Monday, hard to wake up Fill my coffee cup, I'm out the door Yeah, the freeway's standing still today It's gonna make me late, and thats for sure I'm running out of gas and out of time Never gonna make it there by nine [Chorus:] There's gotta be something more Gotta be more than this I need a little less hard time I need a little more bliss I'm gonna take my chances Taking a chance I might Find what I'm looking for There's gotta be something more Five years and there's no doubt That I'm burnt out, I've had enough So now boss man, here's my two weeks I'll make it short and sweet, so listen up I could work my life away, but why? I got things to do before I die [Repeat Chorus] Some believe in destiny, and some believe in fate I believe that happiness is something we create You best believe that I'm not gonna wait 'Cause there's gotta be something more I get home 7:30 the house is dirty, but it can wait Yeah, 'cause right now I need some downtime To drink some red wine and celebrate Armageddon could be knocking at my door But I ain't gonna answer that's for sure. There's gotta be something! [Repeat Chorus] |

I was born in the heart of a hurricane season In the house where my mamma was raised That old September wind feels just like a long lost friend And I I want to run through those cottonwood trees Fall asleep in a big bed of fresh fallen leaves And in every wind that blows there's a song of letting go It's not good-bye, it's hello When we met underneath the blue skies of summer And those summer skies turn into fall That sweet September wind made us so much more than friends One Night And we ran through those cottonwood trees We made love in a big bed of fresh fallen leaves And in every wind that blows there's an innocence that knows It's not good-bye, it's hello In the moment that one thing ends Is the same time that one begins And return as we must We are ashes to dust, amen. When the days of my youth have all faded And the memories are all that remain Let that old September wind take me back to where I've been So I I can run through those cottonwood trees And remember the smell of those fresh fallen leaves Now in every wind that blows there's a part of me that knows It's not good-bye, it's hello |

It ain't often I take time
To answer calls on the request line But this one says we're his best last chance So all you people in radio land Turn it up loud, loud as you can Help to carry these words from a desperate man Do you believe in love And that we were meant to be Two words can free us So repeat them after me 'I do' from a boy in love To a girl called Tennessee It's always scary when you find true love It hits like lightning from high above And you might only get one chance to say Do you believe in love And that we were meant to be Two words can free us So repeat them after me 'I do' from a boy in love To a girl called Tennessee He got scared and let her slip away Now he knows he's not afraid I put him on the air In case she's listening somewhere So take it to heart Keep it in mind Try to reach out through the telephone line Caller, you're on the air Say it so she hears Do you believe in love And that we were meant to be Two words can free us So repeat them after me 'I do' from a boy in love To a girl called Tennessee From a boy in love To a girl called Tennessee Tennessee |

"Down In Mississippi (Up To No Good)" Friday, payday, Lordy got to get away Had it with the wife thing, living on a shoe string What's a poor girl got to do just to have some fun? All these years without any help Guess what, honey, clothes just don't wash themselves! Neither do dishes, neither does the bathroom floor So, now if anyone asks, not that they would I'll be down in Mississippi and up to no good No more, what a bore, had enough, I'm out the door Headed for a breakdown, had it with the small town Gonna call Lisa, gonna call Carla Sue Now we're gonna let it roll, gonna let it rip Gonna get us a nice room down on the strip Not that we'll need it, there won't be any sleepin' tonight So, now if anyone asks, not that they would We'll be down in Mississippi and up to no good Hammer down, here we go Runnin' for the riverboat All you're gonna see is asses and elbows Luck's about to change for these three queens Tired of getting' jokers, deal us up kings Snake eyes, roll the dice, double down and hit me twice Cashin' in the big chips, gonna leave a big tip Hotter than a two dollar pistol, baby, I'm on fire So, now if anyone asks, not that they would I'll be down in Mississippi and up to no good If anyone asks, not that they would I'll be down in Mississippi and up to no good |

