When loving turns to parting I'm always the first to leave Cause when it comes to heartaches I'd rather give than to receive I've never cried myself to sleep just praying I'll get through I've never lost at love not counting you Not counting you I've never had a heartache Not counting you I never have been blue There's no exceptions to the rule I've never been nobody's fool I've never lost at love not counting you I've never got down on my knees and asked the Lord above If He would only bring to me the one I'm dreaming of Begging to be taken back and swearing I'll be true Has never crossed my mind not counting you Not counting you I've never had a heartache Not counting you I never have been blue There's no exceptions to the rule I've never been nobody's fool I've never lost at love not counting you There's no exceptions to the rule I've never been nobody's fool I've never lost at love not counting you No, I've never lost at love not counting you
She swears there's nothing wrong, but something's missing She's never been much good at telling lies 'Cause you can hear the sound of leaving, if you listen This may be California, but Oklahoma's in her eyes I've got a good thing going It's plain to see she's tired of hanging on I've got a good thing going It's killing me that she's as good as gone By now she must be tired of always giving And tired of what she's getting in return I guess Oklahoma's more her style of living 'Cause I can see her heart is heading 'cross a bridge I thought she'd burned I've got a good thing going It's plain to see she's tired of hanging on I've got a good thing going It's killing me that she's as good as gone Lord it's killing me that she's as good as gone
Sometimes late at night I lie awake and watch her sleeping She's lost in peaceful dreams So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark And the thought crosses my mind If I never wake in the morning Would she ever doubt the way I feel About her in my heart If tomorrow never comes Will she know how much I loved her Did I try in every way to show her every day That she's my only one And if my time on earth were through And she must face this world without me Is the love I gave her in the past Gonna be enough to last If tomorrow never comes 'Cause I've lost love ones in my life Who never knew how much I loved them Now I live with the regret That my true feelings for them never were revealed So I made a promise to myself To say each day how much she means to me And avoid that circumstance Where there's no second chance to tell her how I feel If tomorrow never comes Will she know how much I loved her Did I try in every way to show her every day That she's my only one And if my time on earth were through And she must face this world without me Is the love I gave her in the past Gonna be enough to last If tomorrow never comes So tell that someone that you love Just what you're thinking of If tomorrow never comes
First time he saw the ground get busted He was 10, it was 1952 His daddy worked hard From sun up til sundown And the goin' got tough Behind them old gray mules The farm grew to be a money maker And the house he lived in Grew up room by room The boy worked hard But soon got tired of farmin' So he slipped away one night B'neath the harvest moon His neck was red As alabama clay But the city's call Pulled him away He's got a factory job And run's a big machine He don't miss the farm Or the fields of green Now the city's just a prison Without fences His job is just A routine he can't stand And at night he derams of wide open spaces Fresh dirt tween his toes and on his hands Then one day a picture came Inside a letter Of a young girl With a baby in her arms And the words she wrote Would change his life forever So he went to raise his family On the farm His neck was red As alabama clay Now he's going home This time to stay Where the roots run deep On the family tree And the tractor rolls Through the fields of green His neck was red As alabama clay Now he's going home This time to stay Where the roots run deep On the family tree And the tractor rolls Through the fields of green His neck is red As alababma clay
This old highway's gettin' longer It seems there is no end in sight To sleep would be best But I just can't afford to rest I gotta ride in Denver tomorrow night I called the house but no one answered For the last two weeks, no one's been home I guess she's through with me To tell the truth, I just can't see What's kept the woman holdin' on this long And the white line's getting longer and the saddle's gettin' cold And I'm much too young to feel this damn old All my cards are on the table, with no ace left in the hole And I'm much too young to feel this damn old The competition's gettin' younger Tougher broncs, you know I can't recall A worn out tape of Chris LeDoux Lonely women and bad booze Seem to be the only friends I've left at all And the white line's gettin' longer and the saddle's gettin' cold And I'm much too young to feel this damn old All my cards are on the table, with no ace left in the hole And I'm much too young to feel this damn old Lord, I'm much too young to feel this damn old
He told a good story, and all us kids listened 'Bout his life on the border and the way it was then And we all believed him and when he would finish We'd ask the old cowboy to tell 'em again An' you could almost hear those prairie winds blowin' His saddle a-creakin', 'neath his old faded jeans An' you could taste the dry dust from the trail he was ridin' As he sat there and he painted those west Texas scenes And the grown-ups would tell us, you boys keep your distance That old man's just tellin' you lies But to all us kids, Cowboy Bill was a hero Just as true as his blue Texas skies He told of a time, when he rode with the rangers Down on the Pecos, and he saved the day Outnumbered by plenty, they were almost to cover With thirty banditos headed their way And he looked back just in time to see a horse stumble The captain went down, and Bill pulled up on his rains And through a flurry of bullets he rescued the captain And they rode for a sunset, just the story remains And the grown-ups would tell us, you boys keep your distance That old man's just tellin' you lies But to all us kids, Cowboy Bill was a hero Just as true as his blue Texas skies Well I still remember the day that it happened We waited and we waited, but Bill never showed And the folks at the feed store said they hadn't seen him So we set out for his place, down Old Grist Mill Road And we cried when we found him lyin' there with his memories The old trunk wide open, things scattered about An' he was clutchin' a badge that said Texas Ranger And an old yeller letter, said, "Texas Is Proud" And those grown-ups that told us, you boys keep your distance That old man's just tellin' you lies Now, they're all sayin' that Cowboy Bill was a hero Just as true as his blue Texas skies Just as true, as his blue Texas skies
