We were walking 'long the ocean
Together hand in hand
When I stopped to write "I love you" in the sand
And when I looked up you were standing
Ten miles out at sea
And in a sweat
I woke up from that crazy dream
As I reached to hold you in the morning light
It was just your pillow
I clug to so tight
(Chorus)
For a minute therer
I thought it was you
for a minute there
My pryers had finally come true
For a minute there
I began again to live
What i wouldn't give
For just a minute there
Five o'clock on Friday
Sitting at a light
When this angel walked right by me
On my right
And the cars all started honking
As my feet hit ground
And though i chased and called
You never turned around
Oh the walk, the hair, the perfume
Were the same
How i wished she would have answered
To your name
(Repeat Chorus)
Tonight the stars in heaven
Are bright as they can be
And i Swear one of them
is winking down at me
(Repeat Chorus)
What i wouldn't give
How I'd love to live
For just a minute there
I'd Rather Have Nothing Lyrics – Garth Brooks
Jumped in the truck and headed for Kansas
Morning found me in Port Aranas
Sipping on rum
In that warm Texas sun
I've never been good at keeping direction
And i believe schedules are one of life's worst inflections
And i gotta be free
'Cause I'd rather nothing
Than a whole lot of something I don't need
I'd rather have nothing
Than a whole lot of something
That don't fit the life that i lead
material things and all that wealth brings
just must be for some other breed
'cause life ain't about the worries and doubts
That comes with the lust and the greed
and i'd rather have nothing
that a whole lot of something we don't need
I spent that evening in a tavern in town
with a bunch of my new friends my money brought 'round
and i told them 'bout you
and all the hell we'd been through
everyone there had a similar story
years full of tears from all the heartache and worry
and we all agreed
that we'd rather have nothing
than a whole lot of something we don't need
i'd rather have nothing
than a whole of something
that don't fit the life that i lead
commintments and strings and all that love brings
just must be for some other breed
'cause life ain't about the worries and doubts
that comes wtih the lust and the greed
and i'd rather have nothing
than a whole lot of something i don't need
0h, i'd thater have nothing
than a whole lot of someting i don't need
Morning found me in Port Aranas
Sipping on rum
In that warm Texas sun
I've never been good at keeping direction
And i believe schedules are one of life's worst inflections
And i gotta be free
'Cause I'd rather nothing
Than a whole lot of something I don't need
I'd rather have nothing
Than a whole lot of something
That don't fit the life that i lead
material things and all that wealth brings
just must be for some other breed
'cause life ain't about the worries and doubts
That comes with the lust and the greed
and i'd rather have nothing
that a whole lot of something we don't need
I spent that evening in a tavern in town
with a bunch of my new friends my money brought 'round
and i told them 'bout you
and all the hell we'd been through
everyone there had a similar story
years full of tears from all the heartache and worry

'cause life ain't about the worries and doubts

and i'd rather have nothing
than a whole lot of something i don't need
0h, i'd thater have nothing
than a whole lot of someting i don't need
Cowgirl's Saddle Lyrics – Garth Brooks
Last thing I remember was saying,
"Hey y'all, watch this." Next thing I know I'm walking toward this light
When a voice from out of nowhere asked this question.
"Garth, what did you love most in your past life?"
"Well," I said, "it had to be between cowgirls and horses."
And as I wondered which one that I would settle on,
The voice said, "May you be happy with your answer."
I said, "What answer?" He said, "Watch this." And I was gone.
(CHORUS)
Now I'm back as a cowgirl's saddle
Heaven on Earth for all eternity
Forever in between
Every cowboy's dream
Riding horses, holding rodeo queens
Sew me, show me, throw me in the pickup
Take me, break me, make me what you need
It's safe to say we're made for one another
And you'll never fall if you just stick with me
Fit me, sit me, get me how you want me
Wrap me, SLAP ME, STRAP ME ON YOUR STEED.
Can't believe I'm out here flying with an angel
Oh this afterlife's sure looking up for me
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Loping, roping, hoping that you're happy
Racing, placing, chasing all your dreams
Makes me think if I'd lived life a little better
Would I've come back as a pair of cowgirl jeans
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Every cowboy's dream
You know just what I mean
Riding horses, holding rodeo queens
"Hey y'all, watch this." Next thing I know I'm walking toward this light
When a voice from out of nowhere asked this question.
"Garth, what did you love most in your past life?"
"Well," I said, "it had to be between cowgirls and horses."
And as I wondered which one that I would settle on,
The voice said, "May you be happy with your answer."
I said, "What answer?" He said, "Watch this." And I was gone.
(CHORUS)
Now I'm back as a cowgirl's saddle
Heaven on Earth for all eternity
Forever in between
Every cowboy's dream
Riding horses, holding rodeo queens
Sew me, show me, throw me in the pickup
Take me, break me, make me what you need
It's safe to say we're made for one another
And you'll never fall if you just stick with me
Fit me, sit me, get me how you want me
Wrap me, SLAP ME, STRAP ME ON YOUR STEED.
Can't believe I'm out here flying with an angel
Oh this afterlife's sure looking up for me
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Loping, roping, hoping that you're happy
Racing, placing, chasing all your dreams
Makes me think if I'd lived life a little better
Would I've come back as a pair of cowgirl jeans
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Every cowboy's dream
You know just what I mean
Riding horses, holding rodeo queens
Under The Table Lyrics – Garth Brooks
The bartender just told me
I've had too much to drink
Now why's he believing
I give a damn what he thinks
'Cause I can tell he's never felt
the way that I do
He's never had to get over
someone like you
(CHORUS)
I'll be udner the table for I'm over you
Drowning your memory isn't easy to do
And as long as I'm standing, well then I ain't through
'Cause I'll be under the table for I'm over you
It seemed so easy for you to leave me
and find someone new
Then why can't your memory
find somebody too
THere ain't a day that slips away
that I don't think of you more
The only time you're off my mind
is when I'm flat on the floor
(CHORUS)
Yes I'll be under the table for I'm over you
I've had too much to drink
Now why's he believing
I give a damn what he thinks
'Cause I can tell he's never felt
the way that I do
He's never had to get over
someone like you
(CHORUS)
I'll be udner the table for I'm over you
Drowning your memory isn't easy to do
And as long as I'm standing, well then I ain't through
'Cause I'll be under the table for I'm over you
It seemed so easy for you to leave me
and find someone new
Then why can't your memory
find somebody too
THere ain't a day that slips away
that I don't think of you more
The only time you're off my mind
is when I'm flat on the floor
(CHORUS)
Yes I'll be under the table for I'm over you
American Dream Lyrics – Garth Brooks
and the oil fields fed our family
'neath the amber waves of grain
god, he was our savior
though his name awas spoke in vain
my dad would leave for work each morning
in the twlight's last gleaming
' Cause every day I'd awaken
To the American Dream
'neath the amber waves of grain
god, he was our savior
though his name awas spoke in vain
my dad would leave for work each morning
in the twlight's last gleaming
' Cause every day I'd awaken
To the American Dream
I'll Be The Wind Lyrics – Garth Brooks
You let him lock you away in his prison of sadness
It's up to you to decide where tomorrow will lead
If it's time to be leaving your burdens behid
I could be just what you need
(Chorus)
I'll be the wind
I'll be the highway
I'll be your midnight friend
And we'll fly away
When you come across the courage
To spread you wings again
I'll be the wind
I can't imagin the gypsy that you were before him
Carefree and wild a spirited child of the road
Lately girl you've been wearing the weight of the world
And I'd lide to lighten you load
(Repeat Chorus)
If it's time to be leaving your burdens behind
I could be just what you need
(Repeat Chorus)
It's up to you to decide where tomorrow will lead
If it's time to be leaving your burdens behid
I could be just what you need
(Chorus)
I'll be the wind
I'll be the highway
I'll be your midnight friend
And we'll fly away
When you come across the courage
To spread you wings again
I'll be the wind
I can't imagin the gypsy that you were before him
Carefree and wild a spirited child of the road
Lately girl you've been wearing the weight of the world
And I'd lide to lighten you load
(Repeat Chorus)
If it's time to be leaving your burdens behind
I could be just what you need
(Repeat Chorus)
Meet Me In Love Lyrics – Garth Brooks
I know you don't know me
Only our eyes have met
But what yours are saying
Is making me sweat
The dance floor is empty
Why don't you meet me in love
Your breath on my body
The touch of your skin
Your touch is ungodly
And way beyond sin
I've fallen so deeply
Beggin you meet me in love
Darling please meet me
And I'll whisper sweetly
You're the one
All my life
That I've dreamed of
I've fallen so deeply
I'm yours completely
So darling please meet me forever in love
Lips warm and tender
Ask if I'll always care
Simply surrender
And follow me there
Trust me completely
Darling please meet me in love
Darling please meet me
Ever so sweetly in love
Only our eyes have met
But what yours are saying
Is making me sweat
The dance floor is empty
Why don't you meet me in love
Your breath on my body
The touch of your skin
Your touch is ungodly
And way beyond sin
I've fallen so deeply
Beggin you meet me in love
Darling please meet me
And I'll whisper sweetly
You're the one
All my life
That I've dreamed of
I've fallen so deeply
I'm yours completely
So darling please meet me forever in love
Lips warm and tender
Ask if I'll always care
Simply surrender
And follow me there
Trust me completely
Darling please meet me in love
Darling please meet me
Ever so sweetly in love
You Can't Help Who You Love Lyrics – Garth Brooks
It's one am
And he's still not in
you wonder when enough's enough
'Cause this ain't new
But what do you do
When you can't help who you love
So you drive to town
And you ask around
Scared of what you're thinking of
Has he been hurt
Has be been with her
'Cause you can't help who you love
You hear the voices calling
As you walk among the fallen and betrayed
And you know it's gonna break you
Still you follow where it takes you anyway
'Cause you ain't got no say
It's a long ride home
When you're all alone
'Cause you can't help who you love
You hear the voices calling
As you walk among the fallen and betrayed
And you knkow it's gonna break you
Still you follow where it takes you anyway
'Cause you ain't got no say
You should leave
But I believe
You can't help who you love
You can't help who you love
And he's still not in
you wonder when enough's enough
'Cause this ain't new
But what do you do
When you can't help who you love
So you drive to town
And you ask around
Scared of what you're thinking of
Has he been hurt
Has be been with her
'Cause you can't help who you love
You hear the voices calling
As you walk among the fallen and betrayed
And you know it's gonna break you
Still you follow where it takes you anyway
'Cause you ain't got no say
It's a long ride home
When you're all alone
'Cause you can't help who you love
You hear the voices calling
As you walk among the fallen and betrayed
And you knkow it's gonna break you
Still you follow where it takes you anyway
'Cause you ain't got no say
You should leave
But I believe
You can't help who you love
You can't help who you love
Please Operator (Could You Trace This Call) Lyrics – Garth Brooks
Please operator
Could you trace this call
Find out where I'm drinkin'
Which dirty beer hall
And send a cab driver to call for me here
No need to define me
'Cause I ain't all here
She told me to get lost and thats what I did
But I've done it so well, I don't know where I hid
And she swore she'll never see me again
Hell, I'll never find me in the shape that I'm in

