Cowboy in Me~~I don't know why I act the way I do ~ Like I ain't got a single thing to lose ~ Sometimes I'm my own worst enemy ~ I guess that's just the cowboy in me ~ I got a life that most would love to have ~ Sometimes I still wake fighting mad ~ At where this road I'm heading down might lead ~ I guess that's just the cowboy in me ~ The urge to run, the restlessness ~ The heart of stone I sometimes get ~ The things I've done for foolish pride ~The me that's never satisfied ~ The face that's in the mirror when I don't like what I see ~ I guess that's just the cowboy in me ~ The urge to run, the restlessness ~ The heart of stone I sometimes get ~ The things I've done for foolish pride ~ The me that's never satisfied ~ The face that's in the mirror when I don't like what I see ~ I guess that's just the cowboy in me ~ Girl, I know there's times you must have thought ~ There ain't a line you've drawn I haven't crossed ~ But you set your mind to see this love on through ~ I guess that's just the cowboy in you ~ We ride and never worry about the fall ~ I guess that's just the cowboy in us all~~
Telluride~~I was nineteen, I threw my stuff in the car ~ I headed up to the Rockies, got a job at this bar ~ Selling beer to the locals, just barely getting by ~ On tips from the rich kids, there on Daddy's dime ~ But when I saw her walk in one night ~ I knew that I'd be all right ~ In Telluride, the snow falling down ~ I was waking up in that sleepy little town ~ In her eyes, my world came so alive ~ I never will forget the moment she arrived in Telluride ~ We spent that whole winter tangled up by a fire ~ Casting shadows on the cabin wall, drowning in desire ~ Confessing all our secrets and laughing out loud ~ So high up on that mountain I thought we'd never come down ~ It was a dream we were living in ~ I was the happiest I'd ever been ~ In Telluride, the snow falling down ~ Waking up with her in that sleepy little town ~ In her eyes, my world came so alive ~ I never will forget all those sleepless nights in Telluride ~ It ended just like a movie scene ~ I had to play the part of the lover who stood there and watched her leave ~ And me with a frozen heart ~ In Telluride, the snow falling down ~ Standing there alone in that sleepy little town ~ In her eyes, my world came so alive ~ I never will forget the day she said goodbye ~ In Telluride, the snow falling down ~ Waking up with her in that sleepy little town ~ In her eyes, my world came so alive ~ I never will forget all those sleepless nights in Telluride~~
You Get Used to Somebody~~I thought I felt you touch my cheek this morning ~ But I must have been dreaming ~ And in the middle of the night without warning ~ I thought I heard you breathing ~ Me and my so called independence ~ I've got this longingness that's so relentless ~ I guess you get used to somebody ~ Kind of like having them around ~ I guess you get used to the way they make you happy ~ Bring you up when you're feeling down ~ I never dreamed when I was letting you go that I would wake up and miss you this much ~ I guess you get used to somebody ~ I guess you get used to being loved ~ I kind of miss those rambling conversations ~ Where we'd talk about nothing ~ The way you always made me laugh at my frustrations ~ Baby, that was something ~ I should have been careful what I wished for ~ Cause I've got my freedom and so much more ~ I guess you get used to somebody ~ Kind of like having them around ~ I guess you get used to the way they make you happy ~ Bring you up when you're feeling down ~ I never dreamed when I was letting you go that I would wake up and miss you this much ~ I guess you get used to somebody ~ I guess you get used to being loved ~ I never dreamed when I was letting you go that I would wake up and miss you this much ~ I guess you get used to somebody ~ I guess you get used to being loved ~ I guess you get used to somebody ~ I guess you get used to being loved~~
