Upstairs, Downtown

(toby keith/carl goff, jr.)
Route 14 box 308
She said goodbye at the cattle-guard gate
Hoping she would find her a place in the world
With her mind made up and tears in her eyes
It almost made her daddy cry
He said dont forget to call when you get there girl.
Driving on that two lane road hoping she might find
A whole lot more waiting up ahead than what she left behind
Moving upstairs, downtown
Lifes too short to be hanging around
Shes eighteen and its time she got out of the wood
Shes getting out while the gettings good
All bills paid and a room with a view
Shes unpacked a dish or two
She just got her phone turned on today
Theres a big, old world waiting just outside
As shes thumbing through the classifieds
Looking for work and any old jobs okay
Driving on that cross-town freeway hoping she might find
A whole lot more waiting up ahead than what she left behind
Living upstairs, downtown
Lifes too short to be hanging around
Shes eighteen and its time she got out of the wood
Shes getting out while the gettings good
Then she lost her job at the grocery store
And the wolf came knocking at the door
The red notice said they turned off her telephone
Theres nothing left for her to do so shes packed up a thing or two
Loaded her car down, now shes headed home
Driving on that two lane road hoping she might find
A whole lot more waiting up ahead than what she left behind
Living upstairs, downtown
Lifes too short to be hanging around
Shes eighteen and its time she got back to the wood
Shes getting out while the gettings good

Goodbye

Do we rally have to say goodbye
Look at your heart ache as you try to tell me
The love we made is not enough for you
Youre walking away from all that we dreamed of
The things you say are leading to...
Goodbye, goodbye
You made your mind up but your heart cant say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Say anything but darling dont say goodbye
You wait at the door and turn round to see me
The look in your eyes says you really want to stay
And then we touch, your hands are a whisper
They tell my heart that you cant say
Goodbye, goodbye
You made your mind up but your heart cant say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Say anything but darling dont say goodbye
Oh baby with or without you
Ill always love what we both knew
Goodbye, goodbye
You made your mind up but your heart cant say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Say anything but darling dont say goodbye
Dont say goodbye
Baby, lets talk about love
Lets talk about it now
Please baby, dont say
Baby, lets talk about love
Without your love I cant go on
Without you
Baby dont say
Baby lets talk about love

Theres No Goodbye

Made up my mind to say goodbye,
Went to the park for the last time.
But when I saw your eyes,
I knew for the first time,
That theres no goodbye between us.
Theres no goodbye,
Theres no goodbye,
Theres no goodbye between us.
If one day we slip away,
And that may be in the cards,
We will know deep in our hearts
That theres no goodbye between us.
Theres no goodbye,
Theres no goodbye,
Theres no goodbye between us.
Theres no goodbye,
Theres no goodbye,
Theres no goodbye between us.

No More Tears (feat. Na Na)

No more tears
on my own again
I never say goodbye
Here I am
I feel like a hurricane
but upside down
I move like in M.A.D.
to every sound
trembling before you
cause I'm going down ...
My last stand
is all that I'm hearing
will I ever find
an answer to what I have
on my mind
thousand yard stare
cause I'm going down ...
No more tears
on my own again
I never say goodbye
I will be just fine
You're still on my mind
Will you ever tell me why
Aiming high
I turn from the light
and I am on my way
falling into the darkness
I can't stay
There's no escape
and I am going down
Final try
I'm back from the other side
and right on time
to once and for all claim
back what's mine
the future is bright
and I won't go down
No more tears
on my own again
I never say goodbye
I will be just fine
You're still on my mind
Will you ever tell me why
No more tears
on my own again
I never say goodbye
still on my mind
Will you ever tell me why
No more tears
on my own again
I never say goodbye
I will be just fine
You're still on my mind
Will you ever tell me why

A Bad Way Of Saying Goodbye

(trace adkins/sam hogin/jim mcbride)
You left without saying I love you
And that makes three days in a row
Now that youre tired of pretending
Its time that I let you know
I dont disagree with your feelings
We both need to find a new life
But this aint the way we should end it
Its a bad way of saying goodbye
There must be a better way of sayin' its over
Where nobody walks away with tears in their eyes
When you stay til regret is all you have left
Thats a bad way of saying goodbye
When I think of you Ill remember
How you looked at me when we met
But the way that youre looking at me now
Ill do my best to forget
Its not your fault, but its not mine
We both made mistakes though we tried
So leaving without syaing Im sorry
Is a bad way of saying goodbye
There must be a better way of saying its over
Where nobody walks away with tears in their eyes
When you stay til regret is all you have left
Thats a bad way of saying goodbye
Thats a bad way of saying goodbye

