In my rearview mirror
My life is getting clearer
The sunset sighs and slowly disappears
These trinkets once were treasure
Life changes like the weather
You grow up, grow old or hit the road 'round here
So I drive, watching white lines passing by
With my plastic dashboard Jesus, waiting there to greet us
Hey, hey, I finally found my way
Say goodbye to yesterday
Hit the gas there ain't no brakes on the lost highway
Yeah I'm busting loose, I'm letting go
Out on this open road
It's independence day on this lost highway
I don't know where I'm going
But I know where I've been
Now I'm afraid of going back again
So I drive, years and miles are flying by
And waiting there to great us
Is my plastic dashboard Jesus
Oh patron saint of lonely souls
To tell this boy which way to go
Guide the car, you got the keys
Farewell to mediocrity
Kicking off the cruise-control
And turning up the radio
Got just enough religion
And a half tank of gas come on, let's go
. . .

Feels something like summertime
Top down ain't nothing but time
Radio's on and you're by my side
Feels something like summertime
These days life goes like this
Wake up, check that off of some list
Gotta be a little something more than this
The botton of my coffee cup
I keep a, postcard in the back of my mind
White sand, sunshine
And you sining like a brand new daimond
It's keeping me for giving up
Thinking like I had enough
You make me feel something like summertime
Top down ain't nothing but time
Radio's on and you're by my side
Feels something like summertime
Like af irst slow dance and a first long kiss
There ain't nothing baby better then this
It's like a beach blanket and a bottle of wine
It feels omething like summertime
Sum-summer-summertime
I was a warm breeze with a cool tan
Life mapped out on the back of my hand
When i was laughing i was making plans
But i didnt laugh when i found you
Theres a heaven baby your the proof
You make me feel something like summertime
Top down ain't nothing but time
Radio's on and you're by my side
Feels something like summertime
Like a first slow dance and a first long kiss
There ain't nothing baby better then this
It's like a beach blanket and a bottle of wine
It feels omething like summertime
Sum-summer-summertime
SOLO
Feel something like summertime
Top down ain't nothing but time
Radio's on for me and my valentine
It's like that first slow dance and that first long kiss
There ain't nothing baby better then this
It's like a beach blanket and a bottle of wine (yeah)
Feels something like summertime
Top down ain't nothing but time
Radio's on and you're by my side,
Feels something like summertime
Just like summer time
Sum-sum-sumertime
Something like summertime

Hello again, it's you and me
Kinda always like it used to be
Sippin' wine, killing time
Trying to solve life's mysteries
How's your life, it's been a while
God it's good to see you smile
I see you reaching for your keys
Looking for a reason not to leave
If you don't know if you should stay
If you don't say what's on your mind
Baby just breathe
There's nowhere else tonight we should be
You wanna make a memory
I dug up this old photograph
Look at all that hair we had.
It's bittersweet to hear you laugh
Your phone is ringing I don't wanna ask
If you go now, I'll understand
If you stay, hey, I've got a plan
We're gonna make a memory
You wanna steal a piece of time
You can sing the melody to me
And I can write a couple of lines
You wanna make a memory
If you don't know if you should stay
And you don't say what's on your mind
Baby just breathe
There's nowhere else tonight we should be
We Should be
You wanna make a memory
You wanna steal a piece of time
You can sing the melody to me
And I can write a couple of lines
You wanna make a memory (x2)

It's pretty cold for late September
the autumn wind is creeping in
the summer sun packed up it's long gone
there's a whole lot of leaving going on.
I'll bet it's warm in California
I think it's time to hit the road
I just might call that band of gypsies
Go searching for our pot of gold
Seems like lately there's a whole lot
Of leaving going on.
CHOURS:
I close my eyes and picture your hand in mine
I still hear your voice
It takes me back to that time
Where I could find a reason to be strong
Seems like lately there's a whole lot of leaving goin on
Close the window draw the curtains
You ain't the only one here hurtin'
No one's right no one's wrong
Lately there's a whole lot of leavin' goin' on
CHORUS
SOLO
You used to live to say you love me
Now you got one foot out the door
Its then you turn around and ask me
Do we got it anymore
I close my eyes and picture your hand in mine
I still hear your voice
It takes me back to that time
When I need a reason to be strong
I close my eyes and picture your hand in mine
Yeah, I walk the line
You'll never hear me saying good bye
So pretty baby, please be strong
Seems like lately there's a whole lot of leavin' goin' on
I'll come back for you baby
. . .

