Outside Intro (To Galaxy Song) Lyrics – Clint Black (feat. Eric Idle)

When ya feeling inside out and insecure.
hmm hmm hmm
When life keeps getting you down.
When all lifes daily worries, hurry through your head.
You don't want to even get up.
You just ly around in bed.

When ya feel like ya just can't take it anymore
I can't take it.
And you wonder what on Earth it is all for.
Your love lifes on a war zone, your Tv's on the blink
It's enough to drive a drinking man,
To stop and take a think...

Galaxy Song Lyrics – Clint Black

Just remember that you standing
On a planet that's evolving,
Revolving at 900 miles an hour.
It's orbiting at 19 miles a second, so it's reckoned,
A sun that is the source of all our power.
The Sun and you and me
And all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day.
In an outer spiral orb, at 40,000 miles an hour,
Of the Galaxy we call the Milky Way.

Our Galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
It's a 100,000 light years side to side
It bulges in the middle 16,000 light years thick,
But out by us it's just 3,000 light years wide.
We're 30,000 light years from galactic central point.
We go round every 200,000,000 years.
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding Universe.

[Instrumental]

Our Universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whiz
As fast as it can go, the speed of light you know, 12,000,000 miles a minute,
And that's the fastest speed there is!
So, remember when you're feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth.
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
'Cause I'm afraid that we've been cheated here on Earth.

When I Said I Do Lyrics – Clint Black (duet with Lisa Hartman Black)

These times are trouble
And these times are good
There always gonna be
They rise and they fall
We take them all the way that we should
Together you and me
Forsaking them all

Deep in the night
And by the light of day
It always looks the same
True love always does
Here by your side or a million miles away
Nothin' is ever gonna change the way I feel
The way it is, is the way that it was

[Chorus:]
When I said I do, I meant that I will
Til' the end of all time
Be faithful and true, devoted to you
That's what I had in mind, when I said I do

Well this whole world keeps changin'
And the world stays the same
For all who came before
And it goes hand in hand

Only you and I can undo
All that we became
That makes us so much more (so much more)
Than a woman and a man

After everything
That comes and goes around
Has only passed us by
Here alone in our dreams

I know there's a lonely heart
In every lost and found
But forever you and I will be the ones
Who found out what forever means

[Chorus]

Truer than true
You know that I'll always be there for you

That's what I had in mind
That's what I had in mind

[Together:]
When I said I do

Been There Lyrics – Clint Black (duet with Steve Wariner)

Did you ever wake up in the middle of the night
And wonder where you were
You need the one and only that can hold you tight
And you reach for her, but she's not with you
You just wish this trip would end
You know I've been there, I don't wanna go back again

Did you ever wake up in the middle of the day
And wonder who you are
You suddenly discover there's a price you pay
For gettin' this far, and it's the part of you
You really don't have to spend
You know I've been there, and I don't wanna go back again

There's so many moments that I've left incomplete
Those are the moments that I'm not gonna repeat, no

Did you ever wake up in the middle of a dream
That didn't come true
You think you're gotta give up on makin' that scene
And seeing it through, you feel like breaking
When you really just need to bend
You know I've been there, and I'll never go back again

There's so many moments that I've left incomplete
Those are the moments that I'm not gonna repeat, no

Dixie Lullaby Lyrics – Clint Black (duet with Bruce Hornsby)

Gather round me people, got a song to sing
About that sweet magnolia thyme
Black-eyed Susan made some catfish stew
And papa brought some homemade wine.

All you southern children like to rock'n roll
The TV mamas tell you why
They got it on the boat from Africa
It's that Dixie Lullaby.

Well, Blind Willie Time he had a dime shoe shine
Stand down on Beale Street
And Willie would stop and just to say hello
All the shoes he'd meet.

Why are you so happy said the clean white buck
You got no reason to be happy Mr Time
And Willie would stop and just pop his rag
And sing a Dixie Lullaby.

[Instrumental]

So now you know the story of my southern home
With a honeysuckle wine
And anytime you think that you might come yourself
You ought to keep this thought in mind.

All you easy riders better watch you step
And if you're walkin' down below the line
That Louisiana man is gonna get you yet
With his Dixie Lullaby.
He's got a Dixie Lullaby.
He's got a Dixie Lullaby...

