As a child I was told that I was destined to be nothing
Growing wild as I got older I fulfilled what had been said Hiding ignorance and fear I prayed nobody saw me bluffing But I was laying the foundation for a future I would dread Yeah Seems like every choice I made would somehow leave me second-guessing 'Bout the green grass I was passing racing toward the other side I thank God for the blessing That I finally learned this lesson: One Step in the right direction's worth a wasted mile behind Chorus: Singin' No more lookin' over my shoulder No more hangin' on to the past No more filling up my tomorrows With yesterday's sorrows No more lookin' over my shoulder I could chill a room with reasons why I would not give forgiveness To the people who had selfishly left me a wounded soul I kept dragging 'round those memories Like a ball and chain behind me Wonderin' why my troubles followed me wherever I would go Oh, but one night, sick and tired of being sick and tired I realized forgiveness was the only open road I swear I heard those shackles snap The moment that I took that path I never have one time looked back since the morning I arose Chorus I'm singin' No more lookin' over my shoulder No more hangin' on to the past No more filling up my tomorrows With yesterday's sorrows No more, no more, no... No more lookin' over my shoulder No more hangin' on to the past No more filling up my tomorrows With yesterday's sorrows No more lookin' over my shoulder |

Chorus:
I'm a little rough around the edges I didn't come out of no GQ magazine I don't use a lot of big words But I'm bent on love if you know what I mean I ain't in'trested in bein' politically correct I stand right up and say what I believe I'm a little rough around the edges, but I think I'm exactly what you need As you can see, I ain't all spit and polish And every hair on my head ain't in its place I ain't got no big degree from college And I guess to tell the truth I need a shave Chorus Whoa! Well you may think I'm just a KC plowboy Well just give me a chance to strut my stuff I don't shine like some pin-up poster cowboy But neither does a diamond when you pick it up Chorus I'm a little rough around the edges, but I think I'm exactly what you need Yeah! Yeah! Whoa! |

There's been times I've felt like half a man
Life's had me down on my knees Troubled times I don't understand why they happen to me I have struggled through the darkness and I have found the light of day Chorus: But if I lost you, there'd be no sunshine shining through I don't know what in the world I would do if I lost you Like a ship with no harbor like a bird with no wings Like a fish out of water a dreamer without a dream I have learned about losing I could lose most anything Chorus (2 x's) |

Five foot nine, long legs clear up to there
High heel shoes, short skirt with her shoulders bare It's easy to see she's got her style down pat Got a way of walkin' like a wild bobcat Well, you gotta love the Lord for makin' girls like that She likes pickup trucks and longnecks and she loves to dance She can steal your heart in a second with a single glance Skin tight jeans and a cowboy hat Hit a boy harder than a baseball bat Well you gotta love the Lord for makin' girls like that Well I wouldn't call myself a righteous man But I thank heaven every chance I can For sending Eve to Adam when this old world first began Well I wouldn't call myself a righteous man But I thank heaven every chance I can For sending Eve to Adam when this old world first began You can find them on a city street or down a country road Natural born beauties turning heads everywhere they go Take your breath away like a tire gone flat Make a man cry like a little spoiled brat Well you gotta love the Lord for makin' girls like that Yes, you gotta love the Lord for makin' girls like that Well, you gotta love the Lord for makin' girls like that |

You don't ask for much And I tremble at the touch of your sweet hand When I look into your eyes I realize I'm such a lucky man You've shown me love I never knew And there is nothing I won't do for you I'd almost given up On the hope of having someone of my own But you came into my life And you made this empty house into a home I could never ask for more And every day I'm thankful for you The first time that I held you girl I knew that it was real And now I wake up every morning Knowing what it's like to feel So much love for you As the years go passing by There'll be lows and highs That we'll go through But I can close my eyes and rest 'Cause come what may I'm blessed if I have you As time paints silver in our hair Just turn around, I'll still be there for you You've shown me love I never knew And there is nothing I won't do for you |

Girl I know you see me As a man who's strong and never filled with doubt But your love gives me courage You don't realize I can't be strong without And though I try to hide it You see right through my vulnerabilities So as long as you're beside me I'm all the man I'll ever need to be I find myself daydreamin' Longing hard to be your Superman But then my dreams are realized When your kiss tells me I already am Sweetheart, I may not ever know Exactly what it is you see in me And why you think, with all my faults I'm all the man I'll ever need to be And in my darkest hour You can always see the dawn Your trust in me has power Like none I've ever known Well I may get discouraged My worried mind gets tired and beaten down But I won't be depressed for long 'Cause you know how to get me off the ground I really shouldn't question You've shown me all I'll ever need to see I should just thank God in heaven I'm all the man I'll ever need to be I should just thank God in heaven I'm all the man I'll ever need to be |

Well it's Saturday night You're all dressed up in blue I've been watchin' you a while Maybe you're watchin' me too So somebody ran out Left someone's heart in a mess Well if you're ready for love Honey I'm tougher than the rest Some girls want a handsome Dan Or some good-lookin' Joe On their arm, some girls like A sweet-talking Romeo Well around here baby I learned you get what you can get So if you're ready for love Honey I'm tougher than the rest Well the road is dark And it's a thin, thin line But I want you to know I'll walk it for you any time Maybe your other boyfriends Couldn't pass the test But if you're ready for love Honey I'm tougher than the rest Well it ain't no secret I've been around a time or two Well I don't know baby Maybe you've been around too But there's another dance All you gotta do is say yes And if you're ready for love Honey I'm tougher than the rest If you're sure you're ready for love Honey I'm tougher than the rest |

Start the car, we gotta move This ain't no livin', this ain't no groove It's been a long, hard road Come on baby, drive it home Start the car Well, started out for paradise, ain't no promised land This ain't no kinda livin' for an honest workin' man There's people dyin' on the streets, they never make the news My love is livin' up on the hill, singin' the white boy blues Whoa yeah! Start the car, we gotta move This ain't no livin', this ain't no groove The city's rich, we're dirt poor, somewhere waitin' There's somethin' more Start the car Oh, yeah!

I know you're wonderin'
Just what I'm doin' 'round here On a mission of love I never come down to this side of town But I'm here on a mission of love Chorus: "Cause our little girl is cryin' your name And I've held her, but she only wants you And although I hate what you've become Little tears brought me here On a mission of love I don't know this man hangin' all over you But I know what he's got on his mind But if he's got a heart, darlin' he'll let you go 'Cause somebody else needs you tonight Chorus: And although I hate what you've become Little tears brought me here On a mission of love |

I spent years chasin' after
A restless wind callin' out my name I was wild-eyed and crazy With a spirit that could not be tamed I had no direction Lord knows that I've been lost a time or two But fate was there to guide me And lead me down the road to you There've been other women But all they did was occupy my time There was always somethin' missing That until you, I thought I'd never find Thought I knew what I was lookin' for But lookin' back I didn't have a clue All the love that was waiting at the end Of the road to you It was worth the tears And the long and lonely years That I went through Id relive the pain for the happiness I've gained And all the love I've found in you And when I hold you in my arms There's nothing in this world I'd rather do I just close my eyes and thank the Lord he led me Down the road to you It was worth the tears And the long and lonely years That I went through I'd relive the pain for the happiness I've gained And all the love I've found in you I spent years chasin' after A restless wind callin' out my name |
