Looking out the window Waitin' for your heading lights To pull up in the driveway It's really coming down tonight Your scared that I won't make it through the storm You should be here with me safe and warm I'll be waiting under the mistletoe While you're driving here through the winter snow Baby think of me if it helps you get you home When the only gift that I really need Is to have your arms wrapped around on me Baby think of me if it helps to get you home Home this Christmas Pacing down the hallway Trying to fight the urge to call I could almost hear a pin drop Except for the clock on the wall And I'm scared that you won't make it through the storm You should be here with me safe and warm I'll be waiting under the mistletoe While you're driving here through the winter snow Baby think of me if it helps you get you home When the only gift that I really need Is to have your arms wrapped around on me Baby think of me if it helps to get you home Home this Christmas I'm praying that you make it home tonight So we could lay down by the fireside You and I till Christmas morning There's nothing else that I want this year More than just to have you here I'll be waiting I'll be waiting under the mistletoe While you're driving here through the winter snow Baby think of me if it helps you get you home When the only gift that I really need Is to have your arms wrapped around on me Baby think of me if it helps to get you home Home this Christmas Looking out the window Waitin' for your heading lights To pull up in the driveway It's really coming down tonight
It ain't complicated Well, I've grown to hate it I never liked the taste of crow but baby I ate it They tried to warn me They said that you were ornery So don't bring me those big brown eyes and tell me that you're sorry Well you might as well throw gasoline on a fire The way you lie
You lie like a priceless Persian rug on a rich man's floor You lie like a coon dog basking in the sunshine on my porch You like like a penny in the parking lot at the grocery store It just comes way too natural to you The way you lie
That ain't my perfume I bet she had a curfew You told me you were out with the boys and baby I believed you So why you lookin' so nervous You know you're gonna deserve this I oughta kill you right now and do the whole wide world a service Well my daddy's gonna straighten you out like a piece of wire, like a piece of wire The way you lie
You lie like the man with the slick black hair who sold me that Ford You lie like a pine tree in the back yard after last month's storm You lie like a penny in the parking lot at the grocery store It just comes way too natural to you The way you lie
Well, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do I'm gonna drive into the big ol' muddy river I'm gonna park my car in the middle of the mile-long bridge And then I'm gonna cry well maybe just a little Then I'm gonna slip off the ring that you put on my finger Give it a big ol' fling and watch it sink Down, down, down There it's gonna lie Until the Lord comes back around
Because you lie like a priceless Persian rug on a rich man's floor You lie like a coon dog basking in the sunshine on my porch You like like a penny in the parking lot at the grocery store It just comes so dang natural to you The way you lie The way you lie Well it's what you do, it's who you are
If I die young, bury me in satin Lay me down on a, bed of roses Sink me in the river, at dawn Send me away with the words of a love song
Uh oh, uh oh
Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh well Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
The sharp knife of a short life, well I've had just enough time
If I die young, bury me in satin Lay me down on a bed of roses Sink me in the river at dawn Send me away with the words of a love song
The sharp knife of a short life, well I've had just enough time
And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger, I've never known the lovin' of a man But it sure felt nice when he was holdin' my hand, There's a boy here in town, says he'll love me forever, Who would have thought forever could be severed by
The sharp knife of a short life, well, I've had just enough time
So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls What I never did is done
A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell 'em for a dollar They're worth so much more after I'm a goner And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin' Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'
If I die young, bury me in satin Lay me down on a bed of roses Sink me in the river at dawn Send me away with the words of a love song
Uh oh (uh, oh) The ballad of a dove (oh, uh) Go with peace and love Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket Save 'em for a time when you're really gonna need 'em, oh
The sharp knife of a short life, well I've had just enough time
He was sweet as cotton candy at a county fair Well he's a cold drink of water with butterscotch hair He swore that he loved me Well I guess he probably did 'cause when he rolled up his sleeve one day I saw my name next to his A new tattoo stinging like a hornet Two little hearts like a big red warning I wasn't looking for a permanent thing First comes the ink then comes the ring Burn burn baby I bet we could've made a bunch of sweet memories You should have slowed down mister Moving like a twister's just a little fast for me So now it's 0 to 60 And if you ever miss me I'm right there on your arm Don't you cry I'll leave you something behind Skid marks and a double heart Well he's a tough bronc buster I bet he sleeps in his boots Well he tried to throw a rope around me right out of the shoot He swore that he loved me Well I reckon he probably did 'cause when he rolled up his sleeve one day I thought here we go again A new tattoo burning like a brand Two little hearts on my rodeo man I wasn't looking for a permanent thing First comes the ink then comes the ring Burn burn baby I bet we could've made a bunch of sweet memories You should have slowed down mister Moving like a twister's just a little fast for me Well now it's 0 to 60 And if you ever miss me I'm right there on your arm Don't you cry I'll leave you something behind Skid marks and a double heart I'm a free bird A new tattoo whistling Dixie Two little hearts ain't gonna get me I'm not looking for a permanent thing So don't you put ink 'til I take the ring Burn burn baby I bet we could've made a bunch of sweet memories You should have slowed down mister Moving like a twister's just a little fast for me Well now it's 0 to 60 And if you ever miss me I'm right there on your arm Don't you cry I'll leave you something behind Skid marks and a skid marks and a Skid marks and a double heart Well I'm a free bird
I remember when my heart caught the fever You were standing all alone in the summer heat I was with my boyfriend my new boyfriend he was as sweet as he could be But one look at you and I was through my heart switched up on me Like a postcard from Paris when I've seen the real thing Its like finding out your diamond is from an old promise ring Come on back from your fortune teller she read your cards upside down The meanest thing you ever did is come around and now I'm ruined I'm ruined In the evening you can catch me daydreaming Did that moment send you reeling just like me I should have gone over right over I should of never let you leave But its the never knowing that keeps this going and drives me crazy Like a postcard from Paris when I've seen the real thing Its like finding out your diamond is from an old promise ring Come on back from your fortune teller she read your cards upside down The meanest thing you ever did is come around Just when I thought things were alright my eyes play tricks on my mind yeah Will I ever be satisfied cause all I ever seem to find is a postcard from Paris when i need the real thing its like finding out your diamond is from an old promise ring Come on back from your fortune teller she read your cards upside down The meanest thing you ever did the cruelest thing you ever did the meanest thing you ever did is come around I am ruined I'm ruined I am ruined yeah I am ruined