You Aint Much Fun

(toby keith/carl goff, jr.)
I used to come home late and not a minute too soon
Barking like a dog, howling at the moon
Youd be mad as an ol red hen, up all night wonderin where I been
Id fall down and say come help me honey
You laughed outloud, I guess you thought it was funny
I sobered up, and I got to thinkin
Girl you aint much fun since I quit drinkin
Now Im paintin the house and Im mendin the fence
I guess I gone out and lost all my good sense
Too much work is hard for your health
I couldve died drinkin, now Im killing myself
Now Im feedin the dog, sackin the trash
Its honey do this, honey do that
I sobered up, and I got to thinkin
Girl you aint much fun since I quit drinkin
Now Im fixin the sink and Im mowin the grass
You made me a list and Im bustin my...wheel
All broke down, tails been (or talespin? ? ) draggin
Its a tough ol life up here on the wagon
Now Im feedin the dog, sackin the trash
Its honey do this, honey do that
I sobered up, and I got to thinkin
Girl you aint much fun since I quit drinkin
Yeah, I sobered up, and I got to thinkin
Girl you aint much fun since I quit drinkin

I Cried Away the Tears From My Eyes

I cried away the tears from my eyes.
Trying to minimize the hurt I felt inside.
I cried until my eyes had dripped and dried...
That night you walked out and said goodbye.
Making me to feel I had been downsized.

I cried away the tears from my eyes,
Connected to your leaving with a grieving underneath!
And rode it out the rest of the night...
Alone and knowing you were gone on your own.
And wouldn't be answering your telephone.

I cried away the tears from my eyes.
Trying to minimize the hurt I felt inside.
I cried until my eyes had dripped and dried...
That night you walked out and said goodbye.
Making me to feel I had been downsized.
Hoping one day I could apologize.

I cried away the tears from my eyes.
Hoping one day I could apologize.
Since you made me feel I had been downsized.
That night you walked out and said goodbye.
And I cried my eyes until they dripped and dried.

You came and maximized my whole life.
But you hit me in the gut with a sucker punch.
And caring less I'm in a mess,
Feeling much crunched.

I cried away the tears from my eyes.
Trying to minimize the hurt I felt inside.
I cried until my eyes had dripped and dried.

I cried away the tears from my eyes.
Trying to minimize the hurt I felt inside.
I cried until my eyes had dripped and dried.
Trying to minimize the hurt I felt inside.
I cried and cried until my eyes had dried!

Easy Money

South of the border and busted,
Caught by a woman I trusted,
Now dont you call me a fool,
It could have happened to you,
Its just my luck,
It had to happen to me.
Sweet carmelita betrayed me
She said, take me home, serenade me.
I figured a song could do me no wrong.
I didnt know how wrong I could be.
Easy money for just one run to peru.
Itll be so easy. well have no trouble gettin through.
Well I almost made it, except for that one border guard.
He opened up my guitar. hello prison yard.
Goodbye easy money. easy money.
The chiquita must have told em my story
cause when my eyes finally focused next morning
Carmelita had spoken bout guitars and some coke
And she laughed as they slapped me in chains.
I was thrown in cell with a killer.
A convict who coughed through the night.
While I laid awake with the chills and shakes,
Hoping for a file in a cake.
Easy money for just one run to peru.
Itll be so easy. well have no trouble gettin through.
Well I almost made it, except for that one border guard.
He opened up my guitar. hello prison yard.
Just to make me mad he smashed my guitar.
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye,
Easy money

Don't Go

(Keith UrbanG M Holden)
I've seen it happen too many times
And just where it starts I don't know
You're travelling steady but you don't see the signs
That tell you there's a fork in the road
And you don't think it's right but you're both turnin' away
And the ending is always the same
When suddenly parallel lives drift apart
And there's no one accepting the blame
But girl you and I we got too much too lose
By one of us saying goodbye
And I see it clearly we're both meant to be
But you got that look in your eyes
CHORUS:
Don't go, don't go
Cause you might regret everything
When you wake up on your own
Oh no, I'm not lettin' go
And I never will surrender what we got together
Layin' beside you I can't sleep at all
Wonderin' what your thinkin' inside
Will I wake up and find that
You've made up your mind to
Go it alone for awhile
And don't say it's present when it's all in the past
You gotta stop lookin' behind
And take everything as it comes for today is
The first day of the rest of your life
REPEAT CHORUS
Don't go, oh never say goodbye, Don't go
Oh no, you got that look in your eyes
I've seen it before, you're gonna walk out that door
REPEAT CHORUS 2x

