Well they say the Grand Canyon is a sight to see
But it's just a big ditch next to you and me
Ooo baby ain't got nothing on us

There's earth shaking power in the space shuttle
Well I feel that every time we cuddle
Ooo baby ain't got nothing on us

I stop I stare
Sometimes I can't believe my eyes
My jaw just drops
Our love has got me mesmerized

I hear there's seven wonders in this big old world
Well don't they know that number 8 you and me girl
Ooo baby ain't got nothing on us

They stop they stare
Sometimes they can't believe their eyes
Their jaws just drop
Our love has got them mesmerized

Well I've read about Romeo and Juliet
Wish I could tell Shakespeare I ain't impressed
Ooo baby ain't got nothing on us
I'm telling you baby
Ain't got nothing on us

. . .


Looking for spare change
To put gas in my car
But what I've found
Won't get me very far

Seems lately the low times
Have hit me pretty hard
'Cause I'm a few cents short
From getting to where you are

I'm a few cents short
Of holding you in my arms
And a few cents short
Of keeping us from falling apart
Ain't it funny how the money
Can change our lives
'Cause I'm a few cents short
From losing you tonight

So I walked to a pay phone down the road
But a few dimes and a nickel is all I had
The operator wants more money
To place my call
But I'm a few cents short
If that don't beat it all

I'm a few cents short
Of holding you in my arms
And a few cents short
Of keeping us from falling apart
Ain't it funny how the money
Can change our lives
'Cause I'm a few cents short
From losing you tonight

I'm a few cents short
Of holding you in my arms
And a few cents short
Of keeping us from falling apart
Sure is funny how the money
Can change our lives
'Cause I'm a few cents short
From losing you tonight
Yes I'm a few cents short
And I'll be losing you tonight

. . .


You say you want to be friends
That's a newly sharpened blade
That's a dagger to the heart
Of the promises we made
That's a chapter full of pain
A season full of rain
A dark and stormy night
Spent all alone

Friends
Get scattered by the wind
Tossed upon the waves
Lost for years on end
Friends
Slowly drift apart
They give away their hearts
Maybe call you
Now and Then
But you wanna be
Just friends

You say you love me very much
And you'll always hold me dear
Those are the sweetest words
I never want to hear
What's a love without desire
A flame without a fire
Can't warm me late at night
When I need you most

Friends
Get scattered by the wind
Tossed upon the waves
Lost for years on end
Friends
Slowly drift apart
They give away their hearts
Maybe call you
Now and Then
But you wanna be
Just friends

Friends
Slowly drift apart
They give away their hearts
Maybe call you now and then

Darling can't you see
This is killing me
We could never be
Just Friends

He's got lucky arms
He gets to hold her
The way I know I never will again
They're dancing close
With her head on his shoulder
Lucky arms, lucky heart, lucky him

They don't see me standing in these shadows
She don't know how bad my heart still aches
He's holding on to everything I let go
Sure is making good off my mistakes

He's got lucky arms
He gets to hold her
The way I know I never will again
They're dancing close
With her head on his shoulder
Lucky arms, lucky heart, lucky him

Before too long the music will stop playing
He'll take her hand and then he'll take her home
And I can just imagine what he's saying
The way he's smiling I can tell he knows

He's got lucky arms
He gets to hold her
The way I know I never will again
They're dancing close
With her head on his shoulder
Lucky arms, lucky heart, lucky him
Lucky arms, lucky heart
He ought to thank his lucky stars
Lucky arms, lucky heart, lucky him

. . .


I knew I'd found my life's callin'
When you spoke my name
From that moment on, the reason I was born
Became so very plain
Now my heart and soul's, one and only goal
Is to bring you happiness
Lovin' you, is what I do the best

Some may live to change the world
And that's alright with me
My hat's off to those chosen few
Who rewrite history
But just to make you smile
That is how I'll measure my success
'Cause lovin' you is what I do the best

It's a lucky man who understands
Where his true talents lie
And the first time I held you
I realized
That there's one thing I do better
Than all the rest
Lovin' you is what I do the best
Lovin' you is what I do the best

. . .


