I cant count the barns Ive passed
Painted red, white and black
See Rock City
And up ahead theres a turn
Takes me right through Gadlinburg
I hear its pretty
Maybe some other time, I cant slow down
Right across that state line, right about now

Her hair still wet from her bath
She's sitting on the front porch with a glass of iced tea
In my sweatshirt, in her barefeet, this I gotta see
If I hurry I can catch
The colors on her skin from that sunset
Her face and that look waitin on me, this I gotta see.

I cant wait to get to her, man
I wish I were there already
Shes the only thing that keeps this world from driving me crazy
I just hit that city limit
Yeah, thats a pretty good sign
And if I pick it up a bit, Ill be right on time

Her hair still wet from her bath
She's sitting on the front porch with a glass of iced tea
In my sweatshirt, in her barefeet, this I gotta see
If I hurry I can catch
The colors on her skin from that sunset
Her face and that look waitin on me, this I gotta see

Shes Black smoke formin across in the sky
I ask for a water and she brings me wine, she brings me wine
She's one part angel, the other part sin
I say I'm tired and she says, lets go again, lets go again

Chorus:
My kind of, my kind of beautiful
Lover and friend
If im dreamin, please dont wake me up
I wanna see how, how the story ends

Shes a bad moon risin, Shes the sunlight through the rain
She the calm before the storm, yeah shes a hurricane, a hurricane
Oh, Sunday mornin service, with that look in her eye
I never heard the preachers words but I saw the light, I saw the light

Chorus:
My kind of, my kind of beautiful
Lover and friend
If Im dreamin, Please dont wake me up
I wanna see how, how the stroy ends

I wanna see how it ends

If im dreamin, please dont wake me up
I wanna see how, how the story ends

Chorus:
My kind of, my kind of beautiful
Lover and friend
If Im dreamin, please dont wake me up
I wanna see how, how the story ends

She thinks I walk on water
She thinks I hung the moon
She tells me every morning,
"They just don't make men like you"

She thinks I've got it together
She swears I'm as tough as nails
But I don't have the heart to tell her
She don't know me that well

She don't know how much I need her
She don't know I'd fall apart
Without her kiss, without her touch
Without her faithful, loving arms
She don't know that it's all about her
She don't know I can't live without her
She's my world, she's my everything
And she thinks she needs me

Sometimes she cries on my shoulder
When she's lying next to me
But she don't know that when I hold her
That she's really holding me, holding me

She don't know how much I need her
She don't know I'd fall apart
Without her kiss, without her touch
Without her faithful, loving arms
She don't know that it's all about her
She don't know I can't live without her
She's my world, she's my everything
And she thinks she needs me

Yeah, and the funny thing is
She thinks she's the lucky one

She don't know how much I need her
She don't know I'd fall apart
Without her kiss, without her touch
Without her faithful, loving arms
She don't know that it's all about her
She don't know I can't live without her
She's my world, she's my everything
And she thinks she needs me

She thinks I walk on water
She thinks I hung the moon

Standin in the mirror
Rinsin off my razor
Wishin I was still in bed
Youre sneakin up behind me
With nothin but a towel on
you start breathin down my neck

If you dont wanna spend the rest of this day
Lyin in the dark and drivin each other crazy
Careful where you kiss me

Chorus:
I love your sweet good mornin baby hugs
But you know how your soft lips tear me up
Careful where you kiss me

You know every button
You know how to push em
And which ones turn me on
youre puttin me on the spot
oh now baby dont stop
cuz girl im not that strong

I dont know how far you want this to go
but I might just lose control
Careful where you kiss me

Chorus:
I love your sweet good morning baby hugs
But you know how your soft lips tear me up

Chorus:
I love your sweet good morning baby hugs
but you know how your soft lips tear me up
Careful where you kiss me
Careful where you kiss me
Careful where you kiss me

The last of the guests are leaving
Theres a bottle of red wine still breathing
Out on the patio
What do you say we go out there and kill it
and finish off the rest of the evening
Under a blanket of stars
Lie down in the yard, not go anywhere
I just wanna lie there

Chorus 1:
Be still
Be still

The world can wait til morning
Its time we spent time ignoring
Responsibility
I dont even wanna think about tomorrow
Lets just let it go

Chorus 2:
Be still
(some times you gotta unwind
give yourself some down time
just to keep your sanity)
Be Still
(baby take a deep breath
you n me motionless
no where else id rather be)

Chorus 2:
some times you gotta unwind
give yourself some down time
just to keep your sanity
baby take a deep breath
you n me motionless
no where else id rather be

Chorus 2:
Be still
(some times you gotta unwind
give yourself some down time
just to keep your sanity)
Be Still
(baby take a deep breath
you n me motionless
no where else id rather be)

just be still

Last thing I was lookin for
When I first saw you that night
Was someone with that something I couldnt walk away from
In the early mornin light
Yeah we stayed up all night just talkin
And I didnt miss that itch to leave
I ended up wrapped around your finger baby
But that was just fine with me

I never had a chance
I was swept away like sand
You had me in the palm of your hand
Baby my heart was on the run
I wasnt gonna fall in love
But here I am
I never had a chance

I bet you knew what you were doin
Cause baby you sure did do it well
You made me want you like Ive never ever ever wanted
Ever wanted anybody else
Yeah I admit I tried to fight it
And sometimes I fight it still
Im finding fast that I cant leave you
Cause lovin you is my hearts will

