She asked me how love gets along
with me all by myself
Wonders how I keep from getting
dust upon that shelf
She wanted to know how a man like me
ends up alone, anyway
'Was I breakin' all the rules of love
and the games that people play
I said not too many hangin' round
of all the ones I meet
In time they always find that I'm on
the bitter side of sweet
She huddled on the gate on my block
where I always catch my bus
An' I hoped it wouldn't stop today,
there'd just be the two of us
But it showed up like it always does,
about twenty minutes late
I told her it'd be right along
but she said she couldn't wait
She didn't need any assistance
in putting some distance,
between us on that empty street
She was of a mind,
in record time that I'm on
the bitter side of sweet
That I act this was is really not my fault
It just means all the sweet things I've got to say
Come along with a grain of salt
[Instrumental]
It's no wonder I'm not scoring points,
I'm always out of bounds
If any wise willed words convince the point,
I'm foolish by the pound
An' a fool can see no one believes
what's rollin' off my tongue
An' I've never seen a recipe
for sweet talkin' anyone
I could have written a book on
the lessons I took
in the agony of defeat
An showed you all the signs
between the lines on
the bitter side of sweet
The Finest Gift Lyrics – Clint Black
She can shop all over town,
Turn the gift shops upside down
Finding something for her man with everything
But it's right behind her eyes and no matter what she buys
She'll always be the finest gift, she brings.
[Chorus:]
Every year it's never missed,
Should be at the top of every list
It can never be outdone,
It's the perfect gift for everyone.
It's in everything you'll see
Scattered underneath our tree
You can hear it in the carols that we sing
It's the heart of love's design
And it appreciates with time
And she'll always be the finest gift, she brings.
[Instrumental]
[Chorus:]
Every year it's never missed,
Should be at the top of every list
It can never be outdone,
It's the perfect gift for everyone
Now It's not in any store
And she could never give me more
Then her promise of the finest gift, she brings
I know her love's the finest gift, she brings...
Turn the gift shops upside down
Finding something for her man with everything
But it's right behind her eyes and no matter what she buys
She'll always be the finest gift, she brings.
[Chorus:]
Every year it's never missed,
Should be at the top of every list
It can never be outdone,
It's the perfect gift for everyone.
It's in everything you'll see
Scattered underneath our tree
You can hear it in the carols that we sing
It's the heart of love's design
And it appreciates with time
And she'll always be the finest gift, she brings.
[Instrumental]
[Chorus:]
Every year it's never missed,
Should be at the top of every list
It can never be outdone,
It's the perfect gift for everyone
Now It's not in any store
And she could never give me more
Then her promise of the finest gift, she brings
I know her love's the finest gift, she brings...
Under The Mistletoe Lyrics – Clint Black
There's no telling how far a kiss'll go
Wish on the highest star that this'll go
On right here where we are under the mistletoe
On Christmas night, it seems so right.
That a lovely holiday dish made a mess of me
If love is this, it's my favourite recipe
The kind that fits to remind the rest of me
There's room to grow, under the mistletoe.
But I made this "myth" as a Christmas wannabe
With a Christmas list that insists I've gotta be
Hugged and kissed by this sweet miss in front of me
On Christmas night and every night.
Just right here, in the doorway where they found us
They'd like to leave but there's no way around us
I believe there's a spell that bound us
I've gotta know, is it only the mistletoe.
Gotta know, I'm afraid to go
Don't want out if we're in the throes
Flames die out in the afterglow
And I've gotta know, is it only the mistletoe.
Don't think so.
[Instrumental]
Gotta know, I'm afraid to go
Don't want out if we're in the throes
Flames die out in the afterglow
And I've gotta know, is it only the mistletoe.
Don't think so
I gotta know
Say it ain't, say it ain't, say it ain't,
Say it ain't Just the mistletoe...
Don't know...
Wish on the highest star that this'll go
On right here where we are under the mistletoe
On Christmas night, it seems so right.
That a lovely holiday dish made a mess of me
If love is this, it's my favourite recipe
The kind that fits to remind the rest of me
There's room to grow, under the mistletoe.
But I made this "myth" as a Christmas wannabe
With a Christmas list that insists I've gotta be
Hugged and kissed by this sweet miss in front of me
On Christmas night and every night.
Just right here, in the doorway where they found us
They'd like to leave but there's no way around us
I believe there's a spell that bound us
I've gotta know, is it only the mistletoe.
Gotta know, I'm afraid to go
Don't want out if we're in the throes
Flames die out in the afterglow
And I've gotta know, is it only the mistletoe.
Don't think so.
[Instrumental]
Gotta know, I'm afraid to go
Don't want out if we're in the throes
Flames die out in the afterglow
And I've gotta know, is it only the mistletoe.
Don't think so
I gotta know
Say it ain't, say it ain't, say it ain't,
Say it ain't Just the mistletoe...
Don't know...
The Kid Lyrics – Clint Black
Last night I dreamed I was a kid again
All the things I used to do I went and did again
Spent the afternoon with my best and closest friend
Wanderin' through the days we thought would never end.
It was back when I'd still get things from Santa Claus
Back when he believed in me and overlooked the flaws
That can grow inside until it hides
The perfect little boy inside the man.
[Chorus:]
I'm not a kid anymore, but I still believe
That those miracles occur
That's not something up his sleeve
And that the reindeer pull the sleigh and
The elves will make the toys
Santa gives away to all the girls and boys.
Tonight I'll climb back in that bed again
Try to live out all my dreams inside my head again
After christmas eve with my best and closest friend
Who will believe the world's greatest dad
Just tucked him in.
And I know that he'llbe looking out for Santa Claus
And I'm sure beyond a doubt he'll overlook the flaws
That will grow inside until it hides
This perfect little boy inside a man.
I'm not a kid anymore and I still believe
That those miracles occur
That's not something up his sleeve
And that the reindeer pull the sleigh
And the elves do make the toys
Santa gives away to all the girls and boys...
All the things I used to do I went and did again
Spent the afternoon with my best and closest friend
Wanderin' through the days we thought would never end.
It was back when I'd still get things from Santa Claus
Back when he believed in me and overlooked the flaws
That can grow inside until it hides
The perfect little boy inside the man.
[Chorus:]
I'm not a kid anymore, but I still believe
That those miracles occur
That's not something up his sleeve
And that the reindeer pull the sleigh and
The elves will make the toys
Santa gives away to all the girls and boys.
Tonight I'll climb back in that bed again
Try to live out all my dreams inside my head again
After christmas eve with my best and closest friend
Who will believe the world's greatest dad
Just tucked him in.
And I know that he'llbe looking out for Santa Claus
And I'm sure beyond a doubt he'll overlook the flaws
That will grow inside until it hides
This perfect little boy inside a man.
I'm not a kid anymore and I still believe
That those miracles occur
That's not something up his sleeve
And that the reindeer pull the sleigh
And the elves do make the toys
Santa gives away to all the girls and boys...
The Coolest Pair Lyrics – Clint Black
If I could take a ride on Rudolph,
We'd trim the treetops
Knockin' a boot off
I'd get a rise out of Rudolph
Hoofin' it everywhere.
If I could make
A Frosty the Snowman,
He'd be the jolly
Get up and go-man
I'd make a 40 below-man
We'd be the coolest pair.
[Chorus:]
Hey, We'd stick together,
All kinds of weather
We're sure to have a ball
I can imagine all that can happen
If a little bit of snow would fall
If I could be the man
Down the chimney,
Bag full of magic
I've got it in me
I can get Santa to send me,
I've got the time to spare
[Instrumental]
[Chorus:]
Hey, We'd stick together,
All kinds of weather
We're sure to have a ball
I can imagine
All that can happen
If a little bit of snow would fall.
But the word is around
There's some other town
That let Christmas go to the Grinch
Well, maybe in Whoville
Not me and You-ville,
We'd never give 'em an inch.
If I could make
A Frosty the Snowman
He'd be the jolly
Still on a roll-man
I'm make a 40-below man,
We'd be the coolest pair
Hoofin' it everywhere,
Hey, I've got time to spare...
We'd trim the treetops
Knockin' a boot off
I'd get a rise out of Rudolph
Hoofin' it everywhere.
If I could make
A Frosty the Snowman,
He'd be the jolly
Get up and go-man
I'd make a 40 below-man
We'd be the coolest pair.
[Chorus:]
Hey, We'd stick together,
All kinds of weather
We're sure to have a ball
I can imagine all that can happen
If a little bit of snow would fall
If I could be the man
Down the chimney,
Bag full of magic
I've got it in me
I can get Santa to send me,
I've got the time to spare
[Instrumental]

