For Herself
(shawna harrington-burkhart, liz hengber, reba mcentire)
Uncle slim had let her know she couldnt ride that horse
He was the one that was only meant for men
She walked around till way after dark
Rode that horse with all her heart
And in the night how she rode
Chorus:
Somehow she always knew she had the strength inside
And even if she fell shed survive
In spite of all the tears she may cry
This is how she has to live her life
As hard as it may be, she has to find out for herself
Mama and daddy told her from the start he was no good
Theyd seen how he treated the other girls
She waited around till the sun went down
Slipped out of the house not makin a sound
And in the night oh how they drove
Repeat chorus:
It was fifteen years to the day he became a stranger in her eyes
In the coldest words of anger
He said without me you wont survive
Theres a suitcase in the closet she had packed six months ago
She dont leave a note thats not her style
So she waited around till way after dark
Left that man who broke her heart
Now shes gone, oh shes gone
Repeat chorus:

Shes Got A Boyfriend Now
She used to be the happiest girl I knew
I remember seeing her laugh
I remember the time she cried
When tears filled her eyes
As we sang love song by tesla
Her smile is turning upside down
Shes got a boyfriend now
[chorus:]
Shes got a boyfriend now
And its hard to see
What shes got herself into
Shes getting used to
The loneliness thats bottled up
Inside she knows
Shell stick right through the sad times
And all the bad times
Cuz its up to her to make some sense somehow
Shes got a boyfriend now
She always knew shed find the right guy
To hold her through the night
Someone shed take to meet her mom
And take her to see brittany spears
Who knows if clark kent is a superman?
Or if hes just an asshole
Leading on and on
And on and on
And on
[chorus]
Why does it always seem to be
Guys like that always get to be the one
She thinks the world of
And why does it always seem to me
That girls like that cant ever find someone
Someone like me
And its hard to know the difference between inside and out
When she asks if I can mend her broken heart
I wouldnt know where to start.
She got what she always wanted
She got what she always wanted
And now
Shes only crying on the inside

Riding The Dark Horse
Riding along on the dark horse of sadness.
Each day or night.
The dark horse is my companion.
We ride through life.
On a dark stream of light.
Riding along side is depression.
My second companion.
We ride together in search of happiness.
We never find.
Riding the dark horse through this life.
I'm filled with sorrow.
Tears are inside.
As I reflect on my journey through life.
I see that the dark horse has always been,
what I ride.
The dark horse of sorrow.
Has always been by my side.
I will continue to ride,
The dark horse in this life.
Until I die.
Exchanging the dark horse for white,
as I cross the great divide.
Entering the gates of life on the other side.
Where happiness I may finally find.
Leaving the dark horse of sorrow behind.
Taking the two companions,
sorrow and depression with me.
As I ride to the other side.
Changing their apperance to laughter and joy.
As I dismount on heaven's shore.
Filled with so much joy.
As I look back on my journey.
That I rode to heavens door.
I finally see the beauty of my companions.
That rode with me upon life's shores.
They changed before my eyes.
Becoming laughter and joy.
Beautiful spirits of love to behold.
That rode on the dark horse of life with me.
Till reaching heavens shore.

Shes On It
Theres no confusion in her conclusion
She wants to waste my time and thats no delusion
Her final decision is perfection and precision
Shes grade a class - number one in her division
(chorus) shes on it
She acts like a nag - I dont know how it started
Even when Im chillin - she acts retarded
Its gets annoying - so high on the tip
If a pirate had a def jam shirt - shed be hard on his tip
(repeat chorus)
Cold chillin in the spot - and she wont stop
Shell do whats best just to reach the top
She studies real hard - all night shell cram
In school she majors in advanced def jam
(repeat chorus)
Her bedroom eyes - they start to twitch
But she wont front cause shes got that itch
Shed drop to her knees if Id only say please
Instead of counting sheep - cold counting beasties
(repeat chorus)

