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

. . .


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

Clint Black & Alison Krause & Union Station
(Clint Black / Shake Russell)

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.

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

Clint Black & Martina Mcbride

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

. . .


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

. . .


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

. . .


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...

. . .


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...

. . .


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

. . .


(Clint Black/Hayden Nicholas)

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

. . .


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