Looking For Christmas Lyrics – Clint Black
I'm looking for Christmas,
I've gotta find Christmas,
Flying back in my mind
Does anyone know of this Christmas,
A long ago Christmas
Sleigh bells ringing, carolers singing
Only bringing the long traveled message of love.
I'm looking for Christmas,
In time for this Christmas,
A day far and away
And could a star show me Christmas,
The town of old Christmas
Where truth is ringing, a virgin's
Bringing the newborn king and the
Lord's own Messiah of love.
And I close my eyes and
I'm kneeling there in the stall,
And could I be the wise man,
Sharing his wisdom,
Creating a kingdom for all.
[Instrumental]
I'm looking for Christmas,
I know I'll find Christmas
Imparted right from the start
And everyone knows of this Christmas
The very first Christmas
Where Christ is guiding, all with tidings
Still his light is residing here in us all.
And I close my eyes,
And a thousand lifetimes recall
Aren't we all wise magi, sharing his wisdom,
Creating a kingdom
As born on this Christmas and each Christmas day
We are sharing his wisdom creating a kingdom
As born on this Christmas
And each Christmas day that shall fall...
I've gotta find Christmas,
Flying back in my mind
Does anyone know of this Christmas,
A long ago Christmas
Sleigh bells ringing, carolers singing
Only bringing the long traveled message of love.
I'm looking for Christmas,
In time for this Christmas,
A day far and away
And could a star show me Christmas,
The town of old Christmas
Where truth is ringing, a virgin's
Bringing the newborn king and the
Lord's own Messiah of love.
And I close my eyes and
I'm kneeling there in the stall,
And could I be the wise man,
Sharing his wisdom,
Creating a kingdom for all.
[Instrumental]

Christmas For Every Boy And Girl Lyrics – Clint Black
The roar of his laughter is widely renown
A distinct ho-ho-ho as he goes town to town
The number of kids is sure to astound
It's many the chimney that he'll shimmy down
He know's who's been bad and who's good
And he'd empty that bag out if only he could.
[Chorus:]
When he's loading his sleigh and he's making the rounds
There'll be many a rooftop that won't hear the sound
Of the reindeers hooves stomp and St. Nick touches down
When he wraps up a package of peace for the world
There'll be christmas for every boy and girl.
How many children are watching the sky
For a chance to see Rudolph's red nose glowing by
And how many lay listening with sleep in their eyes
And visions of patriots crossing the sky
He knows who's asleep and awake
And that promise won't keep if it's for goodness sake.
[Chorus:]
When he's loading his sleigh and he's making the rounds
There'll be many a rooftop that won't hear the sound
Of the reindeers hooves stomp and St. Nick touches down
When he wraps up a package of peace for the world
There'll be christmas for every boy and girl.
[Chorus:]
When he's loading his sleigh and he's making the rounds
There'll be many a rooftop that won't hear the sound
Of the reindeers hooves stomp and St. Nick touches down
When he wraps up a package of peace for the world
There'll be christmas for every boy and girl.
...Around the world...
A distinct ho-ho-ho as he goes town to town
The number of kids is sure to astound
It's many the chimney that he'll shimmy down
He know's who's been bad and who's good
And he'd empty that bag out if only he could.
[Chorus:]
When he's loading his sleigh and he's making the rounds
There'll be many a rooftop that won't hear the sound

Til' Santa's Gone (Milk And Cookies) Lyrics – Clint Black
Now I'm only five years old
I've got to do just what I'm told
'Cause Santa Claus is gonna be dropping in on me.
Now is there something I might have missed
I had quite a few things on my list
I hope he can fit it all under that Christmas tree.
Now I know what he like for a late night snack
For years now it's been bringing him back
Milk and cookies.
He'll come and go without a sound again
But how in the world does he get in
Ain't got a chimney.
Close my eyes and concentrate
Try to sleep it's getting late
All night long I lie awake
Till Santa's Gone I just can't wait.
Now is there something I might have missed
I had quite a few things on my list
I hope he can get it all under that Christmas tree.
Sneak a peek down the hall
I've got to check Now I don't recall
The milk and cookies.
I think I'm sure I got it all
Stockings hung a-long the wall
Ain't got a chimney.
Close my eyes and concentrate
I gotta sleep now it's getting late
All night long I lie awake
Till Santa's Gone I just can't wait
Just can't wait, just can't wait.
Could there be something I might have missed
I had quite a few things on my list
I hope he can fit it all under that Christmas tree.
I hope he can fit it all under my Christmas tree.
[Spoken]
Get that harmonica under there,
And put a guitar under there
And cowboy hat
And a bicycle maybe
And don't know what he's gonna do with that horse...
I've got to do just what I'm told
'Cause Santa Claus is gonna be dropping in on me.
Now is there something I might have missed
I had quite a few things on my list
I hope he can fit it all under that Christmas tree.
Now I know what he like for a late night snack
For years now it's been bringing him back
Milk and cookies.
He'll come and go without a sound again
But how in the world does he get in
Ain't got a chimney.
Close my eyes and concentrate
Try to sleep it's getting late
All night long I lie awake
Till Santa's Gone I just can't wait.
Now is there something I might have missed
I had quite a few things on my list
I hope he can get it all under that Christmas tree.
Sneak a peek down the hall
I've got to check Now I don't recall

I think I'm sure I got it all
Stockings hung a-long the wall
Ain't got a chimney.
Close my eyes and concentrate
I gotta sleep now it's getting late
All night long I lie awake
Till Santa's Gone I just can't wait
Just can't wait, just can't wait.
Could there be something I might have missed

I hope he can fit it all under that Christmas tree.
I hope he can fit it all under my Christmas tree.

Slow As Christmas Lyrics – Clint Black
You're as slow as christmas,
I was up before the dawn
Up so fast I missed it
Or was that old saying wrong
Every Christmas Day makes
Every other day seem long
What seemed would never get here
Has so quickly come and gone.
I've heard old sayings, old cliches
And most of them make sense
But we're wiser in our younger days
Not easily convinced
There's no way to look ahead
With the wool over your eyes
And it seems that Santa's sled
Isn't the only thing that flies.
You're as slow as christmas,
I was up before the dawn
Up so fast I missed it
Or was that old saying wrong
Every Christmas Day makes
Every other day seem long
What seemed would never get here
Has so quickly come and gone.
[Instrumental]
We're bringing in another year
Let's throw the old one back
With my new train, I'll be the engineer
And hurry down the track
While I know that time is standing still
I hear that old cliche
And I'm more convinced it does until that
One December day.
When I'm as slow as christmas
I'll be up before the dawn
I'm not gonna miss this
I know that old saying's wrong
Every christmas day makes other day seem long
What seemed would never get here
Has so quickly come and gone,
Come and gone...
I was up before the dawn
Up so fast I missed it
Or was that old saying wrong
Every Christmas Day makes
Every other day seem long
What seemed would never get here
Has so quickly come and gone.
I've heard old sayings, old cliches
And most of them make sense
But we're wiser in our younger days
Not easily convinced
There's no way to look ahead
With the wool over your eyes
And it seems that Santa's sled
Isn't the only thing that flies.
You're as slow as christmas,
I was up before the dawn
Up so fast I missed it
Or was that old saying wrong
Every Christmas Day makes
Every other day seem long
What seemed would never get here
Has so quickly come and gone.
[Instrumental]
We're bringing in another year
Let's throw the old one back
With my new train, I'll be the engineer

While I know that time is standing still

When I'm as slow as christmas
I'll be up before the dawn
I'm not gonna miss this
I know that old saying's wrong
Every christmas day makes other day seem long
What seemed would never get here
Has so quickly come and gone,
Come and gone...
The Birth Of The King Lyrics – Clint Black
Sages have come from far
Following one bright star
Telling us where thou art
From heaven the King of kings,

Praise of the Nazarene

One Emotion Lyrics – Clint Black
Looking for the feelings That used to tell me something's wrong
Like all the doubts When love sent shivers down my spine
But all I'm feeling Is pure and simply we belong
And what's come over me
Are chills of another kind
One emotion wrapped around me
One emotion I can hold on to
Wherever it's going is exactly where I want to be
One emotion's got a hold of you and me
There's nothing left Of the useless things I used to feel
Only love now As everything else just fades away
It's all around us
Though you might not see it
It's just as real as the wild horses
You would have to have to drag me away
[Repeat Chorus]
Like all the doubts When love sent shivers down my spine
But all I'm feeling Is pure and simply we belong
And what's come over me
Are chills of another kind
One emotion wrapped around me
One emotion I can hold on to
Wherever it's going is exactly where I want to be
One emotion's got a hold of you and me
There's nothing left Of the useless things I used to feel
Only love now As everything else just fades away
It's all around us
Though you might not see it
It's just as real as the wild horses
You would have to have to drag me away
[Repeat Chorus]
Summer's Coming Lyrics – Clint Black
Nothin' on earth that'll get me hummin'
Like a heat wave comin' and I'll come runnin'
With her makin' that tan in the broad daylight
And every night is a Saturday night
And everything's right with the summer comin'
I'm the first one standin' in line
For my day in the sun I've been workin'
'Til the sun don't shine.
Takin' off my hat leave it to the boys
Get that old work monkey down off my back
All I want's a little peace and noise
Hit the cruise control
Get me back on track
Let my old Ford treat me like a Cadillac.
Nothin' on Earth that'll get me hummin'
Like a heat wave comin' and I'll come runnin'
With her makin' that tan in the broad daylight
And every night is a Saturday night
And everything's right with the summer comin'
I'm the first one standin' in line
For my day in the sun I've been workin'
'Til the sun don't shine.
[Instrumental]
When the day gets cookin' gonna grab my toys
And it really doesn't matter which wave we're on
Get to turnin' up them good old boys
Crankin' into the night, by the break of dawn
All the towns are red and I still see blonde.
Nothin' on Earth that'll get me hummin'
Like a heat wave comin' and I'll come runnin'
With her makin' that tan in the broad daylight
And every night is a Saturday night.
And everything's right with the summer comin'
I'm the first one standin' in line
For my day in the sun I've been workin'
'Til the sun don't shine.
For my day in the sun I've been workin'
'Til the sun don't shine.
For my day in the sun I've been workin'
'Til the sun don't shine.
Summer's comin' to shine.
Summer's comin' to shine.
Summer's comin'...
Like a heat wave comin' and I'll come runnin'
With her makin' that tan in the broad daylight
And every night is a Saturday night
And everything's right with the summer comin'
I'm the first one standin' in line
For my day in the sun I've been workin'
'Til the sun don't shine.
Takin' off my hat leave it to the boys
Get that old work monkey down off my back
All I want's a little peace and noise

