I won't tell you you're the only one to take my breath away I won't give you that much credit boy or the time of day Cuz you don't love me like I need you too and if you do you don't say So I'm gon' leave I won't lie next to you in your bed Let you be the only one inside my head When you ain't been listening to a word I said Yeah I'm gon' leave Don't blame me for my broken heart I put this love away Don't ask me to mull over it I need you to say Oh every word I never heard from every love who never loved me the same I broke it down I'm broken down along the highway road And you listened with one ear pressed to your cellular telephone And the only words that you done heard through all the crying and smoke is I'm gon' leave Don't blame me for my broken heart I put this love away Don't ask me to mull over it I need you to say Oh every word I never heard from every love who never loved me the same So where are we now in this hour I've been thinking 'bout you babe I've been mulling over it No I can't be your friend Some how it turns out now I'm feeling like the only one And I ain't having any fun So pour me another beer Cuz I'm just a train wreck Heading up an old dirt road Pulling up and fully loaded boys don't want me now But someday somebodies gonna want me for who I am Walk me straight through that baggage claim and put me in they're car They'll drive me to wherever we're going And I'll be their woman And they'll be my man

Hey hey hey Maker I'm sorry I've forsaken ya Along this road Well now we're startin all over Home ain't clearly shown yet Heart ain't clearly grown yet I know I ain't clearly where I said I would be by now But everything keeps dying and I feel so depressed Well life wouldn't be worth crying if money weren't the ends Of everything we need to just get by Hey hey hey Maker I've sure been tired Well he and I've been pacing Work well it don't pay here And the car needs repairs And the law says we're staying here 'Till our dues are paid up Well everything keeps dying and I feel so depressed Well life wouldn't be worth crying if money weren't the ends Of everything we need to just get by Oh if I could build a dream I'd wake up every morning Happy just to kiss the one who loves me Move out to the country Take these boots he gave me And break them in Hey hey hey Maker We sure do care And I hate to see you leavin When our babies need you here Well hey hey Maker We sure do love And I hate to see you dying When two hearts weren't enough Well if I had one more dream I'd wake up every morning Happy just to kiss the one who loves me Move out to the country Take these boots he gave me And break them in

You hardly know him My Momma say You only just met him the other day He's a fast talker girl Get your head on straight But he's all that I need Oh Daddy please Tells me I'm pretty among other things He's a music man Says he loves me so So I think I'll run away with him Cuz there ain't no trouble when we're kissin And I think I'll follow him Cuz if there's trouble It's just the trouble I've been missin Well he's always in leather Hotter the better Drives a fast car in the city of Nashville He's a good man Daddy Says he loves me so So I think I'll run away with him Cuz there ain't no trouble when we're kissin And I think I'll follow him Cuz if there's trouble It's just the trouble I've been missin Well I know where I'm going I know where he's been And I know in my heart where I rest my head tonight I'll show him where love is (x2) Yeah I think I'll run away with him Cuz there ain't no trouble when we're kissin And I think I'll follow him Cuz if there's trouble It's just the trouble I've been missin

Cowboy Song 03:02
Seasons change And you're ready to run And I'm ready to call back the wild You've got cowboy in your blood So get it out of your head That you're part of the chain that dies off And I'll follow you on land So long as your steady hand hold direction Well I know that we've been out of sight Right now one life is hard enough to fight I know you know about sacrifice SoCal rains they give me chills Watch the fire on the hills burn in all directions Had I met you way back when I'd of yet to learn that leading means serving the one you love Well I know that we've been out of sight Right now one life is hard enough to fight I know you know about sacrifice Just you remember you were my first love on that day And I'll remember how we talked for hours And every time I imagine your face I'll smile Cuz you are the only one who understood me child Well I know that we've been out of sight Right now one life is hard enough to fight I know you know about sacrifice

