She'll take the painting in the hallway, The one she did in junior high, And that old lamp up in the attic, She'll need some light to study by, She's had 18 years, To get ready for this day, She should be past the tears, She cries some anyway.
Ohho letting go. Theres nothing in the way now Ohh letting go, Theres room enough to fly, And even though, she's spent her whole time waiting It's never easy, ohh letting go.
Mother sits down at the table, So many things she'd like to do, Spend more time out in the garden, Now she can get those books read too, She's had 18 years, To get ready for this day She should be past the tears, She cries some anyway.
Ohho letting go. Theres nothing in the way now Ohh letting go, Theres room enough to fly, And even though, she's spent her whole time waiting It's never easy, ohh letting go.
Ohho letting go. Theres nothing in the way now Ohh letting go, Theres room enough to fly, And even though, she's spent her whole time waiting It's never easy, ohh letting go....
You've been knocked down, you've been dragged out You've been misled and left for dead in the shadow of doubt Over your shoulder is your only view And all I can say, is don't let yesterday get the best of you.
This is the beginning, this is not the end This is not the time to be lyin' down and finally givin' in This world keeps spinning around and again And this is the beginning this is not the end.
Runnin' leaves you breathless, standin' makes you swoon Fightin' leaves you layin' down And stayin' down and prayin' it's all over soon Who knows what's waiting further on up the track One thing I know is there ain't no road gonna take you back.
Cause this is the beginning, this is not the end This is not the time to be lyin' down and finally givin' in This world keeps spinning around and again And this is the beginning this is not the end.
One day you're flyin', next day you crawl Next day you don't know why You can only fly so high till you begin to fall But sooner or later, you'll go it alone There's only one job and there's Nobody's problems to solve but your own.
Cause this is the beginning, this is not the end This is not the time to be lyin' down and finally givin' in This world keeps spinning around and again And this is the beginning this is not the end.
Put those guitars in their cases Put those cases on the truck Drive that truck on to Memphis Tune those guitars back up.
What we really love is playin' Rollin' never slowin' down But tonight I feel like stayin' I kind of like this little town.
And I'm not ready to pack it up yet If you don't have to go Let's make this a night we'll never forget There's time for one more one more for the road.
Tonight the lights feel like heaven Makes me want to give it all I got That's what I do for a livin' Am I lucky or what.
And I'm not ready to pack it up yet If you don't have to go Let's make this a night we'll never forget There's time for one more one more for the road.
What we really love is playin' Rollin' never slowin' down But tonight I feel like stayin' I kind of like this little town.
And I'm not ready to pack it up yet If you don't have to go I'd like to stay here and pick one with Chet There's time for one more, one more for the road.
We painted a beautiful scene With brown eyes and emerald green The balck of the night and the silver moonlight on you and me But the tears that we're crying each day Had bled all the colors away now all I can see.
Is two shades of blue (now it's over and it's) Poor me and you (all alone and wondering) What will we do (now our love is turning) Two shades of blue.
In our kaleidoscope dream we could have had everything If only our lives would have started the night when we first met But reality pulled us apart now we're dancing Alone in the dark what a sad silhouette.
Is two shades of blue (now it's over and it's) Poor me and you (all alone and wondering) What will we do (now our love is turning) Two shades of blue.
But the tears that we're crying Each day had bled all the colors away Now all I can see is.