My Baby No Esta Aqui No More Lyrics – Garth Brooks
She used to be my rosa amarilla
My little Mexicali tomatilla
But then one night I drank too much sangria
Woke up and found a note that said I'll see you
(Chorus)
Oh, my baby no esta aqui no more
My baby no esta aqui no more
She left me hre with nada
Broke my heart like a pinata
My baby no esta aqui no more
Whoa, whoa, whoa, if you see her
Please, please tell her that i need her
I used to be her number one vaquero
Her numero uno cabllero
But I've had to hock my spurs and my sombrero
'Cause when she left she took all my dinero
(Repeat Chorus)
Whoa, whoa, whoa, if you see her
Well please, please tell her that i need her
Oh, my baby no esta aqui no more
My baby no esta aqui no more
she left me with nada
Broke my heart like a pinata
My baby no esta aqui
My baby no esta aqui
My baby no esta aqui no more
My little Mexicali tomatilla
But then one night I drank too much sangria
Woke up and found a note that said I'll see you
(Chorus)
Oh, my baby no esta aqui no more
My baby no esta aqui no more
She left me hre with nada
Broke my heart like a pinata
My baby no esta aqui no more

My baby no esta aqui
My baby no esta aqui no more
Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream Lyrics – Garth Brooks
(Chorus)
Last night I had the strangest dream
I ever dreamed before
'Cause I dreamed the world
Had all agreed to put an end to war
I dreamed I saw a mighty room
Filled with women and men
And the papers they were signing said
They'd never fight again
And when the papers were all signed
And a million copies made
They all joined hands and they bowed their heads
And grateful prayers were prayed
And the people in the streets below
Were dancing 'round and 'round
And swords and guns and uniforms
Were scattered on the ground
(Repeat Chorus)
Last night I had the strangest dream
I ever dreamed before
'Cause I dreamed the world
Had all agreed to put an end to war
I dreamed I saw a mighty room
Filled with women and men
And the papers they were signing said
They'd never fight again
And when the papers were all signed
And a million copies made
They all joined hands and they bowed their heads
And grateful prayers were prayed
And the people in the streets below
Were dancing 'round and 'round
And swords and guns and uniforms
Were scattered on the ground
(Repeat Chorus)
Why Ain't I Running Lyrics – Garth Brooks
I can hear the highway calling
As I watch the sunrise crawling across her shoulder
This is usually good-bye
And yet those words I just cant find as hold her
She's like no other woman
That I have ever known before
And it Ain't me to see the morning sun
From this side of the door
Why ain't I running, why ain't I gone
How does she hold me, without holding on
In love or a fight, she's stronger than strong
Something's not right if there ain't nothing wrong
It's got me wondering, why ain't I running
Why ain't I gone
All those words I left behind me
Praying they would never find me and my freedom
But if they stood right here beside me
The would never recognize me for all that she's done
Once happiness was only
Whenever I was on my own
So now why do I feel lonely
Any time that I'm alone
Why ain't I running, why ain't I gone
How does she hold me, without holding on
In love or a fight, she's stronger than strong
Something's not right if there ain't nothing wrong
It's got me wondering, why ain't I running
Why ain't I gone
No, they've never built a wall this high
Or made a chain that strong
And God ain't never made a place
I felt like I belong
Why ain't I running, why ain't I gone
How does she hold me, without holding on
In love or a fight, she's stronger than strong
Something's not right if there ain't nothing wrong
It's got me wondering, why ain't I running
Why ain't I gone
As I watch the sunrise crawling across her shoulder
This is usually good-bye
And yet those words I just cant find as hold her
She's like no other woman
That I have ever known before
And it Ain't me to see the morning sun
From this side of the door
Why ain't I running, why ain't I gone
How does she hold me, without holding on
In love or a fight, she's stronger than strong
Something's not right if there ain't nothing wrong
It's got me wondering, why ain't I running
Why ain't I gone
All those words I left behind me
Praying they would never find me and my freedom
But if they stood right here beside me
The would never recognize me for all that she's done
Once happiness was only
Whenever I was on my own
So now why do I feel lonely
Any time that I'm alone
Why ain't I running, why ain't I gone
How does she hold me, without holding on
In love or a fight, she's stronger than strong
Something's not right if there ain't nothing wrong
It's got me wondering, why ain't I running
Why ain't I gone
No, they've never built a wall this high
Or made a chain that strong
And God ain't never made a place
I felt like I belong
Why ain't I running, why ain't I gone
How does she hold me, without holding on
In love or a fight, she's stronger than strong
Something's not right if there ain't nothing wrong
It's got me wondering, why ain't I running
Why ain't I gone
Beer Run (B-double E-double Are You In?) (Garth Brooks with George Jones) Lyrics – Garth Brooks
Twenty-five minutes past quitting time
Seven of us crammed into that truck of mine
Paying no attention to them highway signs
Going 90 mile an hour toward that county line
Quick sack, 12 pack, back again
It's a B-double E-double are you in?
My buddy and their babies letting down their hair
As long as were together it don't matter where
Ain't got a lot of money but we just don't care
Knowing that the fun is in the getting there
Aztec, long necks, paychecks spent
It's a B, double E, double R, U, N
Oh I cant stop thinking
What the hell they were drinking
When they made this county dry
I got a week long thirst and what makes it worse
lord it's my turn to drive
Laughing and a bragging and a' carrying on
We loaded up the wagon and we headed home
I guess half a dozen cases doesn't last that long
Come tomorrow morning it'll be all gone
It's turn around, leave town, sounds again
Like a B, double E, double R, U, N
Like a B, double E, double R, U, N
Seven of us crammed into that truck of mine
Paying no attention to them highway signs
Going 90 mile an hour toward that county line
Quick sack, 12 pack, back again
It's a B-double E-double are you in?
My buddy and their babies letting down their hair
As long as were together it don't matter where
Ain't got a lot of money but we just don't care
Knowing that the fun is in the getting there
Aztec, long necks, paychecks spent
It's a B, double E, double R, U, N
Oh I cant stop thinking
What the hell they were drinking
When they made this county dry
I got a week long thirst and what makes it worse
lord it's my turn to drive
Laughing and a bragging and a' carrying on
We loaded up the wagon and we headed home
I guess half a dozen cases doesn't last that long
Come tomorrow morning it'll be all gone
It's turn around, leave town, sounds again
Like a B, double E, double R, U, N
Like a B, double E, double R, U, N
Wrapped Up In You Lyrics – Garth Brooks
How do I love you
Well let me see
I love you like a lyric loves a melody
Baby, completely
Wrapped up in you
How do I need you
Well can't you tell
I need you like a penny
Needs a wishing well
Baby, completely
Wrapped up in you
Every now and then
When the world
That were living in is crazy
You gladly hold me and carry me through
No one in the world's ever done
What you did for me
And I'd be sad and lonely
If there were no you
How do I love you
Well count the ways
There ain't no number high enough
To end this phrase
Baby, completely
Wrapped up in you
(Bye, rhythmically singing to the beat of the music)
Every now and then
When the world
That were living in is crazy
You gladly hold me and carry me through
No one in the world has ever done
What you did for me
And I'd be sad and lonely
If there were no you
How do I love you
Well don't you know
I love you bout as deep
As any love can grow
Baby, completely
Wrapped up in you
Baby, completely
Wrapped up in you
Well let me see
I love you like a lyric loves a melody
Baby, completely
Wrapped up in you
How do I need you
Well can't you tell
I need you like a penny
Needs a wishing well
Baby, completely
Wrapped up in you
Every now and then
When the world
That were living in is crazy
You gladly hold me and carry me through
No one in the world's ever done
What you did for me
And I'd be sad and lonely
If there were no you
How do I love you
Well count the ways
There ain't no number high enough
To end this phrase
Baby, completely
Wrapped up in you
(Bye, rhythmically singing to the beat of the music)
Every now and then

