Well you work and you slave
And you spend all day in your thankless job hen you jump in your Ford And you're door to door with the home-bound mob Then you pull in the drive and you hit the chair And the one that you love is waiting there And, hey That's what it's all about Hey, this is the life I couldn't live without It's a moment frozen there in time Where the reasons all begin to rhyme Where love's a little bigger And you finally start figuring out That's what it's all about Well, they won't go to bed Or do what you said or eat their food They cry and they fuzz and you can't even cuss 'cause they'll say it, too You're tired and you're numb And you're stressed and you're mad And she smiles and says 'I love you, Dad' And, hey That's what it's all about Hey, this is the life I couldn't live without It's a moment frozen there in time Where the reasons all begin to rhyme Where love's a little bigger And you finally start figuring out That's what it's all about |

I keep thinkin' any minute you'll be comin' home honey
I ain't seen nothin' of you in a month of sundays Tell me how long gone are you gonna be All you said was you had to get goin' Oh but baby I wouldn't mind knowin' just How long gone are you gonna be How am I supposed to make any plans When I still don't even understand If you're ever gonna come back home to me How long gone are you gonna be Maybe I didn't pay enough attention But I do believe you forgot to mention Just how long gone are you gonna be The phone ain't ringin', 'cause you still ain't callin' I ain't been hearin' your footsteps fallin' Tell me how long gone are you gonna be How am I supposed to make any plans When I still don't even understand If you're ever gonna come back home to me Tell me please How long gone are you gonna be Tell me how long gone are you gonna be |

Once I thought that love was something I could never do
Never knew that I could feel this much But this yearning in the deep part of my heart for you Is more than a reaction to your touch It's a perfect passion and I can't get enough [Chorus] The way you look, the way you laugh, The way you love with all you have, There ain't nothing 'bout you that don't do something for me The way you kiss, the way you cry, The way you move when you walk by There ain't nothing 'bout you (there ain't nothing bout you) That don't do something for me In my life I've been hammered by some heavy blows That never knocked me off my feet All you gotta do is smile at me and down I go And baby it's no mystery why I surrender Girl you got everything [Chorus] I love your attitude, your rose tattoo, your every thought Your smile, your lips and girl the list goes on and on and on [Chorus] The way you look, the way you laugh, The way you love with all you have, Your dance, your drive, you make me feel alive The way you talk, the way you tease By now I think you see There ain't nothing 'bout you that don't do something for me |

I know they say if you love somebody
You should set them free But it sure is hard to do It sure is hard to do I know they say if you don't come back again Then it's meant to be (so they say) Those words don't pull me through Cause I'm still in love with you I spend each day here waiting for a miracle But it's just you and me goin' through the mill climbin' up a hill <i>[CHORUS]</i> This is the long goodbye Somebody tell me why Two lovers in love can't make it Just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart No matter how hard I try I always make you cry Come on, baby, it's over?-let's face it All that's happening here is a long goodbye Sometimes I ask my heart did we really Give our love a chance (just one more chance) But I know without a doubt We turned it inside out And if we walked away It would make more sense But it tears me up inside Just to think we could still try How long must we keep running on a carousel Goin' round and round and never getting anywhere On a wing and prayer <i>[CHORUS]</i> Long goodbye Long goodbye |

Maybe it was the moonlight
The scent of you on the breeze Maybe it was your shadow that fell over me Such a beautiful stranger Eyes darker than coal Your first look crossed the desert Into my soul Mi Corzon perdido en ti My heart is lost to you You have captured my love completely My heart is lost to you Oh my heart is lost to you Maybe it was the music The way it moved with your hair Or the heat of the moment That hung in the air But when I saw you there dancing Mesmerized by the gaze There was some kind of magic That led me away <i>[chorus]</i> |

I forget where I'm goin' in my own house
I got myself in this, I'll get myself out I talk out loud, at the top of my voice I sing Whoa keep the faith, see what tomorrow brings I can't get over you Try as I may oh it no use My heart just can't leave you alone My mind won't believe you're gone I can't get over you I got a front row seat here to a fool's masquerade And that fool in the mirror keeps sayin' I'm doin' ok I stare at that door that you walked out It hits me hard and leaves no doubt I can't get over you Try as I may oh it no use My heart just can't leave you alone My mind won't believe you're gone I can't get over you I can't get over you Try as I may oh it no use My heart just can't leave you alone My mind won't believe you're gone I can't get over you |

