe

"Down In Mississippi (Up To No Good)"

Friday, payday, Lordy got to get away
Had it with the wife thing, living on a shoe string
What's a poor girl got to do just to have some fun?
All these years without any help
Guess what, honey, clothes just don't wash themselves!
Neither do dishes, neither does the bathroom floor

So, now if anyone asks, not that they would
I'll be down in Mississippi and up to no good

No more, what a bore, had enough, I'm out the door
Headed for a breakdown, had it with the small town
Gonna call Lisa, gonna call Carla Sue
Now we're gonna let it roll, gonna let it rip
Gonna get us a nice room down on the strip
Not that we'll need it, there won't be any sleepin' tonight

So, now if anyone asks, not that they would
We'll be down in Mississippi and up to no good

Hammer down, here we go
Runnin' for the riverboat
All you're gonna see is asses and elbows
Luck's about to change for these three queens
Tired of getting' jokers, deal us up kings

Snake eyes, roll the dice, double down and hit me twice
Cashin' in the big chips, gonna leave a big tip
Hotter than a two dollar pistol, baby, I'm on fire

So, now if anyone asks, not that they would
I'll be down in Mississippi and up to no good
If anyone asks, not that they would
I'll be down in Mississippi and up to no good

Oh I swear this town gets smaller everyday,
And I'm waiting for my chance.
I'm gonna break away.
I'm so sick and tired of being told what's good for me.
People got lots of ideas, of who I'm supposed to be.

[Chorus]
Angel carry me, oh so far away.
May my body never, touch the ground.
And If I promise you that I'll be back someday,
Will you set me free so I can fly away?

Fly away, fly away

Well most folks here well they don't dig too deep.
They can't dream too big
Cause they've got fields to keep
I could walk away and leave my family.
Or get buried alive in this legacy.

[Chorus]

I want to sleep under a different piece of sky
I want to live a little bit before I die
I want to be so close to heaven I see angels

[Chorus]

Fly away fly away

[1st Verse]

We drove all night to get to Corpus Christi
My parents slept right through
They never missed me
We were far from sleepin'
When the truth began to creep in
That we weren't goin' home anytime soon

[2nd Verse]

The mornin' light sure took us by surprise
We grabbed our clothes
Watched a beautiful sunrise
We were one together
And we must have talked forever
And it was then and there I realized that

[Chorus]

(And) I don't want to wait even one more night
It's hard to slow it down when it feels so right
Knees buckled, white knuckled
We're holdin' on tight (holdin' on tight)
(We're) travelin' at twice the speed of life
(Yea, yea, yeah yeah)

[3rd Verse]

We worked our way through college waitin' tables
Bought a little white house with a picket fence and cable
I asked if he was ready
To become a Mom and Daddy
And then I found my answer in his eyes
And he said...

[Repeat Chorus]

[Bridge]

Now, our oldest girl is almost grown
She's got a boyfriend of her own
I heard her sneakin' out with him last night
And if she's anything like me
She's desperate to be wild and free
We know now it's just a matter of time
'Til she says...

[Chorus Out]

<i>[1st Verse]</i>

Well, it's two miles East to West
Only four miles North to South
And when you pass the only red light
You will see the pastor's house
People look you in the eye
And they smile at you and wave
Yeah, they always take the time
To stop and ask you, 'How's your day?'
It's hard to say goodbye
'Cause baby, it's a good life

<i>[2nd Verse]</i>

At the high school football game
Is where I got my first kiss
I still feel the butterflies
I still taste it on my lips
And when we lost our Uncle Jake
Back in 1983
We heard Daddy upstairs weepin'
So we cried ourselves to sleep
It's hard to say goodbye
'Cause baby, it's a good life

<i>[Chorus]</i>

Goodbye to mem'ries that I saved
Goodbye to all the friends I made
Goodbye to all the home I'll ever know
Small town Jericho...(goodbye)

<i>[Bridge]</i>

And every road here looks the same
This ol' town won't ever change
And that's what I love the most
And it's the reason I must go

<i>[3rd Verse]</i>

I put boxes on the porch
Daddy puts them in the car
Best to get the loadin' done
Won't be easy in the dark
'Cause I'm leavin' after midnight
And if anyone asks why
I wanna wait 'til Mama's sleepin'
'Cause I can't bear to see her cry
It's hard to say goodbye
'Cause baby, it's a good life

<i>[Repeat Chorus]</i>

i was on a fast curve
lost my nerve
on a dead end road
i was goin nowhere faster
than two legs can go
i never thought i'd slow down
i'm glad i finally know now

thats life
if you open up your eyes
you'll find
it gets better all the
time, time, time
time, time, time

i never really noticed
when me moved in next to me
sometimes it's amazing just how blind
a girl can be
if i weren't busy runnin
i might have seen it comin

thats life
if you open up your eyes
you'll find
it gets better all the
time, time, time

runnin im runnin im runnin
out of ways of runnin away
runnin out
runnin im runnin im runnin
out of ways of runnin away
runnin out
runnin im runnin im runnin
out of ways of runnin away
runnin out of
time, time, time

i was cookin dinner
heard a ring at my front door
i opened up and saw him
never felt like that before
the moment that our eyes met
i knew i'd never forget
sometimes the thing you most need
is right there but you cant see

thats life
if you open up your eyes
you'll find
it gets better all the
time, time, time
time, time, time
time, time, time

Go ahead and take your best shot,
Let 'er rip, give it all you've got,
I'm laid out on the floor, but I've been here before,
I may stumble, yeah I might fall,
IM Only human but aren't we all?
I might lose my way, but hear me when I say,

I will stand back up,
You'll know just the moment when I've had enough,
Sometimes I'm afraid, and I don't feel that tough,
But I'll stand back up,

I've been beaten up and bruised,
I've been kicked right off my shoes,
Been down on my knees more times than you'd believe,
When the darkness tries to get me,
There's a light that just won't let me,
It might take my pride, and tears may fill my eyes,
But I'll stand back up,

I've weathered all these storms,
But I just turn them into wind, so I can fly,
What don't kill you makes you stronger,
When I take my last breath,
That's when I'll just give up,

So, go ahead and take your best shot,
Let 'er rip, give it all you've got,
You might win this round but you can't keep me down,

'Cause I'll stand back up,
And you'll know just the moment when I've had enough,
Sometimes I'm afraid and I don't feel that tough,
But I'll stand back up,

You'll know just the moment when I've had enough,
Sometimes I'm afraid and I don't feel that tough,
But I'll stand back up.

