• 1. Forever Road

  FOREVER ROAD LYRICS
  I heard every word you said
  And trying hard to understand
  Exactly what it is, you need, from me

  Baby I apologize
  I never meant to make you cry
  But there ain’t no doubt, we can work it out yeah
  Cause I’m gonna be around

  Don’t worry baby
  I ain’t no maybe
  Rain or Shine
  This Love of mine is for you
  Let my arms remind you
  I’ll always be beside you
  Holdin’ on until this ride is through
  So away we go, down that forever road

  Baby as our lives unfold
  There’s no telling where we’ll go
  But as far as I can see, it’ll be you and me
  Just the way it’s supposed to be
  Now…

  Don’t worry baby
  I ain’t no maybe
  Rain or Shine
  This Love of mine is for you, yeah
  Let my arms remind you
  I’ll always be beside you
  Holdin’ on until this ride is through
  So away we go, down that forever road

  It ain’t gonna be easy
  We’ll both make big mistakes
  But if you love me, trust me
  We’ve got what it takes
  Now…

  Don’t worry baby
  I ain’t no maybe
  Rain or Shine
  This Love of mine is for you
  Yeah, let my arms remind you
  I’ll always be beside you
  Holdin’ on until this ride is through
  So away we go, down that forever road
  Down that forever road
  Away we go

• 2. All I Want

  ALL I WANT LYRICS
  Don’t act surprised, it ain’t like, you didn’t know
  It’s been a long, long time comin' and it’s time for me to go
  Tryin’ to split things up could drive us crazy
  So I’m gonna make this easy baby

  You can have the money
  You can have the house
  Take the Cadillac and that boat out back
  And your mother’s pink and yellow couch
  You can have every penny that I’ll make from this here song
  Girl all I want you to leave me is alone

  Don’t get me wrong I will always love you girl
  You were my life, you were my heart, you were my world
  But we both know it’s over there’s no need to fight it
  Girl I just need some peace and quiet

  So you can have the money
  You can have the house
  Take the Cadillac and that boat out back
  And that ugly pink and yellow couch
  You can have every penny that I will make from this here song
  Girl all I want you to leave me is alone

  (Instrumental Break)

  You can have the money
  You can have the house
  Take the Big screen and your diamond ring
  And those shoes that you swore you couldn't live without
  You can have every penny that I will make from this here song
  Girl all I want you to leave me is alone
  Girl all I need you to leave me is alone

• 3. Don't Think I Don't Think About It

  DON'T THINK I DON'T THINK ABOUT IT LYRICS
  I left out in a cloud of taillights and dust
  Swore I wasn't coming back, said I'd had enough
  Saw you in the rear view standin’, fading from my life
  But I wasn't turnin' 'round
  No not this time

  But don't think I don't think about it
  Don't think I don't have regrets
  Don't think it don't get to me
  Between the work and the hurt and the whiskey
  Don't think I don't wonder 'bout
  Could've been, should've been all worked out
  I know what I felt, and I know what I said
  But don't think I don't think about it

  When we make choices, we gotta live with them
  Heard you found a real good man and you married him
  I wonder if sometimes I cross your mind
  Where would we be today, if I never drove that car away?

  Don't think I don't think about it
  Don't think I don't have regrets
  Don't think it don't get to me
  Between the work and the hurt and the whiskey
  Don't think I don't wonder 'bout
  Could've been, should've been all worked out
  Yeah I know what I felt, and I know what I said
  But don't think I don't think about it
  Don't think I don't think about it

  Don't think I don't think about it
  Don't think I don't have regrets
  Don't think you don't get to me
  Between the work and the hurt and the whiskey
  Don't think I don't wonder 'bout
  Could've been, should've been all worked out
  I know what I felt, and I know what I said
  But don't think I don't think about it, no, no

  Don't think I don't
  Don't think I don't

• 4. Learn To Live

  Grandpa Campbell would sit upon his front porch
  And I’d be right there just sittin’ on his knee
  He’d tell stories of love and feast and famine
  And I’d hang onto every word that he would breathe
  He’d say boy as you walk through this life
  Here’s a little wisdom that'll help you get by

