SEND BACK MY HEART
-------------------------------
By now I really should be over you But I might as well just give up tryin` You've got what's missin` deep inside me And I want it back, girl you know it's mine
Chorus
Send back my heart if you don't want it Send back my heart girl, the one you stole away You've made it plain, your names not on it S don't put me through one more blue and lonely day Send back my heart I've found somebody else wants my love But I can't give her what she needs The very thing she's wantin` still ain't mine to give So won't you let it go, please baby please I've tried to forget you girl just like you told me to But baby that's impossible, so now it's up to you
HER MAN
--------------
I'm gonna change my ways of 'doin things around here I'm turning over a new leaf ,gonna get my self in gear 'Cause I've got a women whos better then most, and I've made a mess of her plains Starting today ,all I'm gonna be is her man 'Cause I've been a wild catter, and a go-go getter Been an S.O.B. right down to the letter I've had misadventures, I've even got pictures I'm even more than I can stand But startin` today, all I'm gonna be is her man I'm gonna give it all back, cause all I've done is take Well I've put her on the back burner while I was out on the make But I've got a woman who's good enough to give me A second chance again And startin` today, all I'm gonna be is her man 'Cause I've been a wild catter, and a go-go getter Been an S.O.B. right down to the letter I've had misadventures, I've even got pictures I'm even more than I can stand But startin` today, all I'm gonna be is her man I'm a little bit late but I'm wisin` up Now I'm takin` her by the hand And startin` today, all I'm gonna be is her man
FOREVER AND A DAY
-----------------------------
The say nothin` lasts forever Honey, I've got good news Whoever said that Never got the blues from you This cloud I'm under Looks like it's gonna stay The thunders gonna roll Forever and a day Nothing's gonna change The way I think and feel My heart is so heavy And my fate is sealed Lord, stop this misery Every night I pray E'm knowin` that it's there Forever and a day
Chorus
Forever and a day You're stuf here in my mind Forever and a day Is such a long, long time I tell myself again That I just can't swim This river of regret That I'm drownin` in You've left with this feeling That I just can't shake My spirit's gonna sink Forever and day
LIVING IN A HOUSE OF LOVE
--------------------------------------
Chorus: Now love is pouring through the windows Comin` through the door I can feel it creepin` through the cracks in the floor Bouncin` off the walls and the ceilin` up above Since I found you I'm livin` in a house of love
All my life my hear's been walked on Women said they loved me my how they talked tellin` me lies And fillin` my eyes with tears that I couldn't control I couldn't get a hold of myself long enough to realize They were only tryin` to pull the wool over my eyes I found you then the skies turned blue I'm livin` in a house of love
Once I lived in a hole like a rabbit I couldn't find love the blues were a habit A lonely man and I couldn't understand Why everything I tried went wrong 'Til you came alone bless your heart and showed me the right way You dried my eyes and truned my night to day And I'm so proud I wanna holler our loud Tell the world about my house of love
ALL I HAD GOING IS GONE
------------------------------------
The day we met I'll never forget Was the luckiest of my life She took me so far And I broke her heart Now I'm sittin` here With the simple truth That tears me apart
Chorus:
All I had goin` is gone The best I'll ever do Is over and done It serves me right 'Cause I did her wrong Now all I had goin` is gone Sometimes a man Just don't understand He possesses everything life can bring He thinks there's more So he has to explore Leavin` her alone Time after time Til she wlaked out my door Now it serves me right She left me alone Now all I had goin` is gone
FROM WHERE I'M SITTING
-----------------------------------
He asked her to dance three songs ago Now she pulls him closer as the music slows The lights are growin` dim it's just her and him and the band Funny, I used to love this song I though it was our song but I guess I was wrong From where I'm sittin` I can see where I stand
Chorus:
From where I'm sittin` I can see where I stand She's got her head on his shoulder and her heart in his hands Thing's are pretty clear when a fool understands Lord, from where I'm sittin` I can see where I stand
I've never seen her dance like that before Don't think I can take much of this anymore He's no longer the stranger and it looks like I am I always dreamed I'd see that look in her eyes But I never dreamed it would be for some other guy And from where I'm sittin` I can see where I stand
IT WOULD BE YOU
--------------------------
It's hard describing a heartache All because it's a one of a kind of thing A serious injury And a whole lot of endless pain If it was a storm I'd compare to a hurricane Oh it's even got a name If it was a drink It would be a strong one If it was a sad song It would be a long one If it was a color It would be a deep deep blue But if we're talking about a heartache It would be you If it was a full moon It would be a total eclipse If it was a tidal wave It would sink a thousand ships If it was a blizzard It would be a record breaking cold If it was a lie It would be the biggest story you've ever told If it was a drink It would be a strong one If it was a sad song It would be a long one If it was a color It would be a deep deep blue But if we're talking about a heartache It would be you If it was a color It would be a deep deep blue But if we're talking about a heartache It would be you
NO MAN IN HIS WRONG HEART
-----------------------------------------
On the inside flap of a matchbook cover She made me the kind of offer That no man in a weak state could outrun I tried to think what a gentleman would say Turnin' that kind of opportunity away I tried my best to tell her I'm not the right one Like no man in his wrong heart would've done
I said no ma'am Like no man would've said if he wasn't in love With you the way I am It could've been easy for me to be a gooner But something a whole lot stronger made me run Like no man in his wrong heart would've done.