Alarm clock rings, it's 6:45
Must have hit that snooze button least 3 times,
I'm wishing thsi morning was still last night,
On any other day,
Just might wanna die,
Traffics backed up 20miles to the east,
Must have hit every damn red light on the street,
The weatherman says it's going to rain for a week,
Hey what can you do?
On any other day i'd be blue eyes crying,
I could tell the world, at least im trying,
The clouds are breaking the sun is shining new,
For me and you,
On any other day, I might just go crazy,
The grace of knowing that you're gonna save me,
Maybe luck and love can pull us through
On any other day, I might just stay in bed,
Sit down in a sea of blankets,
Pull em up over my head,
Catch a beer buzz in the morning,
Just to get a little edge,
Then maybe just get up and down and do it all again,
Hey, I like where this it's going,
Yeah, cause I know where it's been
On any other day I'd be blue eyes crying,
I could tell the world, at least I'm trying,
The clouds are breaking the sun is shining new,
For me and you,
On any other day, I might just go crazy,
The grace of knowing that you're gonna save me,
Maybe luck and love can pull us through,
Alarm clock rings, it's 6:45
I like waking up with you on my mind,
Knowing that your saving me, one more time,
On any other day I'd be blue eyes crying,
I could tell the world, at least I'm trying,
The clouds are breaking the sun is shining new,
For me and you,
On any other day, I might just go crazy,
The grace of knowing that you're gonna save me,
Maybe luck and love can pull us through,
On any other day, (yeah yeah)
Any other day
Any other day
On any other day I'd be blue eyes crying,
I could tell the world, at least I'm trying,
The clouds are breaking the sun is shining new,
For me and you,
. . .

A long slow drive down an old dirt road,
You've got your hand out the window,
Listening to the radio,
That's where I want to be ...
On an old park bench
In the middle of December
Cold hard rain falling,
Can't find no cover
That would be alright with me ...
Hard Days, good times,
Blue skies, dark nights
Baby, I want you to take me ...
Wherever you're going to
Maybe say that you'll save me ...
A seat next to you.
In the corner booth of a downtown bar,
With your head on my shoulder
Smoking on a cheap cigar …
That would be alright with me
In the back row of
A movie or a cross-town train
I want to hear your voice
Whispering my name ...
That's who I want to be
Hard Days, good times,
Blue skies, dark nights
Baby, say that you take me ...
Wherever you're going to
Maybe say that you'll save me ...
A seat next to you.
Life is like a ferris wheel,
Spinning around
When you get to the top
It's hard to look down
Just hang on ...
We'll make it through
Save me …
A seat next to you
When you get to the gates
And the angels sing,
Go to that place
Where the church bells ring
You know I'll come running ...
Running to find you ...
Baby, say that you'll take me ...
Wherever you're going to
Baby I want you to save me ...
A seat next to you
. . .

Welcome to the party,
Come on in and disappear,
You're feeling like stranger,
But all your friends are here,
Little lies and cracks,
Around your eyes and mouth,
Something's trying to get in,
Something's trying to get out,
It's ok, to be a little broken,
Everybody's broken, in this life,
It's ok, to feel a little broken,
Everybody's broken, your alright,
It's just life,
Step into the deep end,
Make yourself at home,
When you wonder why your breathing,
Know your not alone,
Its so hard to believe,
Its easier to doubt,
You're trying to hold in,
But your dying to scream out,
It's ok to be a little broken,
Everybody's broken,
In this life,
It's ok to feel a little broken,
Everybody's broken, your alright,
It's alright, its just life
Solo
Take a look around,
Tell me what you see,
Is who you think you are,
Who you want to be,
It's ok, to be a little broken,
Everybody's broken, in this life,
It's ok, to feel a little broken,
Everybody's broken, your alright,
Just keep on going,
Eyes wide open,
Everybody's broken
Everybody's broken
Everybody's broken
Everybody's broken
Everybody's broken
Everybody's broken
Yeah
. . .