Where Your Love Won't Go Lyrics – Clint Black

It's a lonesome avenue, I'm barely livin' on
With a broken heart that's dyin' over you.
I've done all that I can do to try and make you love me too
Tell me where did I go wrong?

Girl, I've had enough of givin' you my love
When you won't give it back, I know
You don't love me, I'm on a one way street
Where your love won't go.

[Instrumental]

I won't cross the burnin' bridges you left behind
Though I've shed the tears to put those fires out
If I didn't do me part from the bottom of my heart
Then I don't know what love is all about.

Girl, I've had enough of givin' you my love
When you won't give it back, I know
You don't love me, I'm on a one way street
Where your love won't go.

Well, you gave me all the signs
Though it never crossed my mind
You would hurt me more than I could know
You don't love me, I'm on a one-way street
Where your love won't go...

[Instrumental to fade]

Love She Can't Live Without Lyrics – Clint Black

He gives her attention, he's constantly, carefully planting the seeds
The only thing missing, is really the only thing she needs
And he can't give that to her and she can't find it with him
So she'll have to find her way out of love she's not really in

[Chorus]
She can live with what goes with leavin
She knows it's the only way
Though it kills her to give up believin
She can't live with herself if she stays
She could settle for what she'd be feelin
If she gave in and worked this one out
She doesn't want the kind of love she can live with
She wants the kind of love she can't live without

She looks in the mirror and sees all the sadness in her eyes
It's never been clearer what he's askin her to sacrifice
But she can't be his forever, she can't even be his for now
She'll have to be kind to them both and let go of him somehow

[Chorus]
She can live with what goes with leavin
She knows it's the only way
Though it kills her to give up believin
She can't live with herself if she stays
She could settle for what she'd be feelin
If she gave in and worked this one out
She doesn't want the kind of love she can live with
She wants the kind of love she can't live without

And the hardest part is she loves him
But she doesn't want the kind of love she can live with
She wants the kind of love she can't live without

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 me
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]

Who I Use To Be Lyrics – Clint Black

The memories and emotions
That I've been through
Are things I can't unlearn
But I won't go on standing on the bridges
You've tried so hard to burn.

I can't put those fires out
And let somebody in
If everything my life's about
Is who we might've been
Till we forget the love we lost
We won't remember how to love again.

[Chorus:]
That's who I used to be
Holding onto nothing
Giving everything I used to be
To belong to someone
That I know is who
I used to see when I looked at you
You were never who I used to see
That's who I use to be,
And I'm not who I used to be

Coming to my senses now
I'm feeling things I thought I couldn't feel
I don't take for granted if it feels like love
It must not be real

I still find myself out on
Some bridges now and then
I'm stuck out in the middle
Trying to reach the other end
But I'm through holding back the flames
To show somebody how to love, again

[Chorus:]
That's who I use to be
Holding onto nothing
Giving everything I use to be
To belong to someone
That I know is who
I use to see when I looked at you
You were never who I use to see
That's who I use to be,
And I'm not who I use to be.

That's who I use to be,
And I'm not who I use to be...

Harmony Lyrics – Clint Black (duet with Kenny Loggins)

With the rivers running to the sky
To rain across the land
Our children's children's sands of time
Are slipping through our hands.

Take heed in what's become of Eden
You and me, from seed to seed
Just how does your garden grow?
It's likely only Heaven knows.

Harmony -- From the very start
Weren't we changing it?
Don't we all agree, that in every part
We're more than rearranging harmony.

Do we move the mountains that we climb
Just because we're here?
Can we show the forests to the blind
To see the trees we clear?

And if Mother Nature holds her ground
And our seeds are still around
Will we watch our garden grow
To something only Heaven knows?

Harmony -- We're the only one's
Who can't live in it
Everything and everyone
Can get along in every way in harmony.

Harmony -- From the very start
Weren't we changing it?
Dont we all agree that in every part
We're more than rearranging harmony.

[Chorus:]
I believe it's gonna be
When everybody here can sing along
Singin' in harmony
Stand on up, say the word
Together, all of our voices can be heard
Everybody knows the key
To livin' in harmony.

Take heed in what's become of Eden
You and me, from seed to seed
Just how does your garden grow?
It's likely only Heaven knows.

Harmony -- We all just have to believe
Don't we all agree, that in every part
We're more than rearranging harmony.

