I still think about us In the rush that we felt With the rag top down and the radio blasting You were riding shot gun In nothing but a bikini and a seat belt Looking better than the law should have been allowing (chorus) We hit the corners going 90 Lovin' blindly fallin' Head over heels over you Every feeling that we felt Was a feeling that felt brand new And you looked just like an angel With that cross on your necklace You were young, i was wild, we were reckless We'd drive on down to the river Burnin' up those hot summer nights Laughin' at the cowboys getting crazy Pickin' fights It wasn't funny When that deputy, caught you and me Steaming up those windows And how your daddy never found out about it Honey, heaven only knows Chorus I looked into your eyes and I Promised you forever I believed it with all my heart I just didn't know any better Gettin' over you took years Aww despite those tears I cried I'd do it all over again All for the thrill of the ride Chorus Young, wild, and reckless |

She said she was not the one for me
There was nothing I could do to change her mind She said she was sorry but some things aren't meant to be She was unaware that she was robbing her heart blind (Chorus) What she don't know is I'll always love her forever What she don't know is that I've never done her wrong Underestimation will break her heart for sure What she can't see, what she don't know Won't hurt her but it's killing me Deep in the shadows of the smokey neon lights I play myself in a lonely game of pool I chalk it up as he sits down by her side I take another shot, swallow my pride and I play a fool Chorus Watching her dance with him Around that empty hardwood floor Is like putting sawdust in the wound And I cry a little more Chorus |

I'm tryin' not to panic, I'm gettin' all romantic
Gettin' soft with everything I say and do. I'm talkin' hours on the phone, puttin' on that sweet cologne I'm even puttin' down the toilet seat for you. Aw, wait a minute, it gets worse. I found myself holdin' your purse, standin' outside that bra and panty store. My boss's wife walked by, she spotted me and told me hi And I knew then, I was in for it for sure. Now all the boys down at the shop know and they sure do find it funny. They say you've changed my ways and that you're spending all my money, honey. Chorus: If you're not in love, If you're not in love, If you're not in love, Aw, if you're not in love, Then I'm in a lot of trouble. I got this lump in my throat, then I sold my boat So I could buy this diamond ring for you. Now I'm hopin' and I'm wishin' that since I can't go fishin', You won't make me sell my golf clubs, too. The boys down at the shop know and they laugh until I cry I told 'em, if I mess this up, my momma's gonna tan my hide. Chorus I gave up that can of Snuff, no more NASCAR on TV. Honey, if that ain't enough, this may be the death of me. Chours (x2) |

Well once upon a time When I held you in my arms On a blanket in the grass Where we'd watch the falling stars Under that old maple tree We'd share secrets in the dark Now I sit here all alone Watching children play In Mackenzie Park (Chorus) And we lived, laughed, and loved as if There were no tomorrow Up until the day you went away Leaving only sorrow Now the stars don't shine The way they used to do Like they did when you were mine Perhaps they're lonely too You can barely read the names That I carved inside a heart Now I sit here all alone Watching children play In Mackenzie Park (Chorus) Sometimes I think of you And I just have to smile Though forever never was At least we had a little while How time flies when you're young Just like the flicker of a spark Now I sit here all alone Watching children play In Mackenzie Park |

Rubbin' in my coconut sunscreen You'd think you'd be the last thing on my mind I've got a beautiful ocean view Ten thousand miles from you So Why couldn't I leave this broken heart behind (Chorus) Oh The sunshine is dancin' on the water Pretty girls couldn't get any hotter If I keep tellin' myself I'm havin' the time of my life Maybe it'll come true and I won't miss you Welcome to a fool's paradise Well I keep on tellin' me There's other fish in the sea But your memory keeps reminding me I'm wrong There's a party 'bout every night And I should be out doin' it up right Instead of watchin' re-runs of Gilligan's Island all alone (all night long) (Chorus) Oh the moonlight is dancin' on the water Pretty girls couldn't get any hotter If I keep tellin' myself I'm havin' the time of my life Maybe it'll come true and I won't miss you Welcome to a fool's paradise This time next week I'll be headed to Texas On a big jet airplane Oh when I get home you know this broken heart is gonna hit me like a hurricane (Chorus) Oh The sunshine is dancin' on the water Pretty girls couldn't get any hotter If I keep tellin' myself I'm havin' the time of my life Maybe it'll come true and I won't miss you Welcome to a fool's paradise |