Shes Perfect

(toby keith/wayne perry)
I took lisa down to the cafe
The one where we first fell in love
I played the same song that we used to dance to
Hopin it might be enough
But when I told her I was sorry
That only made it worse
Then the waitress came over and saw lisa cryin
Said, honey, whats the matter with her
Theres nothin wrong with her, shes perfect
Shes as pure as she can be
Shed never say it, but the only mistake she ever made was me
It might appear to you shes broken
By the teardrops in her eyes
But theres nothin wrong with her, shes perfect
Im the one who made her cry
Could you please bring us two cups of coffee
We might be here for a while
Make mine black and hers sweet as sugar
Something that matches her smile
Shes already loved me for half of her life
Shes never been untrue
So let me tell you before you ask her
If theres anything you can do
Theres nothin wrong with her, shes perfect
Shes as pure as she can be
Shed never say it, but the only mistake she ever made was me
It might appear to you shes broken
By the teardrops in her eyes
But theres nothin wrong with her, shes perfect
Im the one who made her cry
Theres nothin wrong with her, shes perfect
Im the one who made her cry

Say Goodbye

(harold faltermeyer/ david cooke/ magda la bont?
Producers for bonnie: harold faltermeyer/ uli fisher/ andi slavik
Recorded in 1994 for the animated feature film asterix in amerika (aka asterix conquers america). lyrics taken from careful listening.
Somewhere inside is burning
I dont know why its hurting
Hoping for just one sign in your eyes
That tells me you will be still
Where can I go to find you?
What must I do to feel you?
Always looking, but too blind to see
You were there, right by my side
Say goodbye, Ill never forget
Say goodbye, I believe in the day
Say goodbye, our hearts could beat both together
cause we, well find a way...one day
What can I do, to hold you
Now that I know, I love you
Never found that our hearts felt the same
til the cold light of day stole our dreams
Say goodbye, Ill never forget
Say goodbye, cause I believe in the day
Say goodbye, our hearts could beat both together
cause we, well find a way...
Say goodbye, Ill never forget
Say goodbye, I believe in the day
Say goodbye, our hearts could beat both together
cause we, well find a way
We will find a way
We will find a way
We will find a way

Toby

There was once a boy called toby
'named Toby at his birth'
But after eating a potato that he hand reared from the earth
He doubted he was toby even toby from afar
And ridiculed he failed at school
After many a taunting hour of,

'Toby or not Toby? '
He learnt the soliloquy by heart
And having no answer to the question
Changed his name to 'Hamlet'
And became a 'movie star! '

Got My Mind Made Up

Dont ever try to change me,
I been in this thing too long.
Theres nothin you can say or do
To make me think Im wrong.
Well, Im goin off to libya,
Theres a guy I gotta see.
Hes been living there three years now,
In an oil refinery.
Ive got my mind made up.
Oh, I ve got my mind made up.
Call your ma in tallahassee
Tell her her babys on the line.
Tell her not to worry
Everything is gonna be fine.
Well, I gave you all my money
All my connections, too.
There aint nothin in this world, girl
You can say I didnt give to you.
Ive got my mind made up.
Ive got my mind made up.
You will be alright, girl,
Someones watchin over you.
He wont do nothin to you
Baby that I wouldnt do.
Well, if you dont want to see me,
Look the other way.
You dont have to feed me,
I aint your dog thats gone astray.
I got my mind made up
I got my mind made up
I got my mind made up
I got my mind made up
I got my mind made up

Dark the shadows haunt the night

If I began to cry
The tears would never end
If I lowered my guard
Then how could I defend?

From every side the walls close in
And there is no place that you could stand
That would hide you from this world
And all that it demands

Whoever said that life was fair
Has not lived long enough
When the path takes you along the edge
You'll see them fall off the bluff

But the problem is
If your guard is high
You will wither away
And begin to die

How could something so small
Cast such a shadow on the land?
How was it that it stood so tall
Yet it was just a grain of sand?

