Lee Ann Womack Album

I recognized your number,
It's burned into my brain,
Felt my heart beating faster,
Every time it rang.
Some things never change,
That's why I didn't answer.

I bet you're in a bar,
Listening to a country song.
Glass of Johnny Walker Red,
With no one to take you home.
They're probably closing down,
Saying, "No more alcohol."
I bet you're in a bar
'Cause I'm always your last call.

I don't need to check that message.
I know what it says.
"Baby, I still love you,"
Don't mean nothing when there's whiskey on your breath.
That's the only love I get.
So if you're calling...

I bet you're in a bar
Listening to a cheatin' song
Glass of Johnny Walker Red
With no one to take you home
They're probably closing down
Saying, "No more alcohol"
I bet you're in bar,
'Cause I'm always your last-

Call me crazy but
I think maybe
We've had our last call.

I bet you're in a bar.
It's always the same old song.
That Johnny Walker Red,
By now it's almost gone.
But baby, I won't be there
To catch you when you fall.
I bet you're in bar
'Cause I'm always your last call

We pass in the hall
On our way to separate rooms
The only time we ever talk
Is when the monthly bills are due

We go work, we go to church
We fake the perfect life
I'm past the point of give a damn
And all my tears are cried

We can just go on like this
Say the word, we'll call it quits
Baby, you can go or you can stay
I won't love you either way

It's been so long since I felt
Anything inside these walls
You can't hate and you can't hurt
When you don't feel at all

I used to cry and stay up nights
And wonder what went wrong
It's been hard but hearts can only
Do that for so long

We can just go on like this
Say the word, we'll call it quits
Baby, you can go or you can stay
I won't love you either way

We can just go on like this
Say the word, we'll call it quits
Baby, you can go or you can stay
I won't love you either way

Well I only came into this bar
To hear a sad song
But I'll probably be here all night long
The way I'm feeling now

I couldn't get you on the phone
So, I let it ring
On and on in a lonesome serenade

Oooh, what am I gonna do about my problems now
Maybe I should try to find a way to kinda, sorta, maybe, work it out

Chorus:
Oooh, with some solitary thinkin'
And lonesome drinkin'
Oooh, it sure does make a body feel at home
And a double barrel whiskey
And oh baby, tell me do you miss me
Some solitary thinkin' and lonesome drinkin' for me tonight

There's two things that'll kill a girl
They'll strike her down right where she stands
One is his voice and one is the rock glass sitting in my hand

Oooh, lights are gettin' dimmer now
That means they gonna shut me down
And it's just like crystal
It ain't always really clear

Tell me baby now
How am I gonna get myself to sleep now that you're gone
Maybe I should try to find a way to kinda think about carrying on
On my own

Repeat Chorus

Daddy took my sister's bike
Before I knew it, it was like
He bought it just for me down at the store
And mama bought a goodwill gown
Added lace and beads she found
So I could wear what Cinderella wore

So much for used and abused, abandoned, thrown away
Some things are destined to live another day
It takes a certain kind to look deep enough to find the beauty within
And I thank God for those who make the old new again

And to my baggage filled with broken things
I threw in all my hopes and dreams
And on my sleeve I wore my broken heart
I thought forever'd be how long I'd wait
Before I met the man who'd make it better
And give me a brand new start

So much for used and abused, abandoned, thrown away
Some things are destined to live another day
It takes a certain kind to look deep enough to find the beauty within
And I thank God for those who make the old new again

We're all lost and found damaged goods, cast aside, misunderstood
Scratched and dented, needing paint, a sin away from a saint

So much for used and abused, abandoned, thrown away
Some things are destined to live another day
It takes a certain kind to look deep enough to find the beauty within
And I thank God for those who make the old new again

Everybody needs a reason to believe
Something to keep 'em going
To set their soul on fire and make 'em feel alive
It's their inspiration

Some find it in living off the land
Some find it in working for the man
Some find it with a bottle in their hand
That's what gets 'em through

Some find it in a shiny limousine
Some find it in the magazines they read
Some find happiness is out of reach no matter what they do
Baby that's not me, I found it in you

I always wondered when my search was gonna end
And I'd find what I'd been missin'
Now everything you are it goes right to my heart
And it feeds this passion

Some find it in living off the land
Some find it in working for the man
Some find it with a bottle in their hand
That's what gets 'em through

Some find it in a shiny limousine
Some find it in the magazines they read
Some find happiness is out of reach no matter what they do
Baby that's not me, I found it in you

You're my journey's end, my solid ground
You're what I could never live without

Some find it in living off the land
Some find it in working for the man
Some find it with a bottle in their hand
That's what gets 'em through

Some find it in a shiny limousine
Some find it in the magazines they read
Some find happiness is out of reach no matter what they do
Baby that's not me, I found it in you, I found it in you

Innocent, confident with a hint of curiosity
And an air of what you see is what you get
Fun to be around, laugh at herself
Never worried, life is short but what's the hurry?
Bright eyed and ready to take on the world

Have you seen that girl
That everybody says I used to be?
Have you seen that girl?
Where along the way did I lose me?
Have you seen that girl?

