Well you work and you slave
And you spend all day
in your thankless job
hen you jump in your Ford
And you're door to door
with the homebound mob
Then you pull in the drive
and you hit the chair
And the one that you love
is waiting there
And, hey --
That's what it's all about
Hey, this is the life
I couldn't live without
It's a moment frozen there in time
Where the reasons all begin to rhyme
Where love's a little bigger
And you finally start figuring out
That's what it's all about
Well, they won't go to bed
Or do what you said or eat their food
They cry and they fuzz and you can't
even cuss 'cause they'll say it, too
You're tired and you're numb
And you're stressed and you're mad
And she smiles
and says 'I love you, Dad'
And, hey --
That's what it's all about
Hey, this is the life
I couldn't live without
It's a moment frozen there in time
Where the reasons all begin to rhyme
Where love's a little bigger
And you finally start figuring out
That's what it's all about

I keep thinkin' any minute you'll be comin' home honey
I aint seen nothin' of you in a month of Sundays
Tell me how long gone are you gonna be
All you said was you had to get goin'
Oh but baby I wouldnt mind knowin' just
How long gone are you gonna be
How am I supposed to make any plans
When I still dont even understand
If you're ever gonna come back home to me
How long gone are you gonna be
Maybe I didnt pay enough attention
But I do believe you forgot to mention
Just how long gone are you gonna be
The phone aint ringin', cause you still aint callin'
I aint been hearin' your footsteps fallin'
Tell me how long gone are you gonna be
How am I supposed to make any plans
When I still dont even understand
If you're ever gonna come back home to me
Tell me please
. . .

Once I thought that love was something I could never do
Never knew that I could feel this much
But this yearning in the deep part of my heart for you
Is more than a reaction to your touch
It's a perfect passion and I can't get enough
The way you look, the way you laugh,
The way you love with all you have,
There ain't nothing bout you that don't do something for me
The way you kiss, The way you cry,
The way you move when you walk by
There's ain't nothing bout you (there ain't nothing bout you)
That don't do something for me
In my life I've been hammered by some heavy blows
That never knocked me off my feet
All you gotta do is smile at me and down I go
And baby it's no mystery why I surrender
Girl you got everything
The way you look, the way you laugh,
The way you love with all you have,
There ain't nothing bout you that don't do something for me
The way you kiss, The way you cry,
The way you move when you walk by
There's ain't nothing bout you (there ain't nothing bout you)
That don't do something for me
I love your attitude, your rose tattoo, your every thought
Your smile, you lips and girl the list goes on and on and on
The way you look, the way you laugh,
The way you love with all you have,
There ain't nothing bout you that don't do something for me
The way you kiss, The way you cry,
The way you move when you walk by
There's ain't nothing bout you (there ain't nothing bout you)
That don't do something for me
The way you look, the way you laugh,
The way you love with all you have,
Your dance, your drive, You make me feel alive
The way you talk, the way you tease
Right now I think you see
There ain't nothing bout you that don't do something for me

I know they say if you love somebody
You should set them free
But it sure is hard to do
It sure is hard to do
I know they say if you don't come back again
Then it's meant to be (so they say)
Those words don't pull me through
Cause I'm still in love with you
I spend each day here waiting for a miracle
But it's just you and me goin' through the mill
climbin' up a hill
CHORUS
This is the long goodbye
Somebody tell me why
Two lovers in love can't make it
Just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart
No matter how hard I try
I always make you cry
Come on, baby, it's over¡let's face it
All that's happening here is a long goodbye
Sometimes I ask my heart did we really
Give our love a chance (just one more chance)
But I know without a doubt
We turned it inside out
And if we walked away
It would make more sense
But it tears me up inside
Just to think we could still try
How long must we keep running on a carousel
Goin' round and round and never getting anywhere
On a wing and prayer
CHORUS
Long goodbye
Long goodbye
. . .

Maybe it was the moonlight
The scent of you on the breeze
Maybe it was your shadow that fell over me
Such a beautiful stranger
Eyes darker than coal
Your first look crossed the desert
Into my soul
Mi Corzon perdido en ti
My heart is lost to you
You have captured my love completely
My heart is lost to you
Oh my heart is lost to you
Maybe it was the music
The way it moved with your hair
Or the heat of the moment
That hung in the air
But when I saw you there dancing
Mesmerized by the gaze
There was some kind of magic
That led me away
chorus