For my day in the sun I've been workin'
'Til the sun don't shine.
For my day in the sun I've been workin'
'Til the sun don't shine.
Summer's comin' to shine.
Summer's comin' to shine.
Summer's comin'...
Untanglin' My Mind Lyrics – Clint Black
I guess you're glad to see I'm finally leaving
I know things for you will change now for the good
But it's all that I can do to pack my suitcase
And walk away from you the way I should
And I can't seem to find the voice of reason
Everything seems upside down and right side wrong
While a part of me is here and won't like leaving
The rest of me the best of me is gone
And I'm sure no one will wonder where I've gone to
But if anyone should ask from time to time
Tell them that you finally drove me crazy
And I'm somewhere untanglin' my mind
Well tell 'em I won't be riding I'll be walking
'Cause I don't think a crazy man should drive
Anyway the car belongs to you now
Along with any part of me that's still alive
But there's really not much left you could hold on to
And if you did it wouldn't last here anyway
It would head to where the rest of me rolled on to
So even if I wanted to I couldn't stay
[Repeat Chorus]
And I'm somewhere untanglin' my mind
I know things for you will change now for the good
But it's all that I can do to pack my suitcase
And walk away from you the way I should
And I can't seem to find the voice of reason
Everything seems upside down and right side wrong
While a part of me is here and won't like leaving
The rest of me the best of me is gone
And I'm sure no one will wonder where I've gone to
But if anyone should ask from time to time
Tell them that you finally drove me crazy
And I'm somewhere untanglin' my mind
Well tell 'em I won't be riding I'll be walking
'Cause I don't think a crazy man should drive
Anyway the car belongs to you now
Along with any part of me that's still alive
But there's really not much left you could hold on to
And if you did it wouldn't last here anyway
It would head to where the rest of me rolled on to
So even if I wanted to I couldn't stay
[Repeat Chorus]
And I'm somewhere untanglin' my mind
Wherever You Go Lyrics – Clint Black
Bottle of scotch whiskey not very smooth
Like snake bite cure from the medicine man
Not bad poison if there's something to soothe
It's a whole other world in the palm of your hand
Out of this world and out of your mind
Just like it don't matter what you're leaving behind
Trying to change your life you change your point of view
But no matter what you do it's the same old you
Wherever you go there you are
You can run from yourself but you won't get far
You can dive to the bottom of your medicine jar
But wherever you go there you are
Bottle of scotch whiskey whatever you find
When you're out on a wire it's a matter of time
Changing every moment when you're taking the fall
There's everything to gain when you're losing it all
Feel your head spinning with your feet on the ground
You climb the wrong ladder and it's keeping you down
Think you're gettin' higher but you're still layin' low
You don't want to be anyone you know
[Repeat Chorus]
Once you've been bitten it's like crossing a line
It's a part of the plan all that's on your mind
Think that it'll help you find somebody to be
But the man in the mirror is all you'll see
[Repeat Chorus]
Like snake bite cure from the medicine man

But no matter what you do it's the same old you

A Change In The Air Lyrics – Clint Black
There's something talkin' in the wind
Whispering through the trees
That feeling in my bones again
Just puts me right at ease.
It takes me back to all the times
I've been here before
But crossroads, old familiar signs
Tell me there's something more.
Can't explain, there's something strange about the early fall
It's comfort leaving me without a care
I remain but everything around me hears the call
And tonight, I feel a change in the air.
[Instrumental]
The leaves are turning, soon they'll fall
There's a norther' blowing in
The memories flowin', I recall
Those changes in the wind.
But I can never try to understand
There's nothing you can hold in your hand
Can't explain, there's something strange about the early fall
It's comfort leaving me without a care
I remain but everything around me hears the call
And tonight I feel a change in the air.
Yes, I'll surely feel a change in the air...
Whispering through the trees
That feeling in my bones again
Just puts me right at ease.
It takes me back to all the times
I've been here before
But crossroads, old familiar signs
Tell me there's something more.
Can't explain, there's something strange about the early fall
It's comfort leaving me without a care
I remain but everything around me hears the call
And tonight, I feel a change in the air.
[Instrumental]
The leaves are turning, soon they'll fall
There's a norther' blowing in
The memories flowin', I recall
Those changes in the wind.
But I can never try to understand

Can't explain, there's something strange about the early fall
It's comfort leaving me without a care
I remain but everything around me hears the call
And tonight I feel a change in the air.
Yes, I'll surely feel a change in the air...
Life Gets Away Lyrics – Clint Black
We're tied to our memories They won't let us stray
We're not gonna lose ones We made yesterday
We look to our future And we make all our plans
As if we control what is out of our hands
[Chorus]
The world keeps on turning
I'm learning to see
Right where I am is where I have to be
You can't count the pages
All ages hear the call
No matter how hard we try
Life gets away from us all
We start getting older The moment we live
Look over your shoulder
There's hindsight to give
Come good days and bad days
The sun's gonna rise
So why look beyond what's in front of your eyes
[Repeat Chorus]
No matter how hard we try
Life gets away from us all
We're not gonna lose ones We made yesterday
We look to our future And we make all our plans
As if we control what is out of our hands
[Chorus]
The world keeps on turning
I'm learning to see
Right where I am is where I have to be
You can't count the pages
All ages hear the call
No matter how hard we try
Life gets away from us all
We start getting older The moment we live
Look over your shoulder
There's hindsight to give
Come good days and bad days
The sun's gonna rise
So why look beyond what's in front of your eyes
[Repeat Chorus]
No matter how hard we try
Life gets away from us all
I Can Get By Lyrics – Clint Black
In a simple life dreams die hard
You never let, let 'em go
All the while you play your cards
And you may never know
Why it's always lady luck
On someone elses' palm they read
Your holding my two empty hands
Is really all I need.
[Chorus:]
I can get by if it all fell through
Right down to the bottom of my list
I can get by lookin' back on life
Find that I've too many things I've missed
I can get by without doing
All the crazy things some people do
But I wouldn't wanna try
Even barely gettin' by without you.
Many things I've come to need
That I could do without
And many more I"ve done with out
I could come to need
The one thing that I'd fight to keep
Until my days are through
Is when I lay me down to sleep
I'm lyin' next to you.
[Chorus:]
I can get by if it all fell through
Right down to the bottom of my list
I can get by lookin' back on life
Find that I've too many things I've missed
I can get by without doing
All the crazy things some people do
But I wouldn't wanna try
Even barely gettin' by without you.
[Instrumental]

Hey Hot Rod Lyrics – Clint Black
Out on the highway flyin' by me
Headlights and tail lights are all I could see
Down at the junction another flies by
They come and go in the blink of an eye.
Down at the strip you see 'em waitin' in line
Lay down the rubber let their motors unwind
No matter whether you can drive it that good
If you ain't got it revvin' under the hood.
[Chorus:]
Hey, hey, hot rod
Burnin' up the back streets tearin' up town
Hey, hey, hot rod
A hound for glory and the glory bound.
Lit up and cruisin' on the good night tail
A rockin' motivator and the radio wails
Ahead of the heat movin' fast and cool
That mean machine is breakin' all the rules.
[Chorus:]
Hey, hey, hot rod
Burnin' up the back streets tearin' up town
Hey, hey, hot rod
A hound for glory and the glory bound.
[Instrumental]
Out on the highway flyin' by me
The blinding headlights are all I could see
The killer curves are gonna drive me to far
And I ain't even started up my car.
[Chorus:]
Hey, hey, hot rod
Burnin' up the back streets tearin' up town
Hey, hey, hot rod
A hound for glory and the glory bound
[Chorus:]
Hey, hey, hot rod
Burnin' up the back streets tearin' up town
Hey, hey, hot rod
A hound for glory and the glory bound
You got the hottest set of wheels around
A hound for glory and the glory bound...
Headlights and tail lights are all I could see
Down at the junction another flies by
They come and go in the blink of an eye.
Down at the strip you see 'em waitin' in line
Lay down the rubber let their motors unwind
No matter whether you can drive it that good
If you ain't got it revvin' under the hood.
[Chorus:]
Hey, hey, hot rod
Burnin' up the back streets tearin' up town
Hey, hey, hot rod