Fifteen minutes left to throw me together
For mister right now, not mister forever
Don't know why I even try when I know how it ends
Looking like another: "maybe we could be friends."
I've been leaving it up to fate
It's my life, so it's mine to make

[Chorus]
I ain't settling for just getting by
I've had enough so-so for the rest of my life
Tired of shooting too low, so raise the bar high
Just enough ain't enough this time
I ain't settling for anything less than everything, yeah

With some good red wine and my brand new shoes
Gonna dance up a blue streak around my living room
Take a chance on love and try how it feels
With my heart wide open, now you know I will
Find what it means to be the girl
Change her mind and change her world

[Chorus]

I ain't settling for just getting by
I've had enough so-so for the rest of my life
Tired of shooting too low, so raise the bar high
Just not giving up this time

I ain't settling for just getting by
I've had enough so-so for the rest of my life
Tired of shooting too low, so raise the bar high
I ain't settling, no, no, no, no, no, no

So raise the bar high

There's a place I like to go
Cherry bombs and cherry wine
Just past the Texaco
Down on the county line

Beer cans and cemeteries
Spanish moss on a welcome sign
Catch a buzz, we all get scary
Down on the county line

[Chorus]
Out where your troubles can't find you
Out where you leave them all behind
Out where the moons shines sweetly
Won't you meet me
Down on the county line?

Kettle corn and 4-H fairs
Pink slips and white wall tires
Bet you twenty I'll beat you there
Down on the county line

First love and football wars
French kiss and battle prize
Further then I've been before
Down on the county line

[Chorus]

All the churchyards and white-wash fences
All the widows and teenage brides
They're all searching for redemption
They're all looking for a sign

Down on the county line
(Down on the county line)
Down on the county line
(Down on the county line)
Down on the county line

The best things in life are free
It's been right here all the time
It's everything that's home to me
Down on the county line

[Chorus]

Out where your troubles can't find ya
Out where we have a real good time
Out where the moon shines sweetly
Won't you meet me
Down on the county line?
(Down on the county line)
Down on the county line
(Down on the county line)
Down on the county line

I've packed a cooler and a change of clothes Let's jump and see how far it goes You got mt heart and your daddy's boat We got all night to make it float We could sit on the shore, we could just be friends Or we could jump in (chorus) Whole world could change in a minute Just one kiss could stop this spring We could think it thought But I don't want to, if you don't want to We could keep things just he same Leave here the way we came, with nothing to lose But I don't want to, if you don't want to I got your ring around my neck And a couple of night I don't regret Toy got a dream of a degree And a shirt that smells like me Yeah we both got dreams, we could chase alone Or we could make our own (Chorus) Whole world could change in a minute Just one kiss could stop this spring We could think it thought But I don't want to, if you don't want to We could keep things just he same Leave here the way we came, with nothing to lose But I don't want to, if you don't want to (Bridge) Never waste another day Wonderin' what you threw away Holdin me, holdin you I don't want to, if you don't want to (Refrain) We could keep things just the same Leave here the way we came, with nothing to lose But I don't want to if you don't want to, but I want to I want you

Grew up on a tight rope
Learned to smile even when I was falling down
Daddy had a hard hand, and Mama always had hope
And me and my sister couldn't wait to get out

Fell in love out of college
Good man for a bad year
Visions of sugarplums and boxes of roses
All my girlfriends cried, and I was outta here

[Chorus]
Whoa, whoa, everybody's dreaming big
Whoa, whoa, everybody's just getting by
That's how it goes in every day America
A little town with a great big life

Joey stares at a trophy
Took us all the way to state back in '85
Shining moment and a dusty reminder
He felt so scared, never felt so alive
But now there's toys in the backyard
Daddy's boys; you know how they like to fight
When they sleep, he swears they're angels
He wouldn't trade a day for all those Friday nights

[Chorus]

We can laugh
We can cry
We're all just looking for the reasons why
In a place of dark can we see the light
Either way it'll be alright

[Chorus:Repeat x2]

A little town with a great big life

Cowboys ride into sunsets
The good guy always gets the girl
Cinderella has just fit
The glass slipper that changed her world
We all know the stories
We all know the fairy tales
We all get the glory
Of making it for ourselves

[Chorus]
From the beginning
We're all looking for a happy ending
Every dream of winning
Every love we been in
Right from the beginning
We're looking for a happy ending

We come here with nothing
And take it with us the day we leave
The first and last breath don't matter
It's all the ones that are in between
It's the reason for living
It's the reason the caged bird sings
It's why we sit in the movies
All the way to the closing scene

[Chorus]

And for all the dreams who have come and gone
Who have reached for the stars, who have overcome
You're the hope, you're the wish, you're the truth
Baby, here's the proof
Baby's born in the ghetto
Baby's born with a silver spoon
One tells his mama, "I'll have a dream."
One tells his mama, "I'll walk the moon."