If there were no you
How do I love you
Well don't you know
I love you bout as deep
As any love can grow
Baby, completely
Wrapped up in you
Baby, completely
Wrapped up in you
The Storm Lyrics – Garth Brooks
She sits among the pieces of broken glass and photographs
Reluctantly releases the last of what was her past
It struck without warning or did she just ignore the signs
In those dark clouds forming behind those silver lines
The door it slammed like thunder and the tears they fell like rain
And the warnings from her family whirl like a hurricane
She's drowning in emotions and she cannot reach the shore
She's alive but can she survive the storm
A broken jewel box dancer in pieces down the hall
She's finding out the answers don't change nothing at all
It's time she stopped searching for who's to blame or what went wrong
The only thing for certain is he's gone, she's got to move on
The door it slammed like thunder and the tears they fell like rain
And the warnings from her family whirl like a hurricane
She's drowning in emotions and she cannot reach the shore
She's alive but can she survive the storm
Someday days just roll on by without a gray cloud in the sky
She keeps telling herself, "I will make it on my own"
And her friends they've all gone back to their lives
Thinking she will be all right
As she races through the night to make it home
The door it slammed like thunder and the tears they fell like rain
And the warnings from her family whirl like a hurricane
She's drowning in emotions and she cannot reach the shore
She's alive but can she survive the storm
Reluctantly releases the last of what was her past
It struck without warning or did she just ignore the signs
In those dark clouds forming behind those silver lines
The door it slammed like thunder and the tears they fell like rain
And the warnings from her family whirl like a hurricane
She's drowning in emotions and she cannot reach the shore
She's alive but can she survive the storm
A broken jewel box dancer in pieces down the hall
She's finding out the answers don't change nothing at all
It's time she stopped searching for who's to blame or what went wrong
The only thing for certain is he's gone, she's got to move on
The door it slammed like thunder and the tears they fell like rain
And the warnings from her family whirl like a hurricane
She's drowning in emotions and she cannot reach the shore
She's alive but can she survive the storm
Someday days just roll on by without a gray cloud in the sky
She keeps telling herself, "I will make it on my own"
And her friends they've all gone back to their lives
Thinking she will be all right
As she races through the night to make it home
The door it slammed like thunder and the tears they fell like rain
And the warnings from her family whirl like a hurricane
She's drowning in emotions and she cannot reach the shore
She's alive but can she survive the storm
Thicker Than Blood Lyrics – Garth Brooks
She was born in Kansas City, raised in Arkansas
Fell in love with an "ex-Marine"
She already had three babies; he had one of his own
They came together for another and me
Our family never shared the same last name
But our family was a family the same
(And they say) Blood is thicker than water
Oh, but love is thicker than blood
Wreck out on the highway, rain falling down
Lord, he must have fell asleep at the wheel
There's a number of people just standing around
Lord, I can't condemn the fear that they feel
For that river of red could be the death of me
God, give me strength and keep reminding me
That blood is thicker than water
Oh, but love is thicker than blood
And if blood is thicker that water
Then what are we fighting for
We're all sons and daughters
Of something that means so much more
I see it on my TV but i can't understand
Lord, it's one big contradiction to me
How in God's name we love thy neighbor with fists
in our hands
And kill each other when we just don't agree
Why can't we see the walls we can't see through
And see what God's been telling me and you
(and that is) Blood is thicker than water
Oh, but love, love is thicker than blood
She was born in Kansas City, raised in Arkansas
Fell in love with an "ex-Marine"
Fell in love with an "ex-Marine"
She already had three babies; he had one of his own
They came together for another and me
Our family never shared the same last name
But our family was a family the same
(And they say) Blood is thicker than water
Oh, but love is thicker than blood
Wreck out on the highway, rain falling down
Lord, he must have fell asleep at the wheel
There's a number of people just standing around
Lord, I can't condemn the fear that they feel
For that river of red could be the death of me
God, give me strength and keep reminding me
That blood is thicker than water
Oh, but love is thicker than blood
And if blood is thicker that water
Then what are we fighting for
We're all sons and daughters
Of something that means so much more
I see it on my TV but i can't understand
Lord, it's one big contradiction to me
How in God's name we love thy neighbor with fists
in our hands
And kill each other when we just don't agree
Why can't we see the walls we can't see through
And see what God's been telling me and you
(and that is) Blood is thicker than water
Oh, but love, love is thicker than blood
She was born in Kansas City, raised in Arkansas
Fell in love with an "ex-Marine"
Big Money Lyrics – Garth Brooks
My older brother Tommy was a lineman rest his soul
His job was hanging hot wire on them high-line power poles
Every morning bright and early he'd climb way up in the sky
And i never understood it so one day I asked him why
He said it pays big money and man I'm into that
It pays big money of you're willing to take a chance
let me tell you something, sonny, you ought to see my bank account
It pays big money but he sure can't spend it now
Well, my late uncle Charlie was this demolition hound
He'd travel across the country blowing buildings to the ground
He carried a case of dynamite seemed everywhere he went
He smoked them big long cigars and he'd wink at you and grin
He said it pays big money and man I'm into that
It pays big money of you're willing to take a chance
let me tell you something, sonny, you ought to see my bank account
It pays big money but he sure can't spend it now
Well, now the moral of this story, boys, is don't go getting yourself killed
Be nice to your rich relatives they just might put you in their will
That pays big money and we're all into that
It pays big money and big money's where it's at
Let me tell you something, sonny, you ought to see my bank account
It pays big money and we're rolling in it now
It pays big money having foolish kin
It pays big money, guess i owe it all to them
Let me show you something, sonny, take a look at this bank account
It pays big money let's all spend some of it now
His job was hanging hot wire on them high-line power poles
Every morning bright and early he'd climb way up in the sky
And i never understood it so one day I asked him why
He said it pays big money and man I'm into that
It pays big money of you're willing to take a chance
let me tell you something, sonny, you ought to see my bank account
It pays big money but he sure can't spend it now
Well, my late uncle Charlie was this demolition hound

Squeeze Me In (Garth Brooks with Trisha Yearwood) Lyrics – Garth Brooks
Honey I know you got a good job
Out there making all that dough
They keep late working that overtime
And I don't ever see you no more
Guess your not checking your message machine
Seem like your never in
Oh but I got a hunch, if we can just do lunch
I can get your attention again
I know you got your schedule and your keeping it tight
You got something going morning noon and night
But i got something here I think your gonna like
Honey can you squeeze me in
Who ever said it's a mans world
Don't know what he's talking about
You got me working around the clock
Honey trying to figure you out
I know time is money
There's more to life honey
Than how much you can spend
You gotta make a little time for the good times
Honey can you squeeze me in
I got it circled in red on the calendar, baby
You told me that tonight's the night
I've got the Champaign chilled
I've got a gourmet meal, soft music and candlelight
I try to get you on the phone and I get stuck on hold
I guess you keep getting sidetracked
I've been faxing you love notes all day long
I know you got your schedule and your keeping it tight
You got something going morning noon and night
But i got something here I think your gonna like
Honey can you squeeze me in
Who ever said it's a mans world
Sure knows what he's talking about
You got me working around the clock
Honey trying to figure you out
I know time is money
There's more to life honey
Than how much you can spend
You gotta make a little time for the good times
Honey can you squeeze me in
Who ever said it's a mans world
Don't know what he's talking about
You got me working around the clock
Honey trying to figure you out
I know time is money
There's more to life honey
Than how much you can spend
You gotta make a little time for the good times
Honey can you squeeze me in
Let's make a little time for the good times
Honey can you squeeze me in
Out there making all that dough
They keep late working that overtime
And I don't ever see you no more
Guess your not checking your message machine

Mr. Midnight Lyrics – Garth Brooks
Rain on the room and time on my hands
It sure seemed quiet out there in radio land
They call me at the all-night station
Make their special dedications
And I do my best to play their request
When it's a desperate situation
This was a desperate situation
I'm Mr. Midnight alone and blue
The brokenhearted call me up
When they don't know what else to do
Every song is a reminder of the love that they once knew
I'm Mr. Midnight, can I play a song for you
"Caller on the line could you please hold on?"
I recognized her voice the minute i picked up the phone
Should I tell her that it's me or leave it at a memory
Haven't been myself since the day she left
And I'm never gonna be
I'm forever gonna be
I'm Mr. Midnight alone and blue
The brokenhearted call me up
When they don't know what else to do
Every song is a reminder of the love that they once knew
I'm Mr. Midnight, can I play a song for you
Imagine my surprise when she spoke my name
She said, "Could you tell him that I love him
and I wish things could be the same."
Then a voice I never knew
Said, "Honey who you talking to?"
I'm Mr. Midnight alone and blue
The brokenhearted call me up
When they don't know what else to do
Every song is a reminder of the love that they once knew
I'm Mr. Midnight, can I play a song for you
It sure seemed quiet out there in radio land
They call me at the all-night station
Make their special dedications
And I do my best to play their request
When it's a desperate situation
This was a desperate situation
I'm Mr. Midnight alone and blue
The brokenhearted call me up
When they don't know what else to do
Every song is a reminder of the love that they once knew
I'm Mr. Midnight, can I play a song for you
"Caller on the line could you please hold on?"
I recognized her voice the minute i picked up the phone
Should I tell her that it's me or leave it at a memory
Haven't been myself since the day she left
And I'm never gonna be
I'm forever gonna be
I'm Mr. Midnight alone and blue
The brokenhearted call me up
When they don't know what else to do
Every song is a reminder of the love that they once knew
I'm Mr. Midnight, can I play a song for you
Imagine my surprise when she spoke my name
She said, "Could you tell him that I love him
and I wish things could be the same."
Then a voice I never knew
Said, "Honey who you talking to?"
I'm Mr. Midnight alone and blue
The brokenhearted call me up
When they don't know what else to do
Every song is a reminder of the love that they once knew
I'm Mr. Midnight, can I play a song for you
Pushing Up Daisies Lyrics – Garth Brooks
Sometimes I tell you the way that I feel
I swear that I'm going crazy
keep telling myself it ain't that big a deal
It's better than pushing up daisies
I felt the arrow from death's fatal quiver
Come so close it actually grazed me
I bled the blood and i felt the cold shiver
God only knows how He saved me
There's two dates in time
That they'll carve on your stone
And everyone knows what they mean
What's more important
Is the time that is known
In that little dash there in between
That little dash there in between
Sometimes my heart is as true as a dove
Sometimes my heart it betrays me
So i draw my sword for to fight for my love
But without a whisper she slays me
My mother died but somehow she keeps living
She'll never cease to amaze me
Now Dad turns his back on each day that he's given
Because he'd rather be pushing up daisies
There's two dates in time
That they'll carve on your stone
And everyone knows what they mean
What's more important
Is the time that is known
In that little dash there in between
That little dash there in between
I swear that I'm going crazy
keep telling myself it ain't that big a deal
It's better than pushing up daisies
I felt the arrow from death's fatal quiver
Come so close it actually grazed me
I bled the blood and i felt the cold shiver
God only knows how He saved me
There's two dates in time
That they'll carve on your stone
And everyone knows what they mean
What's more important
Is the time that is known
In that little dash there in between
That little dash there in between
Sometimes my heart is as true as a dove
Sometimes my heart it betrays me
So i draw my sword for to fight for my love
But without a whisper she slays me
My mother died but somehow she keeps living
She'll never cease to amaze me
Now Dad turns his back on each day that he's given
Because he'd rather be pushing up daisies
There's two dates in time
That they'll carve on your stone
And everyone knows what they mean
What's more important
Is the time that is known
In that little dash there in between
That little dash there in between
Rodeo Or Mexico Lyrics – Garth Brooks
For a change I headed south across the border
For the Paso's and a different horse to ride
I'd be back to make the rodeo in Waco
But that was long before I saw those dark brown eyes
With long black hair and English bad and broken
Her body said the words she couldn't find
Cause i hung on every word she left unspoken
The question started leaning on my mind
Rodeo or Mexico
They both keep a cowboy satisfied
Rodeo or Mexico
The only way I know how to decide
Is just get on and ride
We danced all night beneath that sheet of cotton
And you just don't tell a girl like that good-bye
But the cowboy life ain't easily forgotten
Though lying there I couldn't help but wonder why
Rodeo or Mexico
They both keep a cowboy satisfied
Rodeo or Mexico
The only way I know how to decide
Is just get on and ride
The morning found the answer dawning on me
As I woke up to the sharp end of a knife
He was screaming at the woman hanging on me
Does anybody know the Spanish word for wife
Rodeo or Mexico
They both keep a cowboy satisfied
Rodeo or Mexico
The only way I know how to decide
Is just get on and ride
For the Paso's and a different horse to ride
I'd be back to make the rodeo in Waco
But that was long before I saw those dark brown eyes
With long black hair and English bad and broken
Her body said the words she couldn't find
Cause i hung on every word she left unspoken
The question started leaning on my mind
Rodeo or Mexico
They both keep a cowboy satisfied
Rodeo or Mexico
The only way I know how to decide
Is just get on and ride
We danced all night beneath that sheet of cotton
And you just don't tell a girl like that good-bye
But the cowboy life ain't easily forgotten
Though lying there I couldn't help but wonder why
Rodeo or Mexico
They both keep a cowboy satisfied
Rodeo or Mexico
The only way I know how to decide
Is just get on and ride
The morning found the answer dawning on me
As I woke up to the sharp end of a knife
He was screaming at the woman hanging on me
Does anybody know the Spanish word for wife
Rodeo or Mexico
They both keep a cowboy satisfied
Rodeo or Mexico
The only way I know how to decide