You Walked By Lyrics – Clint Black
You walked by, just like you don't know me
You walked by, maybe just to show me
That you're walkin' by
Passin' up your last chance with me
And I wish I hadn't been here to see.
You don't cry, not for this heart breaker
You won't cry, you've found a new love maker
And he's makin' you forget the love
You used to have for me
And that's one thing I wish I hadn' lived to see.
[Chorus:]
When you see me, turn your head away at the sight
I can't turn it back, cryin' out in broad daylight
You've passed my way a hundred times
Now it's too plain to see
You locked me out and threw away the key.
[Instrumental]
[Chorus:]
When you see me, turn your head away at the sight
I can't turn it back, cryin' out in broad daylight
You've passed my way a hundred times
Now it's too plain to see
You locked me out and threw away the key.
You walked by
And I don't know why...
You walked by, maybe just to show me
That you're walkin' by
Passin' up your last chance with me
And I wish I hadn't been here to see.
You don't cry, not for this heart breaker
You won't cry, you've found a new love maker
And he's makin' you forget the love
You used to have for me
And that's one thing I wish I hadn' lived to see.
[Chorus:]
When you see me, turn your head away at the sight
I can't turn it back, cryin' out in broad daylight
You've passed my way a hundred times

You walked by
And I don't know why...
You Made Me Feel Lyrics – Clint Black
Almost a lifetime of going nowhere
Through all of the motions it took to be me
No one to love me but I didn't care
Had walls all around me and I thought I was free
[Chorus:]
'Til, you made me see you're some kind of light
Can't help but see such a beautiful sight
You opened my eyes and before I could blink
You had all of my vies and I'm startin' to think
That you made me feel all there is to it
You made me feel like you knew I could do it
Put a heart where there's nothing' you made me real
And that's just how you made me feel
I must have been lonely though I couldn't have known
Love was the only thing I was not looking for
Wandering aimless in a world of my own
Pleasure and painless 'til you opened the door
[Chorus:]
'Til, you made me see you're some kind of light
Can't help but see such a beautiful sight
You opened my eyes and before I could blink
You had all of my vies and I'm startin' to think
That you made me feel that's all there is to it
You made me feel like you knew I could do it
Put a heart where there's nothing' and you made me real
And that's just how you made me feel
Just how you made me feel...
Through all of the motions it took to be me
No one to love me but I didn't care
Had walls all around me and I thought I was free
[Chorus:]
'Til, you made me see you're some kind of light
Can't help but see such a beautiful sight
You opened my eyes and before I could blink
You had all of my vies and I'm startin' to think
That you made me feel all there is to it
You made me feel like you knew I could do it
Put a heart where there's nothing' you made me real
And that's just how you made me feel
I must have been lonely though I couldn't have known
Love was the only thing I was not looking for
Wandering aimless in a world of my own
Pleasure and painless 'til you opened the door
[Chorus:]
'Til, you made me see you're some kind of light
Can't help but see such a beautiful sight
You opened my eyes and before I could blink
You had all of my vies and I'm startin' to think
That you made me feel that's all there is to it
You made me feel like you knew I could do it
Put a heart where there's nothing' and you made me real
And that's just how you made me feel
Just how you made me feel...
No Time To Kill Lyrics – Clint Black
There's no time to kill between the cradle and the grave.
Father Time still takes a toll on every minute that you save.
Legal tenders never gonna change the number of your days.
The highest cost of livin is dying, that's one everybody pays.
So have it spent before you get the bill, there's no time to kill.
If we'd known ten years ago today would be ten years from now
Would we spend tomorrows yesterdays and make it last somehow
Or lead the cheers in someone else's game and never learn to play
And see the rules of thumb are all the same that measure every day.
The grass is green on both sides of the hill, there's no time to kill.
No time to kill, even I've said it and probably always will
But I can look ahead and see that time ain't standin' still.
No time to kill but time to change the kind of hurry I've been in
And quit this work and worry looking back at where I've been.
If you don't look ahead nobody will, there's no time to kill.
If we had an hour glass to watch each one go by
Or a bell to mark each one to pass, we'd see just how they fly.
Would we escalate the value to be worth its weight in gold
Or would we never know the fortunes that we had til we grow old.
And do we just keep killin time until there's no time to kill.
No time to kill, even I've said it and probably always will
But I can look ahead and see that time ain't standin still.
No time to kill but time to change the kind of hurry I've been in
And quit this work and worry lookin back at where I've been.
If you don't look ahead nobody will, there's no time to kill.
No time to kill, even I've said it and probably always will
But I can look ahead and see that time ain't standin still.
No time to kill but time to change the kind of hurry I've been in
And quit this work and worry lookin back at where I've been.
If you don't look ahead nobody will, there's no time to kill.
No time to kill
No time to kill
Father Time still takes a toll on every minute that you save.
Legal tenders never gonna change the number of your days.
The highest cost of livin is dying, that's one everybody pays.
So have it spent before you get the bill, there's no time to kill.
If we'd known ten years ago today would be ten years from now

No time to kill but time to change the kind of hurry I've been in
And quit this work and worry looking back at where I've been.