[Chorus: x2]

It's written on our palms, and
It's written on our hearts
It's written in our songs, and
It's written in the stars
Sometimes all we can do
Is stand up tall
When they're standing in line
Just to watch us fall

[Chorus]
Whoa
We can't forget, these are the days
Whoa, don't be afraid
We can't forget, these are the days

Well, we got each other, and that's all we need
From here on out it's just you and me
Two hometown hearts up against the world
That don't stand a chance against this boy and girl
We faced 'em down, fought bigger fights
And I know, babe, we're gonna be alright

[Chorus]

Well, it feels like we're living from pay check to check
And we wake up wondering what might happen next
Yeah, sometimes it feels like we won't make it through
But the hard times pass
Like the good ones do
Baby, wrap your fingers and
Hold on tight
I'll be right here beside you tonight
Baby, climb up here
Watch the city glow
Let's make a wish on the fireworks below
We're making moments that we won't forget
And feeling ones that haven't happened yet

[Chorus]

Whoa
Don't be afraid
We can't forget these are the days

Little Annie Vickers is boarding up windows
And her old dog is stranded on the Silos
Hey there, Annie, don't even think it
So much water and you can't even drink it
Well, maybe by Christmas they'll dig up the roads
Take whatever you can, girl
Leave the rest for the crows
Leave the rest for the crows

Been livin' in Crawford for fifteen years
Nothin' much ever happens 'round here
And no one believed the water would come
Till the sky grew dark and it swallowed the sun
And it rained for forty-two nights and forty-two days
And everything that we loved is floatin' away

[Chorus]
How long till our dreams run dry?
Don't know but we're stayin'
On our knees we raise our eyes
Holdin' on and prayin' to find
One blue sky

Mrs. Wilson sits with an insurance adjuster
Big city boys - she never did trust 'em
Have you been gettin' the letters I'm sendin'?
'Cause the preacher swears that the world is ending
Well, if there's no way out, wish someone would show us
We keep looking around here for some modern day Moses

[Chorus]

Now we're diggin' our heels hard as we can
But the backyard looks like the Rio Grande
And I wonder, will it wash us clean or wash us away?

[Chorus: x2]

One blue sky

Looking for an angel
In these hills
Looking for a map to find
What we left behind
Knowing that we will
Always end up right where we start
'Cause I've got time on my hands
And hope in my heart
We both understand
We weren't meant to be apart

[Chorus]
April showers
Bring May flowers
I have seen rain before
But if Sunday morning
Lets that sun in
What are we waiting for?
'Cause love leaves an open door

If I had one wish
I'd wish for two
One for me, baby
One for you
It would find you
Right where you are
With time on your hands
And hope in your heart
We both understand
We were written in the stars

[Chorus]

It's worth all the cost
Till I find what I lost in your eyes
And you realize

April showers
Bring May flowers
We have seen rain before
But if Sunday morning
Lets that sun in
What are we waiting for?
'Cause love leaves an open...
Wishing and hoping
Love leaves an open door

Mean girls
Well, I ain't a mean girl
But I've known a few
They'll make you cry, baby
And then blame it on you

They'll hate you if you're pretty
They'll hate you if you're not
They'll hate you for what you lack, baby
And they'll hate you for what you got

Mean girls, scratchin' and spittin'
Mean girls can't be forgiven
Mean girls make mean women
Mean girls

It starts on the play ground
Pulling your hair
Then in high school
It gets worse from there
You'll see 'em comin'
They travel in packs
Smile to your face
While stabbing your back

If they ain't out a-prowlin'
Creeping down the hall
You'll find them by the lockers, baby
Sharpening their claws

Mean girls, start 'em young
Mean girls, forked tongue
Mean girls, see 'em and run
Mean girls, mean girls

Sugar and spice
And everything nice
Think she's hot, but she's cold as ice
First comes love, then comes marriage
Then comes her mama with another little wanna-be
Mean girls, full of hate
Mean girls, just can't wait
Mean girls, to take your date
Mean girls make stuff up
Mean girls, just bad luck
Mean girls stink
Mean girls, best friends forever
Mean girls, almost never
Mean girls, whatever
Mean girls, hey, mean girls

I been sittin' here staring
At the clock on the wall
And I been layin here praying
Praying she won't call
It's just another call from home
And you'll get it and be gone
And I'll be crying

And I'll be beggin you baby
Beg you not to leave
But I'll be left here waiting
With my heart on my sleeve
Oh for the next time we'll be here
Seems like a million years
And I think I'm dying

What do I have to do to make you see
She can't love you like me

Why dont you stay
Im down on my knees
Im so tired of being lonely
Don't I give you what you need
When she calls you to go
There is one thing you should know
We dont have to live this way
Baby why dont you stay

You keep telling me baby
There will come a time
When you will leave her arms
And forever be in mine
But I don't think that's the truth
And I don't like being used
And I'm tired of waiting
It's too much pain to have to bare
To love a man you have to share

Why dont you stay
Im down on my knees
Im so tired of being lonely
Don't I give you what you need
When she calls you to go
There is one thing you should know
We dont have to live this way
Baby why dont you stay

I can't take it any longer
But my will is getting stronger
And I think I know just what I have to do
I can't waste another minute
After all that I've put in it
I've given you my best
Why does she get the best of you
So the next time you find
You wanna leave her bed for mine

Why dont you stay
Im up off my knees
Im so tired of being lonely
You cant give me what I need
When she cbegs you not to go
There is one thing you should know
I dont have to live this way
Baby why dont you stay

Yeah yeah oh oh oh oha oh

Warm breeze blowin', long dirt road
First time that I saw him was such a long time ago
I was sixteen goin' on seventeen
Blue bonnet Texas queen fell in love with a rodeo king
Down in Sugarland

Drive in movies, hot summer night
First time that I kissed him
Made the world seem right
I was city bound, couldn't wait to get outta this town
Suddenly everything just changed
Something told me I just might stay
Down in Sugarland

Down in Sugarland
Doin' the best we can
Holdin' hands, stayin' up all night
Swingin' stars from satellites
Down in Sugarland
Doin' the best we can
Fallin' in love again
Down in Sugarland

Corn fields swaying, clothes on the line
Tumbleweed is a turnin' like the hands of time
When I was sixteen going on seventeen
I didn't know much of anything
Livin' the American dream
Down in Sugarland

And I see the small town smile in your eyes
Shining like a diamond in the sky
The sweet sky
Under the sweet sky

Sweet skies of Sugarland
Doin' the best we can
Holdin' hands, stayin' up all night
Swingin' stars from satellites
Down in Sugarland
Doin' the best we can
Fallin' in love again
Down in Sugarland

Whoa, whoa, whoa, Sugarland
Sweet skies of Sugarland
Sugarland
(Sugarland) warm breeze blowin'
Long dirt road
Sugarland

When the weight of the world
Breaks down so strong it
Leaves footprints on the street
And theres too many miles to face
Without a few more hours sleep
The storm clouds overhead won't shed
Any rain to quench your thirst
I wanna be the one you reach for first

