Was it the pull of the moon now baby That led you to my door You say the night's got you acting crazy I think it's somethin' more I never felt the Earth move honey Until you shook my tree Nobody runs from the law now baby Of love and gravity
It pulls you so strong Baby you gotta hold on
* If I fall you're goin' down with me You're goin' down with me baby if I fall You can't take back every little chill you give me You're goin down with me baby heart and all Ooh yeah
We're hangin' right on the edge now baby The wind is gettin' stronger We're hangin' on by a thread now honey We can't hold on much longer It's a long way down but it's too late
* repeat
Ooh, baby, I couldn't get any higher This time I'm willin' to dance on the wire If I fall If I fall
* I said I wanna touch the earth I wanna break it in my hands I wanna grow something wild and unruly
I wanna sleep on the hard ground In the comfort of your arms On a pillow of bluebonnets In a blanket made of stars
Oh it sounds good to me I said
** Cowboy take me away Fly this girl as high as you can Into the wild blue Set me free, oh, I pray Closer to heaven above And closer to you Closer to you
I wanna walk and not run I wanna skip and not fall I wanna look at the horizon And not see a building standing tall
I wanna be the only one For miles and miles Except for maybe you And your simple smile
Oh it sounds good to me Yes it sounds so good to me
The moon is full And my arms are empty All night long I've pleaded and cried You always said The day that you would leave me Would be a cold day in July
Your bags are packed And not a word is spoken I guess we said Everything with 'goodbye' Time moves so slow And promises get broken On this cold day in July
* Sun's comin' up, comin' up Down on Main street Children shout as they're Running out to play Head in my hands Here I am standin' in my bare feet Watchin you drive away Watchin you drive away
We said that we Were gonna last forever Would said our love Would never die It looks like spring And it feels like sunny weather But, it's a cold day in July
* Repeat
The moon is full And my arms are empty All night long How I've pleaded and cried You always said The day that you would leave me Would be a cold day in July Here comes that cold day in July
Mary Ann and Wanda were the best of friends All through their high school days. Both members of the 4-H club. Both active in the FFA. After graduation, Mary Ann went out Lookin' for a bright new world. Wanda looked all around this town And all she found was Earl.
Well, it wasn't two weeks After she got married that Wanda started gettin' abused. She put on dark glasses And long sleeve blouses And makeup to cover a bruise. Well, she finally got the nerve To file for divorce. She let the law take it from there. But, Earl walked right through That restraining order and Put her in intensive care.
Right away Mary Ann flew in from Atlanta On a red-eye, midnight flight. She held Wanda's hand As they worked out a plan And it didn't take them Long to decide that Earl had to die.
Goodbye Earl Those black-eyed peas They tasted alright to me, Earl You're feelin' weak? Why don't you lay down and sleep, Earl Ain't it dark Wrapped up in that tarp, Earl
The cops came by To bring Earl in. They searched the house High and low. Then they tipped their hats And said 'thank you, ladies' 'If you hear from him let us know' Well, the weeks went by And spring turned to summer And summer faded into fall And it turns out he Was a missing person who Nobody missed at all.
So the girls bought some land At a roadside stand Out on highway 109 They sell Tennessee ham And strawberry jam And they don't lose Any sleep at night. 'Cuz Earl had to die.
