Lyrics

  • 1. Goin' Under Gettin' Over You

    I woke up in the front yard
    In the back seat of a Buick
    With the lights and the radio on
    I stumbled 'cross the grass
    To the front porch through the door
    Of a house that once was our home
    If love once lived here you can't tell it
    If I could just let go I'd sell it
    Oh, I'm goin' under gettin' over you

    Made my way down the hall
    Through the boxes to the bed
    Where I used to hold you all night long
    Your perfume on the pillow
    Where you once laid your head
    Stays there to remind me you're gone
    It's gonna tear me apart if I let it
    I should just move on and forget it
    But, I'm goin' under gettin' over you

    The days are long and the nights are tough
    All alone it's just too much
    I'm not handlin' well what I'm goin' through
    The whiskey ain't strong enough
    My hearts down to givin' up
    I'm down to my last cigarette too
    Oh, I'm goin' under gettin' over you

  • 2. Missing You

    Everytime I think of you
    I always catch my breath
    And I'm still standing here and your miles away
    And I'm wondering why you left
    And there's a storm that's raging
    Through my frozen heart tonight

    I hear your name in certain circles
    And it always makes me smile
    I spend my time thinking about you
    And it's almost driving me wild
    And there's a heart that's breaking
    Down this long distance line tonight

    I ain't missing you
    Since you've been gone...away
    I ain't missing you
    No matter what I might say

    There's a message in the wire and I'm sending you this signal tonight
    You don't know how desperate I've become
    And it looks like I'm losing this fight
    In your world I have no meaning
    I try so hard to understand
    And it's my heart that's breaking
    Down this long distance line tonight

    I ain't missing you
    Since you've been gone...away
    I ain't missing you
    No matter what my friends say

    There's a message that I'm sending out
    Like a telegraph to your soul
    And if I can't bridge this distance
    Stop this heartbreak overload

    I ain't missing you
    Since you've been gone...away
    I ain't missing you
    No mater what my friends say
    I ain't missing you
    I ain't missing you

  • 3. Temptation

    Yeah I've been hurt and I've been blue
    And I've been thinkin' 'bout the changes love has put me through
    I've told myself it's got to end
    I've had enough and I ain't goin' back again
    I've watched 'em come
    I've watched 'em go
    Six, seven, eight and I can still say no
    And then tonight you came along
    Only a fool would wanna be that strong

    Temptation #9
    Make a man wanna cross that line
    Face to face with a chance like this
    There's only so much that a man can resist

    I walked alone, I played it safe
    Tryin' not to count the times I walked away
    'Cause when you love and love goes wrong
    A broken heart just seems too much to gamble on
    I first saw you, I had to think
    Oh another pretty woman just what I don't need
    But when I look into your eyes
    Hey I see somethin' makes me wanna roll the dice

    Temptation #9
    Make a man wanna cross that line
    Face to face with a chance like this
    There's only so much that a man can resist

    Ooh you got it shakin'
    Ooh there's no mistakin'
    You're the next trip that I'll be takin'

  • 4. Hurt Train

    Ridin' on a hurt train
    Making tracks
    Ridin' on a hurt train
    Ain't no turnin' back
    I'm out here on a hurt train
    The moanin' of the rails
    Seems like a sad song
    Last call farewell

    A hundred tons of cold steel
    Rustin' in the rain
    The singin' of the rollin' wheels
    Are callin' out her name
    That whistle keeps blowin'
    That high lonesome sound
    It tells me where I'm goin'
    Is gonna be a long way down

    Ridin' on a hurt train
    Making tracks
    Ridin' on a hurt train
    Ain't no turnin' back
    I'm out here on a hurt train
    The moanin' of the rails
    Seems like a sad song
    Last call farewell

    Now here I sit loaded
    Wondering what went wrong
    The whiskey I can hold it
    I just don't know how long
    I'm out here on a hurt train

    A hundred tons of cold steel
    Rustin' in the rain
    The singin' of the rollin' wheels
    Are callin' out her name

    Ridin' on a hurt train
    Making tracks
    Ridin' on a hurt train
    Ain't no turnin' back
    I'm out here on a hurt train
    The moanin' of the rails
    Seems like a sad song
    Last call farewell