I hear 'em laughing on cloud 9
In a world so happy just above mine
No one's leaving like you left me
They got each other got all they need, but

Here on cloud 8
A lotta nothing's going on
I'm just drifting day to day
Out here on my own
While up on cloud 9
I hear 'em party all the time
They don't hear my heart break
Down here on cloud 8

We almost made it up where they are
But losing your love
Brought me down hard
Now I'm just hanging, just getting by
Where expectations aren't that high, but

Here on cloud 8
A lotta nothing's going on
I'm just drifting day to day
Out here on my own
While up on cloud 9
I hear 'em party all the time
They don't hear my heart break
Down here on cloud 8

While up on cloud 9
I hear 'em party all the time
They don't hear my heart break
Down here on cloud 8
They don't hear my heart break
Down here on cloud 8

I know he gave you every reason
To lose your faith in love
Give me the chance I'll find the pieces
To a heart that's given up
You say there's nothing I can do
But no one's ever too far gone
It's a heartache talking when
You say you'll never love again
And I can prove you wrong

I can prove you wrong
I know I can make you see
That you're right where you belong
When you're right here with me
If I could wrap these arms around you
You won't even know he's gone
But if you're still afraid
Love always ends that way
I can prove you wrong

I can show you what I'm saying
Is so much more than empty words
And if you want me here I'm staying
But I'll walk away if you prefer
A broken heart takes time to heal
And right now yours is not that strong
You say there's no one left for you
But if you want me to
I can prove you wrong

I can prove you wrong
I know I can make you see
That you're right where you belong
When you're right here with me
If I could wrap these arms around you
You won't even know he's gone
But if you're still afraid
Love always ends that way
I can prove you wrong
But if you're still afraid
Love always ends that way
I can prove you wrong

. . .


Well I hoped and I prayed, I loved you from afar
I cried, and I dreamed, wished on every star
But nothin' I'd do got me closer to you
So I locked all my feelings inside

Then one night across a crowded room
You looked my way, your eyes held something new
You walked right up to me and smiled tenderly
And your words came as such a surprise

Well how was I to know
You never let it show
What a beauty like you might see
In a poor boy like me
How could I have seen
You walk out of my dreams
Shine your light on my sleepin' heart
And into my soul
How was I to know

You took my hand and led me out the door
We talked and we laughed
'Bout all the times before
When two lonely people so much in love
Passed like ships in the night

Well how was I to know
You never let it show
What a beauty like you might see
In a poor boy like me
How could I have seen
You walk out of my dreams
Shine your light on my sleepin' heart
And into my soul
How was I to know

How could I have seen
You walk out of my dreams
Shine your light on my sleepin' heart
And into my soul
How was I
How was I to know

Oooh
Oooh
Ooooooooh Oh Oh

. . .


All week long I been workin' that nine to five
Dreamin' in color but livin' in black and white
Monday to Friday ain't nothing but shades of gray
But tonight I'm gonna party
All my blue collar blues away

I'm a paint the town redneck when I get my paycheck
You ought to see my Chevy van go
Headin' for the bright lights, I'll be painting all night
I'm a honky tonkin' Michelangelo
Picasso with a pool stick
Too loose with a two step
Rollin' till my green's all gone
I'm a paint the town redneck
Honey wanna come along

We can get there early
And draw us a pitcher of beer
Do a little dancin' and make the blues disappear
Brushin' up against each other in the neon light
You can be my Mona Lisa and I'll make you smile tonight

I'm a paint the town redneck when I get my paycheck
You ought to see my Chevy van go
Headin' for the bright lights, I'll be painting all night
I'm a honky tonkin' Michelangelo
Picasso with a pool stick
Too loose with a two step
Rollin' till my green's all gone
I'm a paint the town redneck
Honey wanna come along
I'm a paint the town redneck
Honey wanna come along

. . .


Sometimes a song can touch a nerve
That takes me back to you
When I pick up my old guitar
And I play your favorite tune
Every now and then, some little thing
I've buried comes bubblin' up
And once in a while, you feel close enough to touch

I miss you a little since you've been gone
A few little memories keep hangin' on
I miss you a little, I guess you could say
A little too much, a little too often
A little more everyday

When I go by our old house
I pretend that you're still there
Waitin' for me on the porch
But there's just an empty chair
Wish I could see you one more time
Before I drive away
So I could stop and go inside, and say

I miss you a little since you've been gone
A few little memories keep hangin' on
I miss you a little, I guess you could say
A little too much, a little too often
A little more everyday

A little too much, a little too often
A little more everyday
