That morning sun was burnin' in my eyes
I could see a brand new day And all the hurt and anger weighin' on my heart Had begun to drift away I saw it written on a church marquee as I drove into town Said today's a new beginning friend And I had to laugh out loud, 'cause there's no doubt I'm a brand new me I've been shattered by the storm but I survived I'm a brand new me I found a revelation in the tears I cried I opened up my eyes Oh, what a change I see I'm a brand new me There's a warrior and a victim living deep Inside all of us We have to choose to fight or surrender When the world beats us up I know where my weakness lies, but I know it's a fight that I can win I may get broken trying to get up But I can't wait to start again, I'm gonna start again I'm a brand new me I've been shattered by the storm but I survived I'm a brand new me I found a revelation in the tears I cried I opened up my eyes Oh, what a change I see I'm a brand new me Days come and go, yeah they come and go like a road with no end Hope fades but never dies Just look at me catchin' my second wind I'm a brand new me I've been shattered by the storm but I survived I'm a brand new me I found a revelation in the tears I cried I opened up my eyes Oh, what a change I see I'm a brand new me I'm a brand new me I'm a brand new me I'm a brand new me |

She didn't see me see her cryin'
As she sat there by the window On a southbound Greyhound leavin' town The hardest thing I've ever done Was to walk away and let that woman go 'Cause she came close to turnin' me around Now I know she missed her mama 'Cause that's the kind of life she comes from Ain't no kinda life I'm ever gonna have She said she'd call me from the station But I'll be gone before she gets there And I'll see her every time I'm lookin' back Heaven knows I ain't no angel And I don't always do the right thing And right now I know that she don't understand But I'll sleep better knowin' The only thing I ever loved Is on that bus to Birmingham Tonight I'll slip back in the shadows And I'll sip a glass of whiskey And I'll try to keep from whisperin' her name But there's some highways I ain't driven And there's some towns that I ain't lived in And there's some times that I can't get out of the rain And Lord I can't bear to break Another promise that I made her So I made out like I wanted her to go And I'm better off believin' That she's better off without me 'Cause I don't want her to see me do her wrong Heaven knows I ain't no angel And I don't always do the right thing And right now I know that she don't understand But I'll sleep better knowin' The only thing I ever loved Is on that bus to Birmingham Heaven knows I don't always do the right thing And right now I know that she don't understand But I'll sleep better knowin' The only thing I ever loved Is on that bus to Birmingham |

I've worked out on the road
Hammered nails all in a row I've worked on cars, and I've sold things too All I need is this pickup truck A little bit of love And a whole lot of luck Come Friday night I know just what to do I hear a big ole crowd Screaming loud, bartender says last call Come on back tomorrow night I'm sure we'll have a ball I'm just an ordinary guy all week long Till I step inside this bar I'm a genuine, certified, honky tonk till I die Weekend superstar When the weekend's done and Monday comes It's back to the same ole grind I work hard all week for a little bitty check The government says ain't mine When the whistle blows I'll be on my toes, headed back to the bar I'm a genuine, certified, honky tonk till I die Weekend superstar I hear a big ole crowd Screaming loud, bartender says last call Come on back tomorrow night I'm sure we'll have a ball I'm just an ordinary guy all week long Till I step inside this bar I'm a genuine, certified, honky tonk till I die Weekend superstar |

It sure is nice
Sittin' on this porch Pickin' these old time songs No matter how far I get from here This place still feels like home Remember all those summer nights We'd talk about life and such Well Dad, I've come to realize I haven't said enough Thanks for the G chord Teachin' me about the good Lord Givin' me that old Ford When I turned sixteen Thanks for hangin' in there When I was goin' nowhere Thanks for never Changin' that lock on the front door Thanks for the G chord That flat top Martin You gave me back then You know I've still got it now I keep it locked up In that same ol' case You used to tote around Sometimes when the crowd is quiet I'll bring it out again And play the first song you taught me Back when I was ten Thanks for the G chord Teachin' me about the good Lord Givin' me that old Ford When I turned sixteen Thanks for hangin' in there When I was goin' nowhere Thanks for never Changin' that lock on the front door Thanks for the G chord Thanks for hangin' in there When I was goin' nowhere Thanks for never Changin' that lock on the front door Thanks for the G chord |

