Little Big Town Album

I could love you
Baby, if you want me to
I could go and fall for you
And never even try, hey, hey

I could let you in
Baby, where nobody’s been
Yeah, I’m ready and willing
To give this love a try, hey, hey

[Chorus:]
You’re the reason why
(Baby you’re the only reason why)
Don’t wanna say goodnight
(Keep kissing me don’t wanna say goodnight)
Yeah it feels so right
(Everything is gonna be alright)
You’re the reason why, hey, hey
You’re the reason why, hey, hey

You’re in my head
Like a song I can’t forget
Wanna hear it over again
And again hey, hey

Come on and take my hand
I’m ready and willing
Over and over again

Well, I sold my guitar for a diamond ring
Yeah the preacher’s daughter’s got a thing for me
With all of our stuff in a pick up truck
Yeah we’re headed out west in a cloud of dust

[Chorus:]
Runaway baby like a runaway train
Like a train comin’ off the tracks
Runaway baby like a runaway train
Runaway and never look back
Runaway and never look back

Well, it’s a Vegas weddin’ at the break of day
By a magistrate dressed in blue suede
Lost all of our cash on a roll of the bones
Had to pawn that ring just to get back home

[Chorus]

In a cheap motel on the county line
Sneakin’ back into town in the black of night
I heard the preacher screamin’ through the motel door
Yeah he’s cursin’ my soul in the name of the Lord

Runaway baby like a runaway train
Like a train comin’ off the tracks
Runaway baby like a runaway train
Runaway and never look back

Runaway baby like a runaway train
Like a train comin’ off the tracks
Runaway baby like a runaway train
Runaway and never look back
Runaway and never look back
Runaway and never look back

When you lose somethin
It’s all that you want back
You’re waitin patiently
But it don’t work like that

When you lose someone
The first thing that goes through your head
Is if you run fast enough
You just might catch up
But it don’t work like that

[Chorus]
You just gotta watch it fly
Stand there on the side lines
Go on and swallow your pride
You know its gonna be alright
Wish it well and close your eyes
With a kiss goodbye

Well the hardest part
Ya it hurts so bad
Is when she spreads her wings
But it’d be a selfish thing
To try and hold her back
But it don’t work like that

[Chorus]
You just gotta watch it fly
Stand there on the side lines
Go on and swallow your pride
You know its gonna be alright
Wish it well and close your eyes
With a kiss goodbye

When you lose something
It’s all that you want back

[Chorus]
You just gotta watch it fly
Stand there on the side lines
Go on and swallow your pride
You know its gonna be alright
Wish it well and close your eyes
With a kiss goodbye

Like a kiss goodbye

Shut up train I’m trying to sleep
Can’t you show me a little sympathy
This is the only time I can get any peace
So shut up train I’m tryin to sleep

[Chorus]
Every time the front door shakes
Every time I hear the breaks
And that long whistle cryin through the night
I’m reminded of the way I feel
Just like that cold black steel
Gettin crushed by your wheels tonight
I don’t need no more pain so shut up train

I hope you’re happy now I am wide awake
Now I gotta deal with every ounce of this heartache
Why your moving on I’m stuck in this place
It’s all your fault so shut up train

[Chorus]
Every time the front door shakes
Every time I hear the breaks
And that long whistle cryin through the night
I’m reminded of the way I feel
Just like that cold black steal
Gettin crushed by your wheels tonight
I can’t take no more pain so shut up train

Shut up train stop rubbin it in
You’ve made your point
I gave up you win
You win

You’re all the noise all the pain every night same ole thing
(You’re all)
Why don’t you shut up train go on shut up train
(You’re all)
I give up I give in raise a flag let you in
(You’re all)
Why don’t you shut up train go on and shut up train
(You’re all)
Oh shut up train
(You’re all)

Shut up train

Why oh why can’t I lay this trouble down
Lies your lies keep comin back around
And round and round and round

You’re a shot of whisky
Straight and smooth and killing me
You’re like a prayer I should pray
You’re like a sad song I can’t help but sing along
You’re all the pleasure and the pain

[Chorus]
Why oh why can’t I lay this trouble down
Lies your lies keep comin back around
And round and round and round

You’re a lesson I can’t learn
I must love gettin burned
Stop drop and roll right in the flame
You’re poison in a kiss that’s just the way it is
You’re like the sunshine in the rain

[Chorus]
Why oh why can’t I lay this trouble down
Lies your lies keep comin back around
And round and round and round

You say you love me say you’re sorry
I believe you every word
I guess I let you like a fool
I guess I get what I deserve
Next time you say goodbye

[Chorus]
Why oh why can’t I lay this trouble down
Lies your lies keep comin back around
And round and round and round

You've been singing,that same old song
Far too long,far too long
Say you'll buy me a shiny ring
But your words don't mean a thing
No more calling me baby
No more loving like crazy

[Chorus]
Til' you take me down (take me down)
You better take me down (take me down)
Take me down to the little white church
Take me down (take me down)
Take me down (take me down)
Take me down to the little white church
Take me down....

You can't ride this gravy train,
anymore,anyway
There's a price for keeping me
I might be cheap, but I ain't free
Now more calling me baby
No more loving like crazy

[Repeat Chorus 1x]
Come on!

