Альбом Tim McGraw

(Craig Wiseman, Jeffrey Steele, Al Anderson) 

I don't know why I act the way I do 
Like I ain't got a single thing to lose 
Sometimes I'm my own worst enemy 
I guess that's just the cowboy in me 

I got a life that most would love to have 
But sometimes I still wake up fightin' mad 
At where this road I'm heading down might lead 
I guess that's just the cowboy in me 

The urge to run, the restlessness 
The heart of stone I sometimes get 
The things I've done for foolish pride 
The me that's never satisfied 
The face that's in the mirror when I don't like what I see 
I guess that's just the cowboy in me 

The urge to run, the restlessness 
The heart of stone I sometimes get 
The things I've done for foolish pride 
The me that's never satisfied 
The face that's in the mirror when I don't like what I see 
I guess that's just the cowboy in me

Girl I know there's times you must have thought 
There ain't a line you've drawn I haven't crossed 
But you set your mind to see this love on through 
I guess that's just the cowboy in you 

We ride and never worry about the fall 
I guess that's just the cowboy in us all

(Troy Verges, Brett James) 

When I was nineteen I threw my stuff in the car 
I headed up to the Rockies, got a job at this bar 
Selling beer to the locals, just barely getting by 
On the tips from the rich kids, there on daddy's dime 
But when I saw her walk in one night 
I knew that I'd be all right in 

Telluride, the snow falling down 
I was waking up in that sleepy little town 
In her eyes my world came so alive 
I never will forget the moment she arrived 
In Telluride 

We spent that whole winter tangled up by a fire 
Casting shadows on the cabin wall, drowning in desire 
Confessing all our secrets and laughing out loud 
So high up on that mountain, I thought we'd never come down 
It was a dream we were living in 
And I was the happiest I'd ever been in 

Telluride, the snow falling down 
Waking up with her in that sleepy little town 
In her eyes, my world came so alive 
I never will forget all those sleepless nights 
In Telluride 

Telluride, whoa-oh-oh 

It ended just like a movie scene 
And I had to play the part 
Of the lover who stood there and watched her leave 
And me with the frozen heart 

In Telluride, the snow falling down 
Standing there alone in that sleepy little town 
In her eyes, my world came so alive 
I never will forget the day she said goodbye 

In Telluride, the snow falling down 
Waking up with her in that sleepy little town 
In her eyes, my world came so alive 
I never will forget all those sleepless nights 
In Telluride 

(Tom Shapiro, Steve Bogard) 

I thought I felt you touch my cheek this morning 
But I must've been dreaming 
And in the middle of the night without a warning 
I thought I heard you breathing 
Me and my so-called independence 
I've got this loneliness that's so relentless 

I guess you get used to somebody 
Kinda like having them around 
I guess you get used to the way they make you happy 
Bring you up when you're feeling down 
I never dreamed when I was letting you go that 
I would wake up and miss you this much 
I guess you get used to somebody, I guess you get used to being loved 

I kinda miss those rambling conversations 
Where we'd talk about nothing 
The way you always made me laugh at my frustrations 
Baby that was something 
I should've been careful what I wished for 
'Cause I've got my freedom and so much more 

I guess you get used to somebody 
Kinda like having them around 
I guess you get used to the way they make you happy 
Bring you up when you're feeling down 
I never dreamed when I was letting you go that 
I would wake up and miss you this much 
I guess you get used to somebody, I guess you get used to being loved 

I never dreamed when I was letting you go that 
I would wake up and miss you this much 
I guess you get used to somebody 
I guess you get used to being loved 

I guess you get used to somebody 
I guess you get used to being loved

(Holly Lamar, Annie Roboff) 

How I ever lived and breathed before you loved me, I don't recall 
If I walked around at all, it was in bits and pieces 
Of a jagged heart 
You kissed me and every piece went back in place, every pain got erased 
You held me up to the light 

No one ever left me out in the rain 
Cold words still remain unspoken 
And I never got lost, spent years in the dark 
You're here, now my heart's unbroken 
When I see your smile fill my soul again 
I'm unbroken 

