The Old Man Lyrics – Clint Black

Off he goes
Down the road
Who knows how many
He's been down before.

With all the years
He's comes to know
Does he wonder if he's
Gonna see one more.

Hanging on to yesterdays
Til'too many tomorrow's are today
With all the turns the road will bring
Well, a young man's gotta wait and see.

Will I ever be the old man
Whose words young ones ponder on
Will I ever take a lady's hand
And will I ever be the old man
Who finds that he's too far gone
Will, there come a day when I can't stand
Am I gonna live that long?

Reaching out
For days to come
Where an old man walks
A young man runs.

The road I know
Is bound to end
Still I can't help wonderin'
Where and when.

Will I ever be the old man
Whose words young ones ponder on
Will I ever take a lady's hand
And will I ever be the old man
Who finds that he's too far gone
Will there come a day when I can't stand
Tell me am I gonna live that long?..

Loving Blind Lyrics – Clint Black

Well I sit here all alone
No one's gonna do me wrong tonight
It seems I've been through it all
And there's no one I could call to get it right
And everywhere I go
Everyone seems so settled in
And sure of where they're going
Well I don't know what I need
Since I've been freed I'm a horse without a rider
And there's no one left to take the lead

I've been loving blind
Loving every heart I could call mine
I've been loving blind
So sure there was something I could find
But I just couldn't see
There was nothing there for me

Now there's a smile on my face
No there's no trace of the pain
I know I've been through it all
And I know those tears won't fall again
But oh the times I thought
Someone's heart I'd caught
Well, I was fooled oh and
I regret I was so naive
Oh and I'd believe them when they'd tell me
That's as good as love can get

And I've been loving blind
Loving every heart I could call mine
And I've been loving blind
So sure there was something I could find
But I just couldn't see There was nothin' there for me

Muddy Water Lyrics – Clint Black

Out into the moonlight
I could never fail
Down by the turkey creek
To find that old trail.

The river she's a flowin'
I'm rememberin' the night
Before I knew she was goin'
She was clean outta sight.

[Chorus:]
That muddy water keeps on rollin'
Like the buffalo, she just keeps movin' on
From that bayou town my heart was stolen
Like the water rollin' out with the tide
She was here and gone.

[Instrumental]

There ain't no magic in the moonlight
No feelin' in the wind
But I know the stars are just as bright
Somewhere around the bend
She takes a bit of everthin'
Just which ever way she flows
Now a thought is all she brings
And that's the way it goes.

[Chorus:]
That muddy water keeps on rollin'
Like the buffalo, she just keeps movin' on
From that bayou town my heart was stolen
Like the water rollin' out with the tide
She was here and gone...

A Heart Like Mine Lyrics – Clint Black

On a barstool like a damn fool
Hoping she won't think I'm to much older
Just another come on line
To a girl like you in a place like this.

And on the dance floor wanting so much more
I crossed that line and got that cold shoulder
You probably think I'm full of it
But I don't think you'll ever find such emptiness.

This heart of mine is just looking for
A heart like mine who's just looking for
What it can find
Still looking for a heart like mine.

I'm not the only one who's lonely
I find that feeling beating all around me
But with just a night or two
I'd know if you're the one.

But now that shoulders getting colder
And soon you'll turn and leave me like you found me
Still way out of line, one thing on my mind
And all alone.

This heart of mine is just looking for
A heart like mine who's just looking for
What it can find
Still looking for a heart like mine.

[Instrumental]

This heart of mine is just looking for
A heart like mine who's just looking for
A heart like mine who's just looking for
A heart like mine...

Goodnight Loving Lyrics – Clint Black

Ridin' against the wind in east New Mexico
His skin is dry and worn as the Texas plains
He's headed where the air is thinand the cold blue northers blow
Up throw the raton pass but he'll have to beat the early snow.