  You gotta live and learn
  You gotta crash and burn
  You gotta make some stances
  And take some chances
  You gotta live and love
  And take all life has to give
  You gotta live and learn
  So you can learn to live

  Well I left home and I went to Carolina
  I didn't set off just to see what I could see
  I did some things that I wasn't really proud of
  Sometimes life just got the best of me
  But I’d always think back to those days
  And I know what Grandpa Campbell would say
  He’d say

  You gotta live and learn
  You gotta crash and burn
  You gotta make some stances
  And take some chances
  You gotta live and love
  And take all life has to give
  You gotta live and learn
  So you can learn to live

  After years of runnin’ round and searching
  I found me a woman who loves me just for me
  All those mistakes I thought that I was making
  Led me right here to you sittin' on my knee
  Son as you walk through this life
  Here’s a little wisdom that will help you get by

  You gotta live and learn
  You gotta crash and burn
  You gotta make some stances
  You gotta take some chances
  You gotta live and love
  And take all life has to give
  You gotta live and learn
  You gotta live and learn
  So you can learn to live
  Learn to live

• 5. If I Had Wings

  Why do we hate?
  Why do we suffer?
  Why do we make our mistakes, and constantly blame one another?
  Why is there war, and why is there killing?
  Have we forgotten some secret we knew back when we were just children?

  If I had wings
  I'd fly up to heaven
  I'd look down from the clouds
  On everything
  Then I could find
  All the things we've been missin'
  I would have all the answers
  If I had wings

  Like why I am here, and where did I come from
  And where will I go when my time here on this earth is done
  And what will I leave that will go on forever?
  Oh no, and what can I do while I'm here to make someone's life better?

  If I had wings
  I'd fly up to heaven
  I'd look down from the clouds
  On everything
  Then I could find
  All the things we've been missin'
  I would have all the answers
  If I had wings

  (Instrumental Break)

  Oh now, if I had wings
  I would fly up to heaven
  I would have all the answers
  If I had wings

• 6. History In The Making

  HISTORY IN THE MAKING LYRICS
  Don’t move, baby don’t move
  Aw look at you; I just wanna take this in
  The moonlight dancin’ off your skin
  Our time, let’s take our time
  I just wanna look in your eyes and catch my breath
  Cause I got a feelin’

  This could be one of those memories
  We wanna hold on to, cling to, one we can’t forget
  Baby, this could be our last first kiss
  The thought of forever
  What if this was that moment
  That chance worth takin’
  History in the making

  Inside, baby inside
  Can you feel the butterflies, floating all around?
  Cause I can sure feel ‘em now
  Tonight, maybe tonight
  Is a start of a beautiful ride that’ll never end
  And baby I got a feeling

  This could be one of those memories
  We wanna hold on to, cling to, one we can’t forget
  Baby, this could be our last first kiss
  The thought of forever
  What if this was that moment
  That chance worth takin’
  History in the making

  Right here, right now
  Holding you in my arms

  This could be one of those memories
  We wanna hold on to, we wanna cling to, one that we can’t forget
  Baby, this could be our last first kiss
  The thought to forever
  What if this was that moment
  A chance worth takin’
  History in the making

• 7. Alright

  ALRIGHT LYRICS
  Alright, Alright
  Yeah it's alright, alright

  Don't need no five star reservations
  I got spaghetti and a cheap bottle of wine
  Don't need no concert in the city
  I got a stereo and the best of Patsy Cline
  Ain't got no caviar no Dom Perignon
  But as far as I can see, I got everything I want

  Cause I got a roof over my head
  The woman I love layin’ in my bed
  And it's alright, alright
  I got shoes under my feet
  Forever in her eyes starin’ back at me
  And it's alright, alright
  Yeah, I got all I need
  And it's alright by me

  Maybe later on we'll walk down to the river
  Lay on a blanket and stare up at the moon
  It may not be no French Riviera
  But it's all the same to me as long as I'm with you

  It may be a simple life, but that's okay
  If you ask me baby, I think I've got it made