Nobody gets off in this town Trains don't even slow down My high school sweetheart's married and gone They met on a bus to San Antone The Greyhound stops! Somebody gets on But nobody gets off in this town Nobody gets off in this town Old folks 'round here wear a frown Now let me see if I can set the scene It's a one-dog town and he's old and mean There's one stop light but it's always green Nobody gets off in this town Nobody gets off in this town High school colors are brown They can't drag Main because it kicks up dust Their cars and their dreams are all starting to rust The high school dances are always a bust Nobody gets off in this town Nobody gets off in this town They oughta just tear it down Cause in the winter you freeze and in the summer you fry Utility bill's the only thing that gets high I'd go for a drink but this county is dry Nobody gets off Nobody gets off Nobody gets off in this square old merry-go-round No, nobody gets off in this town
When all your loves have ended When all your friends have flown Who'll be around to want you When all your loves have gone? Only a fool would do it After the way you've done But how many fools would have you? I know one This fool keeps wondering why He fell in love at all But you might need this fool Around in case you fall After the party's over And you've had your fill of fun If you need a fool to forgive you I know one You never know, you might be lonely When all your loves have missed It wouldn't hurt to keep an extra Fool on your list After your heart's been broken And you need a place to run If you'll take a fool who loves you I know one, I know one, I know one
To describe it But it's funny this song fits perfectly well right here The song is called "The Dance" Looking back On the memory of The dance we shared 'Neath the stars above For a moment All the world was right But how could I have known That you'd ever say goodbye And now I'm glad I didn't know The way it all would end The way it all would go Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain But I'd have had to miss the dance Holding you I held everything For a moment Wasn't I the king? If I'd only known How the king would fall Hey, who's to say You know I might have changed it all And now I'm glad I didn't know The way it all would end The way it all would go Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain But I'd have had to miss the dance It's my life, it's better left to chance I could have missed the pain But I'd have had to miss the (dance)
3:30 in the mornin', not a soul in sight The city's lookin' like a ghost town on a moonless summer night Raindrops on the windshield, there's a storm movin' in He's headin' back from somewhere that he never should have been And the thunder rolls And the thunder rolls Every light is burnin' in a house across town She's pacin' by the telephone in her faded flannel gown Askin' for a miracle, hopin' she's not right Prayin' it's the weather that's kept him out all night And the thunder rolls Oh, and the thunder rolls Thunder rolls And the lightnin' strikes Another love grows cold On a sleepless night As the storm blows on, out of control Deep in her heart The thunder rolls She's waitin' by the window when he pulls into the drive She rushes out to hold him, thankful he's alive But on the wind and rain, a strange perfume blows And the lightnin' flashes in her eyes And he knows that she knows And the thunder rolls And the thunder rolls Thunder rolls And the lightnin' strikes Another love grows cold On a sleepless night As the storm blows on, out of control Deep in her heart The thunder rolls
Like birds on a high line They line up at nighttime at the bar They all once were lovebirds Now bluebirds are all that they are They landed in hell The minute they fell from love's sky And now they hope in the wine They'll find a new way to fly A new way to fly Far away from goodbye Above the clouds and the rain The memories and pain And the tears that they cry Now the lesson's been learned They've all crashed and burned But they can leave it behind If they could just find A new way to fly By the end of the night They'll be high as a kite, once again And they don't seem to mind all the time Or the money they spend And it's a high price to pay To just find a way to get by But it's worth every dime If they find a new way to fly A new way to fly Far away from goodbye Above the clouds and the rain The memories and pain And the tears that they cry Now the lesson's been learned They've all crashed and burned But they can leave it behind If they could just find A new way to fly They'll leave it behind As soon as they find A new way to fly

Blame it all on my roots I showed up in boots And ruined your black tie affair, yeah The last one to know The last one to show I was the last one you thought you'd see there And I saw the surprise And the fear in his eyes When I took his glass of champagne And I toasted you Said, "Honey, we may be through But you'll never hear me complain" 'Cause I've got friends in low places Where the whiskey drowns And the beer chases my blues away, ha, ha, ha, ha And I'll be okay I'm not big on social graces Think I'll slip on down to the Oasis Oh, I've got friends in low places Well, I guess I was wrong I just don't belong But then, I've been there before Everything's alright I'll just say goodnight And I'll show myself to the door Hey, I didn't mean To cause a big scene Just give me an hour and then Well, I'll be as high as that ivory tower That you're livin' in 'Cause I've got friends in low places Where the whiskey drowns And the beer chases my blues away And I'll be okay I'm not big on social graces Think I'll slip on down to the Oasis Oh, I've got friends in low places Everybody!