My love for you has spread across
My every move, my every thought Like a fire the wind has caught As I begin To give you all of who I am Your every touch is my command When once again it seems I've loved you all I can Even then my heart will pound So loud the world will hear the sound Of how I couldn't love you more And even then Each night will bring another day Another chance for me to say Your arms are all I'm living for and loving in And even then the farthest star Will find us anywhere we are I will love you till the end And even then I won't know how to tell you this But I will say with every kiss No man has ever loved like this Or will again And when your auburn hair turns gray And there are lines across your face That map each moment and each place Our love has been Even then my heart will pound So loud the world will hear the sound Of how I couldn't love you more And even then Each night will bring another day Another chance for me to say Your arms are all I'm living for and loving in And even then the farthest star Will find us anywhere we are I will love you till the end And even then Yes I will love you till the end And even then |

Early in the morning with your hair all a mess Oh baby, that's what I like about you I like the funny way you wrinkle your nose I like the color that you paint your toes Oh honey, that's what I like about you And you know that I love you I'm so proud to be your man And I love the way you love me too Just the way I am, that's what I like about you It's funny honey, but I swear it's true I love every crazy little thing you do Oh darlin', that's what I like about you I like it when you start to sing along And you got nothin' but the radio on Oh mercy, that's what I like about you Oh baby, oh honey, oh darlin', oh mercy You know it's true, that's what I like about you And you know that I love you I'm so proud to be your man And I love the way you love me too Just the way I am, that's what I like about you That's what I like about you That's what I like about you Oh you know it's true |

That's not her picture
I wish it was It came with the wallet I keep it because It reminds me of her It reminds me of us But that's not her picture I haven't replaced it I don't know why It may be the blonde hair It may be the smile It brings back the feeling For a little while But that's not her picture I know it's wrong, it's a total stranger A photo from the discount store But her picture's home in a thousand pieces Scattered on the bedroom floor She might have her eyes Might have her face Might look like her In so many ways It fools the heart It fills the space But that's not her picture I know it's wrong, it's a total stranger A photo from the discount store But her picture's home in a thousand pieces Scattered on the bedroom floor She might have her eyes Might have her face Might look like her In so many ways It fools the heart It fills the space But that's not her picture That's not her picture I wish it was It came with the wallet I keep it because It reminds me of her It reminds me of us But that's not her picture Thank you for asking I miss her so much But that's not her picture |

Her parents never took the young girl to church
Never spoke of His Name Never read her His Word Two non-believers walkin' lost in this world Took their baby with them, what a sad little girl Her Daddy drank all day and Mommy did drugs Never wanted to play, or give kisses and hugs She'd watch the TV, and sit there on the couch While her Mom fell asleep, and her Daddy went out And the drinking and the fighting just got worse every night Behind their couch she'd be hiding, oh what a sad little life And like it always does, the bad just got worse With every slap and every curse Until her Daddy, in a drunken rage one night Used a gun on her Mom, and then took his life And some people from the city took the girl far away To a new Mom and a new Dad Kisses and hugs everyday Her first day of Sunday school, the teacher walked in And a small little girl stared at a picture of Him She said, I know that man there on that cross I don't know His name, but I know He got off Cause He was there in my old house And held me close to His side As I hid there behind our couch The night that my parents died |

I don't take your breath away
My tongue don't get tied when you walk in a room Every single minute of every day You don't dream about me, I don't think of you I'm not sayin' it can't happen that way Our life ain't no clich' We've got real love You weren't lookin' for a man Funny how your independence really turned me on Just the opposite of what we planned Everything that's so right was supposed to be wrong In all likelihood we shouldn't be together Now it's forever We've got real love We fuss and fight Make love so right We're up all night We've got real love This ain't no Hollywood movie scene, romance novelty Based on a story 'bout you and me We've got real love We fuss and fight Make love so right We're up all night We've got real love We've got real love |

Another night on this interstate
Seems like I've been on it everyday for years now Does it ever end On my way to another show Where I'll end up, I don't even know where I'm going Or where I've been Don't know why, don't know how But I keep comin' back for more It's my life, there's no doubt Guess I'll never know for sure But when I stand on the stage, and the curtain falls I love it all It's getting late, I think I'll lay it down Then I'll wake up in some other town and I'll wander To my hotel room I'll walk around just a-wastin' time Lookin' for a little peace of mind I bet I'll find it On an ole barstool Don't know why, don't know how But I keep comin' back for more It's my life, there's no doubt Guess I'll never know for sure But when I stand on the stage, and the curtain falls I love it all Don't know why, don't know how But I keep comin' back for more It's my life, there's no doubt Guess I'll never know for sure But when I stand on that stage and the curtain falls And the crowd wants to stay for one more song I love it all Another night on this interstate Seems like I've been on it everyday for years now I hope it never ends |