Shes The One Loving You Now
(reba mcentire, david anthony, leigh reynolds)
Chorus:
Shes got what I dont
You there to lean on
I wish I could get that off of my mind
But I dont know how
Cause she dont love you
Anything like I do
But that dont mean anything
Shes the one loving you now
Well youre only bad crime
Was you used all the right lines
To make a girl like me
Feel like I was one of a kind
You had me believing
What I had you were needing
But I guess there was something missing
That you needed to find
Repeat chorus
Who says you need a reason
For getting up and leaving
Frustration sets in
Cause I know she holds you tight
I guess its human nature
To want to find a reason
Cause one good reason would make me
Sleep a little better tonight
Repeat chorus
Yeah that dont mean anything
Cause shes the one loving you now

Is There Life Out There
(susan longacre, rick giles)
She married when she was twenty
She thought she was ready
Now shes not so sure
She thought shed done some living
But now shes just wonderin
What shes living for
Now shes feeling that theres something more
Chorus:
Is there life out there
So much she hasnt done
Is there life beyond
Her family and her home
Shes done what she should
Should she do what she dares
She doesnt want to leave
Shes just wonderin
Is there life out there
Shes always lived for tomorrow
Shes never learned how
To live for today
Shes dyin to try something foolish
Do something crazy
Or just get away
Something for herself for a change
Repeat chorus
Theres a place in the sun that shes never been
Where life is fair and time is a friend
Would she do it the same as she did back then
She looks out the window and wonders again

Gone As A Girl Can Get
Well I havent seen her lately
And she never calls
She dont ask my friends about me
Gives no clues at all
That a fire might still be burnin, yeah
Id say shes about as gone as a girl can get
She dont even show up in my dreams at night
But my stubborn old memory keeps holdin on tight
Sure makes it hard to forget
Shes about as gone as a girl can get
Chorus:
Shes out of here
She disappeared without a trace
More or less unimpressed
By the tears on my face
Destination unknown
She just dropped out of sight
Last seen headin right on out of my life
Like a stranger I aint never met
Shes about as gone as a girl can get
Repeat chorus
Like a stranger I aint never met
Well Id say shes about as gone as a girl can get

Tonight The Heartaches On Me
You couldve heard a pin drop
When they walked through the door
Had to turn my eyes away
My heart fell to the floor
Someone whispered, wheres her halo?
Cause she had an angels face
He stood there smiling, holding on
To the one who took my place
So...
Chorus:
Tonight the heartaches on me, on me
Lets drink a toast to the fool who couldnt see
Bartender pour the wine, cause the hurtins all mine
Tonight the heartaches on me
I wonder if he told her
Shes the best hes ever known
The way he told me evry night
When we were all alone
Shell find out when the new wears off
Hell find somebody new
Shell learn what heartaches all about
And what Im going through
But...
Repeat chorus
But...

Yes tonight, the heartaches on me
Oh lovers like you and me will never say die

Hard Way
Im moving in
Shes moving out to los angeles
Shes got a truck; shes got my stuff
Packed into it
Just seven months
Was just enough
Of putting up with me
Imagine that
A baseball bat upside her tv
She says she needs some therapy
[chorus:]
You know it seemed so simple before
She could have asked
I would have given her anything
And now its 1, 2, 3
Blame it all on me
And I had to find it out the hard way
She calls me up
Shes breaking down
In los angeles
She misses home
Shes all alone
She cant handle it
But seven months was just enough
Of putting up with her
Youre brand new nose & bigger boobs
Dont change a thing
You need some therapy
I think you need some help
[chorus]
Shes got a lot to figure out
Shes got a lot to think about
Shes got a lot to forget about
Shes got a lot to live without
So many things to miss about me