From a phone booth in Cheyenne I made a promise to Diane No more rodeos I'd gone my last go 'round The same promise that I made In San Antone and Santa Fe But tonight I saddled up And let her down Wild horses keep draggin' me away And I'll lose more than I'm gonna win someday Wild horses just stay wild And her heart is all I break Wild horses keep draggin' me away She'll watch me drive around her block Getting courage up to stop To make her one more promise That I can't keep The way I love the rodeo I guess I should let her go Before I hurt her more Than she loves me Wild horses keep draggin' me away And I'll lose more than I'm gonna win someday Wild horses just stay wild And her heart is all I break Wild horses keep draggin' me away Wild horses keep draggin' me away And I'll lose more than I'm gonna win someday Wild horses just stay wild And her heart is all I break Wild horses keep draggin' me away
Just the other night, at a hometown football game My wife and I, ran into my old high school flame And as I introduced them, the past came back to me And I couldn't help but think, of the way things used to be She was the one, that I'd wanted for all times Each night I'd spend prayin', that God would make her mine And if he'd only grant me this wish, I wished back then I'd never ask for anything, again Sometimes, I thank God, for unanswered prayers Remember, when you're talkin' to the man upstairs And just because, he doesn't answer, doesn't mean he don't care Some of God's greatest gifts, are unanswered prayers She wasn't quite the angel, that I remembered in my dreams And I could tell, that time had changed me In her eyes too, it seemed We tried to talk about the old days There wasn't much, we could recall I guess the Lord knows what he's doin', after all And as she walked away, and I looked at my wife And then and there, I thanked the good Lord For the gifts, in my life Sometimes, I thank God, for unanswered prayers Remember, when you're talkin' to the man upstairs That just because he may not answer, doesn't mean he don't care Some of God's greatest gifts, are unanswered Some of God's greatest gifts, are all too often unanswered Some of God's greatest gifts, are unanswered prayers
While they dance, how she holds him Pulls him close and loves him so While he dreams of another And counts the days until he lets her go Same old story That everybody knows It's one heart holdin' on And one letting go While they write, Lord, he tells her How they two will settle down But she only hears the highway And a voice in some other town And the harder he holds her The more she slips away Same old story That everybody knows It's one heart holdin' on And one letting go Same old story
Folks call me a maverick Guess I ain't too diplomatic I just never been the kind to go along Just avoidin' confrontation For the sake of conformation And I'll admit I tend to sing a different song But sometimes you just can't be afraid To wear a different hat If Columbus had complied This old world might still be flat Nothin' ventured, nothin' gained Sometimes you've got to go against the grain Well, I have been accused Of makin' my own rules There must be rebel blood Just a-runnin' through my veins But I ain't no hypocrite What you see is what you get And that's the only way I know To play the game Old Noah took much ridicule For building his great ark But after forty days and forty nights He was lookin' pretty smart Sometimes it's best to brave the wind and rain By havin' strength to go against the grain Well, there's more folks than a few Who share my point of view But they're worried If they're gonna sink or swiim They'd like to buck the system But the deck is stacked against 'em And they're a little scared To go out on a limb But if you're gonna make a difference If you're gonna leave your mark You can't follow like a bunch of sheep You got to listen to your heart Go bustin' in like old John Wayne Sometimes you got to go against the grain Nothin' ventured, nothin' gained Sometimes you've got to go against the grain
His eyes were cold and restless And his wounds have almost healed And she'd give half of Texas just to change the way he feels Well she knows his love's in Tulsa And she knows he's gonna go Well, it ain't no woman flesh and blood It's that damned old rodeo Oh well, it's bulls and blood, it's dust and mud It's the roar of a Sunday crowd It's the white in his knuckles, the gold in the buckle He'll win the next go 'round It's boots and chaps, it's cowboy hats It's spurs and latigo It's the ropes and the reins, and the joy and the pain And they call the thing rodeo Well, she does her best to hold him When his love comes to call But his need for it controls him and her back's against the wall And it's so long, girl, I'll see you When it's time for him to go You know the woman wants her cowboy Like he wants his rodeo Oh, well, it's bulls and blood, it's dust and mud It's the roar of a Sunday crowd It's the white in his knuckles, the gold in the buckle He'll win the next go 'round It's boots and chaps, it's cowboy hats It's spurs and latigo It's the ropes and the reins, and the joy and the pain And they call the thing rodeo It'll drive a cowboy crazy It'll drive a man insane And he'll sell off everything he owns just to pay to play the game And a broken home and some broken bones is all he'll have to show For all the years that he spent chasin' this dream they call rodeo Oh, well, it's bulls and blood, it's dust and mud It's the roar of a Sunday crowd It's the white in his knuckles, the gold in the buckle He'll win the next go 'round It's boots and chaps, it's cowboy hats It's spurs and latigo It's the ropes and the reins, and the joy and the pain And they call the thing rodeo It's the broncs and the blood, it's the steers and the mud And they call the thing rodeo
Last time I saw her, it was turnin' colder But that was years ago Last I heard she had moved to Boulder But where she's now, I don't know But there's somethin' 'bout this time of year That spins my head around Takes me back and makes me wonder What she's doin' now 'Cause what she's doin' now is tearin' me apart Fillin' up my mind and emptyin' my heart I can hear her call each time the cold wind blows And I wonder if she knows what she's doin' now Just for laughs, I dialed her old number But no one knew her name Hung up the phone, sat there and wondered If she'd ever done the same I took a walk in the evenin' wind To clear my head somehow But tonight, I lie here thinkin' What's she doin' now? 'Cause what she's doin' now is tearin' me apart Fillin' up my mind and emptyin' my heart I can hear her call each time the cold wind blows And I wonder if she knows That what she's doin' now is tearin' me apart Fillin' up my mind and emptyin' my heart I can hear her call each time the cold wind blows And I wonder if she knows what she's doin' now