I always will remember - those sultry desert nights
(Our) hearts burning with a passion Whoa, it's never felt so right It was meant to last forever - but when I reached out you were gone It's taken time to mend this broken heart and forget you done me wrong Now you're back after all this time You've reawakened all the feelings that I've tried so hard to hide But baby - Will you love me like you loved me yesterday? That's all I need to know Will you love me like you loved yesterday? Or will you just let me go? We could leave the pain behind us - take a shot at love again We could fool ourselves believing that our love would never end I've been missing you - whoa - what should I do? Did you really have a change of heart Or are you playing me for a fool? You don't have to tell me where you've been But there is one thing I've gotta know before I let you in Baby - Will you love me like you loved me yesterday? That's all I need to know Will you love me like you loved yesterday? Or will you just let me go? We could leave the pain behind us - take a shot at love again We could fool ourselves believing that our love would never end I've been missing you - whoa - what should I do? Did you really have a change of heart Or are you playing me for a fool? ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By NELSON, MATTHEW GRAY/NELSON, GUNNAR/BAILEY, BRAD THOMAS <i>Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing</i> |

With the world in the palm of his hands
Slipping through his fingers just like grains of sand He don't know his hourglass is losing time Till she run out of patience and leaves him far behind Chorus: Some lovers gotta learn love the hard way Before they understand the way they feel Some lovers are slower than others Some will come around and some never will If only she had a dime every time he's done her wrong Or for every one wondering why she's still holding on She could buy that rodeo and shut it down Along with every honky tonkin' bar in town Chorus: Some lovers gotta learn love the hard way Before they understand the way they feel Some lovers are slower than others Some will come around and some never will It may be his fault but she's still one to blame For taking him back and playing his foolish games Chorus: Some lovers gotta learn love the hard way Before they understand the way they feel Some lovers are slower than others Some will come around and some never will |

Blaming each other for where it all went Never thinking of love only paying the loans Griping bout' bills and keeping up with the Jones Just once let's forget about making ends meet Or whose got the nicest yard on the street Darlin' let loose, let your hair down We're staying at home for a night on the town [Chorus] So turn the music up, and dim the lights down Let those old records keep spinning around Replace all our worries with some romance Tell me you love me then we'll shut up and dance When you're in my arms it makes me feel Like I own a mansion on top of the hil But it's not how big's the house it's how happy's the home How poor is a rich man who lives all alone [Chorus: x2] |

Well I guess we'll get our freedom, and a so called fresh new start, when you take half of everything you'll be takin' half my heart. Our love got lost somewhere in lifes compligations, told between to lies and their legal inigation. Off the record something I need to say to you, this aint easy but it's what my heart has to do. Cause I cant let you go until i let you know, off the record im stilll in love with you. I took down our wedding picture from above the fireplace, and I stood there awile staring at your pretty face. How we lost our love, diffrences and cares are off. But if push comes to shove thank God no children are involved. I can still see you thrown your rose boqute, never thought i'd see the day we throw it all away. Off the record something I need to say to you, this aint easy but its what my heart has to do. Cause I cant let you go until I let you know off the record im still in love with you. I've done all I can do all I can do is pray, and ask the Good Lord to let me hear you say, Off the record something I need to say to you this aint easy, but it's what my heart has to do Cause I cant let you go until I let you know off the record im still in love with you.

Well I was thumbing through the channels
And I saw a sight to see A so-called country singer, there singing on MTV And I began to think - had she ever heard a thing Had she ever been to Texas where Bob Wills is still the king Ah - ha From the Houston rodeo to any old dancehall Of cowgirls and cowboys know how to have a ball And every night they'll tip a toast to the Lone Star state Where the women are so fine and the music is so great Cause I wanna two-step to a real dancehall swinger I don't wanna see no wanna-be country western singer Don't call it country unless you can prove it I want something with a swing to it Aw yeah... All together now.... It's a Texas thing, Y'all So if you don't understand just drop what you're doing Drive here as quick as you can I'd even stop in Oklahoma if it was up to me Cause when it comes to country, there ain't none like I wanna two-step to a real dancehall swinger I don't wanna see no wanna-be country western singer Don't call it country unless you can prove it I want something with a swing to it That hip-hoppin' rappin' boy band crap is for the squirrels in San Francisco And Nashville is making music that sounds like a dadgum disco Don't call it country unless you can prove it I want something with a swing to it Yes, I said don't call it country unless you can prove it I want something with a swing to it That's right... |

