1.Get Away
You got your getaway and I got mine＊
Go ahead and run but girl take your time.
There's No tellin' what we both might find.
You got your getaway and I got mine.
We've been at each other's throats for a while.
I think we just need some rest.
Both got different ways of handling things,
we've gotta get through all this mess.
Take a break from tryin' to please one another, we might
actually find the truth.
Who we are, and what we're about.
There something to ourselves we get to prove.
You got you getaway and I got mine.
Go ahead and run but girl take your time.
There' no tellin' what we both might find.
You got your getaway and I got mine.
Think I'll drive out to my brothers' land. Treat a six string as
my best friend. Sit by the
water and I'll think all night. Send my mind into a relative
spin. If I know you, you're
probably callin' the girls, plan a night on the town. You'll
talk angry and you'll talk mad, but
you'll run to me when the end of the night rolls around.
Chorus
Bridge
I'm not tryin' to be clever. And you know that I'll never let
you leave. I just want you to
be happy, every things gonna be alright, it always is with you
and me. yeah.
Chorus 2X
You got you getaway and I got mine. Go ahead and run and, girl
take your time. There's
No tellin' what we both might find. You got your getaway and I
got mine.
2.Tired Of Being Alone
Sunday rolled around and I'm alone again＊
I picked up the phone and I started to call
I dialed your number, let it ring a couple of times
And hung it up 'cause I was just too scared
Hardly a day goes by I don't think about you
I know it's been so long
I've still got the memories way down inside my heart
And I wonder if I'll ever love like that again
Well I'm tired of being alone
I want to rest my weary head
And I want to know if love is real
I want to feel the passion
And the smile upon my face
Of my sweet baby in my arms
Loneliness is a lonely song and
I've been singing it way too long
I'm so tired of being alone
I've had people tell me that they're tired
They been hearing my sob story way too long
They say I need to find someone
If only I would try
Oh but I've been trying way too long
Chorus (x2)
3.Try Not To Listen
Sometimes I get captured by the way a song sounds＊
It takes me inside and lifts me up off the ground
It can make you feel love like you've never felt before
Or it can make you cry and want to hide behind doors
For a song is more powerful that most people think
Go ahead and sit by the jukebox
And order up another drink
And try not to listen
Try not to hear the words
For that song that's always haunted you
Is always gonna be heard
I hope you listen to my songs
I hope you listen to what I say
This song's my life and that's the reason
Oh the reason I was made
Sometimes I put some grit into it and sing it loud as I can
And I scream and yell at the crowd hoping that they understand
And sometimes they yell back and it's as crazy as it can be
And I think to myself, what a hell of a life I lead
For a song is more powerful that most people think
Go ahead and sit by the jukebox
And order up another drink
Repeat Chorus
Sometimes it's real slow and tender as it can be
And I look into your eyes and I wish you could see what I see
You may not want to listen, you may not like my style
But I promise you by the end of the night, there's something
you're gonna realize
That a song is more powerful that most people think
Go ahead and sit by the jukebox
And order up another drink
4.Why Can't You Love Me
Why can't you love me？＊
What can't you just be my girl？
Why's it all got to be so complicated？
If you really love someone
I know you don't really love me
And baby I guess that's alright
At least I had my moment with you
And I'll have that the rest of my life
Sometimes your dreams just don't work out
You know I've had my share before
Guess it's just another time that I'll have to walk through
Another unopened door
Why's it so hard
Hiding all of my pain
I'll try not to be sad girl
I'll just hide my tears behind the rain coming down
If that's the only way to make you happy
Then I'll do it against my will
Yeah we could have been something really special
Now that's just a prophecy left unfulfilled
I hope my heart can handle all of this
It's crazy the way I'm feeling inside
Maybe someday I'll get over you
But for now I don't even want to try
Sometimes your dreams just don't work out
And it's crazy the things I'm feeling inside
Maybe someday I'll get over you
But for now I don't even want to try
Why can't you love me？
Why can't you just be my girl？
Why's it all got to be so complicated？
