Альбом Randy Rogers Band

I've been down and I've been out
I washed up when I thought I would drown
I've been down and I've been out
Never flown so high with both feet on the ground

I've been walking in circles, all my life
Chasing my own tail
I've got a penny in my pocket but the rest of my change
Is down at the bottom of the well
I've got my mind made up but what I can't figure out
Is how am I gonna leave my mark
When all I've got left is doubt

I've been down and I've been out
I washed up when I thought I would drown
I've been down and I've been out
Never flown so high with both feet on the ground

I've wasted my time all these years
Just looking for a little bit more
LyricsBut it's hard to keep your shoes clean
When all you've got is dirt on the floor
And I've hit rock bottom with some good friends of mine
We sat and watched the sun rise but we never saw it shine

There's a man on the radio says he's got it all worked out
He's got a show on the road but he don't know
What it's all about

I've been down and I've been out
I washed up when I thought I would drown
I've been down and I've been out
Never flown so high with both feet on the ground

Same old bedroom floor
Some old empty sheets
I hate this haunted bed
So down here is where I sleep

I tried to find a place
To hide what you had left
Somethings never change
My heart hasn't yet

I don't wanna go out tonight
Yeah but I can't be alone
Standing underneath this broke street light
Can somebody take me home
Somebody take me home

The hope that we had left
I wrapped around your ring
That river just rolled on by
When I watched it sink
Lyrics
I don't wanna go out tonight
Yeah but I can't be alone
Standing underneath this broke street light
Can somebody take me home
Somebody take me home

Out of this bar, out of this heartache
Out of this world, I just keep breaking down
I keep breaking down

I don't wanna go out tonight
Yeah but I can't be alone
Standing underneath this broke street light
Can somebody take me home
Somebody take me home

I used to be crazy, yeah they called me a fool
I guess I wasn't myself back when I wanted you
I see you comin round again, that same lookin your eye
I'd have to be crazy, to fall again for your lies

I'm gonna break these chains around my broken heart
You chould have had it once but you tore it all apart
I'm gonna throw your lying eyes over my left shoulder
Not gonna let you wear your crown, this time around

No I can't stay a little longer, I gotta be on my way
I've heard a thousand times, everything you have to say
I'll show myself to the door and I'll turn out your light
I'll get in my car, you'll be alone again tonight

I'm gonna break these chains around my broken heart
You could have had it once but you tore it all apart
I'm gonna throw your lying eyes over my left shoulder
Not gonna let you wear your crown, this time around

Never thought I'd be so cold, what'd you expect me to do
Can't put it all on hold, I learned it all from you

I'm gonna break these chains around my broken heart
You could have had it once but you tore it all apart
I'm gonna throw your lying eyes over my left shoulder
Not gonna let you wear your crown, this time around

I don't wanna go to sleep tonight
Cause in the morning I'll be leaving
We can sit and talk with the candle light
And even though I know it's coming, it will hit me without warning

Love must follow you around, cause everytime we're close
It comes creepin in, deeper than I have ever known
And I don't know if you know it, but it's catching up with me
It's gonna track you down
Baby love must follow you around

I've been running with my heart wide open
I know I'm not always what you need
But I'll pick up the pieces that I've broken
When I get home, from this highwat then you'll see

Love must follow you around, cause everytime we're close
It comes creepin in, deeper than I have ever know
And I don't know if you know it, but it's cathing up with me
It's gonna track you down
Baby love must follow you around

It's funny how some people dream
They put on a show just to be on the scene
I don't know how many times I've stood right here
And you still don't se me
It may be wrong but tonight I'm gonna see those city lights
Cause it sure as hell beats lying here
Wishing I was on your mind

So tonight I'm walking and you started talking
About what you said we would never be
Oh and I've been worried it's the same old story I never know if you're gonna leave
I say it's the last time, just like I always do
I give you another chance and I lay it all on you

I caught myself out drifting
I guess sometimes it's good to be alone
Like a lonely gypsy I've got nothing to prove
And no one to call my own
I know there are people watching
Waiting for my next move
Yeah but they can't see that I'm too busy
Waiting on me and you

So tonight I'm walking and you started talking
About what you said we would never be
Oh and I've been worried it's the same old story I never know if you're gonna leave
I say it's the last time, just like I always do
I give you another chance and I lay it all on you

This is your love song baby
This is the part where I must confess
You're looking god in that dress

Consider this fair warning
It's getting kinda hard to say goodnight
Underneath the porch light

Now I'm not saying it sink or swim
But I've already jumped in

Cause tonight's not the night
To play it safe or take it easy
Or waste anymore precious time
No tonight's not the night
To watch you get in your car and leave me
No tonight's not the night for goodbye

Sometimes it's not easy
Sometimes love can scare you half to death
LyricsBut I'll give it my best
Yeah we'll find a way to make it
Who says we've got to do it their way
Baby what do you say?