Yesterday she thanked me for oilin' that front door This mornin' when she wakes she won't be thankful anymore She'll never know how much I cared, just that I couldn't stay And I'll never know the reason why I always run away Burning bridges, one by one What I'm doin' can't be undone And I'm always hopin' someday I'm gonna stop this runnin' 'round But every time the chance comes up Another bridge goes down Last night we talked of old times, families and hometowns She wondered if we'd both agree on where we'd settle down And I told her that we'd cross that bridge whenever it arrived Now through the flames, I see her standin' on the other side Burning bridges, one by one What I'm doin', can't be undone And I'm always hopin' someday I'm gonna stop this runnin' 'round But every time the chance comes up Another bridge goes down Like ashes on the water, I drift away in sorrow Knowing that the day my lesson's finally learned I'll be standin' at a river, starin' out across tomorrow And the bridge I need to get there will be a bridge that I have burned Burning bridges, one by one What I'm doin', can't be undone And I'm always hopin' someday I'm gonna stop this runnin' 'round But every time the chance comes up Another bridge goes down Another bridge goes down
Papa drove a truck nearly all his life You know it drove Mama crazy bein' a trucker's wife The part she couldn't handle was the bein' alone I guess she needed more to hold than just a telephone Papa called Mama each and every night Just to ask her how she was and if us kids were alright Mama would wait for that call to come in When Daddy'd hang, up she was gone again Mama was a looker, Lord, how she shined Papa was a good one, but the jealous kind Papa loved Mama, Mama loved men Mama's in the graveyard, Papa's in the pen Well, it was bound to happen and one night it did Papa came home and it was just us kids He had a dozen roses and a bottle of wine If he was lookin' to surprise us, he was doin' fine I heard him cry for Mama up and down the hall Then I heard a bottle break against the bedroom wall That old diesel engine made an eerie sound When Papa fired it up and headed into town Oh, the picture in the paper showed the scene real well Papa's rig was buried in the local motel The desk clerk said he saw it all real clear He never hit the brakes and he was shiftin' gears Mama was a looker, Lord, how she shined Papa was a good one, but the jealous kind Papa loved Mama, Mama loved men Mama's in the graveyard, Papa's in the pen
Well I'm shamemeless when it comes to loving you I'll do anything you want me to I'll do anything at all And I'm standing here for all the world to see Oh baby that's what's left of me Don't have very far to fall You know now I'm not a man who's ever been Insecure about the world I've been livin' in I don't break easy I have my pride But if you need to be satisfied I'm shameless, oh honey I don't have a prayer Every time I see you standin' there I go down upon my knees And I'm changin' swore I'd never compromise Oh but you convinced me otherwise I'll do anything you please You see in all my life I've never found What I couldn't resist what I couldn't turn down I could walk away from anyone I ever knew But I can't walk away from you I have never let anything have this much control over me I work too hard to call my life my own And I've made myself a world and it's worked so perfectly But it's your world now I can't refuse I've never had so much to lose Oh I'm shameless You know it should be easy for a man who's strong To say he's sorry or admit when he's wrong I've never lost anything I've ever missed But I've never been in love like this It's out of my hands I'm shameless, I don't have the power now I don't want it anyhow So I got to let it go Oh I'm shameless, shameless as a man can be You make a total fool of me I just wanted to you to know Oh I'm shameless I just wanted you to know Oh I'm shameless Oh I'm down on my knees... shameless
There's a fire burning bright At our house tonight Slow music playing And soft candlelight On her lips I keep tasting The warm, red wine I'm there in her arms But it's all in my mind The snow is piled high on the highway tonight I'm a ship lost at sea on this ocean of white 18 wheels anchored somewhere out of Dover I wish I could hold her, instead of huggin' this old, cold shoulder This old highway Is like a woman sometimes She can be your best friend But she's the real jealous kind She's the lady that leads me To the life I dream of And she's the mistress that keeps me From the ones that I love The snow is piled high on the highway tonight I'm a ship lost at sea on this ocean of white 18 wheels anchored somewhere out of Dover I wish I could hold her, instead of huggin' this old, cold shoulder God, I wish I could hold her, instead of huggin' this old, cold shoulder
She was a girl on a wagon train Headed west across the plains The train got lost in a summer storm They couldn't move west and they couldn't go home Then she saw him ridin' through the rain He took charge of the wagons and he saved the train And she looked down and her heart was gone The train went west but she stayed on In Lonesome Dove A farmer's daughter with a gentle hand A blooming rose in a bed of sand She loved the man who wore a star A Texas Ranger known near and far So they got married and they had a child But times were tough and the west was wild So it was no surprise the day she learned That her Texas man would not return To Lonesome Dove Back to back with the Rio Grande A Christian woman in the devil's land She learned the language and she learned to fight But she never learned how to beat the lonely nights In Lonesome Dove Lonesome Dove She watched her boy grow into a man He had an angel's heart and the devil's hand He wore his star for all to see He was a Texas lawman legacy Then one day, word blew into town It seemed the men that shot his father down Had robbed a bank in Jerico The only thing 'tween them and Mexico Was Lonesome Dove The shadows stretched across the land As the shots rang out down the Rio Grande And when the smoke had finally cleared the street The men lay at the ranger's feet But legend tells to this very day (legend tells to this very day) That shots were comin' from an alleyway Though no one knows who held the gun There ain't no doubt if you ask someone In Lonesome Dove Back to back with the Rio Grande A Christian woman in the devil's land She learned the language and she learned to fight But she never learned how to beat the lonely nights In Lonesome Dove Lonesome Dove