Don't Cross The River Lyrics – Garth Brooks
There's a little girl out lying on her own
She's got a broken heart
She's not the kind to take you down for long
She knows and plays it smart
And if she's coming, she's shown no more
She's heard no whistle blowing from the door
She feels like leaving and don't know why
Without no bridges she's trapped, so i sigh
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
Don't try denying lying on the other side
All your life you were on your own
If you want you can ride my train
Soon forget the reason that you're leaving
Lose yourself and then sometimes
Maybe even save yourself some grieving
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
Don't try denying lying on the other side
All your life you were on your own
If you want you can ride my train
Soon forget the reason that you're leaving
Lose yourself and then sometimes
Maybe even save yourself some grieving
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
Don't try denying lying on the other side
All your life you were on your own
She's got a broken heart
She's not the kind to take you down for long
She knows and plays it smart
And if she's coming, she's shown no more
She's heard no whistle blowing from the door
She feels like leaving and don't know why
Without no bridges she's trapped, so i sigh
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
Don't try denying lying on the other side
All your life you were on your own
If you want you can ride my train
Soon forget the reason that you're leaving
Lose yourself and then sometimes
Maybe even save yourself some grieving
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
Don't try denying lying on the other side
All your life you were on your own
If you want you can ride my train
Soon forget the reason that you're leaving
Lose yourself and then sometimes
Maybe even save yourself some grieving
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
Don't try denying lying on the other side
All your life you were on your own
When You Come Back to Me Again Lyrics – Garth Brooks
There’s a ship out on the ocean,
At the mercy of the sea.
It’s been tossed about,
Lost and broken,
Wandering aimlessly.
And God somehow you know,
That ship is me.
‘Cause there’s a lighthouse,
In a harbor,
Shining faithfully.
Pouring its light out,
Across the water.
For this sinking soul to see,
That someone out there still believes in me.
On a prayer,
In a song,
I hear your voice,
And it keeps me hanging on.
Oh, raining down, against the wind.
I’m reaching out,
‘Till we reach the circle’s end.
When you come back to me again.
There’s a moment,
There we all come to.
In our own time and in our own space.
Where all that we’ve done,
We can undo,
If our hearts’ in the right place.
On a prayer,
In a song,
I hear your voice,
And it keeps me hanging on.
Oh, raining down, against the wind.
I’m reaching out,
‘Till we reach the circle’s end.
And you come back to me again.
And again I see,
My yesterday’s in front of me,
Unfolding like a mystery.
You’re changing all that is and used to be.
On a prayer,
In a song,
I hear your voice,
And it keeps me hanging on.
Oh, raining down, against the wind.
I’m reaching out,
‘Till we reach the circle’s end.
When you come back to me again.
When you come back to me again.

It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year Lyrics – Garth Brooks
It's the most wonderful time of the year

With the kids jingle-belling
And everyone telling you

Marshmallows for roasting
And caroling out in the snow (out in the snow)
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas Lyrics – Garth Brooks
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on our troubles
Will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the yuletide gay
From now on our troubles will be far away
Once again as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough, ooh
Once again as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Let your heart be light
From now on our troubles
Will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the yuletide gay
From now on our troubles will be far away
Once again as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough, ooh
Once again as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Let It Snow Lyrics – Garth Brooks
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong, ding dong
The weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
Oh, since we've no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Well it doesn't show signs of stopping
But we've got some corn for popping
And the lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
When we finally kiss goodnight
How I hate going out in the storm
But as long as you hold me tight
Woah all the way home I'll be warm
Well the fire is slowly dying
But my dear we're still goodbye-ing
And as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow (let it snow)
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow (let it snow)
When we finally kiss goodnight
How I hate going out in the storm
But as long as you hold me tight
Hoah all the way home I'll be warm
Oh the fire is slowly dying
But my dear we're still goodbye-ing
And as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow (let it snow)
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
The weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
Oh, since we've no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Well it doesn't show signs of stopping
But we've got some corn for popping
And the lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
When we finally kiss goodnight
How I hate going out in the storm
But as long as you hold me tight
Woah all the way home I'll be warm
Well the fire is slowly dying
But my dear we're still goodbye-ing
And as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow (let it snow)
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow (let it snow)
When we finally kiss goodnight
How I hate going out in the storm
But as long as you hold me tight
Hoah all the way home I'll be warm
Oh the fire is slowly dying
But my dear we're still goodbye-ing
And as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow (let it snow)
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Winter Wonderland Lyrics – Garth Brooks
Over the ground lies a mantel of white
A heaven of diamonds
Shine down through the night
Two hearts are thrilling
In spite of the chilling weather
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is the new bird
He sings a love song as we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say "are you married?", we'll say "no man"
But you can do the job when your in town
Later on (later on) we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid the plans that we made
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say "are you married?", we'll say "no man"
But you can do the job when your in town
Later on we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid the plans that we made
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking, just a walking,
Walking, just a walking in a winter wonderland
Ooh, ooh, ooh
A heaven of diamonds
Shine down through the night
Two hearts are thrilling
In spite of the chilling weather
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is the new bird
He sings a love song as we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say "are you married?", we'll say "no man"
But you can do the job when your in town
Later on (later on) we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid the plans that we made
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say "are you married?", we'll say "no man"
But you can do the job when your in town
Later on we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid the plans that we made
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking, just a walking,
Walking, just a walking in a winter wonderland
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Mary Had A Little Lamb Lyrics – Garth Brooks
Mary had a little lamb
One holy morning
'Neath the star of Bethlehem
A brand new day was forming
Guided by the shining light
And the angel's voice
Wise men traveled through the night
To see the baby boy
'Cause Mary had a little lamb
King of kings and son of man
Mary had a little lamb of God
They gathered 'round to see the lamb
In the manger sleeping
Such a humble throne for Him
The promise God was keeping
There the shepards bowed their heads
Among the cattle lowing
The first ever Christmas gift
Was wrapped in swaddling clothes
Mary had a little lamb
King of kings and son of man
Mary had a little lamb of God
For the world a sacrifice
Mary did give birth
The way she held him in her arms
Is how He holds the earth
Mary had a little lamb
King of kings and son of man
Mary had a little lamb of God
Mary had a little lamb
King of kings and son of man
Mary had a little lamb of God
Oh, Mary had a little lamb
King of kings and son of man
Mary had a little lamb of God
One holy morning
'Neath the star of Bethlehem
A brand new day was forming
Guided by the shining light
And the angel's voice
Wise men traveled through the night
To see the baby boy
'Cause Mary had a little lamb
King of kings and son of man
Mary had a little lamb of God
They gathered 'round to see the lamb
In the manger sleeping
Such a humble throne for Him
The promise God was keeping
There the shepards bowed their heads
Among the cattle lowing
The first ever Christmas gift
Was wrapped in swaddling clothes
Mary had a little lamb
King of kings and son of man
Mary had a little lamb of God
For the world a sacrifice
Mary did give birth
The way she held him in her arms
Is how He holds the earth
Mary had a little lamb
King of kings and son of man
Mary had a little lamb of God
Mary had a little lamb
King of kings and son of man
Mary had a little lamb of God
Oh, Mary had a little lamb
King of kings and son of man
Mary had a little lamb of God
The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire) Lyrics – Garth Brooks
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see of reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Though it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Though it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas (merry merry Christmas)
Merry Christmas to you
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see of reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Though it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Though it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas (merry merry Christmas)
Merry Christmas to you

