James Otto : Never Say Goodbye Lyrics

Your bags are packed
And your cab's out back
Guess it's too late to change your mind
But before you leave
Do one thing for me
Just turn around
And look me in the eyes

(Chorus:)
And say you'll love me
But you need a little time
Make me believe that
You're still mine
Tell me anything
Even if it's just a lie
But never, never, never say goodbye

Baby, please
I'm on my knees
I'm begging you not
To close that door
'Cause I can't live without you
'Cause everything about you
Makes my life worth living for

So, say you'll love me
But you need a little time
Make me believe that
You're still mine
Tell me anything
Even if it's just a lie
But never, never, never say goodbye
Yeah...

Ooh, so say you'll love me
But you need a little time, just a little time
Make me believe
That you're still mine
Tell me anything
Even if it's just a lie
But never, never, never
Never, never
Say goodbye
Yeah...

Kellie Pickler : Rocks Instead of Rice Lyrics

Long, white limousine pulls up to a church
The sick part of me wishes it was a hearse
I didn't get an invitation but I'm here anyway
And I don't care if I'm crashing their big day

Well, it might not be too Christian of me
And it might not be too nice
But I wish we were all just standing around
Throwing rocks instead of rice

Long, white dress
This must be some kind of joke
Virgin? Please! She ain't fooling these folks
If the three of us were on Jerry Springer
I'd be pulling her hair
And I'd kick that lying sack of shoulda known better
You know where
[ Kellie Pickler Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]

Well, it might not be too Christian of me
And it might not be too nice
But I wish we were all just standing around
Throwing rocks instead of rice

Well, the vows that they just made sound sweet and sincere
Place your bets, my money's on less than a year

Well, it might not be too Christian of me
And it might not be too nice
But I wish we were all just standing around
Throwing rocks instead of rice

Yeah, I wish we were all just standing around
Throwing rocks instead of rice

Brad Paisley - Start a Band Lyrics

I never was a straight-lace, straight A student
teacher’s pet or child prodigy
I wasn’t gonna get rich throwin’ a football
It take too long to get a law degree

So I sat down with momma and daddy
tried to talk some sense into my big head
But the best advice that I ever got
was from my sister’s rock star boyfriend

Just get you a guitar and learn how to play
Cut up some jeans, come up with a name
When you’re living in a world that you dont understand
Find a few good buddies, start a band
Start a band, Start a band

And all those girls that were too cool to talk to,
They’ll be waiting in the line out back
Might get your picture in the hometown paper
Maybe buy your momma that Cadillac


Just get you a guitar and learn how to play
Cut up some jeans, come up with a name
When you’re living in a world that you don’t understand
Find a few good buddies, start a band

Start a band, Scrape up some money, buy a van
Learn free bird and ramblin’ man
Never buy another beer again

Guitar

Just get you a guitar and learn how to play
Grow out your hair, come up with a name
With a little bit of luck you’ll be packing the stands
Find a few good buddies, start a band

No need to study, start a band
Call up some buddies man, start a band

Jason Aldean: Hicktown Lyrics

Oh, you like the way that sounds?

Little Jimmy Jackson is jackin' up his Bronco.
He's gonna lay a little rubber later on at the truck pull.
An' all the girls are getting' pretty... they're sprayin' on the White Rain.
Yeah, they're gonna get a rowdy tonight down at the football game.

Yeah, we let it rip when we got the money...
Let it roll if we got the gas.
It gets wild, yeah, but that's the way we get down,
In a Hicktown.

Well, you can see the neighbors butt crack nailing on his shingles,
An' his woman's' smokin' Pall Mall's watchin' Laura Ingalls.
An' Granny's getting' lit, she's headin' out to bingo.
Yeah, my buddies an' me are goin' muddin' down on Blue Hole Road.

You know, you know, we let it rip when we got the money...
Let it roll if we got the gas.
It gets wild, yeah, but that's the way we get down,
In a Hicktown.

[Instrumental Break]
(Oh, stand on it.)

We hear folks in the city party in Martini Bars,
An' they like to show off in their fancy foreign cars.
Out here in the boondocks we buy beer at Amoco,
An' crank our Kraco speakers with that country radio.