The winter of '64 was a great many years ago
When a young man went away for the rebel cause
And he was branded by the war and the only life he'd know
Was lookin' over his shoulder saddle bound and layin' low.

Now there's a man on the goodnight loving
Like too many other men out on the trail
Who found the hard way when the pushing comes to shoving
He'd go six feet under before he'd go to jail.

[Instrumental]

Now there's a place just north of here where they say the outlaws go
Where a man can leave his name and past behind
And every now and then you'll hear he's gone the way of the buffalo
And that he finally made the pass but he didn't beat the early snow.

Now there's a man on the goodnight loving
Like too many other men out on the trail
Who found the hard way when the pushing comes to shoving
He'd go six feet under before he'd go to jail.

He'd go six feet under before he'd go to jail...

Straight From The Factory Lyrics – Clint Black

Straight from the factory
We were made for each other
One of those things that's meant to be
Straight from the factory
Nothin' less than exactly
You're the only lock that's made to fit my key.

Many parts and many hearts
Been mismatched before
Still they make delivery.
Some folks send 'em back
And never find what they need
But babe my satisfaction's guaranteed.

Straight from the factory
We were made for each other
One of those things that's meant to be
Straight from the factory
Nothin' less than exactly
You're the only lock that's made to fit my key.

[Instrumental]

Straight from the factory
We were made for each other
One of those things that's meant to be
Straight from the factory
Nothin' less than exactly
You're the only lock that's made to fit my key.

Sittin' tight and sittin' proud
Waitin' on a shove
Passers by just keep on passin' by
I'll admit I did a bit of passin' by myself
Til' I found a perfect fit
And now I'm tied.

Straight from the factory
We were made for each other
Perfect match as anyone can see
Straight from the factory
Nothin' less than exactly
You're the only lock that's made to fit my key.

You're the only lock that's made to fit my key...

A Better Man Lyrics – Clint Black

What do you say when it's over?
I don't know if I should say anything at all
One day we're rollin' in the clover
Next thing you know we take the fall

Still, I think about the years since I first met you
And the way it might have been without you here
And I don't know if words from me can still upset you
But I've just gotta make this memory stand clear

I know I'm leavin' here a better man
For knowin' you this way
Things I couldn't do before, now I think I can
And I'm leavin here a better man

I guess I always knew I couldn't hold you
But I'd never be the one to set you free
Just like some old nursery rhyme your mama told you
You still believe in some old meant-to-be

[Repeat chorus]

Still, I'm leavin' here a better man...

[Repeat chorus]

Nobody's Home Lyrics – Clint Black

Move slowly to my dresser drawers
Put my blue jeans on
Find my cowboy boots,
my button down
Strap my timepiece on my arm
Grab my billfold, my pocket change
Just a mindless old routine
Then it's out the door and down the street
But it's not really me I still comb my hair the same
Still like the same cologne And I still drive that pickup truck
That the same old bank still owns
But since you left, everybody says I'm not the guy they've known

The lights are on, but nobody's home
Cup of coffee in the morning
Just food for the brain
But I've been numb since our last goodbye
I haven't felt a thing But now there's pains in my head
And pains in my chest
And I think I'm losing my hair I'm a half a man with half a mind
To think you didn't care

[Repeat chorus]

Walkin' Away Lyrics – Clint Black

Walkin' away I saw a side of you
That I knew was there all along
And that someday I'd say goodbye to you
'Cause one right can still make two wrong

Not for each other, not from the start
The difference was day and night
My finest hour spent here with you in the dark
Was just before I saw the light

It's the people who want love and
the people who need love
Who find love on the way
I'll be lookin' for someone 'til I find the right one
Then I won't be walkin away

Now that I know what I'm tryin' to find
There's only one place it could be
So I'm lookin' ahead, I've stopped lookin' behind
For someone who's lookin' for me

It's the people who want love and
the people who need love
Who find love on the way
I'll be lookin' for someone 'til I find the right one
Then I won't be walkin away

You're Gonna Leave Me Again Lyrics – Clint Black

Just like a rerun movie
I see that scene again
That feeling shoots right through me
'Cause this time I know the end.