You strolled down Bourbon Street Lookin' for an easy mark With every man you meet And I never saw the devil Behind your rain blue eyes Spellbound by your long legs and your little white lies Oh, heaven help the heart that falls head over heels Cause you'll tear it all apart just to see how it feels How can you be so hot and so cold-blooded too Oh, heaven help the heart that falls in love with you You're no Adalida, no pretty Cajun queen Just a bad girl from Biloxi, more addicting than morphine And when your love wears off There's nothin' left but pain And enough teardrops fall to flood Lake Ponchatrain Oh, heaven help the heart that falls head over heels Cause you'll tear it all apart just to see how it feels How can you be so hot and so cold-blooded too Oh, heaven help the heart that falls in love with you I can see you smilin' in some Creole cafe Slippin' your love potion in someone's ettouffe Oh, heaven help the heart that falls head over heels Cause you'll tear it all apart just to see how it feels How can you be so hot and so cold-blooded too Oh, heaven help the heart that falls in love with you Oh, heaven help the heart that falls head over heels Cause you'll tear it all apart just to see how it feels How can you be so hot and so cold-blooded too Oh, heaven help the heart that falls in love with you Oh, heaven help the heart that falls in love with you |

Well I was thumbing through the channels
And I saw a sight to see A so-called country singer, there singing on MTV And I began to think - had she ever heard a thing Had she ever been to Texas where Bob Wills is still the king Ah - ha From the Houston rodeo to any old dancehall Of cowgirls and cowboys know how to have a ball And every night they'll tip a toast to the Lone Star state Where the women are so fine and the music is so great Cause I wanna two-step to a real dancehall swinger I don't wanna see no wanna-be country western singer Don't call it country unless you can prove it I want something with a swing to it Aw yeah... All together now.... It's a Texas thing, Y'all So if you don't understand just drop what you're doing Drive here as quick as you can I'd even stop in Oklahoma if it was up to me Cause when it comes to country, there ain't none like I wanna two-step to a real dancehall swinger I don't wanna see no wanna-be country western singer Don't call it country unless you can prove it I want something with a swing to it That hip-hoppin' rappin' boy band crap is for the squirrels in San Francisco And Nashville is making music that sounds like a dadgum disco Don't call it country unless you can prove it I want something with a swing to it Yes, I said don't call it country unless you can prove it I want something with a swing to it That's right... |

We both work hard for money already spent
Blaming each other for where it all went Never thinking of love only paying the loans Griping bout' bills and keeping up with the Jones Just once let's forget about making ends meet Or whose got the nicest yard on the street Darlin' let loose, let your hair down We're staying at home for a night on the town [Chorus] So turn the music up, and dim the lights down Let those old records keep spinning around Replace all our worries with some romance Tell me you love me then we'll shut up and dance When you're in my arms it makes me feel Like I own a mansion on top of the hil But it's not how big's the house it's how happy's the home How poor is a rich man who lives all alone [Chorus: x2] |

With the world in the palm of his hands
Slipping through his fingers just like grains of sand He don't know his hourglass is losing time Till she run out of patience and leaves him far behind Chorus: Some lovers gotta learn love the hard way Before they understand the way they feel Some lovers are slower than others Some will come around and some never will If only she had a dime every time he's done her wrong Or for every one wondering why she's still holding on She could buy that rodeo and shut it down Along with every honky tonkin' bar in town Chorus: Some lovers gotta learn love the hard way Before they understand the way they feel Some lovers are slower than others Some will come around and some never will It may be his fault but she's still one to blame For taking him back and playing his foolish games Chorus: Some lovers gotta learn love the hard way Before they understand the way they feel Some lovers are slower than others Some will come around and some never will |

He calls from a hotel in downtown Dallas
Says he won't be home for three more days She gets so lonely in her Houston hill top palace Talking to her self as their two-year-old plays She rocks the baby to sleep then gets in bed Reads romance novels of a love she once had She closes her eyes and dreams about the man Who gave her more than money and a call now and then Chorus: As the shine on her diamond starts to fade She recalls the promises they made But a bond can only bend so far before it breaks She's stuck between a rock and a heartache She tries to keep busy with her everyday routines Soap operas in the afternoons, after she cleans As she wipes off a picture frame from their wedding day She wonders if he asked her again what would she say Chorus She feels like she's stranded somewhere in no man's land Cause her life is like a prisoner's chained to a wedding band Chorus |