We let it rip when we got the money...
Let it roll if we got the gas.
It gets wild, yeah, but that's the way we get down.

Oh, oh we let it rip when we got the money...
Let it roll if we got the gas.
It's buck wild, yeah, but that's the way we get down,
In a Hicktown.
In a Hicktown.
That's the way we get down in a Hicktown.
In Hicktown, yeah, in Hicktown.

Got your country boys and your redneck girls
It's the party heard round the world
Right here in Hicktown
In Hicktown
The whole town's getting down
In Hicktown
Yeah, in Hicktown

Rascal Flatts: From Time to Time Lyrics

From time to time I have regrets
For all the things I didn't say
That were on my list
From time to time my memory slips
But you're the one thing in my life
I won't forget

[Chorus]
There'll never be a minute of the day
I won't think of you
My feelings are so strong in me
I feel it through and through
There'll never be a night that's so dark that we won't shine
Or a dream that we've lost that we can't find
You'll always be, oh the one for me
I think of you from time to time
And in between

[Instrumental]

[Repeat Chorus]

You'll always be, oh the one for me
I think of you from time to time
And in between
oooo yeah

You'll always be, oh the one for me
From time to time
And in between yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah I do
I think of you from time to time
And in between, yeah

Alan Jackson: Job Description Lyrics

Well i know sometimes you find it hard
To understand just what we do out here
Well that bus rolls up at home
And i just disappear

And i sure don't like to leave you
Couldn't stand for you to think that i don't care
So i wrote this job description
Just to tell you what i do when i'm not there

I sleep eighty miles an hour
To the whining of a diesel down the interstate
Dreamin' 'bout my little girls
The easy chair that sits beside the fireplace
Then we shut her down in another town
Shower up and do just what we came to do
Sing for the people
Count the money and the miles back home to you

Well each night i take the stage
With a six-piece band and a guitar in my hand
Singin' songs about my life
All the good times and the bad

Then we say goodbye and we load it up
And head somewhere i've already been
Then i lay down in that double bed alone
And i thank the lord again

I sleep eighty miles an hour
To the whining of a diesel down the interstate
Dreamin' 'bout my little girls
The easy chair that sits beside the fireplace
Then we shut her down in another town
Shower up and do just what we came to do
Sing for the people
Count the money and the miles back home to you

Well i just sing for the people
Count the money and the miles back home to you

Rodney Atkins: It's America Lyrics

Drivin' down the street today
Saw the sign for lemonade
They were the cutest kids
I've seen in this front yard

As they handed me my glass
Smiled and thinkin' to myself
Man what a picture perfect postcard this would make
Of america

It's a high school prom
It's a springstein song
It's a ride in a cheverlet
It's a man on the moon
And fireflies in June
Kids sellin lemonade
It's cities and farms
And open arms
One nation under god
It's america

Later on when I got home
I flipped the t.v on
I saw a little town that some big
Twister tore apart
People came from miles around
Just to help their neighbors out
And I was thinkin' to my self
I'm so glad that I live in america

It's a high school prom
It's a springstein song
It's a ride in a cheverlet
It's a man on the moon
And fireflies in June
Kids sellin lemonade
It's cities and farms
And open arms
One nation under god
It's america

Now we might not always get it right
But there's nowhere else I rather build my life

Cause it's a kid with a chance
It's a rock n roll band
It's a farmer cuttin' hay

It's a flag blowin' in the summer wind
Over some fallen hero's grave.

It's a high school prom
It's a springstein song
It's a welcome home parade
It's a man on the moon
And fireflies in June
Kids sellin lemonade
It's cities and farms
And open arms
One nation under god
It's america
It's a welcome home parade

Brooks & Dunn: Building Bridges Lyrics

Since you've gone, my heart said something's wrong.
How long can this keep goin' on?
I'm still blue over losin' you.
What else am I gonna do?

I'm buildin' bridges straight to your heart,
An' all of this distance won't keep us apart,
Won't keep us apart.

Talk to me, talk to me about sympathy.
Don't leave me beggin' on my knees.
Since you've gone, my heart says something's wrong.
How long can this keep goin' on?

I'm buildin' bridges straight to your heart,
And all of this distance won't keep us apart,
Won't keep us apart.