You know a dream is like a river Ever changin' as it flows And a dreamer's just a vessel That must follow where it goes Trying to learn from what's behind you And never knowing what's in store Makes each day a constant battle Just to stay between the shores And I will sail my vessel 'Til the river runs dry Like a bird upon the wind These waters are my sky I'll never reach my destination If I never try So, I will sail my vessel 'Til the river runs dry Too many times we stand aside And let the waters slip away Till what we put off till tomorrow Has now become today So don't you sit upon the shoreline And say you're satisfied Choose to chance the rapids And dare to dance the tide Yes, I will sail my vessel 'Til the river runs dry Like a bird upon the wind These waters are my sky I'll never reach my destination If I never try So, I will sail my vessel 'Til the river runs dry And there's bound to be rough waters And I know I'll take some falls But with the good lord as my captain I can make it through them all Yes, I will sail my vessel 'Til the river runs dry Like a bird upon the wind These waters are my sky I'll never reach my destination If I never try So, I will sail my vessel 'Til the river runs dry Yes, I will sail my vessel 'Til the river runs dry 'Til the river runs dry

I burned my hand and I cut my face Heaven knows how long it's been Since I've felt so out of place Wonderin' if I would fit in Debbie and Charlie said they'd be here by nine And Deb said she might bring a friend Just my luck, they're right on time So, here I go again I'm gonna smile my best smile And I'm gonna laugh like it's goin' out of style Look into her eyes and pray, that she don't see That learnin' to live again is killin' me A little café, a table for four But there's just conversation for three I like the way she let me get the door And I wonder what she thinks of me Debbie just whispered, "You're doin' fine" And I wish that I felt the same She's asked me to dance, now her hand's in mine Oh, my God, I've forgotten her name But I'm gonna smile my best smile And I'm gonna laugh like it's goin' out of style Look into her eyes and pray, that she don't see This learning to live again is killing me Now here we are, beneath her porch light And I say, "What a great time it's been" A kiss on the cheek, a whisper goodnight And I say, "Can I see you again?" And she just smiles her best smile And she laughs like it's goin' out of style Looks into my eyes and says, "We'll see" All this learning to live again is killin' me God, this learning to live again is killin' me
I went to work for her that summer A teenage kid so far from home She was a lonely widow woman Hell bent to make it on her own We were a thousand miles from nowhere Wheat fields as far as I could see Both needing something from each other Not knowing yet what that might be 'Til she came to me one evening Hot cup of coffee and a smile In a dress that I was certain She hadn't worn in quite a while There was a difference in her laughter There was a softness in her eyes And on the air there was a hunger Even a boy could recognize She had a need to feel the thunder To chase the lightning from the sky To watch a storm with all its wonder Raging in her lover's eyes She had to ride the heat of passion Like a comet burning bright Rushing headlong in the wind Out where only dreams have been Burning both ends of the night That summer wind was all around me Nothing between us but the night When I told her that I'd never She softly whispered "That's alright" And then I watched her hands of leather Turn to velvet in a touch There's never been another summer When I have ever learned so much We had a need to feel the thunder To chase the lightnin' from the sky To watch a storm with all its wonder Ragin' in each others eyes We had to ride the heat of passion Like a comet burnin' bright Rushin' headlong in the wind Out where only dreams have been Burnin' both ends of the night I often think about that summer The sweat, the moonlight and the lace And I have rarely held another When I haven't seen her face And every time I pass a wheat field And watch it dancin' with the wind Although I know it isn't real I just can't help but feel Her hungry arms again She had a need to feel the thunder To chase the lightnin' from the sky To watch a storm with all its wonder Ragin' in her lover's eyes She had to ride the heat of passion Like a comet burnin' bright Rushin' headlong in the wind Out where only dreams have been Burnin' both ends of the night Rushin' headlong in the wind Out where only dreams have been Burnin' both ends of the night
We call them cool Those hearts that have no scars to show The ones that never do let go And risk it the tables being turned We call them fools Who have to dance within the flame Who chance the sorrow and the shame That always come with getting burned But you got to be tough when consumed by desire 'Cause it's not enough just to stand outside the fire We call them strong Those who can face this world alone Who seem to get by on their own Those who will never take the fall We call them weak Who are unable to resist The slightest chance love might exist And for that forsake it all They're so hell bent on giving, walking a wire Convinced it's not living if you stand outside the fire Standing outside the fire Standing outside the fire Life is not tried it is merely survived If you're standing outside the fire There's this love that is burning Deep in my soul Constantly yearning to get out of control Wanting to fly higher and higher I can't abide standing outside the fire Standing outside the fire Standing outside the fire Life is not tried it is merely survived If you're standing outside the fire Standing outside the fire Standing outside the fire Life is not tried it is merely survived If you're standing outside the fire Standing outside the fire Standing outside the fire Life is not tried it is merely survived If you're standing outside the fire
"The Night I Called The Old Man Out" The dining room fell silent I can't believe what I just said I just told my dad he's full of it And I watched his face turn red And I should've said, "I'm sorry" But I matched him shout for shout I can still hear that screen door slammin' The night I called him out He said, "Son it's gonna hurt me more than it hurts you" But somehow I couldn't help but have my doubts 'Cause I'd seen my older brothers crawl back in the house Each time they called the old man out Fist to fist and eye to eye Standin' toe to toe He would've let me walk away But I just would not let it go Years of my frustration Had let me to this night Now he'll pay for all the times that he's been right He said, "Son it's gonna hurt me more than it hurts you" But somehow I couldn't help but have my doubts 'Cause I'd seen my older brothers crawl back in the house Each time they called the old man out It was over in a minute That's when I realized The blood came from my mouth and nose But the tears came from his eyes And in memory of that fateful night I know the greatest pain was his And I just pray some day I'm half the man he is He said, "Son it's gonna hurt me more than it hurts you" But somehow I couldn't help but have my doubts 'Cause I'd seen my older brothers crawl back in the house Each time they called the old man out Just like my older brothers I crawled back in the house The night I called the old man out