No time to kill

Thinkin' Again Lyrics – Clint Black
The trouble I found could've never found me
Chase my feelings around, my thoughts runnin' free
The heart catches things that the mind's eye won't see
And I'm not nearly as blind as I thought I could be.
I used to think my way into some hard times
I used to think I knew how low I've been
So much thinkin' I finally gave up on my mind
Now here I go thinkin' again.
Now, I see myself down to the bottom again
And I'm likely to drown with these thoughts pourin' in
The trouble I found is the trouble with you
And I can't stand the sound of me thinkin' it through.
I used to think my way into some hard times
I used to think I knew how low I've been
So much thinkin' I finally gave up on my mind
Now here I go thinkin' again.
I used to think my way into some hard times
I used to think I knew how low I've been
So much thinkin' I finally gave up on my mind
Now here I go thinkin' again
Here I go thinkin' again...
Chase my feelings around, my thoughts runnin' free
The heart catches things that the mind's eye won't see
And I'm not nearly as blind as I thought I could be.
I used to think my way into some hard times
I used to think I knew how low I've been
So much thinkin' I finally gave up on my mind
Now here I go thinkin' again.
Now, I see myself down to the bottom again
And I'm likely to drown with these thoughts pourin' in
The trouble I found is the trouble with you
And I can't stand the sound of me thinkin' it through.
I used to think my way into some hard times
I used to think I knew how low I've been
So much thinkin' I finally gave up on my mind
Now here I go thinkin' again.
I used to think my way into some hard times
I used to think I knew how low I've been
So much thinkin' I finally gave up on my mind
Now here I go thinkin' again
Here I go thinkin' again...
A Good Run Of Bad Luck Lyrics – Clint Black
A high roller even when the chips are down
To win her over, I'd seen the tables turn around
She's ten the hard way, I can feel it in my bones
She'll be makin' my day and not another night alone
'Til it's time for a windfall and not a single minute too soon
I've been too long overdue, now I'm gonna shoot the moon
I'd bet it all on a good run of bad luck
Seven come eleven and she could be mine
Luck be a lady, and I'm gonna find love comin' on the bottom line
I've been to the table, and I've lost it all before
I'm willin' and able, always comin' back for more
Squeezin' out a thin dime 'til there's no one hanging on my arm
I've gambled on a third time, a fool will tell you it's a charm
If I'm bettin' on a loser, I'm gonna have a devil to pay
But it's the only game I know to play, it doesn't matter anyway
I'd bet it all on a good run of bad luck
Seven come eleven and she could be mine
Luck be a lady, and I'm gonna find love comin' on the bottom line
I'd bet it all on a good run of bad luck
Seven come eleven and she could be mine
Luck be a lady, and I'm gonna find love comin' on the bottom line
To win her over, I'd seen the tables turn around
She's ten the hard way, I can feel it in my bones
She'll be makin' my day and not another night alone
'Til it's time for a windfall and not a single minute too soon
I've been too long overdue, now I'm gonna shoot the moon
I'd bet it all on a good run of bad luck
Seven come eleven and she could be mine
Luck be a lady, and I'm gonna find love comin' on the bottom line
I've been to the table, and I've lost it all before
I'm willin' and able, always comin' back for more
Squeezin' out a thin dime 'til there's no one hanging on my arm
I've gambled on a third time, a fool will tell you it's a charm
If I'm bettin' on a loser, I'm gonna have a devil to pay
But it's the only game I know to play, it doesn't matter anyway
I'd bet it all on a good run of bad luck
Seven come eleven and she could be mine
Luck be a lady, and I'm gonna find love comin' on the bottom line
I'd bet it all on a good run of bad luck
Seven come eleven and she could be mine
Luck be a lady, and I'm gonna find love comin' on the bottom line
State Of Mind Lyrics – Clint Black
Got a big leather suitcase, all I own's inside
Seems I've been walkin' for days, can't even bum a ride
Try steppin' to a tune, with the rhythm of a walkin' man
Mind drifts like a big balloon out of my situation at hand
Ain't it funny how a melody can bring back a memory
Take you to another place in time
Completely change your state of mind
Walkin' down a lonely highway not feelin' alone
Thinkin' back when things went my way and not the road I'm on
Well, I've been down a time or two, but it never lasted long
I can always make it through on a wing and a prayer and a song
Ain't it funny how a melody can bring back a memory
Take you to another place in time
Completely change your state of mind
It can make a right from a wrong, it can make you fall in love
It can get you singin' along
Chase the clouds away and make the sun shine above
A melody can bring back a memory
Take you to another place in time
Completely change your state of mind
A melody can bring back a memory
Take you to another place in time
Completely change your state of mind
Seems I've been walkin' for days, can't even bum a ride
Try steppin' to a tune, with the rhythm of a walkin' man
Mind drifts like a big balloon out of my situation at hand
Ain't it funny how a melody can bring back a memory
Take you to another place in time
Completely change your state of mind
Walkin' down a lonely highway not feelin' alone
Thinkin' back when things went my way and not the road I'm on
Well, I've been down a time or two, but it never lasted long
I can always make it through on a wing and a prayer and a song
Ain't it funny how a melody can bring back a memory
Take you to another place in time
Completely change your state of mind
It can make a right from a wrong, it can make you fall in love
It can get you singin' along
Chase the clouds away and make the sun shine above
A melody can bring back a memory
Take you to another place in time
Completely change your state of mind
A melody can bring back a memory
Take you to another place in time
Completely change your state of mind
A Bad Goodbye Lyrics – Clint Black
I've been bound to leave you,
We've known that for awhile
I'm sure it's something I can't do
If I can't leave you with a smile
I don't know how far I'll have to go
'Til I'm sure those eyes won't cry
And in my mind I've left enough to know
That I can't leave you
With a bad goodbye.
Goodbye, easier said than done
Goodbye, there's no good when you're the one
Whose goodbye you swore would never come
And in my goodbye you're finding none.
I'm still bound to leave you,
I surely don't know how
My heart won't let me put you through
What my mind says should happen now.
I don't know where we'll go from here,
there may be no way to fly
And the cloud I'm in just makes it
all too clear that I can't leave you
With a bad goodbye.
Goodbye, easier said than done
Goodbye, there's no good when you're the one
Whose goodbye you swore would never come
And in my goodbye you're finding none.
How can we be so far between
Where we are and one more try
And any way I look,
I've only seen that I can't leave you
With a bad goodbye...
We've known that for awhile
I'm sure it's something I can't do
If I can't leave you with a smile
I don't know how far I'll have to go
'Til I'm sure those eyes won't cry
And in my mind I've left enough to know
That I can't leave you
With a bad goodbye.
Goodbye, easier said than done
Goodbye, there's no good when you're the one
Whose goodbye you swore would never come
And in my goodbye you're finding none.
I'm still bound to leave you,
I surely don't know how
My heart won't let me put you through
What my mind says should happen now.
I don't know where we'll go from here,
there may be no way to fly
And the cloud I'm in just makes it
all too clear that I can't leave you
With a bad goodbye.
Goodbye, easier said than done
Goodbye, there's no good when you're the one
Whose goodbye you swore would never come
And in my goodbye you're finding none.
How can we be so far between
Where we are and one more try
And any way I look,
I've only seen that I can't leave you
With a bad goodbye...
Back To Back Lyrics – Clint Black
Behind every good man stands a good woman
Though they might be looking a different way
While she's dealin' with one thing
I've got another thing comin'
If I'm lookin' at tomorrow, she'll be thinkin' 'bout yesterday.
Back to back, we face each other
Still together all alone
We'd be the last to turn to one another
But I know we'll make it together on our own.
[Instrumental]
Nobody could ever come between us
Or force our backs against the wall
Today we're tighter than I've ever seen us
Bending over backwards together, we could never fall.
Back to back, we face each other
Still together all alone
We'd be the last to turn to one another
But I know we'll make it together on our own.
Back to back we face each other
But I know we'll make it together on our own...
Though they might be looking a different way
While she's dealin' with one thing
I've got another thing comin'
If I'm lookin' at tomorrow, she'll be thinkin' 'bout yesterday.
Back to back, we face each other
Still together all alone
We'd be the last to turn to one another
But I know we'll make it together on our own.
[Instrumental]
Nobody could ever come between us
Or force our backs against the wall
Today we're tighter than I've ever seen us
Bending over backwards together, we could never fall.
Back to back, we face each other
Still together all alone
We'd be the last to turn to one another
But I know we'll make it together on our own.
Back to back we face each other
But I know we'll make it together on our own...
Half The Man Lyrics – Clint Black
She's every reason I take so much work off,
and every reason I take so much time at home.
Every single reason why I'm so much stronger.
And every reason I could never be alone.
[Chorus:]
Look at me, you'll see who I've found.
I'm beside myself whenever she's around.
Without her, You'd see a different man.
It's what she's makes of me, she's half the man I am.
When the rivers all run dry, she finds the water.
And when everything is dark, she finds the light.
And when it's time to fly, she's flying with me.
With her on the wing, we balance out just right.
[Chorus:]
I'm what she's made of me, she's half the man I am.
and every reason I take so much time at home.
Every single reason why I'm so much stronger.
And every reason I could never be alone.
[Chorus:]
Look at me, you'll see who I've found.
I'm beside myself whenever she's around.
Without her, You'd see a different man.
It's what she's makes of me, she's half the man I am.
When the rivers all run dry, she finds the water.
And when everything is dark, she finds the light.
And when it's time to fly, she's flying with me.
With her on the wing, we balance out just right.
[Chorus:]
I'm what she's made of me, she's half the man I am.
I'll Take Texas Lyrics – Clint Black
There's no reason I should go
When I really want to stay
There's no place that I know
I'd go to anyway
If ya ask me, I'll take Texas any day.
There's folks who travel 'round
Ain't no place they will stay
And never can be found
Anywhere but on their way
But you can find me here in Texas any day.
There's everything and more
Than you could hope to find
From the sandy beaches
To the mountains and the pines
My mind's got room to wander
But my heart will never stray
And you can find me here in Texas any day.
[Instrumental]
There's no reason I should go
And you really ought to stay
By now you've got to know
There's only one thing I could say
If ya ask me, I'll take Texas any day.
[Instrumental]
There's everything and more
Than you could hope to find
There's miles of smilin' faces
All just one of a kind
My mind's got room to wander
But my heart will never stray
And you can find me here in Texas
I'll be right here in Texas
If ya ask me, I'll take Texas any day...
When I really want to stay
There's no place that I know
I'd go to anyway
If ya ask me, I'll take Texas any day.
There's folks who travel 'round
Ain't no place they will stay
And never can be found
Anywhere but on their way
But you can find me here in Texas any day.
There's everything and more
Than you could hope to find
From the sandy beaches
To the mountains and the pines
My mind's got room to wander
But my heart will never stray
And you can find me here in Texas any day.
[Instrumental]
There's no reason I should go

Happiness Alone Lyrics – Clint Black
I think I'll go back down to New Orleans
Try to bury my travelin' bone
Unpredictable me, like I swore I would be
Nothing's ever written in stone
There's a knock on her door, is she here anymore
I guess me and the neighbors will see
If the one thing that I couldn't do without her
She couldn't do without me.
Could I leave her behind, go on losin' my mind
While the good times continue to roll
With this time on my hands, I can change all my plans
And it really wouldn't bother a soul
I can make all the rounds, paint all the towns
Do all that and more on my own
But a man can't survive on happiness alone.
Take a good look around, this is New Orleans
A free wheeler's got to feel right at home
But it's a hell of a leap, whether shallow or deep
That old river's gonna keep movin' on
Like that muddy Mississippi, she keeps pullin' me under
When you're in it, nothin' ever seems clear
I could stand on the bank just toss in my line
But there's way too many fish around here.
Could I leave 'em behind for the one on the line
Are the good times still gonna roll
And with this time on my hands, I can change all my plans
And it really wouldn't bother a soul
I can make all the rounds, paint all the towns
Do all that and more on my own
But a man can't survive on happiness alone...
Try to bury my travelin' bone
Unpredictable me, like I swore I would be
Nothing's ever written in stone
There's a knock on her door, is she here anymore
I guess me and the neighbors will see
If the one thing that I couldn't do without her
She couldn't do without me.
Could I leave her behind, go on losin' my mind

With this time on my hands, I can change all my plans
And it really wouldn't bother a soul

