Oh, I love the rain when it's really coming down
When it howls, when it moans, when it sings
I'll probably catch my death, but I'll die happy and wet
'Cause I love strong anything

Oh, I like my coffee black, my whiskey straight up
I don't need no silver cup to drink
I wanna taste life now, so don't water it down
I love strong anything

Chorus
'Cause I won't settle for anything less
And I cry out with my every breath
For joy, for pain, whatever life will bring
Give me strong anything

I wanna lover who is tough
Tough enough to stand up to me
And let truth like freedom ring
'Cause riding down the road, I wanna know that my soulmate
Love' strong anything

No you don't need to part the sea, burn a bush for me
My faith has found its wings
It's a god given desire to reach higher and higher
For strong anything

Repeat chorus

..Give it to me strong…come on…

Oh, I love the rain when it's really coming down
When it howls, when it moans, when it sings
I'll probably catch my death, but I'll die happy and wet
'Cause I love strong anything

There's a melody in my head
And I ain't stopped hummin' it since I saw your face
There's a feeling I can't forget
It started with you kissing me that way
And there's no end in sight
Like an Oklahoma wheat field blowin'
You've got my heart in motion, and I'm gone
I'm the pinks and you're the reds
Just like this sunset, we belong
And there's no end in sight

Chorus:
How high is the sky
How long is time
With you is how I'm spending mine
Like there is no end in sight
I wanna laugh
I wanna live
I'm gonna love you like there is, like there is no end in sight

So kick your shoes off, stay a while
Ain't nothing here but stars for miles, and me
We're standing on the edge of something
We're not afraid of jumpin' in, deep
And there's no end in sight

Repeat Chorus:

I'm gonna love you
I'm gonna love you

Chorus:
I wanna love you like there is no end in sight

Written By: Katrina Elam, Lee Thomas Miller

Years go by, the singers change
Same old story but the words get rearranged
Somebody loves someone, somebody left someone
Somebody swears it wasn't supposed to end this way

Chorus
People dance to summertime
Happy songs with happy rhymes
The melodies make you wanna drive and sing along
And singers talk about growing up
The first kiss and being in love
But nothing hits as close to home as the break up song

Violins and I love you
If the slightly miss their mark they ring untrue
But something 'bout goodbye making someone cry
Sounds to me more like what real people do

Chorus

We need to talk, this ain't working out
Can we still be friends, I found someone else
I need some space, this just feels wrong

Written By: Katrina Elam, Jimmy Lee Sloas, Wayne Kirkpatrick

Everybody told me he was a dream
Picture perfect like he stepped right off the silver screen
Said that he would sweep me off my feet
But I'm still standing – No he didn't do it for me
'Cause I don't go for all that wine and dine
with the Ray Ban / Fake tan / Never mind

Chorus:
I want a down home / Up-with-the-sun-rise man
A pick-up truck driving / Bull riding / Strong steady hand
I want the Wranglers / Stetson / and all that stuff
I want the real McCoy
I want a Cowboy

I'm tired of talking 'bout it / Wasting my time
On all the cheap talkers – needing me / feeding me lines
Give me somebody who's tender but tough
Simple and honest / Knows a thing or two about love
I've seen enough to know I know what I like
It's the hard working / head turning / rugged type

Repeat Chorus:

Bridge:
I've seen enough to know – ya know what I mean
Ride me off into the sunset
That's my thing

Repeat Chorus:

Give me the Wranglers / Stetson / All that stuff
I want the real McCoy
I want a cowboy

I remember the day you left me crying
You just drove away
I felt something break down deep inside
I was lost and afraid

Then I realized that love and life are
Like a roller-coaster ride
You've gotta laugh at the hurt
'Cause you get stronger when you crash and you burn
And you live and you learn

Chorus:
I'm unbreakable
I'm unshakable
I've got a shatterproof heart
I've lived through the leavin'
Put back the pieces
Learned from every scar
Can't be torn apart
'Cause I'm unbreakable

I'm seeing my life in full color
For the very first time
Looking at a brand new day
I'll take whatever, give me sun give me rain
Give me joy give me pain 'cause

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
I know I'm gonna fall bound to hit a wall
It might hurt me (but I'm unbreakable)
Sometimes I'm gonna win lose it all again
It might bend me yeah
But

Her Mama cussed
She was out of film
As her baby came down those stairs
Looking right at her boyfriend
His hands, they shook
As he pinned on her corsage
And she almost cried
Cause she'd liked this guy
From the very start.
Shoulda been just another first
And not the last
Beautiful moment in two lives
When they looked back
But now they're