Moonlight on canvas, midnight and wine Two shadows starting to softly combine The picture they're painting Is one of the heart And to those who have seen it It's a true work of art Oh, the red strokes Passions uncaged Thundering moments of tenderness rage Oh, the red strokes Tempered and strong Burning the night like the dawn Steam on the window, salt in a kiss Two hearts have never pounded like this Inspired by a vision That they can't command Erasing the borders With each brush of a hand Oh, the red strokes Passions uncaged Thundering moments of tenderness rage Oh, the red strokes Tempered and strong Burning the night like the dawn Oh, the blues will be blue and the jealousies green But when love picks its shade it demands to be seen Oh, the red strokes Passions uncaged Thundering moments of tenderness rage Oh, the red strokes Fearlessly drawn Burning the night like the dawn Oh, the red strokes Passions uncaged Thundering moments of tenderness rage Oh, the red strokes Fearlessly drawn Burning the night like the dawn Steam on the window, salt in a kiss Two hearts have never pounded like this
I spent last night in the arms of a girl in Louisiana! And though I'm out on the highway My thoughts are still with her Such a strange combination of a woman and a child Strange situation stoppin' every hundred miles Callin' Baton Rouge A replay of last night's events roll through my mind Except a scene or two erased by sweet red wine And I see a truck stop sign ahead, so I change lanes I need a cup of coffee and a couple dollars change Callin' Baton Rouge Operator, won't you put me on through? I gotta send my love down to Baton Rouge Hurry up, won't you put her on the line?

Pushin' horns weren't easy like the movie said it was And I don't recall no dance hall girls Or hotel rooms with rugs You worked hot and tired and nasty Rode your pony's head too low There were all the nights you couldn't sleep 'Cause it was too damn cold And you'd sing "Strawberry Roan" and "Little Joe" Like the time we hit the river And the rains began to fall And the water was risin' so damn fast We thought it'd drown us all We lost a lot of steers that day And four or five good mounts But when all the boys rode into camp We knew that's what counts And we sang, yippie ti yi yay and "Amazing Grace" Or the night they broke behind us And then took us by surprise I whistled out to bonner, I seen the terror in his eyes And he rode for all his horse would ride And I know he done his best But he crossed over Jordan ridin' Dunny to his death And we sang "Bringing in the Sheaves" and "The Rugged Cross" So when you see the cowboy, he's not ragged by his choice He never meant to bow them legs Or put that gravel in his voice He's just chasin' what he really loves And what's burnin' in his soul Wishin' to God that he'd been born a hundred years ago Still singin' "Strawberry Roan" and "Little Joe"
On the eighth day God noticed a problem For there below Him stood a cowboy alone Stubborn and proud, reckless and loud God knew he'd never make it on his own So God looked out all over creation And listened as that cowboy prayed God took passion and thunder Patience and wonder then He sent down The best thing that God ever made Cowboys and angels leather and lace Salt of the earth meets heavenly grace Cowboys and angels tested and tried It's a long way to heaven And one hell of a ride Nothin's changed since the dawn of creation For you will find them together today And only heaven above them knows why she loves him But he must be the reason she don't fly away Cowboys and angels leather and lace Salt of the earth meets heavenly grace Cowboys and angels tested and tried It's a long way to heaven And one hell of a ride It's a long way to heaven And one hell of a ride

She dropped her boy at school on time One less worry on her mind Now it's off to work and on the radio Come's an old familiar song And then the D.J.'s voice comes on And say's he's back in town tonight for one last show Her eyes well up with tears God, could it be? It's been ten years Since that autumn night outside the county fair When two strangers shared a night And in the darkness found a light That to this day is still alive and burning there He asked her twice to come along They said goodbye at the break of dawn 'Cause you can't hold back the wind And if it's meant to be again Then someday he'll find his way back to her arms The marquee misspelled his name And not too many people came But that didn't matter to them They laughed and loved all through the night And as they faced the morning light They found themselves standing there again And he asked her twice to come along They said goodbye at the break of dawn As his bus left out, she cried With him standing by her side That ol' wind had once again found its way home Someday he'll tell her 'bout the money he hid And someday she'll tell him that the boy is his kid For right now they're both in love The only thing they're thinkin' of Is that they're finally where their hearts have always been
They packed up all his buckles and shipped his saddle to his dad And by the way the house looked, she must have took it bad The workers come on Monday to fix the door and patch the wall They say she just went crazy the night she got the call Well, he was up in Wyoming and drew a bull no man could ride He promised her he'd turn out, well, it turned out that he lied And all the dreams that they'd been livin' in the California sand Died right there beside him in Cheyenne They she just went crazy, screamin' out his name She ran out into the ocean and to this day they claim That if you go down by the water you'll see her footprints in the sand 'Cause every night she walks the beaches of Cheyenne They never found her body, just her diary by the bed It told about the fight they had and the words that she had said When he told her he was ridin', she said, "Then I don't give a damn If you never come back from Cheyenne" They she just went crazy, screamin' out his name She ran out into the ocean and to this day they claim That if you go down by the water you'll see her footprints in the sand 'Cause every night she walks the beaches of Cheyenne Nobody can explain it, some say she's still alive They've even claimed they've seen her on the shoreline late at night 'Cause if you go down by the water, you'll see her footprints in the sand 'Cause every night she walks the beaches of Cheyenne Yes, every night she walks the beaches of Cheyenne
