Dierks Bentley Album

She never knew my name
Least not the one my Daddy gave me
I took off the way I came
Moonlight reflecting off the chrome
She didn't want my story, so I didn't have to lie
If I loved her it was only for a night

Living life on the run
You can't give your heart to no one
Your only friend is the setting sun
I didn't do what they said I done
I gotta stay one step ahead
Or one of these days I'm gonna wake up dead
Dropped in my tracks by a bullet from a lawman's gun
Oh, you can't rest a minute
When you're living on the run

The white lines on the road
That's the only trail I leave behind me
Been chasinghighline poles
Ever since the night i skipped out of town
somewhere in the distance i where I need to be
All I care about right now is speed

Living life on the run
You can't give your heart to no one
Your only friend is the setting sun
I didn't do what they said I done
I gotta stay one step ahead
Or one of these days I'm gonna wake up dead
Dropped in my tracks by a bullet from a lawman's gun
Oh, you can't rest a minute
When you're living life on the run

Here they come no, gotta lay low
Done bent the law till the law got broke
Here they come now, gotta lay low
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Here they come now, they're closing in
Pack of blood hounds gonna catch my sent
Here they come now, now I'm gone again

Yeah
Living life on the run
You can't give your heart to no one
You can't rest a minute when you're living life on the run
No, you can't rest a minute when your're living life
On the run

[Verse 1]
Hey girl, what's your name?
It's so loud in here I can't hear a thing,
But I sure do like your style,
And I can see you came to rock
In your blue jeans and white tank top;
Man that look drives me wild.

[Chorus]
And it's hey now here we go.
D-j don't you play nothing slow
Keep those girls out on the floor
Gotta make them want to come back for more.
Been here since the sun went down,
Be here when it comes back around
Worked all week it's time to play
Gonna get a little bit sideways...
Sideways.

[Verse 2]
Ain't no need to fight
Y'all take that redneck stuff outside
That's what parking lots are for.
Once you're out you ain't coming back
The man on the ropes ain't got no slack.
Man they're busting down the door!

[Chorus]
And it's hey now here we go
D-J don't you play nothing slow
Keep those girls out on the floor
Gotta make 'em wanna come back for more.
Been here since the sun went down
Be here when it comes back around
Worked all week it's time to play
Gonna get a little bit sideways...
Sideways.

[Bridge]
That's right

Hey now here we go
(hey now here we go)
D-j don't you play nothing slow
Gotta make 'em wanna (what?)...
Gotta make 'em wanna (what?)...
Gotta make 'em wanna come back for more.

[Chorus]
Hey now here we go
D-J don't you play nothing slow
Keep those girls out on the floor
Gotta make 'em wanna come back for more
Been here since the sun went down
Be here when it comes back around
Worked all week it's time to play
Gonna get a little bit sideways (na na na na na)...
Sideways...sideways...sideways

Hey girl what's your name?
It's so loud in here I can't hear a thing....

She wants her nails painted black
She wants the toy in the Cracker Jack
She wants to ride the bull at the rodeo

She wants to wear my shirt to bed
She wants to make every stray a pet
And drive around in my truck with no place to go

But she needs to feel that fire
The one that lets her know for sure
She's everything I want and more
A real desire, that lets her know I'd walk alone out on the wire
to make her feel that fire.

She wants a cabin in the woods
She wants to stand where nobody stood
Someday she wants a couple kids of her own

She wants to make love on a train
Some day's she only wants a break
Hey she wants what she wants, and man I know I know I know

She needs to feel that fire
The one that lets her know for sure
She's everything I want and more
A real desire, that lets her know I'd walk alone out on the wire
to make her feel that fire.
Yeah feel that fire

So as long as there's a breath to take
A smile to share, A prayer to bring
A chance to hold her hand and fan the flame

She's gonna feel that fire
The one that lets her know for sure
She's everything I want and more
A real desire, that lets her know I'd walk alone out on the wire
Yeah to make her feel that fire. Whoa
Feel that fire

She wants her nails painted black
She wants the toy in the Cracker Jack
She wants to ride the bull at the rodeo

Girl I've been waitin on this long hard day to get over
So i can rest my head right here on your shoulder
I just wanna lay here and feel you breathe
Listen to the rhythm of your heartbeat
And see where it leads...

We're wide awake but girl I wanna make you close your eyes
And say my name like only you can say it and hold me tight
All I need is only you and me alone tonight
I wanna make you close your eyes...oh yeah...

