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
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
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

But a man can't survive on happiness alone.

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.

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 someone else will take the fall
And that's just the way you are,
I've known all along

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]

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?..
[Instrumental to fade]
Down the road

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
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...
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...
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...
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...
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.

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]
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]
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
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 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...
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]
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...
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]
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...
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
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.
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
...
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