    Ain't no turnin' back

  • 5. Can't Stop My Heart

    Sittin' in my world alone
    I catch myself reachin' for the phone
    Gotta get outta here and find a place to get my head clear
    I make a wrong turn down your road
    And how I got here, I'm afraid I know
    A part of me keeps going too far
    I can't stop my heart

    Yeah it feels what it wants to feel
    And it does what it wants to do
    I tell it no, then before I know it
    It's a right back to lovin' you
    I can't stop my heart before it's through
    It's gonna break itself in two
    I can't stop my heart

    I do my best to leave the past
    But I can't keep my heart from going back
    What am I gonna do, it just remembers what it wants to
    And once it lets your memory in
    I let myself get swept away again and again
    I know it's always tearing me apart
    I can't stop, stop my heart

    Yeah it feels what it wants to feel
    And it does what it wants to do
    I tell it no, then before I know it
    It's a right back to lovin' you
    I can't stop my heart before it's through
    It's gonna break itself in two
    I can't stop my heart

  • 6. Too Far This Time

    She said,
    Out with the boys don't cut it no more
    And "I'm sorry" is just noise, she's heard it all before
    Said that ring on her finger, well it feels like prison
    She's talked 'til she's blue, and I don't listen

    I went too far this time,
    Crossed over that line,
    I'm past the point of no return
    Livin' proof some fools never learn
    Well I pushed my luck, now she's givin' up
    Somethin' tells me I went too far this time

    She said,
    Save your breath boy, I've heard it all,
    And keep your place there with your back to the wall,
    Said I'm leavin' you lonely 'cause I've had my share
    Save those worn out "I love you's" for someone that cares

    I went too far this time,
    Crossed over that line,
    I'm past the point of no return
    Livin' proof some fools never learn
    Well I pushed my luck, now she's givin' up
    Somethin' tells me I went too far this time

    Well I pushed my luck, now she's givin' up
    Somethin' tells me I went too far this time
    Oh somethin' tells me, I went too far this time

  • 7. You'll Always Be Loved By Me

    I know forever is a long long time
    For a girl to put her heart on the line
    Trust is a tight rope we all have to walk
    Baby don't be afraid I won't let you fall
    With a little faith mountains move
    You and me we can't lose

    You can count on the sun to rise
    And stars to come out at night
    As long as there's air to breathe
    You'll always be loved by me

    Love comes so many times goes
    So much out there we'll never know
    Call it fate call it destiny
    But I think we were meant to be
    This old world it spins so fast
    So many times they just don't last

    You can count on the sun to rise
    And stars to come out at night
    As long as there's air to breathe
    You'll always be loved by me

    You can count on the sun to rise
    And stars to come out at night
    As long as there's air to breathe
    You'll always be loved by me

    You'll always be loved by me

  • 8. I Love You More

    You've stood too long with your tears in the doorway
    I guess I've run out of the right things to say
    You've made up your mind that he'll make you happy
    I don't have the heart to stand in your way
    Maybe tonight you think you're in love
    But baby tomorrow when you wake up

    Just remember when he looks at you
    He don't see what I see
    That little girl smile, that woman in your eyes
    That always got to me
    Just remember when you turn down the lights
    Who you're really reachin' for
    Yeah he can tell you he loves you but I love you more

    I was the one that told you he loved you
    You were afraid you couldn't be loved
    I was the one who you could believe
    Would never leave when times got tough
    I'll never say I told you so
    But take this with you when you go

    Just remember when he looks at you
    He don't see what I see
    That little girl smile, that woman in your eyes
    That always got to me
    Just remember when you turn down the lights
    Who you're really reachin' for
    Yeah he can tell you he loves you but I love you more

    Yeah he can tell you he loves you
    But I love you more
    Oh he can tell you he loves you
    But I love you more

  • 9. Beer Thirty

    I got a six pack, got a single stem rose
    My baby's dressed up she's raring to go
    I got a Jones for the moon and the jukebox
    I like to two step she likes to rock
    That clock on the wall it rings, it chimes
    It's beer thirty, a honky tonk time