Unbroken~~If I lived and breathed before you loved me, I don't recall ~ If I walked around at all it was in bits and pieces of a jagged heart ~ You kissed me and every piece went back in place, every pain got erased ~ You helped me up to the sunlight ~ Now it feels like ~ No one ever left me out in the rain ~ Cold words still remain unspoken ~ And I never got lost, spent years in the dark ~ You're here now, my heart's unbroken ~ When I see you smile, feel my soul again, and I'm unbroken ~ If I doubted the power of love, baby, now I understand ~ I thank God for every day I wake up to the soft touch of your magic hands ~ In this world sometimes the only thing that's real is the way you make me feel ~ Babe, the change is day and night ~ I swear it's like ~ No one ever left me out in the rain ~ Cold words still remain unspoken ~ And I never got lost, spent years in the dark ~ You're here now, my heart's unbroken ~ When I see you smile, heal my soul again, and I'm unbroken ~ I still see the night I fell into your eyes ~ And when we made love it felt like the first time ~ No one ever left me out in the rain ~ Cold words still remain unspoken ~ And I never got lost, spent years in the dark ~ You're here now, my heart's unbroken ~ When I see you smile, heal my soul again, and I'm unbroken ~ I'm unbroken ~ I'm unbroken ~ No one ever left me out in the rain ~ Cold words still remain unspoken ~ And I never got lost, spent years in the dark ~ You're here, now my heart's unbroken~~
Things Change~~They wouldn't let him play the Opry ~ Whiskey on his breath ~ And it didn't take them long to figure out what they missed ~ He went down that lost highway underneath that purple sky ~ A legend disappeared before his time ~ Things change ~ They said he was the devil dressed in gold lame ~ The way he shook his hips up there on the stage ~ But before that fateful day he left Tennessee ~ All of them were calling him the King ~ Things change ~ Well, they like to call hippies outlaws with guitars ~ But they brought a little poetry to the Honky-Tonk stars ~ They might have got a little too crazy ~ They might have flown a little too high ~ But somewhere, somebody's playing their songs tonight ~ Don't you know they change ~ Some say it's too country, some say it's too rock and roll ~ It's just good music if you can feel it in your soul ~ And it doesn't really matter ~ It's always been the same ~ Life goes on, things change ~ Things change ~ Don't you know they change~~
Angel Boy~~My mother said there's only one way, sweet angel boy ~ Narrow is straight, timing is past, teachings they fade ~ Now her angel boy has gone astray ~ I've held the hand of the devil, felt his breath on my skin ~ Dip me into the water, wash me again ~ Can I still be forgiven for all of these things ~ Or have I gone too far now ~ Have I lost my wings ~ I found a priest ~ I spoke my mind ~ Asked if I'd sinned one too many times ~ He said my son, you're only a man ~ Then I said, sir, you don't understand ~ I've held the hand of the devil, felt his breath on my skin ~ Dip me into the water, wash me again ~ Can I still be forgiven for all of these things ~ Or have I gone too far now ~ Have I lost my wings ~ God, help us all for what we have done ~ We've lost our way, we can't find the sun ~ We make our beds, we seal our faith ~ Is this the time, or is it too late ~ We've held the hand of the devil, felt his breath on our skin ~ Dip us into the water, wash us again ~ Can we still be forgiven for all of these things ~ Or have we gone too far now ~ Have we lost our wings ~ We've held the hand of the devil, felt his breath on our skin ~ Dip us into the water, wash us again ~ Can we still be forgiven for all of these things ~ Or have we gone too far now ~ Have we lost our wings ~ Have we lost our wings~~
Forget About Us~~Going to drive on out to the river tonight ~ Find a quiet spot, turn on my parking lights ~ I'm going to drink some beers and try to catch a buzz ~ Turn my radio up and forget about us ~ I'm going to lay me down on the hood of this car ~ Make another wish upon a falling star ~ I'm going to think again about the way it was ~ I'm going to close my eyes and forget about us ~ I know it won't be easy, but I've got a plan ~ To just let my memory let go of your hand ~ I'm going to miss your touch ~ But I know I must forget about us ~ When the morning sun burns across my face ~ I'll put my shirt back on, get up and walk away ~ I'm going to climb my frame onto a Greyhound bus ~ Take a little blue pill and forget about us ~ I know it won't be easy, but I've got a plan ~ To just let my memory let go of your hand ~ I'm going to miss your touch ~ But I know I must forget about us ~ By the time I get to Phoenix, I won't know your name ~ Those soft green eyes, warm skin ~ The way you say good morning ~ I'll be all right~~