When your faith is stretched so thin
That you can see right through your soul
And you cant find a nickel to buy a smile cuz all ur pockets all got holes
You wanna shut the door and
Hide before the day can get much worse
I wanna be the one you reach for first

Fall into me
My arms are opened wide
And you dont have to say a word
Cuz I already see
That it's hard
And you're scared
And you're tired
And it hurts
And I wanna be the one you reach for first

I wanna be the bottle you've been drinkin with your eyes
Or the road you run away on
You've been runnin all your life
The third row pew that you last knew
As a child in church
I wanna be the one you reach for first

Fall into me
My arms are opened wide
And you don't have to say a word
Cuz I already see
That it's hard
And you're scared
And you're tired
And it hurts
And I wanna be the one you reach for first

Before you turn the key
Before you fall asleep
Before you drift away
To find some demons waiting for you
In your dreams
Before your arms stretched wide open
Before you're reaching for the sky
Before you're searching for direction
And all the answers till you fall

Fall into me
My arms are stretched opened wide
You don't have to say a word
Cuz I already see
That its hard
And your scared
And your tired
And it hurts
And i wanna be the one you reach for first

Gotta get a handle on the situation
(Operation, working vacation)
A soul solution for my frustration
(Operation, working vacation)
So, I made myself a little reservation
A one way ticket to liberation
Way overdue by my calculation
Operation: working vacation

Well, this bottle's been working on my concentration
(Operation, working vacation)
The more I drink, the more the waves keep 'a waving
(Operation, working vacation)
The office keeps calling with complications
A big break down in communication
They keep leaving messages I keep erasing

(Chorus:)
Operation, working vacation
Operation, working
You've gotta get out sometime
And let in the big sunshine

So, I made a little space for inspiration
(Operation, working vacation)
Might have to go back to school, post graduation
(Operation, working vacation)
And get my degree in intoxication
Gonna re-define higher education
Maybe i'll inspire a whole generation

(Repeat Chorus)

Operation, working vacation

Sometimes it's a pair of
Old faded denim, I know
Is gonna fit me like an old friend
Or some radio song
You can't help but sing along
Wishing they'd spin it over and over again
Could be the windows down on a Sunday drive
Smell of rain on a summer night
Anything that brings a little more comfort my way
But sometimes
There's those times
It's gotta be you

CHORUS:
I keep telling myself I'm movin' on
But I'm stumblin'
Believing my heart was strong enough
But now I'm wonderin'
But every step I take that leads me away
Just circles back to your door
Wishing I didn't love you anymore

I've tried turning to
The arms of someone new
But I can't seem to fool this fool
I've seen closing times
With every bottle dry
And I've seen days alone in my own room
I've asked God and magazines
Stacks of books and movie screens
Anything to bring a little more comfort my way
But sometimes
There's those times
It's gotta be you

REPEAT CHORUS

Of you, give me more
I've done everything I can to forget
If there is a way I ain't found it yet

I keep telling myself I'm movin' on
Believing my heart was strong
But every step I take that leads me away
Just circles back to your door
Wishing I didn't love you
What I'd give if I could touch you
Wishing I didn't love you anymore

The Salvation Army Band played
And the children drunk lemonade
And the morning lasted all day, all day
And through an open window came
Like Sinatra in a younger day
Pushing the town away, ah

Ah hey ma ma ma
Ah hey ma ma ma hey
Life in a northern town
Ah hey ma ma ma

They sat on the stoney ground
And he took a cigarette out
And everyone else came down to listen
He said in winter 1963
It felt like the world would freeze
With John F. Kennedy
And The Beatles

Ah hey ma ma ma
Ah hey ma ma ma hey
Life in a northern town
Ah hey ma ma ma
Ah hey ma ma ma
Ah hey ma ma ma hey
All the work shut down

The evening had turned to rain
Watch the water roll down the drain
As we followed him down to the station
And though he never would wave goodbye
You could see it written in his eyes
As the train rolled out of sight, bye-bye

Ah hey ma ma ma
Ah hey ma ma ma hey
Life in a northern town
Ah hey ma ma ma
Ah hey ma ma ma
Ah hey ma ma ma hey
Life in a northern town

Ah hey ma ma ma
Ah hey ma ma ma
Ah hey ma ma ma hey
Ah hey ma ma ma
Take it easy on yourself
Ah hey ma ma ma

(Fade)

I miss the sound of your voice
I miss the rush of your skin
I miss the still of the silence
As you breathe out and I breathe in

If I could walk on water
If i could tell you whats next
Make you believe
Make you forget

Come On Get Higher
Loosen my lips
Faith and desire
And the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love

Come On Get Higher
Loosen my lips
Faith and desire
And the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love

I miss the sound of your voice
The loudest thing in my head
And I ache to remember
All the violent, sweet, perfect words that you said

If I could walk on water
If I could tell you whats next
Make you believe
Make you forget

Come on get higher
Loosen my lips
Faith and desire
And the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love

Come on get higher
Loosen my lips
Faith and desire
And the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love

I feel the pull of your heart
I taste the sparks on your tongue
I see angels and devils and god when you come on
Hold on

hold on, hold on, hold on....
(sing shaa la la la laa ouuu)

Come on get higher
Loosen my lips
Faith and desire
And the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love

Come on get higher
Loosen my lips
Faith and desire
And the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me
Drown me in love

It's all wrong
It's all wrong
It's all wrong, its so right

Come on get higher
Come on and get higher
Because everything works love
Because everything works in your heart

The windows in New York City
All dressed up with ribbons and smiles
Snow covers the park like a carpet
Bells on white carriages roll by in style.

St. Patrick's cathedral is all lit up
When the doors open wide I can see
All of those candles burning inside
Looks like somebody's birthday party to me.

