What I'd give to bring you flowers What I'd give to get you alone What I'd give to bring a smile across your face What I'd give to take you home
What I'd give to make you coffee Find out how you like your eggs Wrapped around you in the morning A tangled lace of arms and legs
Chorus: What I'd give to let you love me Find out everything that brings you joy Wake up to your face above me I'd be that girl and you could be that boy Find out what that feeling is Oh, what I'd give
What I'd give to take you dancing What I'd give to make you mine If you've got questions, I got answers And my answer's "yes" to you every time
What I'd give for just one minute What I'd give to count all the ways If your heart was dark with nothin' in it I'd give you mine and take your place
Today is my Birthday And all that I want Is to dig through this big box of pictures in my Kitchen Till the daylights gone
This one here is my momma With the long brown hair I'm 40 yrs older today than she was in that picture there
But if life stayed it was And lovers never fell out of love If memories didn't last so long If nobody did nobody wrong If we knew what we had before it was gone If every road led back home This would be The very last country song
These are all my babies Lord knows how we survived The first one was hard and last was unplanned What a big surprise That him with his daddy's eyes
I loved the man in this one It's faded but I don't care There are nights when I wake up and know that he's beside me I swear Sometimes I still feel him there
But if life stayed it was And lovers never fell out of love If memories didn't last so long If nobody did nobody wrong If we knew what we had before it was gone If every road led back home This would be The very last country song
If we knew what he had before it was gone If every road led back home This would the very last country song
One more! Well I heard Steve Earle had lots of wives, About as many as cats have lives. Met him on his records and we're good friends. He writes a song for everyone. They fall in love and before it's done, He writes an even better one when it ends. Well I don't have to take your name. And you won't have to take the blame.
(Chorus) Steve Earle, Steve Earle, please write a song for me. I promise I won't take a dime when it comes my time to leave. The others wanted your whole heart, but I just want your sleeve. Steve Earle, Steve Earle, please write a song for me.
Well I heard he loves each one the same, As much as Ireland loves the rain. Steve, it rains at my house everyday. He met 'em all in every port, 'Cause falling in love is a pilgrim sport. And as long as I can be the pirate, I'm ok! You moved to the city. Baby, you had to go. But I love apples and I could learn to love the snow.
(Chorus)
Come on! I could walk around in your favorite shoes. Come on, just one line, What do you got to lose? And I don't bruise.
Steve Earle, Steve Earle, please write a song for me. I promise I won't take a dime when it comes my time to leave. The others wanted your whole heart, but I just want your sleeve.
(spoken) And the shirt that goes with it 'cause it smells like you, and you know I like to sleep in that in the vacation house at the beach and a really small wedding, only 'bout 300 people. Did I tell you I have kids? You're gonna love 'em. They're gonna need to go to college. Do you like reggae? I love reggae. On Tuesday nights, I like to go to trivia, so that's your night to go out with the boys and then you can... Is this thing on?
Steve Earle, Steve Earle, please write a song for me.
I do! Yeah! Fine! Cool! Should we come listen then?
Radiator says 95 But I ain't felt a drop of heat all night Here in this motel There's no telling me nothin' I come here 5 nights a week To clean the toilets and change these sheets My name's Maggie Duran Baby ain't that somethin'
Chorus If you want it Come and get it If you want it Come and get it You'll understand You take me as I am
I know these corners I know these streets The curbside prophets They're yelling at me He saved my soul For a drink and a dollar They keep staring at my tattoos We all live with the scars we choose They may hurt like hell But they all make us stronger
Chorus
Slow to trust But I'm quick to love Push too hard And I feel too much I can't say that I'm perfect But I promise I'm worth it
Now I'm telling each one of you Tell me boy what you gonna do My name's Maggie Duran Baby ain't that somethin'
We said goodbye. Tried her hand at magic. But we couldn't make us disappear. Not a day goes by I don't wish I had you. So run away, I'm glad you're still here. It's a bitter sweet victory. Lovin' the ghost in front of me.