Charming devil,silver tongue
Had your fun,now you're done
Mama warned me 'bout your games
She don't like you anyways

No more calling me baby
No more loving like crazy
No more chicken and gravy
I ain't gonna have your baby!

[Repeat Chorus 1x]

Take me down to the little white church, take me down,
Take me down, take me down to the little white church,
take me down, take me down, take me down, take me down to the little white church,
take me down to the little white church, take me down to the little white church

The driveway winds up the hill
Through the wildflower fields
Where the kids like to play
There’s a little creek by the willow tree
Oh yes, it’s a beautiful place

We have the family photograph
The house, the life, the dream
You’re love‘s the only thing missing here
Well, I guess you can’t have everything

We don’t talk anymore
You leave your ring in the drawer
Like it don’t mean a thing
The silence crawls down the lonely halls
That weep for what used to be

We have the family photograph
The house, the life, the dream
You’re love‘s the only thing missing here
Well, I guess you can’t have everything

We have the family photograph
The house, the life, the dream
You’re love‘s the only thing missing here
Well, I guess you can’t have everything

Rock me like a lullaby, Roll me like a wheel
I’m going down, down, all the way down
Love me like a superstar, Play me like a steel
I’m going down, down, all the way down
Down, down, falling all the way down

Stand, where the good love lies
Be my man, I’ll be your alibi
Wonderland, wanna give it a try
Let it ride

Rock me like a lullaby, Roll me like a wheel
I’m going down, down, all the way down
Love me like a superstar, Play me like a steel
I’m going down, down, all the way down
Down, down, falling all the way down

Here, where it all feels right
Crystal clear, as a southern sky
Oh my dear, you set my love on fire
Everytime

Rock me like a lullaby, Roll me like a wheel
I’m going down, down, all the way down
Love me like a superstar, Play me like a steel
I’m going down, down, all the way down
Down, down, falling all the way down

Show me now
Show me now
You gotta show me now

I can see the moonlight shining off the tracks
Down beside the river, and Lord, it takes me back
To that starry night when I made you mine
With a little midnight kiss

I can see us dreaming, wondering where we’d live
Just two wishful thinkers, just a couple kids
We were young and scared, but we didn’t care
There in our innocence

[Chorus]
Baby, why don’t we play that old song from way back when
And Baby, why don’t we go to that place we met and then
We can fall in love
We can fall in love
All over again

We can throw the top back, head on out of town
Drive along the coast til the sun is going down
Dancing in the sand, can’t you hear the band
Let’s get lost in time

[Chorus]

We can fall in love
We can fall in love

Her eyes are blue just like the ocean
Her heart is a river free
Well now and then she gets the notion
And she finds her way to me

[Chorus]
Her love’s like rain on a tin roof
Sweet song on a summer time storm
And the way that it moves you
It’s a melody of passion raging on
Then it’s gone

She tells me she will be back to see me
Every time she has to go
And I keep wondering just when that will be
Cuz with her you never

[Chorus]
Her love’s like rain on a tin roof
Sweet song on a summer time storm
And the way that it moves you
It’s a melody of passion raging on
Then it’s gone

Like a thirsty field I can’t complain a bit
Cuz I’m thankful for every single drop I get

[Chorus]
Her love’s like rain on a tin roof
Sweet song on a summer time storm
And the way that it moves you
It’s a melody of passion raging on
Then it’s gone

She’s gone she’s gone
My baby’s gone

I don’t know, but I’ve been told
If you ain’t busy livin’, then you’re getting old
That always seemed to make good sense to me

So I’ve been running my whole life
Diving in; never thinking twice
Chasing down what life had in store for me

Ain’t nothing gonna stop this train from moving
Gonna grab hold & keep on singing

La, La, La, La, La, La, Life Rolls On
La, La, La, La, La, La, Life Rolls On

I don’t know but it seems to me
A chair & the sand & a summer breeze
And a sunset, Man, that’s where I belong
So sit down here right next to me
We’ll toast and to living free
And watch the tide roll in all night long

As sure as the sun & the moon keep shining
We’ll be here & we’ll be singing

La, La, La, La, La, La, Life Rolls On
La, La, La, La, La, La, Life Rolls On
Yeah Life Rolls On

As sure as the sun & the moon keep shining
We’ll be here & we’ll be singing

La, La, La, La, La, La, Life Rolls On
La, La, La, La, La, La, Life Rolls On

And we’ll be singing
La, La, La, La, La, La, Life Rolls On
La, La, La, La, La, La, Life Rolls On

Yeah Life Rolls On
Life Rolls On
Yeah Life Rolls On

I don’t know, but I’ve been told
If you ain’t busy livin’, then you’re getting old
That always seemed to make good sense to me

These days are filled with trouble
And the nights feel like they’re all getting longer
These days are dark and grey
Like that storm rolling in across the water

[Chorus]

There’s a strong wind blowing
I push on it pushes back
It’s a hard time
But I know I’ll get through it
Just gotta lean into it

This ain’t where I thought I’d be
If I could I’d stop it now and I’d rewind it
But this ain’t where I’m gonna fall
If there’s a way to fight
I know I’m gonna find it

[Chorus]

There’s a strong wind blowing
I push on it pushes back
It’s a hard time
But I know I’ll get through it
Just gotta lean into it
Just gotta lean into it

I keep going even though

[Repeat Chorus]
