Vince Gill

Say you're sorry
You still care
She came by my place again
Cryin' about you man
You should love her
Twice as much
I try to remember you're a friend
But it's gettin' a little rough

1st Chorus:
She's just tired
Of bein' Cinderella
She can't live that way no more
She needs a little affection
A little understanding
You better be careful 'Cause the next time she comes to my door
She won't be a Cinderella no more

A teardrop trembled
On her face
Where that smile always was
It seemed out of place
And when I held her
Like a friend
I could feel a sweet beginning
But taste a bitter end

2nd Chorus:
She's just tired
Of bein' Cinderella
She can't live that way no more
She needs a little affection
A little understanding
You better be careful 'Cause the next time she comes to my door
You'll be sorry

'Cause it seems like
It's always something with you
And everybody's always wrong
One of these nights
You'll reach for the pillow she sleeps on
And she's gonna be gone

2nd Chorus

We've been up, all night long
Tryin' to solve a problem and it's almost dawn
Ain't no time for sleepin', if our love is everything
Cause I ain't givin' up, you ain't givin' in

Chorus:

When our love starts slippin'
Love start slippin' away
Cause the life we're living'
Gets harder everyday
Don't let our love start slippin,
Love start slippin' away

Baby when love, walks a real thin line
No communication, kills it every time
So open up your heart, baby we can work it out
We got that kind of love, people dream about

Chorus

It's past the point of right or wrong
We'll find a way to just hold on, yeah

Music

Chorus

Last line x 2

We've been up
All night long
Trying to solve a problem
Hell it's almost dawn
Ain't no time for sleepin'
If our love is wearin' thin
'cause i ain't givin' up
And you ain't givin' in

Don't let our love start slippin'
Love start slippin' away
'cause the life we've been livin'
Gets harder everyday
Don't let our love start slippin'
Love start slippin' away

A wounded love
Walks a real thin line

And no communication
Will kill it every time
So open up your heart
Baby we can work it out
'cause we've got the kind of love
People dream about

Don't let our love start slippin'
Love start slippin' away
'cause the life we've been livin'
Gets harder everyday
Don't let our love start slippin'
Love start slippin' away

It's past the point of right or wrong
Let's find a way to just hold on

Hey Creole Darlin'
Talk that French to me
You know your love is somethin'
Like I ain't never seen
I'm goin' down down down down to New Orleans

Your eyes shine line diamonds
And those kisses sure make me scream
There ain't nothin' like love on the bayou
Honey I know you know what I mean
I'm goin' down down down down to New Orleans
I'm goin' down down down down to New Orleans

They got the gumbo and the Creole
They got the Quarter all night long
I got my Delta Queen that makes my heart sing
Man I ain't never goin' home
I'm goin' down down down down to New Orleans
Sweet New Orleans baby

They got the gumbo and the Creole
They got the Quarter all night long
I got my Delta Queen that makes my heart sing
Man I ain't never goin' home
I'm goin' down down down down to New Orleans
I'm goin' down down down down to New Orleans
Sweet New Orleans baby

Oh, I'm drawn to you
Like a burnin' flame
But somebody's waitin'
That bears my name
Oh, Lord knows I'd love to love you
Cause you know I'm just a man
But I can't
Not from where I stand.

You see I made a promise
When I put on that rign
And I plan to kep it, babe
It's a sacred thing
Well, heaven knows I'm tempted
I hope you understand
That I can't
Not from where I stand.

[Repeat: x2]
Oh, from where I stand
There's a golden band
And I swear I couldn't stand
To lose it all
So, I better run
While I still can
Cause I can't, babe
Not from where I stand.

No I can't, not from where I stand
Yeah, not from where I stand

It's been a long day
Tell me how you've been?
Sorry, it's so late
Here we go again
We're sitting here together
Your hand in mine
I could stay here forever
Given more time

Given more time to laugh and dance
Given more time to have the chance
To show you this is where, I want to be
That old clock up on the wall
It don't even care at all
Lord, I wish, I was given more time
For you and me

Honey, how was your day?
Did you spend it on the run?
I know the kids are okay
Thanks for getting things done
In a few more hours
The sun's gonna shine
I wish, I had the power
To be given more time

Given more time to laugh and dance
Given more time to have the chance
To show you this is where I want to be
That old clock up on the wall
It don't even care at all
Lord, I wish, I was given more time
For you and me

That old clock up on the wall
It don't even care at all
Lord, I wish, I was given more time
For you and me
Lord, I wish, I was given more time
For you and me