[Instrumental Break]

I'm buildin' bridges straight to your heart,
And all of this distance won't keep us apart,
Won't keep us apart.

I'm buildin' bridges, (I'm buildin' bridges.)
Straight to your heart,
And all of this distance won't keep us apart,
Won't keep us apart.

(I'm buildin' bridges.)
Straight to your heart.
Whoa, I,
Whoa I, I'm buildin' bridges,
Straight to your heart.

[Instrumental fade]

Josh Turner: Tears Of God Lyrics

Some had on the Rebel grey, Some the Union blue,
They were fathers sons and brothers, men like me and you.
Engaged in heavy battle, till there came that cloudy draw,
When silence took the battlefield men just stood in awe.

Some say it was the cannon smoke some say the Northern lines,
That cast a ghostly image over Fredericksburg that night,
Some say it was God's spirit lookin' o'er the bloody sod,
but that rainbow mist that filled the sky, was the tears of God.

Both sides read his Holy Word and believed it in thier hearts,
But the common ground He'd blessed them with had now been torn apart.
Covered by the blood they shed so many lost their lives,
The fight on that Virginia hill was enough to make Him cry.

Some say it was the cannon smoke some say the Northern lines,
That cast a ghostly image over Fredericksburg that night,
Some say it was God's spirit looking o'er the bloody sod,
But the rainbow mist that filled the sky, was the tears of God.

Some say it was the cannon smoke some say the Northern lines,
that cast a ghostly image over Fredericksburg that night,
Some say it was God's spirit lookin o'er the bloody sod,
But the Rainbow mist that filled the sky, was the tears of God.

Heartland: No Getting Over Me Lyrics

(Originally by: Ronnie Milsap)

Well, you can walk out on me tonight
If you think that it ain't feeling right
But darling, there ain't no getting over me

You can say that you need to be free
But there ain't no place that I won't be
Sweet darling, there ain't no getting over me

I'll be the bill you forgot to pay
I'll be the dream that keeps you awake
I'll be the song on the radio
I'll be the reason that you tell the boys, no

Don't you know

You can tell everyone that we're through
You might even believe it too
But darling, there ain't no getting over me
Sweet darling, there ain't no getting over me

---- Instrumental Interlude ----

I'll be the face that you see a the crowd
I'll be the times that you cry out loud
I'll be the smile when there's no one around
I'll be the book that you just can't put down

So you can walk out on me tonight
If you think that it ain't feeling right
But darling, here ain't no getting over me
You'll see, sweet darling
There's ain't no getting over me
Noooo, darling
There ain't no getting over me

Noooooo, over me

Martina Mcbride: Concrete Angel Lyrics

She walks to school with the lunch she packed
Nobody knows what she's holding back
Wearing the same dress she wore yesterday
She hides the bruises with the linen and lace, oh

The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask
It's hard to see the pain behind the mask
Bearing the burden of a secret storm
Sometimes she wishes she was never born

Through the wind and the rain she stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can't rise above
But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place
Where she's loved concrete angel

Somebody cries in the middle of the night
The neighbors hear but they turn out the light
A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate
When morning comes it will be too late

Through the wind and the rain she stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can't rise above
But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place
Where she's loved concrete angel

A statue stands in a shaded place
An angel girl with an upturned face
A name is written on a polished rock
A broken heart that the world forgot

Through the wind and the rain she stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can't rise above
But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place
Where she's loved concrete angel

Jack Ingram: Make A Wish (Coming Home Again) Lyrics

Stare out at the horizon
Start the car and call the road your friend
Tell the girls and the Lord above
You'll think fondly and call back now and then

Head out of the city
Go find what they brought you down here for
Take that shiny penny
That daddy gave you from the day that you were born and

CHORUS
Make a wish that dreams come true
Go on sail the ocean blue
Ride a highway like the wind
Drink the good times down like sin
Go on, take that car
And drive so far
It looks like you're comin' home again

Stare up at the moonlight
And threaten every star it won't be long
You tell'em this is the very last night
I look to you to make sense of it all

Then head into the city
Electric lights that shine from dusk till dawn
Take that rusty penny
Throw it in the air and then move along and

