------------------------------------
Doo-n-doo Ooh-ooh-ooh

Tied around her little finger

Wide Open Spaces
-------------------------------
Who doesn't know what I'm talking about
Who's never left home who's never struck out
To find a dream and a life of their own
A place in the clouds, a foundation of stone
Many precede and many will follow
A young girl's dreams no longer hollow
It takes the shape of a place out West
But what it holds for her, she hasn't yet guessed
She needs wide open spaces
Room to make her big mistakes
She needs new faces
She knows the high stakes
She traveled this road as a child
Wide-eyed and grinning she never tired
But now she won't be coming back with the rest
If these are life's lessons, she'll take this test
She needs wide open spaces
Room to make her big mistakes
She needs new faces
She knows the high stakes
As her folks drive away her dad yells, "Check the oil"
Mom stares out the window and says "I'm leaving my girl"
She says, "It didn't seem like that long ago
When she stood there and let her own folks know"
She needed wide open spaces
Room to make her big mistakes
She needs new faces
She knows the high stakes
She knows the high stakes
She knows the high stakes
She knows the high stakes
There's Your Trouble
-------------------------------------
Should have been different, but
It wasn't different, was it
Same old story
Dear John and
So long
It should have fit like a glove
It should have fit like a ring, Like a
Diamond ring
Token of
True Love
Should have all worked out but it didn't
She should be here now but she isn't
There's your trouble, there's your trouble
You keep seeing double with the wrong one
You can't see I love you
You can't see she doesn't
But you just keep holding on
There's your trouble
So now you're thinking 'bout
All you're missing how
Deep you're sinking
Round and round and dragging down
Why don't you cash in your chips
Why don't you call in a loss
Not such a big loss
Chalk it up better luck
Could have been true love but it wasn't
It should all add up but it doesn't
There's your trouble, there's your trouble
You keep seeing double with the wrong one
And you can't see I love you
You can't see she doesn't
But you just keep holding on
There's your trouble
Should of all worked out but it didn't
She should be here now but she isn't
There's your trouble, there's your trouble
You keep seeing double with the wrong one
And you can't see I love you
You can't see she doesn't
But you just keep holding on
There's your trouble
There's your trouble
There's your trouble
There's your trouble
There is your trouble
You Were Mine
----------------------------
I can't find a reason to let go
Even though you've found a new love
And she's what your dreams are made of
I can find a reason to hang on
What went wrong can be forgiven
Without you it ain't worth livin' alone
Sometimes I wake up crying at night
And sometimes I scream out your name
What right does she have to take you away
When for so long you were mine
I took out all the pictures of our wedding day
It was a time of love and laughter
Happy ever after
But even those old pictures have begun to fade
Please tell me she's not real
And that you're really coming home to stay
Sometimes I wake up crying at night
And sometimes I scream out your name
What right does she have to take your heart away
When for so long you were mine
I can give you two good reasons
To show you love's not blind
He's two and she's four and you know they adore you
So how can I tell them you've changed your mind
Sometimes I wake up crying at night
And sometimes I scream out your name
What right does she have to take your heart away
When for so long you were mine
I remember when you were mine
Tonight The Heartache's On Me
---------------------------------------------------
You could've heard a pin drop
when they walked trough the door
I had to turn my eyes away
My heart fell to the floor
Someone whispered, "Where's her halo?"