Oh I swear this town gets smaller everyday,
And I'm waiting for my chance. I'm gonna break away. I'm so sick and tired of being told what's good for me. People got lots of ideas, of who I'm supposed to be. [Chorus] Angel carry me, oh so far away. May my body never, touch the ground. And If I promise you that I'll be back someday, Will you set me free so I can fly away? Fly away, fly away Well most folks here well they don't dig too deep. They can't dream too big Cause they've got fields to keep I could walk away and leave my family. Or get buried alive in this legacy. [Chorus] I want to sleep under a different piece of sky I want to live a little bit before I die I want to be so close to heaven I see angels [Chorus] Fly away fly away |

[1st Verse] We drove all night to get to Corpus Christi My parents slept right through They never missed me We were far from sleepin' When the truth began to creep in That we weren't goin' home anytime soon [2nd Verse] The mornin' light sure took us by surprise We grabbed our clothes Watched a beautiful sunrise We were one together And we must have talked forever And it was then and there I realized that [Chorus] (And) I don't want to wait even one more night It's hard to slow it down when it feels so right Knees buckled, white knuckled We're holdin' on tight (holdin' on tight) (We're) travelin' at twice the speed of life (Yea, yea, yeah yeah) [3rd Verse] We worked our way through college waitin' tables Bought a little white house with a picket fence and cable I asked if he was ready To become a Mom and Daddy And then I found my answer in his eyes And he said... [Repeat Chorus] [Bridge] Now, our oldest girl is almost grown She's got a boyfriend of her own I heard her sneakin' out with him last night And if she's anything like me She's desperate to be wild and free We know now it's just a matter of time 'Til she says... [Chorus Out] |

<i>[1st Verse]</i>
Well, it's two miles East to West Only four miles North to South And when you pass the only red light You will see the pastor's house People look you in the eye And they smile at you and wave Yeah, they always take the time To stop and ask you, 'How's your day?' It's hard to say goodbye 'Cause baby, it's a good life <i>[2nd Verse]</i> At the high school football game Is where I got my first kiss I still feel the butterflies I still taste it on my lips And when we lost our Uncle Jake Back in 1983 We heard Daddy upstairs weepin' So we cried ourselves to sleep It's hard to say goodbye 'Cause baby, it's a good life <i>[Chorus]</i> Goodbye to mem'ries that I saved Goodbye to all the friends I made Goodbye to all the home I'll ever know Small town Jericho...(goodbye) <i>[Bridge]</i> And every road here looks the same This ol' town won't ever change And that's what I love the most And it's the reason I must go <i>[3rd Verse]</i> I put boxes on the porch Daddy puts them in the car Best to get the loadin' done Won't be easy in the dark 'Cause I'm leavin' after midnight And if anyone asks why I wanna wait 'til Mama's sleepin' 'Cause I can't bear to see her cry It's hard to say goodbye 'Cause baby, it's a good life <i>[Repeat Chorus]</i> |

Go ahead and take your best shot, Let 'er rip, give it all you've got, I'm laid out on the floor, but I've been here before, I may stumble, yeah I might fall, IM Only human but aren't we all? I might lose my way, but hear me when I say, I will stand back up, You'll know just the moment when I've had enough, Sometimes I'm afraid, and I don't feel that tough, But I'll stand back up, I've been beaten up and bruised, I've been kicked right off my shoes, Been down on my knees more times than you'd believe, When the darkness tries to get me, There's a light that just won't let me, It might take my pride, and tears may fill my eyes, But I'll stand back up, I've weathered all these storms, But I just turn them into wind, so I can fly, What don't kill you makes you stronger, When I take my last breath, That's when I'll just give up, So, go ahead and take your best shot, Let 'er rip, give it all you've got, You might win this round but you can't keep me down, 'Cause I'll stand back up, And you'll know just the moment when I've had enough, Sometimes I'm afraid and I don't feel that tough, But I'll stand back up, You'll know just the moment when I've had enough, Sometimes I'm afraid and I don't feel that tough, But I'll stand back up. |