Sleigh Ride Lyrics – Garth Brooks
Just hear those sleigh bells jingling
Ring-ting-tingling too
Come on its lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling yoo-hoo
Come on its lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up let's go
Let's look at the show
We're riding in a winterland of snow
Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, it's grand
Just holding your hand
We're gliding along with the songs
Of a wintry wonderland
Our cheeks are nice and rosy
Comfy cozy are we
We're snuggling close together
Like two birds of a feather should be
Let's take the road before us
And sing a chorus or two
Come on it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
There's a birthday party
At the house of Farmer Gray
It'll be the perfect ending
To the perfect day
We'll be singing the songs
We love to sing
Without a single stop
At the fireplace where
We'll watch the chestnuts pop pop pop
There's a happy feeling
Nothing in the world can buy
When they pass around the coffee
And the pumpkin pie
It'll nearly be like a picture print
By Courier and Ives
These wonderful things are the things
We'll remember all through our lives
These wonderful things are the things
We'll remember all through our lives
Just hear those sleigh bells jingling
Ring-ting-tingling too
Come on its lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling yoo-hoo
Come on its lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Its lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you know who
Its lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Ring-ting-tingling too
Come on its lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling yoo-hoo
Come on its lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up let's go
Let's look at the show
We're riding in a winterland of snow
Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, it's grand
Just holding your hand
We're gliding along with the songs
Of a wintry wonderland
Our cheeks are nice and rosy
Comfy cozy are we
We're snuggling close together
Like two birds of a feather should be
Let's take the road before us

Silver Bells Lyrics – Garth Brooks
Oooooooooh
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing, people passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you hear
Silver bells (silver bells)
Silver bells (silver bells)
It's Christmastime in the city
Ring-a-ling (ring-a-ling)
Hear them ring (hear them ring)
Soon it will be Chistmas Day
Strings of street lights
Even stop lights
Blink of bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home
With their treasures
Hear the snow crunch
See the kids bunch
This is Santa's big scene
And above all this bustle you hear
Silver bells (silver bells)
Silver bells (silver bells)
It's Christmastime in the city
Ring-a-ling (ring-a-ling),
Hear them ring (hear them ring)
Soon it will be Chistmas Day
Soon it will be Christmas Day
Soon it will be Christmas Day
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing, people passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you hear
Silver bells (silver bells)
Silver bells (silver bells)
It's Christmastime in the city
Ring-a-ling (ring-a-ling)
Hear them ring (hear them ring)
Soon it will be Chistmas Day
Strings of street lights
Even stop lights
Blink of bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home
With their treasures

(There's No Place Like) Home For The Holidays Lyrics – Garth Brooks
Oh, there's no place like home for the holidays
'Cause no matter how far away you roam
If you long for the sunshine and a friendly gaze
For the holidays you can't beat home sweet home
I met a man who lived in Tennessee
And he was looking for
Pennsylvania and some homemade pumpkin pie
Now in Pennsylvania folks are traveling
Down to Dixie's sunny shore
The Atlantic to Pacific
Oh the season is terrific
No, there's no place like home for the holidays
For the holidays you can't beat home sweet home
Oooh, oooh, ahhhh
Do do do do do do, do do do do do do
No, there's no (no) place like home for the holidays
'Cause no matter how far away you roam
If you long for the sunshine and a friendly gaze
For the holidays you can't beat home sweet home
For the holidays you know
You can't beat home sweet home
'Cause no matter how far away you roam
If you long for the sunshine and a friendly gaze
For the holidays you can't beat home sweet home
I met a man who lived in Tennessee
And he was looking for
Pennsylvania and some homemade pumpkin pie
Now in Pennsylvania folks are traveling
Down to Dixie's sunny shore
The Atlantic to Pacific
Oh the season is terrific
No, there's no place like home for the holidays
For the holidays you can't beat home sweet home
Oooh, oooh, ahhhh
Do do do do do do, do do do do do do
No, there's no (no) place like home for the holidays
'Cause no matter how far away you roam
If you long for the sunshine and a friendly gaze
For the holidays you can't beat home sweet home

You can't beat home sweet home
Zat You, Santa Claus? Lyrics – Garth Brooks
Zat you, Santa Claus?
Gifts I'm preparin'
For some Christmas sharin'
But I pause because
Hangin' my stockin'
I can hear a knockin'
'Zat you, Santa Claus
Sure is dark out
Not the slighest spark out
Pardon my clackin' jaws
Uh, who there
Who is it
Uh, stoppin' for a visit
'Zat you, Santa Claus
Are you bringin' a present for me
Something pleasantly pleasant for me
That's what I've been waitin' for
Would you mind slippin' it under the door
Four winds are howlin'
Or maybe that be growlin'
My legs feel like straws
Oh my, my, me, my
Kindly would you reply
'Zat you, Santa Claus
Yeah
Oh hangin' my stockin'
I can hear a knockin'
'Zat you, Santa Claus
Yeah, say now
Hey there, who is it
Stoppin' for a visit
'Zat you, Santa Claus
Whoa there Santa you gave me a scare
Now stop teasin' 'cause I know you're there
We don't believe in no goblins today
But I can't explain why I'm shakin' this way
Well I see old Santa in the keyhole
I'll give to the cause
One peek and I'll try there
Uh-oh there's an eye there
'Zat you, Santa Claus
Please, please
I pity my knees
Say that's you Santa Claus
That's him alright
Gifts I'm preparin'
For some Christmas sharin'
But I pause because
Hangin' my stockin'
I can hear a knockin'
'Zat you, Santa Claus
Sure is dark out
Not the slighest spark out

The Wise Men's Journey Lyrics – Garth Brooks
(Instumental)
This piece was written by seeing the journey
of the wise men. The opening note on the piano
is the Star of Bethlehem. The shimmering is our
trip down from the Star to the sands that are lit
by the midnight sky. The first melody of music
is the first camel as it slowly passes by. When
the melody begins to harmonize with itself, we
see the secong camel pass. The third and final
camel begins the majority of the piece. In the
faces of the wise men we see weariness driven
by faith. The gifts they are bearing are ones of
request and honor. The music slows to reveal,
over the last hill of sand, the little town of
Bethlehem , the end of their journey and the
beginning of hope.

O Little Town Of Bethlehem Lyrics – Garth Brooks
O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
O holy child of Bethlehem
Descend to us we pray
Cast out our sins and enter in
Be born to us today
O morning stars together
Proclaim thy holy birth
And praises sing to God the King
And peace to men on earth
O hear thy sacred angels
As faith holds wide the door
Then darkness wakes, the glory breaks
As Christmas comes once more
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
O holy child of Bethlehem
Descend to us we pray
Cast out our sins and enter in
Be born to us today
O morning stars together
Proclaim thy holy birth
And praises sing to God the King
And peace to men on earth
O hear thy sacred angels
As faith holds wide the door
Then darkness wakes, the glory breaks
As Christmas comes once more
The Cowboy Song Lyrics – Garth Brooks
Pushin horns weren't easy like the movie said it was
And I don't recall no dance hall girls
Or hotel rooms with rugs
You worked hot and tired and nasty
Rode your pony's head too low
There were all the nights you couldn't sleep
'Cause it was too damn cold
And you'd sing "Strawberry Roan" and "Little Joe"
Like the time we hit the river
And the rains began to fall
And the water was risin' so damn fast
We thought it'd drown us all
We lost a lot of steers that day
And four to five good mounts
But when all the boys rode into camp
We knew that's what counts
And we sang, yippie ti yi yay and "Amazing Grace"
Or the night they broke behind us
And then took us by surprise
I whistled out to Bonner, I seen the terror in his eyes
And he rode for all his horse would ride
And I know he done his best
But he crossed over Jordan ridin' Dunny to his death
And we sang "Bringing in the Sheaves" and "The Rugged Cross"
So when you see the cowboy, he's not ragged by his choice
He never meant to bow them legs
Or put that gravel in his voice
He's just chasin' what he really loves
And what's burnin' in his soul
Wishin' to God that he'd benn born a hundred years ago
Still singin' "Strawberry Roan" and "Little Joe"
And I don't recall no dance hall girls
Or hotel rooms with rugs
You worked hot and tired and nasty
Rode your pony's head too low
There were all the nights you couldn't sleep
'Cause it was too damn cold
And you'd sing "Strawberry Roan" and "Little Joe"
Like the time we hit the river
And the rains began to fall
And the water was risin' so damn fast
We thought it'd drown us all
We lost a lot of steers that day
And four to five good mounts
But when all the boys rode into camp
We knew that's what counts
And we sang, yippie ti yi yay and "Amazing Grace"
Or the night they broke behind us
And then took us by surprise
I whistled out to Bonner, I seen the terror in his eyes
And he rode for all his horse would ride
And I know he done his best
But he crossed over Jordan ridin' Dunny to his death
And we sang "Bringing in the Sheaves" and "The Rugged Cross"
So when you see the cowboy, he's not ragged by his choice