If I doubted the power of love, baby now I understand 
I thank God for every day I wake up to the soft touch 
Of your magic hands 
In this world sometimes the only thing that's real is the way you make me feel 
Babe, the changes day and night 
I swear it's life 

No one ever left me out in the rain 
Cold words still remain unspoken 
And I never got lost, spent years in the dark 
You're here, now my heart's unbroken 
When I see your smile fill my soul again 
I'm unbroken 

I still see the night, I fell into your eyes 
And when we made love it felt like the first time 

No one ever left me out in the rain 
Cold words still remain unspoken 
And I never got lost, spent years in the dark 
You're here, now my heart's unbroken 
When I see your smile fill my soul again 
I'm unbroken 

When I see your smile fill my soul again 
I'm unbroken 
I'm unbroken, oh yeah 
I'm unbroken 

No one ever left me out in the rain 
Cold words still remain unspoken 
And I never got lost, spent years in the dark 
You're here, now my heart's unbroken 
When I see your smile fill my soul again 
I'm unbroken

(Aimee Mayo, Bill Luther, Chris Lindsey, Marv Green) 

They wouldn't let him play the opry 
With whiskey on his breath
And it didn't take'em long 
to figure out what they missed 
He went down that lost highway
Underneath the purple sky 
A legend disappeared before his time 
Things Change 

They said he was the devil
dressed in gold leme
The way he shook his hips 
out there on that stage 
But before that faithful day 
He left Tennessee 
All of them were calling him the king
Things Change 

Well they like to call them hippies
outlaws with guitars
But they brought a little poetry 
To the honky tonks and bars 
They might've got a little crazy 
They might have flew a little too high
Somewhere somebody's playing their song tonight
Things Change 
(Don't you know things change)

Now some say it's too country 
Some say it's a little rock n roll
But it's just good music 
If you can feel it in your soul 
It doesn't really matter 
It's always been the same 
life goes on 
Things Change

Bridge: 
Don't you know they change
Oh, things change
As long as this world is turning
Things are gonna change
Gonna keep on changing
Gonna change 

(Danny Orton) 

My mother said there's only one way 
A sweet angel boy, narrow and straight 
Timing his past, teachings they fade 
Now their angel boy has gone astray 

I've felt the hand of the Devil, felt his breath on my skin 
Dip me into the water, wash me again 
Can I still be forgiven for all of these things 
Or have I gone too far now 
Have I lost my wings 

I found a priest, I spoke my mind 
Asked if I'd sinned one too many times 
He said "My son, you're only a man" 
Then I said, "Sir, you don't understand" 

I've felt the hand of the Devil, felt his breath on my skin 
Dip me into the water, wash me again 
Can I still be forgiven for all of these things 
Or have I gone too far now 
Have I lost my wings 

God help us all for what we have done 
We've lost our way, we can't find the Son 
We make our beds, we seal our fate 
Is there still time, or is it too late 

We've felt the hand of the Devil, felt his breath our my skin 
Dip us into the water, wash us again 
Can we still be forgiven for all of these things 
Or have we gone too far now 
Have we lost our wings 

We've felt the hand of the Devil, felt his breath our my skin 
Dip us into the water, wash us again 
Can we still be forgiven for all of these things 
Or have we gone too far now 
Have we lost our wings 

Have we lost our wings 

I'm gonna drive on out to the river tonight
Find a quiet spot, turn on my parking lights
I'm gonna drink some beers, try to catch a buzz
Turn my radio up and forget about us

I'm gonna lay me down on the hood of this car
Make another wish upon a falling star
I'm gonna think again about the way it was
I'm gonna close my eyes and forget about us

I know it won't be easy but I've got a plan
To just let my memory let go of your hand
I'm gonna miss your touch
But I know I must forget about us

And when the morning sun burns across my face
I'll put my shirt back on, get up and walk away
I'm gonna climb my frame onto a Greyhound bus
Take a little blue pill and forget about us

I know it won't be easy but I've got a plan
To just let my memory let go of your hand
I'm gonna miss your touch
But I know I must forget about us

{Spoken:}
By the time I get to Phoenix, I won't know your name
Those soft green eyes, your warm skin
And the way you say "Good morning"

(Steve Bogard, Jeff Stevens) 

