No matter what I do I can't make you happy Though I go to great lenghts to do your will If you say hurry, girl I make it snappy Trying hard to keep your wishes filled But I'm getting tired and feeling real discouraged From being pressure underneath your thumb So here's a message you can give your mama Starting now I'm looking out for number one Lord everyone around me I've tried so hard to please Till the only one unhappy Feeling broken down is me But things are gonna change With each new setting sun Starting now I'm looking out for number one It's getting hard to face my morning mirror There's a stranger in there staring back at me He tells me every day it's getting clearer Son you're not the man you used to be Yeah it's time to get this monkey off my shoulder And quit worrying 'bout the things that you want done I'm gonna start the fire that you have smoldered 'Cause starting now I'm looking out for number one (Repeat chorus Yeah starting now I'm looking out for number one |

when you meet that certain someone
you've been searchin hard to find its a new love full of passion that can sometimes make you blind and I dont mind being swept away if I know right from the start so before we go much further girl can I trust you with my heart course: can I cast my cares upon you can you stand a heavy load can I count on you to walk me down that long and winding road if you promise me these simple things I can guarantee you can always count on me in all the years I've known you girl I've learned to trust in you so many things you given before I even asked you to but reality and romance can sometimes fall apart what I really need to know is can I trust you with my heart (repeat course) what I really need to know is can I trust you with my heart |

This ol' world, can lay so heavy, on my shoulders
And this face, in my mirror, keeps getting older But no matter how much pressures on I can lay it down, when I get home Cause it all just fades a way, when I touch you Chorus: It's the kind of love, that lingers through the ages A firm foundation built, to see us through So let the storms of life, go right on ragin' For there's calm inside my heart, when I touch you Years from now, when my life, is nearly over And there's nothing more this world, needs me to do If my feeble hand's still strong enough, to reach out I can leave a happy man, when I touch you Repeat Chorus: Yes it makes everything alright When I touch you |

All around I hear the sound of money But I ain't got a nickel to my name And everywhere I look I see temptation She stands on every corner and calls my name Won't you tell me if you can Cause life's so hard to understand Why's the rich man busy dancing While the poor man pays the band Oh they're billing me for killing me Lord have mercy on the working man Uncle Sam's got his hands in my pockets And he helps himself each time he needs a dime Them politicians treat me like a mushroom Cause they feed me bull and keep me in the blind Repeat Chorus Hey St. Peter look down for a minute And see this little man about to drown There's quicksand all around and man I'm in it Please help me up Lord cause I'm going down Won't you tell me if you can Cause life's so hard to understand Why's the rich man busy dancing While the poor man pays the band Oh they're billing me for killing me Lord have mercy on the working man Won't you tell me if you can Cause life's so hard to understand Why's the fat man busy dancing While the thin man pays the band Oh they're billing me for killing me Lord have mercy on the working man Please Lord have mercy on the working man Please Lord have mercy on the working man |

Chorus:
I wish I could go back home I'm so tired of living all alone I left to sow my wilder seeds Now look at all the pain I've grown I wish I could go back home It breaks my heart to see her cry That's how I left her when I said good bye I never meant to be so cruel How could I have been such a fool I got scared when love drew close Turns out her love is what i'm needing most Instead I'm back out on my own Wishing I could go back home Chorus She waited as long as she could stand Finally gave up and found another man And he's getting love that once was mine I can't believe I've been so blind What goes around comes back they say But I'd trade my future for one yesterday We had a good thing now it's gone Lord, I wish I could go back home Chorus We had a good thing now it's gone Lord, I wish I could go back home |

When you left I nearly lost my mind And I tried to drown my sorrow Every night in warm, red wine My old heart's broke to pieces But I'll get by somehow Cause I won't care, Lord, a hundred years from now From the top of this old world To the bottom of the glass I've thrown away my future By drownin' out the past When you walked out the door Girl, you broke every vow But I won't care a hundred years from now... Tonight I'm hurtin' In an old familiar way Lord, I've got lots of reasons Why I come here every day Lord, I'm tired of lovin' lonesome That's how old Travis feels right now But I won't care a hundred years from now... From the top of this old world To the bottom of the glass I've thrown away my future By drownin' out the past When you walked out the door Girl, you broke every vow But I won't care a hundred years from now... Lord, I won't care a hundred years from now... |

I don't like hangin' out with a high dollar crowd I ain't no socialite I'm a little too loud I don't do garden parties sippin' hot tea Down in some honky tonk, brother That's the place for me A hard days livin' is all that I understand Well, I owe my soul to MasterCard I'm a blue collar man I bust my bottom every day eight to five I come home draggin' feelin' barely alive The kids are screamin', house is turned upside down Need a bulldozer just to find my way around Don't like caviar, we like our soup from a can Yeah, I keep my life simple I'm a blue collar man Don't need computers handlin' my bank account Balance my checkbook there's a zero amount Four-carat diamond's not on my lady's hand We live a life rich folks could never understand I make my livin' with these two hard workin' hands Won't ever be no millionaire I'm a blue collar man Won't ever be no millionaire I'm a blue collar man I'm a blue collar man I'm a blue collar man |

The roads that we've traveled Ain't always been easy Lord knows we've both seen our share Of troubles and trials It's hard to believe We made it so far together But just between you and me darling It was worth every mile Chorus: It was worth every storm We had to weather It was worth all the evenings We cried together When the going got toughest I could count on your smile And looking back now I can say It was worth every mile I know you and I both had our doubts That we'd make it But deep in the back of our minds We knew all along That love's not for quitters So we kept ours moving Oh and I think you'll have to agree It was worth every mile Chorus And looking back now I can say It was worth every mile |