Two shades of blue (now it's over and it's) Poor me and you (all alone and wondering) What will we do (now our love is turning) Two shades of blue...
What have I got to do to make you love me What have I got to do to make you care What do I do when lightning strikes me And I wake to find that you're not there.
What have I got to do to make you want me What have I got to do to be heard What do I say when it's all over Sorry, seems to be the hardest word.
It's sad, so sad, it's a sad, sad situation And it's gettin' more and more absurd It's sad, so sad, why can't we talk it over Always seems to me Sorry, seems to be the hardest word.
It's sad, so sad, it's a sad, sad situation And it's gettin' more and more absurd It's sad, so sad, why can't we talk it over Always seems to me Sorry, seems to be the hardest word.
What have I got to do to make you love me Oh, what have I got to do to be heard What do I do when lightning strikes me What have I got to do? What have I got to do Sorry, seems to be the hardest word...
It began, I believe when Adam found Eve He woke up and made her his wife On that very first day she asked in dismay Am I the first girl in your life.
Wives don't like old girlfriends You know that's a fact of life Wives don't like old girlfriends And girlfriends don't like old wives.
Now, if you don't lie I'll bet every guy Has an old flame that he thinks about Wives pretend not to care but to her it's as clear as if you were thinking out loud.
Wives don't like old girlfriends You know that's a fact of life Wives don't like old girlfriends And girlfriends don't like old wives.
Oh, it's an awful sad affair And though it's not goin' anywhere.
Wives don't like old girlfriends You know that's a fact of life Wives don't like old girlfriends And girlfriends don't like old wives.
You know that's a fact of life
And girlfriends don't like You know they don't like 'em And girlfriends don't like old wives...
Forget about it, I'm admittin' I was wrong So, I'll just take my old guitar and walk out the door Forget about it, I'll be gone And you'll have memories you'll find hard to ignore.
'Cause after all I'll see you sometimes maybe When I can't recall how you drove me crazy Forget about it, when forever's over I won't remember how much I love you anymore.
Forget about it, put me out of your head Now that you're free and easy out there on the town Forget about it, when you're lying in your bed Just wishing I was there to lay my body down.
'Cause after all I'll see you sometimes, baby When you will recall how I drove you crazy Forget about those starlit nights Laying by the fireside holding tight.
I can't remember when it felt so right So just forget about it.
Forget about it, if you see me On the street don't wave don't wink Don't try to tease me with your smile Forget about it if we chance to meet somewhere Don't think it's 'cause I'm tryin' to reconcile.
'Cause after all I'll see you sometimes, baby When I can't recall how you drove me crazy Forget about those starlit nights. Forget about those starlit nights.
He wasn't prepared for a daughter He thought how nice a son would have been But she had her way with her father When she smiled at him.
Years ago he stopped trying to change her He knew that he just couldn't win She'd come home with stray dogs and strangers And he'd have to let 'em in, when she smiled at him.
Now those old memories linger In his mind she's still only ten And he's still wrapped round her finger Like the first time, when she smiled at him.
When he gave her away at the wedding He paused for a moment and then He whispered I think now I'm ready When she smiled at him.
Now as the years fade into each other He may forget some things now and then But her face now so much like her mother's Carries him back again, to when she smiled at him.
Now those old memories linger In his mind she's still only ten And he's still wrapped round her finger Like the first time, when she smiled at him.