When the rain is blowing in your face And the whole world is on your case I would offer you a warm embrace To make you feel my love When the evening shadows and the stars appear And there is no one to dry your tears I could hold you for a million years To make you feel my love I know you haven't made your mind up yet But I would never do you wrong I've known it from the moment that we met There's no doubt in my mind where you belong I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue I'd go crawling down the avenue There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do To make you feel my love Storms are raging on a rolling sea Down the highway of regret Winds of change are blowing wild and free Yeah huh But you ain't seen nothing like me yet There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do Go to the ends of the earth for you Make you happy, make your dreams come true To make you feel my love
They say mother earth is breathing With each wave that finds the shore Her soul rises in the evening For to open twilights door Her eyes are the stars in heaven Watching o'er us all the while And her heart it is in Ireland Deep within the Emerald Isle. We are forty against hundreds In someone elses bloody war We know not why we're fighting Or what we're dying for They will storm us in the morning When the sunlight turns the sky Death is waiting for its dance now Fate has sentenced us to die. (chorus) Ireland I am coming home I can see your rolling fields of green And fences made of stone. I am reaching out won't you take my hand I'm coming home Ireland. Oh the captain he lay bleeding I can hear him calling me These men are yours now for the leading Show them to their destiny And as I look up all around me I see the ragged tired and torn I tell them to make ready 'Cause we're not waiting for the morn. *chorus* Now the fog is deep and heavy As we forge the dark and fear We can hear their horses breathing As in silence we draw near There are no words to be spoken Just a look to say good-bye I draw a breath and night is broken As I scream our battle cry. *chorus* Yes I am home Ireland We Were Forty Against Hundreds.....
I can hear that highway calling As I watch the sunrise crawling Across her shoulder This is usually goodbye And yet those words I just can't find Here as I hold her She's like no other woman That I have ever known before And it ain't me to see the morning sun From this side of the door Why ain't I running? Why ain't I gone? How does she hold me Without holding on? In love or a fight She's stronger than strong Something's not right If there ain't nothing wrong It's got me wondering: Why ain't I running? Why ain't I gone? All those words I left behind me Praying they would never find me And my freedom But if they stood right here beside me They would never recognise me For all that she's done Once happiness was only Whenever I was on my own So now why do I feel lonely Any time that I'm alone? Why ain't I running? Why ain't I gone? How does she hold me Without holding on? In love or a fight She's stronger than strong Something's not right When there ain't nothing wrong It's got me wondering Why ain't I running? No, they've never built a wall that high Or made a chain that strong And God ain't never made a place I felt like I belong Why ain't I running? Why ain't I gone? How does she hold me Without holding on? In love or a fight She's stronger than strong Something's not right When there ain't nothing wrong It's got me wondering: Why ain't I running? Why ain't I gone?

Sometimes I tell you the way that I feel I swear that I'm going crazy Keep telling myself it ain't that big a deal It's better than pushing up daisies I felt the arrow from death's fatal quiver Come so close it actually grazed me I bled the blood and I felt the cold shiver God only knows how he saved me There's two dates in time that they'll carve on your stone And everyone knows what they mean What's more important is the time that is known And that little dash there in between That little dash there in between Sometimes my hear is as true as a dove But sometimes my heart it betrays me So I draw my sword for to fight for my love But without a whisper she slays me My mother died but somehow she keeps living She'll never cease to amaze me My dad turns his back on each day that he's given 'Cause he'd rather be pushing up daisies There's two dates in time that they'll carve on your stone And everyone knows what they mean What's more important is the time that is known And that little dash there in between Yeah, that little dash there in between
One light blinking off and on Blood of life in this town is gone Lost all its pieces but the pawn Tomorrow stopped coming with the dawn In my dreams, I've seen Things that only seem to happen on the silver screen When it's over there's no walking out 'Cause I've been all they talk about 'Cause what ain't goin' down on main street Never did the things I thought I would Woulda left just didn't know I could If things don't work out like they should It ain't for better but it's for good In my dreams, I've seen Things that only seem to happen on the silver screen When it's over there's no walking out 'Cause I've been all they talk about 'Cause what ain't goin' down on main street I went too early with a friend of mine Just to see what it was all about Hit the freeway and it blew my mind I had to find a way of gettin' out She said, they say, "Hey you gotta live a little" In my mind, I'd find lost ain't living Even there in the middle of main street Yeah Never did the things I thought I would Woulda left just didn't know I could If things don't work out like they should It ain't for better but it's for good 'Cause in my dreams I've seen Things that only seem to happen on the silver screen When it's over there's no walking out 'Cause I've been all they talk about 'Cause what ain't goin' down In my dreams I've seen Things that only seem to happen on the silver screen When it's over there's no walking out 'Cause I've been all they talk about 'Cause what ain't goin' down on main street