I forget where I'm goin' in my own house
I got myself in this, I'll get myself out
I talk out loud, at the top of my voice I sing
Whoa keep the faith, see what tomorrow brings
I can't get over you
Try as I may oh it no use
My heart just cant leave you alone
My mind wont believe you're gone
I can't get over you
I got a front row seat here to a fool's masquerade
And that fool in the mirror keeps sayin' I'm doin' ok
I stare at that door that you walked out
It hits me hard and leaves no doubt
I can't get over you
Try as I may oh it no use
My heart just cant leave you alone
My mind wont believe you're gone
I can't get over you
I can't get over you
Try as I may oh it no use
My heart just cant leave you alone
My mind wont believe you're gone

I was raised off of old Route 3
Out past where the blacktop ends
We walked to church on Sunday morning
Race barefoot back to the Johnson's fence
That's where I first saw Mary
On that roadside pickin' blackberries
That summer I turned a corner in my soul
Down that red dirt road
It's where I drank my first beer
It's where I found Jesus
Where I wrecked my first car
I tore it all to pieces
I learned the path to heaven is full of sinners and believers
Learned that happiness on earth ain't just for high achievers
I've learned I've come to know
There's life at both ends
Of that red dirt road
Her daddy didn't like me much
With my shackled up GTO
I'd sneak out in the middle of the night
Throw rocks at her bedroom window
We'd turn out the headlights
Drive by the moonlight
Talk about what the future might hold
Down a red dirt road
I went out into the world, and I came back in
I lost Mary, oh I got her back again
And driving home tonight feels like I've found a long lost friend
. . .

Two broken hearts lonely looking houses
Where nobody lives
Two people each having so much pride inside
Neither side forgives
The angry words spoken in haste
Such a waste of two lives
It's my belief pride is the chief cause in the decline
Of the number of husbands and wives
A woman and a man
A man and a woman
Some can and some cant and some cant
Two broken hearts lonely looking houses
Where nobody lives
Two people each having so much pride inside
Neither side forgives
The angry words spoken in haste
Such a waste of two lives
It's my belief pride is the chief cause in the decline
Of the number of husbands and wives
It's my belief pride is the chief cause in the decline

She said what she wants is a man to be faithful
A true heart somebody willin' and able
To stay by her side through thick and thin
A tender touch every now and then
She's not hung up on fairy tales
Or some dream at the bottom of a wishin' well
Fancy cars or diamond rings
What she wants most are the little things
Chorus
That's what she gets
That's what she gets
That's what she gets for loving me
At times I lay awake at night
Stare at her laying by my side
Knowin' there in her heart as she sleeps
She can forever count on me
Repeat Chorus
Whatever turns her on
I'm here to do it
Till the day they write my name in stone
I'll live to prove it
Repeat Chorus (2x)

Connie came back from her second cousin's wedding
First time she'd been home in ‘bout a year or two
Just in time for the rehearsal dinner
But that crazy Connie wasn't wearing any shoes
Chorus
She lives in L.A. she flies to New York City
That woman's been around the world
You can take that girl out of the honky tonk
But you can't take the honky tonk, can't take the honky tonk
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Well the dinner broke up at about 11:30
And the boys went off to do what boys will do
Connie said come here girls we need to huddle up
Around something that's a hundred proof
Repeat Chorus
It's nine a.m. in front of the church
People are going nuts just looking for the groom
And by the way where's Connie
She's run off with that boy in Cancun
Repeat Chorus

I don't stop breathing everytime the phone rings,
My heart don't heart don't race when someone's at my door,
I've almost given up thinking you're ever gonna call,
I don't believe in magic anymore,
I just don't lie awake at night,
Asking God to get you off my mind.
It's getting better all the time,
it's getting better all the time.
Yeah I got to work on time again this morning,
This old job is all that I got left,
And no one even noticed I'd been crying,
At least I don't have whiskey on my breath,
Yeah I think I'm gonna make it,
'Cause god won't make a mountain I can't climb.
It's gettine better all the time,
It's getting better all the time.
God I hope you're happy,
Girl I wish you well,
I just might get over you
But you can't ever tell
I always thought I'd do something crazy,
If I ever saw you out with someone else,
But when the moment came last night,
I couldn't say a word,
I stood there in the dark all by myself,
Yeah I could have said a million things,
But all I did was keep it locked inside.
It's getting better all the time,
It's getting better all the time,
. . .