I made my way through this world
With the Sun forever at my back
And the shadows went before me
And the shadow it was black

One grain of sand in my eye
Tormented me for many years
And I could never hope to fly
For I was blinded by my fears

Then Jesus came and turned me round
To face the rising Sun
His light it shone upon my face
And my journey had begun

When you walk into the Son
The shadows fall behind
The Sun removes the grain of sand
Now you're no longer blind

Who is your grain of sand my child
That made you stumble, made you fall?
In the light of Christ perhaps you'll find
That persons not so very tall

Dark the shadows haunt the night
That cause you to run and hide
Look to the Son that shines so bright
And He will shine that light inside

O to be filled with the light of Christ
And see the shadows disappear
To lift my eyes to heavens heights
And finally to shed a tear

Brace Up

Thanks to Abraham Lincoln
Once possed a faiure icon
but, now in every nation
his democratic motion.

the prince of furtune teller
my own Nelson Mandella
His many prison years
drained a nations' tears

Who jumped the college gate
The little lad Bill Gate
the module of his mind
the world has lived to find

who made the notes to wonder
the blind Stephen wonder
caught in challenged sight
a star music of might.

Sure you are a poorper
Think of Wnfrey Opra
Once a colour purple
now a black in purple.

I had a heartbreaking experience when I was 9. I always wanted to be a guard. The most wonderful girl in the world was a guard. When I got polio and then went back to school, they made me a guard. A teacher took away my guard button.

devil In Heaven

The devil is weak,
The devil is ill,
The devil is dying.

The clergy comes around,
The clergy offers prayers,
The clergy offers him the keys to heaven.

The devil collects the key,
The devil dies and soon is at the gate of heaven,
The devil unlocks the gate and now he’s in heaven.

The angels on guard knew him as a devil, but
The angels on guard made no attempt to stop him,
The angels on guard even said 'welcome'.

The devil is in heaven, ‘coz
The clergy gave him the key,
The clergy asked us to let him,
The clergy asked God to let him,
The key made the guards to let him,
Now the devil is in heaven,
And there’s nothing even the Devil can do about it.

Place Your Love

Sunday / sick o my tears / monday morning / I couldve felt much better.
Tuesday / youre in my way / I wish you would type my heart a letter.
Place your love / in my world / its for you /
Its made for you / I need time / a lot o time /
To get you off my mind / to get you off my mind.
Wednesday / nuthins ok / thursday afternoon / I wish I was sleepin.
Friday and saturday sun / gettin up early but I cant get nuthin done.
Place your love / in my world / its for you /
Its all made for you / I need time / a lot o time /
To get you off my mind / to get you off my mind.
Maybe youll come here / maybe youll disappear /
Maybe the clouds I fear will turn to flowers in the air /
These cool vibrations / theyre hitting me all the time /
Youve got me diggin and divin in the garden of my mind.
Its a high / to watch you fly / across the sky /
All the time / to watch you all the time.

I'm sorry i told you we're through! !

I'm sorry that i caused you tears,
the day i said goodbye,
I'm sorry that you broke down,
and that i made you cry,
You told me that you 'loved me',
but that just can't be true,
I'm sorry that my feelings,
just wern't the same for you,
I'm sorry that i made,
this relationship come to an end,
I'm sorry that we can't,
be no more than friends,
I'm sorry that i caused you,
an awful amount of pain,
I produced these grey clouds,
I'm sorry i caused the rain,
I'm sorry that together,
we wern't that special one,
I'm sorry that i ended it,
and told you we were done,
I'm sorry that i made you question 'why? '
but i can't pretend,
and i will not lie!
I'm sorry what i said,
you couldn't change my mind,
you deserve a lovely lady,
which someday you will find,
I'm sorry that i hurt you,
I'm sorry i said we are through,
I'm sorry we couldn't give it one more try,
I'm so sorry,
i said good bye! !

Change The World

Imagine a place only your soul can vision
The heart of a child who looks, sees, and listens
Paints a picture using every color
And what she sees she sees it like no other
One word, a voice unheard
You can Change The World
With everything I know your made of
One word, a voice unheard
You can Change The World
If everyone would stop and listen
The art of innocence makes so much sense
Of a place there no wrong has well then it's wasted
Filtered through the eyes of a pure mind
A one of a kind, paradise for you and I, you and I
One word, a voice unheard
You can Change The World
With everything I know your made of
One word, a voice unheard
You can Change The World
If everyone would stop and listen
Break the cycle, find your rhythm
Share the gift that you've been given - Love
You can, You can Change The World
You can Change The World with love
One word, a voice unheard
You can Change The World
With everything I know your made of
One word, a voice unheard
You can Change The World
If everyone would stop and listen
One word, a voice unheard
You can Change The World
With everything I know your made of
One word, a voice unheard
You can Change The World
If everyone would stop and listen
