If I never think about her, I�ll never miss her at all

Never wonder what she's doin, never give her a call

Never see her again and I�ll be free as a bird

But the trouble with never is never, never works

If I never bring her flowers, I�ll never see her smile

If I never try to kiss her, she'll never drive me wild

And I�ll never feel the need to say those three little words

But the trouble with never is never, never works

I know how to stay carefree, let no one get a hold on me

But I can't keep my hands off her

There's something different 'bout this girl

If I never let me love her, I�ll never settle down

And I�ll never put roots in this god forsaken town

And I�ll never say I do or step foot in a church

But the trouble with never is never, never works

I know how to stay carefree, let no one put a hold on me

But I can't keep my hands off her

There's something different 'bout this girl

If I never think about her, I�ll never miss her at all

Never wonder what she's doin, never give her a call

Never see her again, and I�ll be free as a bird

Oh, but the trouble with never is never, never works

Yeah, the trouble with never is never, never works

At least not with her

2. Seventeen

Backseat of her daddy's car

I was trying not to go too far

Kept thinking about the words the preacher man said

Lightnin' flashed across the sky

I saw love in a young girl's eyes

And that's a look you never forget

Seventeen only comes once in a lifetime

Don't it just fly by wild and free

Goin' any way the wind blew baby

Seventeen livin' on crazy dreams

Rock and roll and faded blue jeans

And standing on the edge of everything

Seventeen

Legs hangin' off the bayou bridge

Feedin' fish potato chips

And talkin' about the mysteries of the universe

Yeah the world was somewhere else

We had the summer all to ourselves

And the stars went off like fireworks

Seventeen only comes once in a lifetime

Don't it just fly by wild and free

Goin' any way the wind blew baby

Seventeen livin' on crazy dreams

Rock and roll and faded blue jeans

And standing on the edge of everything

Seventeen

Seventeen only comes once in a lifetime

Don't it just fly by wild and free

Goin' any way the wind blew baby

Seventeen livin' on crazy dreams

Rock and roll and faded blue jeans

And standing on the edge of everything

Seventeen

Yeah seventeen

Sweet seventeen

3. She'll Have You Back

Once upon a lonely time

She swore she'd never let you down

You held her tight without a care in mind

While she did her runnin' 'round

At first you wouldn't face the truth

You loved her too much to let go

And though the story had to end

You wanna be her fool again

Friend there's something you should know

She'll have you back

Back to drinkin' in no time

Back to walkin' on your knees

Boy open up your eyes and see the light

Some things just aren't meant to be

I understand how she can get to you

'cause she's made more than one man blind

So try and face the cold hard fact

She would gladly have you back

Back to drinkin' in no time

It just don't make no sense to me

To play a game you'll never win

You asked me here for my advice

You say she wouldn't break you twice

Friend you'd better think again

She'll have you back

Back to drinkin' in no time

Back to walkin' on your knees

Boy open up your eyes and see the light

Some things just aren't meant to be

I understand how she can get to you

'cause she's made more than one man blind

So try and face the cold hard fact

She would gladly have you back

Back to drinkin' in no time

So try and face the cold hard fact

She would gladly have you back

Back to drinkin' in no time

4. Somebody Must Be Prayin' For Me

She left Oklahoma for California

Sunglasses on the brim of her hat

Smoke was pourin' from that old Cadillac

But she wasn't turnin' back

Just outside of Flagstaff

Motor blew on her coup de ville

Just in time she saw a sign

There's was a Texaco waitin' at the bottom of the hill

And she said

Somebody must be prayin' for me

Somebody out there must be prayin' for me

Must be angels I can't see

Somebody must be prayin' for me, yeah

A boy about 20 climbed out of a truck

All covered in grease and dirt

She said, hey Charles, but he just laughed

He said, I�m wearin' my daddy's shirt

He stood there lost in her eyes

Then she got lost in his

As the years roll by

She would sigh every time they kissed

And she'd say

Somebody must be prayin' for me

Somebody out there must be prayin' for me

Must be angels I can't see

Somebody must be prayin' for me

Sometimes she stares out the window

And wonders about her Hollywood dreams

But when she tucks her kids in bed

She softly whispers as they fall asleep

Somebody must be prayin' for me

Somebody out there must be prayin' for me

Ain't it funny how you find just what you need

Somebody must be prayin' for me

Prayin' for me, yeah

5. My Best Friend

I never had no one

I could count on

I've been let down so many times

I was tired of hurtin'