Well I've done some things that I can't undo
I took your trust and I tore it into No man in his right mind would have said it's over Still I told you goodbye completely sober I wish I could say I'd been drinking And blame the bottle but I've never been one to booze Lord only knows what I was thinking Wish I could say I'd been drinking Even that's just a fool's excuse My mama knows her baby boy knows better It's gonna break her heart to hear we're not together She's always said she cares so much for you So what is she gonna say about the hell I've put you through I wish I could say I'd been drinking And blame the bottle but I've never been one to booze Lord only knows what I was thinking Wish I could say I'd been drinking Even that's just a fool's excuse Even Tennessee whiskey couldn't wash away the pain Watered down with teardrops over light Kentucky rain I wish I could say I'd been drinking And blame the bottle but I've never been one to booze Lord only knows what I was thinking Wish I could say I'd been drinking Even that's just a fool's excuse I wish I could say I'd been drinking And blame the bottle but I've never been one to booze Lord only knows what I was thinking Wish I could say I'd been drinking Even that's just a fool's excuse |

I was singing at the ol' Broken Spoke
I could have swore she came walking in Forgot the words to a song that I wrote Must be losing my mind once again Her daddy is a southern Baptist preacher I had to choose her or the bars where I sang Now when I call I can't seem to reach her I'm gonna find her if it's the last thing Chorus: So I'll drive all night long Till I find where we went wrong But there's no love in sight - Just those lonely Lubbock lights I was ready to give up the road As I turned onto her street But the silhouette there in her window Was of someone who once looked like me I'd placed a price on her heart But someone else collected the bounty Now this lost soul don't know where to start I think I'm lost somewhere in Hale County Chorus That west Texas wind grew colder As I left her further behind me Sometimes I stop and cry on the shoulder Cause every town I pass helps to remind me Chorus |

Deep in the mountain of Harlan County
Employed by the Cumberland coal company The pay is short, the days are long But our labor union laws are coming on strong So I drink this whiskey for my throat Wear my hard hat and weathered coat Early every morning I stand in line Waiting to work these Kentucky coal mines We enter the shaft around five thirty With two dozen hands, cold, callused and dirty We'll dig through a million tons of rock and clay And we'll still be digging at the end of the day Down on our knees we confess our sins And pray that the roof above don't cave in So bless our hearts and save or souls And the air we breathe down in the devil's hole Just last week when the the ceiling fell The explosion trapped us in the depths of hell The weight of the earth took poor Tucker's life Leaving behind a hungry baby and wife We dug out with our shovels and picks But soon enough the black lung disease will make us sick So bless our hearts and save or souls And the air we breathe down in the devil's hole I work deep in the mountains of eastern Kentucky I know if I leave Harlan alive I'll be more than lucky Wish I could go to Texas and plant some cottonseed But moving takes money and I've got three mouths to feed So I drink this whiskey for my throat Wear my hard hat and weathered coat Early every morning I stand in line Waiting to work another Kentucky coal mine |

I got a letter from your lawyer you got one from mine. They both say it's gonna be fine, once we sign that dotted line. Well I guess we'll get our freedom, and a so called fresh new start, when you take half of everything you'll be takin' half my heart. Our love got lost somewhere in lifes compligations, told between to lies and their legal inigation. Off the record something I need to say to you, this aint easy but it's what my heart has to do. Cause I cant let you go until i let you know, off the record im stilll in love with you. I took down our wedding picture from above the fireplace, and I stood there awile staring at your pretty face. How we lost our love, diffrences and cares are off. But if push comes to shove thank God no children are involved. I can still see you thrown your rose boqute, never thought i'd see the day we throw it all away. Off the record something I need to say to you, this aint easy but its what my heart has to do. Cause I cant let you go until I let you know off the record im still in love with you. I've done all I can do all I can do is pray, and ask the Good Lord to let me hear you say, Off the record something I need to say to you this aint easy, but it's what my heart has to do Cause I cant let you go until I let you know off the record im still in love with you. Girl off the record im still in love with you. |