Now I can't laugh, can't cry. And I can't run, can't hide. What do I gotta do? What do I gotta do to keep you? What do I gotta do to keep you from doing this to me?
I wrote a couple of notes. One in love, one in anger. They're lying there dying in the dresser drawer. Lived louder than my voice. Struggled through a stranger. He loved me until I loved you even more. It's a bitter sweet victory. Lovin' someone else who wanted me.
Now I can't laugh, can't cry. And I can't run, can't hide. You get used to the pain, and numb to the sting Till you can't feel anything.
You tried to explain, but I couldn't hear it. As if your words were my tears. Flowing freely, warm and quiet. From the edges of my eyes and my ears. Then all that disappears.
Now I can't laugh, can't cry. And I can't run, can't hide. Now I can't laugh, can't cry. And I can't run, can't hide.
What do I gotta do? What do I gotta do to keep you? What do I gotta do to keep you from doing this to me?
My mama mapped out the road she knows Which hands you shake, which hands you hold And my hand-me-down Mercury ready to roll She knew that I had to go And hang out, make lots of noise And lay out late with a boy Making mistakes that she made cause she knew all along
I was already gone I was already gone I was already gone Life is a runaway train you can't wait to jump on
They say the first time won't ever last But that didn't stop me the first time he laughed All my friends tried to warn me the day that we met Girl, don't you lose your heart yet But his dark eyes dared me with danger And sparks flied like flame to a paper Fire in his touch burning me up But still I held on
Cause I was already gone I was already gone I was already gone Life is a runaway train you can't wait to jump on
Last time I saw we packed up my things And he smiled like the first time he told me his name And we cried with eachother We split the blame for the parts that we couldn't change Pictures, dishes, and socks It's our whole life down to one box There he was waving goodbye on the front porch alone
But I was already gone I was already gone I was already gone I was already gone I was already gone
Hang out, make lots of noise And lay out late with a boy Making mistakes that she made Life is a runaway train
My heart's grown cold. There's not much left. My blood won't turn. And I can see my breathe. She walks above the angels room. Catch the snow, feels like winter. I'd do anything to just be with her.
Well the world won't turn. The world won't turn. The frames won't break. And the letter's won't burn. The whole thing seemed like Einsteins dreams. See the smoke, start to shiver. I'd do anything to just forget her.
She's my Genevieve. She's my lazy river. She's my only love. She's my favorite sinner, Genevieve. Woo-ho Genevieve.
Sometimes I see her. A cold chill of fever. So easy to believe her.
She's my Genevieve. She's my lazy river. (Genevieve) She's my only love. She's my favorite sinner, Genevieve. (sinner) Wo-ho...
She's my Genevieve. She's my lazy river. She's my only love. She's my favorite sinner, Genevieve. Woo-ho Genevieve.
Is it the face of a child Is it the thrill of danger Is it the kindness we see in the eyes of a stranger Is it more than faith Is it more than hope Is it waiting for us at the end of our rope
I say it's love I say it's love
Is it the one you call home Is it the Holy Land Is it standing right here holding your hand Is it just like the movies Is it rice and white lace Is it the feeling I get when I wake to your face
I say it's love I say it's love
Is it the first summer storm Is it the colors of fall Is it having so little And yet having it all Is it one in a millionIs it a chance to belong Is it standing right here singing this song
I say it's love I say it's love I say it's love I say it's love I say it's love I say it's love I say it's love I say it's love
Is it a veil or a cross Is it the poet's gift Is it the face that has launched over thousands of ships
Is it making you laugh Is it letting you cry Is it where we believe that we go when we die Is it how you were made Is it your mother's ghost Is it the wish that I'm wishing for your life, for your life, for your life the most
What if I said yes? What if I'd gone out that night? What if you turned left, and everything would of turned out alright. What if I spoke up? What if I took the keys? What if I had of tried a little harder, instead of always trying to please.
[Chorus]
Joey, I'm so sorry. Oh can you hear me? Joey, I'm so sorry.