No Way 03:55
Time won't be wasted, not tonight I'll be leaving it all right with you Hearts won't be breaking that I swear I won't pick another fight with you But the gate is still unlocked And the neighbors come on in Yeah they brought another bottle That you'll be falling in No way There's no way we'll get along I ain't here to clean you dirty laundry While you walk all on my love I don't know how to feel alive when I'm dying at the sight of you Tragic was never such a word 'till I met a broken man like you While you dig another hole To burry all your sin Then you wonder why it's cold And your world is closing in No way There's no way we'll get along I ain't singing funeral songs or waiting 'round for wrongs to be done onto me No way There's no way we'll get along I ain't here to clean you dirty laundry While you walk all on my love And if you were half the man you said you tried to be Well maybe I'd of stuck around and talked of family And if you tried to get to know the family that raised me Well maybe I'd of listened when you begged me not to leave But No way There's no way we'll get along I ain't singing funeral songs or waiting 'round for wrongs to be done onto me No way There's no way we'll get along I ain't here to clean you dirty laundry While you walk all on my love But No way There's no way we'll get along Pack it in and pack it up Quit your crying Ain't no one wanders to a desperate man

Wild Plains 03:10
Wild plains in my heart Still a plain ol' part I play When things gonna break? Cash it in Set it straight Sell my diamond ring for a faded dream And ride away I know roads that go on forever I know love don't last that long For every stranger that chooses to wander Is a lone wolf Sharing a song I've been fair I've been thin I've been spellbound by your big talk promises Your clouded providence And I've taken all I can As a woman to a man You ain't changing things And I ain't got wings But lord don't leave me now What's lost can still be found One day when heart finds a home This life inside of me will grow I know roads that go on forever I know love don't last that long For every stranger that chooses to wander Is a lone wolf Sharing a song

What made you turn away? Was I not strong enough to save? Why bother with it now But I still love you anyhow And I always will 'Cuz I don't know how to live But you sure know how to live without me babe Showed me how red can turn to fifty shades of grey Bound up my arms Bound up my legs Threw me all fifty feet way down And turned 'round that killing spree Like I was killing me, uh huh I was naive come to think of You were to young to be in love I tell myself this now over whiskey And good friends they come and go And some faves stay But for you I feel the same And I always will 'Cuz I don't know how to live But you sure know how to live without me babe Showed me how red can turn to fifty shades of grey Bound up my arms Bound up my legs Threw me all fifty feet way down And turned 'round that killing spree Like I was killing me, uh huh Now I'm at peace Lay down your weapons I'm asking please Wouldn't you regret this 'Cuz I always will 'Cuz I don't know how to live But you sure know how to live without me babe Showed me how red can turn to fifty shades of grey Bound up my arms Bound up my legs Threw me all fifty feet way down And turned 'round that killing spree Like I was killing me, uh huh

Momma Says 02:58
Momma Says if he's your horse it'll come back But don't you ever go chasing for that stag At the same time if he's going to come back Don't you dare, let him in Well I say Momma I don't understand these changes All I know is that I sleep alone at night So if he come back round I'm afraid that I might save him From these tears our lonely hearts are crying tonight Been feeling like a storm's been coming in Like any day the sky will fall And every lullaby I sing this restless heart Reminds me just how fragile we are Well I say Momma I don't understand these changes All I know is that I sleep alone at night So if he come back round I'm afraid that I might save him From these tears our lonely hearts are crying tonight Said the ocean to the clouds Well you may be far away but I feel you all the same inside my arms We're reflected in the stars With hopes and dreams on hire things But here on earth the walking still comes hard And I don't understand these changes All I know is that I sleep alone at night So if he come back round I'm afraid that I might save him From these tears our lonely hearts are crying tonight

Everything I can't do I don't mind looking up to you 'Cuz I'm tired of looking down So I'm looking for the good I've found And I see You're so good to me Is it so wrong to trust you might Stay a little longer Love a little stronger And maybe I won't run this time In your hand I'm feeling safer and maybe I can say you're mine Ooh we all need to look towards the sun sometime Friends say I'm not quite right People say you're not my type These the same friends that stay inside the lines You and I know there's a great big world out there To find our way And I'm not afraid to say That I've made my mistakes But lord if it don't feel so good to think you might Stay a little longer Love a little stronger And maybe I won't run this time In your hand I'm feeling safer and maybe I can say you're mine Ooh we all need to look towards the sun sometime