I never had a chance
I was swept away like sand
You had me in the palm of your hand
Baby my heart was on the run
I wasnt gonna fall in love
But here I am
I never had a chance

Ooo, I never had a chance
No I never had a chance

North Louisiana on a saturday night
I was sittin in the glow of the dashboard lights
Ill never forget I was 6 years old
When I heard it comin out of daddys radio
Come out of my seat and said 'son of a gun'
Daddy said naw thats the opry son

Chorus 1:
I heard the crowd start screamin
And I started dreamin
Of one day runnin
With a hillbilly band

Bought a guitar, learned a few chords
found a few guys and a beat up ford
Pretty girls would come from miles around
Like bees to honey to hear that sound
All we could afford was bread and mayonaise
Living for the moment when we'd hit that stage

Chorus 2:
and hear the crowd start screamin
man you aint livin
til you go runnin
With a hillbilly band

I came to Nashville, they liked my songs
I got a bus 45 feet long
Bought a house to put a gold record on the wall
Funny thing is i'm hardly there at all
The money, the cars, you can have that stuff
Just give me what I love

Chorus 3:
To hear the crowd start screamin
To the song that im singin
The one about runnin
With a hillbilly band

Hillbilly band, yeah a hillbilly band, oh its a hillbilly band

I got in my car and let it roll
Headed down a new patch of road
Didnt know how far Id go
Just got in my car and let it roll
I just let it roll

Smokin my last cigarette
But I aint stoppin yet
Im gettin as far as I can get
I just smoked my last cigarette

Tell me why do I still see you
Tell me why do I still care
Tell me why do I still feel you
Like you're here whisperin in my ear
Tell me why, why do I still want you

I aint lookin in the rearview mirror
Watchin those miles disappear
Yeah, the future aint much clearer
But I aint lookin in the rearview mirror

Tell me why do I still see you
Tell me why do I still care
Tell me why do I still feel you
Like you're here whisperin in my ear
Tell me why, why do I still want you

Yeah, why do I still want you

I got my eye on that horizon
The moon is down and the sun is risin
Hey, am I livin or am I dyin
Ive got my eye on that horizon

Tell me why do I still see you
Tell me why do I still care
Tell me why do I still feel you
Like you're here whisperin in my ear
Tell me why, why do I still want you

You wanna know how long I can walk this straight line
Will I be strong when temptation is messing with my mind
I know when the devils talking, I know what he tries to do
I know when its time to start walkin, walkin myself right back to you
Now baby if you have to ask how long it will last

Chorus:
Long enough
Til the stars turn out the lights, till time runs out of time
Baby my love
Is truer than the simple truth, is deeper than a well of wishes, sweeter than a million kisses
yeah
is that long enough
Is that long enough

You wanna know how far I can go on this way
Ill give it all my heart, I can travel night and day
I know what your momma told you, I know what your daddy said
I know what your friends are thinkin but dont let it worry your pretty little head
Baby, dont you know by noe our love will be aorund

Chorus:
Long enough
Til the stars turn out the lights, till time runs out of time
Baby my love
Is truer than the simple truth, is deeper than a well of wishes, sweeter than a million kisses
yeah
is that long enough
Is that long enough

Baby if you have to ask how long it will last

Chorus 2:
Long enough
To see our childrens children, honey, if the good lords willing
Our love
Will stay truer than the simple truth is, deeper than a well of wishes, sweeter than a million kisses
Is that long enough
Is that long enough

If heaven was an hour, it would be twilight
When the fireflies start their dancin' on the lawn
And supper's on the stove and mamma's laughin'
And everybody's workin' day is done.

If heaven was a town it would be my town
Oh, on a summer day in 1985
And everything I wanted was out there waitin'
And everyone I loved was still alive.

Chorus:
Don't cry a tear for me now baby
There comes a time we all must say goodbye
And if that's what heaven's made of
You know I ain't afraid to die.

If heaven was a pie it would be cherry
So cool and sweet and heavy on your tongue
And just one bite would satisfy your hunger
And there'd always be enough for everyone.

If heaven was a train it sure would be a fast one
That could take this weary travler 'round the bend
And if heaven was a tear it'd be my last one
And you'd be in my arms again.

Chorus:
Don't cry a tear for me now baby
There comes a time we all must say goodbye
And if that's what heaven's made of
You know I ain't afraid to die.

Yeah, if that's what heaven's made of
You know I ain't afraid to die.

I still see tailights in the dark
I still smell your perfume in the air
This is where a fool would fall apart
But I aint going there

Chorus:
Wont go down in a burst of flames
Wont stay locked up in your chains
Yeah, it hurts but it aint strong enough to whip me
I might stagger, I might fall
but I wont beg and I wont crawl
A tear or two might fall into my shot of whiskey
But I wont cry no Mississippi

Ther's no where to hide in this small town
I know our paths are bound to cross
I might stand on shakey ground
When I see what I lost but I

Chorus:
Wont go down in a burst of flames
Wont stay locked up in your chains
Yeah, it hurts but it aint strong enough to whip me
I might stagger, I might fall
but I wont beg and I wont crawl
A tear or two might fall into my shot of whiskey
But I wont cry no Mississippi

Bridge:
Well I Hate to rain on your parade
I Hate to make your bubble bust
Itll take more tears than you could make
to turn my heart into rust

Chorus:
Wont go down in a burst of flames
Wont stay locked up in your chains
Yeah, it hurts but it aint strong enough to whip me
I might stagger, I might fall
but I wont beg and I wont crawl
A tear or two might fall into my
I wont cry no mississippi