(chorus)
Flowers by the side of the road
Yeah, that's all that's left
Of the hopes and dreams
Of two seventeen year-olds
Some dreams live on
And some, they don't
All that's left to know
All that's left to show
Are flowers by the side of the road

Could've been me
Could've been you
How many times have I said
I've just had one or two
It's a sobering thought
It's a sobering sight
How like a bad, bad dream
You can lose everything
On a careless night
Be the one who lives
Be the one who's gone
Be the mother whose heart
Has to somehow go on
But she'll leave

Written By: Katrina Elam, Leo

Well, I hate to admit
When you dropped your hook I bit it
One look and you swept me away
When I dug a little deeper
It was obvious to see you're nothing more than just another pretty face
Beauty, only skin deep
That's all you think you need
So typical

Chorus
Nobody loves you like you do
You don't need me to make your dreams come true
You're your one and only so I'm leaving you to you
Get a live, get a clue, get a grip, get it through your head
Drop dead gorgeous

Well you really had me going
But your colors started showing
What I saw wasn't really my shade
Now the picture's getting clearer
Maybe if I was a mirror then you couldn't tear yourself away
Baby your looks could kill
Someday I hope they will
So pitiful

Chorus

So typical

Everybody does it, that's what everybody says
As they smoke their cigarettes on Friday night
And if you're still a virgin by the time that you're a junior
Then the rumor going 'round is you ain't right

Maybe I'm hard headed or a little bit old fashioned
But I always had a hard time fitting in
So when they rolled their eyes at me and told me I ain't normal
I always took it as a compliment

Chorus:
Where I'm from normal is high school girls having kids
Marrying the boys that you grew up with
They say girl get your head on straight
You sit around and dream all day
That far away look in your eye ain't normal

Somebody's got to wear the roller skates down at the Sonic
But it never really fit into my plans
So when I up and moved 1000 miles from Oklahoma
Nobody in that town could understand

Chorus:
Where I'm from normal is doing what your mama did
Marrying the boys that you grew up with
They say girl get your head on straight
You sit around and dream all day
That far away look in your eye ain't normal
(But) I say yeah, what's so great about normal

Bridge:
I don't know what happens but that's okay
'Cause I know what wouldn't happened if I stayed

Written By: Katrina Elam, L. Miller

I won't write a note
That's a coward's way out
I won't bring it up
There's nothing left to talk about
He'll just tell me that love is never perfect
He's so convincing but I've already heard it

Chorus
I won't draw it out
I won't stop to cry
He may be caught off guard
But he won't be surprised
This is where I usually let him
Change my mind
This time I'm gonna leave
But I won't say goodbye

He knows where I'm weak
And what I can't resist
And how to make me second guess
Conviction like this
So I'll just go on and
Skip to the healing
He won't hear me say it
But he'll know what I was feeling

Chorus
He'd ask me where I'm headed
But I don't know where I'm going
He'd ask if I still love him
But that's not the point

Puerto Rico all day on the beach
Blue water, white sand at her feet
Too bad it's just a magazine
It'll always be that place she's never seen

She's home running away
From the same old same old everyday
In day out, predictable routine
That's why she stays home running away
To the place in her mind where he'll take her someday
When he gets the time, until then she's home
Running Away

Fancy lunch with her best friend Ruby Mae
Dinner plans with her husband start at eight
But the dream ends with supper on the stove
The kitchen's about as far as she can go

She's home running away
From the same old, same old everyday
In day out, predictable routine
That's why she stays home running away
To the place in her mind where he'll take her someday
When he gets the time, until then she's home
Running Away

He walks in the door with her dreams in his hands
A two week vacation `cause he knows she's been

Home running away
From the same old same old everyday
In day out, predictable routine
Yeah she's been home running away
To the place in her mind where he'll take her someday
When he gets the time, until then she's home
Running away

Stars, the moon
Do their best to entertain us
Do the dance to set the mood
Night, all night
It will try to work it's magic
It will try with all it's might and

Chorus
It's good, it's fine
Yeah, I hear the song birds singin'
Hear the bells a ringin'
Everything that they call bliss
Maybe it is but to me it's just the prelude to the kiss

Take my hand
In your hand and pull me closer
Maybe now we're getting somewhere
It's so beautiful
Butterflies, they dance in me and
Pretty eyes romancing me, yeah

Chorus

Kiss me and even the milky way
Could just fade away

Chorus
I hear the music playin'
Hear the angels sayin'
Everything that they call bliss
Maybe it is but to me
Oh, I hear the song birds singin'
Hear the bells a ringin'
Everything that they call bliss
Maybe it is but to me it's just the prelude to the kiss
Yeah, I hear the song birds singin'