And what's burnin' in his soul

The Old Stuff Lyrics – Garth Brooks
Oh I said a little prayer tonight
Before I came on stage
As I came walkin' past the drivers
And the locals on the union wage
I asked the good Lord up in heaven
Let me treat the music right
Then I prayed that Detroit
Goes wild tonight
Seven pickers and all our gear in a rental van
Playin' music never sleepin' and workin' on a neon tan
We played The Barn down in Sanford Florida
For Bev Roberts out in Camden Park
We plugged it in up east at Bull Run
And the place went dark
Back when the old stuff was new
Back before the buses and the
Hard workin' boys in the crew
asIt was one big party
But the business called it payin' our dues
Back when the old stuff was new
Oh the stories we could tell
If it weren't for the code of the road
About The Buckboard, Bear Creek, Cowboys, and the Grizzly Rose
You know the weather turned bad in Scottsdale
A tornado nearly stole the show
We just danced in the rain and listened to the thunder roll
Back when the old stuff was new
Hats off to the K.C. Opry and ellA GURU'S
It was one big party
Uncle Joe you know we owe it to you
Back when the old stuff was new
No rules young fools comin' from the old school
Takin' on the world alone
Next date can't wait tearin' up the interstate
Every place we played was home
Balls out no doubt this is what it's all about
Beggin' for a place to play
Swingin' with our low friends
Prayin' that it never ends
Wouldn't trade a single day
Back when the old stuff was new
Back before the buses and the
Hard workin' boys in the crew
It was one big party
But the paper's called it payin' our dues
Back when the old stuff was new
Hey it's still one big party
You can call it whatever you choose
You make me feel like the old stuff is new
Before I came on stage
As I came walkin' past the drivers
And the locals on the union wage
I asked the good Lord up in heaven
Let me treat the music right
Then I prayed that Detroit
Goes wild tonight
Seven pickers and all our gear in a rental van
Playin' music never sleepin' and workin' on a neon tan

Cowboys and Angels Lyrics – Garth Brooks
On the eighth day God noticed a problem
For there below Him stood a cowboy alone
Stubborn and proud, reckless and loud
God knew he'd never make it on his own
So God looked out all over creation
And listened as that cowboy prayed
God took passion and thunder
Patience and wonder then He sent down
The best thing that God ever made
Cowboys and angels leather and lace
Salt of the earth meets heavenly grace
Cowboys and angels tested and tried
It's a long way to heaven
And one hell of a ride
Nothin's changed since the dawn of creation
For you will find them together today
And only heaven above them knows why she loves him
But he must be the reason she don't fly away
Cowboys and angels leather and lace
Salt of the earth meets heavenly grace
Cowboys and angels tested and tried
It's a long way to heaven
And one hell of a ride
It's a long way to heaven
And one hell of a ride
For there below Him stood a cowboy alone
Stubborn and proud, reckless and loud
God knew he'd never make it on his own
So God looked out all over creation
And listened as that cowboy prayed
God took passion and thunder
Patience and wonder then He sent down
The best thing that God ever made
Cowboys and angels leather and lace
Salt of the earth meets heavenly grace
Cowboys and angels tested and tried
It's a long way to heaven
And one hell of a ride
Nothin's changed since the dawn of creation
For you will find them together today
And only heaven above them knows why she loves him
But he must be the reason she don't fly away
Cowboys and angels leather and lace
Salt of the earth meets heavenly grace
Cowboys and angels tested and tried
It's a long way to heaven
And one hell of a ride
It's a long way to heaven
And one hell of a ride
The Fever Lyrics – Garth Brooks
He's got a split finger wrap
And his rope's pulled way to tight
He's got a lunatic smile
'Cause he's really drawn deep tonight
He's got a fever, fever, fever, fever
Grab a hold of anything and hold on tight
It hits you like the venom from a rattle snake bite
We're all here 'cause he's not all there tonight
He takes one breath
And time turns inside out
Then the gate busts open to the world he dreams about
He's got a fever, fever, fever, fever
Stick a rope on anything 'cause he don't care
He'd even take a ride on the electric chair
We're all here cause he's not all there tonight
He says it's really kind of simple
Keep your mind in the middle
While your butt spins 'round and 'round
Take heed to Sankey's preachin'
Keep liftin' and reachin'
And ridin' like there ain't no clowns
What he loves might kill him
But he's got no choice
He's a different breed
With a voice down deep inside
That's screamin' he was born to ride
He's got a fever, fever, fever, fever
Fever makes you crazy 'cause it makes no sense
Like runnin' from your shadow out of self-defense
He won't run and baby he can't hide
He thinks the odds are even leavin' one hand tied
He gets so tired of hangin' on so tight
I know you think he's crazy well I think you're right
We're all here 'cause he's not all there that's right
And his rope's pulled way to tight
He's got a lunatic smile
'Cause he's really drawn deep tonight
He's got a fever, fever, fever, fever
Grab a hold of anything and hold on tight
It hits you like the venom from a rattle snake bite
We're all here 'cause he's not all there tonight
He takes one breath
And time turns inside out
Then the gate busts open to the world he dreams about
He's got a fever, fever, fever, fever
Stick a rope on anything 'cause he don't care
He'd even take a ride on the electric chair
We're all here cause he's not all there tonight
He says it's really kind of simple
Keep your mind in the middle
While your butt spins 'round and 'round
Take heed to Sankey's preachin'
Keep liftin' and reachin'
And ridin' like there ain't no clowns
What he loves might kill him
But he's got no choice
He's a different breed
With a voice down deep inside
That's screamin' he was born to ride
He's got a fever, fever, fever, fever
Fever makes you crazy 'cause it makes no sense
Like runnin' from your shadow out of self-defense
He won't run and baby he can't hide
He thinks the odds are even leavin' one hand tied
He gets so tired of hangin' on so tight
I know you think he's crazy well I think you're right
We're all here 'cause he's not all there that's right
That Ol' Wind Lyrics – Garth Brooks
She dropped her boy at school on time
One less worry on her mind
Now it's off to work and on the radio
Come's an old familiar song
And then the D.J.'s voice comes on
And say's he's back in town tonight for one last show
Her eyes well up with tears
God could it be it's been ten years
Since that Autumn night outside the county fair
When two strangers shared a night
And in the darkness found a light
That to this day is still alive and burning there
He asked her twice to come along
They said good-bye at the break of dawn
'Cause you can't hold back the wind
If it's meant to be again
Then someday he'll find his way back to her arms
The marquee misspelled his name
And not too many people came
But that didn't matter to them
They laughed and loved all through the night
And as they faced the morning light
They found themselves standing there again
And he asked her twice to come along
They said good-bye at the break of dawn
As his bus left out she cried
With him standing by her side
That ol' wind had once again found its way home
Someday he'll tell her about the money he hid
And someday she'll tell him that the boy is his kid
But for right now they're both in love
The only thing they're thinkin' of
Is that they're finally where their hearts have always been
One less worry on her mind
Now it's off to work and on the radio
Come's an old familiar song
And then the D.J.'s voice comes on
And say's he's back in town tonight for one last show
Her eyes well up with tears
God could it be it's been ten years
Since that Autumn night outside the county fair
When two strangers shared a night
And in the darkness found a light
That to this day is still alive and burning there
He asked her twice to come along
They said good-bye at the break of dawn
'Cause you can't hold back the wind
If it's meant to be again
Then someday he'll find his way back to her arms
The marquee misspelled his name
And not too many people came
But that didn't matter to them
They laughed and loved all through the night
And as they faced the morning light
They found themselves standing there again
And he asked her twice to come along
They said good-bye at the break of dawn
As his bus left out she cried
With him standing by her side
That ol' wind had once again found its way home
Someday he'll tell her about the money he hid
And someday she'll tell him that the boy is his kid
But for right now they're both in love
The only thing they're thinkin' of
Is that they're finally where their hearts have always been
Rollin' Lyrics – Garth Brooks
She was born to a mother trucker
Raised behind the wheel
So you can blame it on the highway
For the way she can't sit still
She says life is like a windshield
It ain't no rear view mirror
The only way to get where you're goin'
Is find that higher gear
And keep it
Rollin'
Life's gonna run you over if you don't get goin'
She said I wanna fell the earth move under me
Movin' with the motion of a melody
Oh I get the blues if the rhythm ain't got no soul
You got to keep it
Rollin'
Well I knew that I was in trouble
When she told me that talk was cheap
Said if you're tired get on the sofa
'Cause the bed's no place to sleep
Then she reached down and she kissed
Lord it knocked me to my knees
And I knew if I was gonna get naked
I was gonna have to roll up my sleeves
And keep it
Rollin'
Love was gonna run me over if I didn't get it goin'
She said I wanna feel the earth move under me
Movin' with the motion of a melody
Boy I get the blues if the rhythm ain't got no soul
You got to keep it
Rollin'
So I talked her into gettin' married
But she wouldn't hang up her wheels
I was afraid I'd take a back seat
To the way the highway feels
But each day she's pullin' over
More than she used to
She knows love is like the highway
The main thing you gotta do
Is keep it
Rollin'
Life's gonna run you over if you don't get goin'
She said I wanna fell the earth move under me
Movin' with the motion of a melody
Oh I get the blues if the rhythm ain't got no soul
You got to keep it
Rollin'
Life's gonna run you over if you don't get goin'
She said I wanna fell the earth move under me
Movin' with the motion of a melody
Oh I get the blues if the rhythm ain't got no soul
You got to keep it
Rollin'