Snowy night
Catch the light
Shimmer bright
Angels sing
Here below
Children know
Faces glow
Bells they ring
Through a city of silver dreams

They hung a star over 5th Avenue
Like a beacon that's calling you home
With our gifts we come looking for comfort
May we find in each other we're not so alone

Snowy night
Catch the light
Shinning bright
Angels sing
Here below
Children know
Faces glow
Bells they ring
Through a city of silver dreams

Its like this whole town has swallowed some magic
With a taxi horns singing away
They say that this city will change you
But it ain't me that's been changing
from what I can tell.

Snowy night
Catch the light
Shinning bright
Angels sing
Here below
Children know
Faces glow
Bells they ring
Through a city
Through a city so pretty
In this city of silver dreams.

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland.

Gone away is the bluebird,
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song,
As we go along,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman,
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown

He'll say "Are you married?"
We'll say "No man,"
But you can do the job
When you're in town.

Later on, we'll conspire,
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid,
The plans that we've made,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

Play it snowbirds, hey!

In the meadow we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman,
Until the other kiddies knock him down.

When it snows, ain't it thrilling,
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,
Rockin' on our way to Sugarland.
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Walking in a water wonderland.
Walking in a,
Walking in a winter wonderland

Have a holly jolly Christmas
It's the best time of the year
Well, I don't know if there'll be snow
But have a cup of cheer

Have a holly jolly Christmas
And when you walk down the street
Say hello to friends you know
And everyone you meet

Hey ho, the mistletoe
Hung where you can see
Somebody waits for you
Kiss her once for me

Have a holly jolly Christmas
(Sleigh bells ring are you listening)
It's the best time of year
(In the lane snow is glistening)
I don't know, if there'll be snow
(a beautiful sight)
But have a cup of cheer
(Walkin' in a winter wonderland)

Have a holly jolly Christmas
(Gone away is the blue bird)
And when you walk down the street
(Here to stay is the new bird)
Say hello to friends you know
(He sings a love song)
And hi to everybody that you meet
(Walkin' in a winter wonderland)

Hey ho, the mistletoe
(In the meadow we can build a snowman)
Hung where you can see
(And pretend that he is Parson Brown)
Somebody waits for you
(He'll say are you married, we'll say "No man,"
Kiss her once for me
(But you can do the job while you're in town)

Have a holly jolly Christmas
(Later on we'll conspire)
And in case you did not hear
(As we dream by the fire)
Oh by-golly have a holly jolly Christmas this year
(To face unafraid, walkin' in a winter wonderland)
Oh by-golly have a holly jolly Christmas this year

Well hello,
It's been a long time, and I wanna know
What's been goin' down
Since I been gone
And are you alright?
Are you ok?
Me, I'm alright.

But is there any way, that you could
Make space, say grace, set my place
At the table
And tell 'em I'm comin' home
Tell 'em I'm comin' home

Yes, I know
I know she loves me, if she were a soal
And I know just what she'll say
Each time I call
She'll say,
Are you alright?
How's your work?
Are you alright?
How's my girl?

And I'll say, I'm feelin' strong
But it's been too long
So I wrote this song, to say I miss you
And tell you I'm comin' home
Momma, I'm comin' home

Angels are high at the top of a tree
Stars in the sky, shine away
I can see
Oh Momma, please leave a light on for me
I'm comin' home
(I'm comin' home)
Tell 'em I'm comin' home
(I'm comin' home)
Tell 'em I'm comin' home
(I'm comin' home)
I'm goin' home
(I'm comin' home)
I'm comin' home
Tell 'em I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home

Christmas trees and window panes
Shimmering where tinsel hangs
And the butter light of candlesticks
Chases snowflakes off the bricks

The postman is shivering
With packages he's delivering
Ribbons pulled and try to hide
Wishes waiting warm inside

And everything looks better in gold and green
The lights on the trees shining all through the city
Are the prettiest I've ever seen
And the world decides to sleep safe tonight

The carolers they sing noel
Silent night and silver bells
And all around you snow will fall
Like confetti stars and paper dolls

And everything looks better in gold and green
The lights on the trees in the eyes of our children
Are the prettiest I've ever seen
And the world decides to sleep safe tonight

The first noel
The angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds
In fields where they lay

Everything looks better in gold and green
Everything looks better in gold and green
Everything looks better in gold and green
Everything looks better in gold and green
Everything looks better
Everything looks better

Every Christmas I come back to this town
I come looking through some lost and found
Wondering if you're still hanging around down here

With the holiday they line these streets
Where I once loved you and you once loved me
I'm sorry, it just gets to me

I wonder if I called up your house
If your momma would let you out?

Maybe, baby
I'll see you this Christmas, what do you say
Or maybe, baby
I"ll see you on New Year's Day

I remember your eyes with the snow outside
You said, "This place always looked a little better in white."
I wanna look up and see your face one more time

Feels like the clock stopped ticking the day that I left
I think of you and I still catch my breath
I'm sorry, you just get to me

I wonder if you'll be going out
There's only one party in this town

Maybe, baby
I'll see you this Christmas
I hope and pray
Or maybe, baby
I'll see you on New Year's Day

Baby, it's so strange being back here again
I keep running into all of our old friends
This whole town ringing one more year
I don't wanna let this feeling disappear
I pray that you might be her tonight
And ther you were standing, shining underneath that light

Screaming at the ball on the TV counting down
Streamers and papers piling up on the ground
Baby, did you come here alone?
Are you maybe looking for someone?
To kiss you?
God, I've missed you

Maybe, baby, we didn't get Christmas
But if you stay
Or maybe, baby
We could have New Year's Day
Maybe, maybe, baby
Maybe, maybe

I broke my bat on Johnny's head,
Somebody snitched on me.
I hid a frog in sister's bed,
Somebody snitched on me.
I spilled some ink on Mommy's rug,
I made Tommy eat a bug,
Bought some gum with a penny slug,
Somebody snitched on me.

Oh, I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas
Mommy and Daddy are mad.
I'm getting nuttin' for Christmas
'Cause I ain't been nuttin' but bad.

I put a tack on teacher's chair
Somebody snitched on me.
I tied a knot in Susie's hair
Somebody snitched on me.
I did a dance on Grandma's plants
Climbed a tree and tore my pants
I filled the sugar bowl with ants
And somebody snitched on me.