[Chorus:]
I believe it's gonna be
When everybody here can sing along
Singin' in harmony
(Stand on up, I believe)
I believe in harmony
I believe
(Ooo, I believe, everybody knows)
Say the word, harmony (Stand on up)
I know we can do it now
I believe, I believe in harmony
Yeah, harmony
Everybody knows the key
To livin' in harmony...

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

"Nothin' But The Taillights" (1997)

Nothin' But The Taillights Lyrics – Clint Black

Blue Kentucky highway, headin' for the line
She hadn't said a word all night,
But the wheels are turnin' in her mind
Now I was ridin' shotgun,
And I knew things had gone awry
Just as soon as she dropped me off At the side of the road
And she let that gravel fly

[CHORUS]
Now I'm walkin' in the moonlight, Seein' nothin' but the taillights
And that's a pair of taillights I may never see again
She hit me with the left and right,
Showin' me nothin' but the taillights
And that's about as lonely As the highway's ever been
Back here with my thumb out in the wind

Was it somethin' that I did to her,
Or the things I never said
I wonder if the way we were was only in my head
Now if I even make it back to town
Before the sun comes up
I'm gonna hit every parking spot around
'Til I find that pick-up truck

[CHORUS]
Now I'm talkin' in the moonlight
Seein' nothin' but the taillights
And that's a pair of taillights I may never see again
She hit me with the left and right
Showin' me nothin' but the taillights
And that's about as lonely As a highway's ever been
Stuck here with my thumb out in the wind

Well I'll bet right now she's laughin'
At how she brought me to my knees
But she won't be laughin' half as loud
When she gives me back my keys

[CHORUS]
She'll be walkin' in the moonlight,
Seein' nothin' but the taillights
And that's a pair of taillights She won't ever see again
She hit me with a left and right
And with nothin' but the taillights
And I know that's about as lonely As a highway's ever been
Back here with my thumb out in the wind

There she goes,
here I come

That Something In My Life Lyrics – Clint Black

The older you get the more you stand to lose
You can bet that we'll all have our turn
And if I lost everything right down to my shoes
As long as you love me I won't be concerned

[Chorus]
There's one thing in life that I can't replace
It's written in ways even time can't erase
Some things really are too good to be true
That something in my life is you

I spent my time on money and things
That won't do a heart any good
With nothing to gain but the space that it brings
It had always been empty til I understood

[Repeat Chorus]

One thing's for certain and without a doubt
Your love is something I can't live without
Some things really are too good to be true
That something in my life
One thing in my life
That something in my life is you

Our Kind Of Love Lyrics – Clint Black

Long ago with a younger partner
Always in love but a love for sure
Their hearts were lost out in the shuffle
Of a hook and wings on a sawdust floor.

Now they hold their own out on the liners
They're always prime for something slow
And you won't find them changin' partners
Love will keep in step keepin' up with a country set
It's our kind of love I'll bet
They're together everywhere they go.

Now they're on in years and they don't need a reason
All the lights are on for the same old thing
When they call Let's dance, their song will still be playin'
Til' the end of time their love'll be in full swing.

And they hold their own out on the liners
They're always prime for something slow
And you won't find them changin' partners
Love will keep in step keepin' up with a country set
It's our kind of love I'll bet
They're together everywhere they go.

Love will keep in step keepin' up with a country set
It's our kind of love I'll bet
They're together everywhere they go
It's our kind of love
I'll bet they're together everywhere they go.

[Instrumental to fade]

Loosen Up My Strings Lyrics – Clint Black

No one's gonna jerk me around
When I get my feet on the ground
I'm gonna hit it runnin
Gonna call it a day
See, a little bit of tension Goes a long, long way
The boss man has got mine in a sling
But I'll be swingin when I loosen up my strings

Every night when the sun goes down
You won't find me hangin around
I'm in loco-motion like a rock out on roll
I'm nobody's puppet I'm out of control
The boss man has got mine in a sling
But I'll be swingin when I loosen up my...