So tired of searchin'

'til you walked into my life

It was a feelin'

I'd never known

And for the first time

I didn't feel alone

You're more than a lover

There could never be another

To make me feel the way you do

Oh we just get closer

I fall in love all over

Every time I look at you

I don't know where I�d be

Without you here with me

Life with you makes perfect sense

You're my best friend

You're my best friend, oh yeah

You stand by me

And you believe in me

Like nobody ever has

When my world goes crazy

You're right there to save me

You make me see how much I have

And I still tremble

When we touch

And oh the look in your eyes

When we make love

You're more than a lover

There could never be another

To make me feel the way you do

Oh we just get closer

I fall in love all over

Every time I look at you

And I don't know where I�d be

Without you here with me

Life with you makes perfect senseYou're my best friend

You're my best friend

You're more than a lover

There could never be another

To make me feel the way you do

Oh we just get closer

I fall in love all over

Every time I look at you

And I don't know where I�d be

Without you here with me

Life with you makes perfect sense

You're my best friend

You're my best friend (my best friend)

6. Senorita Margarita

She left more than just her lipstick when she walked out

Her memory keeps haunting me that's why I�m hunting you down

It's been a long time since our lips met

You've always been good at helping me forget

I'll regret it in the morning but that's not stopping me now

Senorita, margarita I�m as lonesome as a man can be

I still love her

I still need her

I'm just hoping you can comfort me

I don't want to do her wrong

I don't need somebody new

I just can't be alone tonight

So senorita, margarita, let me hold you tight

La la la la la la, la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la la la la

She always comes to her senses with some space and time

And you're just what I needed to cool off this hot head of mine

I hope you realize this is a one night stand

I'm gonna get her back, I know I can

So let's keep this between you me the salt and the lime

Senorita, margarita I�m as lonesome as a man can be

I still love her

I still need her

I'm just hoping you can comfort me

I don't want to do her wrong

I don't need somebody new

I just can't be alone tonight

So senorita margarita, let me hold you tight

La la la la la la, la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la, la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la la

