You thought I was dangerous,
I thought you were cool I met you in a parking lot One day after school We didn't have no money, We didn't have no sense You jumped in beside me And then we jumped the fence We had just enough gas to get to Memphis Just the right song playing on the radio Just enough highway to push the limit We got tangled up with just enough rope Oh, just enough rope Barely hangin' on, barely in control You and me baby and just enough rope I was wild about you, You gave me your heart We made a solemn promise To never be apart Days turned into months yeah, We were runnin' free You and me together And baby makes three We had just enough pride To think we'd make it Just enough ride To know the way to go Just enough time To find a preacher We tied the knot With just enough rope Oh, just enough rope Barely hangin' on, barely in control You and me baby and just enough rope We could have hung ourselves Out to dry But we wrapped it around You and I Then we pulled it tight Here we stand Ready to turn another page Some things just get better with age I've been lovin' you since I can't remember when I said it before And I'll say it again We got just enough fire To keep it burning Just enough dream To never give up hope Just enough love to last forever We keep it tied together With just enough rope We keept it all together With just enough rope Oh, just enough rope We're still hangin' on, We're still going strong Just enough rope Oh, just enough rope 'Round and around and around we go... --- Instrumental to fade --- |

When I see the way you look at love I feel so blind
'Cause I don't know how to give that much to you And when I think of what it means to love forever I get scared That I won't be strong enough to see it through And about that time I don't know what to do. And when I run, it's only 'cause I don't know how to stay I don't know how to get my feelings out of my way It's not you, and it's not fun I know tryin' to hide is crazy Walking out won't save me My demons only chase me when I run. In your arms I am sound and safe from my own harm Or at least you always make me feel that way It's only when I turn away from you that I get lost My mind lets some old hurt get in the way I stop listening to what my heart has to say. And when I run, it's only 'cause I don't know how to stay I don't know how to get my feelings out of my way It's not you, and it's not fun, I know tryin' to hide is crazy Walking out won't save me My demons only chase me when I run. And how, tell me can I turn around And face these feelings chasing after me And why are there still so many things You know about that I can't even see. And when I run, it's only 'cause I don't know how to stay I don't know how to get my feelings out of my way It's not you, and it's not fun, I know tryin' to hide is crazy Walking out won't save me My demons only chase me when I run... |

He was a giant
Swung a heavy hammer In the bottom of a mine But he always came up smiling, A light within his eyes Now there is a skeleton That I don't recognize But it is not the coal That has him fading fast It is a love gone forever That he thought would last That he can't get past I wish hearts would break It wouldn't be quite Such a beating to take Why don't they give in Instead of coming back Over and over again Oh, I wish hearts would break She was an angel Arms open wide, Never met a stranger Now she withdraws At the slightest touch Like an animal that's beaten One time too much But it was not an angry hand That hurt her so It was a gentle one That she used to hold That let her go I wish hearts would break It wouldn't be quite Such a beating to take Why don't they give in Instead of coming back Over and over again Oh, I wish hearts would break I wish hearts would break It wouldn't be quite Such a beating to take Why don't they give in Instead of coming back Over and over again Oh, I wish hearts would break... |

She was all alone at half-past four
At an all-night small town convenience store When he walked in and locked the door behind him. She ducked down behind the counter He said "Get up, I know you're down there I got a gun. Just hold on, I'll find it." He fumbled through the pockets of his faded denim jacket Handed her a note and said, "You'd better do exactly what it says" And she read: Nobody love, and nobody gets hurt She looked at him with a nervous grin She pointed to that word He said, "What the hell. I can't spell But you know what I meant." She said, "Yeah, But that ain't what you said." She said "I don't think you wanna do this Sounds to me like there's more to it." He said "Spare your views on my abusive childhood. 'Cause the last time I saw my old man Was in a photograph in our garbage can. He never gave a damn, so tell me why I should. And you don't know the half of all The demons that I've battled. You ain't gonna save me with your mindless psychobabble I'm damaged goods." Nobody love, and nobody gets hurt. And as he walked away in the pouring rain She still could hear that word He said, "What the hell. I can't spell But you know what I meant." She said, "Yeah, But that ain't what you said." She said, "Yeah, But that ain't what you said.".. |

There was a maple tree in our front yard
When I was growin' up, I'd climb up to the top And watch my brother trading baseball cards My Daddy pulling weeds, mother's callin' me I was hiding in the leaves And the world looked fine as far as I could see From the top of the family tree A hundred branches growing 'round me Way up there in the family tree When I was seventeen, I left that town My life was right on track, I never once looked back I was so sure that I was glory bound I gave it all I had and when it all went bad Got a phone call from my dad And the world looked fine as far as I could see From the top of the family tree A hundred branches growing 'round me Way up there in the family tree Now I'm older and my husband laughs at me I'm building houses for the kids up in a tree And the world looks fine as far as I can see From the top of the family tree A hundred branches growing 'round me Way up here in the family tree The world looks fine as far as I can see From the top of the family tree A hundred branches growing 'round me Way up here in the family tree... |

