The Girl I Left Behind Me
Its old enough to try and tie you down
So, I just couldnt wait and hang around
You always said must be free
But you couldnt see you were loosing me
And messing up the one good thing we had
Chorus:
And now Im going out the way that I came in
The game is over now, I couldnt win
My heart is all I have to pack
And this time girl I wont be back
And years from now Ill turn around and see
The girl I left behind me
I told myself that things would be ok
You would come around to my way any day
As time went on you just stayed the same
No, you couldnt chang or be rearranged
Im picking up the pieces of my life
Chorus
As time went on you just stayed the same
No, you couldnt chang or be rearranged
Im picking up the pieces of my life
Chorus
Behind me...

Just Couldnt Wait
I miss her face, but the girl left seven years ago.
Guess I never shouldve let her go.
Thats how I feel because I love her so.
But Im afraid that she will never know.
She just couldnt wait, she said she couldnt wait til some day.
She just couldnt wait, my baby just couldnt wait, no.
She said she couldnt wait til some day, til some day.
Oh, tell me now, where do the broken-hearted go from here.
You missed her love and now youre steering clear.
I aint afraid of nothin but my fear.
The fear that she might see this rollin tear.
She just couldnt wait, she said she couldnt wait til sunday.
She just couldnt wait, my baby just couldnt wait, no.
She just couldnt wait, my baby just couldnt wait, no.
Oh she couldnt wait til sunday no, til sunday.
She just couldnt wait, my baby just couldnt wait, no.
She said she couldnt wait til sunday.
She just couldnt wait, my baby just couldnt wait, no.
She said she just couldnt wait.
You know she just couldnt wait, no.
She said she couldnt wait til sunday, til sunday.
Oh, oh...

Heaven Is One Step Away
By eric clapton
We searched all through the night.
I couldnt find it; you couldnt find it.
I knew something wasnt right.
I couldnt find it; you couldnt find it.
And they say heaven is one step away.
Heaven is one step away.
And then there came the dawn:
I couldnt find it; you couldnt find it.
I just had to carry on.
I couldnt find it; you couldnt find it.
Chorus
We didnt leave till a quarter to three.
All your friends, they were laughing at me.
I dont get it, I dont understand;
Who is that man holding your hand?
First verse
Chorus
Heaven is one step away.
Heaven is one step away.
Heaven is one step away.
Heaven is one step away.

I Just Couldnt Say No
Written by randy owen, teddy gentry, and greg fowler
Youve got me achin more than I should
My heart is breakin, oh dont it feel good
cause I know for certain, were magic in love
Youve got me hurtin, cause I cant get enough
I just couldnt say no even though I should
Even if I did, wonder if you could
I just couldnt say no when your eyes say yes, yes
I just cant say no, Ive tried my best
The way you tease me makes me want you more
You purr like a kitten but I hear you roar
Your body language is talkin to me
Right here in the darkness, its so plain to see
I just couldnt say no even though I should
Even if I did, wonder if you could
I just couldnt say no, no, when your eyes say yes, yes
I just cant say no, Ive tried my best, I just couldnt say no
I just couldnt say no, no, when your eyes say yes, yes
I just cant say no, Ive tried my best
I just couldnt say no, Ive tried my best
I just couldnt say no

Heart Away
(robin wilson)
Heres a little something that I brought here for you
It aint much but it might just do
Fairly serious could hardly say
That I couldnt give my heart away
I couldnt give my heart away
Its never enough to feel and say
Throw my promises away
Several things that I could do
But I couldnt give my heart to you
I couldnt give my heart to you
Smokes on the table the matches are lost
Theres room in the back of the bar
Fairly serious could hardly say
That I couldnt give my heart away
I couldnt give my heart away
Aw, its not really serious but I should prove
That I dont mean what I might not do
Not that you wanted it anyway
But I couldnt give my heart away
I couldnt give my heart away...

Thank You For Loving Me
Its hard for me to say the things
I want to say sometimes
Theres no one here but you and me
And that broken old street light
Lock the doors
Well leave the world outside
All Ive got to give to you
Are these five words when i
Chorus:
Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldnt see
For parting my lips
When I couldnt breathe
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me
I never knew I had a dream
Until that dream was you
When I look into your eyes
The skys a different blue
Cross my heart
I wear no disguise
If I tried, youd make believe
That you believed my lies
Chorus:
Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldnt see
For parting my lips
When I couldnt breathe
Thank you for loving me
You pick me up when I fall down
You ring the bell before they count me out
If I was drowning you would part the sea
And risk your own life to rescue me
Solo
Lock the doors
Well leave the world outside
All Ive got to give to you
Are these five words when i
Chorus:
Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldnt see
You parted my lips
When I couldnt breathe
Thank you for loving me
When I couldnt fly
Oh, you gave me wings
You parted my lips
When I couldnt breathe
Thank you for loving me

