I just want to get a little more out of my payday 
Finally own a car that doesn't break down on the freeway 
A little vacation...ain't askin' very much 
I hate comin' home to this old broken down apartment 
I wish I had a dime for every hole that's in the carpet 
No I don't want it all...but I ain't got enough 
Chorus: 
All I want is a life 
To drink from a glass from a well that ain't dry 
I'm sick of the crumbs...I want a piece of that pie... 
All I want is a life 

I don't mind the pain that comes from workin' 
But it's enough to kill me when I see my baby hurtin' 
Wanna give her that diamond...I never got to buy 
She keeps tellin' me that everything is gettin better 
But one step up the rung 
And someone knocks me off the ladder 
Just wanna break even someday before I die 

Repeat Chorus 

. . .



Everywhere I go, they're staring at her 
Every man I know-he wants to have her 
I guess I ought to be a jealous man 
I look the other way-they're hittin' on her 
Every night and day, they telephone her 
They try to get to her, but I know they can't 
She never lets it go to her heart 
She never lets it go that far 
When they start talking, she starts walking 
Right back to my arms 
She can turn every head 
But she never lets it go to her heart 

She walks into the room and everybody 
Watches every move, hoping she don't love me 
I know it by the way they hang around 
But they don't realize there's more to her than 
What meets the eye, that's why I'm certain 
No matter what they do to reach her now 

('Cause) she never lets it go to her heart 
She never lets it go that far 
When they start talking, she starts walking 
Right back to my arms 
She can turn every head 
But she never lets it go to her heart 

When they start talking, she starts walking 
Right back to my arms 
She can turn every head 
But she never lets it go to her heart

Her hat is hanging by the door 
The one she bought in Mexico 
It blocked the wind-it stopped the rain 
She'd never leave that one 
So, she can't be really gone 
The shoes she bought on Christmas Eve 
She laughed and said they called her names 
It's like they're waiting in the hall 
For her slip them on 
So, she can't be really gone 

I don't when she'll come back 
She must intend to come back 
And I've seen the error of my ways 
Don't waste the tears on me 
What more proof to you need 
Just look around the room 
So much of her remains 

Her book is lying on the bed 
The two of hearts to mark her page 
Now, who could ever walk away 
At chapter twenty-one 
So, she can't be really gone 

Just look around this room 
So much of her remains 

Her book is lying on the bed 
The two of hearts to mark her page 
Now, who could ever walk away 
At chapter twenty-one 
So, she can't be really gone 

No, she can't be really gone 

. . .



I got and empty feelin' 
When that moving van pulled up 
It got a whole lot emptier 
As I watched them fill that truck 
And when they carried out your clothes 
It took my breath away 
Now they're headed for that bed 
The thought keeps runnin' through my head 
Baby, maybe we should just sleep on it tonight 
And give our hearts just one more chance 
To change our minds 
I could be wrong but goodbye 
Just don't feel right 
So baby, maybe we should just sleep on it tonight 

I'll pay them boys to stop right now 
And leave that truck out on the curb 
The TV and the phone's packed up 
So we won't be disturbed 
There's not a light left in this room 
Just a shadow of a doubt 
So let's make sure we don't give up 
Before we've thought this through enough 

Baby, maybe we should just sleep on it tonight 
And give our hearts just one more chance 
To change our minds 
I could be wrong but goodbye 
Just don't feel right 
So baby, maybe we should just sleep on it tonight

Fogged in in Dallas on my way to L.A. 
Staring up at the screen, all flights were delayed 
When a voice from behind me asked 
"Stranger, how have you been?" 
I was caught off guard when I saw her face 
Stumbled my way through an awkward embrace 
Yet somehow I managed to say, 
"Good to see you again" 
We caught up on old friends 
Caught up on old times 
But all through the small talk, 
It kept burning through my mind 
Does she think about the nights we spent on Crystal Lake? 
Wrapped up in a blanket 'til the break of day 
So many times I've wondered 
Does she think of me that way? 
I didn't ask and she didn't say 

Trading stories and pictures of kids 
Things we're gonna do and things we never did 
'Til we were stranded in that moment 
Not sure what to say 
Then she broke the silence with her little shy smile 
And she brought up the weather but all the while 

I wondered if she thinks about Jackson Hole 
Nights beside the fire and angels in the snow 
So many times I've wondered 
Does she think of me that way? 
I didn't ask and she didn't say 

We said our goodbyes, 
Swore we'd stay in touch 
Then we went our separate ways, 
Knowing no one ever does 

But I couldn't help but wonder as I walked away 
If things had turned out different 
Where would we be today? 
So many times I've wondered 
Does she think of me that way? 
I didn't ask and she didn't say 
No, I didn't ask and she didn't say 


. . .



Baby I go too fast too far 
Let's get it straight now, the way things are 
I'm not the white knight in your fantasy 
But I could be your wildest dream 
I might ride with the wind 
I might follow the sun 
I gotta go where I've never been 
'Cause my heart beats to a different drum 
It's just the way I was made 
I'm a renegade 
I'm a renegade 

I'm gettin' this feelin' that I should be gone 
Somethin' keeps tellin' me to take you along 
I got a Chevy with a big back seat 
Climb on board 
And take a chance on me 

I might ride with the wind 
I might follow the sun 
I gotta go where I've never been 
'Cause my heart beats to a different drum 
It's just the way I was made 
I'm a renegade 
I'm a renegade 

Don't even think about settlin' down 
Ain't gonna hang my hat in no hometown 

I might ride with the wind 
I might follow the sun 
I gotta go where I've never been 
'Cause my heart beats to a different drum 
It's just the way I was made 
I'm a renegade 
I'm a renegade

