Lucero (band) Album

well i'm not supposed to see you looking
i'm not supposed to stare straight into your eyes
into your eyes
well i'm not supposed to kiss your lips
but you smile so sweet
i can't resist those eyes

now you say you might have eyes for me
and i can only wish that you were mine
that you were mine
well i'm not supposed to be here with you
but how can i leave if you look at me with those eyes
into your eyes

well i'm not supposed to kiss your lips
but you smile so sweet
i can't resist those eyes

I don't want to see you crying like that
Not when you're the one who broke my heart
I wish i didn't want you
Didn't want you back
But you were my biggest love so far
And you broke my heart
You broke my heart

I tried not to call you
I wondered where you are
I still glance your eyes up in the stars
But now when i see you
I feel like a fool
I wish you hadn't seen me fall so hard
I fell like a star
And you broke my heart

I fell like a star
And you broke my heart
You broke my heart

I knew it was bound to catch me again
Well hello sadness, my old friend
Well it's been a while, but now I see
You're back in style
Sit down and rest, I ain't goin' nowhere
I feel the pain, like a shot from a gun
Feel it deep in my gut, I'm done trying to run
Givin' in, givin' up
I'm tired of the fight
Well, you got me cornered
I know it ain't right
I'll surrender tomorrow if I live through the night

She's beautiful and deep blue
But she's cold and tragic too
There ain't nothing to say, or to do
Been landlocked and alone
With the Siren song
Now my heart is gone with her to the sea
I can hear her from the shores
So I dare not to sail anymore
A voice a would gladly drowned for
Been land locked and alone
With the Siren song
Now my heart is gone with her to the sea
Been landlocked and alone
With the Siren song
Now my heart is gone with her to the sea
Still landlocked and alone
With the Siren song
Cause my heart is gone with her to the sea

the clouds in the summer sky
don't do shit for the heat
the girls in their summer clothes
only slight relief there's nothing to do but wait it out
the boys in their summer bands
sweat as they give it their all
the bands might be good
but probably won't last through the fall
and there's nothing to do now
except to sing, sweat and shout
and there's nothing to do but wait it out
the clouds in the summer sky
don't do shit for the heat
but the girls and the shores
and the summer nights are still nice to see
and there's nothing to do now
except to sing, sweat and shout
and there's nothing to do but
wait it out

In lonesome times, I picture your face
It's so easy to find but you're so hard to place
In lonesome times, I still hear your voice
It brings me to my knees with the feelings I can not avoid

I don't find much comfort in goin' out at night
Walkin' these streets underneath the bright city lights
Dark country roads don't take me anywhere
I'm stuck and I'm tired, and it ain't no fair
To be this worn out, to feel this lone down
In lonesome times

In lonesome times, I still feel you breathe
Quiet in the dark as you lay there next to me

It's hard to lose a heart so true
Without a fight
I lost my little angel somehow
She might as well be in Texas by now
She sure isn't here
She sure isn't in my arms
I know she's in this god damned town somewhere
I drive past her house but she's never there
She's got a new boy, she's probably in his arms

It's hard to lose a heart so true
Without a fight
I know she drives these streets around here
But our paths never cross and she's disappeared
If I'd decide readmit, out of mind I'd be fine

I just wanna see her
See if she's lookin' for me

well you show your smile
the best in a while
a smile so true
it hurt
and I took the fall
but I take it all back tonight
and I saw your smile
over stepped by a mile
I'm a fool
it's plain to see
and I took the fall
but I'll take it all back tonight
well I took the fall
couldn't take it back at all
if I tried

The family's been here for
The last hundred years
And it's all that he's ever known
Life in the cotton fields
Swamps and the rolling hills
Always called Arkansas home

But when the war came
Like his father before
He joined the army
And went to the war
Leaving the rolling hills
Swamps and the cotton fields
Bound for a Normandy shore

The patch that he wore on
His uniform
Was both blue and grey
The colors of men who died
Fighting another fight
And more would die today

At Omaha beach against Germany
A young country boy
Struggled out of the sea
Up on the sand where
Many a man
Would never know victory

Fought the entire time
Up on the front line
It was lonely, bloody and cold
The only relief he'd find
Might be some old French wine
The water was all dirty and froze

But he was luckier than some
A better soldier than most
He came back from Europe
But never got home
Now he's back on the farm
But not out of harm
He drank so the pain wouldn't show

Well he left behind
My brothers and I
We never really knew him at all
I barely remember him
Smoking with a grin
But looking mean; standing tall

Well I can only hope
That he wouldn't be ashamed
Of the man I become
And the life that I made
And he did the hardest part
And lived life with all his heart
And I hope I don't let him down