Tuckered Out Lyrics – Clint Black
I've seen more than a Little Texas,
And a Playboy always knows
A man does what he Wills as long
As he stays on his toes
He can Russell up a fortune,
Any man could strike it Rich
But I'm doing good to keep it Strait
And keep my wheels out of the ditch
Ain't no Foster for the Desert Rose,
The babblin' Brooks are Dunn
That Crystal ball won't even book me
One day in the Sun
I'm Haggard, worn and Waylon
From the bottom of my Restless Heart
Don't know Wy the Black cloud's tailin' me,
There seems to be no Parton from the dark
And I've had it to the Gills of knowin'
What the Nitty Gritty's all about
Bein' McEntired and Loveless
I can't Lovett if I'm all tuckered out
[Instrumental]
Well, I never meant to set out
Like a half-cocked Gatlin gun
No highway Head Hunter's
Gonna let this Rabbitt run
I ain't Raven 'bout The Ride,
I probably got no fate to Seal
If I can't roll through Alabama
Half Asleepin' At The Wheel
All my Paycheckes are like dried up Wells
And way too small to Cash
Or I'd find a roadside motel,
Lay some money down to Crash
I'm Haggard, worn and Waylon
From the bottom of my Restless Heart
Don't know Wy the Black cloud's tailin' me,
There seems to be no Parton from the dark
And I've had it to the Gills of knowin'
What the Nitty Gritty's all about
Bein' McEntired and Loveless
I can't Lovett if I'm all tuckered out.

We Tell Ourselves Lyrics – Clint Black
I oughta know the look in another's eyes
When there's something on their mind
I think I saw that look in a lover's eyes
They were looking into mine
Like we both had found the one we want
But found the one we wanted just quit trying
So we tell ourselves that what we found is what we meant to find
That's what we tell ourselves
You won't believe the things A heart could tell a mind
Somehow we sell ourselves on love
I just don't think I'll believe my heart this time
I oughta know the language
well I've heard me tell myself these things before
I finally made my mind up
My heart tells me to look for something more
Determined not to wind up wondering was she the one
Well, you never can be sure
[Chorus]
When there's something on their mind
I think I saw that look in a lover's eyes
They were looking into mine
Like we both had found the one we want
But found the one we wanted just quit trying
So we tell ourselves that what we found is what we meant to find
That's what we tell ourselves
You won't believe the things A heart could tell a mind
Somehow we sell ourselves on love
I just don't think I'll believe my heart this time
I oughta know the language
well I've heard me tell myself these things before
I finally made my mind up
My heart tells me to look for something more
Determined not to wind up wondering was she the one
Well, you never can be sure
[Chorus]
The Hard Way Lyrics – Clint Black
Funny thing about a mind
Lookin' for that brighter side
It's the only way that I can find
To let my feelings hide
But every now and then
I falter back on old memories
And I'm right back in love again
And back down on my knees.
[Chorus:]
And I'm finding out the hard way
There'll never be a time
When I don't think about you
And I'm finding out the hard way
At least here in my mind,
I won't go on without you
All the times I reminisce
I'm finally realizing this
Until it's gone it can't be missed
But I'm finding out the hard way.
Sure, I'm gonna make it through,
The sun'll overtake the night, again
Then it's out of my mind with you
And let another day back in
And for a while I'll carry on,
But what you said is surely comin' true
And although it might not last that long,
The times are not so few.
[Chorus:]
And I'm finding out the hard way
There'll never be a time
When I don't think about you
And I'm finding out the hard way
At least here in my mind,
I won't go on without you
All the times I reminisce
I'm finally realizing this
Until it's gone it can't be missed
But I'm finding out the hard way
I'm finding out the hard way...
Lookin' for that brighter side
It's the only way that I can find
To let my feelings hide
But every now and then
I falter back on old memories
And I'm right back in love again
And back down on my knees.
[Chorus:]
And I'm finding out the hard way
There'll never be a time
When I don't think about you
And I'm finding out the hard way
At least here in my mind,
I won't go on without you
All the times I reminisce
I'm finally realizing this
Until it's gone it can't be missed
But I'm finding out the hard way.
Sure, I'm gonna make it through,
The sun'll overtake the night, again
Then it's out of my mind with you
And let another day back in
And for a while I'll carry on,
But what you said is surely comin' true
And although it might not last that long,
The times are not so few.
[Chorus:]
And I'm finding out the hard way
There'll never be a time
When I don't think about you
And I'm finding out the hard way
At least here in my mind,
I won't go on without you
All the times I reminisce
I'm finally realizing this
Until it's gone it can't be missed
But I'm finding out the hard way
I'm finding out the hard way...
Something To Cry About Lyrics – Clint Black
You say your heart is in ruins
No way that it can get worse
I've already done what you're doing
And each time feels like the first.
You'll start to lose our of habit
You might even bet that you can't win
Maybe you just never really had it
And I've already lost it time and again.
[Chorus:]
You think you've got something to cry about
You say your heart's got scars that you can't even see
I'll give you something to cry about
'Cause all I've got is a hole where my heart used to be.
[Instrumental]
I've lost a long line of lovers
And I'd fall for more of the same
You can spend your lifetime looking for others
"Still looking" that's my middle name.
[Chorus:]
You think you've got something to cry about
You say your heart's got scars that you can't even see
I'll give you something to cry about
'Cause all I've got is a hole where my heart used to be.
[Chorus:]
You think you've got something to cry about
You say your heart's got scars that you can't even see
I'll give you something to cry about
'Cause all I've got is a hole where my heart used to be.
You think you've got something to cry about
I'll give you something to cry about
You think you've got something to cry about
I'll give you something to cry about...
No way that it can get worse
I've already done what you're doing
And each time feels like the first.
You'll start to lose our of habit
You might even bet that you can't win
Maybe you just never really had it
And I've already lost it time and again.
[Chorus:]
You think you've got something to cry about
You say your heart's got scars that you can't even see