Nick Of Time
I led a lonesome journey
Full of disdain and furry
I kept my angered yearning
Close to me like fire burning
I watched a million chances
Slip through my weathered hands
I almost lost myself when I looked around
There was no one else
Chorus:
In the nick of time
He over took my mine
And suddenly I saw the world much clearer
In the nick of time
He turned water into wine
And suddenly I didnt feel the fear
Right before my eyes
You showed me there was life to be found
Youre the miracle I prayed about you
You were the one who saved my life
In the nick of time
I followed habits around
Been swept up above the clouds
But fallen down left shaken
Abandoned by the pills Id taken
I could have kept on going
With no one ever knowing
Who really wants to see a tired nobody like me
Chorus (2x)
I could not, could not believe
That you were right there waiting
I never, no, I never dreamed
That youd be right there waiting
Oh you were there for me
And when I couldnt see,
I couldnt, no, I couldnt see
You showed me life (2x)
LIFE (3x)
Chorus (2x

Killing Time
Who is counting sleepless nights
Who is counting letters I meant to write
I said who is counting at all
If you are
I look pretty small
But no matter what I do
If I couldnt call you mine
If I couldnt be with you
Id just be killing time
You went searching for me in the night sky
And when I burned away you wondered why
Well Ill tell you babe I could not bear to stall
I fell too fast I fell too far
But no matter what I do
If I couldnt call you mine
If I couldnt be with you
Id just be killing time
Big big fishes in little ponds
Ive seen them walk around with magic wands
But no matter what I do
If I couldnt call you mine
If I couldnt be with you
Id just be killing time
There aint no magician hidden inside of me
So no matter what you hear I hope you see
That just when Im trying to be tall
Thats when I end up looking pretty small
But no matter what I do
If I couldnt call you mine
If I couldnt be with you
Id just be killing time
No matter what I do
(and you know I will burn)
If I couldnt be call you mine
(like a star in the sky)
If I couldnt be with you
(all Id be doing is)
Id just be killing time
But no matter what I do
If I couldnt call you mine
If I couldnt be with you
Id just be killing time

A Story
There was a girl who couldnt speak,
Who couldnt speak her mind.
Only thing she was good at
Was telling stories of faraway lands.
There was a guy who couldnt say,
Who couldnt say what he wanted.
Only thing he was good at
Was cracking jokes to make people laugh.
So many words he swallowed,
So many thoughts she kept to herself.
And when they met they made love
And talked about the world and the weather.
So many cities he walked,
So many countries she traveled.
And in their dreams they would listen
To the sound of the sea they heard together.

A Better Man
What do you say when its over?
I dont know if I should say anything at all
One day were rollin in the clover
Next thing you know we take the fall
Still, I think about the years since I first met you
And the way it might have been without you here
And I dont know if words from me can still upset you
But Ive just gotta make this memory stand clear
I know Im leavin here a better man
For knowin you this way
Things I couldnt do before, now I think I can
And Im leavin here a better man
I guess I always knew I couldnt hold you
But Id never be the one to set you free
Just like some old nursery rhyme your mama told you
You still believe in some old meant-to-be
Repeat chorus
Still, Im leavin here a better man...

You Couldnt Be Cuter
You couldnt be cuter
Plus that
You couldnt be smarter
Plus that
Intelligent face
You have a disgrace-
Ful charm
For me
You couldnt be keener
You look so fresh from the cleaner
You are the little grand slam
Ill take to my fam-
Ily
My ma will show you an album of me thatll bore you to tears
And youll attract all the relatives we have dodged for years and years
And what will they tell me?
Exactly, what will they tell me
Lets say you couldnt be nicer
Couldnt be sweeter
Couldnt be better
Couldnt be smoother
Couldnt be cuter, baby, than you are
My ma will show you an album of me thatll bore you to tears
And youll attract all the relatives we have dodged for years and years
And what will they tell me?
I know just what they will tell me
Theyll say you couldnt be nicer
Couldnt be sweeter
Couldnt be better
Couldnt be smoother
Couldnt be cuter, baby, than you are

Get It Moving
(david smalley)
Baby, dont you know that I couldnt share you
So, if youre coming back well get things straight
Its been so long since the day you left me
I never thought that Id have to wait
Get it moving back my way
Oh, I couldnt live another day without your love
Get it moving, yeah
Said you didnt want a love that would tie you.
You needed time and would I wait.
Ive been so lost and now Ive got to tell you
I need it all, I cant be second rate.
Get it moving back my way
Oh, I couldnt live another day without your love
Get it moving back my way
I need your loving more each day
Get it moving back my way
I wont be happy till I know youll stay
Said you didnt want a love that would tie you
You needed time and would I wait
Its been so long and now Ive got to tell you
I need it all, I cant be second rate
Get it moving back my way
Oh, I couldnt live another day without your love

Thought I Couldnt Dance
Stand back, and give me room
And listen to that beat
I got the music in my soul
And the rhythm in my feet
When I hear the music,
You wont catch me standing still
And I wont miss a beat
I never have and I never will
And you thought I couldnt dance
And you thought I couldnt dance
I can dance to anything
That any band can play
Ive got old-fashioned values
But Im pretty up to date
And I know all the latest hits
On the radio
You dont have to join me
Stand back and watch my show
And you thought I couldnt dance
And you thought I couldnt dance
Thought I couldnt dance
Hey, watch me prance
Lets make romance
Thought I couldnt dance
You gotta take a chance
If youre gonna learn to dance
And you thought I couldnt dance
And you thought I couldnt dance
Theres a lot of closet dancers
Just dyin to come out
They dance alone inside their rooms
With the music way up loud
And I know you thought I couldnt dance
But I guess I sure fooled you
It just goes to show you never know
Whos wearing dancin shoes
And you thought I couldnt dance
Im full of surprises
And you thought I couldnt dance
Its too late now
I cant slow down...cant slow down
Oh, feel the heat
From these dancin feet... cant slow down
And you thought I couldnt dance
And you thought I couldnt dance
Repeat...