CHORUS
Make a wish that dreams come true
Go on sail the ocean blue
Ride a highway like the wind
Drink the good times down like sin
Go on, take that car
And drive so far
It looks like you're comin' home again

You can't go back but you can't come back 'round
Let the world know as you roll through town

CHORUS
Make a wish that dreams come true
Go on sail the ocean blue
Ride a highway like the wind
Drink the good times down like sin
Go on, take that car
And drive so far
It looks like you're comin' home again

Yeah take that car
And drive so far
It looks like you're comin' home again

Alan Jackson: 1976 Lyrics

Rocky burned up the movie screen and I was turnin' seventeen
Tie-dyed shirts and Levis jean, lookin' cool at the Dairy Queen
Tryin to impress a young woman in her Sunday dress

And that was 1976, didn't know who I was yet
A pretty little blonde haired girl stole my heart and changed my world
Two kids and a moonlit sky, a little love on a Friday night
Built a fire that just wont quit, that was 1976

My high school days I packed away, set my sights on a bigger stage
Jimmy Carter moved to DC, a Georgia boy just like me, life seemed easy
Nothin' much that we needed

That was 1976, didn't know who I was yet
A pretty little blonde haired girl stole my heart and changed my world
Two kids and a moonlit sky, a little love on a Friday night
Built a fire that just wont quit, that was 1976

[Instrumental Interlude]

Eight track tapes were still in style and Elvis was still alive
Wonder Woman sure looked fine, Bionic Man was still Prime Time
And that girl I liked, we kept on tryin' till we got it right

And that was 1976, didn't know who I was yet
A pretty little blonde haired girl stole my heart and changed my world
Two kids and a moonlit sky, a little love on a Friday night
Built a fire that just wont quit, that was 1976

Yeah, that was 1976, didn't know who we were yet
Built a fire that just wont quit and that was 1976

We built a fire that just wont quit, that was 1976

Hank Williams: Hey Good Lookin' Lyrics

Hey, hey, good lookin',
Whatcha got cookin'?
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me?
Hey, sweet baby,
Don't you think maybe
We could find us a brand new recipe?
I got a hot-rod Ford and a two-dollar bill
And I know a spot right over the hill.
There's soda pop and the dancin's free,
So if you wanna have fun come along with me.
Hey, good lookin',
Whatcha got cookin'?
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me?

I'm free and ready,
So we can go steady.
How's about savin' all your time for me?
No more lookin',
I know I've been tooken [sic].
How's about keepin' steady company?

I'm gonna throw my date-book over the fence
And find me one for five or ten cents.
I'll keep it 'til it's covered with age
'Cause I'm writin' your name down on every page.
Hey, good lookin',
Whatcha got cookin'?
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me?

Trace Adkins: One of Those Nights Lyrics

Have you ever had
One of those days
When you wake up feelin' good
So good that you could the the whole world on
One of those days
When you just know
No matter what
Nothin' in the world could go wrong
Well thats the way i feel this mornin'
But, baby i just gotta say
I always have one of those days

[Chorus:]
After one of those nights
Just like last night
Oh my, what a beautiful thing
Just you and me
those tangled sheets
Were wrapped around us
Baby, thanks to your love
It was one of those nights that leads
Tright to one of those days that leads
Right to one of those nights

Have you ever had
One of those smiles
You just cant wipe away
The sweet anticipations too strong
One of those smiles you wear all day
'Cause you can taste the kiss of passion waitin' back home
Well that's the one I'm wearing right now
But baby you always leave
One of those smiles on me

[Repeat chorus]

When everything's perfect
When you want me
You touch me
You move me

[repeat chorus]

Right...
One of those nights that leads
To one of those days that leads
Right to one of those nights
One of those nights
When everything's perfect
One of those nights
Oh, one of those nights
I need another one of those nights baby
Another one of those nights

Stephen Stills: Four Days Gone Lyrics

I met two kind people on the road
I was parched and dry from the cold
I've been travelling four days and nights, sir
and I do want to thank you for the ride
and the soup your wife made tasted fine
if it's all the same, I'll be on my way at the next turn
and I’m three miles shy of my town

And my baby is waiting, I hope, sir
After fifteen trucks and an old Ford
and the government madness... I ran away
and I hate to say, I can't tell you my name
'cause I'm four days gone into running