  Cause I got a roof over my head
  The woman I love layin’ in my bed
  And it's alright, alright
  I got shoes under my feet
  Forever in her eyes starin’ back at me
  And it's alright, alright
  Yeah, I got all I need
  And it's alright by me

  It's alright by me, yeah, yeah

  When I lay down at night I thank the Lord above
  For giving me everything I ever could dream of

  Cause I got a roof over my head,
  The woman I love layin’ in my bed
  And it's alright, alright, alright, alright
  I got shoes under my feet
  Forever in her eyes starin’ back at me
  And it's alright, alright, alright
  Yeah, I got all I need
  Yeah, I got all I need
  And it's alright by me
  Oh yeah, it's alright by me

• 8. It Won't Be Like This For Long

  IT WON'T BE LIKE THIS FOR LONG LYRICS
  He didn’t have to wake up
  He'd been up all night
  Lying there in bed and listening
  To his newborn baby cry
  He makes a pot of coffee
  He splashes water on his face
  His wife gives him a kiss and says
  It’s gonna be OK

  It won’t be like this for long
  One day we'll look back laughin’
  At the week we brought her home
  This phase is gonna fly by
  So baby, just hold on
  It won’t be like this for long

  Four years later, ‘bout four thirty
  She's crawlin’ in their bed
  And when he drops her off at preschool
  She's clingin’ to his leg
  The teacher peels her off of him
  He says, “What can I do?”
  She says, “Now don’t you worry,
  This’ll only last a week or two”

  It won’t be like this for long
  One day soon you'll drop her off
  And she won’t even know you’re gone
  This phase is gonna fly by
  If you can just hold on
  It won’t be like this for long

  Someday soon she'll be a teenager
  And at times he'll think she hates him
  Then he'll walk her down the aisle
  And raise her veil
  But right now she’s up and cryin’
  And the truth is that he don’t mind
  As he kisses her goodnight
  And she says her prayers

  He lays down there beside her
  ‘Til her eyes are finally closed
  And just watchin’ her it breaks his heart
  Cause he already knows

  It won’t be like this for long
  One day soon that little girl is gonna be
  All grown up and gone
  Yeah this phase is gonna fly by
  So, he's tryin’ to hold on
  Cause it won’t be like this for long
  It won’t be like this for long

• 9. Drinkin And Dialin'

  DRINKIN' AND DIALIN' LYRICS
  Last thing I remember
  I met the boys down at the jamma
  We had a few beers, and a few shots

  I woke up the next day
  With cotton mouth and a headache
  Tryin’ to connect all the dots

  Starin’ up at the ceilin’
  I got that funny feelin’
  Looked over and I, I saw my ex-girlfriend

  I felt like a fool, and that’s when I knew
  I’d been drinkin’ and dialin’ again

  So the next time you think I’ve had too much to drink
  And you tell me I shouldn’t drive home
  When you take my keys, oh I’m beggin’ you please
  Go on, take my cell phone
  Cause I have been known, after tyin’ one on
  To call up a couple old friends
  Tell ‘em that I love em, or maybe don’t cuss em
  When I’m drinkin’ and dialin’ again

  So the next time you think I’ve had too much to drink
  And you tell me I should not drive home
  Oh when you take my keys, oh I’m beggin you please
  Go on and take my cell phone

  If you’ve ever heard, me slurrin’ my words
  On your voice mail around 4 a.m.
  You’ll have to forgive me, and blame it on my whiskey
  I was drinkin’ and dialin’ again

  I’ve been drinkin’ and dialin’ again

• 10. I Hope They Get To Me In Time

  I HOPE THEY GET TO ME IN TIME LYRICS
  I'm eight years old, daddy's cutting my hair
  Aqua Velva on his hands
  Mama's in the kitchen
  Got fried green tomatoes poppin' in the pan
  I see a home run, a gold line
  Holding my breath getting baptized
  I see her beautiful face, under that veil, as she's walking down the aisle

  I can hear the sirens coming
  Smell the gasoline and smoke
  I'm pinned against this steering wheel
  Pretty sure my arm is broke
  I can see the flames, and my life
  Flashin’ right before my eyes
  I hope they get to me in time