I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas
Mommy and Daddy are mad.
I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas
'Cause I can't be nuttin' but bad.

I won't be seeing old Santa Claus,
Somebody snitched on me.
He won't come visit me because
Somebody snitched on me.
Next year I'll be going straight,
Next year I'll be good, just you wait
I'd start now, but it's too late,
Somebody snitched on me.

I'm gettin' nuttin', nuttin'
Mommy and Daddy are mad.
I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas
'Cause I can't be nuttin' but bad.

I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas
Mommy and Daddy are mad.
I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas
'Cause I ain't been nuttin' but bad.

'Cause I can't be nuttin' but bad.
'Cause I ain't been nuttin' but bad.

O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appears

Rejoice, rejoice
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel

O come, O come, Thou Dayspring bright
Pour on our souls Thy healing light
Dispel the long night's lingering gloom
And pierce the shadows of the tomb

Rejoice, rejoice
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel
Shall come to thee, O Israel

O come, desire of nations bind
In one the hearts of all mankind
Bid every strife and quarrels cease
And fill the world with Heaven's peace

Rejoice, rejoice
Emmanuel shall come to thee
Rejoice, rejoice
Emmanuel shall come to thee
O Israel

It's Christmas day
And the snow is comin' down
Church bells sway
They're ringin' to wake the town
Preacher Kline recites his lines
The pews will be full today
Mr. Howell cranks up his plow
His blades'll clear the way

It's Christmas day
And the pecan pies are bakin'
Mothers say,
"It's the givin' not the takin'"
My brother's brand new bicycle
Is out janglin' in the street
I watch him through the icicles
With this wood box beneath my feet

[Chorus]
All I got is this little wood guitar
What it brought is neon lights in crowded bars
Like all the Kings with all their gold
Went chasin' down your star, I'm told
Every highway takes me where you are
With this little wood guitar

It's Christmas day
Funny how the years can shape us
Much has changed
I'm a musician, I'm a waitress
Chicago's a winter wonderland
And my brother's and his wife's
Are passin' 'round their dinner plates
And dissecting my life

[Chorus]

I never stopped believin'
I just kept on singin'
Now people come to hear from miles around
And I don't mind confessin'
But I still count my blessin's
I just never thought I'd settle down

It's Christmas day
And the little ones are wakin'
I hear them play
I can hear the presents shakin'
A boy's outside on his new bike
Janglin' in the street
A little girl, she's watchin' him
That wood box beneath her feet

All she got is this little wood guitar
What I thought is it might take her pretty far
Like all the Kings with all their gold
Went chasin' down your star, I'm told
Every highway takes me where you are
With this little wood guitar
Little wood guitar

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Noche de paz, noche de amor,
Todo duerme en derredor.
Entre sus astros que esparcen su luz
Bella anunciando al ni??짹ito Jes??쨘s
Brilla la estrella de paz
Brilla la estrella de paz

Silent night! Holy night!
Sheperds wake at the sight.
Glory stream from Heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Hallelujah
"Christ the Savior is born!"
"Christ the Savior is born!"

"Christ the Savior is born!"
"Christ the Savior is born!"

Missed my alarm clock ringing
Woke up telephone screaming
Boss man singing his same old song

Rolled in late about an hour
No cup of coffee, no shower
Walk of shame with two different shoes on

Now it is poor me, why me, oh me
Boring the same old worn out blah blah story
There is no good explanation for it at all

Ain't no rhyme or reason
No complicated meaning
Ain't no need to over think it
Let go laughing
Life don't go quite like you planned it
We try so hard to understand
Irrefutable, indisputable
The fact is
Psssh
It happens

My trusty rusty had a flat
I borrowed my neighbor's Cadillac
I'll be right back
Goin' down to Wally World

That yellow light turned red to quickly
Knew that truck the moment it hit me
Out stepped my ex and his new girl
"Sorry 'bout your neck baby"

But it is poor me, why me, oh me
Boring the same old worn out blah blah story
There is no good explanation for it at all

Ain't no rhyme or reason
No complicated meaning
Ain't no need to over think it
Let go laughing

Life don't go quite like you planned it
We try so hard to understand
Irrefutable, indisputable

Life don't go quite like you planned it
We try so hard to understand
Irrefutable, indisputable
The fact is

Yeah, the irrefutable, indisputable
Absoluteable, totally beautiful
Fact is psssh it happens

I don't wanna get up, baby, let's turn off the phone
I don't wanna go to work today or even put my makeup on
I got better things to do than my to-do list, anyway
Hide under the covers and waste away the day
Let's just lay here and be lazy, baby, drive me crazy
All I want to do
All I want to do is love you
I got my whole life to change the world and climb the ladders
Lookin' at you lookin' at me is the only thing that matters
Come a little closer, baby, we can talk without the words
Hang a sign on the door, please do not disturb
Let's just lay here and be lazy, baby, drive me crazy
All I want to do
All I want to do is love you
Give me a kiss from that Elvis lip
You don't want to miss this
All I want to do
All I want to do is love you
All I really want to do is
All I really want to do is
All I really want to do is love you, and love you, and love you
Come a little closer, baby, we can talk without the words
Hang a sign on the door, please do not
Please do not
Please do not
Please do not disturb
When I lay down in the evening all I really want to do
When I wake up
When I wake up in the morning, baby, all I really want to do is

Missed my alarm clock ringing
Woke up telephone screaming

Snake oil and roses, pockets of dirt
Hand of a fortune teller's song
Young love shaking the earth
Like a heart shot out of a gun

Lips like gravity, pull me under
Reckless weather on his breath
Smells like rain, hits like thunder
A storm is coming, I've got nothing left
So we run, yeah yeah yeah we run
Come undone like a string on a sweater
That you pull but you know better
But doing what you shouldn't's half the fun
so we run

Fire and laughter, fence posts flying
Feel the fever in the air
Can't remember what came before him
And what comes after I don't care

Hands are trembling, I swore I wouldn't
One more look and I'll give in
A hundred reasons why I shouldn't
But I lost my heart in wanting him to win

So we run, yeah yeah yeah we run
Come undone like a string on a sweater
Old enough and should know better
But doing what you shouldn't's half the fun
So we run, na na na na....