Given more time to laugh and dance
But that old clock up on the wall
It don't even care at all
Lord, I wish, I was given more time
For you and me

Yeah
Given more time to laugh and dance
More time to have the chance
To show you this where, I want to be
Oh, that old clock up on the wall
It don't even care at all
Lord, I wish, I was given more time
For you and me

Whenever my soul is lonely
Whenever I'm feeling blue
I start thinkin' 'bout my blue eyed darlin'
And my heart starts pinin' for you
I wanna hear that high lonesome sound
'Cause my sweet baby ain't around
When my life's got me down
I wanna hear that high lonesome sound
When I'm lost in this ocean of darkness
Not knowing which way I should turn
And my eyes are filled with sadness
Of knowing you'll never return
Wanna hear that high lonesome sound
'Cause my sweet baby ain't around
When my life's got me down
I wanna hear that high lonesome sound
I wanna hear that high lonesome sound
'Cause my sweet baby ain't around
When my life's got me down
I wanna hear that high lonesome sound
I wanna hear that high lonesome sound
'Cause my sweet baby ain't around
When my life's got me down
I wanna hear that high lonesome sound

Whenever my soul is lonely
Whenever I'm feeling blue
I start thinkin' 'bout my blue eyed darlin'
And my heart starts pinin' for you
I wanna hear that high lonesome sound
'Cause my sweet baby ain't around
When my life's got me down
I wanna hear that high lonesome sound
When I'm lost in this ocean of darkness
Not knowing which way I should turn
And my eyes are filled with sadness
Of knowing you'll never return
Wanna hear that high lonesome sound
'Cause my sweet baby ain't around
When my life's got me down
I wanna hear that high lonesome sound
I wanna hear that high lonesome sound
'Cause my sweet baby ain't around
When my life's got me down
I wanna hear that high lonesome sound
I wanna hear that high lonesome sound
'Cause my sweet baby ain't around
When my life's got me down
I wanna hear that high lonesome sound

Look at us baby
Up all night
Tearin' our love apart
Aren't we the same two people
Who lived through years in the dark

Every time I try to walk away
Somethin' makes me turn and stay

I can't tell you why

When we get crazy
It just ain't right
(Try to keep your head on, girl)
'Cause girl I get lonely too
You don't have to worry
Just hold on tight
(Don't get caught in your little world)
'Cause I love you

Nothin's wrong as far as I can see
We make it harder than it has to be

I can't tell you why
No, baby, I can't tell you why
I can't tell you why

Every time I try to walk away
Somethin' makes me turn around and stay

I can't tell you why
No, baby, I can't tell you why
I can't tell you why
I can't tell you why... yeah

No, baby
Ooooh, I can't tell you why

Look at us baby
Up all night
Tearin' our love apart
Aren't we the same two people
Who lived through years in the dark

Every time i try to walk away
Somethin' makes me turn and stay

I can't tell you why

When we get crazy
It just ain't right
(try to keep your head on, girl)
'cause girl i get lonely too
You don't have to worry
Just hold on tight
(don't get caught in your little world)

'cause i love you

Nothin's wrong as far as i can see
We make it harder than it has to be

I can't tell you why
No, baby, i can't tell you why
I can't tell you why

Every time i try to walk away
Somethin' makes me turn around and stay

I can't tell you why
No, baby, i can't tell you why
I can't tell you why
I can't tell you why... yeah

No, baby
Ooooh, i can't tell you why

Everybody wants a little piece of my time
But still i put you at the end of the line
How it breaks my heart to cause you this pain
To see the tears you cry fallin' like rain

Give me the chance to prove
And i'll make it up to you

I still believe in you
With a love that will always be
Standing so strong and true
Baby i still believe in you and me

Somewhere along the way, i guess i just lost track

Only thinkin' of myself never lookin' back
For all the times i've hurt you, i apologize
I'm sorry it took so long to finally realize

Give me the chance to prove
That nothing's worth losing you

I still believe in you
With a love that will always be
Standing so strong and true
Baby i still believe in you and me

If i should stay
I would only be in your way
So i'll go, but i know
I'll think of you each step of the way

And i will always love you
I will always love you

Bitter sweet memories
That is all i am taking with me
Goodbye, please don't you cry
'cause we both know i'm not what you need

But i will always love you
I will always love you

I hope life (i hope life)
Treats you kind (treats you kind)
And i hope you have all you dream of
I wish you joy (wish you joy)
And happiness (and happiness)
But above all this i wish you love

And i will always love you
I will always love you
Yes, i will always love you
I will always love you

In these last few days, you've been on my mind.
An' we should get together an' talk about old times.
An' put the past behind us before life slips away.
I been thinkin' 'bout you in these last few days.