My body burns like there's a desert deep in me 
A thirsty soul so unsatisfied 
But there you are like a river to the sea 
The one chance I have to change my life 

(A)Darling, take me away from (E) here 
Make it seem like we're a million miles away 
Another time, another place 
(A)Make me a different (E) man 
Move me farther than I've ever been before 
Show me that there's something more 

Sometimes I feel like I'm trapped inside myself 
Spinning wheels up and down, round and round 
Going nowhere just like everybody else 
With no touch, no sight, no sound 

(A)But you could take me away from (E) here 
Make it seem like we're a million miles away 
Another time, another place 
(A)Make me a different (E) man 
Move me farther than I've ever been before 
Show me that there's something more 

Give me hopes and dreams to fill my head 
Push my heart so I can fly again 

Take me away from here 
Make it seem like we're a million miles away 
Another time, another place 
Make me a different man 
Move me farther than I've ever been before 
Show me that there's something more 

Take me away from here 
Take me away from here 
Take me away from here

(Bill Luther, Aimee Mayo, Chris Lindsey, Marv Green) 

The cover of a magazine, nothing but a paper dream 
Just another fantasy for sale 
Telling me what I need, what I should do, who I should be 
That stuff don't matter to me at all 

The sky is blue and the sun is shining 
I feel like a bum with a pocket full of diamonds 
I'm free as a bird and my spirit's flying 
That's enough to keep me smiling 

Guru man on my TV set, selling the secrets to happiness 
1-800-Change-Your-Life-Today 
Dreams, I've got my own; I ain't looking for a yellow-brick-road 
I'm just gonna go my own way 

The sky is blue and the sun is shining 
I feel like a bum with a pocket full of diamonds 
I'm free as a bird and my spirit's flying 
That's enough to keep me smiling 

Smiling (smiling), smiling (smiling) 

The sky is blue and the sun is shining 
I feel like a bum with a pocket full of diamonds 
I'm free as a bird and my spirit's flying 
That's enough to keep me smiling 

I'm still smiling, gotta keep on smiling 
I'm still smiling

(Bill Luther, Josh Kear) 

Sometimes this road, it just keeps winding 
Round and round and back again 
But you've always kept me smiling 
Over every hill, round every bend 
Baby you're the one smiling with me when the sun comes up 
I got the wheel, you got the map and that's enough 

And we go rolling down this highway 
Chasing all our crazy dreams 
I've gone your way and you've gone my way 
And everywhere in between 
One of these days we'll find a piece of ground 
Just outside of some sleepy little town 
And set this circus down 

Sometimes I lie awake just thinking 
Of all the horizons we have seen 
And as another day is sinking 
I thank God you're here with me 
'Cause baby you're the one laughing with me when the sun goes down 
Living on faith and holding on tight to the love we found 

And we go rolling down this highway 
Chasing all our crazy dreams 
I've gone your way and you've gone my way 
And everywhere in between 
One of these days we'll find a piece of ground 
Just outside of some sleepy little town 
And set this circus down 

And set this circus down 

Maybe one of these days, gonna set this circus down 
Set this circus down

(Bruce Robison) 

Here we are 
What is left of a husband and a wife four good kids 
Who have a way of gettin on with their lives 
I'm not old but I'm getting a whole lot older every day 
It's too late to keep from goin' crazy 
I got to get away 

The reasons that I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love 
And I understand that lovin a man shouldn't have to be this rough 
You ain't the only one Who feels like this world left you far behind 
I don't know why you gotta be Angry All The Time 

Our boys are strong the spittin image of you when you were young 
I hope someday they can see past what you have become 
I remember every time I said I'd never leave 
What I can't live with is memories of the way you used to be 

The reasons that I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love 
And I understand that lovin a man shouldn't have to be this rough 
You ain't the only one Who feels like this world left you far behind 
I don't know why you gotta be Angry All The Time 

Twenty years have came and went since I walked out of your door 
I never quite made it back to the one I was before 
And God it hurts me to think of you 
For the light in your eyes was gone sometimes 
I don't know why this old world can't leave well enough alone 

The reasons that I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love 
And I understand that lovin a man shouldn't have to be this rough 
You ain't the only one Who feels like this world left you far behind 
I don't know why you gotta be Angry All The Time 

(Aimee Mayo, Bill Luther, Chris Lindsey, Marv Green) 

Sometimes I close my eyes 
And imagine you're with me 
Chasing passion into the night 
All tangled in a dream. 