You're mascara's runnin' and your hair is a mess
And what have you spilled on your party dress Sittin' in the kitchen all broken-hearted Lookin' for comfort in an ice-cream carton But all you want, all you really want. Is somebody to love, you want somebody Oh, you've got to be strong It's not enough to want somebody Just 'cause the night is long You've got to be tough and hold out honey 'cause What you really want is somebody to love. I've been to all of the places you go to And I've danced the tango with Cassanova The wine and the roses are so continental But the champagne is flat and the tux is a rental All you want, all you really want. Is somebody to love, you want somebody Oh, you've got to be strong It's not enough to want somebody Just 'cause the night is long You've got to be tough and hold out honey 'cause What you really want is somebody to love. Yeah, you want somebody To tear the night apart Someone to love you back, now honey That's a darn good start. You've got to be tough and hold out honey 'cause What you really want is somebody to love Somebody to love... |

I don't need moonlight and roses
I don't want you to stand here and tell me lies I know what you're feeling, I think I know why Please, don't let this love go by. It's so hard to think in the long run And it's so easy to stand back and drift apart There's nothing you'd ask me that I wouldn't try Please, don't let this love go by. Don't let, this love go by Don't you feed another flame And let the first one die You might believe you can take it in your stride But these things go bad every time. I feel a whole lot of heartache and bad times Comin' on like a fast train for you and me There's a change in your voice, a stranger in your eyes Please, don't let this love go by. Don't let, this love go by Don't you feed another flame And let the first one die You might believe you can take it in your stride But these things go bad every time. I don't need moonlight and roses I don't want you to stand here and tell me lies I know what you're feeling, I think I know why Please, don't let this love go by. Darlin', please don't let this love go by... |

(Both)
Take me back, take me back, take me back to your heart Can't you love me again like you did at the start There's a weight on my shoulders and I know I can't win Take me back, take me back, again. (Suzy) I would call you to plead but I don't have the nerve 'Cause the thing that I need, I do not deserve The way I was careless with your trust was a sin (Both) Take me back, take me back, again. If my love was fire, it would burn this house down With all of the lies that were told But it's only a fever that burns me inside From the longings of a broken down soul. (Suzy) Now the wind's blowing through and it's crying for me 'Cause it knows I was not what I wanted to be And the sky must be sorry, 'cuase it's starting to rain Take me back, take me back, again. (Both) If my love was fire, it would burn this house down With all of the lies that were told But it's only a fever that burns me inside From the longings of a broken down soul. (Suzy) Take me back, take me back, take me back to your heart Can't you love me again like you did at the start (Both) There's a weight on my shoulders and I know I can't win Take me back, take me back again... |

Funny we should meet
The three of us here on the street You know I've wondered what I'd say Now the moment's here And suddenly it's crystal clear Some things are never gonna change From where I stand I see an old familiar story Only last time I was in your shoes Now it's looking like it's my turn to be lonely And I tell you I don't like the view I was just like you For me he left somebody too And I didn't care if that was wrong Oh, but now I've found The tears you cause come back around And they're coming your way before too long From where I stand I see an old familiar story Only last time I was in your shoes Now it's looking like it's my turn to be lonely And I tell you I don't like the view From where I stand We've got a lot in common and There's a good chance you'll be Standing one day right here From where I stand I see an old familiar story Only last time I was in your shoes Now it's looking like it's my turn to be lonely And I tell you I don't like the view From where I stand I see an old familiar story Only last time I was in your shoes Now it's looking like it's my turn to be lonely And I tell you I don't like the view... |

If I wanted to
I could stand up right now Walk away from you If I wanted to There's a part of me That would like to believe But it isn't true I'm tied to you It's a natural thing And I can't resist it These feelings you're stirring up I never knew existed I surrender There's no use in fighting As strong as I am This is stronger than me I'm outnumbered So many emotions Are holding me down And setting me free, so tender This pull on my heart, I surrender It amazes me When I look in your eyes How clear I see It amazes me There's a part of you That's a part of me too And it calls to me It's like destiny It's a natural thing That I've been concealing I'm gonna drop my defenses And give in to this feeling I surrender There's no use in fighting As strong as I am, This is stronger than me I'm outnumbered So many emotions Are holding me down And setting me free, so tender This pull on my heart, I surrender So many emotions Are holding me down And setting me free, so tender This pull on my heart, I surrender... |

Little towns and neon signs fade away inside my mind
There is only one thing I can hold on to I see pictures in my head replaying every word you said Every memory's like a thread running through Everything I do leads me straight to you. This train of thought keeps coming back It must be on a one-way track It never stops, just picks up steam And I can't get off this train of thought. I've tried everything I swear Television, solitaire But all I do is sit and stare, dusk 'til dawn I don't know where this heart is bound The wheels keep turning 'round and 'round I don't see 'em slowin' down Not as long as I hear this song Playing on and on. This train of thought keeps coming back It must be on a one-way track It never stops, just picks up steam And I can't get off this train of though. This train of thought keeps coming back It must be on a one-way track It never stops, just picks up steam And I can't get off this train of though. No, I can't get off this train of thought... |
