So you believed them when they whispered like the wind Now we are back where we began And how do you know I was ok leaving anyway And I miss you everyday Chorus I'm a little bit angry but thats alright It's a little bit harder everytime I'm a little bit lucky but I don't mind Cause I'm a little bit stronger I saw it comin' we were racing to the end Now there's no goin' back where we began But ...
I found myself down at the Airways Motel Drunk and half hearted again Alone with a woman who's not gonna tell What I've been doin' and where I have been It seems Sunday mornings, they come without warning I'm never ready for the way that I feel So sick of lying, I know that I'm dying From all of these secrets that I can't reveal But I can still sing along with the choir While I fight through m...
I always believed and followed Trusted in things, relied on faith Faith let me down in hollow Now, I have found another way All I can do is what you want me to do, but I don?t And all I can say is what you want me to say, but I won?t All I can prove to you is I got nothing left to prove to you Truth is that anything for you is all I can do Everything is an empty promise All that you say are li...
J. Ingram/B. Robison I come home now my woman says to me There's got to be somewhere I'd rather be She left me staring at an open door Now I'm so broken I couldn't walk the floor You get a little bit of hugging, you get a whole lot of pain You get a little bit of sunshine, you get a whole lot of rain And a whole lot of heartache, For just a little good time Anymore good loving, will drive me o...

Snider I see you looking and I know what you think You're getting braver with every drink but I am telling you something you need to know She may look like a sweet young thing Talking to him but she ain't hearing a thing If you were smart you'd turn around and let her go That girls' a Barbie doll A Barbie doll She's real good-looking but she's got no heart at all She puts on her m...
The clouds are partin', the summer suns startin' To burn down on that river My baby's waitin', I got the Chevy shakin' I'm blazin' a trail to get her, there she is She's got her shades on and man, she's lookin' strong Mine all mine for the weekend The coolers loaded down, we're headed outta town Jumpin' off the deep end Goin' barefoot and crazy, me and my baby Back flip off the flip right brid...
A young man drivin' down a dusty road Like he's got somewhere to go Drivin' like he's got a destination Like he's got somewhere to go in that beat up ford See there was a time when he was a young lost soul He was chasin' butterflies and rainbows 'Til one day when he found his pot of gold In the words of the young man who turned old The old man said, "You gotta have a good imagination" If you'r...

Where in hell did you go? You left us all alone I wasn't even eighteen You never turned around Like some kid out on the run You headed for the fun down in Biloxi And the Gulf of Mexico Where I guess the girls they're pretty And nobody says it's late And you can stay out all night long And never have hell to pay down in Biloxi Even when your forty one You just forget you're problems down in Bil...
I look around and all I see is people Trying to find a reason If this world can hand out such a beatin' And they don't wanna hurt anymore When we were young it all seemed to be easy Everything within reach One broken heart and we're retreatin' 'Cause we don't wanna hurt anymore Don't want to, don't want to Don't want to hurt anymore But you look at me and you say you feel sorry But you never u...

Weathered sign on the marquee An old film playin' at the show He could tell by the clouds up top Old northern was about to blow So he hopped in his pick-up truck Steered it on down the road There he picked up his dark-haired beauty Drove on down nice and slow, singin' This is my girl This is my world This is my girl This is my world Lovers? tune on the stereo Cool breeze blowin? through her ha...

Old man Crow goes down to the river He's gonna fish himself a full day's work He's been fishing the same old pond nearly all his life He's got his name engraved right there in the dirt He's gonna take his catch down to market He's gonna bring that money back home He's putting bread on the table He's doing his job Old man's buddy comes down to the river He's gonna talk himself a full day's work...
The neon's burning both ends of another night Everybody's living way to loud Workin' hard to act like every thing's alright Anything to keep from coming down Oh fool, you're fooling yourself Don't you know that closing time will tell And if you think you're fooling anybody else Oh fool, you're fooling yourself Telling anyone who'll listen that it won't be long Any day now she'll come back to y...

Inna came from Mexico She tried to find a job She figured she?d work on rich girl's nails That couldn?t be so hard Inna?s got a twelve year old And she dies inside She can?t clear the picture from her eyes Of leaving that little girl behind But she?s gonna find a daddy here And her little girl?s gonna come here too But just like every other dream so far She knows that one probably won?t come t...

One and only rebel child from a fam'ly meek and mild My mama seemed to to know what lay in store, 'Spite all my Sunday learnin' towards the bad I kept on turnin', ...

I was feeling confused like a man with no name When I wandered upon your step You took me away to a place far from sight Without leaving a step from your room Nowhere can compare To the places we've traveled No dreams can escape us when we're alone Me and you When I wake up at night with dreams of confusion and fright And I look for a place where I can hide In our love where we're safe from ou...