7. Some Things Never Change

After all this time I still miss you everyday

The same world spins 'round

I guess some things never change

Sometimes I go out but it never feels the same

I still look for you

Baby some things never change

When I said I�d love you for eternity

I just never knew how true those words would be

Just an old love song

Just a mention of your name

My heart breaks in two again

I guess some things never change

Maybe someday someone else will set me free

Until then I�ll live with your loves legacy

And I�ll keep holding on

Hoping you'll come back someday

You can rest assured

Baby some things never change

Girl I�m still in love with you

I guess some things never change

I still love you

8. You Don't Love Me Anymore

She walks over to him and she says do you remember me

I think we might have met somewhere before

Southern carolina is the place that comes to mind

But hey I guess you never really can be sure

Oh there's nothing like a true love

To go and make a fool of someone just like before

And right there for a minute

I forgot that you don't love me anymore

Then an old familiar feeling

Wraps its arms around the moment

And he says so many times I�ve tried to call

Well you think you'd spent a lifetime

It's been two years since I�ve seen you

But it seems like no times gone by at all

There was nothing like a real love

To give you back the feel of someone just like before

And right there for a minute

I forgot that you don't love me anymore

Oh and how far we'll travel

For a place to heal our hearts

We watched it unravel

So why's tonight the hardest part

Then he says the weather's changin�

And it's icing up the highway

So I guess it's time for me to hit the road

So she says goodbye and then before she knows what she is saying

She says I wish that you didn't have to go

Oh there's nothing like a true love

To go and make a fool of someone just like before

And right there for a minute

I forgot that you don't love me anymore

And right there for a minute

I forgot that you don't love me anymore

9. Something Like That

It was labor day weekend I was seventeen

I bought a coke and some gasoline

And I drove out to the county fair

When I saw her for the first time

She was standing there in the ticket line

And it all started right then and there

Oh, a sailor's sky made a perfect sunset

And that's the day I�ll never forget

I had a barbeque stain on my white tee shirt

She was killing me in that miniskirt

Skippin' rocks on the river by the railroad tracks

She had a suntan line and red lipstick

I worked so hard for that first kiss

And a heart don't forget something like that

Well it was five years later on a southbound plane

I was headed down to new Orleans

To meet some friends of mine for Mardi gras

When I heard a voice from the past

Comin' from a few rows back

And when I looked, I couldn't believe just what I saw

She said I bet you don't remember me

And I said only every other memory

I had a barbeque stain on my white tee shirt

You were killing me in that miniskirt

Skippin' rocks on the river by the railroad tracks

You had a suntan line and red lipstick

I worked so hard for that first kiss

And a heart don't forget something like that

Like an old photograph

Time can make a feeling fade

But the memory of a first love

Never fades away

I had a barbecue stain on my white tee shirt

She was killing me in that miniskirt

Skippin� rocks on the river by the railroad tracks

She had a sun tan line and red lipstick

I worked so hard for that first kiss

A heart don�t forget, no a heart don�t forget

I said a heart don�t forget something like that

Oh, not something like that

10. Please Remember Me

When all our tears have reached the sea

Part of you will live in me

Way down deep inside my heart

The days keep coming without fail

A new wind is gonna find your sail

That's where your journey starts

You'll find better love

Strong as it ever was

Deep as the river runs

Warm as the morning sun

Please remember me

Just like the waves down by the shore

We're gonna keep on coming back for more

'cause we don't ever wanna stop

Out in this brave new world you seek

Oh the valleys and the peaks

And I can see you on the top

You'll find better love

Strong as it ever was

Deep as the river runs

Warm as the morning sun

Please remember me

Remember me when you're out walkin'

When the snow falls high outside your door

Late at night when you're not sleepin'

And moonlight falls across your floor

When I can't hurt you anymore

You'll find better love

Strong as it ever was

Deep as the river runs

Warm as the morning sun

Please remember me

11. Carry On

Mama went to sleep one night and never woke up

Daddy cried a tear into her old coffee cup

Now all he wants to do is drink the hurt all away

But if mama was here I know what mama would say

Carry on

What don�t kill us makes us strong

Carry on

Little sister�s husband ran off with her best friend

Left her and the babies all alone again

It hurts to know the hurt that she�s going through

But I know that she�ll do what she�s gotta do

Carry on

What don�t kill us makes us strong

Carry on

Nobody ever said that life was gonna be fair

You�re never gonna get nowhere by running scared

If you look down deep inside you�ll find the faith to make you strong

Oh carry on

I try to walk the sunny side of the street

Don�t let no shadows tangle up my feet

There ain�t no troubles that we can�t rise above

With a handful of faith and a heartful of love

Carry on

What don�t kill us makes us strong

Carry on

What don�t kill us makes us strong

Carry on

12. My Next Thirty Years

I think I�ll take a moment, celebrate my age

The ending of an era and the turning of a page

Now it�s time to focus in on where I go from here

Lord have mercy on my next thirty years

Hey my next thirty years I�m gonna have some fun

Try to forget about all the crazy things I�ve done

Maybe now I�ve conquered all my adolescent fears

And I�ll do it better in my next thirty years

My next thirty years I�m gonna settle all the scores

Cry a little less, laugh a little more

Find a world of happiness without the hate and fear

Figure out just what I�m doing here

In my next thirty years

Oh my next thirty years, I�m gonna watch my weight

Eat a few more salads and not stay up so late

Drink a little lemonade and not so many beers

Maybe I�ll remember my next thirty years

My next thirty years will be the best years of my life

Raise a little family and hang out with my wife

Spend precious moments with the ones that I hold dear

Make up for lost time here, in my next thirty years

In my next thirty years

He was rough, he was tough