You can make me work for it girl if you want to
Just leave a trail for me to follow you into the bedroom
And if you need a little bit of help from me
Babe there's not a button that I cant reach
Lets see where it leads

We're wide awake but girl I wanna make you close your eyes
And say my name like only you can say it and hold me tight
All I need is only you and me alone tonight
I wanna make you close your eyes

I wanna take you somewhere...out there...
'Til the world fades out of sight

We're wide awake but girl I wanna make you close your eyes
And say my name like only you can say it and hold me tight... just hold me tight
All I need is only you and me alone tonight
Yeah.. I wanna make you close your eyes...oh

I wanna make you close your eyes...oh
Girl... I wanna make you close your eyes

Here she comes down the road
Rattlin' the gravel with the radio
Kickin' out some loud honky tonk song
Here we go, buckle up
Put us both together in a pickup truck
Gonna be memories all night long
Might get wild, I know
But here she comes, here we go

Ready or not
When she pulls the trigger, I'm a loaded buckshot
One little kiss
It's a match to the fuse
The last bell in school
A kick to the bull at the rodeo
Here she comes, here we go

Here she comes with a plan
Said she heard about a joint with a country band
Where they play George Strait and that's all
Here we go walkin' in
She's makin' every hat in the whole place spin around
Checkin' out that walk
Girls wish she'd just stay home
But here she comes, here we go

Ready or not
When she pulls the trigger, I'm a loaded buckshot
One little kiss
It's a match to the fuse
The last bell in school
A kick to the bull at the rodeo
Here she comes, here we go

Here she comes with that look
That says she'd rather be alone and that's all it took
Here we go out to that spot
Where we turn on the radio and the headlights off
Now she's movin' in real close
Here she comes, here we go

Ready or not
When she pulls the trigger, I'm a loaded buckshot
One little kiss
It's a match to the fuse, the last bell in school

Ready or not
When she pulls the trigger I'm a loaded buckshot
One little kiss
It's a match to the fuse, the last bell in school
A kick to the bull at the rodeo
Here she comes, here we go

She found a cowboy
And I hear they've settled down somewhere out west
Well I guess it's for the best
Here in Del Rio
Nothin' seems to change except the weather
And I can't forget her

She goes runnin' through my mind
Like that Rio Grande river winds through the desert
And I can't forget her
No, I can't forget her

There's a senorita who waits just over the border line
For me tonight
And I could hold her
And this tequila could help me love her
But there's still another

She goes runnin' through my mind
Like that Rio Grande river winds through the desert
And I can't forget her
No, I can't forget her

These endless starlit nights
Remind me of her eyes
And this warm prairie breeze is like her arms wrapped around me

She goes runnin' through my mind
Like that Rio Grande river winds through the desert
And I can't forget her
No, I can't forget her

She found a cowboy
And I hear they've settled down somewhere out west
Well I guess it's for the best
But I can't forget her
No I can't forget her

(feat. Patty Griffin)

All the noise and the voices are screamin'
What they have to say
And the headlines and sound bytes are givin' me
Demons to hate
And the man on TV
He tells me it's ugly
But if you ask me

It's a beautiful world
It's a beautiful world

There's tears and there's fears and there's losses and crosses to bear
And sometimes the best we can do is just to whisper a prayer
And press on because
There's so much to live for and so much to love

In this beautiful world
Say what you will but I still believe
It's a beautiful world
It's a beautiful world

And I know (I know)
I'm not dreamin'
I just choose (choose) to believe it

So I hate that I sometimes miss what's right in front of my eyes, oh
And I know at the end of my road I'll be wantin' more time
Just another sunset
One more kiss from my baby
A smile from a friend

In this beatiful world
It's a beautiful world
Yeah, it's a beautiful world

Say what you will, but I still believe
It's a beautiful world
Yeah, it's a beautiful world
Oh, it's a beautiful world

You can cry, cry, cry like the rain
Ocean full of tears won't drown the pain
Take all your whiskey, pour it down the drain
Ain't nothin' gonna make you feel better
Oooh, she's a little heartwrecker
Oooh, she's a little heartwrecker

You can beg, beg, beg like a dog
Chase her 'round the world, but she'll still be gone
She did you right once, but left you all wrong
Now you're chewin' on a Dear John letter
Oooh, she's a little heartwrecker

She takes a big black ball
And a long strong chain
And she lets it fall
Again and again and again and again and again
She's a little heartwrecker