I hear the leather on his voice
It's a calling not a choice and I can't keep myself from following the sound
Yeah, you may never know how fast that you can go
Til someone lifts your feet up off the ground

So we run, yeah yeah yeah we run
Come undone, yeah yeah yeah undone
So we run, yeah yeah yeah we run
So we run, yeah yeah yea we run
Na, na na na....

What if I said yes?
What if I'd gone out that night?
What if you turned left, and everything would of turned out alright.
What if I spoke up?
What if I took the keys?
What if I had of tried a little harder, instead of always trying to please.

[Chorus]

Joey, I'm so sorry.
Oh can you hear me?
Joey, I'm so sorry.

What if I said no?
What if we never fell in love?
What if we'd gone slow, or a little bit faster and broken up.
Would I know this hurt?
Would I feel this pain?
Do you know that with all I have left in my very last breath I will call your name?

[Chorus]

Joey, I'm so sorry.
Oh can you hear me?
Joey, I'm so sorry.

Were you sad, were you scared, did you whisper a prayer to be free?
Was it quiet and cold was it light or too dark to see?
And did you reach for me?

Joey, I'm so sorry.
Ohoh can you hear me?
Joey, I'm so sorry.
Ohohoh can you hear me?
Joey, I'm sooooooooo- Joey, I'm soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry.

Is it the face of a child
Is it the thrill of danger
Is it the kindness we see in the eyes of a stranger
Is it more than faith
Is it more than hope
Is it waiting for us at the end of our rope

I say it's love
I say it's love

Is it the one you call home
Is it the Holy Land
Is it standing right here holding your hand
Is it just like the movies
Is it rice and white lace
Is it the feeling I get when I wake to your face

I say it's love
I say it's love

Is it the first summer storm
Is it the colors of fall
Is it having so little
And yet having it all
Is it one in a millionIs it a chance to belong
Is it standing right here singing this song

I say it's love
I say it's love
I say it's love
I say it's love
I say it's love
I say it's love
I say it's love
I say it's love

Is it a veil or a cross
Is it the poet's gift
Is it the face that has launched over thousands of ships

Is it making you laugh
Is it letting you cry
Is it where we believe that we go when we die
Is it how you were made
Is it your mother's ghost
Is it the wish that I'm wishing for your life, for your life, for your life the most

My heart's grown cold. There's not much left.
My blood won't turn. And I can see my breathe.
She walks above the angels room.
Catch the snow, feels like winter.
I'd do anything to just be with her.

Well the world won't turn. The world won't turn.
The frames won't break. And the letter's won't burn.
The whole thing seemed like Einsteins dreams.
See the smoke, start to shiver.
I'd do anything to just forget her.

She's my Genevieve. She's my lazy river.
She's my only love. She's my favorite sinner, Genevieve.
Woo-ho Genevieve.

Sometimes I see her. A cold chill of fever.
So easy to believe her.

She's my Genevieve. She's my lazy river. (Genevieve)
She's my only love. She's my favorite sinner, Genevieve. (sinner)
Wo-ho...

She's my Genevieve. She's my lazy river.
She's my only love. She's my favorite sinner, Genevieve.
Woo-ho Genevieve.

My mama mapped out the road she knows
Which hands you shake, which hands you hold
And my hand-me-down Mercury ready to roll
She knew that I had to go
And hang out, make lots of noise
And lay out late with a boy
Making mistakes that she made cause she knew all along

I was already gone
I was already gone
I was already gone
Life is a runaway train you can't wait to jump on

They say the first time won't ever last
But that didn't stop me the first time he laughed
All my friends tried to warn me the day that we met
Girl, don't you lose your heart yet
But his dark eyes dared me with danger
And sparks flied like flame to a paper
Fire in his touch burning me up
But still I held on

Cause I was already gone
I was already gone
I was already gone
Life is a runaway train you can't wait to jump on

Last time I saw we packed up my things
And he smiled like the first time he told me his name
And we cried with eachother
We split the blame for the parts that we couldn't change
Pictures, dishes, and socks
It's our whole life down to one box
There he was waving goodbye on the front porch alone

But I was already gone
I was already gone
I was already gone
I was already gone
I was already gone

Hang out, make lots of noise
And lay out late with a boy
Making mistakes that she made
Life is a runaway train

We said goodbye. Tried her hand at magic.
But we couldn't make us disappear.
Not a day goes by I don't wish I had you.
So run away, I'm glad you're still here.
It's a bitter sweet victory.
Lovin' the ghost in front of me.

Now I can't laugh, can't cry.
And I can't run, can't hide.
What do I gotta do?
What do I gotta do to keep you?
What do I gotta do to keep you from doing this to me?

I wrote a couple of notes.
One in love, one in anger.
They're lying there dying in the dresser drawer.
Lived louder than my voice. Struggled through a stranger.
He loved me until I loved you even more.
It's a bitter sweet victory.
Lovin' someone else who wanted me.

Now I can't laugh, can't cry.
And I can't run, can't hide.
You get used to the pain, and numb to the sting
Till you can't feel anything.

You tried to explain, but I couldn't hear it.
As if your words were my tears.
Flowing freely, warm and quiet.
From the edges of my eyes and my ears.
Then all that disappears.

Now I can't laugh, can't cry.
And I can't run, can't hide.
Now I can't laugh, can't cry.
And I can't run, can't hide.

What do I gotta do?
What do I gotta do to keep you?
What do I gotta do to keep you from doing this to me?

