from Miranda Lambert - Me And Charlie Talking (2004)
Me and Charlie boy used to go walking Sittin in the woods behind my house When bein lovers meant a stolen kiss And holding hands with nobody else around Charlie said he wanted to get married But we were only ten so we’d have to wait He said we’d never let our love run dry Like so many do these days So we treat our love like a firefly Like it only gets to shine for a little while Catch it in a mason jar With holes in the top And run like hell to show it off Oh promises we made when we’d go walkin That’s just me and Charlie talking Charlie always said he’d like to leave here So he turned 18 and left our sleepy town Letters came and went and I kept waiting For Charlie to come back And bring the life he’d found Funny how time and distance change you The road you take Don’t always lead you home You can start a love with good intentions And you look up and it’s gone So we treat our love like a firefly Like it only gets to shine for a little while Catch it in a mason jar With holes in the top And run like hell to show it off Oh promises we made when we’d go walkin That’s just me and Charlie talking Now and then I sometimes think of Charlie How we thought we knew it all back then Now I’d give anything to feel love From a child’s heart again So we treat our love like a firefly Like it only gets to shine for a little while Catch it in a mason jar With holes in the top And run like hell to show it off Oh promises we made when we’d go walkin That’s just me and Charlie Me and Charlie talking |

I’m waitin’ on the sun to set cause yesterday aint over yet
I started smoking cigarettes there’s nothing else to do I guess Dusty roads aint made for walking, spinning tires aint made for stoppin’ I’m giving up on love cause love’s given up on me I gave it everything I had and everything I got was bad Life aint hard but it’s too long to live it like some country song Trade the truth in for a lie, cheating really aint a crime I’m giving up on love cause love’s given up on me Forget you high society, I’m soakin’ it in Kerosene Light ‘em up and watch them burn, teach them what they need to learn HA! Dirty hands aint made for shakin’, aint a rule that aint worth breakin’ Well I’m giving up on love cause love’s given up on me Now I don’t hate the one who left You cant hate someone whos dead He’s out there holding on to someone, I’m holding up my smoking gun I’ll find somewhere to lay my blame the day she changes her last name Well I’m giving up on love cause love’s given up on me Well I’m giving up on love HEY love’s given up on me |

You draw it out like a highway
With every word you'd say Excuses for the answers that you lack Your mama’s still the steady ground you walk on every day And your daddy’s still the monkey on your back Did you find all you thought you’d find out in the wild, wild west You took a little piece of home and you threw away the rest You say you’re livin’ on the edge and I think you’re hangin’ from a ledge Too scared to hold the hand that wants to help you up Are you the man you thought you’d be by the time that you turned 33? Are you still a bullet in your daddy’s gun? Don’t forget boy you’re your mama’s only son She’s at home and she’s been prayin' for ya So what about Georgia? I saw your sister yesterday Austin’s five and on his way Looking for some shoes that he can fill He said that he’d be just like you the coolest guy he ever knew And he’d find you when he lost his training wheels I looked in his big blue eyes and I saw you again He’s hungry for a life he ain't ready to begin You say you’re livin’ on the edge And I think you’re hangin’ from a ledge Too scared to hold the hand That wants to help you up Are you the man you thought you’d be By the time that you turned 33? Are you still a bullet in your daddy’s gun? Don’t forget boy you’re your mama’s only son She’s at home and she’s been prayin' for ya So what about Georgia? I guess you didn’t realize it’d take you quite this long To figure out that being free is right where you belong You say you’re livin’ on the edge And I think you’re hangin’ from a ledge Too scared to hold the hand That wants to help you up HEY! Are you the man you thought you’d be by the time that you turned 33? Are you still a bullet in your daddy’s gun? Don’t forget boy you’re your mama’s only son She’s at home and she’s been prayin' for ya So what about Georgia? What about Georgia? yeah What about Georgia Georgia? Yeah What about Georgia? |

Rain on the window makes me lonely
And time keeps passing so slowly The old man sittin' next to me is fallin' asleep On a Greyhound bound for nowhere The sun's going down on my misery Another day gone by with broken dreams That Cell phone I hear ringing I keep wishing it was you On a Greyhound bound for nowhere And that ring that you were wearing Don't mean everything And the way you stood staring As you watched me roll away She loves you and you need me And there's somethings we can't share I'm on a Grehound bound for nowhere Bright lights of a city shining up ahead My heart's analyzing every word you said Did you take me for a fool Or did you really care I'm on a Greyhound bound for nowhere And that ring that you were wearing Don't mean everything And the way that you stood staring AS you watched me roll away She loves you and you need me And there's somethings we can't share I'm on a Greyhound bound for nowhere I'm gonna find someplace I can ease my mind And try to heal my wounded pride rain on the widow and I'm still lonley Time keeps on passing so slowly You're with her and I'm alone And you're wishing I was there I'm on a Greyhound bound for nowhere We're all on a Greyhound bound for nowhere |

I bet this road will take me out of here
Take me far away from Amarillo I bet this car will go real fast The wheels might even drive me past The places that you said I'd never go Oh... The Texas Sky is the biggest one I've seen But it still aint big enough for you and me All the things that make you mad, All the baggage in your past Don't leave much room for a girl like me to be So I'll fill her up with hope and worn-out dreams [Chorus] An I'll grab the wheel and point it west Pack the good and leave the rest I'll drive until I find the missing piece You said I wouldn't get too far on a tank of gas And an empty heart But I have everything I'll ever need I got this old guitar and a brand new set of strings Mama said I never should have done it Should have ended us before we ever started Daddy knew about my pride so he stood there And he smiled inside and I pretended that I Didn't notice a little tear that fell when I said I was going An I'll grab the wheel and point it west Pack the good and leave the rest I'll drive until I find the missing piece You said I wouldn't get too far on a tank of gas And an empty heart But I have everything I'll ever need I got this old guitar and a brand new set of strings I've worried about life and If it's arriving right on time I guess if you don't jump You'll never know if you can fly An I'll grab the wheel and point it west Pack the good and leave the rest I'll drive until I find the missing piece You said I wouldn't get too far on a tank of gas And an empty heart But I have everything I'll ever need I got this old guitar and a brand new set of strings |