Take Me Away From Here~~My body burns like there's a desert deep in me ~ A thirsty soul so unsatisfied, but there you are ~ Like a river to the sea, the one chance I have to change my life ~ Darling, take me away from here ~ Make it seem like we're a million miles away ~ Another time, another place ~ Make me a different man ~ Move me farther than I've ever been before ~ Show me that there's something more ~ Sometimes I feel like I'm trapped inside myself ~ Spinning wheels up and down, round and round, going nowhere ~ Just like everybody else ~ With no touch, no sight, no sound ~ If you could take me away from here ~ Make it seem like we're a million miles away ~ Another time, another place ~ Make me a different man ~ Move me farther than I've ever been before ~ Show me that there's something more ~ Give me hopes and dreams to fill my head ~ Push my heart so I can fly again ~ Take me away from here ~ Make it seem like we're a million miles away ~ Another time, another place ~ Make me a different man ~ Move me farther than I've ever been before ~ Show me that there's something more ~ Take me away from here ~ Take me away from here ~ Take me away from here ~ Take me away from here~~
Smilin'~~The cover of a magazine ~ Nothing but a paper dream ~ Just another fantasy for sale ~ Telling me what I need ~ What I should do, who I should be ~ That stuff don't matter to me at all ~ The sky is blue and the sun is shining ~ I feel like a bum with a pocketful of diamonds ~ I'm free as a bird and my spirit's flying ~ That's enough to keep me smiling ~ Girl and a man on my TV set ~ Selling the secrets to happiness ~ 1-800-CHANGE-YOUR-LIFE-TODAY ~ Dreams, I got my own ~ I ain't looking for a yellow brick road ~ I'm just going to go my own way ~ The sky is blue and the sun is shining ~ I feel like a bum with a pocketful of diamonds ~ I'm free as a bird and my spirit's flying ~ That's enough to keep me smiling ~ Smiling ~ Smiling ~ Oh, the sky is blue and the sun is shining ~ I feel like a bum with a pocketful of diamonds ~ I'm free as a bird and my spirit's flying ~ That's enough to keep me smiling~~
Set This Circus Down~~Sometimes this road, it just keeps winding ~ Round and round and back again ~ But you've always kept me smiling ~ Over every hill, round every bend ~ Baby, you're the one smiling with me when the sun comes up ~ I got the wheel, you've got the map, and that's enough ~ And we go rolling down this highway ~ Chasing all our crazy dreams ~ I've gone your way and you've gone my way, and everywhere in between ~ One of these days we'll find a piece of ground ~ Just outside some sleepy little town ~ And set this circus down ~ Sometimes I lie awake just thinking ~ Of all the horizons we have seen ~ As another day is sinking ~ I thank God you're here with me ~ Cause baby, you're the one laughing with me when the sun goes down ~ Living on faith and holding on tight to the love we've found ~ And we go rolling down this highway ~ Chasing all our crazy dreams ~ I've gone your way and you've gone my way, and everywhere in between ~ One of these days we'll find a piece of ground ~ Just outside some sleepy little town ~ And set this circus down ~ And set this circus down ~ Baby, one of these days ~ Going to set this circus down ~ Set this circus down~~
Angry All the Time~~Here we are, what is left of a husband and a wife ~ With four good kids who have a way of getting on with their lives ~ I'm not old, but I'm getting a whole lot older every day ~ It's too late to keep from going crazy, I've got to get away ~ The reasons that I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love ~ And I understand that loving a man shouldn't have to be this rough ~ And you ain't the only one who feels like this world's left you far behind ~ I don't know why you got to be angry all the time ~ Our boys are strong now ~ The spitting image of you when you were young ~ I hope someday they can see past what you have become ~ I remember every time I said I'd never leave ~ But what I can't live with is memories of the way you used to be ~ The reasons that I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love ~ And I understand that loving a man shouldn't have to be this rough ~ And you ain't the only one who feels like this world's left you far behind ~ I don't know why you got to be angry all the time ~ Twenty years have came and went since I walked out of your door ~ I never quite made it back to the one I was before ~ And God, it hurts me to think of you before the light in your eyes is gone ~ And sometimes I don't know why this world can't leave well enough alone ~ The reasons that I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love ~ And I understand that loving a man shouldn't have to be this rough ~ You ain't the only one who feels like this world's left you far behind ~ I don't know why you got to be angry all the time ~ I don't know why you got to be angry all the time ~ I don't know why you got to be angry all the time~~