Now, when it comes to getting down
And I'm always keepin track
I don't need some yo-yo takin up my slack
The boss man has got mine in a sling
But I'll be swingin when I loosen up my strings
Yeah, he'll have a line on me til my fat lady sings
But I'll be swingin while I loosen up my strings
Yeah, we'll all be swingin while I loosen up my strings
Hey, we'll all be swingin when I loosen up my strings

Still Holding On Lyrics – Clint Black

There's something out there left for you
But it's not me
We've reached a point of no return
It's only right to set you free

I know I have to turn away
But there's nowhere for my love to go
And there won't come a day
When I won't honor what we've had

But I'll go on with my life
We can even say goodbye for now if
If that's what we have to do
Here in my heart
Even when my arms are empty
Darling, I'm still holding onto you

We can't deny that this one's out of our control
Stronger than the both of us
And bound to take its toll

I can stand the test of time
And as far as I can see
There are no walls that we can't climb
Standing between you and me

But I'll go on with my life
We can even say goodbye for now if
If that's what we have to do
Here in my heart
Even when my arms are empty
Darling, I'm still holding onto you

There's a place you'll always be
No matter where you are you're here with me
When the world is turning upside down
Together we will stand our ground

We can even say goodbye for now if
If that's what we have to do
Here in my heart
Even when my arms are empty
Darling, I'm still holding onto you

I'm still holding onto you
I'm still holding onto you
When I'm gone
When I'm gone, I'm holding on

Something That We Do Lyrics – Clint Black

I remember well the day we wed
I can see that picture in my head
I still believe the words we said
Forever will ring true

Love is certain, Love is kind
Love is yours and love is mine
But it isn't something that we find
It's something that we do

It's holding tight, It's lettin go
It's flying high and laying low
It lets your strongest feelings show
And your weakness too

It's a little and a lot to ask
An endless and a welcome task
Love isn't something that we have
It's something that we do

We help to make each other all that we can be
Though we can find our strength and inspiration independently
The way we work together is what sets our love apart
So closely that we can't tell where I end and where you start

It gives me heart remembering how
We started with a simple vow
There's so much to look back on now
And still it feels brand new
We're on a road that has no end
And each day we begin again
Love's not just something that we're in
It's something that we do

We help to make each other all that we can be
Though we can find our strength and inspiration independently
The way we work together is what sets our love apart
So closely that we can't tell where I end and where you start

Love is wide, Love is long
Love is deep and Love is strong
Love is why I love this song
And I hope you love it too

I remember well the day we wed
I can see that picture in my head
Love isn't just those words we said
It's something that we do

There's no request
Too big or small
We give ourselves
We give our all
Love isn't some place that we fall...
It's something that we do

The Shoes You're Wearing Lyrics – Clint Black

We've all seen enough wrong and right
To know everything's not black and white
There's always something in between
No matter how long or well you live
You don't get anything you don't give
Still no slate is clean
For better or worse, anybody can

Take a look around and find a better man
Upright no matter how he's faring
No matter what kind of shoes he's wearing
The shoes he's wearing
They don't make the man

So many people out running around
Handicapped before they hit the ground
Thinking there's nowhere to go
Shouldn't we all be looking for ways
To keep on seeing our better days
We're not chained to what we know
But if your eyes are open and your mind is free
There's no tellin' what a man can be

Upright no matter how you're faring
No matter what kind of shoes you're wearing
The shoes you're wearing
They don't make the man
But if you can't walk through the best of times
and the worst of times
Find your feet still walking the line
You'll never carry the load worth bearing

No matter what kind of shoes you're wearing
The shoes you're wearing
They won't make the man
The shoes you're wearing
They won't make the man

You Don't Need Me Now Lyrics – Clint Black

Holdin' on, safely to fall
Like there's no tomorrow forsaking it all
Bound and determined to share all of our days
Loving and learning our special ways
That I'm holdin' onto and you've been lettin' go
And wherever you've gone to I'm so far below
You're way over me I can't even see how
Someday I'll need you the way you don't need me now

Movin' on, heart in a stall
Like there's no tomorrow, no beating at all
Bound and determined to forget all of our days
Reliving and learning our special ways
I'm still holdin' onto, maybe no lettin' go
And wherever you've gone to I may never know
The way you're over me I can't even see how
Someday I'll need you the way you don't need me now

And you don't need me now
Like you needed me then
And I'm wondering how I'll be feeling when
I'm way over you I can't even see how
Someday I'll need you the way you don't need me now
No way I'll need you the way you don't need me now...