Well I knew a man named Campbell he'd cheat and steal and gamble And I guess he tried most everything lowdown He was out tomcattin' last night when he got in a great big fight And then a big policeman came and slapped him down He's in the jailhouse now (he's in the jailhouse now) He's in the jailhouse now (he's in the jailhouse now) Well I told him once or twice to quit drinkin' gin and shootin' dice He's in the jailhouse now

If I told you tonight that I loved you Would you walk my way, would you say Lies that I wanted to hear If I told you tonight that I need you Would you break my heart would you start Wearin' me down again.
I feel so lonely when I'm with you But I'm so lonely when you're gone I can't live with you, can't live without you But I still hold on.
If I told you tonight I was leavin' Would you call my name, take the blame Turn it all around again 'Cause you know I love you And it's worth the heartache I curse the heartbreak we make But I still hold on.

Give me some wheels, put me on a highway Won't look back anyway I'll never be the angel, you see in your dreams Oh, give me some wheels, if I can't have wings
We live in a world that suits you well But it feels like a cage to me And the pedestal you tried to put me on Just slipped out from under my feet
Oh, give me some wheels, put me on a highway Won't look back anyway I'll never be the ange,l you see in your dreams Oh, give me some wheels, if I can't have wings Give me some wheels
You never knew me anyway I just couldn't make you see While you were looking For the words to make me stay I was looking for the keys

I couldn't love you any better than that But you never seemed satisfied What I'm trying to say is I need a man who don't mind letting me drive
Oh, give me some wheels, put me on a highway Won't look back anyway I'll never be your angel, whatever that means Oh, give me some wheels, if I can't have wings Give me some wheels
We've sure had the snow for December Just one open road to town But it's three night's runnin' I've stood here Watchin' you headed back down that Yellow River Road.
Now this winter is closin' in Looks like it's gonna be long and hard Go on down be with your friends Just don't go too far.
Down the Yellow River Road You know I always say that you ought to go When you need some time alone But If there's anything else pullin' you down that way Then you ought to know You've gone too far Down the Yellow River Road.
That road goes lots of places But don't forget it's my road too And I won't have friends with guilty faces Watchin' me walkin' with you down the Yellow River Road.
Could be all this snow that's fallin' Makin' me think there's something wrong But that road goes both ways darlin' And you could come home.
Down the Yellow River Road You know I always say that you ought to go When you need some time alone But If there's anything else pullin' you down that way Then you ought to know You've gone too far.

You're gonna have to save yourself this time, darlin' You're gonna have to find a soft heart in someone else 'Cause I almost drowned coming to your rescue This time around, you're gonna have to save yourself.
I'm all out of rope, and I'm all out of reasons You had me thinkin' I could help, that you needed a friend One little white lie, and it all looks deceivin' You keep going back out over your head again.
You're gonna have to save yourself this time, darlin' You're gonna have to find a soft heart in someone else 'Cause I almost drowned coming to your rescue This time around, you're gonna have to save yourself.

You're gonna have to save yourself this time, darlin' You're gonna have to find a soft heart in someone else 'Cause I'm not gonna drown coming to your rescue This time around, you're gonna have to save yourself.
It sure looks like this love is winding down You changed your mind about me And what you thought you'd found Funny how it works that way, 'Cause I just couldn't see Any sign that you were pulling out on me
I've been in your shoes and I know how it feels You say you love me, but that don't make it real I'm better off knowing that you'll be gone for good Let's just let goodbye hurt like it should
One side of love doesn't get you anywhere There's nothing worse than loving someone Who's just not there I know you searched for something here, Can't say you didn't try But feelings such as these Don't just fall out of the sky
I've been in your shoes and I know how it feels You say you love me, but that don't make it real I'm better off knowing now that you'll be gone for good Let's just let goodbye hurt like it should

There's a young man that I know whose age is twenty-one Comes from down in southern Colorado Just out of the service, he's lookin' for his fun Someday soon, goin' with him someday soon.
My parents can not stand him 'cause he rides the rodeo My father says that he will leave me cryin' I would follow him right down the roughest road I know Someday soon, goin' with him someday soon.
But when he comes to call, My pa ain't got a good word to say Guess it's 'cause he's Just as wild in his younger days.
So blow, you old Blue Northern, blow my love to me He's ridin' in tonight from California He loves his damned old rodeo as much as he loves me Someday soon, goin' with him someday soon.

My old friend said to me That I'm not being what I'm supposed to be. Well I don't know, could be true, I know I wasn't always there for you.
And now you're ready to walk out, you're ready to run, Talk to me, can't you see I would never wanna do what it seems I've done. You cant deal me the aces and think I wouldn't play, Don't let this be the reason you would walk away.
The things you think I should do, I've never understood that part of you. You know I've tried to be a friend, But you feel undermined and hurt again. Now, don't let it convince you, Please don't take it to heart, Compromise and realize, You can never really run everything you start.
You can't deal me the aces and think I wouldn't play. Don't let this be the reason you would walk away.
And I guess I said I couldn't see That things would turn out like they've come to be. And if I lied, and if I knew, I was only trying to think of you.
And now you're ready to walk out, You're ready to run. Talk to me, can't you see I would never wanna do what it seems I've done You can't deal me the aces and think I wouldn't play. Don't let this be the reason you would walk away, Don't let this be the reason you would walk away.