Buying Time Lyrics – Clint Black
I've played the games, the masquerades
By the time the eleventh hour fades
You're bound to know that what I say is true
And I'm the one you're looking for
Every time you find that cheatin' door
I'll just keep pretending, I never knew.
[Chorus:]
But what are we in this for
When our heart are on the line
And if a heart could break
You're surely breaking mine
And if we fall to ruin
It wasn't my design
If I can have my way
There's no price I won't pay
To just keep buying time.
I'll have to say I have my doubts
But I'll give all till I give out
And I'll do anything to make you stay
But this could be part of the plan
Maybe we were dealt a losing hand
I'll have to let the cards fall where they may
[Chorus:]
But what are we in this for
When our heart are on the line
And if a heart could break
You're surely breaking mine
And if we fall to ruin
It wasn't my design
If I can have my way
There's no price I won't pay
To just keep buying time...
By the time the eleventh hour fades
You're bound to know that what I say is true
And I'm the one you're looking for
Every time you find that cheatin' door
I'll just keep pretending, I never knew.
[Chorus:]
But what are we in this for
When our heart are on the line
And if a heart could break
You're surely breaking mine
And if we fall to ruin
It wasn't my design
If I can have my way
There's no price I won't pay
To just keep buying time.
I'll have to say I have my doubts
But I'll give all till I give out
And I'll do anything to make you stay
But this could be part of the plan
Maybe we were dealt a losing hand
I'll have to let the cards fall where they may
[Chorus:]
But what are we in this for
When our heart are on the line
And if a heart could break
You're surely breaking mine
And if we fall to ruin
It wasn't my design
If I can have my way
There's no price I won't pay
To just keep buying time...
When My Ship Comes In Lyrics – Clint Black
No sun on the Rockies, not even the light of day
I feel that old cabin fever coming on
But I know where I'll be when lady luck finally blows my way
She'll put the wind in my sails and I'll be gone
It won't be long before my ship comes in
Gonna sail right out of Colorado
Catch a ride on a warm trade wind to Puerta
No-One-Knows
She'll find me waiting when my ship comes in
Gonna board and go whichever way the wind blows
I'll be off to find myself once again in Puerta
No-One-Knows When my ship comes in
Maybe I'm only dreaming but it sure seems real
Somehow the wind doesn't chill quite to the bone
Or could it just be the fever I'm running on an uneven keel
Not losing sight of why I'm up here alone
[Chorus]
It won't be long before my ship comes in
She'll find me waiting when my ship comes in
It won't be long before my ship comes in
She'll find me waiting when my ship comes in
When my ship comes in
I feel that old cabin fever coming on
But I know where I'll be when lady luck finally blows my way
She'll put the wind in my sails and I'll be gone
It won't be long before my ship comes in
Gonna sail right out of Colorado
Catch a ride on a warm trade wind to Puerta
No-One-Knows
She'll find me waiting when my ship comes in
Gonna board and go whichever way the wind blows
I'll be off to find myself once again in Puerta
No-One-Knows When my ship comes in
Maybe I'm only dreaming but it sure seems real
Somehow the wind doesn't chill quite to the bone
Or could it just be the fever I'm running on an uneven keel
Not losing sight of why I'm up here alone
[Chorus]
It won't be long before my ship comes in
She'll find me waiting when my ship comes in
It won't be long before my ship comes in
She'll find me waiting when my ship comes in
When my ship comes in
A Woman Has Her Way Lyrics – Clint Black
In a world of confusion I follow my heart
Beyond all my shadows of doubt
Way past the illusions a true work of art
Just when I had it all figured out.
And you may not understand, it's a mystery to me
Love a lady a lifetime, you still might not see
There's no use in trying, you won't have any say
A man has his will but a woman has her way.
It can't be done with mirrors, there's no slight of hand
And nothing her perfume could do
But it's something much bigger than mere mortal man
That can make someone special for you.
And you may not understand, it's a mystery to me
Love a lady a lifetime, you still might not see
There's no use in trying, you won't have any say
A man has his will but a woman has her
Man has his will but a woman has her way...
Beyond all my shadows of doubt
Way past the illusions a true work of art
Just when I had it all figured out.
And you may not understand, it's a mystery to me
Love a lady a lifetime, you still might not see
There's no use in trying, you won't have any say
A man has his will but a woman has her way.
It can't be done with mirrors, there's no slight of hand
And nothing her perfume could do
But it's something much bigger than mere mortal man
That can make someone special for you.
And you may not understand, it's a mystery to me
Love a lady a lifetime, you still might not see
There's no use in trying, you won't have any say
A man has his will but a woman has her
Man has his will but a woman has her way...
There Was Never A Train Lyrics – Clint Black
Given up on travelin'
It's driving me insane
Riding alone on a midnight train.
Now a mind can wonder
And that's far from being free
'Cause when that lonesome sunset whisle blows
This is where I'll be.
I hopped a westbound for San Antone
From there to Santa Fe
And it's a thousand miles from there to home
And there's a thousand things to say.
About a man bound to ramble
And a dream he's got to lose
That'll break this fever, set him free
And bring him home to you.
Somewhere I slipped off track
But the world keeps going by
But there never was a train
That couldn't try.
There'll be nobody waiting
My goodbyes are too long gone
From that moment at the station
When I left from right to wrong.
But now I finally nearly made it
It was a long uphill climb
To right back to where I started from
But I think I can this time.
Somewhere I slipped off track
But the world keeps going by
But there never was a train
That couldn't try.
Somewhere I slipped off track
I was thinking I could fly
But there never was a train
That couldn't try...
It's driving me insane
Riding alone on a midnight train.
Now a mind can wonder
And that's far from being free
'Cause when that lonesome sunset whisle blows
This is where I'll be.
I hopped a westbound for San Antone
From there to Santa Fe
And it's a thousand miles from there to home
And there's a thousand things to say.
About a man bound to ramble
And a dream he's got to lose
That'll break this fever, set him free
And bring him home to you.
Somewhere I slipped off track
But the world keeps going by
But there never was a train
That couldn't try.
There'll be nobody waiting
My goodbyes are too long gone
From that moment at the station
When I left from right to wrong.
But now I finally nearly made it
It was a long uphill climb
To right back to where I started from
But I think I can this time.
Somewhere I slipped off track
But the world keeps going by
But there never was a train
That couldn't try.
Somewhere I slipped off track
I was thinking I could fly
But there never was a train
That couldn't try...
The Good Old Days Lyrics – Clint Black
He still likes the bar room's
Dim-lit, smoky atmosphere
The different kinds of perfume,
Conversations he overhears
He's just one of many winding down
Or winding up the night
The only way he knows to let loose
Is to hold on tight.
[Chorus:]
And he'll never lose that hold
He'll never change his ways
The good times won't grow old
These are the good old days.
He's got no broken romance
That sent him wondering way back when
He carries the torch for no one,
That's the way it's always been
He's just one of the chosen few
Who won't push or tow that line
He knows he'd only lose his heart,
He'd never lose his mind.
[Chorus:]
Oh, And he'll never lose that hold
He'll never change his ways
The good times won't grow old
These are the good old days.
[Chorus:]
Oh, And he'll never lose that hold
He'll never change his ways
The good times won't grow old
These are the good old days.
These are the good old days...
Dim-lit, smoky atmosphere
The different kinds of perfume,
Conversations he overhears
He's just one of many winding down
Or winding up the night
The only way he knows to let loose
Is to hold on tight.
[Chorus:]
And he'll never lose that hold
He'll never change his ways
The good times won't grow old
These are the good old days.
He's got no broken romance
That sent him wondering way back when
He carries the torch for no one,
That's the way it's always been
He's just one of the chosen few
Who won't push or tow that line
He knows he'd only lose his heart,
He'd never lose his mind.
[Chorus:]
Oh, And he'll never lose that hold
He'll never change his ways
The good times won't grow old
These are the good old days.
[Chorus:]
Oh, And he'll never lose that hold
He'll never change his ways
The good times won't grow old
These are the good old days.
These are the good old days...
Burn One Down Lyrics – Clint Black
I guess you're off to have your fun
Another ending just begun
And I know what I don't see Really shouldn't bother me
So go and have yourself a ball
You'll be at no one's beck and call
And with that fire in your eyes
Another lover's moon will rise
And someone else will take the fall
And that's just the way you are,
I've known all along
Some candles always burn even when the night is gone
But the strongest of flames won't burn eternally
When you find another friend who'll light your candle up again
You can burn one down for mejavascript:void(0)
So you don't matter anymore
I'll convince myself, I'm sure As if I give a damn
That's just the way I am
So go on and pour yourself some wine
With who'll ever spend your time
'Cause anyone can see you won't be crying over me
And you never were that kind
[Chorus]
Another ending just begun
And I know what I don't see Really shouldn't bother me
So go and have yourself a ball
You'll be at no one's beck and call
And with that fire in your eyes
Another lover's moon will rise
And someone else will take the fall
And that's just the way you are,
I've known all along
Some candles always burn even when the night is gone
But the strongest of flames won't burn eternally
When you find another friend who'll light your candle up again
You can burn one down for mejavascript:void(0)
So you don't matter anymore
I'll convince myself, I'm sure As if I give a damn
That's just the way I am
So go on and pour yourself some wine
With who'll ever spend your time
'Cause anyone can see you won't be crying over me
And you never were that kind
[Chorus]
Wake Up Yesterday Lyrics – Clint Black
All in just a moment my whole life passed before me
In just that time it left me cold and numb
Lying in the darkness like there's nowhere else to be
Wondering if there's nothing more to come.
Curiosity compels me and I open up my eyes
Like another day the night is gone again
The natural conclusion I'm about to realize
This is the beginning or the end.
There's a light at the end of the tunnel I can see
Now, I'm not so sure that's the way
I still might find a way to change
Where I'll be bound tomorrow
But I'm never gonna wake up yesterday.
There's no uneasy feeling and no disbelieving
This is something good, there's got to be a sign
Back there in the darkness I see nothing I'd be leaving
Why don't I look back on anything as mine.
Am I looking at tomorrow or is it back the other way
Or is where I am where I'm supposed to be
A voice of reassurance says it's just another day
But the voice inside my head don't sound like me.
There's a light at the end of the tunnel I can see
Now I'm not so sure that's the way
I still might find a way to change
Where I'll be bound tomorrow
But I'm never gonna wake up yesterday.
There's a light at the end of the tunnel I can see
That I'm never gonna wake up yesterday