Radiator says 95
But I ain't felt a drop of heat all night
Here in this motel
There's no telling me nothin'
I come here 5 nights a week
To clean the toilets and change these sheets
My name's Maggie Duran
Baby ain't that somethin'

Chorus
If you want it
Come and get it
If you want it
Come and get it
You'll understand
You take me as I am

I know these corners
I know these streets
The curbside prophets
They're yelling at me
He saved my soul
For a drink and a dollar
They keep staring at my tattoos
We all live with the scars we choose
They may hurt like hell
But they all make us stronger

Chorus

Slow to trust
But I'm quick to love
Push too hard
And I feel too much
I can't say that I'm perfect
But I promise I'm worth it

Now I'm telling each one of you
Tell me boy what you gonna do
My name's Maggie Duran
Baby ain't that somethin'

Chorus to end

What I'd give to bring you flowers
What I'd give to get you alone
What I'd give to bring a smile across your face
What I'd give to take you home

What I'd give to make you coffee
Find out how you like your eggs
Wrapped around you in the morning
A tangled lace of arms and legs

Chorus:
What I'd give to let you love me
Find out everything that brings you joy
Wake up to your face above me
I'd be that girl and you could be that boy
Find out what that feeling is
Oh, what I'd give

What I'd give to take you dancing
What I'd give to make you mine
If you've got questions, I got answers
And my answer's "yes" to you every time

What I'd give for just one minute
What I'd give to count all the ways
If your heart was dark with nothin' in it
I'd give you mine and take your place

Repeat Chorus

Oooh, what I'd give

One more!
Well I heard Steve Earle had lots of wives,
About as many as cats have lives.
Met him on his records and we're good friends.
He writes a song for everyone.
They fall in love and before it's done,
He writes an even better one when it ends.
Well I don't have to take your name.
And you won't have to take the blame.

(Chorus)
Steve Earle, Steve Earle, please write a song for me.
I promise I won't take a dime when it comes my time to leave.
The others wanted your whole heart, but I just want your sleeve.
Steve Earle, Steve Earle, please write a song for me.

Well I heard he loves each one the same,
As much as Ireland loves the rain.
Steve, it rains at my house everyday.
He met 'em all in every port,
'Cause falling in love is a pilgrim sport.
And as long as I can be the pirate, I'm ok!
You moved to the city. Baby, you had to go.
But I love apples and I could learn to love the snow.

(Chorus)

Come on!
I could walk around in your favorite shoes.
Come on, just one line,
What do you got to lose?
And I don't bruise.

Steve Earle, Steve Earle, please write a song for me.
I promise I won't take a dime when it comes my time to leave.
The others wanted your whole heart, but I just want your sleeve.

(spoken)
And the shirt that goes with it 'cause it smells like you, and you know I like to sleep in that in the vacation house at the
beach and a really small wedding, only 'bout 300 people.
Did I tell you I have kids?
You're gonna love 'em.
They're gonna need to go to college.
Do you like reggae?
I love reggae.
On Tuesday nights, I like to go to trivia, so that's your night to go out with the boys and then you can...
Is this thing on?

Steve Earle, Steve Earle, please write a song for me.

I do!
Yeah!
Fine!
Cool!
Should we come listen then?

Today is my Birthday
And all that I want
Is to dig through this big box of pictures in my Kitchen
Till the daylights gone

This one here is my momma
With the long brown hair
I'm 40 yrs older today than she was in that picture there

But if life stayed it was
And lovers never fell out of love
If memories didn't last so long
If nobody did nobody wrong
If we knew what we had before it was gone
If every road led back home
This would be
The very last country song

These are all my babies
Lord knows how we survived
The first one was hard and last was unplanned
What a big surprise
That him with his daddy's eyes

I loved the man in this one
It's faded but I don't care
There are nights when I wake up and know that he's beside me I swear
Sometimes I still feel him there

But if life stayed it was
And lovers never fell out of love
If memories didn't last so long
If nobody did nobody wrong
If we knew what we had before it was gone
If every road led back home
This would be
The very last country song

If we knew what he had before it was gone
If every road led back home
This would the very last country song

Mmmm better...mmm better...
Absolutely no one that knows me better
No one that can make me feel sooo goooood
How did we stay so long together?
When everybody everybody said we never would
And just when I I start to think they're right
That love has died...

[Chorus]
There you go making my heart beat again
Heart beat again
Heart beat again
There you go making me feel like a kid
Won't you do it and do it one time?
There you go pulling me right back in
Right back in
Right back in
And I know-oo I'm never letting this go-ooo

I'm stuck on you
Whutooo whutooo
Stuck like glue
You and me baby we're stuck like glue
Whutooo whutooo
Stuck like glue
You and me baby we're stuck like glue

Some days I don't feel like trying
Some days you know I wanna just give up
When it doesn't matter who's right fight about it all night
Had enough
You give me that look
"I'm sorry baby let's make up"
You do that thing that makes me laugh
And just like that...

[Chorus]
There you go making my heart beat again
Heart beat again
Heart beat again
There you go making me feel like a kid
Won't you do it and do it one time
There you go pulling me right back in
Right back in
Right back in
And I know-oo I'm never letting this go-ooo

I'm stuck on you
Whutooo whutooo
Stuck like glue
You and me baby we're stuck like glue
Whutooo whutooo
Stuck like glue
You and me baby were stuck like glue


Whutooo Whutoo

You almost stay out too stuck together from the ATL
Whutooo Whutoo


Feeling kinda sick?
Just a spoon full of sugar make it better real quick

I say
Whutooo Whutoo
Whatcha gonna do with that?
Whutooo Whutoo
Come on over here with that
Sugar sticky sweet stuff
Come on give me that stuff
Everybody wants some
Melodies that get stuck

Up in your head
Whutooo whutooo

Up in your head
Whutooo whutooo

Up in your head
Whutooo whutooo

Up in your head
Whutooo whutooo
Whuthoo whutooo
Stuck like glue
You and me together say it's all I wanna do
I said

[Chorus]
There you go making my heart beat again
Heart beat again
Heart beat again
There you go making me feel like a kid
Won't you do it and do it one time
There you go pulling me right back in
Right back in
Right back in
And I know-oo I'm never letting this go-ooo

There you go making my heart beat again
Heart beat again
Heart beat again
There you go making me feel like a kid
Won't you do it and do it one time
There you go pulling me right back in
Right back in
Right back in
And I know-oo I'm never letting this go-ooo
I'm stuck on you

Whutooo whutooo
Stuck like glue
You and me baby we're stuck like glue
Whutooo whutooo
Stuck like glue
You and me baby were stuck like glue
Whutooo whutooo
Stuck like glue
You and me baby we're stuck like glue