Cause tonight's not the night
To play it safe or take it easy
Or waste anymore precious time
No tonight's not the night
To watch you get in your car and leace me
No tonight's not the night for goodbye

It's a long way home
Yeah you got no reason to go
Why don't you stay, stay

On the floor now, on the floor now
Well it's started again, yeah it's started again

Close the door now, close the door now
Won't you let me in? Why won't you let me in?

Cause it's been six long days and I'm on my way
Will I ever see the end?
I've got a heavy load down a dead end road
And I can't sleep again, no I can't sleep again

Hold the phone now, hold the phone now
You're calling again, why won't you call again?

Say my name little girl, say my name little gir
Even though it's a sin, yeah you know it's a sin

Cause it's been six long days and I'm on my way
Will I ever see the end?
I've got a heavy load down a dead end road
And I can't sleep again, no I can't sleep again

I've gotta roll on
Gotta leave you alone
Yeah but baby not for long

Cause it's been six long days and I'm on my way
Will I ever see the end?
I've got a heavy load down a dead end road
And I can't sleep again, no I can't sleep again

Verse 1:
Maybe you can work it out
It will be easy when I'm not around
But come Sunday I'll be feeling down
You can run right back to me

But I can't tell you where I go
Maybe you don't need to know
This path the road leads me down
Ain't the same one others see

Chorus:
Cause I'm high and I'm low
This rollercoaster is out of control
I can't tell the sky from the ground
It's wrong, but it's right
It's gonna be another long night
I can see the lights of the next town
And I can't slow down

LyricsVerse 2:
It was good to be back home
But when you left I got drunk alone
I let the whisky burn a hole
Right through you and me

But I'm too scared to put it down
Cause it gets me to the next town
And if that's wrong at least you know
You can always blame me

Chorus:
Cause I'm high and I'm low
This rollercoaster is out of control
I can't tell the sky from the ground
It's wrong, but it's right
It's gonna be another long night
I can see the lights of the next town
And I can't slow down

Bridge:
I've had the hammer down watching everyone else pass me by
But I couldn't turn around even if I tried

Verse 1:
The hills of cow gap stood rugged and awesome
But you have to have fill dirt when you're building a road
And the hills of cow gap, they weathered the ages
Got wiped off the map for twelve dollars a load

Chorus:
They call it the hill country, I call it beautiful
I'd call it progress if it could be saved
They call it the hill country I call it home
But what wll they call it when its leveled and paved

Verse 2:
Uncivilized pagans drank untreated water
Right out of our rivers back in their day
Now those streams bubble with clean treated sewage
While they sit in their hot tubs
And drink perrier

Chorus:
LyricsThey call it the hill country, I call it beautiful
I'd call it progress if it could be saved
They call it the hill country I call it home
But what wll they call it when its leveled and paved

Bridge:
So scrape off the hilltop, build look alike houses
Move in some people and turn on the t.v.
After the ball game we'll turn on some old movies
They'll smile when they see how things used to be

Chorus:
They call it the hill country, I call it beautiful
I'd call it progress if it could be saved
They call it the hill country I call it home
But what wll they call it when its leveled and paved

Verse 1:
Hand me up my shotgun maggie mae
The devil's come to take your boy away
I've been spotted on the run
But i'll be waiting when they come
Hand me up my shotgun maggie mae

I was born a poor man's only son
Ain't my fault I grew up on the run
I did my time as a working man
But faith kept bloodstains on my hands
I was born a poor man's only son

Chorus:
When I'm dead, put me ten miles deep
When I'm dead, put me ten miles deep
Brother when you lay me down
Down beneath the cold hard ground
When I'm dead, put me ten miles deep

LyricsVerse 2:
I keep my pistol by my head at night
Lordy I can't seem to do no right
My hometown they know my name
Killed a man and won my fame
Keep my pistol by my head at night

When I'm dead just put me ten miles deep
When Jesus comes he won't disturb my sleep
I knew it when they shot me down
I felt the flames from underground
When I'm dead just put me ten miles deep

Chorus:
When I'm dead, put me ten miles deep
When I'm dead, put me ten miles deep
Brother when you lay me down
Down beneath the cold hard ground
When I'm dead, put me ten miles deep

3 a.m. and I'm all alone, try to call but I doubt you're home. Not much has changed here on my end. Sure would be good to see you again. I know we had our fights. Nothing since has felt that right. Lived my life from day to day. If I dont think too much everything is okay.

I miss holding your hand, miss going on walks, miss being your man. I miss watching you sleep, guess I just miss you.. with me.

I still drive that same ol' car, still work at that run down bar. Still hang out with that same group of guys, and on Saturday nights, still go that dive. Been two months since I had a drink. Damn good for me, don't you think? Oh, its been a year now since you've gone. Oh I've tried my best, I cant move on..

Cause' I miss holding your hand. Miss going on walks, miss being your man. I miss watching you sleep. Guess I just miss you with me..

If you give me a second chance, I'll never let you go. Swallowed all my pride and now I got a let you know..

I miss holding your hand, miss going on walks, miss being your man. I miss watching you sleep, guess I just miss you.. I guess I miss you.. with me