Didn't want her to think that I wasn't flattered Her interest in me, believe me it mattered So I dropped several quarters in the old jukebox I said I want you to dance all night on me In a lucky man's arrms Whoever he might be Then I hit that door like I was shot from a gun Like no man in his wrong heart would've done
DON'T LEAVE HER LONELY TOO LONG
----------------------------------------------------
Well my friend you ask me what to do If I were you, and feeling blue I know inside that you still care You want her here, but she's out there Don't leave her lonely too long 'Cause she'll be gone, gone, gone Don't leave her lonely too long 'Cause she'll be gone, gone, gone You still have time to change her mind She needs to know, the way you feel And there could be no better time You've got to show her your love is real Don't leave her lonely too long 'Cause she'll be gone, gone, gone Don't leave her lonely too long 'Cause she'll be gone, gone, gone There's strangers waiting in line To take your place and leave you behind And then too late you'll change your mind Your heart will break a million times Don't leave her lonely too long 'Cause she'll be gone, gone, gone Don't leave her lonely too long 'Cause she'll be gone, gone, gone She'll be gone, gone, gone
I'LL TAKE TODAY
-------------------------
Yeah, she's the one The one I told you all about Yeah, it was serious, but it was long ago She just might walk over here And give me a kiss for old times But don't you worry dear Old times, next to you, can never come close I'll take today over yesterday, anyday I'll take lyin' in your arms tonight Over and above any love, I've known Memories may find me, but they'll always be behind me I'll take today over yesterday, anyday I'd be lyin' if I tried to tell you now That I never loved her And she doesn't ever cross my mind But that was yesterday, and baby, I don't wanna go back Here is where I'm gonna stay With you in each tomorrow of my life I'll take today over yesterday, anyday I'll take lyin' in your arms tonight Over and above any love, I've known Memories may find me, but they'll always be behind me I'll take today over yesterday, anyday Memories may find me, but they'll always be behind me I'll take today over yesterday, anyday
SHE LOVES ME, SHE DON'T LOVE YOU
---------------------------------------------------
Well, I can see you're dancing every dance with her And it seems to me you're dancing much too close to her When you're sitting at our table you're sitting next to her But my heart knows that it's true that she loves me, she don't love you Well let me tell you friend I'm wise to your lies Even telling me that I'm the guy for her And every little thing that you do and say Has given me the way you're in love with her Well just one more dance with her And friend you're gonna see What it's like to hit the floor And do a little dance with me So here's your coat and here's your hat I think you'd better leave 'Cause she just told me it's true She loves me, she don't love you Well let me tell you friend I'm wise to your lies Even telling me that I'm the guy for her And every little thing that you do and say Has given me the way you're in love with her Well just one more dance with her And friend you're gonna see What it's like to hit the floor And do a little dance with me So here's your coat and here's your hat I think you'd better leave 'Cause she just told me it's true She loves me, she don't love you So here's your coat and here's your hat I think you'd better leave 'Cause she just told me it's true She loves me, she don't love you
IT TOOK US ALL NIGHT LONG TO SAY GOODBYE
--------------------------------------------------------------
It only took a minute for us to finally end it I guess we'd seen it comin' for some time And it only took one hour to sit and talk it over But it took us all night long to say goodbye Now the flame is gone I know And the ashes have grown cold And the love we had we'll never have again But there's one ember left that must have never died 'Cause it took us all night long to say goodbye Too many tears have fallen, too many dreams were broken And holdin' on would be a waste of time But sometimes I know I'll wonder if it was really over 'Cause it took us all night to say goodbye Now the flame is gone I know And the ashes have grown cold And the love we had we'll never have again But there's one ember left that must have never died 'Cause it took us all night long to say goodbye There's one ember left that must have never died 'Cause it took us all night long to say goodbye
