Drinkin' dark whiskey,
Tellin' white lies, One leads to another, On a Saturday night, Don't ya cross your heart, Unless you hope to die, Drinkin' dark whiskey, Tellin' white lies Well the first drop burns But the second one goes down smooth, Then that old black label gets a hold of you, It loosens your tongue but it never tells the truth Drinkin' dark whiskey, Tellin' white lies, One leads to another, On a Saturday night, Don't ya cross your heart, Unless you hope to die, Drinkin' dark whiskey, Tellin' white lies When the bottle starts talkin' Be careful what he might say, He talks in the dark like he never would in the day, Then he gets in trouble just as soon as he gets away, Drinkin' dark whiskey, Tellin' white lies, One leads to another, On a Saturday night, Don't ya cross your heart, Unless you hope to die, Drinkin' dark whiskey, Tellin' white lies Well a little white lie don't mean anyone no good, When it's making the rounds all over the neighborhood, The next thing you know your all misunderstood, Drinkin' dark whiskey, Tellin' white lies, One leads to another, On a Saturday night, Don't ya cross your heart, Unless you hope to die, Drinkin' dark whiskey, Tellin' white lies |

Trying to keep a candle burning in a hurricane,
That's what it's like when you love me and you leave me this way, Like a dove crying out when he's lost the will to fly, Yeah, shackled down to the earth by your long chain of lies, Well I'll forgive you tomorrow if the sun doesn't shine, Let you back into my life when the oceans are dry, Take you back when every shade of the rainbow turns gray, But I just can't do it today, I can't do it today Well I can see you dancing in that strangers arms, My world hasn't stopped turning but it's falling apart, Every breath that I take's a little closer to sane, Yeah, they say that time is a healer but it's still a long, long ways a way Yeah I'll forgive you tomorrow if the sun doesn't shine, Let you back into my life when the oceans are dry, Take you back when every shade of the rainbow turns gray, But I just can't do it today, I can't do it today Don't want to do it today, Well there's a part of me that wishes I could just forget, But I haven't found the mercy yet, Ain't no mercy yet I'll forgive you tomorrow if the sun doesn't shine, Let you back into my life when the oceans are dry, Take you back when every shade of the rainbow turns gray, But I just can't do it today, I can't do it today, I just can't do it today, I just can't do it today, Don't want to do it today, Can't do it today, Not gonna do it today |

Well I never once
Backed down from a punch Well I'd take it square on the chin Well I found out fast A bully's just that You've got to stand up to him So I didn't cry when I got a black eye As bad as it hurt, I just grinned But when tough little boys grow up to be dads They turn into big babies again. Scared me to death When you took your first steps And I'd fall everytime you fell down Your first day of school, I cried like a fool And I followed your school bus to town Well I didn't cry, when Old Yeller died At least not in front of my friends But when tough little boys grow up to be dads They turn into big babies again Well I'm a grown man And as strong as I am Sometimes its hard to believe That one little girl, with little blonde curls Could totally terrify me If you were to ask My wife would just laugh She'd say "I know all about men How when tough little boys grow up to be dads They turn into big babies again" Well I know one day, I'll give you away And I'm gonna stand there and smile And when I get home, and I'm all alone Well, I'll sit in your room for a while Well I didn't cry when Old Yeller died At least not in front of my friends But when tough little boys grow up to be dads They turn into big babies again When tough little boys grow up to be dads They turn into big babies again. |

I saw you walking down the street last night,
I saw him walking by your side, I saw the way he stopped and held you tight, I saw the look in your eyes, Go on and tell him that you love him, Go on and show him he's the one, Go on and give him every sacred thing that you used to save for us, And see if I care, Look at the way you're tearing me apart baby, See if I care, Look at the tears falling in this heart baby, Go on go on go on, Yeah go on go on go on, And see if I care, I still can hear the way you whisper, Softly in my ear, I lay awake and I remember the way it felt to hold you near, Go on and run your fingers through his hair, Go on and lay by his side, Go on and wrap him in your dark surrender, And all your tender lies, And see if I care, Look at the way you're tearing me apart baby, See if I care, Look at the tears falling in this heart baby, Go on go on go on, Yeah go on go on go on, And see if I care, Look a the way you're tearing me apart baby, See if I care, Look at the tears falling in this heart baby, Go on go on go on, Yeah go on go on go on, Well go on, And see if I care See if I care See if I care See if I care |

Well this town has closed down way too early
And there's nothin' to do So I'm drivin' around in circles and I'm thinkin' about you Today I heard you got a new last name, Sure didn't know it was gonna hit me this way And the radio just keeps playin' all this songs about rain (rainy night in Georgia, Kentucky rain) Now there's all kinda songs about babies and love that goes right, But for some unknown reason nobody wants to play them tonight, Hey I hope it's sunny wherever you are, But that's sure not the picture tonight in my car, And it sure ain't easin' my pain all these songs like Rainy night in Georgia, Kentucky rain, Here comes that rainy day feelin' again, Blue eyes cryin' in the early mornin' rain, They go on and on and there's no two the same, Oh it would be easy to blame all these songs about rain Well I thought I was over you , But I guess maybe I'm not, 'cause when I let you go looks like lonely is all that I got, Guess I'll never know what could have been, Sure ain't helpin' this mood that I'm in, If they're gonna keep on playin' these songs like Rainy night in Georgia, Kentucky rain, Here comes that rainy day feelin' again, Blue eyes cryin' in the early mornin' rain, They go on and on, There's no two the same, Oh how I wish I could blame all these songs about rain Rainy night in Georgia, Kentucky rain, Here comes that rainy day feelin' again, Blue eyes cryin in the early mornin' rain, They go on and on, There's no two the same Rainy night in Georgia, Kentucky rain, Here comes that rainy day feelin' again, Blue eyes cryin' in the early mornin' rain, They go on and on, There's no two the same |