She was full of life
Looked on the brighter side
If it was worth a chance she'd take it
Said that life is what you make it

But a few wrong moves led to a few wrong turns
And once your burned you're not the same
You tend to shy from the flame
I hate to think she's givin' up her dream

Have you seen that girl
That everybody says I used to be?
Have you seen that girl?
Where along the way did I lose me?

Have you seen that girl?
Where along the way did I lose me?
Have you seen that girl?

I've been looking for a sweeter side
Looking for a big bloom on a short vine
Looking for a better way of life
Somewhere that I can call home

Spent my time at a peach stand
Sun beatin' like a stinging red tan
Like the back of my daddy's hand
The only thing I've ever known

Chorus:
I can hear the bees buzzin' through the walls
Making their honey and singing their song
They say I work for the queen all day
Yeah, I work for the queen all day
Ohhhh...
Ohhhh...

Sometimes it's a bitter taste
For a motherless child so out of place
I never understood why she ran away
Maybe I'll never know

But there's a light shinin' through the trees
And a restless hum that's calling me
I could almost be carried by the breeze
And let it take me where it goes

Repeat Chorus

Now I'm standing on the front porch
Kettle whistling through the screen door
Little footsteps on the kitchen floor
Pretty soon we're gonna eat

Some things come right away
Some seem to take forever and a day
All I know is that it worked out either way
I think I found a family

Repeat Chorus Twice

[1st Verse:]
I think I know what killed Keith Whitley,
and I wasn't just the whiskey,
Even with success there was a sad lonliness,
I think I know what killed Keith Whitley.

[2nd Verse:]
I think I know what got Hank Williams,
there was an emptiness that filled him,
sitting in the back of that long cadillac,
i think I know what got Hank Williams.

[Chorus:]
Sometimes the teardrops can't be measured
sometimes the blues have no name
sometimes the feeling somethings missing
grabs your heart and won't go away.

[3rd Verse:]
I think I know what took Ol' Johnnny
and it wasn't his tired body
he went so soon after losing June
I think I know what took Ol' Johnny

Sometime the teardops can't be meazsuured
sometimes the blues have no name
sometimes the feeling somethings missing
finds your heart and won't go away

I think I know what killed Keith Whitley
and it wasn't just the Whiskey.

If houses tell stories
I wonder
About these walls of yours and mine
They could repeat any number
Of things
They've heard and seen in their time

All of the angry words spoken
Then the silence that follows for days
All that leaves a home feeling broken
Lord, if these walls could talk they'd pray

Chorus:
If love lived here you couldn't tell
Five thousand square feet of living hell
And two hearts that need to be saved
It all died here from pure neglect
Is it too dead to resurrect
Lord, if these walls could talk they'd pray

Two little hands folded tight by her bedside
Asking Jesus will my family be ok
A child of five is just too small
Her prayers alone can't save us all
Lord, if these walls could talk they'd pray

Repeat Chorus

Lord, if these walls could talk they'd pray

I thought of walkin' out on you
It's crossed my mind a time or two
Nights we almost called it a day
And days we almost threw our love away

We've thrown around goodbyes
Called us off a thousand times
We've called it everything but quits

We've said some things that hurt
But love's always had the last word
We've called it everything but quits

Well, I might get mad but it don't last
Said things but always took 'em back
Like all those I don't love yous anymore
But anything worth havin' is worth fightin' for

We've thrown around goodbyes
Called us off a thousand times
We've called it everything but quits

We've said some things that hurt
But love's always had the last word
We've called it everything but quits
We've called it everything but quits

The King of Broken Hearts doesn't
ask much from his friends
And he has quite a few of them
They know he will understand
That's just the way it goes

The King of Broken Hearts doesn't know he's a king
He's tryin' to forget other things
Like some old ship at sea
He's walkin' through alone

He talks to angels
And the stars start to spin
He thinks of troubles that he's gotten in
He recalls how his heart got broken
And how it's still that way

The King of Broken Hearts is so sad and wise
He can smile while he's cryin' inside
We know he'll be brave tonight
He's the King of Broken Hearts

He talks to angels
And the stars start to spin
He thinks of troubles that he's gotten in
He recalls how his heart got broken
And how it's still that way

The King of Broken Hearts thinks that he's no fool
He's a little bit like me and you
So what's a King like that supposed to do
With all that blue time
We know he'll be brave tonight
Cause he's the King of Broken Hearts
King of Broken Hearts

I don't ever want to be afraid
To walk the world in my own way
I don't wanna ever lose my faith
In all the little simple things

And even if it all falls down
I know it'll come back around
I never wanna not believe
That someone has a plan for me

Live every moment as if, it's the last one
Find all the love deep within and give it away
Be thankful for all that I've been given
From now on this is how I want to write
The story of my life

I wanna turn the pages of the past
Take what I've learned and then never look back
Still I never want to get too far ahead
Or worry about how the story ends

Live every moment as if it's the last one
Find all the love deep within and give it away
Be thankful for all that I've been given
From now on this is how I want to write
The story of my life

Choose every word carefully
Color it with love and fill it up with me

Live every moment as if it's the last one
Find all the love deep within and give it away
Be thankful for all that I've been given
From now on this is how I want to write
The story of my life