The Change Lyrics – Garth Brooks
One hand
Reaches out
And pulls a lost soul from harm
While a thousand more go unspoken for
They say what good have you done
By saving just this one
It's like whispering a prayer
In the fury of a storm
And I hear them saying you'll never change things
And no matter what you do it's still the same thing
But it's not the world that I am changing
I do this so this world will know
That it will not change me
This heart
Still believes
The love and mercy still exist
While all the hatred rage and so many say
That love is all but pointless in madness such as this
It's like trying to stop a fire
With the moisture from a kiss
And I hear them saying you'll never change things
And no matter what you do it's still the same thing
But it's not the world that I am changing
I do this so this world will know
That it will not change me
As long as one heart still holds on
Then hope is never really gone
I hear them saying you'll never change things
And no matter what you do it's still the same thing
But it's not the world that I am changing
I do this so this world we know
Never changes me
What I do is so
This world will know
That it will not change me
Reaches out
And pulls a lost soul from harm
While a thousand more go unspoken for
They say what good have you done
By saving just this one
It's like whispering a prayer
In the fury of a storm
And I hear them saying you'll never change things
And no matter what you do it's still the same thing
But it's not the world that I am changing
I do this so this world will know
That it will not change me
This heart
Still believes
The love and mercy still exist
While all the hatred rage and so many say
That love is all but pointless in madness such as this
It's like trying to stop a fire
With the moisture from a kiss
And I hear them saying you'll never change things
And no matter what you do it's still the same thing
But it's not the world that I am changing
I do this so this world will know
That it will not change me
As long as one heart still holds on
Then hope is never really gone
I hear them saying you'll never change things
And no matter what you do it's still the same thing
But it's not the world that I am changing
I do this so this world we know
Never changes me
What I do is so
This world will know
That it will not change me
The Beaches of Cheyenne Lyrics – Garth Brooks
They packed up all his buckles
And shipped his saddle to his dad
And by the way the house looked
She must have took it bad
The workers come on Monday
To fix the door and patch the wall
They say she just went crazy
The night she got the call
He was up in Wyoming
And drew a bull no man could ride
He promised her he'd turn out
Well it turned out that he lied
And their dreams that they'd been livin'
In the California sand
Died right there beside him in Cheyenne
They she just went crazy
Screamin' out his name
She ran out into the ocean
And to this day they claim
That if you go down by the water
You'll see her footprints in the sand
'Cause every night she walks the beaches of Cheyenne
They never found her body
Just her diary by her bed
It told about the fight they had
And the words that she had said
When he told her he was ridin'
She said then I don't give a damn
If you never come back from Cheyenne
They she just went crazy
Screamin' out his name
She ran out into the ocean
And to this day they claim
That you can go down by the water
And see her footprints in the sand
'Cause every night she walks the beaches of Cheyenne
Nobody can explain it
Some say she's still alive
They even claim they've seen her
On the shoreline late at night
So if you go down by the water
You'll see her footprints in the sand
'Cause every night she walks the beaches of Cheyenne
Every night she walks the beaches of Cheyenne
And shipped his saddle to his dad
And by the way the house looked
She must have took it bad
The workers come on Monday
To fix the door and patch the wall
They say she just went crazy
The night she got the call
He was up in Wyoming
And drew a bull no man could ride
He promised her he'd turn out
Well it turned out that he lied
And their dreams that they'd been livin'
In the California sand
Died right there beside him in Cheyenne
They she just went crazy
Screamin' out his name
She ran out into the ocean
And to this day they claim
That if you go down by the water
You'll see her footprints in the sand
'Cause every night she walks the beaches of Cheyenne
They never found her body
Just her diary by her bed
It told about the fight they had
And the words that she had said
When he told her he was ridin'
She said then I don't give a damn
If you never come back from Cheyenne
They she just went crazy
Screamin' out his name
She ran out into the ocean
And to this day they claim
That you can go down by the water
And see her footprints in the sand
'Cause every night she walks the beaches of Cheyenne
Nobody can explain it
Some say she's still alive
They even claim they've seen her
On the shoreline late at night
So if you go down by the water
You'll see her footprints in the sand
'Cause every night she walks the beaches of Cheyenne
Every night she walks the beaches of Cheyenne
It's Midnight Cinderella Lyrics – Garth Brooks
It's midnight Cinderella but don't you worry none
'Cause I'm Peter Peter the Pumpkin Eater
And the party's just begun
I guess your prince charming
Wasn't after all
'Cause he sure seemed different right after the ball
I guess more than horses are turnin' into rats
And by the way he's walkin'
I can guess where your slipper's at
It's midnight Cinderella time that you should know
There's gonna be some changes in the way this story goes
It's midnight Cinderella but don't you worry none
'Cause I'm Peter Peter the Pumkin Eater
And the party's just begun
I'm gonna help you get over
Bein' under that spell
You're gonna learn to love midnight
Inside this pumpkin shell
I gotta few new magic tricks
Your godmother can't do
I'll show you what it means to
Bip, bip, bip, bip, boppity boo
It's midnight Cinderella time that you should know
There's gonna be some changes in the way this story goes
It's midnight Cinderella but don't you worry none
'Cause I'm Peter Peter the Pumkin Eater
And the party's just begun
I'm Peter Peter the Pumpkin Eater
And the party has now begun
'Cause I'm Peter Peter the Pumpkin Eater
And the party's just begun
I guess your prince charming
Wasn't after all
'Cause he sure seemed different right after the ball
I guess more than horses are turnin' into rats
And by the way he's walkin'
I can guess where your slipper's at
It's midnight Cinderella time that you should know
There's gonna be some changes in the way this story goes
It's midnight Cinderella but don't you worry none
'Cause I'm Peter Peter the Pumkin Eater
And the party's just begun
I'm gonna help you get over
Bein' under that spell
You're gonna learn to love midnight
Inside this pumpkin shell
I gotta few new magic tricks
Your godmother can't do
I'll show you what it means to
Bip, bip, bip, bip, boppity boo
It's midnight Cinderella time that you should know
There's gonna be some changes in the way this story goes
It's midnight Cinderella but don't you worry none
'Cause I'm Peter Peter the Pumkin Eater
And the party's just begun
I'm Peter Peter the Pumpkin Eater
And the party has now begun
She's Every Woman Lyrics – Garth Brooks
She's sun and rain, she's fire and ice
A little crazy but it's nice
And when she gets mad, you best leave her alone
'Cause she'll rage just like a river
Then she'll beg you to forgive her
She's every woman that I've ever known
She's so New York and then L.A.
And every town along the way
She's every place that I've never been
She's makin love on rainy nights
She's a stroll through Christmas lights
And she's everything I want to do again
It needs no explanation
'Cause it all makes perfect sense
For when it comes down to temptation
She's on both sides of the fence
No it needs no explanation
'Cause it all makes perfect sense
When it comes down to temptation
She's on both sides of the fence
She's anything but typical
She's so unpredictable
Oh but even at her worst it ain't that bad
She's as real as real can be
And she's every fantasy
Lord she's every lover that I've ever had
And she's every lover that I've never had
A little crazy but it's nice
And when she gets mad, you best leave her alone
'Cause she'll rage just like a river
Then she'll beg you to forgive her
She's every woman that I've ever known
She's so New York and then L.A.
And every town along the way
She's every place that I've never been
She's makin love on rainy nights
She's a stroll through Christmas lights
And she's everything I want to do again
It needs no explanation
'Cause it all makes perfect sense
For when it comes down to temptation
She's on both sides of the fence
No it needs no explanation
'Cause it all makes perfect sense
When it comes down to temptation
She's on both sides of the fence
She's anything but typical
She's so unpredictable
Oh but even at her worst it ain't that bad
She's as real as real can be
And she's every fantasy
Lord she's every lover that I've ever had
And she's every lover that I've never had
Ireland Lyrics – Garth Brooks
They say mother earth is breathing
With each wave that finds the shore
Her soul rises in the evening
For to open twilights door
Her eyes are the stars in heaven
Watching o'er us all the while
And her heart it is in Ireland
Deep within the Emerald Isle
We are forty against hundreds
In someone else's bloody war
We know not why were fighting
Or what we're dying for
They will storm us in the morning
When the sunlight turns to sky
Death is waiting for its dance now
Fate has sentenced us to die
Ireland I am coming home
I can see your rolling fields of green
And fences made of stone
I am reaching out won't you take my hand
I'm coming home Ireland
Oh the captain he lay bleeding
I can hear him calling me
These men are yours now for the leading
Show them to their destiny
As I look up all around me
I see the ragged tired and torn
I tell them to make ready
'Cause we're not waiting for the morn
Ireland I am coming home
I can see your rolling fields of green
And fences made of stone
I am reaching out won't you take my hand
I'm coming home Ireland
Now the fog is deep and heavy
As we forge the dark and fear
We can hear their horses breathing
As in silence we draw near
There are no words to be spoken
Just a look to say good-bye I draw a breath and night is broken
As I scream our battle cry
Ireland I am coming home
I can see your rolling fields of green
And fences made of stone
I am reaching out won't you take my hand
I'm coming home Ireland
Yes I am home Ireland
We were forty against hundreds
With each wave that finds the shore
Her soul rises in the evening
For to open twilights door
Her eyes are the stars in heaven
Watching o'er us all the while
And her heart it is in Ireland
Deep within the Emerald Isle
We are forty against hundreds
In someone else's bloody war
We know not why were fighting
Or what we're dying for
They will storm us in the morning
When the sunlight turns to sky
Death is waiting for its dance now
Fate has sentenced us to die
Ireland I am coming home
I can see your rolling fields of green
And fences made of stone
I am reaching out won't you take my hand
I'm coming home Ireland
Oh the captain he lay bleeding
I can hear him calling me
These men are yours now for the leading
Show them to their destiny
As I look up all around me
I see the ragged tired and torn
I tell them to make ready
'Cause we're not waiting for the morn
Ireland I am coming home
I can see your rolling fields of green
And fences made of stone
I am reaching out won't you take my hand
I'm coming home Ireland
Now the fog is deep and heavy
As we forge the dark and fear
We can hear their horses breathing
As in silence we draw near
There are no words to be spoken
Just a look to say good-bye I draw a breath and night is broken
As I scream our battle cry
Ireland I am coming home
I can see your rolling fields of green
And fences made of stone
I am reaching out won't you take my hand
I'm coming home Ireland
Yes I am home Ireland
We were forty against hundreds
Not Counting You Lyrics – Garth Brooks
When loving turns to parting I'm always the first to leave
Cause when it comes to heartaches I'd rather give than to receive
I've never cried myself to sleep just praying I'll get through
I've never lost at love not counting you
Not counting you I've never had a heartache
Not counting you I never have been blue
There's no exceptions to the rule
I've never been nobody's fool
I've never lost at love not counting you
I've never got down on my knees and asked the Lord above
If He would only bring to me the one I'm dreaming of