I can't even go home
Take my baby and run
I got good reason to live
I got the things I can give

And I'm four days gone into running

John Denver: This Old Guitar Lyrics

This old guitar taught me to sing a love song
it showed me how to laugh and how to cry.
It introduced me to some friends of mine
and brightened up some days
and helped me make it thru some lonely nights. Oh
What a friend to have on a cold and lonely night

This old guitar gave me my lovely lady
it opened up her eyes and ears to me
it brought us close together
and I guess it broke her heart
it opened up the space for us to be
What a lovely place and a lovely space to be.

This old guitar gave me my life my living
all the things you know I love to do
to serenade the stars that shine
from a sunny mountainside
and most of all to sing my songs for you
I love to sing my songs for you.
Yes I do, you know
I love to sing my songs for you

Willie Nelson: Blame It On The Times Lyrics

As you sit there in your loneliness,
Confused as you must be.
I'm sure a dozen questions come to mind.
And if you're wondering why I left you,
After all you've done for me,
I guess you'll have to blame it on the times.

The many times you had your way,
No matter what the cost.
And the many times you took for granted,
Love you now have lost.
And if I've hurt you, darlin',
I don't mean to be unkind.
I guess you'll have to blame it on the times.

Instrumental bridge.

That small conceited world of yours,
Could never understand,
That to want to stand alone is not a crime.
And, if for one time in my life,
I'm acting like a man,
I guess you'll have to blame it on the times.

Blame it on the many times,
A hiding place I'd seek.
Afraid to say what's on my mind,
An' ashamed for being weak.
So if at last I'm seeing,
After so long being blind,
I suppose you'll have to blame it on the times.

Kenny Chesney: Don't Blink Lyrics

I turned on the evening news
Saw an old man being interviewed
Turning a hundred and two today
Asked him what's the secret to life
He looked up from his old pipe
Laughed and said "All I can say is."

Don't blink
Just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you
Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don't blink
You just might miss your babies growing like mine did
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your better half
Of fifty years is there in bed
And you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think
So don't blink

I was glued to my tv and it looked like he looked at me and said
"Best start putting first things first."
Cause when your hourglass runs out of sand
You can't flip over and start again
Take every breathe God gives you for what it's worth

Don't Blink
Just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you
Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don't blink
You just might miss your babies growing like mine did
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your better half
Of fifty years is there in bed
And you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think
So don't blink

I've been tryin slow it down
I've been tryin take it in
In this here today gone tomorrow world we're livin' in

Don't blink
Just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you
Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don't blink
You just might miss your babies growing like mine did
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your better half
Of fifty years is there in bed
And you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think
Don't blink

Naw, don't blink

Blitzen Trapper: Sleepytime In The Western Wood Lyrics

Your eyelids are made of lead
You can't keep them open
Cause its sleepytime
And that's no crime in the western world
Cause when the sun goes down
You’re bound to follow through
Sleeping through the afternoon
I just can't seem to leave my room
Waiting for the moon and a love so true
It's gonna see me through
You know it's gonna see me through

Cause when the sun goes down
It’s gonna make that dream come true
Sleeping through the afternoon
I just can’t seem to leave my room
Waiting for the moon and a love so true
It’s gonna see me through
You know it’s gonna see me through

Drifting down the sleepy river
Waking like a child
Never gonna know what the spirit said
Unless you drift down for a while
Never gonna know what the wind is whispering now
Never gonna know unless you leave this world somehow
Unless you leave this world somehow

I woke up on the street
So apprehensive, feeling weak
And as I finally tried to speak
Twelve birds flew straightways from my mouth

I circled high above the sky
Began to cry with piercing sounds
A crowd gathered on the ground
All speaking strangely through their teeth

I felt alone and in my crib
I spoke once more into the wind
A storm of birds contained therein
Began to spin, to spin

Your eyelids are made of lead
You can’t keep them open
Cause it’s sleepy time
And that’s no crime in the western world
Cause when the sun goes down
You’re bound to follow through
Sleeping through the afternoon
I just can’t seem to leave my room
When I fall in love with a love so true
It’s gonna see me through
You know it’s gonna see me through