    Life's too short, let's get to livin' it
    Let's give it all we can give it

    The party starts here get in line
    Beer thirty a honky tonk time

    I put in my four day
    I'm going home
    Lord my get-up has got up and gone
    Got my paycheck I'm on my way
    It's finally Friday my kind of day
    I punch the clock, I hit the road flying
    It's beer thirty, a honky tonk time

    Yeah life's too short, let's get to livin' it
    Let's give it all we can give it
    Let your hair down, turn the music up
    We gonna paint the town flat, tear it up
    The party starts here get in line
    It's beer thirty a honky tonk time

    Yeah life's too short, let's get to livin' it

    The party starts here get in line
    It's beer thirty a honky tonk time
    It's beer thirty a honky tonk time

  • 10. Don't Look Back Now

    He doesn't want your love
    But he can't say goodbye
    He's beggin' you to stay
    But he can't tell you why
    You finally made your move
    Your hand is on the door
    You know the rest is hard
    You've been this far before

    Don't look back now
    He's gonna see you cryin'
    You'll turn around
    It happens everytime
    That look will always break you down
    Don't look back now

    You pick your suitcase up
    You hear him call your name
    You'd give your soul to him
    If things could be the same
    You stop and close your eyes
    You grab some memories
    You think of better days
    But that's all history

    Don't look back now
    He's gonna see you cryin'
    You'll turn around
    It happens everytime
    That look will always break you down
    Don't look back now

  • 11. All Out Of Love

    Are you gonna call it quits
    'Cause girl from where I sit
    All the signs I read
    Say you're over me
    My world stopped
    And time stands still
    Until I know
    I know how you feel
    Are you all out of love

    The story in your eyes
    Tells me the well's run dry
    Am I a fool for holdin' on
    For prayin' this feeling's wrong
    If what I fear
    Is really true
    Then girl
    I wanna hear it from you
    Are you all out of love
    Are you all out of love

    Is this the end of the line
    Is this as far as we go
    Or can I somehow change your mind
    Or will your heart be forever closed

    Are you all out of love

  • 12. The Trouble With Angels

    Alone here tonight, lookin' up at the sky
    Wonderin' how I let her go
    Did I hold her too tight, heaven only knows
    A bottle of wine, a day in the sunshine
    Seems like we shared everything
    Yeah I felt her love but I never saw her wings

    And that's the trouble with angels
    That's the trouble with angels
    You can try and make her stay
    But she's bound to fly away
    That's the trouble with angels

    Wherever you are, no matter how far
    I hope you'll always understand
    I'm savin' you a soft place to land
    It's crazy I know talkin' like you're still so close
    But the memory endures
    Are you listenin', I never know for sure

    And that's the trouble with angels
    That's the trouble with angels
    You can try and make her stay
    But she's bound to fly away
    That's the trouble with angels

    That's the trouble with angels
    That's the trouble with angels
    You can try and make her stay
    But she's bound to fly away
    That's the trouble with angels
    That's the trouble with angels
    She'll fly

  • 13. Texas And Norma Jean

    It was a foggy mornin' south of San Jose
    We were sittin' in a crowded coffee shop
    With nothin' left to say
    My cup grew cold and a teardrop rolled
    Down her cheek and I brushed it away
    I remember it all just like yesterday

    And I see it now, I feel it still
    It's a day I can't forget and never will
    And I hear her voice on the winds of Abilene
    She used to call me Texas and I called her Norma Jean

    Still see her wavin' through the radiator steam
    She was stranded by the roadside on her way to bigger things
    She threw her bags in back, said she liked my hat
    Her name was Marilyn Justine
    I fell into her California dream

    And I see it now, I feel it still
    It's a day I can't forget and never will
    And I hear her voice on the winds of Abilene
    She used to call me Texas and I called her Norma Jean

    Yeah we took a lotta detours on our winding way out west
    Livin' for the moment, forgettin' all the rest
    The life that she had waitin' and the one I left behind
    And now I'm back here tryin' to sort it out
    One fence post at a time

    In that coffee shop, the road just stopped
    And we faced reality
    The place that she was goin' had no place for me

    And I see it now, I feel it still
    It's a day I can't forget and never will
    And I hear her voice on the winds of Abilene
    She used to call me Texas and I called her Norma Jean

    Yeah I called her Norma Jean