Let Me Love You~~Sometimes I close my eyes and imagine you with me ~ Chasing passion into the night ~ All tangled in a dream ~ Oh, if you could see my heart ~ The way I feel inside ~ You would know just how far I'm willing to go to get to you ~ There is nothing I won't do ~ Show you what it's like to lose control ~ Free the desire in your soul ~ Oh, let me love you ~ Let me take you to a place like no where else ~ Show you the things you never felt ~ Oh, let me love you ~ Ooh, I want to taste your kiss ~ Be the reason for your smile ~ Touch the magic on your skin ~ Be the one that drives you wild ~ Oh, if you could read my mind ~ You know you're everything I need ~ You'd see yourself through my eyes ~ And you'd understand what I'm going through ~ And just how much I want you ~ Let me show you what it's like to lose control ~ Free the desire in your soul ~ Oh, let me love you ~ Let me take you to a place like no where else ~ Show you the things you never felt ~ Oh, let me love you ~ Let me love you ~ Oh, let me love you ~ Let me show you what it's like to lose control ~ Free the desire in your soul ~ Oh, let me love you ~ Let me take you to a place like no where else ~ Show you the things you never felt ~ Oh, let me love you ~ Let me show you what it's like to lose control ~ Free the desire in your soul ~ Oh, let me love you ~ Let me take you to a place like no where else ~ Show you the things you never felt ~ Oh, let me love you ~ Oh, let me love you ~ Let me love you~~
Grown Men Don't Cry~~I pulled into the shopping center and saw a little boy wrapped around the legs of his mother ~ Like ice cream melting, they embraced, years of bad decisions running down her face ~ All morning I'd been thinking my life's so hard, they wore everything they owned, living in a car ~ I wanted to tell them it would be okay, but I just got in my Suburban and I, I drove away ~ I don't know why they say grown men don't cry ~ I don't know why they say grown men don't cry ~ Keep having this dream about my old man ~ I'm ten years old and he's holding my hand ~ We're talking on the front porch watching the sun go down, but it was just a dream ~ He was a slave to his job and he couldn't be around ~ So many things I want to say to him, but I just place the rose on his grave and I talk to the wind ~ I don't know why they say grown men don't cry ~ I don't know why they say grown men don't cry, don't cry ~ I'm sitting here with my kids and my wife and everything that I hold dear in my life ~ We say grace and thank the Lord, got so much to be thankful for, then it's up the stairs, and off to bed and my little girl says ~ I haven't had my story yet ~ Everything weighing on my mind disappears just like that ~ When she lifts her head off her pillow and says ~ I love you, Dad ~ I don't know why they say grown men don't cry ~ I don't know why they say grown men don't cry ~ I don't know why they say grown men don't cry ~ I don't know why they say grown men don't cry, don't cry~~
Why We Said Goodbye~~I remember Sunday mornings, walking on the beach ~ And that place we'd stop for breakfast, with the old red vinyl seats ~ Hours of the tide charts, the way the sunlight danced upon your face ~ An antique roller coaster you just had to ride ~ I remember how you laughed at the terror in my eyes ~ The color and the detail, just like it was yesterday ~ I remember how you held me the night my father died ~ I didn't have to tell you, I just broke down and cried ~ You're sewn into the fabric, the pieces of my life ~ And I just can't remember why we said goodbye ~ Up and down this boardwalk, lonely people sit ~ I know it wasn't perfect, but nothing ever is ~ The sails out in the harbor are searching for the wind ~ I just had to call you, I had to hear your voice ~ And tell you I still love you, we still have a choice ~ You're sewn into the fabric, the pieces of my life ~ And I just can't remember why we said goodbye ~ Everything I do leads me back to you ~ I know I just can't let us go ~ Must have been a reason, but I can't remember now ~ I know if I could hold you, we could work it out ~ You're sewn into the fabric, the pieces of my life ~ And girl, let's give it one more try ~ I just can't remember why we said goodbye~~