I can't stop your heart from breaking,
Can't make right mistakes we've made, Can't dry your crying eyes, For my little angels sake, I can't make the sun keep smiling, Or blow away the clouds, There's some things in this old world girl, I can't do nothing bout, But I can love you, Like I've always done, And when the hard times come a knocking, Honey you won't ever see me run, I won't leave you, When you need a friend, Can't make the bad days that much better, Baby than they've ever been, But I can love you, Can't hold back the ocean waves, Or stop a sinking ship, Can't make a mountain move, Or tell you how to live, But I can love you, Like I've always done, And when the hard times come a knocking, Honey you won't ever see me run, I won't leave you, When you need a friend, Can't make the bad days that much better, Baby than they've ever been, But I can love you, And I won't leave you, When you need a friend, Can't make the bad days that much better, Baby than they've ever been, But I can love you, But I can love you. |

Desperation's causing me,
To question every single word you say, The distance that keeps growing in between us, Girl just leaves me so afraid, Well you tried so hard to carry on, But I can tell there's something wrong these days, Well girl I've got to know the truth, Just give it to me straight, Don't' look away, Don't look away, Don't look away, When I ask you if you love me still, And if your gonna stay, Don't look away, Well I've known you long enough to know, You're trying not to let your feelings show, Lately when I hold you near, I still feel I'm sitting hear alone, This confusion setting in your mind, Blocking all the words you mean to say, Well girl I've got to know the truth, Just give it to me straight, Don't look away, Don't look away, Don't look away, When I ask you if you love me still, And if your gonna stay, Don't look away, Don't look away, Don't look away Well girl I've gotta know the truth, Just give it to me straight, Don't look away, When I ask you if you love me still, And if your gonna stay, Don't look away |

I sure do hope this is a long night,
Cause I've never felt one so right Each look into your eyes I fall in, A little more and more, Looks like we started us a fire, Wrapped up in flames of desire, With every touch their burning higher, Two shadows dancing on the wall [Chorus] With nothing on but the radio, Feel the music playing soft and slow, You and me and the lights down low, With nothing on but the radio We'll fall asleep here in the moonlight, In tangled sheets we?ll be here all night, And when we wake up in the morning, We might stay like this all day, Two people meant to be together, Two lovers dreaming of forever, And it just keeps on getting better, With every tender little kiss [Chorus] Two people meant to be together, Two lovers dreaming of forever, And it just keeps on getting better [Chorus] You and me and the lights down low, With nothing on but the radio |

To you I'm just the man who let you down,
The one who never gave you what you need, It's true I wasn't always around, Back when you were reaching out for me, I know you think I didn't care, You say I'm just the hurting kind, And I know you think my heart wasn't there, But I'm begging you to think it through one more time, Cause you don't know a thing about me, If you don't know how much I miss you, And you don't know a thing about me, Unless you know how much I need to be with you, Well I see the mistakes I made, The way I acted carelessly, But if you don't know how much I need your forgiveness, Then you don't know a thing about me, If I could just go back and make it right, And take the tears away you know I would, I've come to you with no excuse tonight, Just a prayer that I'll be understood, You tell me that I'm never gonna change, I'll always be the same old guy, You think there's nothing left for us to say, Before you write me off take a look in my eyes, Cause you don't know a thing about me, If you don't know how much I miss you, And you don't know a thing about me, Unless you know how much I need to be with you, Well I see the mistakes I made, The way I acted carelessly, But if you don't know how much I need your forgiveness, Then you don't know a thing about me, If you don't know how much I need your forgiveness, Then you don't know a thing about me, No you don't know a thing about me, You don't know a thing about me, Well you don't know a thing about me |

A showman's life,
Is a smokey bar, And the fevered chase, Of a tiny star, It's a hotel room, And a lonely wife, From what I've seen, Of a showman's life, Nobody told me about this part, They told me all about the pretty girls, And the wine, And the money, And the good times, There's no mention of, All the wear and tear, On an old honky tonker's heart, Well I might of known it, But nobody told me about this part, A boy will dream, As children do, Of a great white way, Until the dream comes true, And a phony smile, In a colored light, Is all there is, To a showman's life, Nobody told me about this part, Nobody told me about this part, They told me all about the pretty girls, And the wine, And the money, And the good times, There's no mention of, All the wear and tear, On an old honky tonker's heart, Well I might of known it, But nobody told me about this part, But nobody told me about this part, Nobody told me about this part, They told me all about the pretty girls, And the wine, And the money, And the good times, There's no mention of, All the wear and tear, On an old honky tonker's heart, Well I might of known it, But nobody told me about this part, Well I might of known it, But nobody told me about this part |