(feat. Leann Rimes)
It might be hard to be lovers
But it's harder to be friends
Baby pull down the covers
It's time you let me in
Maybe light a couple candles
I'll just go ahead and lock the door
If you just talk to me baby
Till we ain't strangers anymore
Lay your head on my pillow
I sit beside you on the bed
Don't you think it's time we say
Some things we haven't said
It ain't too late to get back to that place
Back to where, we thought it was before
Why don't you look at me
Till we ain't strangers anymore
Sometimes it's hard to love me
Sometimes it's hard to love you too
I know it's hard believing
That love can pull us through
It would be so easy
To live your life
With one foot out the door
Just hold me baby
Till we ain't strangers anymore
SOLO
It's hard to find forgivness
When we just turn out the lights
It's hard to say you're sorry
When you can't turn off the light
It would be so easy
To spend your whole damn life
Just keeping strong
So lets get down to it baby
There ain't no need to lie
Tell me who you think you see
When you look into my eyes
Lets put our two hearts back together
And leave the broken pieces on the floor
Make love with me baby
Till we ain't strangers anymore
We're not strangers anymore
We're not strangers
We're not strangers anymore
. . .

These days, its hard to have a heart,
It doesn't matter where you come from, or who you think you are,
These days, it's hard just fitting in,
Why does someone have to lose, for someone else to win,
Were all looking for forgiveness, and someone we can trust,
You can wrap your arms around the world,
It all comes down to us,
This is the last night,
You'll have to be alone,
I'll be standing right beside you,
You can make it on your own,
So walk with me, please,
Help me to be strong,
I'll be the shoulder you can lean on,
When everybody's gone,
This is the last night,
You'll have to be alone,
I know, you, heard it all before,
There's nothing worst than living less,
When you yearn for something more,
Makes no sense, its hard to understand,
When there's something that should fill you up,
Keeps slipping through your hands.
This is the last night,
You'll have to be alone,
I'll be standing right beside you,
You can make it on your own,
So walk with me, please,
Help me to be strong,
I'll be the shoulder you can lean on,
When everybody's gone,
This is the last night,
You'll have to be alone.
We're all looking for answers,
We're all down here on our knees,
All anybody really wants, is something to believe,
Enough is enough, i cant take any more,
But I'm standing on your front porch,
Kicking down your door,
This is the last night,
This is the last night,
You'll have to be alone,
I'll be standing right beside you,
If you cant make it on your own,
So walk with me please,
Help me to be strong,
I'll be the shoulder you can lean on,
That place where you belong,
This is the last night,
You'll have to be alone,
This it's the last night,
This is the last night,
This it's the last night,
You'll have to be alone.

I've seen the heart of darkness,
Let's just say, I crossed over that line,
Held hands with the hopeless,
In too deep, on that ride, went around one more time,
When you're standing on the edge,
You don't look down,
Till you're ready and willing to fly,
Now I'm, one step closer,
With my arms open wide,
Yeah, I'm one step closer,
And I'm willing to try this time,
I hitched a ride with forgiveness,
In that river of emotion,
I went down at third time,
I spend the night with the living,
Took a chance, looked inside,
Didn't know who I'd find,
Standing on the corner of the long goodbye,
All alone scared, i made up my mind,
I'm, one step closer,
With my arms open wide,
Yeah, I'm one step closer,
And I'm willing to try,
I'm sick of giving up,
There's a little luck,
I'm gonna get out of here,
SOLO
When you're standing on the edge,
Don't look down,
Til you're ready and willing to fly,
I'm, one step closer,
With my arms open wide,
Yeah, I'm one step closer,
And I'm willing to try, yeah,
I'm, one step closer,
Yeah, I'm, one step closer.

I always knew that I liked this place
You don't have to look too far to find a friendly face
I feel alive when I'm walking on the street
I feel the heart of the city pounding underneath my feet
CHORUS:
Yeah, let the world keep spinning round and round
This is where it all goes down down down
That's why I love this town
That's why I keep coming around
Say hey (say hey) say yeah (say yeah)
You make me feel at home somehow right now
That's why I love this town
I got some good friends here
I might have broken a heart or two
It's getting loud over there
Boys must have had a few
And there's a cop on the corner
He knows everybody's names
And a kid with a dream singing for some spare loose change
Chorus
They're shouting from the rooftops
Dancing on the bars
Hangin' out the window
Driving in their famous cars
You want it, you got it
You're ready, I'm on it
Come on now
Here we go again
That's why I love this town
That's why I love this town
No matter where you are from
Tonight you're from right here
This is where it all goes down, down down
That's why I love this town
Say hey, say hey say yeah say yeah
I love this town.