But it better or people will wonder
And I couldnt care less if it never stopped rainin

Chorus:
Say sour grapes
You can laugh and stare
Say sour grapes
But I dont care
I couldnt care less if I didnt have a friend
cept people would say I was crazy
And I wouldnt work cause I dont need money
But the same folks would say I was lazy

I was gonna leave her anyway
And all the good times that we shared
Dont mean a thing to day

What If We Give It Away?
On the outside underneath the wall
All the money couldnt buy
Youre mistaken no ones standing there
For the record no one tried
Oh I try to
What if we give it away?
Overlooking with a hollow eye
Whats pretending is it right
Eye for order a hand for whats in line
Couldnt follow couldnt write
And our life does fine here
Stitch it on your tie here
Heres the trailer tom
A year has come and gone
Were not moving was it right
Take the order sew it on your tie
We couldnt follow couldnt try

Your Gone
God gave me one heart
but its broken
god gave me two eyes
but i wish i couldnt see
god gave me to feet
i wish i could just leave
god gave me two hands
but i wish i couldnt feel
god gave me one brain
but i wish i couldnt think
god gave me my memories
but i wish i couldnt remeber
god gave me you
but i wish i never wouldve lost you
god took you away
and i wish you were still here
god gave me life
when i wish i didnt have it
god gave me all these things but the only one i wanted
he took away

im sorry that there is no more me and you.
im sorry that it has to be this way.
im sorry that we could fix it.
im sorry that we couldnt just be.

Say It Isnt So
Theres no santa claus
It was all a lie
No man in the moon
Just a big light in the sky
I hear disneyland
Might lose mickey mouse
In some giant hostile corporate shake-up
Tell me its a nightmare
Please wake me up
(say it isnt so)
I found a book of matches
]from someplace weve never been
How come you hang the phone up
The minute I walk in
Last night I had this dream
That I was losing you
I woke up in a cold sweat shaking
Rescue me my heart is breaking
Chorus:
Say it isnt so (tell me its not true)
Say it isnt so (I believe in you)
Tell me its a lie (I dont need no proof)
They did it all with strings say everythings alright (couldnt be, not
You)
Say it isnt so
Superman dont fly
Elvis presley died
They deep fried the king
Like some tacky cheesy bathing beauty
Dancing on the beach in a bad b-movie
Chorus 1:
Say it isnt so (tell me its not true)
Say it isnt so (I believe in you)
Tell me its a lie (I dont need no proof)
Say everythings alright (couldnt be, not you)
Chorus 2:
Say it isnt so (dont give up on me)
Say it isnt so (dont give up on you)
Get me through the night (well make it through)
Make everything alright (couldnt be, not you)
Say it isnt so..
Chorus 1:
Say it isnt so (tell me its not true)
Say it isnt so (I believe in you)
Tell me its a lie (I dont need no proof)

The Big Country
I see the shapes,
I remember from maps.
I see the shoreline.
I see the whitecaps.
A baseball diamond, nice weather down there.
I see the school and the houses where the kids are.
Places to park by the factries and buildings.
Restaunts and bar for later in the evening.
Then we come to the farmlands, and the undeveloped areas.
And I have learned how these things work together.
I see the parkway that passes through them all.
And I have learned how to look at these things and I say,
(chorus)
I wouldnt live there if you paid me.
I couldnt live like that, no siree!
I couldnt do the things the way those people do.
I couldnt live there if you paid me to.
I guess its healthy, I guess the air is clean.
I guess those people have fun with their neighbors and friends.
Look at that kitchen and all of that food.
Look at them eat it guess it tastes real good.
They grow it in the farmlands
And they take it to the stores
They put it in the car trunk
And they bring it back home
And I say ...
(chorus)
I say, I wouldnt live there if you paid me.
I couldnt live like that, no siree!
I couldnt do the things the way those people do.
I wouldnt live there if you paid me to.
Im tired of looking out the windows of the airplane
Im tired of travelling, I want to be somewhere.
Its not even worth talking
About those people down there.

Freebird
(allen collins - ronnie vanzant)
If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be travelling on, now,
cause theres too many places Ive got to see.
But, if I stayed here with you, girl,
Things just couldnt be the same.
cause Im as free as a bird now,
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I cant change.
Bye, bye, its been a sweet love.
Though this feeling I cant change.
But please dont take it badly,
cause lord knows Im to blame.
But, if I stayed here with you girl,
Things just couldnt be the same.
Cause Im as free as a bird now,
And this bird youll never change.
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I cant change.
Lord help me, I cant change.