I can’t be bothered to miss you anymore
It's month 12, day 31 and hour 24 I used to think if missed hard enough You’d come back for sure But I can’t be bothered now to miss you anymore It’s not like I don’t have tears to cry Such memories, so little time This box of photographs to go through one by one There’s just so much work to get done And I can’t be bothered to miss you anymore It's month 12, day 31 and hour 24 I used to think if missed hard enough you’d come back for sure And I can’t be bothered now to miss you anymore When you skipped town I was such a mess So I found some things To do instead Trick is to find something To occupy your mind Now I spend most days chasing mine And I can’t be bothered to miss you anymore Month 12, day 31 and hour 24 I used to think if missed hard enough you’d come back for sure And I can’t be bothered now to miss you, I’m cuddling up to kiss you And I can’t be bothered now to miss you anymore |

Sweet like a kiss sharp like a razor blade
I find you when I’ m close to the bottom You cant appreciate the time it takes To kick a love I always knew was kind of wrong And as I’m putting out the flame Somebody brings up your name Oh oh oh oh Baby baby baby bring me down I want to be right where you are Baby baby baby bring me down You can look me in the eye and break my heart Break my heart Six AM unruffled pillow Laughs out loud at my trusting heart It’s like I didn’t see the penny I missed the fountain by a couple yards If you would only stay gone Maybe I could move on Oh oh oh oh Baby baby baby bring me down I want to be right where you are Baby baby baby bring me down You can look me in the eye and break my heart Break my heart OH! Baby baby baby bring me down I want to be right where you are Baby baby baby bring me down You can look me in the eye and break my heart Break my heart OH! Baby baby baby bring me down I want to be right where you are Baby baby baby bring me down You can look me in the eye and break my heart Break my heart Bring me down… |

Maybe you're just jaded from some nobody's unforgotten words
Maybe you're just faded a little gray from every time that you've been hurt So you're looking for your skin That you never did fit in You can't hide when you're turned inside out Love is looking for you now Maybe you've been burning But you can't blow out a flame that you can't find Maybe you've been thirsty But the rain just ain't enough when you're this dry So you're running from the water And the fire's getting hotter I think you better find some level ground Love is looking for you now Love is looking for you now Maybe you been wearing The shoes that someone else is wearing now Maybe you've been swearing forever might have already run out You can't love yourself at the expense of someone else You can't hide a liar from the truth Love is looking for you Love is looking for you I've been looking for you Baby I've been lookin... I've been looking for you |

Well the sun just got through going down
On a sleepy little Texas town Population plus one, minus one A new grandma rocks my sister's kid Just like 20 years ago she did The same thing in that same chair She said this one's born to run Every day at noon like a chapel bell Find her Jesus keep her well Help her do more right than wrong, at the end of the day I've got five good gears and a tank of gas, 50 watts and Johnny Cash A guitar and a broken heart Just full of things to say You taught me how to stand those tests and trials But you can't see a desert sunrise in the Bible She loves me more than anything And she wants the world for me Her west dropped off in El Paso And her north in Abilene Mama I'm okay out here I've seen how hard the world can be My step is sure and I know my name I'm strong just like you prayed I'd be I'm strong just like you prayed I'd be If I had done what you and daddy'd done I would have never lost and never won Or gotten myself kicked when I was down I would not know how to travel well A hundred bucks and cheap motels I would not know how to fight for my own heart next time around Don't you cry another night about me In this city I've got angels all around me She loves me more than anything And she wants the world for me Her west dropped off in El Paso And her north in Abilene Mama I'm okay out here I've seen how hard the world can be My step is sure and I know my name I'm strong just like you prayed I'd be I'm strong just like you prayed I'd be I felt it every time you prayed for me I'm strong just like you prayed I'd be |

I'd run away but I can't escape
The power of your pride Your eyes are cold like an empty soul And I'm burning up inside There's nothing wrong with letting go And you're still digging in We're racing to the bottom And I can't find the end And there's a wall standing here between us And that's all that's keeping you from freedom And I keep pushing harder And you keep getting stronger You won't break 'cause you're afraid you'll fall And there's a wall You love me when you want to And you find reasons to fight Another lame excuse To keep the devil on you side You're trying hard to hide those scars That I've already seen Your beat up heart's not the only thing that's keeping you from me And there's a wall standing here between us And that's all that's keeping you from freedom And I keep pushing harder And you keep getting stronger You won't break 'cause you're afraid you'll fall And there's a wall Pain has made you weak and hard I will never be as strong...As strong As this wall standing here between us And that's all that's keeping you from freedom And I keep pushing harder And you keep getting stronger You won't break cause you're afraid you'll fall And there's a wall |

I don't want to see you or feel you
I don't want to look into your eyes I don't want to touch you or miss you I just want to love your memory tonight I can't handle all this pain All we ever do is fight anyway Why we even tried I haven't a clue With hearts involved There's way too much to lose I don't want to see you or feel you I don't want to look into your eyes I don't want to touch you or miss you I just want to love your memory tonight You were something else to look at Your intentions they weren't all bad Tried to make me something I wasn't Lord knows there ain't no future In all that I don't want to see you or feel you I don't want to look into your eyes I don't want to touch you or miss you I just want to love your memory tonight |