'Cause she had an angel's face
He stood there smiling holding on
To the one who took my place
So tonight the heartache's on me, on me
Let's drink a toast to the fool who couldn't see
Bartender, pour the wine 'cause the hurtin's all mine
Tonight the heartache's on me
I wonder if he told her
She's the best he's ever known
The way he told me ev'ry night
When we were all alone
She'll find out when the new wears off
He'll find somebody new
She'll learn what the heartache's all about
And what I'm going through
But tonight the heartache's on me, on me
Let's drink a toast to the fool who couldn't see
Bartender, pour the wine 'cause the hurtin's all mine
Tonight the heartache's on me
But tonight the heartache's on me, on me
Let's drink a toast to the fool who couldn't see
Bartender, pour the wine 'cause the hurtin's all mine
Tonight the heartache's on me
Yes tonight the heartache's on me
Let 'Er Rip
----------------------
I can tell there's something you don't wanna tell me
It's killing you cause the words are hard to find
I know you want to break it to me gently
Well sweet baby say what's on your mind
Let'er rip, let it fly
Come on baby say it, do you think I'm gonna cry
I ain't about to bawl, and I ain't gonna die
So if you're gonna say goodbye don't take all damn night
Let'er rip, let it fly
Why the drama, we don't have to drag out this situation
It wasn't you, it wasn't me, sometimes the chemistry don't ignite
There ain't no rings, no mortage, there ain't any complications
It's just a hyphenated word, get it out I'm sure I'll be all right
Let'er rip, let it fly
Come on baby say it, do you think I'm gonna cry
I ain't about to bawl, and I ain't gonna die
So if you're gonna say goodbye don't take all damn night
Let'er rip, let it fly
It ain't no big deal, ain't no great loss
You and I are on the same train of thought
So you don't have to tell me where to get off
Maybe I misunderstood you
If you're leaving baby would you
Let'er rip, let it fly
Come on baby say it, do you think I'm gonna cry
I ain't about to bawl, and I ain't gonna die
So if you're gonna say goodbye don't take all damn night
Let'er rip, Let it fly
So, if you're gonna say goodbye
Don't take all damn night
Let'er rip, let it fly
Once You've Loved Somebody
-----------------------------------------------
I should go out tonight
Get on with my life
Break these chains of solitude
With a little luck and a little help
I might even find myself
In the arms of someone new
'Cause once you've loved somebody
It ain't that easy to do
Once you've loved somebody
Like I loved you
Look what you've gone and done
Ruined everything for anyone
Who tries to steal this heart away
I can't get you off of my mind
I've tried to tell myself a million times
A little time is all it takes
'Cause once you've loved somebody
It ain't that easy to do
Once you've loved somebody
Like I loved you
I gave you everything that I had to give
I don't know if I can go that far again
'Cause once you've loved somebody
It ain't that easy to do
Once you've loved somebody
Like I loved you
Once you've loved somebody
It ain't that easy to do
Once you've loved somebody
Like I loved you

If I Fall You're Going Down With Me
--------------------------------------------------------
Was it the pull of the moon now baby
That led you to my door
You say the night's got you acting crazy
I think it's somethin' more
I never felt the earth move honey
Until you shook my tree
Nobody runs from the law now baby
Of love and gravity it pulls you so strong
Baby you gotta hold on
If I fall you're goin' down with me
You're goin' down with me baby if I fall
You can't take back every little chill you give me
You're goin' down with me baby heart and all
We're hangin' right on the edge now baby
The wind is gettin' stronger
We're hangin' on by a thread now honey
We can't hold on much longer
It's a long way down but it's too late
If I fall you're goin' down with me
You're goin' down with me baby if I fall
You can't take back every little chill you give me
You're goin' down with me baby heart and all
Ooh, baby, I couldn't get any higher
This time I'm willin' to dance on the wire
If I fall
If I fall
If I fall you're goin' down with me
You're goin' down with me baby if I fall
You can't take back every little chill you give me
You're goin' down with me baby heart and all
If I fall
If I fall
Woo hoo yeah
Cowboy Take Me Away
---------------------------------------
I said I wanna touch the earth
I wanna break it in my hands
I wanna grow something wild and unruly
I wanna sleep on the hard ground
In the comfort of your arms
On a pillow of bluebonnets
In a blanket made of star
Oh it sounds good to me I said
Cowboy take me away
Fly this girl as high as you can
Into the wild blue
Set me free oh I pray
Closer to heaven above
And closer to you closer to you
I wanna walk and not run
I wanna skip and not fall
I wanna look at the horizon
And not see a building standing tall
I wanna be the only one
For miles and miles
Except for maybe you
And your simple smile
Oh it sounds good to me
Yes it sounds so good to me
Cowboy take me away
Fly this girl as high as you can
Into the wild blue
Set me free oh I pray
Closer to heaven above