She walked onto the job site We damn near died She was a young man's dream Full of college and pride And I called her a kid And I guess it made her mad She said don't call me kid pops and I won't call you Dad So I guess you could say we hit it off right from the start That much difference in age it ain't a question of hot One day after work While she was waiting outside Said we got to talk So we went for a ride She said I'm tired of boys I'm tired of first dates And I'm tired of toys I want a lover that will understand Someone who will touch me with a knowing hand I am tired of feeling emptiness inside I want to be the one left satisfied I looked around and now I've made my choice I'm tired of big talk and I'm tired of noise I'm tired of boys Well I sat there for a moment And I took a deep breath I told her I was flattered But most of all I was scared to death I bet we talked for hours 'Bout the demons that we dread Then we went back to her place and put our fears to rest Well the boys still talk about her Though she has moved on down the line They just can't figure out why she's in town from time to time They bet she's got a lover I never say a word I just smile and keep my head down and bless the day I heard She said I'm tired of boys I'm tired of first dates And I'm tired of toys I want a lover that will understand Someone who will touch me with a knowing hand I am tired of feeling emptiness inside I want to be the one left satisfied I looked around and now I've made my choice I'm tired of big talk and I'm tired of noise I'm tired of boys I'm tired of boys I'm tired of boys

Was the captain of the team his senior year In his eyes, on his helmet, he had no fear Down by a six-ball on the ten Said huddle up boys we've got a game to win He snapped the ball, he looked left and right Nobody was open so he tucked in tight And before them boys hanging on to him The clock ran out as he ran it in And the whole town cheered And his mama cried And they rushed downfield And they raised him high Got his picture in the paper and the headline read "All-American Comeback Kid" He was recruited by the best schools in the land He decided he would sign with his Uncle Sam Kissed his mama goodbye in their living room Said, dad, don't worry I'll be home soon And the whole town cheered And his mama cried And they lined the street Just to say goodbye Got his picture in the paper and the headline read "Come Back, All-American Kid" Three tours of duty and a silver star They brought him back home with his battle scars He stopped off the plane in his combat boots And he saluted the red, the white and blue And the whole town cheered And his mama cried Another hometown boy Made it home alive Got his picture in the paper and the headline read "Welcome Back, All-American Kid" Yeah, this song is for those who never did Come back all-American kids
Worn out vacant motel sign Run down bedroom 209 Tonight that's where I'll try to find Some rest Whiskey bottle on the floor King James Bible from the drawer Neither won but Lord they've done their best They can't stop the thought of you Like a freight train passing through Feel the rumbling Hear the roar My heart it crumbles Like a thousand nights before And the driving rain of a midnight train passing through The wheels are turning in my soul Her memory's burning black as coal And it's like I'm chained to a midnight train passing through All night long Til it's dawn Then she's gone Heatwaves on the rolling hills Rise like ghosts of love that's dead And haunt this lonesome highway of regret Can't slow down I can't look back Until this train runs out of track You can't outrun that one you can't forget It's like I'm frozen in this dream While she's closing, gaining speed Feel the rumbling Hear the roar My heart it crumbles Like a thousand nights before And the driving rain of a midnight train passing through The wheels are turning in my soul Her memory's burning black as coal And it's like I'm chained to a midnight train passing through All night long Til it's dawn Then she's gone Feel the rumbling Hear the roar My heart it crumbles Like a thousand nights before And the driving rain of a midnight train passing through The wheels are turning in my soul Her memory's burning black as coal It's like I'm chained to a midnight train passing through All night long Til it's dawn Then she's gone
People Loving People - Garth Brooks Doctor you ain't got a pill For whatever's making this world I'll You can't get forgiveness at the store And peace it's a politician's war You won't find no resolution In the bottom of a bottle In the stars or Aristotle The only answer to the problem is People loving people That's the enemy of everything that's evil Ain't no quick fix at the End of a needle It's just people loving people Words aren't what they seem to be Talk is cheap and lies are free We fear what we don't understand And we've been scared since time began All the colors and the cultures Circle 'round us on a spindle It'd a complicated riddle But the solution is so simple It's people loving people That's the enemy of everything That's evil Ain't no quick fix At the end of a needle It's just people loving people You can pawn it off on Kings and queens And those behind the curtain Say one can't make a difference In a world so full of hurting But I believe the remedy Starts right here with you and me People loving people That's the enemy of everything That's evil Ain't no quick fix At the end of a needle It's just people loving people It's just people loving people It's just people loving people
He didn't ask. He didn't pry He just held the ice that covered my black eye And when that girl broke my heart We just threw that baseball back and forth 'til dark And when I started playin' guitar and didn't have a clue He wanted to protect me but somehow my father knew You can cry for 'em Live and die for 'em You can help them find their wings But you can't fly for 'em 'Cause if they're not free to fall Then they're not free at all And though you just can't Bear the thought of letting go You pick 'em up. you dust 'em off You send 'em on down the road A little kiss on a skinned up knee From playin' soccer, riding bikes and climbing trees And when bad dreams filled their heads I chased the monsters out from underneath their beds I guess I always knew those days would end But the hardest thing I've ever learned has been You can cry for 'em Live and die for 'em You can help them find their wings But you can't fly for 'em 'Cause if they're not free to fall Then they're not free at all And though you just can't Bear the thought of letting go You pick 'em up, you dust 'em off You send 'em on down the road You can cry for 'em Live and die for 'em And even though it's gonna break your heart You let 'em go. You pick 'em up, you dust 'em off You hold 'em close and you pray a lot You send 'em on down the road