Spent forty-eight dollars last night at the county fair 
I throwed out my shoulder 
But I won her that teddy bear 
She's got me sayin' sugar-pie, honey, darlin' and dear 
I ain't seen the Braves play a game all year 
I'm gonna get fired if I don't get some sleep 
My long lost buddies say I'm gettin' in too deep (but) 
Chorus: 
I like it, I love it, I want some more of it 
I try so hard, but I can't rise above it 
Don't know what it is 'bout that little gal's lovin' 
But I like it, I love it, I want some more of it 

My Mama and Daddy tried to teach me courtesy 
But it never sank in 'til that girl got a hold of me 
Now I'm holdin' umbrellas, and openin' up doors 
I'm takin' out the trash and I'm sweepin' my floors 
Crossin' my fingers, countin' every kiss 
Prayin' that it keeps goin' on like this (cause) 

Repeat Chorus 

Got to wash my truck, and dress up 
To pick her up to watch TV 
And she sit's down on the sofa 
She'll move a little closer 
She can't get enough of me 

Repeat Chorus 

. . .



She was reading a book that she'd already read 
Just to pass the time 
He just sat there and stared at the TV set 
Like he was barely alive 
And when the local news was over 
They would climb the stairs 
And crawl in bed underneath the covers 
Like neither one was there 
It's a long, long way 
Across the great divide 
The songs that they once sang 
Now echo far and wide 
They could still get back 
All the love that they have lost 
(But) only if they both will reach across 
('Cause) it's a long, long way to the other side 
Of the great divide 

He was up in the attic on the fourth of July 
'Cause they flew a flag in the yard 
When he found some old roses 
She had long ago dried 
Before they drifted apart 
And how the years had slipped right by them 
He didn't understand 
He carried a petal into the kitchen 
And he placed it in her hand 

It's a long, long way 
Across the great divide 
The songs that they once sang 
Now echo far and wide 
They could still get back 
All the love that they have lost 
(But) only if they both will reach across 
('Cause) it's a long, long way to the other side 
Of the great divide 

. . .



Your eyes say that you've been hurt before 
And you can't take the heartache anymore 
You think I'll do what he's done to you 
Break your trust and be untrue 
But baby this is me you're talkin' to 
You got the wrong man, it's not me 
A case of mistaken identity 
I didn't break your heart you see 
What can I do to make you understand 
You got the wrong man 

I know you think that love will never last 
And you see your future like the past 
You don't want to make the same mistake 
You think that I'm one more to make 
But baby, I'm not him for goodness sake 

You got the wrong man, it's not me 
A case of mistaken identity 
I didn't break your heart you see 
What can I do to make you understand 
You got the wrong man 

You think I'll do what he's done to you 
Break your trust and be untrue 
But baby this is me you're talkin' to 

You got the wrong man, it's not me 
A case of mistaken identity 
I didn't break your heart you see 
What can I do to make you understand 
You got the wrong man 

. . .



Mister, you can take me into Little Rock 
I'll buy the coffee and I'll fill your truck 
I'll listen all night if you wanna talk 
Just don't mention Memphis 
We can talk about your family 
Politics and music and philosophy 
Any ol' subject's all right with me 
Just don't mention Memphis 

Or blue eyes 
And light brown hair 
An angel wavin' to me 
From the top of the stairs 
The hardest thing I did 
Was leave her standing there 
So don't mention Memphis 

Pass me the thermos and I'll fill your cup 
We'll make Texas with a little luck 
And I'm hanging with you 
'Til the sun comes up 
So don't mention Memphis 

Or blue eyes 
And light brown hair 
An angel wavin' to me 
From the top of the stairs 
The hardest thing I did 
Was leave her standing there 
So don't mention Memphis 

. . .



With a trembling pen in hand I try the best I can 
To write all the reasons I can't stay 
And I hope she'll understand 
I can't leave her like a man 
'Cause a man would never leave her this way 
A note of things I should've said 
Lays beside her sleeping head 
As I turn and make my way off in the night 
By the time the morning's breaking 
My heart will still be aching 
Every time I think of what I've left behind 

'Cause I don't want to see me leaving in her eyes 
And I can't stand to watch her watch me make her cry 
And I don't know a right way I can do her wrong 
So I don't want to be here in the morning 
When she wakes up and finds me gone 

It hurts to know how much she'll hurt 
I've told myself things could be worse 
And I've convinced myself she's better off this way 
By the time she finds I'm gone 
I'll be a long, long way from home 
When she reads a note of things I couldn't say 

'Cause I don't want to see me leaving in her eyes 
And I can't stand to watch her watch me make her cry 
And I don't know a right way I can do her wrong 
So I don't want to be here in the morning 
When she wakes up and finds me gone 

Lord I don't want to be here in the morning 
When she wakes up and finds me gone

. . .



Well I was southern born 
And raised on the Good Book 
My old boots are worn 
From the hard roads I took 
And I'm proud to be my daddy's son 
And momma taught me how to work 
And not to quit 
Until the job's done 
Well I may not be high society 
But I got all I need 
And that's just me 
The only way I know to be 
That's just me 
What you get is what you see 
Well they tell me I'm old fashioned 
And that I'm part of a dying breed 
I'd say I'm living in real good company 
But that's just me 

Well I got me a wife 
And we're bringing up a young one 
Well she's a backwoods woman 
And my boy he's a top gun 
We live out in the country 
Where we're free to roam 
And when a hard day is over 
How I love just going home 
Well it's the life I live 
And the air I breathe 
The way I believe 

And that's just me 
The only way I know to be 
That's just me 
What you get is what you see 

Well they tell me I'm old fashioned 
And that I'm part of a dying breed 
I'd say I'm living in real good company 
But that's just me 

Yeah they tell me I'm old fashioned 
And that I'm part of a dying breed 
I'd say I'm living in real good company 
But that's just me