And closer to you closer to you
I said I wanna touch the earth
I wanna break it in my hands
I wanna grow something wild and unruly
Oh it sounds so good to me
Cowboy take me away
Fly this girl as high as you can
Into the wild blue
Set me free oh I pray
Closer to heaven above And closer to you closer to you
Closer to you
Cowboy take me away
Closer to you
Cold Day In July
------------------------------
The moon is full, my arms are empty
All night long I've pleaded and cried
You always said the day that you would leave me
Would be a cold day in July
Your bags are packed, not a word is spoken
I guess we said everything with good-bye
Times move so slow and promises get broken
On this cold day in July
Sun's comin' up, comin' up down on Main street
Children shout as they're running out to play
Head in my hands here I am
Standin' in my bare feet
Watchin' you drive away
Watchin' you drive away
You said that we were gonna last forever
You said our love would never die
It looks like spring and
It feels like sunny weather
But it's a cold day in July
Oh sun's comin' up, comin' up
Down on Main street
Children shout as they're running out to play
Whoa head in my hands
Here I am standin' in my bare feet
Watchin' you drive away
Watchin' you drive away
The moon is full and my arms are empty
All night long how I've pleaded and cried
You always said the day that you would leave me
Would be a cold day in July
Here comes that cold day in July
Oh
Yeah
Oh yeah
La da da la da da la da da
Oh Ooo
Goodbye Earl
---------------------------
Mary Ann and Wanda were the best of friends
All through their high school days
Both members of the 4H club
Both active in the FFA
After graduation Mary Ann went out lookin' for a bright new world
Wanda looked all around this town and all she found was Earl
Well it wasn't two weeks after she got married that
Wanda started gettin' abused
She put on dark glasses and long sleeve blouses
And make-up to cover a bruise
Well she finally got the nerve to file for divorce
She let the law take it from there
But Earl walked right through that restraining order
And put her in intensive care
Right away Mary Ann flew in from Atlanta
On a red eye midnight flight
She held Wanda's hand and they worked out a plan
And it didn't take them long to decide
That Earl had to die
Goodbye Earl
Those black-eyed peas
They tasted alright to me Earl
You feelin' weak
Why don't you lay down and sleep Earl
Ain't it dark
Wrapped up in that tarp Earl
The cops came by to bring Earl in
They searched the house high and low
Then they tipped their hats and said 'thank you ladies if you hear from him let us know'
Well the weeks went by and
Spring turned to summer
And summer faded into fall
And it turns out he was a missing person who nobody missed at all
So the girls bought some land and a roadside stand
Out on highway 109
They sell Tennessee ham and strawberry jam
And they don't lose any sleep at night 'cause
Earl had to die
Goodnight Earl
We need a break
Let's go out to the lake Earl
We'll pack a lunch
And stuff you in the trunk Earl
Well is that all right
Good let's go for a ride
Earl hey
Well hey, hey, hey
Aw, hey, hey, hey
Well, hey, hey, hey
Sin Wagon
-------------------
He pushed me 'round now I'm drawin the line
He lived his life now I'm gonna go and live mine
I'm sick of wastin my time
Well now I've been good for way too long.
Found my red dress now I'm gonna throw it on
'Bout to get too far gone
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Need a little bit more of my twelve-ounce nutrition
One more helpin' of what I been havin'
I'm takin my turn on the sin wagon
On a mission to make something happen
Feel like Delilah lookin' for Samson
Do a little mattress dancin'
That's right I said mattress dancin'
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Need a little bit more of what I been missin
I don't know where I'll be crashin
But I'm arrivin on a sin wagon
When it's my turn to march up to glory
I'm gonna have one hell of a story
That's if He forgives me
Oh Lord please forgive me
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Need a little bit more of that sweet salvation
They may take me with my feet draggin
But I'll fly away on a sin wagon
I'll fly away on a sin wagon
Without You
---------------------
I've sure enjoyed the rain
But I'm looking forward to the sun
You have to feel the pain when you lose the love you gave someone
I thought by now that time would take away these lonely tears
I hope you're doin' fine all alone but where do I go from here 'cause
Without you I'm not okay
And without you I've lost my way
My heart's stuck in second place ooh
Without you
Well I never thought I'd be lying here without you by my side
It seems unreal to me that the life you promised was a lie
You made it look so easy makin' love into memories
I guess you got what you wanted but what about me
Without you I'm not okay
And without you I've lost my way
My heart's stuck in second place ooh
Without you
Somebody tell my head to try to tell my heart
That I'm better off without you
'Cause baby I can't live
Without you I'm not okay
And without you I've lost my way
My heart's stuck in second place ooh
Without you
Without you
