Well, I changed my ways to please that woman
But that could never be good enough
I gave up drinkin and I took up churchin'
For a while it wasn't tough
But barkeep I've made a decision
After doing the best I could
That for better or worse
I'm gonna be bad for good

Three feet tall, five years old
Starin' down to the bottom
of Mountain Top road,
Hands wrapped tight
around those plastic handle grips
I took off flying pickin' up speed
The world was a blur of rocks and weeds
It was all worth the pain of landing
Getting my first

Verse 1:
Up in the mornin'
It's off to work I go
And drivin' along
I got a feelin' for the country
Deep in my soul
I wasn't made for the big town
I need boots spurs and jeans
Outside these city limits
Where the air's cool and clean

And I'm a city cowboy<

Things don't always work out like you plan
But you can't let that hold you back from trying again
I've been falling for you, you need not fear
I've got this proposition I think you should hear

Consider this, living life together
Consider this, seeing the world
Consider

I was thinking 'bout the perfect words
To say to that living doll
By the time that I had worked it out
She was half way down the hall

My schoolboy fears of being shot down
Kept that dream from getting off the ground
Lookin back I figured out I thought about it too long<

Here we are again and you sure look fine
You smile at me and the sparks just fly
I can't understand why this is takin' so long
Somebody must have really done you wrong

Every time I reach for you
You hold back and I'm so confused
How can you pull away from something so s

I could sit at home another Saturday
and channel surf my life away
gonna grab my keys,
get behid the wheel
got no where to go,
just like the way it feels

Cuz life is short
and the road is long
i'll be punchin' dials
lookin' for a drivin' song

Ain't gon

That's a death-deying walk she's got
Dancing to the parking lot… oooo 18

What she does to t-shirts
Sure do make my eyes hurt… ooo, 18

Somebody ought to write a song about ut so I did
Makes me wish I was a kid again… 18

I guess i didn't see
How much she meant to me
I let opportunity pass me by

Been sitting firmly on the fence
When i came to my sense
and let her know how I feel inside
Well, I guess i took too long...

Cuz she's gone
Love has a way of moving on

Everyday an

She could be out in the middle of nowhere
Or walking downtown on a crowded boulevard
No matter where she is
She's hard to miss

Like a streak of midnight lightning across the sky
A summer sunset on a west bound road
From her green eyes to her crimson lips
She's hard

She's not easy to get close to
When you're on the outside looking in
Just when you think you've got her figured out
She'll turn and run away again

She's got a heart like a hurricane
Causing everyone around her pain
But in the eye of the storm
There's a place that's

I'm on the 90 heading north
It's iced up pretty bad
That wind off the lake
Makes it hard to stay on track

There's a pretty little thing
Brown hair and green eyes
Right now she's the number one
Thing on my mind

Chorus
If i can stay on this highway
And g

I've been watching you watchin every girl in the bar
Payin no attention to the one on your arm
You're a dog
Man, she's smokin
I've seen your kind before
and you think you're so cool
This country boy's gonna take you to school
Hold out your hand
no man, I ain't jok

It's a long, long way from here to you
Tell me how do I get there
There's so much I wish I could undo
Tell me how do I get there

Can a million wrong turns
Ever turn me around
Can I ever unburn
The bridges I burn to the ground
Nowhere's too far
Yea, I'd go an

Go tell the sheriff John Roland Wood's found Jesus
Now he's living at the foot of the cross
He testified on the main drag this evening
Said he?s gonna spread the gospel to the lost

The meanest sinner to ever live and breath
Said he's been clean and sober for a week

Wake me up before you leave
I'd like to hear your voice one more time
If you do I can fall back to sleep
And drift off to dream with a smile

I'll miss you while you're gone
When you're out I'll get the laundry done

Some times all it takes
Is an unexpected "I love

I took her keys she took a cab
She made sure the front door slammed
Between the rain and the whiskey,
the whole thing's still a blur
She caught a plane to San Antone
i got that far then the trail went cold
Since then i haven't heard a
single word from her
Now i fo

My jaw hit the floor the day you walked in
All eyes were pointed in your direction
With nothin' to lose I asked you to dance
I didn't think that I'd stand a chance but

(chorus)

Lucky for me you proved me wrong (proved me wrong)
It was a roll of the dice
It

There's a kind of lovin' that don't take much
It'll leave you colder than a stranger's touch
Some guys will lie late at night
Then they're gone by morning light

Well that ain't my way, baby sure enough
If you look my way you'll find my love
Strong as an oak solid as a p

Wake up baby it's time to leave
We got plans and we got dreams
We got a long way to go
Pack up all of your emotions
All your faith and devotion
We're gonna need it this I know
If you're at the edge of the past
Our future's unfolding fast, baby don't look back

We