FORGOTTEN, BUT NOT GONE
---------------------------------------
Her birthday came and went without a card, or a single I love you On their anniversary she sat all alone at a table set for two She tries her best to please him, but she never hears one single word of praise She feels just like a stranger, in a home where love has seen its better days
Well he's taken her for granted God only knows why she keeps hangin' on 'Cause it's better to be gone, but not forgotten Than to be forgotten, but not gone
Somehow he can't remember, when he's late to even take the time to call And even on the nights he's there she gets the feeling he's not there at all She's become a prisoner in that big old house where sweet love used to be Well, it's not even over but Lord she feels just like a memory
Well he's taken her for granted God only knows why she keeps hangin' on 'Cause it's better to be gone, but not forgotten Than to be forgotten, but not gone
'Cause it's better to be gone, but not forgotten Gone, but not forgotten Than to be forgotten, but not gone
NO JUDGEMENT DAY
----------------------------
Willie Johnson was locking up his store Monday night And someone snuck in and they commenced a fight His wife Emilia found him lying on the freezer floor Now this sleepy little town, it aint sleepy no more Sheriff Walker holds three local boys in jail They confessed right down to the last detail They beat Willie with a bat, He was 70 years old Then they bought some beer with the six dollars they stole
Well I know my anger is not politically cool But, brother we're in danger when kids can be so cruel as to kill for play, Dear God have mercy we're liven just like theres no judgment day
Billy Haney is the youngest of the three accused His grandpa got him as a baby hungry and abused But no one guessed the depth of his emotional scares Till we saw him on the news grinning like a movie star
Well I know my anger is not politically cool But, brother we're in danger when we can be so cruel, as throw our kids away Dear God have mercy we're living just like theres no judgment day
Today the headlights lined in the drizzling rain To the graveyard stretched a five mile chain And we laid to rest one of this towns sweetest souls And we barried the peace we know in that very same hole
SMOKE RINGS IN THE DARK
-------------------------------------
Well I won't make you tell me What I've come to understand You're a certain kind of woman and I'm a different kind of man I've tried to make you love me You're tried to find a spark of the flame that burned and Somehow turned to smoke ring in the dark The loneliness within me Takes a heavy toll 'Cause it burns as slow as whiskey through an empty aching soul and The night is like a dagger Long and cold and sharp As I sit here on the front steps Blowing smoke rings in the dark I- I- I know I must be going 'Cause loves already gone and All I'm taking with me are the pieces of my heart and All I'll leave are smoke rings in the dark The rain falls where it wants to Wind blows where it will Everything on earth goes somewhere But I swear we're standin' still So I'm not going to wake you I'll go easy on your heart I'll just touch your face and drift away Like smoke rings in the dark I- I- I know I must be going 'Cause loves already gone and All I'm taking with me are the pieces of my heart and All I'll leave are smoke rings in the dark
RIGHT WHERE I NEED TO BE
---------------------------------------
There's a plane flyin' outta here tonight Destination New Orleans Boss man says my big promotion's on the line He says that's right where I need to be Lately I've been on the road more than I've been home All this leavin' her alone is killin' me And holdin' her right now has got me thinkin' more and more This is right where I need to be Where when I hear her I can see her I can smell her sweet perfume I can feel her skin against me when I sleep Where I won't miss her I can kiss her Anytime that I want to Yeah that's right where I need to be Yeah that's right where I need to be There's a plane flyin' outta here tonight With an empty first class seat 'Cause I've finally got all my priorities in line And I'm right where I need to be Where when I hear her I can see her I can smell her sweet perfume I can feel her skin against me when I sleep Where I won't miss her I can kiss her Anytime that I want to Yeah that's right where I need to be Yeah I'm right where I need to be
LOVIN' YOU AGAINST MY WILL
