You Are
How do you do it anyway?
Like there ain't nothing to it
To make me stay
No tricks with smoke and mirrors
Not anything up your sleeve
A second look and it can't be ...
How do you do it anyway?
Like there ain't nothing to it
To make me stay
No tricks with smoke and mirrors
Not anything up your sleeve
A second look and it can't be ...
I look around at all the faces and I see
All the lonely people looking back at me
Rich, poor don't matter we're all the same
Everybody's hungry in a different way
We're clawin'...
I gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older
This mountain I must climb
Feels lik...
Been caught in a downpour of a rain of stones
Felt like an exile in the world I had known
So I sought the shelter of my own soul
And stayed inside
I found no comfort in ...
Old tin roof, leaves in the gutter
A hole in the screen door big as your fist, and flies on the butter
Mamaw baking sugar cookies, we were watching cartoons
Heard her holler from the...
I can tell myself I'm in control
I can live this life without you
But you know it's just a lie
You know it's just my pride
I can tell myself I'm broken down
One to...
Talking heads talking to us on the television
Silver screen preachers and politicians
Say they got the answer first they gotta squeeze us
Send a little money there's tax on Jesus
Strange imaginations, children hide your secrets well
Is it not temptation makes you kiss and makes you tell?
There's a traveller on the airwaves and he's pleading for my heart
Light...
Time to walk away
You've run out of things to say
Everything ends up the same old story
You don't know where love went
But nothing's making sense
You both know you can't ...
You told me that you wanted somebody to talk to
You told me that you needed a friend
You told me that you wanted somebody to stay with you
Somebody to stick with you to the end
...
If I could reach the stars
I'd pull one down for you
Shine it on my heart, so you could see the truth
That this love inside, is everything it seems
But for now I find, it's on...
Something 'bout the way
The moon and the stars are moving across the sky
Something in the still night air is telling me now is the time to try
I've been scheming, dreaming up ...
Can't nobody love you like I do
Not now, no not ever
There ain't no doubt I know this thing
We have, could last forever
Others may promise the stars in the sky
But...
Lord almighty,
I feel my temperature rising
Higher and higher
It's burning through to my soul
Baby, baby, baby
You're gonna set me on fire
My brain is flami...
If time is a train rollin' down the track
Every minute is a box car that don't come back
Take a look around you, it's all gonna change
Whatever you see ain't never gonna stay the sam...
I can see a cotton field
An old man working in the mill
I can see loadin' the trunk of my old blue Oldsmobile
I see the tears in my mama's eyes
When she kissed her baby goodbye...
Got a wishbone in my pocket and money to burn
I ain't got no worries ain't got no concerns
The feeling's goin' through me from my fingers to my toes
'Cause my baby loves me he let's ...
Road blocks, red lights
Dang brakes, that's life
People say what they want
I don't care it's just talk
Go, let's start this show
[Chorus]
I ain't gonn...
Love thats worth fighting for
Thats what this is
And how, how could I want more
Than the warmth of your kiss
No matter how many miles and dreams
Come between us now
...
Somewhere off
In a distant dream
You were long ago
Like a memory
Now you're back
Standing here
Sayin' all the words
You think I want to hear