If I told you that I loved ya Would you believe what I say Say I'm never thinking of ya That I wish it all away But baby sometimes I think you only listen when the birds stop singing You only hear me when I cry And I only love you when your world stops spinning out If I followed you back home Would you always make the bed Would you offer me a ring If I left you 'lone instead Cuz baby sometimes I think you only listen when the birds stop singing You only hear me when I cry And I only love you when your world stops spinning out
11.
I'll be your friend Stop this train You'll call again Stop this train I don't know how I'm feeling yet But we'll meet again You can bet Isn't it enough we're changing I can see the light from afar And if in it you end up staying I can grow a bigger heart You'll go again Stop this train And I won't know when You'll be back again I don't know how I'm feeling yet But you feel the same I can bet Isn't it enough we're changing I can see the light from afar And if in it you end up staying I can grow a bigger heart

Please don't talk about them other girls When I'm around don't want to hear about them girls But he keep talking 'bout the way things were With so and so and her and her And I keep wasting all my time Wondering what I thought I'd find in Oh that man, he really gives me heart ache He's a charming line of heartbreak What's a heart in love to do So he and I keep taking turns Just pulling weeds and words that burn And I keep giving back with all my time Well he don't like the way things are And I don't like his beat up car So why the hell we blurring all these lines Well oh that man, he really gives me heart ache He's a charming line of heartbreak What's a heart in love to do Well I need you by my side Oh honey I know things just ain't been right But where we break babe They say babe We come back stronger every time So I dumped him on a cold dead road Said honey id you had to know Well I've been thinking long and hard about leaving So go and find a brand new love And tell her all the same damn stuff I'll get on this pony drag and be leaving Well oh that man, he really gives me heart ache He's a charming line of heartbreak What's a heart in love to do
13.
When you're away I'm all mixed up Forgotten how to roam My public profile's all lit up To peak on strangers who never knew me They never knew And if they see me We won't say hi We never do When winter comes the ground gets cold We can't run far from home Our white man skin gets pale as snow We find more ways to be ghosts Like peak on strangers who never knew me They never knew And if they see me We won't say hi We look right through I lived more When I had less And I'd so much more love to give this life Keep the coffee brewing Keep the grounds a stewin I knew what I was doing Once I finish this cup
14.
There's a white barn Down a long road That ends in a little town And a grey house down by the water Where I'm my Ma and Dad's only daughter Where the ships pass like thoughts floating on rafts down the Detroit River There's a long trail Through the trees Past the park and peacocks and the gentle breeze And I'm rolling on my cruiser With music in my ear Well there ain't no room for sadness in the open fields of St. Clair Well this may be my home But this ain't where I've grown So I thank the big wide world From the west coast To the Scottish shores of the United Kingdom There's another town Not very far Full of beggars and broken down cars And dreams the size of baseball fields And flooded aspirations Where you can run faster than the buses pass In Detroit city Well this may be my home But this ain't where I've grown So I thank the big wide world From the west coast To the Scottish shores of the United Kingdom

Jazz Hands 03:28
This here is ending This here has just begun This year's been confusing What I've lost, what I've won Seems we become more what we feel When we take down the mirrors Love gravitates towards what is real And it's been coming clearer My love don't make you feel better Like a knife you find me hard to hold But your love don't leave me much better There's a hollow sound when you're home Like the tapping on the pipes this gets old There's a ticking, like the time is winding down I've been thinking maybe I should leave this town To the many many many who fall It was never very sacred at all To the many many others who live as happy lovers You're luck, I guess I'm impressed you stuck it out But I don't want to hear you tell me there's someone else for me I don't want to believe in this idea I don't want to live life thinking that love's the only reason I'm here Cuz my love don't make you feel better Like a knife you find me hard to hold But your love don't leave me much better There's a hollow sound when you're home Like the tapping on the pipes this gets old There's a ticking, like the time is winding down I've been thinking maybe I should leave this town