What I Feel Inside Lyrics – Clint Black

I'm just out of the light
I hadn't caught her eye
But I think I might be lovin' her
I just stepped outta the door
Gotta be a fool to wanna go one more
For the way we were
For the good times,
how many times
I'm losin' track
Everybody goes,
everybody knows
It's gone, don't look back

There's no love in the space I've gained
I could burn my bridges through a pourin' rain
No matter how far or hard I ride
I can't outrun what I feel inside

Tell me, who do you see
See me running 'round,
and you think I'm free
From the way we hurt
Well I don't mean bodily harm
When it comes to the heart,
it's a free alarm
You gotta be alert
For the good times,
how many lines
I'm losin' slack
It's the way to go,
everybody knows
If you don't look back

There's no love in the space I've gained
I could burn my bridges through a pourin' rain
No matter how far or hard I ride
I can't outrun what I feel inside

I never mind what I think I know
I'm getting nowhere everywhere I go

There's no love in the space I've gained
I could burn my bridges through a pourin' rain
No matter how far or hard I ride
I can't outrun what I feel inside...

You Know It All Lyrics – Clint Black

Communications are down all over town
People tryin to get through some will never get an answer
But I've already found a way to get through to you
It comes in gentle and clear I'm still the same romancer
And you know what I'm thinkin if I have to tell you myself
I can never let you wonder what I want you to believe
And there isn't any wonder at how lucky I am
From the smile that I'm wearin and the heart out on my sleeve

[Chorus]
Everybody thinks they know me I don't doubt that it's true
I've never been one to put up many walls
There's so much of me they'll never know not the way you do
When it comes to me you know it all

I've seen all of the signs and all the changing of minds
And signals gettign crossed and the killing seeds are planted
But those could never grow out of things that we know
Like the vows that we made we can always take for granted
While everyone else is losin groung you know where I stand
Forsakin everyone but you to reap the love we sow
And one thing everybody knows is I'm a man of my word
And you and I have places that I'll never let them go while

[Repeat Chorus]

My life has been an open book til you walked in
And turned a page I never saw
You found a side of me that even I could never see
When it comes to me you know it all

Still everybody thinks they know me I don't doubt that it's true
I'm still not one to put up many walls
Cause there's so much of me they'll never know not the way you do
When it comes to me you know it all

Ode To Chet Lyrics – Clint Black

When I bought this guitar it had brand new strings
Brand new strap all those things
Brand new picks both thumb and flat
All the elementary things like that

I went ahead and took it everywhere I went
Couldn't count the hours that I must have spent
I heard the girl was lookin' for a guitar man
I'll ablidge her anyway I can

'Cause I can win her over
Like Romeo did Juliet
If I can only show her
I can learn to pick that Figato lick like Chet

It'll take more than Mel Bay 1, 2, & 3
If I'm ever gonna play like CGP
My legato is staccato but what I don't fret
Is droppin' any note that I don't get

'Cause I can win her over
Like Romeo did Juliet
If I can only show her
I can learn to pick that Figato lick like Chet

I can win her over
Like Romeo did Juliet
If I can only show her
I can almost pick that Figato lick like Chet

Bitter Side Of Sweet Lyrics – Clint Black

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

"Looking For Christmas" (1995)

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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,
Lord is the word he brings
Praise of the Nazarene
The angels will sing

[Chorus:]
Jesus born unto Mary in Bethlehem
The angels herald the pietas in
The magi, Ardent wouldn't tarry to find him,
Enshrine him, glorify him

Frankincense, gold and myrrh
Honor the Savior's birth
The highest praise on earth
The angels will sing of him,
The trinity begins
Voices will ring, Amen
The birth of the king

[Chorus 2:]
Jesus, Joseph and Mary of Israel,
Isiah's miracle augured befell
The coming of Christ as the star
From the East will tell
The first noel our Load Emmanuel

Sages have come from far
Following one bright star
Telling us who thou art
From heaven the king of kings,
Lord is the word he brings
Praise of the Nazarene,
The angels will sing
Of the birth of the king

The angels will sing of
The birth of the king

(The angels will sing of
The birth of the king)... [x8]

"One Emotion" (1994)

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]

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'...

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

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]

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...

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

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]

[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...

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...

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 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...

"No Time To Kill" (1993)

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

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...

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

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