  I could see the headlights swerve
  So I cut the wheel to the right
  Last thing I saw was that bottle turned up
  As he crossed that center line
  I see tiny hands, brown eyes
  Fallin’ asleep to that lullaby
  And you slide over next to me, as I turned out the lights

  I can hear the sirens coming
  Smell the gasoline and smoke
  I'm pinned against this steering wheel
  Pretty sure my arm is broke
  I can see the flames, and my life
  Flashin’ right before my eyes
  I hope they get to me in time

  Please Lord, I'm begging you
  Don't let me go like this
  There's so much left that I wanna do
  So much I don't wanna miss

  I can see the flames, and my life
  Flashin’ right before my eyes
  I hope they get to me in time
  Just get to me in time
  Please get to me in, in time

• 11. When I Still Got The Time

  WHILE I STILL GOT THE TIME LYRICS
  Thirty-nine candles burnt out on a cake
  Each representin’ a million mistakes
  The last one still burns, there’s a wish I can make
  This time I’m gettin’ it right
  So I close my eyes and I take a deep breath
  And I promise myself in the time I have left

  I’m gonna work like I don’t need the money
  I’m gonna laugh like I’m not afraid to cry
  I’m gonna dance like nobody’s watching
  I’m gonna love while I still got the time

  Lovin’ me hasn’t been easy on you
  I don’t know why, but I know you still do
  It may be my day, but here’s a present for you
  You’re lookin’ at your new man
  He’s sincere and sober and faithful and kind
  And he’s home when you need, girl
  And startin’ tonight

  I’m gonna work like I don’t need the money
  I’m gonna laugh like I’m not afraid to cry
  I’m gonna dance like nobody’s watching
  I’m gonna love while I still got the time

  No more excuses and no more me doing things wrong
  Life is too short; baby, I’ve wasted ours for too long
  And baby from now on

  I’m gonna work like I don’t need the money
  I’m gonna laugh like I’m not afraid to cry
  I’m gonna dance like nobody’s watching
  I’m gonna love while I still got the time

  I’m gonna work like I don’t need the money, I know I am
  I’m gonna laugh like I’m not afraid to cry, laugh, laugh, laugh
  I’m gonna dance like nobody’s watchin’, I’m gonna dance, I’m gonna dance
  I’m gonna love while I still got the time
  I’m gonna love while I still got the time
  While I still got the time

• 12. Be Wary Of A Woman

  BE WARY OF A WOMAN LYRICS
  If you're a man like me who's good at leaving
  If you like your space and you love your freedom
  Don’t see yourself as ever settlin’ down
  Or your whole world being tossed around

  Be wary of a woman
  A woman so fine
  Don’t wanna change you
  Loves you just right
  Makes you feel like a man inside
  Sometimes she’ll make you cry
  ‘Til you don’t know what you’re doin’
  You’re out of control
  Forget about leavin’ your heart won’t go
  If don’t like that you better run and hide
  And be wary of a woman like mine

  She’ll make you laugh when you feel like cryin’
  Make you wanna live when you feel like dyin’
  So if you like living in the dark
  Just walk away you’re gonna lose your heart

  Be wary of a woman
  A woman so fine
  Don’t wanna change you
  Loves you just right
  Makes you feel like a man inside
  Sometimes she’ll make you cry
  ‘Til you don’t know what you’re doin’
  You’re out of control
  Forget about leavin’ your heart won’t go
  If don’t like that you better run and hide
  And be wary of a woman
  Be wary of a woman like mine
  Man you don’t stand a chance – Don’t even try
  Be wary of a woman like mine

  Be wary of a woman
  A woman so fine
  Don’t wanna change you
  Who loves you just right
  Makes you feel like a man inside
  Sometimes she’ll make you cry
  ‘Til you don’t know what you’re doin’
  You’re out of control
  Forget about leavin’ your heart won’t go
  If don’t like that you better run and hide
  And be wary of a woman like mine
  A woman like mine
  Be wary of a woman like mine
  Oh, a woman like mine
