A herd of wild horses, a stampede of cows
The sheriff's department with a pack of bloodhounds
Ain't ever gonna move me away from your side
I'm off and running
I'll be here forever now
I've made up my mind

I'd rather drive across Texas in a stolen car
With the ranger

I think, I think I got it under control
Then a curve ball hits the glass
And the world comes crashin' down

We stand, staring at a fork in the road
Lookin' down two long lonely paths
Why can't we just turn around

And believe every fight uphill is worth it
Every tea

I see leaving comin'
Your feeling for me is going nowhere, nowhere
Your heart's no longer in
Your mind's a mile a minute somewhere, not here
So go on and get me over
Tell me I'm old news
I'll take it like a woman
Ain't no big to do

If you're gonna break it
I

Down a dirt road down in southern Louisiana
Flew a white continental with the top laid back
Pretty blonde sitting on a seat of red leather
Dust boiling out of her well-worn tracks
She's goin' back

Moss hangin' down like beards in the bayou
Old folks watching from their

The best thing that I ever did,
At the time was my worst mistake.
Seventeen, an' just a kid,
I was seventeen when I threw my childhood away.
Over a hazel-eyed quarterback.

Senior year and eight months pregnant,
I'd never felt so fat.
Wishin' I could go to Prom but t

She was waiting tables in a diner off of highway 41
On his way to Indiana on another midnight run
So they talked about the weather, and the next thing that youknew
The hours flew by like minutes
It was time he had to go

On a rainy highway halfway out of town
A voice ins

I always knew you were a rambler
Betting on you makes me a gambler
But i fell so hard i ignored your past
Tried to tame your heart but you moved too fast

You're like a handful of water, fistful of sand
The tighter i hold on, the more you slip right through my hands
You

I might wear my jeans too tight
I might kick up my heels all night
I may take a notion to flirt
Or say a word I wouldn't say in church
I might have a hidden tattoo
I may show it to you
I might even make you blush
And I will be mysterious

I ain't one to show rest

I am the truth
I am Honesty
I am listening
When you speak to me

I can ease your pain
Make you stand out in the rain
And wander aimlessly

I am strong, undeniable
I am not afraid, unconditional
I can build you up
I can bring you to your knees
I'm unp

She woke up one Sunday morning
She said a prayer and asked for strength
She put her makeup on just perfect
For the first time in a long time
The mirror showed her grace

She heard him stirring in the kitchen
Last night's whiskey in the air
She could hear him carryin'

You took me out so far that i can't swim to shore
I've been holding on but you're not anymore
Our love would always lead us home
Constant as the northern star
Here's a storm we won't get through cause it's not in your heart

I can feel you drifting slowly out of reach
Ou

You took me out so far that i can't swim to shore
I've been holding on but you're not anymore
Our love would always lead us home
Constant as the northern star
Here's a storm we won't get through cause it's not in
your heart

I can feel you drifting slowly out of reach

Every now and then i'd mention her to him
He'd get that look in his eyes
But it was only there a minute
So i let him get away with it

There was one day he called me by her name
It tore me all up inside
He never even knew he did it
So i let him get away with it

Don't tell me that it's over because i know my heart won't hear
It thinks we'll be together like we've been for all these years
I know this may sound foolish, but you've got to realize

I'd rather be a fool than to say good-bye
I'd rather take my chances that i'll get one more t

I woke up this morning
For the first time in a long time
I felt alright
I didn't dream about you
Like I dreamed about you
All those lonely nights
I poured myself some coffee
Left your cup on the shelf
I'mf finally feeling all right
With being by myself

I

Oh, yeah
Baby, i heard you when you said good-bye
That's the kind of thing you don't have to say twice
Now i hear that you ain't so happy being free
I guess it ain't so easy to forget about me

It ain't so easy, is it, baby, on the other side
It's about to drive you craz

She wakes the kids up for school, the bacon is on the stove
He yells from their bedroom, honey, where'd you put my clothes
The school bus runs right on time
He forgets to kiss her good-bye, walks out talking on his phone
She cleans up the mess they made, goes upstairs and puts he

This conversation is going nowhere fast
Like a train on a dead-end track
There is nowhere left to go

Well, i don't really want to drag this out
If you're going to say it, say it now
No need to take it slow

We both know it's over
I don't need a shoulder
Oh, bab

Sometimes, Lord, it feels like,
The cards'll never fall my way.
And it seems like I spend a lot of time,
Just waitin' for my luck to change.
But I can see the end in the distance up ahead.
An' though I'm not there yet, I keep on going.
'Cause I made up my mind, somehow I

Go ahead baby, overreact.
Tell me how you feel, don't hold back.
It's been way too long since we had a good fight. We both know how we get.
When tempers get heated you know what comes next.
So come on baby let's have it out right now.

Slam the door if you want to.
