Man Of The House
Well I ain't proud of what I'm about to do
All alone up here with you
With the picture of your man
Face down upon the night stand, so he can't see
And I don't like running all the red lights here
Every time the coast is clear
Any time you need my lovin'
You know I'll come running, faithfully
(Chorus)
Cause he stays so busy with his money
And you, you get so lonely when he's gone
And me, I'm just your temporary lover
'Til your blues are gone
I'm the man of the house whenever he ain't home
Now the statues on the side of that big gate
They're laughing as I drive away
And I can't keep from thinking
Are they laughing at your old man or at me
And the only part that I don't like to play
Is the part when I get up and go away
I find it mighty hard
Just keeping this old heart tucked away
Cause he stays...
(Repeat Chorus)
I'm the man of the house
When your other man ain't home

Speed Of The Sound Of Loneliness
You come home late and you come home early
You come on big when youre feeling small
You come home straight and you come home curly
Sometimes you dont come home at all
Chorus:
So what in the worlds come over you
And what in heavens name have you done
Youve broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
Youre out there running just to be on the run
Well I got a heart that burns with a fever
And I got a worried and a jealous mind
How can a love thatll last forever
Get left so far behind
Repeat chorus:
Its a mighty mean and a dreadful sorrow
Its crossed the evil line today
Well, how can you ask about tomorrow
We aint got one word to say

House Is Not My Home
Well I'm tired, so tired of getting up and wasting another day
I wish the picture on the wall would still say it all
But now yesterday is so far away
And I would give anything, say anything
To keep it all like it was
But you just throw it all away
And I think this house is not my home
I think that I'd rather be alone tonight
I'm trying, trying to fake it
I'm tired, so tired, of giving up and taking all the blame
I wish the shouting and the fights would stop for the night
Can't close my eyes and make them all go away
And I would give anything, say anything
To keep it all like it was
But you just throw it all away
Repeat Chorus
This is the part where you say
You can't stay together just for me
This is the part where you make me choose
On whose side I want to be
This is the part where you decide
What's going to be best for me
This is the start
Now we grow apart (x2)

Drive A Crooked Road
Cruisin down the street
Got the glaze in my eyes
Lookin for a thousand reasons why
I dont want to be here
I dont want to die
What was I thinking we should have known
All the lights are one
But theres nobody home
Drive a crooked road
Stop inside a liquor store
Just to grab a taste
Man behind the counter
Dont recognize my face
Give me all your money
Got not time to waste
What was I thinking
We should have known
All the lights are one
But theres nobody home
Chorus:
Drive a crooked road
Drive a crooked road
Satisfy your soul
Drive a crooked road
I just ran out of time
I just ran out of luck
Ive never been busted
And this aint even my truck
Everybodys laughin
Nobody cares
It seems like theres red
Flashin lights everywhere
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Sittin in the darkness
Im staring at the bars
Couldnt drive too fast
I couldnt drive too far
I could have been somebody
I could have been a star
Should have stayed at home
Should have stayed in bed
Thought I heard this crazy
Screaming, screaming in my head, said

What was I thinking
We should have known
All the lights are one
But theres nobody home

Im Going Home
Mama please dont go
Wont you stay here for one more day
Ive been your boy for so long now
Theres so much I still have to say
Sky rips open, and I hold my heart in my hand
Like a soldier on his very last day
Cried myself to sleep that night, and I listened
As I heard the angels sing
Chorus:
Sha la la la sha la la la, Im going home.
Sha la la la sha la la la, Im going home.
Something inside makes me scream
How could God take you from a little boy
Hell be alright, hes by my side
Hes no little boy, hes my pride and joy
Repeat chorus
Summer on the radio and the phone rings
And it was jeanette
She said boy we had to let her go
I begged her no, no not yet
You left six of us to fend for ourselves
I guess its part of someones master plan
I see you laughing, youre my best friend
Youre the light of the lamb, and I cried
As the angels sing

Pick Your Poison
Running from yourself like you're stranded
And now you're exactly where
You never thought you would be
In the dark without a light to guide you
What once was a breath
Is now a gasp to survive
You left so much behind
So many questions unanswered
The other side
The crash to the burn
The fingers that picket
For your solid satisfaction
Belong to the hands
Wrapped around your neck so tight
[Chorus]
You live today, Without a care
Tomorrow will come and I'll still be here
I gave myself to you and you left me with lies
And there will come a time when you have so much
But there's so little that you can touch
And still I consider you a friend
For every temporary sucker
That's in place
That you need
Is another cry
For you to return
You've been there
You've been square
But nothing in between
Now it's time to find those
Who are looking for you tonight
[Chorus]
It's hard to accept
But there's people that don't care
In a world so cold
And they seem unfair
But you've got to realise
You have a purpose
And it's not through your nose
That you can see the light
When I was scared
You picked me up
You told me never to forget
That I'll be there by your side
So here I am
We've gone too far
And it's been a long time
Since we've been at peace
We followed a part
But I still know
That behind the mask
Is a familiar face
It's you
[Chorus]