No, I'm never gonna wake up yesterday
No, I'm never gonna wake up...
In just that time it left me cold and numb
Lying in the darkness like there's nowhere else to be
Wondering if there's nothing more to come.
Curiosity compels me and I open up my eyes
Like another day the night is gone again
The natural conclusion I'm about to realize
This is the beginning or the end.
There's a light at the end of the tunnel I can see
Now, I'm not so sure that's the way
I still might find a way to change
Where I'll be bound tomorrow
But I'm never gonna wake up yesterday.
There's no uneasy feeling and no disbelieving
This is something good, there's got to be a sign
Back there in the darkness I see nothing I'd be leaving
Why don't I look back on anything as mine.
Am I looking at tomorrow or is it back the other way
Or is where I am where I'm supposed to be
A voice of reassurance says it's just another day
But the voice inside my head don't sound like me.
There's a light at the end of the tunnel I can see
Now I'm not so sure that's the way
I still might find a way to change
Where I'll be bound tomorrow
But I'm never gonna wake up yesterday.
There's a light at the end of the tunnel I can see
That I'm never gonna wake up yesterday
No, I'm never gonna wake up yesterday
No, I'm never gonna wake up...
Put Yourself In My Shoes Lyrics – Clint Black
Your mind is made up, you won't even try
You didn't even cry, this time
You say that we, could never see, eye to eye
And one of us just must be blind.
We have our differences
We're still the same
We see, just what we want to see
But you take a second look.
And maybe things wouldn't seem the same
If you could see, what you mean to me.
Put yourself in my shoes
Walk a mile for me
You know, I'll put myself in your shoes
Maybe then we'd see
That if you put yourself in my shoes
You'd have some sympathy
And if I could only put myself in your shoes
You know, I'd walk right back to me.
[Instrumental]
You're gonna keep walkin'
You're gonna pass me by
You said you don't even care
But I could always recognize a real good-bye
And I know, your heart's not there.
We've have our differences
We're still the same
We just hear only what we want to hear
Now, I'm head over heels, I'm in the lost and found
It's a cryin' shame
I thought we made the perfect pair
Put yourself in my shoes
Walk a while, walk that mile for me
I'll put myself in your shoes
Maybe then we'd see, Ohh
That if you put yourself in my shoes
You'd have some sympathy for me
And if I could only put myself in your shoes
You know, I'd walk right back to me
You know, I'd walk right back to me
You know, I'd walk, I'd walk right back to me...
You didn't even cry, this time
You say that we, could never see, eye to eye
And one of us just must be blind.
We have our differences
We're still the same
We see, just what we want to see
But you take a second look.
And maybe things wouldn't seem the same
If you could see, what you mean to me.
Put yourself in my shoes
Walk a mile for me
You know, I'll put myself in your shoes
Maybe then we'd see
That if you put yourself in my shoes
You'd have some sympathy
And if I could only put myself in your shoes
You know, I'd walk right back to me.
[Instrumental]
You're gonna keep walkin'
You're gonna pass me by
You said you don't even care
But I could always recognize a real good-bye
And I know, your heart's not there.
We've have our differences
We're still the same
We just hear only what we want to hear
Now, I'm head over heels, I'm in the lost and found
It's a cryin' shame
I thought we made the perfect pair
Put yourself in my shoes
Walk a while, walk that mile for me
I'll put myself in your shoes
Maybe then we'd see, Ohh
That if you put yourself in my shoes
You'd have some sympathy for me
And if I could only put myself in your shoes
You know, I'd walk right back to me
You know, I'd walk right back to me
You know, I'd walk, I'd walk right back to me...
The Gulf Of Mexico Lyrics – Clint Black
The Texas coastline hold her close
Just like a lady
And in their time they've
Weathered a storm or two.
The river feed her waters
Like I feed your memory.
The deeper I go the more I'm turning blue.
The sandy beaches drift in time
And the changing tide I know
Won't bring me back to yesterday
And the Gulf of Mexico.
The sails out on the water
Will come take you away.
When your ship comes in
I know its time to go
And the waves along the seawall
Tell me nothings here to stay
And no man is an island
But I'm still all alone.
I'm weighing anchors from the past
As the south winds start to blow
Sailing out of yesterday
And the Gulf of Mexico.
I'll be sailing out of yesterday
And the Gulf of Mexico...
Just like a lady
And in their time they've
Weathered a storm or two.
The river feed her waters
Like I feed your memory.
The deeper I go the more I'm turning blue.
The sandy beaches drift in time
And the changing tide I know
Won't bring me back to yesterday
And the Gulf of Mexico.
The sails out on the water
Will come take you away.
When your ship comes in
I know its time to go
And the waves along the seawall
Tell me nothings here to stay
And no man is an island
But I'm still all alone.
I'm weighing anchors from the past
As the south winds start to blow
Sailing out of yesterday
And the Gulf of Mexico.
I'll be sailing out of yesterday
And the Gulf of Mexico...
One More Payment Lyrics – Clint Black
Ain't that the way the luck goes
Seems like it never can be found
Break my back to make those bank notes
Payin' on an almost always broken down
Fix that car nine ways to Sunday
And it won't start again when Monday rolls around
Ain't that the way the rent goes
Seems like it's never goin' down
And that banker's bound to foreclose
At this rate, I'll lose my interest in this town
Paint the walls mend the windows
'Bout the time the roof comes crumblin' to the ground
I've been footin' the bill for some time
Stretchin' my credit out of line
Well I may not get ahead but now I won't be far behind
I've got one more payment and it's mine
We're gonna swing it Ain't that the way the heart goes
Seems they just attack without a sign
My mind's been on vacation And my body's been workin' overtime
But I've done all that I can do
There's just one more balance due before it's mine
I've been footin' the bill for some time
Step by step and line by dotted line
Well I haven't bought the farm yet
But I'm not that far behind
I've got one more payment and it's mine
One more payment and it's mine
One more payment and it's mine
One more
One more
One more
Seems like it never can be found
Break my back to make those bank notes
Payin' on an almost always broken down
Fix that car nine ways to Sunday
And it won't start again when Monday rolls around
Ain't that the way the rent goes
Seems like it's never goin' down
And that banker's bound to foreclose
At this rate, I'll lose my interest in this town
Paint the walls mend the windows
'Bout the time the roof comes crumblin' to the ground
I've been footin' the bill for some time
Stretchin' my credit out of line
Well I may not get ahead but now I won't be far behind
I've got one more payment and it's mine
We're gonna swing it Ain't that the way the heart goes
Seems they just attack without a sign
My mind's been on vacation And my body's been workin' overtime
But I've done all that I can do
There's just one more balance due before it's mine
I've been footin' the bill for some time
Step by step and line by dotted line
Well I haven't bought the farm yet
But I'm not that far behind
I've got one more payment and it's mine
One more payment and it's mine
One more payment and it's mine
One more
One more
One more
Where Are You Now Lyrics – Clint Black
Maybe I took for granted You'd be around
To pick me up on my way down
I thought my feet were planted Firmly on the ground
'Til one day my whole world came unwound
And like a ball of yarn Kept neatly on a spool
You held the life together Of this broken-hearted fool
And what once was the exception
Now seems to be the rule
And there's a burnin' question
A fire in my mind
You always had the answers The ones I couldn't find
So all I'm askin' Is where are you now?
What Father Time would sell me I'd take it all
If only you'd come back around
But then if time should spell me
Well I might take the call
But there's no way of knowin' where I'm bound
So here comes another Fine mess I've got into
And if I knew which way to turn
I'd still turn to you So if everything is said and done
What am I supposed to do?
And that's the burnin' question On fire in my mind
You always had the answers for me Time after time
So all I'm askin' Is where are you now?
All I'm askin' Is where are you now?
To pick me up on my way down
I thought my feet were planted Firmly on the ground
'Til one day my whole world came unwound
And like a ball of yarn Kept neatly on a spool
You held the life together Of this broken-hearted fool
And what once was the exception
Now seems to be the rule
And there's a burnin' question
A fire in my mind
You always had the answers The ones I couldn't find
So all I'm askin' Is where are you now?
What Father Time would sell me I'd take it all
If only you'd come back around
But then if time should spell me
Well I might take the call
But there's no way of knowin' where I'm bound
So here comes another Fine mess I've got into
And if I knew which way to turn
I'd still turn to you So if everything is said and done
What am I supposed to do?
And that's the burnin' question On fire in my mind
You always had the answers for me Time after time
So all I'm askin' Is where are you now?
All I'm askin' Is where are you now?
This Night Life Lyrics – Clint Black
Dawn patrol is makin' the rounds
Been goin' at it since the sun went down
I'll be sleepin' it off from
Another night of tyin' one on.
The sun is risin' and I'm layin' low
Been compromisin' my get up and go
And I'll be burnin' it up
Till both ends of the candle are gone.
And I've seen too many smoke filled bars
Seems like they're never gonna set me free
You might not see the scars
But this nightlife's beatin' the daylights out of me.
[Instrumental]
Out on the town
Like the night before
Just when I thought
I couldn't go one more.
The sun sets down
I get up and do it again
Night lights are callin'
And I can't turn 'em down.
I've been revolvin' on
This merry-go-round for so long
And know where tomorrow starts
And when today'll end.
And I've seen too many smoke filled bars
Seems like they're never gonna set me free
You might not see the scars
But this nightlife's beatin' the daylights out of me.
[Instrumental]
Lord knows, I've seen too many smoke filled bars
Seems like they're never gonna set me free
You might not see the scars
But this nightlife's beatin' the daylights out of me.
Lord, this nightlife's beatin' the daylights out of me.
Lord, this nightlife's beatin' the daylights out of me...
Been goin' at it since the sun went down
I'll be sleepin' it off from
Another night of tyin' one on.
The sun is risin' and I'm layin' low
Been compromisin' my get up and go
And I'll be burnin' it up
Till both ends of the candle are gone.
And I've seen too many smoke filled bars
Seems like they're never gonna set me free
You might not see the scars
But this nightlife's beatin' the daylights out of me.
[Instrumental]
Out on the town
Like the night before
Just when I thought
I couldn't go one more.
The sun sets down
I get up and do it again
Night lights are callin'
And I can't turn 'em down.
I've been revolvin' on
This merry-go-round for so long
And know where tomorrow starts
And when today'll end.
And I've seen too many smoke filled bars
Seems like they're never gonna set me free
You might not see the scars
But this nightlife's beatin' the daylights out of me.
[Instrumental]
Lord knows, I've seen too many smoke filled bars
Seems like they're never gonna set me free
You might not see the scars
But this nightlife's beatin' the daylights out of me.
Lord, this nightlife's beatin' the daylights out of me.
Lord, this nightlife's beatin' the daylights out of me...