Just Looking For Him
(sunny russ)
She can concentrate on workin
Until her work is done
She can hold a conversation
As well as anyone
Shell fool you with sincerity
And if you didnt know her well
You would never see it
You could never tell
Chorus:
Shes just looking for him
Shes only rememberin
She might look like shes ready
To fall in love again
But shes just looking for him
She keeps one eye on the road
And one on the other lane
Lookin for his car
His memorys re-played
She searches other faces
Tryin to find that spark
But no one new can reach her
Or fill her hollow heart

Oh youd better keep your distance
Dont let her reel you in
Shes not quite herself now
How could she be when

Rodeo Or Mexico
For a change
I headed south
Across the border
For the pesos and
A different horse to ride
Id be back to make
The rodeo in waco
But that was long
Before I saw them
Dark brown eyes
With long black hair and
English bad and broken
Her body said the words
She couldnt find
As I hung on every word
She left unspoken
The question started
Leaning on my mind
[chorus:]
Rodeo or mexico
They both can keep
A cowboy satisfied
Rodeo or mexico
The only way
I know how to decide
Is just to get on and ride
We danced all night
Beneath that sheet of cotton
And you just dont
Tell a girl like that goodbye
But the cowboy life
Aint easily forgotten
Though lying there
I couldnt help
But wonder why
[repeat chorus]
The morning
Found the answer
Dawning on me
As I woke up to the
Sharp end of a knife
He was screaming at
The woman hanging on me
Does anybody know the
Spanish word for wife?

Daddy's Moonshine Still
Folks say my daddy wasn't much of a man
For disobeying the laws of the land
Folks say that my daddy wasn't fit to kill
Oh and I know it was true what the people said
Cause we'd all've been better of dead
Than to live a life of shame and strife
Cause of daddy's moonshine still
My mama was always sweet and kind
But she grew old before her time
Worryin' about the way we had to live
Yeah my daddy put the wrinkles in my mama's face
He drunk his share of all he made
And just one more reason I grew to hate
My daddy's moonshine still
Chorus:
Daddy's moonshine still was good for nothin'
But to break mama's heart
And to tear our home apart
Make our lives a livin' hell
Them old mason jars that daddy made us wash
And set them out to sun on our back porch
'Til he got ready to take 'em up on the hill
And when daddy got word of the revenue
He made us kids help hide his brew
Made us swear that we never knew
About daddy's moonshine still
Yeah and two of my brothers drove across the state line
Once a week with a load of moonshine
And the wounds that came from that won't ever heal
Cause on a moonshine run one rainy night
My two brothers lost their lives
And oh my god how I despise
My daddy's moonshine still
Repeat Chorus
Well it broke mama's heart but she understood
The day that I left home for good
But I had to find me another way to live
Well I sent mama money nearly every day
And how I made it, well I'd rather not say
But at least it took me far away
From daddy's moonshine still
My bootlegging daddy was known quite well
And he made our home a livin' hell
And I ain't forgot it and I know that I never will
My mama finally died she just gave up
And daddy finally died from drinkin' that stuff
And bad memories haunt the rest of us
From daddy's moonshine still

Bobby
(reba mcentire, don schlitz)
Bobby pleaded guilty to the charges that they read
As they led him from the courtroom, a young voice turned his head
A little boy, dressed in blue, was standing at the rail
He said I hope they kill you, I hope you go to hell
They put bobby in a jail with forty other men
They all knew what he had done, they were glad to take him in
Theyd all seen the headlines about bobby and his wife
How they loved each other, and how he took her life
Day after day, he sat alone
Night after night, theyd hear him sing his song (hed sing)
Chorus:
Baby, Ill take care of you, Ill never let you down
No harm will ever come to you as long as Im around
I am not afraid of what people say or do
The only thing I fear is being here...without you
The little boy dressed up in blue grew up to be a man
When he fell in love himself, he came to understand
How it was that bobby took the life they both adored
Cause bobby couldnt stand to see her suffer anymore
He took out the papers from the trunk beneath his bed
And all the years just disappeared as through his tears he read
The stories of the accident that robbed his mamas mind
And the man who held her in his arms and chose to cut the line
And the one about the man who sits alone
Year after year, singing his song (hed sing)
Repeat chorus:
The young man drove his car up, and parked outside the gate
They led him to a cold gray room, the guard told him to wait
When the gaurd brought bobby in, the young man finally knew
He still missed his mama, but hed missed his daddy too
And when the guard left the two of them alone
He took bobby in his arms, and the young man sang the song
Daddy, Ill take care of you, Ill never let you down
No harm will ever come to you as long as Im around
You have taught me not to fear what people say or do
The only thing I fear is being here...without you