What if I said no? What if we never fell in love? What if we'd gone slow, or a little bit faster and broken up. Would I know this hurt? Would I feel this pain? Do you know that with all I have left in my very last breath I will call your name?
[Chorus]
Joey, I'm so sorry. Oh can you hear me? Joey, I'm so sorry.
Were you sad, were you scared, did you whisper a prayer to be free? Was it quiet and cold was it light or too dark to see? And did you reach for me?
Joey, I'm so sorry. Ohoh can you hear me? Joey, I'm so sorry. Ohohoh can you hear me? Joey, I'm sooooooooo- Joey, I'm soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry.
Snake oil and roses, pockets of dirt Hand of a fortune teller's song Young love shaking the earth Like a heart shot out of a gun
Lips like gravity, pull me under Reckless weather on his breath Smells like rain, hits like thunder A storm is coming, I've got nothing left So we run, yeah yeah yeah we run Come undone like a string on a sweater That you pull but you know better But doing what you shouldn't's half the fun so we run
Fire and laughter, fence posts flying Feel the fever in the air Can't remember what came before him And what comes after I don't care
Hands are trembling, I swore I wouldn't One more look and I'll give in A hundred reasons why I shouldn't But I lost my heart in wanting him to win
So we run, yeah yeah yeah we run Come undone like a string on a sweater Old enough and should know better But doing what you shouldn't's half the fun So we run, na na na na....
I hear the leather on his voice It's a calling not a choice and I can't keep myself from following the sound Yeah, you may never know how fast that you can go Til someone lifts your feet up off the ground
So we run, yeah yeah yeah we run Come undone, yeah yeah yeah undone So we run, yeah yeah yeah we run So we run, yeah yeah yea we run Na, na na na....
Missed my alarm clock ringing Woke up telephone screaming Boss man singing his same old song
Rolled in late about an hour No cup of coffee, no shower Walk of shame with two different shoes on
Now it is poor me, why me, oh me Boring the same old worn out blah blah story There is no good explanation for it at all
Ain't no rhyme or reason No complicated meaning Ain't no need to over think it Let go laughing Life don't go quite like you planned it We try so hard to understand Irrefutable, indisputable The fact is Psssh It happens
My trusty rusty had a flat I borrowed my neighbor's Cadillac I'll be right back Goin' down to Wally World
That yellow light turned red to quickly Knew that truck the moment it hit me Out stepped my ex and his new girl "Sorry 'bout your neck baby"
But it is poor me, why me, oh me Boring the same old worn out blah blah story There is no good explanation for it at all
Ain't no rhyme or reason No complicated meaning Ain't no need to over think it Let go laughing
Life don't go quite like you planned it We try so hard to understand Irrefutable, indisputable The fact is Psssh It happens
Ain't no rhyme or reason No complicated meaning Ain't no need to over think it Let go laughing
Life don't go quite like you planned it We try so hard to understand Irrefutable, indisputable The fact is
Yeah, the irrefutable, indisputable Absoluteable, totally beautiful Fact is psssh it happens
I don't wanna get up, baby, let's turn off the phone I don't wanna go to work today or even put my makeup on I got better things to do than my to-do list, anyway Hide under the covers and waste away the day Let's just lay here and be lazy, baby, drive me crazy All I want to do All I want to do is love you I got my whole life to change the world and climb the ladders Lookin' at you lookin' at me is the only thing that matters Come a little closer, baby, we can talk without the words Hang a sign on the door, please do not disturb Let's just lay here and be lazy, baby, drive me crazy All I want to do All I want to do is love you Give me a kiss from that Elvis lip You don't want to miss this All I want to do All I want to do is love you All I really want to do is All I really want to do is All I really want to do is love you, and love you, and love you Come a little closer, baby, we can talk without the words Hang a sign on the door, please do not Please do not Please do not Please do not disturb When I lay down in the evening all I really want to do When I wake up When I wake up in the morning, baby, all I really want to do is
Absolutely no one who knows me better No one that can make me feel so good How did we stay so long together When everybody Everybody said we never would And just when I I start to think they're right That love has died