In these last few days, I have felt my age.
I wish that I was younger, but time has turned the page.
I sure miss the water and the rhythm of the waves.
I've been feelin' fragile in these last few days.

But I have been a father, a husband and a son.
Lookin' back is bitter sweet now that my race has run.
I've tried to be a witness from the cradle to the grave.
Time has felt so precious in these last few days.

Instrumental break.

In these last few days, I have seen the light.
And I'll be waitin' for you on the other side.
My old friend, I love you: that's really all there's left to say.
Lay down here beside me in these last few days.

My old friend, I'll miss you, but I'm trying to be brave.
Lay down here beside me in these last few days.

When Jenny was a little girl she only dreamed of trains
She never played with dolls or lacy kinds of things
Jenny counted boxcars instead of countin' sheep
She could go anywhere when she went to sleep
All she ever talked about was gettin' on to ride
She

You've got my number
You've got my name
So why don't you call me
Little liza jane

You've got that body
You've got that frame
So why don't you call me
Little liza jane

Girl i got it bad for you
There ain't nothin' i won't do

Just one kiss and i'll never be the same
Little liza jane, oh little liza jane

Now you've heard my story
You've got to know my name
So why don't you call me
Little liza jane

Look at us
After all these years together
Look at us
After all that we've been through
Look at us
Still leaning on each other
If you want to see
How true love should be
Then just look at us

Look at you
Still pretty as a picture
Look at me
Still crazy over you
Look at us
Still believin' in forever
If you want to see
How true love should be
Then just look at us

In a hundred years from now
I know without a doubt
They'll all look back and wonder how
We made it all work out

Chances are
We'll go down in history
When they want to see
How true love should be
Then just look at us

Chance are
We'll go down in history
When they want to see
How true love should be
Then just look at us
When they want to see
How true love should be
Then just look at us

Moon river wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style someday
Old dream maker, you heart breaker
wherever you're going I'm going your way
Two drifters off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waiting around the band My Huckleberry friend
Moon river and me

Moon river wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style someday
Old dream maker, you heart breaker
wherever you're going I'm going your way
Two drifters off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waiting around the band My Huckleberry friend
Moon river and me

You were like a lost kid looking for home
You found what you wanted right in my arms

If you walk out on me
Just leave your memory
Just take my sympathy and go
I love you so you're never alone

If you find another one turns your head
And you can't understand why it hurts so bad

If you walk out on me
Just leave your memory
Just take my sympathy and go

If you walk out on me
Just leave your memory
Just take my sympathy and go
I love you so you're never alone

Girl you're never alone
Never alone

No other lover ever really cared
When i've reached out for you you've always been there
Now i'm so far away and baby i'm scared
I never knew lonely til you

You are my rock and the strength i need
To keep me sane in this life that i lead
Now i'm not with you and my broken heart bleeds
I never knew lonely til you

I never knew lonely could be so blue
I never knew lonely could tear you in two

I never loved someone like i love you
I never knew lonely til you

I can't make up for the times i've been gone
But i'll prove i love you in the words of this song
Back in your arms girl it's where i belong
I never knew lonely til you

I never knew lonely could be so blue
I never knew lonely could tear you in two
I never loved someone like i love you
I never knew lonely til you

Things are changin' in the modern world.
It makes it kinda crazy for a boy an' girl.
An awful lot of noise on the radio.
It really don't rock, it really don't roll.

Well, a kid'll come along, make the young girls swoon.
They all put his picture in their pink bedrooms.
They all hail the brand new king.
Everybody's waitin' for the next big thing.

Big cigars an' diamond rings.
Ridin' all around in a limousine.
When you finally hit the top, man, you know what that means?
Well, everybody's ready for the next big thing.

For a little while, you can do no wrong.
Live it up, son, 'cause it don't last long.
There's always somebody a-waitin' in the wings,
Thinkin' they're gonna be the next big thing.

Big cigars an' diamond rings.
Ridin' all around in a limousine.
When you finally hit the top, man, you know what that means?
Well, everybody's ready for the next big thing.

I'll get a Camel hat, some real tight jeans.
I'll lose a little weight an' get a belly-button ring.
You better stand back, I'm a lean machine, yeah:
Baby, I'm gonna be the next big thing.