Goodnight, Earl We need a break Let's go out to the lake, Earl We'll pack a lunch And stuff you in the trunk, Earl Well, is that alright? Good, let's go for a ride, Earl Hey, well hey, hey, hey Aw, hey, hey, hey Well, hey, hey, hey

Ain’t no talkin’ to this man Ain’t no pretty other side Ain’t no way to understand the stupid words of pride It would take an acrobat and I already tried all that I’m gonna let him fly
Things can more at such a pace The second hand just waved goodbye You know the light has left his face But you can’t recall just where or why So there was really nothing to it I just went and cut right through it I said I’m gonna let him fly Oh yeah
There’s no mercy in a live wire No rest at all in freedom Choices we are given It’s no choice at all The proof is in the fire you though before it moves away- yeah But you must always know how long to stay and when to go
And there ain’t no talkin’ to this man He’s been trying to tell me so It took a while to understand The beauty of just letting to ‘cause it would take an acrobat n’ I already tried all that
I’m gonna let him fly I’m gonna let him fly-fly ooh.. I’m gonna let him fly-fly ooh.. I’m gonna let him fly
She's got you wrapped up in her satin and lace Tied around her little finger She's got you thinkin' you can never escape Don't you know your heart's in danger There's a devil in that angel face If you could only see the love that you're wastin'
*I can love you better than that I know how to make you forget her All I'm asking is for one little chance Cause baby I can love you, baby I can love you( better )

You're gonna see what you mean to me So open up your eyes cause seein is believin'
Who Doesn't Know What I'm Talking About Who's Never Left Home, Who's Never Struck Out To Find A Dream And A Life Of Their Own A Place In The Clouds, A Foundation Of Stone
Many Precede And Many Will Follow A Young Girl's Dream No Longer Hollow It Takes The Shape Of A Place Out West But What It Holds For Her, She Hasn't Yet Guessed
Chorus: She Needs Wide Open Spaces Room To Make Her Big Mistakes She Needs New Faces She Knows The High Stakes
She Traveled This Road As A Child Wide Eyed And Grinning, She Never Tired But Now She Won't Be Coming Back With The Rest If These Are Life's Lessons, She'll Take This Test
Repeat Chorus She Knows The High Stakes
As Her Folks Drive Away, Her Dad Yells, "Check The Oil!" Mom Stares Out The Window And Says, "I'm Leaving My Girl" She Says, It Didn't Seem Like That Long Ago When She Stood There And Let Her Own Folks Know
Repeat Chorus She Knows The High Stakes She Knows The High Stakes She Knows The High Stakes She Knows The High Stakes
If you could see me now The one who said that she'd rather roam The one who said she'd rather be alone If you could only see me now
If I could hold you now Just for a moment, If I could really make you mine Just for a while, turn back the hands of time If I could only hold you know
*I've been too long in the wind Too long in the rain Taking any comfort that I can Looking back and longing for The freedom of my chains And lying in your loving arms again
If you could hear me now Singing somewhere through the lonely nights Dreaming of the arms that held me tight If you could only hear me now
Should Have Been Different But It Wasn't Different, Was Same Old Story, Dear John, And So Long Should Have Fit Like A Glove Should Have Fit Like A Ring Like A Diamond Ring A Token Of True Love Should Have All Worked Out But It Didn't She Should Be Here Now But She Isn't
Chorus: There's Your Trouble, There's Your Trouble You Keep Seeing Double With The Wrong One You Can't See I Love You, You Can't See Doesn't But You Just Keep Holding On There's Your Trouble
So Now You're Thinking 'Bout All You're Missing -- How Deep You're Sinking, Round And Round And Dragging Down Why Don't You Cash In Your Chips Why Don't You Call It A Loss Not Such A Big Loss, Chalk It Up Better Luck Could Have Been True Love But It Wasn't It Should All Add Up But It Doesn't
Repeat Chorus
Should Have All Worked Out But It Didn't She Should Be Here Now But She Isn't
I Can't Find A Reason To Let Go Even Though You've Found A New Love And She's What Your Dreams Are Made Of I Can Find A Reason To Hang On What Went Wrong Can Be Forgiven Without You, It Ain't Worth Livin' Alone
Chorus: Sometimes I Wake Up Crying At Night And Sometimes I Scream Out Your Name What Right Does She Have To Take You Away When For So Long, You Were Mine
I Took Out All The Pictures Of Our Wedding Day It Was A Time Of Love And Laughter Happy Ever After But Even Those Old Pictures Have Begun To Fade Please Tell Me She's Not Real And That You're Really Coming Home To Stay
Repeat Chorus
I Can Give You Two Good Reasons To Show You Love's Not Blind He's Two And She's Four, And You Know They Adore You So How Can I Tell Them You've Changed Your Mind
Lyin' next to you in the dark I can feel your beating heart You've been here beside me through the test of time We've both had out share of doubts Waited out those old storm clouds But it's nights like this that I know why Lovers like you and me will never say die
*Cause there's a long line of folks giving up on love So many hearts get broken in the push and shove I'll believe in you for the rest of my life Baby lovers like you and me will never say die
Tears of joy and tears of pain Tears say more than words explain There's no need for words here tonight We've both felt each others power A tender touch in the wee small hours Is strong enough to hold us for a lifetime Lovers like you and me will never say die