And I've seen it played so many times
And I've watched it frame by frame
And I don't have to guess who loses
And I know who'll feel the pain.

You're gonna leave me again
Just like you did the time before
This is the start of the end
The end of me when you walk out that door.

Think I'll go down to the picture show
See if they're playin' somethin' new
Maybe one with a happy ending
And I'll pretend It's me and you.

But I know that it's just make believe
So I won't even try
To tell myself that you're not gonna leave
That you'll never say goodbye

You're gonna leave me again
Just like you did the time before
This is the start of the end
The end of me when you walk out that door...

[Instrumental to fade]

I'll Be Gone Lyrics – Clint Black

Since before I learned to walk, I've been running
And I could always see the light before the dawn
Somewhere, someone won't even see me coming
And before the see me going, I'll be gone
Now you've got questions I don't care to answer
And I don't get off on leading people on
And It's safe to say I'm no second chancer
And the chances are I don't know right from wrong.

You could never change my mind
And I won't change my ways
And from the start the lines have all been drawn
That I'll just leave you behind
Forgetting all my yesterdays
I said before you see me going
I'll be gone.

[Instrumental]

You could never change my mind
And I won't change my ways
And from the start the lines have all been drawn
That I'll just leave you behind
Forgetting all my yesterdays
I said before you see me going
I'll be gone.

I said before you see me going
I'll be gone...

Nothing's New's Lyrics – Clint Black

I spent my lifetime wishin' the waitress would come around
Tellin' jokes and shootin' pool on the other side of town
When the whistle blows at five o'clock there's only one place I'll be found
Down at Ernie's icehouse liftin' longnecks to that good old country sound
And talkin' 'bout the good old times Braggin' on how it used to be
But I've worn out the same old lines

And now it seems nothing's news to me
There's nothin' like a steel guitar cryin' in the night
There's nothin' like a sawdust floor and a good old friendly fight
I'd finally find my way back home and you'd patch up my face
But that was another time and another place

[Repeat chorus]

And now we're talkin' 'bout the good old times...
I wonder how I came to be the know-it-all I am
And how the world ever got used to me

[Repeat chorus]

Winding Down Lyrics – Clint Black

As past times go I guess I've seen some good
It's not always the best ones come and stay
There's a crowd that thinks there is one, and it should
'Cause they always seem to spend theirs the some old way.

And they call it winding down
The six to ten crowd, smoky bars
Notes on napkins and business cards
Describe the days events and go on home.

And it's likely they won't drown
The price goes up and one more round
They close up all the bars downtown
As the singer plays one last rip roaring song.

It seems like the same ole motions every night
He wants to hear a golden oldie to take him back
And I'll play out all the emotions I can't fight
Relieve the tensions and hope they're on the right track.

And they call it winding down
The six to ten crowd, smoky bars
Notes on napkins and business cards
Describe the days events and go on home.

And it's likely they won't drown
The price goes up and one more round
They close up all the bars downtown
As the singer plays one last rip roaring song.

Honky tonk heroes are turn the page
And the books are closed tonight
'Cause everybody knows you gottta leave'em up
So they'll go home feeling right.

You gotta leave'em up
So they'll go home feeling right...

Killin' Time Lyrics – Clint Black

You were the first thing that I thought of
When I thought I drank you off my mind
When I get lost in the liquor
You're the only one I find
And if I did the things I oughta
You still would not be mine

So I'll keep a tight grip on the bottle
Gettin' loose and killin' time
This killin' time is killin' me
Drinking myself blind thinkin' I won't see
That if I cross that line and they bury me
I just might find I'll be killin' time for eternity

I don't know nothin' 'bout tomorrow
I've been lost in yesterday
I've spent all my life just dying For a love that passed away
And if there's an end to all my sorrow
And this is the only price I'll pay I'll be a happy man when I go
And I can't wait another day

[Repeat chorus]

Live And Learn Lyrics – Clint Black

I've tried livin' it risky
Relied on women and whiskey
To chase my blues, turn my nights to days
First rage only a pastime
With age more than a lifetime
Of day in, day out the world just turns away.