Sing, sing, sing a sad song
Honky tonk jukebox playin' along
Until your last buddy and your money's gone
But still you can't not remember

So you pray, pray, pray like a saint
Promise your maker all kinds of things
He don't answer, but you know He'd say
Son you better just forget her
Oooh, she's a little heartwrecker

She takes a big black ball
And a long strong chain
And she lets it fall
Again and again and again and again and again
She's a little heartwrecker

She was a sweet, sweet, sweeter than wine
Never knew nothin' could be so fine
So you took it all out and laid it on the line
Best you ever had only better
Oooh, she's a little heartwrecker
Oooh, she's a little heartwrecker
Oooh, she's a little heartwrecker

Ooh yeah, oh

By now I should've been broken
On the rocks arisin' life's ocean
Just another ship lost at sea
By now I should've been scattered
In the wind of my lonesome travels
Like a thousand dandelion seeds
And I should've come unraveled
At the seams like a well-worn sweater
But you hold me together

My hope should've been shattered
Like a bottle out behind some tavern
From a fight that you had no chance to win
My dream should've been ashes
Gone up in smoke like a book of matches
Tossed away and never gonna burn again
And I should've worn right through
Like an old cowboy's boot leather
But you hold me together

I feel your love surrounding me
Strong enough that I can believe
There won't ever be a storm that I can't weather
'Cause you hold me together
Together, yeah

I feel your love surrounding me
Strong enough that I can believe
There won't ever be a storm that I can't weather
No there'll never be a storm that I can't weather

I should've been long forgotten
Just a footnote down at the bottom
Of a page in the book of what could've beens
My heart should lie in pieces
On the ground like a goodbye letter
But you hold me together, oh
You hold me together, yeah
You hold me together
Together, yeah
Ooh, you hold me, you hold me
Together, ooh

Verse 1

Life is seen more clearly through our tears
Cause we all find some faith
When we face our fears
When my life's goin like I want
God becomes an after thought
And I start trying to build my Heaven here

Chorus

A better believer would look to the skies
And shout "hallelujah" with tears in his eyes
Open his heart and start givin it all away
When I take a hard look at myself
And count my blessings I can't but help
But wonder if there's been some kind of mistake
This life of mine should belong to a better believer

Verse 2

All we really need in life is love
And in my time I've had more than enough
But some days I'm not satisfied
It happens to me all the time
I look around instead of looking up

Chorus

Bridge

With all I've got to be thankful for
I should be doing so much more
I know

Chorus

Just because it didn't last
Doesn't mean that we were wrong
We both fell in love so fast
And now it's gone
And the hurt is strong

Though we don't see eye to eye
And a wind's begun to blow
I'm gonna love you til I die
And I want you to know
Til they lay me low

I'll pray that love will blessed and find you
Pray for joy and happiness
Pray for two strong arms around you
Pray

Was it something we can't see?
Maybe something we don't know
If it wasn't meant to be
We should just say so
And let it go

I'll pray that love will blessed and find you
Pray for joy and happiness
Pray for two strong arms around you
Pray

That with time
You'll someday find peace

I'll pray that love will blessed and find you
Pray for joy and happiness
Pray for two strong arms around you
Pray

That with time
You'll someday find peace

That with time
You'll someday find… love

(feat. Ronnie McCoury & Friends)

Early in the afternoon is the only time my mind is clear
To think of you and the love we knew
It's a memory I hold so dear
Now we're apart I've got a broken heart
The tears fall so sincere
I know it's wrong but before too long it's gonna be whiskey and beer

Last call for alcohol still ringin' in my head
You must've ordered two more double shots from the shape that you're in
There ain't no stoppin' my bar hoppin'
I should've stayed home instead
Last call for alcohol still ringin' in my head

You've got to stop the way you're living
You better change your short life ways
Smokin', drinkin', and lovin'
You're just numberin' your days

Though I just know what I need to do
If I could just turn around today
But her memory catches up with me
And this bar stool's where I'll stay

Last call for alcohol still ringin' in my head
You must've ordered two more double shots from the shape that you're in
There ain't no stoppin' my bar hoppin'
I should've stayed home instead
Last call for alcohol still ringin' in my head

Last call for alcohol still ringin' in my head
You must've ordered two more double shots from the shape that you're in
There ain't no stoppin' my bar hoppin'
I should've stayed home instead
Last call for alcohol still ringin' in my head
Last call for alcohol still ringin' in my head