Big cigars an' diamond rings.
Ridin' all around in a limousine.
When you finally hit the top, man, you know what that means?
Well, everybody's ready for the next big thing.
Everybody's ready for the next big thing.

I lie here tonight in the darkness
I've never felt so alone
Tomorrow i'll wake up still lonesome
'cause things haven't changed since you've gone

You walked out with angry words spoken
You're leavin' cut right to the bone
I'll pick up the pieces you have broken
Find the strength to go on

I still remember

How my love once held her
How long do old memories last
Why can't i forget it
Why can't i admit it
There ain't no future in the past

I still remember
How my love once held her
How long do old memories last
Why can't i forget it
Why can't i admit it
There ain't no future in the past

I wanna hear an old time fiddle
Play an old time fiddle song
I might even drink just a little
If you play 'Little Jolie Blon'
If you're lookin' or me
I'm liable to be
In the middle of the ol' dance floor
I wanna hear an old time fiddle
Like you never get to hear anymore

[Chorus:]
I wanna throw down on a hoe down
Hanging with the people I know
Hear the sweet sound
Of a breakdown
When you put a little rosin on the bow
Y'all come on over when the sun goes down
Bang on the ol' screen door
I wanna hear an old time fiddle
Like you never get to hear anymore

I miss ol' Herman Stover
Playin' Listen To The Mockingbird
It was Piedmont, Oklahoma
It was the sweetest sound I ever heard
Skinny ol' man in a cowboy band
You could barely get the people in the door
I wanna hear an old time fiddle
Like you never get to hear anymore

I wanna throw down on a hoe down
Hanging with the people I know
Hear the sweet sound
Of a breakdown
When you put a little rosin on the bow
Play diggy diggy li
Diggy diggy lo
The a little Cotten-Eyed Joe
I wanna hear an old time fiddle
Like you never get to hear anymore.

[Chorus:]

Y'all come on over when the sun goes down
Bang on the ol' screen door
I wanna hear an old time fiddle
Like you never get to hear anymore...

She was standing at the front door
When i came home last night
A good book in her left hand
And a rollin' pin in the right
She said you've come home for the last time
With whiskey on your breath
If you don't listen to my preachin' boy
I'm goin' to have to beat you half to death

Give me just a one more last chance
Before you say we're through
I know i drive you crazy baby
It's the best that i can do
We're just some good ol' boys, a makin' noise
I ain't a runnin' 'round on you
Give me just a one more last chance
Before you say we're through

First she hid my glasses

'cause she knows that i can't see
She said you ain't goin' nowhere boy
'til you spend a little time with me
Then the boys called from the honky tonk
Said there's a party goin' on down here
Well she might've took my car keys
But she forgot about my old john deere

So give me just a one more last chance
Before you say we're through
I know i drive you crazy baby
It's the best that i can do
We're just some good ol' boys, a makin' noise
I ain't a runnin' 'round on you
Give me just a one more last chance
Before you say we're through

He slipped the ring off his finger
When he walked in the room
And he found him some stranger
And promised her the moon
How many lies you must have told
You think you're a rich man
With your pocket full of gold

For another man's treasure
You'd say anything
But is one night of pleasure
Worth the trouble you'll bring
Don't look so surprised
'Cause son I should know
I once was a rich man
With pocket full of gold

Some night you're gonna wind up
On the wrong end of a gun
Some jealrous guy's gonna show up
And you'll pay for what you've done
What will it say on your tombstone
Here lies a rich man
With his pocket full of gold
Yeah, here lies a rich man
With his pocket full of gold

You sure have a pretty smile
It sure has been a while
Since I've felt your touch
You've got the sweetest way
I think about you every day
I miss you so much
Oh my pretty little Adriana
Are you lonesome tonight
Oh my pretty little Adriana
I'll find you when

No man ever sounded so lonesome
No man ever made you feel such pain
Lord, it must have been a real mean bottle
That made you sing that way

The stories you told about prison
About a young man gone astray
Lord, it must have been a real mean bottle
That made you write the songs that way

A real mean bottle poured straight from the devil
It's a miracle you're standin' here today
A real mean bottle made you such a rebel
Must've been a real mean bottle made you sing that way

You spent most all your life with strangers
With a ramblin' fever in your veins
Hag, it must have been a real mean bottle
That made you play the blues that way

A real mean bottle poured straight from the devil
It's a miracle you're standin' here today
A real mean bottle made you such a rebel
It must've been a real mean bottle made you sing that way

A real mean bottle poured straight from the devil
It must've been a real mean bottle made you sing that way