[Chorus:]
Everybody knows you live and you learn
But the lessons just go on and on
I guess we're gonna have to wait
For all the pages to turn
To find out if it's right or if it's wrong
You live and learn.

I've stopped lookin' for questions
I've got only suggestions
Black and white can only turn to grey
In time we're all gonna find out
Our times all gonna wind out
And just count down until judgement day.

[Chorus:]
Everybody knows you live and you learn
But the lessons just go on and on
I guess we're gonna have to wait
For all the pages to turn
To find out if it's right or if it's wrong
You live and learn.

You live and learn...

Easy For Me To Say Lyrics – Clint Black (duet with Lisa Hartman Black)

Some won't find the words
More won't find a way
Never too often heard
You know it's easy for me to say
The thing you need to hear
Way more than every day
Can never be too clear
You know it's easy for me to say

[Chorus]
I love you
Quiet and loud
Alone in a crowd
I love you
In a thousand little ways
I'm learning to say
And I learn something new every day
I love you
It's easy for me to say

It always sounds the same
Music to my ears
Leaves nothing to explain
You know it's easy for me to hear
The phrase that we all know
Nothing it can't outweigh
Take it wherever we go
You know it's easy for me to say

[Repeat Chorus]

[Bridge]
I love you
No poet ever found a better way
You know it's easy for me to say
I love you
I'll try to say it more every day
You know it's easy for me to say

I'll Have To Say I Love You In A Song Lyrics – Clint Black

Well, I know it's kinda late.
I hope I didn't wake you.
But what I gotta say can't wait,
I know you'd understand.

Every time I tried to tell you,
The words just came out wrong,
So I'll have to say I love you in a song.

Yeah, I know it's kinda strange.
Every time I'm near you,
I just run out of things to say.
I know you'd understand.

Every time I try to tell you,
The words just came out wrong,
So I'll have to say I love you in a song.

Every time the time is right,
All the words just came out wrong,
So I'll have to say I love you in a song

Yeah I know it's kinda late.
Hope I didn't wake you,
But there's something I just gotta say.
Know you'd understand.

Every time I try to tell you,
The words just came out wrong
So I'll have to say I love you in a song.

Like The Rain lyrics - clint black

I never liked the rain until I walked through it with you
Every thunder cloud that came was one more I might not get through
On the darkest day there's always light and now I see it too
But I never liked the rain until I walked through it with you
I hear it falling in the night and filling up my mind
All the heaven's rivers come to light and I see it all unwind
I hear it talking through the trees and on the window pane
when I hear it I just can't believe I never liked the rain

Like the rain I have fallen for you and I know just why you
Liked the rain always calling for you I'm falling for you now
Just like the rain

When the cloud is rolling over thunder striking me
It's as bright as lightning and I wonder why I couldn't see
That it's always good and when the flood is gone we still remain
Guess I've known all along I just belong here with you falling

Like the rain I have fallen for you and I know just why you
Liked the rain always calling for you, I'm falling for you now
Just like the rain I have fallen for you
I'm falling for you know just like the rain

And when the night falls on our better days
And we're looking to the sky
For the winds to take us high above the plains
I know that we'll find better ways to look into the eye
of the storms that will be calling
Forever we'll be falling

Like the rain I have fallen for you, and I know just why you
Like the rain always calling for you, I'm falling for you now just
Like the rain I have fallen for you and I know just why you
Like the rain always calling for you, I'm falling for you now just
Like the rain
Like the rain
Like the rain
Like the rain