In this complicated world
5.Starting Right Now
I know I've made mistakes＊
That I can't take back
I also know there's no future living in the past
Well I don't want us to give up
I know us better than that
All it's going to take is for me to change
And baby I can live with that
So starting right now
Baby I'm going to love you right
I'm gonna be the man that you've always dreamed of
A promise you can keep for all of eternity
I'll never let you down
Starting right now
Yeah you said yourself many times
Even without saying a word
You expect more from me
And girl I'm trying so hard to learn
It's not always just about love
It's about wanting to do what's right
So I'm telling you now that I'm trying to change
It's gonna talk a little time
CHORUS (x2)
Starting right now
Starting right now
6.Windfall
Now and then it keeps you runnin'＊
Never seems to die
Trails spin with fear
And not enough livin' on the outside
Never seem to get far enough
Stayin' inbetween the lines
Hold on to what you can
Waitin' for the end
Not knowin' when
May the wind take your troubles away
May the wind take your troubles away
Both feet on the floor
Two hands on the wheel
May the wind take your troubles away
Tryin' to make it far enough
To the next time zone
Few and far between past the midnight hour
You never feel alone
You're really not alone
Switchin' it over to am
Searchin' for a truer sound
Can't recall the call letters
Steel guitar and settle down
Catchin' an all night station
Somewhere in Louisiana
It sounds like 1963
But for now it sounds like heaven
Chorus
May the wind take your troubles away
May the wind
Take your troubles away
7.Keep Hangin' On
Well I love that girl with all my heart＊
Yeah I love her more than anything
But she told me yesterday
To get the hell away
I hope that was something she didn't mean
Last week I tried to kiss her
Oh it seemed like the right thing to do
But she slapped me across the face
And we went our separate way
I turned around and screamed I still love you
Cause there's a long list of reasons
Why I keep hangin' on
I hope you all can see
Just what she's doing to me
I'm tired of her always treating me wrong
I tried to call her on the phone
Just hoping we could talk a little more
She didn't like that at all
She hung up and blocked my calls
Now I can't reach her anymore
She went out with some other guy
I tried not to let it bother me
It took the wind right out of my sails
I got drunk and got in jail
Now I'm as lonely as I can be
Chorus：
Cause there's a long list of reasons
Why I keep hangin' on
I think I'll sit right here
And drink another beer
Until the early morning dawn
I got out of jail and saw her on the street
I tried so hard to wave her down
She just hopped into her truck
Hit the gas and off the clutch
She flipped me off as she was leaving town
She packed up and she moved far away
My friends say it was all because of me
I don't think that's true
I'll see her again real soon
Cause I found out that she moved out to Abilene
Chorus：
There's a long list of reasons
Why I keep hangin' on
I think I'll sit right here
And keep on drinkin' beer
Until the early morning dawn
Yeah I think I'll sit right here
And keep on drinkin' them beers
Until the early morning dawn
8.Mystery Of A Woman
Seems like I live my whole life just like every other man＊
Trying to figure out everything I can
About the way you work, and all your wicked ways
There's no way of winning, all these games you make us play
Think we got it all figured out, then you gotta go and change
Well I'm a fast sinking ship baby and you're the one to blame
You took all of my courage, you nailed it to the wall
Now I'm hung up like an innocent fool with nowhere to fall
It's the mystery of a woman
Don't' know why they do what they do
It's the mystery of a woman
Oh how I wish I knew what they do
Don't think I got all the answers, son I'm not a preacher man
It's just the way I feel, you don't have to understand
But the same's been done to you, you've heard it all before
Might as well stop tryin to find the key that opens up, opens up
that door
CHORUS
When you take my breath away, where does it go？
I guess you take it to a place, that I'll never know
There's so much to be considered when you're dealing with hearts
like mine
You always act like you don't care, are you going to act like
that this time？
CHORUS
9.Walkin' Shoes
If you keep walking in circles, you're gonna fall through the
floor＊
And this old hardwood, can't stand much more
I can't make you stay, and I won't make you go
Are those the same walking shoes, you've worn before