Part-time Lover
Call up, ring once, hang up the phone
To let me know you made it home
Dont want nothing to be wrong with part-time lover
If shes with me Ill blink the lights
To let you know tonights the night
For me and you my part-time lover
We are undercover passion on the run
Chasing love up against the sun
We are strangers by day, lovers by night
Knowing its so wrong, but feeling so right
If Im with friends and we should meet
Just pass me by, dont even speak
Know the words discreet when part-time lovers
But if theres some emergency
Have a male friend to ask for me
So then she wont peek its really you my part-time lover
We are undercover passion on the run
Chasing love up against the sun
We are strangers by day, lovers by night
Knowing its so wrong, but feeling so right
(repeat)
Ive got something that I must tell
Last night someone rang our doorbell
And it was not you my part-time lover
And then a man called our exchange
But didnt want to leave his name
I guess that two can play the game
Of part-time lovers
You and me, part-time lovers
But, she and he, part-time lovers

Friend Forever
So we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now
'Cause you don't have another day
'Cause we're moving on and can't slow it down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
I keep on thinking of the night in June
I didn't know much of love but it came too soon
And there was me and you when we got real blue
We'd stay at home talking on the telephone
We'd got so excited and get so scared
Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels...
(CHORUS):
As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever,
We will still be friends forever
So if we get the big jobs and we make the big money
When we look back now will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything what we learned in school
Still be trying to break every single rule?
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Will Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep - kepp thinking that its not goodbye
Keep on thinking its our time to fly
And this is how it feels...
Repeat Chorus:
La la la la la la la...
(We will still be friends forever)
We think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us around
Will these memories fade when I leave this town?
I keep - kepp thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's our time to fly

Life's worth living for
Who knows what could happen

Mimis House
I remember many times when I was just a child,
How I played in that old house upon the farm.
With rocking chairs and squeaky stairs, all pieces of her world,
And a fire in her room to keep us warm.
cause no one is a stranger in mimis house,
cause love has made his home there in her heart.
And shes got that infectious way of laughing right out loud
That takes away my pain and lights the dark.
And now were not as young as when I played there all the time,
And the visits seemed too scarce and far between,
But life goes on at mimis house, and in my mind Im there,
With a fire in her room to keep us warm.
cause no one is a stranger in mimis house,
cause love has made his home there in her heart.
And shes got that infectious way of laughing right out loud
That takes away my pain and lights the dark.
And when I stop and think of how shes aging,
Growing strong and graceful in her god.
Well, you know it takes my fear away from aging;
She seems to know the secret that well never be apart.
cause no one is a stranger in mimis house,
cause love has made his home there in her heart.
And shes got that infectious way of laughing right out loud
That takes away my pain and lights the dark.
Yes, shes got that infectious way of laughing right out loud
That takes away my pain and lights the dark.

Wishful Thinking
Written by Travis Tritt & Gary Rossington
When you told me you were leaving
Girl I didn't believe a word
'Cause to think that you'd walk out on me
Just sounded too absurd
I'd like to change the things I did
That tore our love apart
But that's just wishful thinking on my part
Chorus:
Well I'm hoping and I'm praying
You'll give me one more try
'Cause it's an awful price I'm paying
With the tear drops that I've cried
I guess I should have listened
If I had only been that smart
But that's just wishful thinking on my part
I found out it's the little things
That made our house a home
You'd be surprised how much I've learned
Every day since you've been gone
But I wished I'd learned that lesson
Before it broke my heart
But that's just wishful thinking on my part
Chorus
Well that's just wishful thinking on my part

Singin' The Blues
I've been working so hard,
Just came home from my job.
Looked down in my wallet,
Good God, I've been robbed.
Now where can my money be,
All my hard-earned pay?
What am I going to do now?
I got my bills to pay.
You got me singin' the blues,
And I'm paying all my dues.
You got me singin' the blues,
Ain't got nothing to lose.
I got to tell you I got the blues down in my pockets.
People, what did I say?
Bills are gonna rob me tomorrow,
Why I need my ten dollars today.

Cry now, laugh laugh later.

I thought they wanted money,
Two thieves as they were passing by,
They tied me up so lonely,
And took the car out from under my eyes.
Cry now, laugh later,
Cry now, Ill get you later,
Im just too tired now to return the favor,
Cry now laugh later.
I dont know why Im laughing,
Immigration breathing down my back,
Aint got no money for a pay off,
Stay in jail until they send me back,
I dont know why Im laughing,
Im still hurting from the pain,
A foreigner in this hell hole,
He aint never gunna touch me again.