Oh if you could see my heart 
The way I feel inside 
You would know just how far 
I'm willing to go to get to you 
There is nothing I won't do. 

Show me what its like to lose control 
Free the desire in your soul 
Oh oh let me love you. 

Let me take you to a place like no where else 
Show you the things you never felt 
Oh oh let me love you. 

Oh I want to taste your kiss 
Be the reason for your smile 
Touch the magic on your skin 
Be the one that drives you wild. 

Oh if you could read my mind 
You'd know you're everything I need 
You'd see yourself through my eyes 
You may understand what I'm going through 
Just how much I want you. 

Show me what its like to lose control 
Free the desire in your soul 
Oh oh let me love you. 

Let me take you to a place like no where else 
Show you the things you never felt 
Oh oh let me love you. 

Let me love you. 
Let me love you! 

Show you what its like to lose control 
Free the desire in your soul 
Oh oh let me love you. 

Let me take you to a place like no where else 
Show you the things you never felt 
Oh oh let me love you. 

Oh I love you. 

Show you what its like to lose control 
Free the desire in your soul 
Oh oh let me love you. 

Yeah baby. 

Let me take you to a place like no where else 
Show you the things you never felt 
Oh oh let me love you. 

Let me love you. 
Let me love you. 
Let me love you. 
Let me love you. 

(Steve Seskin, Tom Douglas) 

I pulled into the shopping center 
And saw a little boy wrapped around the legs of his mother 
Like ice cream melting they embraced 
Years of bad decisions runnin' down her face 
All mornin' I'd been thinkin' my life's so hard 
And they wore everything they own, livin' in a car 
I wanted to tell him it would be ok 
But I got just got in my suburban and I drove away 

But I don't know why they say grown men don't cry 
I don't know why they say grown men don't cry 

Keep having this dream about my old man 
I'm 10 years old, and he's holding my hand 
We're talkin' on the front porch watchin' the sun go down 
But it was just a dream he was a slave to his job and he couldn't be around 
So many things I wanna say to him 
But I just placed a rose on his grave, and I talk to the wind 

But I don't know why they say grown men don't cry 
I don't know why they say grown men don't cry, don't cry 

I'm sittin' here with my kids and my wife 
And everything that I hold dear in my life 
We say grace and thank the Lord 
Got so much to be thankful for 
Then it's up the stairs and off to bed and my little girl says 
"I haven't had my story yet." 

And everything weighin' on my mind disappears just like that 
When she lifts her head off her pillow and says, 
"I Love You Dad" 

I don't know why they say grown men don't cry 
I don't know why they say grown men don't cry 
And I don't know why they say grown men don't cry 
I don't know why they say grown men don't cry, don't cry

(Billy Kirsch, Tom Douglas) 

I remember Sunday mornings walking on the beach 
And that place we'd stop for breakfast with the old red vinyl seats 
The hours of the tide chart 
The way the sunlight dance upon your face 

That antique roller coaster you just had to ride 
I remember how you laughed at the terror in my eyes 
The color and the detail 
Just like it was yesterday 

And I remember how you held me the night my father died 
I didn't have to tell you 
I just broke down and cried 
You're sewn into the fabric, the pieces of my life 
And I just can't remember why we said goodbye 

Up and down this boardwalk lonely people sit 
I know it wasn't perfect but nothin' ever is 
The sails out in the harbor 
Are searching for the wind 

I just had to call you, I had to hear your voice 
And tell you I still love you we still have a choice 
You're sewn into the fabric, the pieces of my life 
And I just can't remember why we said goodbye 

Everything I do 
Leads back to you 
I know I just can't let us go 

There must have been a reason, but I can't remember now 
I know if I could hold you we could work it out 
You're sewn into the fabric the pieces of my life 
And girl let's give it one more try 
Cause I just can't remember why we said goodbye