Oh your walking shoes, they're looking pretty worn
But don't worry darlin, I'll buy you some more
I can see your toes, and there's a hole in your soul
Oh your walking shoes, they're looking worn
I remember the day, that you brought 'em home
How you pranced around like a kid, when you put 'em on
And to this day, I can't count the times
I've seen you and your walkin' shoes, saying goodbye
Repeat Chorus
I won't be the hero, I won't be the goat
I won't tell you yes, and darlin' I won't tell you no
I'll just sit on the front porch, and drink my lemonade
Waitin' for you to make up your mind again
Repeat Chorus
10.Who I Am
I love to watch the sunset, as it fades behind the trees＊
I love to talk with God, and get down upon my knees
I love the times I spend with my family and friends
I love to dream about all the places I've never been
And I love to watch you laugh and smile
I love to watch you dream
I love it when you take my hand
Just to let me know you believe in me
I love it that you're my girl
I love that I'm your man
Now that you're in my life, baby, I know
Exactly who I am
I know I love the ladies
I love to go out at night
I love it how we make up
Each and every time that we fight
I love you oh so very much
I love you more than words can say
And I don't know how or why
But I love you more everyday
And I love to watch you laugh and smile
I love to watch you dream
I love it when you take my hand
Just to let me know you believe in me
I love it that you're my girl
I love that I'm your man
Now that you're in my life, baby, I know
Exactly who I am
oh I love to watch you laugh and smile
oh I love to watch you dream
I love it when you take my hand
Just to let me know you believe in me
I love it that you're my girl
I love that I'm your man
Now that you're in my life, baby, I know
Exactly who I am
yeah , yeah, yeah , yeah
Now that you're in my life, baby, I know
Exactly who I am
11.Doug's Song
If you're ever in Lubbock, Texas, be sure to look me up＊
I'll be the one on the barstool too damn drunk to get up
I'll be drinkin one for you
Since you said we're through
Without you honey what else can I do
Yeah I got good friends in whiskey, they let me know they care
Every morning, noon, and night-time
Well they're here when you're not there
You can't make a drunk quit drinking
You can't make the waters part
You sure as hell can't mend my broken heart
Father Time has told me, son, she's long gone
But her memory just lingers on, lingers on
Well what else can I say
Guess I gone and lost my way
Her memory died just the other day
Everyday, I go on living
I take each day at a time
When I wake up, I awake in sorrow
As I watch you, walk right on out my door
If you're in Lubbock Texas, be sure to drive on through
We got enough here of your kind, sure as hell don't need you
Well you bothered me too much
Hell you made me write this song
I'll be happy when you're long gone
Yeah I'll be happy
I'll be happy
Well I'll be happy when you're long gone
12.Not Finished Yet
You had me down＊
And I lost my way
I was looking for signs
Every single day
Please by all means don't call me back
Should I be ashamed？
Should I run back home？
Should I shut my mouth？
Leave this mess alone
But I've got time and the rhythm won't let me sleep
And the wind is blowing hard out
And I'm not finished yet
I got one song left to sing
And it won't make me rich
But it just might keep me sane
And I'm all out of words
Cause you pushed me from behind
I never asked anything of you
But thank you for my line
Girl finds a boy
Girl falls in love
They fly away in a pickup truck
That's the way that it ends on the highway
Yeah, that's the way that it ends around here
Repeat Chorus
Just one more thing
Before I shut my mouth
Perhaps I left a few pieces out
If you want to hear the rest you just leave a message
Yeah if you want to hear the rest
13.Just For Fun
Let's go out for the evening＊
Let's see what we can do
Let's see what kind of trouble
We can get into
Let's go out dancing
And party all night long
It's just me and you baby
From now till the break of dawn
I don't know why, I don't know how
But we're gonna get it done
We're gonna have the best night of our lives
Just for fun
It might get a little crazy
It might get wild at times
I might even try to kiss you
Oh, if you don't mind
There's just something about you
That makes me feel so good inside
Lord it's a feeling I just can't deny
Chorus
I've got on my cowboy hat
I ain't worn it in awhile
I'm trying to do everything babe
Just to see you smile
Let's go sit by the jukebox
Put it on song number 29
I know it's your favorite
And you know that it's mine