I was raised off of Rural Route 3
Out past where the blacktop ends We'd walk to church on Sunday morning Race barefoot back to Johnson's fence That's where I first saw Mary On that roadside picking blackberries That summer I turned a corner in my soul Down that red dirt road [Chorus] It's where I drank my first beer It's where I found Jesus Where I wrecked my first car, I tore it all to pieces I learned the path to heaven Is full of sinners and believers Learned that happiness on earth Ain't just for high achievers I've learned, I've come to know There's life at both ends Of that red dirt road Her daddy didn't like me much In my shackled up GTO I'd sneak out in the middle of the night Throw rocks at her bedroom window We'd turn out the headlights Drive by the moonlight Talk about what the future might hold Down that red dirt road [Chorus] I went out into the world And I came back in I lost Mary, Oh I got her back again And driving home tonight, Feels like I've found a long lost friend [Chorus] |

Two broken hearts lonely looking like houses
Where nobody lives Two people each having so much pride inside Neither side forgives The angry words spoken in haste Such a waste of two lives It's my belief pride is the chief cause in the decline Of the number of husbands and wives A woman and a man A man and a woman Some can and some can't and some can't Two broken hearts lonely looking houses Where nobody lives Two people each having so much pride inside Neither side forgives The angry words spoken in haste Such a waste of two lives It's my belief pride is the chief cause in the decline Of the number of husbands and wives It's my belief pride is the chief cause in the decline Of the number of husbands and wives |

She said what she wants is a man to be faithful A true heart somebody willin' and able To stay by her side through thick and thin A tender touch every now and then She's not hung up on fairy tales Or some dream at the bottom of a wishin' well Fancy cars or diamond rings What she wants most are the little things That's what she gets That's what she gets That's what she gets for loving me At times I lay awake at night Stare at her laying by my side Knowin' there in her heart as she sleeps She can forever count on me Whatever turns her on I'm here to do it Till the day they write my name in stone I'll live to prove it |

Connie came back from her second cousin's wedding
First time she'd been home in 'bout a year or two Just in time for the rehearsal dinner But that crazy Connie wasn't wearing any shoes [Chorus] She lives in L.A. she flies to New York City That woman's been around the world You can take that girl out of the honky tonk But you can't take the honky tonk, can't take the honky tonk Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Out of that girl Well the dinner broke up at about 11:30 And the boys went off to do what boys will do Connie said come here girls we need to huddle up Around something that's a hundred proof [Chorus] It's nine a.m. in front of the church People are going nuts just looking for the groom And by the way where's Connie She's run off with that boy in Cancun [Chorus] |

I don't stop breathin' every time the phone rings
My heart don't race when someone's at my door I've almost given up thinkin' you're ever gonna call I don't believe in magic anymore I just don't lie awake at night, Askin' God to get you off my mind [Chorus] It's gettin' better all the time, It's gettin' better all the time Yeah, I got to work on time again this mornin' This old job is all that I got a left And no one even noticed I'd been cryin' But, at least I don't have whiskey on my breath Yeah, I think I'm gonna make it 'Cause God won't make a mountain I can't climb [Chorus] God, I hope you're happy Girl, I wish you well I just might get over you You can't ever tell I always thought that I'd do somethin' crazy If I ever saw you out with someone else But when the moment came last night, I couldn't say a word I stood there in the dark hall by myself Yeah, I could have said a million things But all I did was keep it locked inside [Chorus] It's gettin' better all the time |

Sun coming' up over New York City
School bus driver in a traffic jam Staring out at the faces in a rear view mirror Lookin' at the promise of the Promised Land One kid dreams of fame and fortune One kid helps pay the rent One could end up going to prison One just might be president [Chorus] Only in America Dreamin' in red white and blue Only in America Where we dream as big as we want to We all get a chance Everybody gets to dance Only in America Sun goin' down on an LA freeway Newly weds in the back of a limosine A welder's son and a banker's daughter All they want is every thing She came out here to be an actress He was a singer in a band They might just go back to Oklahoma And talk about the stars they could have been [Chorus] We all get a chance Everybody gets to dance Only in America [Chorus] We all get a chance Everybody gets to dance Only in America Yeah Only in America Only in America Where we dream in red white and blue Yeah we dream as big as we want to Only in America |

Where the rain don't fall and the grass don't grow
The older part of New Mexico I drifted into town one day And stumbled in on a lost cafe Shades were pulled and the door was locked Something made me knock Time stood still when she opened the door I didn't know where I was anymore And we were lost in each other's eyes Where loneliness meets paradise Something in my heart broke free Blowing wind as the tumbleweed Somewhere north of heaven Where eagles fear to fly Where the sun burns hot as the devil's gate The desert meets the sky Tattooed on my memory is the image of an angel's face North of heaven, south of Santa Fe Bad news tends to travel fast I was running from my past I left her when ther morning broke Truth is I never let her go I'm still running free But in my heart I'll always be Somewhere north of heaven Where eagles fear to fly Where the sun burns hot as the devil's gate The desert meets the sky Tattooed on my memory is the image of an angel's face North of heaven, south of Santa Fe North of heaven, south of Santa Fe |