Was It Something Didn't Say
Spending another night alone
Wondering when I\'m gonna ever see you again
Thinking what I would give to get you back baby
I should have told you how I felt then
Instead I kept it to myself, yeah
I let my love go unexpressed
\'Till it was too late
You walked away
CHORUS:
Was it some thing I didn\'t say
When I didn\'t say "I love you"
Was it words that you never heard
all those words I should have to you
All those times, all those nights when I had the chance to
Was it something I did\'t say
(I did\'t say,Baby..I did\'t say)
Always assumed that you\'d be there
Could\'t forsee the day you\'d ever be leaving me
How could I let my world slip through my hands baby
I took for granted that you knew, yeah
All of the love I had for you, yeah
I guess you never had a clue
\'Till it was too late
You walked away
REPEAT CHORUS
All the words were in my heart
They went unspoken
Baby now my silent heart is a heart that\'s broken
I shoulda said so many things
Shoulda let you know you\'re the one I needed near me
But I never let you hear me

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

Daddys Song
I got a day without nothing to do
And a do not disturb on my door
I sorta looked for some mess that shed made
Or her sweet little socks on the floor
But all that she left here was too many rooms
And just enough silence to break
And I cant look at her picture right now
Times about all I can take.
Last night I sewed up her toys that were torn
And packed her suitcase again
She looked so sweet as she lay there asleep
Smiling and holding my hand
We didnt talk all the way to the plane
But shes too big now to cry
Then when I kissed her, she held me so tight
I couldnt tell her goodbye.
Chorus:
She said, I wish that we lived together again
It gets so lonesome apart
Im missing somebody all of the time
Daddy, its breaking my heart
Its not so bad out here living alone
Comforts a stranger away
And theres a freedom you find on your own
Thats nearly worth what you pay
Its just a shame she still wants us to be
All that we seemed to before
But we cant blame her for making believe
Something we dont anymore.
Chorus:
She said, I wish that we lived together again
It gets so lonesome apart
Im missing somebody all of the time
Daddy, its breaking my heart

The Storm
More info about this song in the song database
She sits among the pieces of broken glass and photographs
Reluctantly releases the last of what was her past
It struck without a warning or did she just ignore the signs
In those dark clouds forming behind her silver lines
Chorus:
The door it slammed like thunder and the tears they fell like rain
And the warnings from her family whirl like a hurricane
Shes drowning in emotions and she cannot reach the shore
Shes alive but can she survive the storm
A broken jewel box dancer lies in pieces down the hall
Shes finding out the answers dont change nothing at all
Its time that she stopped searching for whos to blame or what went wrong
The only thing for certain is hes gone, shes got to move on
Repeat chorus
Someday days just roll on by without a gray cloud in the sky
She keeps telling herself, I will make it on my own
And her friends theyve all gone back to their lives
Thinking she will be all right
As she races through the night to make it home

The Camels Heart
You come to me with teardrops in your eyes
Expecting me to listen to your lies
You want me to forget and to forgive
Enough, enough, this aint no way to live

After all the hurt Ive put up with
This is the last time, this is the last straw
Too late, too late now its your time to crawl

Shes just the straw that broke the camels heart
Its not her fault, its yours we fell apart
No more, Im done, I want a brand new start
