It's about time you came around I'm still trying to figure out What's so good about This life you found Yes, I'm doing fine now But I'm still trying to figure out Just when I lost you Where and how
[Chorus] But it's tried and it's true And there's nothing I can do But make it through everyday
Johnny Walker's on the table He tends to soothe since you're unable Day after day, after day Johnny's walking all over me Slowly gaining control Of my destiny
[Chorus]
You make the pain go away When you say You still love me You warm the chill that's in my heart When you start With the stories of yesteryear When you were here I don't know why I can't let go I'd like to say goodbye
But you're burned in my mind You're burned in my mind
[Chorus]
Well it's about time you came around I'm still trying to figure out What's so good about this life you've found You make the pain go away When you say you still love me You warm the chill that's in my heart When you start with the stories of yesteryear When you were here I don't know why I can't let you go I'd like to say goodbye
But you're burned in my mind You're burned in my mind
Everyone says it's no big deal Nothin' a little more time won't heal Sooner or later the way I fell will change But they never hurt the way I do 'Cause they never had to get over you So they never shared my point of view of the pain
I've either gotta leave the past behind Or find myself a way to lose my mind I'm ready for a change of any kind For better or worse I'll take whatever comes first
There's only so much a man can take Before his reality starts to break Especially holdin' an old heartache like you Somebody's leavin' I don't care who But there's not enough room in my mind for two It's finally come down to me or you
I've either gotta leave the past behind Or find myself a way to lose my mind I'm ready for a change of any kind For better or worse I'll take whatever comes first
I've either gotta leave the past behind Or find myself a way to lose my mind I'm ready for a change of any kind For better or worse I'd do anything, go anywhere Show me some way out and girl I'm there It's gotten to the point where I don't care Blessing or curse I'll take whatever comes first
She loves to love me I love it when she does When we get together I feel a bit corrupt
When she feels the yearnin' I just let her go And we're off to somewhere Way out of control
I've got a devil on both of my shoulders When that angel's in my arms She sets me free when I get to hold her She lights a fire in my heart My self-control is at an all-time low When I hear a voice sayin' way to go In stereo I got a devil on both of my shoulders
I know it oughta be illegal For us to have this much fun And I know my choice between good and evil But there's a devil on both of my shoulders
I've got a devil on both of my shoulders When that angel's in my arms She sets me free when I get to hold her She lights a fire in my heart My self-control is at an all-time low When I hear a voice sayin' way to go In stereo I got a devil on both of my shoulders
Caught in the middle of the powers that be When I feel my Conscience gangin' up on me
I've got a devil on both of my shoulders When that angel's in my arms She sets me free when I get to hold her She lights a fire in my heart My self-control is at an all-time low When I hear a voice sayin' way to go In stereo I got a devil on both of my shoulders
Things are too simple, things are too hard Nobody's happy with the way things are Looking for the quick fix, the short term loan Got to rent ?cause you might not be here long enough to own The way I see it the trouble with the world these days It's getting way too easy just to drive away
With you and me baby it's up and down We're moving the earth or we're on shaky ground We talk about forever when it's all going smooth Or moving out tomorrow if things don't improve Well the way I see it the trouble with love these days It's gotten way too easy just to drive away
And you can drive away If you've got half a mind to and half a tank you can Drive away First sign of trouble first little thing goes wrong You can climb in your car and drive till you're gone
Whatever we've got it's worth the risk To read a little promise into every kiss You pay for the music but you do get to dance When you love somebody it's not that big a chance The way I see it we've got every reason to stay And every reason to go together if we drive away
And we can drive away If we need to start again, that's ok, we can Drive away Till we find that place where we can live on faith That we'll never again have to drive away
Promises hung out on the line Sparkle and shine in the daylight Promises and little vows unspoken All too soon lie broken it he arms of the night I promised myself I would never fall again Vowed to my soul not to trust in love, but then you delivered
You promised me honesty and your word was good And you came through on everything you said you would You gave your heart, you gave your all and nothing less And all you kept were your promises
Promises, sometimes hearts need proof It's hard to tell the truth when you hear it Promises, girl when they come from you They breathe new life into my lonely spirit You promised your love would be all I ever need For once in my life there's a reason to believe in forever
You promised me honesty and your word was good And you came through on everything you said you would You gave your heart, you gave your all and nothing less And all you kept were your promises
And the only thing you kept, were your Promises, hung out on the line Sparkle and shine in the daylight
I used to be a really sensible guy I had a plan I was in control Then love came and changed my mind Not to mention my heart Not to mention my soul
When you're dealin' with a thing like love You're dealin' with unseen forces Just when you think that you're safe enough You get carried away by wild, wild horses
When it's right Nobody has to tell you, you just know When it's right When it's right in front of you just let go Her heart will never have to think twice When it's right
You want to know how true love feels You want to be a big romancer You want to know if your love is real Well, if you have to ask then there's your answer
When it's right Nobody has to tell you, you just know When it's right When it's right in front of you just let go Her heart will never have to think twice When it's right
There's somebody for everybody, I believe it's true When you see the signals and you feel the heartbeats You'll know what to say and do
When it's right Nobody has to tell you, you just know When it's right When it's right in front of you just let go Her heart will never have to think twice When it's right
Colorado's just to cold You see I'm a gulf coast boy by heart It's in my blood Where I left my soul The pain all started way back when I lost faith in us again Pulled up my roots And replanted them in paradise Where my life has gone to hell
Life was fine, back home, back then And I could blame it on the state I'm in Colorado's just to perfect To be this hell I've run to To get away from you
These white-capped mountains and deep blue skies I can't admire through these shallow brown eyes It can't be done Without you life ain't no fun Precious gifts I take for granted I started with you now this place I'm planted is bringing me down Girl, I'm all peaked out in paradise Where my life has gone to hell
Life was fine, back home, back then So I blame it on the state I'm in Colorado's just too perfect To be this hell I've run to To get away from you
Life was fine, back home, back then And I could blame it on the state I'm in Colorado's just to perfect To be this hell I've run to To get away from you
I can tell by the trail of tears that's there on your sleeve That your only souvenir is a pain that won't leave All he left behind are the lies he told you Now the arms of your favorite chair are all that hold you
Baby you can't go to him no more Cry on his shoulder; baby that's over You can't hide inside his arms He won't let you; baby I bet ya Need someone to dry away your tears Baby you can come cryin' to me Anytime
I can tell by the way you're shakin' and the crack of your voice That you feel as if this aching is your only choice You think broken hearts last forever But I know that I can mend what has been severed
Baby you can't go to him no more Cry on his shoulder; baby that's over You can't hide inside his arms He won't let you; baby I bet ya Need someone to dry away your tears Baby you can come cryin' to me Anytime
You could say I never liked the square life You could blame it on my circle of friends It's just been me, Jack D., Jimmy B. and Johnny Walker Red Thought of raising my standard of living 'Cause you know it's never mattered to me If I was sleeping it off in a Ford or GMC
All along I knew there was something missing Or maybe that something is someone To fill this hole in my heart
Bring on the angel, bring on true love I've been fooled by the devil But Lord I'm listening now
It's not that I didn't have love in my life I had a different love every night And it's not that it didn't feel good I just didn't feel right
And all along there was something I've been wishing That I'd find my certain someone To fill this hole in my heart
Bring on the angel, bring on true love I've been fooled by the devil But Lord I'm listening now
I know I haven't stayed in touch But if it's not asking for too much Bring on my angel
Bring on the angel, bring on true love I've been fooled by the devil But Lord I'm listening now
Bring on the angel, bring on true love I've been fooled by the devil But Lord I'm listening now