Sun coming up over New York City
School bus driver in a traffic jam
Starin' at the faces in her rearview mirror
Looking at the promise of the Promised Land
One kid dreams of fame and fortune
One kid helps pay the rent
One could end up going to prison
One just might be president
Only in America
Dreaming in red, white and blue
Only in America
Where we dream as big as we want to
We all get a chance
Everybody gets to dance
Only in America
Sun going down on an La. freeway
Newlyweds in the back of a limousine
A welder's son and a banker's daughter
All they want is everything
She came out here to be an actress
He was the singer in a band
They just might go back to Oklahoma
And talk about the stars they could have been
Chorus
Only in America
Where we dream in red, white and blue
Only in America
Where we dream as big as we want to
We all get a chance
Everybody gets to dance
Only in America
Yeah only in America
Where we dream in red, white and blue
Yeah we dream as big as we want to

A man this lonely
A man this blue
A man whose world's been torn in two
Needs somebody
With a heart that's true
A man this lonely needs a woman like you
Two arms this empty
Need someone to hold
A man this lost needs somewhere to go
When the nights go on forever
And the days do too
A man this lonely needs a woman like you
I'd lost hope
I was so far down
Here you come turning all that around
I'd come to think
Of love as a lie
All that's on my mind now
Is you by my side
A man this lonely
A man this blue
A man whose world's been torn in two
Needs somebody
With a heart that's true
A man this lonely needs a woman like you
A man this lonely needs a woman like you

Well my daddy was a world class trucker, took my momma on a four day trip
And she swears to me that I was conceived at a big rig dealership
The story goes on the day I was born,
he hit the road and he never looked back
Well my daddy went and named me a big mistake,
but my momma always called me Mack
And I'm a haulin', chug-a-luggin through the rain and snow
Yeah I'm a haulin', I put the hammer down and let it roll
My babies callin, sayin' baby when ya gonna come home
Well I'm an independent trucker... a mother lovin',
overloaded owner operator just a tearin' up a two lane road
I got the chrome girls on my mudflaps
I keep a cup o' coffee on the dashboard
Got a custom airbrush desert scene and my name painted on the door
Got a cross of jesus all along the grille, lights up like a christmas tree
Any highway, any time of day, thats where I wanna be
Well I'm a haulin', only 700 miles to go
Yeah I'm a haulin', I put the hammer down and let it roll
My babies callin', sayin' baby when ya gonna come home
Well I'm an independent trucker... a mother lovin,
overloaded owner operator just a tearin' up a two lane road
Well I'm a haulin', only 700 miles to go
Yeah I'm a haulin', put the hammer down and let it roll
My babies callin', sayin baby when ya gonna come home
Well I'm an independent trucker... a mother lovin,
overloaded owner operator just a tearin' up a two lane road
Yeah I'm an independent trucker... a mother lovin,

Hello heartache who let you in
I swore the last time never again
Back together just you and me
Where's you old friend Mr. Misery
I went and did it I dropped my guard
I fell in and I fell hard
Now she's sayin' she's found someone new
How could I have been such a fool
Oh close the door turn out the lights draw the curtain
I'll get over her in time it's gonna take some hurtin'
I tell myself I told you so as I fall apart
I can't blame love
But I'll never forgive my heart
Oh close the door turn out the lights draw the curtain
I'll get over her in time it's gonna take some hurtin'
I tell myself I told you so as I fall apart
I can't blame love
But I'll never forgive my heart
I can't blame love
But I'll never forgive my heart

If you see him
Tell him I wish him well
How am I doing?
Well, sometimes is hard to tell
I still miss him more than ever
But please dont say a word
If you see him
If you see him
If you see her
Tell her I'm doing fine
And if you want to
Say that I think of her from time to time
Ask her if she ever wonders
Where we both went wrong
If you see her
If you see her
I still want her
I still need him so
I dont know why we let each other go
If you see her
Tell her the lights still on for her
Nothing's changed
Deep down the fire still burns for him
And even if it takes forever say I'll still be here
If you see him
If you see her
If you see him
If you see her

Where the rain dont fall and the grass dont grow
The older part of New Mexico
I drifted into town one day
And stumbled in on a lost cafe
Shades were pulled and the door was locked
Something made me knock
Time stood still when she opened the door
I didnt know where I was anymore
And we were lost in each other's eyes
Where loneliness meets paradise
Something in my heart broke free
Blowing wind as the tumbleweed
Somewhere north of heaven
Where eagles fear to fly
Where the sun burns hot as the devil's gate
The desert meets the sky
Tattooed on my memory is the image of an angels face
North of heaven, south of Santa Fe
Bad news tends to travel fast
I was running from my past
I left her when ther morning broke
Truth is I never let her go
I'm still running free
But in my heart I'll always be
Somewhere north of heaven
Where eagles fear to fly
Where the sun burns hot as the devil's gate
The desert meets the sky
Tattooed on my memory is the image of an angels face
North of heaven, south of Santa Fe
North of heaven, south of Santa Fe