Youe got me crying now,
Ill laugh at you later,

The Last Time
Now its the last time to remember what you said to me
And Im the last person in the world I thought Id be
And now its high time to be something bigger than we are
Its never too late to reverse a thing thats gone too far
(1st chorus)
And I think the whole worlds laughing at us
But I dont care, thats not the point
Theres so much more
Theres so much more than meets the eye
Oh, when youre around Im blind
Now its the last time to leave the shadows far behind
And its the last time to clear the cobwebs from our mind
And its the last time to bury all our memories
And its the last time before everything just fades away
(2nd chorus)
And I wish that you were here with me
And I wish that somehow things would change
Youd lose your fear of me
And I feel that things might be okay
Oh, wouldnt that be strange
Now its the last time to reconsider what weve done
And its the last time to start all over from day one

Home Improvement
The walls that surround us
Are slowly crumblin' down
But the heart of this foundation
Is still on solid ground
Just needs some renovation and a lot of TLC
And a long night of lovin' is all that we both need
Chorus:
So roll the shades down
Lock the doors up tight
Turn on the code-a-phone
If the door bell rings
We'll just stay in bed and pretend nobody's home
Let the neighbors think we moved away
Or forgot to pay the rent
There ain't nothing wrong with this old house
It just needs a little home improvement
Every day we go our separate ways
To make our dreams come true
But it ain't worth the sacrifice
If we're giving up me and you
We gotta hold on tighter than tight
To the ties that make us strong
And get back to the roots
That made this house a home

Woke Up Laughing
(robert palmer)
I was waiting for you
I was sat in the sun
I could picture your face on the tip of my tongue
I woke up laughing
I broke into a sweat
I broke into a run
You were hot in my heels so I hired a gun
I woke up laughing
I was flat on my back
I was taking a plunge
It was making a stand but my plan was undone
I woke up laughing
Well I planned an escape for the middle of june
But I drug too fast and I fire too soon
I woke up laughing
Woke up laughing
You make yourself a fortune, out in hong kong
You sit at home and wonder whether you were wrong
You take a small vacation just to keep sane
You find on your return your home has blown away
You meditate, you make haste
You run a risk, you come late,
You pay a bill, you lose face
Youre not fully unaware
Your star or your fate
If you fall do you break
You go to war, you make love
You sign out in a box

Oh, hmm oh yeah, hmm, hmm, hmm
I'm on way back to Atlanta
About to start a new life
Cause I can't take it here
It seems the more we fight
The more the pressure
I'm in this lonely house
Sitting high up on a hill
Pressin' the buttons on the control
Flipping through channels on TV
Wondering when you're coming home
And take care of family
At least you can call and say I'm busy
At least you can say I'm running late
At least you can give some kind of notice
Let somebody know that you're okay
At least you can take some time to phone
At least you can just one day stay home
At least you can take me out to me
If you love me, you would've done those things
You won't miss me till I'm gone
Impossible to drink from a well that's gone dry, yeah
And every night you come in singing the same old song
How could you do me wrong?
When you know it ain't right
Pressin' the buttons on the control
Flipping through channels on TV
Wondering when you're coming home
And take care of family

At least you can say I'm running late
At least you can give some kind of notice
Let somebody know that you're okay
At least you can take some time to phone
At least you can just one day stay home
At least you can take me out to me
If you love me, you would've done those things
Take in a movie show, a carnival
A place to go, we can be alone
But instead I'm staring at these matching walls
The weekends spent, a compliment
Flowers sent would've kept me at home
But now instead I'm packing my bags and I'm gone
At least you can call and say I'm busy
At least you can say I'm running late
At least you can give some kind of notice
Let somebody know that you're okay
At least you can take some time to phone

At least you can take some time to phone
At least you can just one day stay home
At least you can take me out to me
If you love me, you would've done those things
All I wanted was a smile
For you to stay a little while
It's too late for it
Cause you forgot the little things, whoa, oh
At least you can call and say I'm busy
At least you can say I'm running late
At least you can give some kind of notice

Forever
Thinking back, those long summer days
Young and not afraid
Did what we wanted to
Broke some hearts, didnt think Id ever start
To get tired of the part
Thats when I pictured you
Met a face, already knew so well
It was easy to tell
That you knew me too
Spent our time, laughing all the while
I made you lose your smile
Now Im losing you
(pre-chorus)
Is it too late
cause just like before
Ill be knocking at your door
(chorus)
Cant take the pain away from you
And theres nothing I can do
Until you let me through
Without you theres nothing left for me
Oh baby cant you see
Together we will be, forever
Times have changed, some are good and some are bad
The future that we have
Cant be all a dream
Nights that we would find, when we nearly lost our minds
Now could we ever be so blind
cause we were meant to be

Lovin' On The Side
(Keith UrbanG M Holden)
I can't believe it, guess I'll never understand
Seems to me, I'm lookin' at someone who's
an unchanged man
Tell me, what've I gotta do
To make you see that she's always loved you
Right there waitin' in the wings
Unaware of the foolish things you do, think about it
CHORUS:
She would never do a thing to hurt you
And there is nothing she'd ever need to hide
You're takin everything she gives for granted
You got it all and still I don't know why
You're lovin' on the side
If somebody told her 'bout your secret ways
Do you think you'd ever find another
who could take her place
I'd give everything I own
Just to have what you got at home
But still you are never satisfied
Why do you keep lovin' on the side when you know
REPEAT CHORUS
Tell me what I've gotta do
To make you see that she always loved you
Right there waitin' in the wings
Unaware of the foolish things you do,
well think about it
You're lovin' on the side
Lovin' on the side