Begging to be taken back and swearing I'll be true
Has never crossed my mind not counting you
Not counting you I've never had a heartache
Not counting you I never have been blue
There's no exceptions to the rule
I've never been nobody's fool
I've never lost at love not counting you
There's no exceptions to the rule
I've never been nobody's fool
I've never lost at love not counting you
No, I've never lost at love not counting you
Cause when it comes to heartaches I'd rather give than to receive
I've never cried myself to sleep just praying I'll get through
I've never lost at love not counting you
Not counting you I've never had a heartache
Not counting you I never have been blue
There's no exceptions to the rule
I've never been nobody's fool
I've never lost at love not counting you
I've never got down on my knees and asked the Lord above
If He would only bring to me the one I'm dreaming of
Begging to be taken back and swearing I'll be true
Has never crossed my mind not counting you
Not counting you I've never had a heartache
Not counting you I never have been blue
There's no exceptions to the rule
I've never been nobody's fool
I've never lost at love not counting you
There's no exceptions to the rule
I've never been nobody's fool
I've never lost at love not counting you
No, I've never lost at love not counting you
I've Got A Good Thing Going Lyrics – Garth Brooks
She swears there's nothing wrong
But something's missing
She's never been much good at tellin' lies
Cause you can hear the sounds of leavin' if you listen
This may be California
But Oklahoma's in her eyes
And I've got a good thing going
It's plain to see she's tired of hanging on
I've got a good thing going
And it's killing me
That she's as good as gone
'bout now she must be tired of always giving
And tired of what she's gettin' in return
I guess Oklahoma's more her style of living
Cause I can see her heart is headin'
Across a bridge I thought she'd burned
And I've got a good thing going
It's plain to see she's tired of hanging on
I've got a good thing going
And it's killing me
That she's as good as gone
Lord, it's killing me
That she's as good as gone
But something's missing
She's never been much good at tellin' lies
Cause you can hear the sounds of leavin' if you listen
This may be California
But Oklahoma's in her eyes
And I've got a good thing going
It's plain to see she's tired of hanging on
I've got a good thing going
And it's killing me
That she's as good as gone
'bout now she must be tired of always giving
And tired of what she's gettin' in return
I guess Oklahoma's more her style of living
Cause I can see her heart is headin'
Across a bridge I thought she'd burned
And I've got a good thing going
It's plain to see she's tired of hanging on
I've got a good thing going
And it's killing me
That she's as good as gone
Lord, it's killing me
That she's as good as gone
If Tomorrow Never Comes Lyrics – Garth Brooks
Sometimes late at night
I lie awake and watch her sleeping
She's lost in peaceful dreams
So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark
And the thought crosses my mind
If I never wake up in the morning
Would she ever doubt the way I feel
About her in my heart
If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she's my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face the world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes
'Cause I've lost loved ones in my life
Who never knew how much I loved them
Now I live with the regret
That my true feelings for them never were revealed
So I made a promise to myself
To say each day how much she means to me
And avoid that circumstance
Where there's no second chance to tell her how I feel
If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she's my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face the world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes
So tell that someone that you love
Just what you're thinking of
If tomorrow never comes
I lie awake and watch her sleeping
She's lost in peaceful dreams
So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark
And the thought crosses my mind
If I never wake up in the morning
Would she ever doubt the way I feel
About her in my heart
If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she's my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face the world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes
'Cause I've lost loved ones in my life
Who never knew how much I loved them
Now I live with the regret
That my true feelings for them never were revealed
So I made a promise to myself
To say each day how much she means to me
And avoid that circumstance
Where there's no second chance to tell her how I feel
If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she's my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face the world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes
So tell that someone that you love
Just what you're thinking of
If tomorrow never comes
Every Time That It Rains Lyrics – Garth Brooks
Stuck in an airport in austin
All of the flights are delayed
As the rains keep fallin'
The memories keep callin' me back
To another time and place
Back to a rainy day in oklahoma
She was workin' at this roadside cafe
It was just her and me
And looked like it would be
At least til the storms rolled away.
I played please come to boston on the jukebox
She said "hey that's my favorite song"
The next thing I knew
The song was all through
And we were still dancing alone
And with that look in her eye
She pulled from me
Then she pulled off that apron she wore.
And with her hand in mine
We turned off the sign
And locked the rain outside the door
Everytime that it rains
I can hear her heart callin'
It rains
I can see that dress fallin'
The storm clouds rolled on
Still the memory remains
Everytime that it rains
One late rainy night
I got a phone call
So I went back
To see her again
And through the dance
We both stumbled
And with the buttons
We fumbled
And we decided
Just to call it friends
If we ever had a flame
Now it's over
And only the memory remains
Of a roadside cafe
On a september day
I relive everytime that it rains
Everytime that it rains
I can hear her heart callin'
It rains
I can see that dress fallin'
The storm clouds rolled on
Still the memory remains
Everytime that it rains
Everytime that it rains
Everytime that it rains
It's raining on me
Everytime, everytime
All of the flights are delayed
As the rains keep fallin'
The memories keep callin' me back
To another time and place
Back to a rainy day in oklahoma
She was workin' at this roadside cafe
It was just her and me
And looked like it would be
At least til the storms rolled away.
I played please come to boston on the jukebox
She said "hey that's my favorite song"
The next thing I knew
The song was all through
And we were still dancing alone
And with that look in her eye
She pulled from me
Then she pulled off that apron she wore.
And with her hand in mine
We turned off the sign
And locked the rain outside the door
Everytime that it rains
I can hear her heart callin'
It rains
I can see that dress fallin'
The storm clouds rolled on
Still the memory remains
Everytime that it rains
One late rainy night
I got a phone call
So I went back
To see her again
And through the dance
We both stumbled
And with the buttons
We fumbled
And we decided
Just to call it friends
If we ever had a flame
Now it's over
And only the memory remains
Of a roadside cafe
On a september day
I relive everytime that it rains
Everytime that it rains
I can hear her heart callin'
It rains
I can see that dress fallin'
The storm clouds rolled on
Still the memory remains
Everytime that it rains
Everytime that it rains
Everytime that it rains
It's raining on me
Everytime, everytime
Alabama Clay Lyrics – Garth Brooks
First time he saw the ground get busted
He was 10, it was 1952
His daddy worked hard
From sun up til sundown
And the goin' got tough
Behind them old gray mules
The farm grew to be a money maker
And the house he lived in
Grew up room by room
The boy worked hard
But soon got tired of farmin'
So he slipped away one night
B'neath the harvest moon
His neck was red
As alabama clay
But the city's call
Pulled him away
He's got a factory job
And run's a big machine
He don't miss the farm
Or the fields of green
Now the city's just a prison
Without fences
His job is just
A routine he can't stand
And at night he derams of wide open spaces
Gresh dirt tween his toes and on his hands
Then one day a picture came
Inside a letter
Of a young girl
With a baby in her arms
And the words she wrote
Would change his life forever
So he went to raise his family
On the farm
His neck was red
As alabama clay
Now he's going home
This time to stay
Where the roots run deep
On the family tree
And the tractor rolls
Through the fields of green
His neck was red
As alabama clay
Now he's going home
This time to stay
Where the roots run deep
On the family tree
And the tractor rolls
Through the fields of green
His neck is red
As alababma clay
He was 10, it was 1952
His daddy worked hard
From sun up til sundown
And the goin' got tough
Behind them old gray mules
The farm grew to be a money maker
And the house he lived in
Grew up room by room
The boy worked hard
But soon got tired of farmin'
So he slipped away one night
B'neath the harvest moon
His neck was red
As alabama clay
But the city's call
Pulled him away
He's got a factory job
And run's a big machine
He don't miss the farm
Or the fields of green
Now the city's just a prison
Without fences
His job is just
A routine he can't stand
And at night he derams of wide open spaces
Gresh dirt tween his toes and on his hands
Then one day a picture came
Inside a letter
Of a young girl
With a baby in her arms
And the words she wrote
Would change his life forever
So he went to raise his family
On the farm
His neck was red
As alabama clay
Now he's going home
This time to stay
Where the roots run deep
On the family tree
And the tractor rolls
Through the fields of green
His neck was red
As alabama clay
Now he's going home
This time to stay
Where the roots run deep
On the family tree
And the tractor rolls
Through the fields of green
His neck is red
As alababma clay
Much Too Young (To Feel This Damn Old) Lyrics – Garth Brooks
This ol' highway's getting longer
Seems there ain't no end in sight
To sleep would be best, but I just can't afford to rest
I've got to ride in Denver tomorrow night
I called the house but no one answered
For the last two weeks no one's been home
I guess she's through with me, to tell the truth I just can't see
What's kept the woman holding on this long
And the white line's getting longer and the saddle's getting cold
I'm much too young to feel this damn old
All my cards are on the table with no ace left in the hole
I'm much too young to feel this damn old
The competition's getting younger
Tougher broncs, you know I can't recall
The worn out tape of Chris LeDoux, lonely women and bad booze
Seem to be the only friends I've left at all
And the white line's getting longer and the saddle's getting cold
I'm much too young to feel this damn old
All my cards are on the table with no ace left in the hole
I'm much too young to feel this damn old
Lord, I'm much too young to feel this damn old
Seems there ain't no end in sight
To sleep would be best, but I just can't afford to rest
I've got to ride in Denver tomorrow night
I called the house but no one answered
For the last two weeks no one's been home
I guess she's through with me, to tell the truth I just can't see
What's kept the woman holding on this long
And the white line's getting longer and the saddle's getting cold
I'm much too young to feel this damn old
All my cards are on the table with no ace left in the hole
I'm much too young to feel this damn old
The competition's getting younger
Tougher broncs, you know I can't recall
The worn out tape of Chris LeDoux, lonely women and bad booze
Seem to be the only friends I've left at all
And the white line's getting longer and the saddle's getting cold
I'm much too young to feel this damn old
All my cards are on the table with no ace left in the hole
I'm much too young to feel this damn old
Lord, I'm much too young to feel this damn old
Cowboy Bill Lyrics – Garth Brooks
He told a good story
And all us kids listened
'bout his life on the border
And the way it was then
And we all believed
And when he would finish
We'd ask the old cowboy
To tell 'em again
You could almost hear
Those prairie winds blowing
His saddle a creakin'
'neath his old faded jeans
You could taste the dry dust
From the trail he was ridin'
As he sat there and painted
Those west texas scenes
And the grown-ups would tell us
You boys keep yer distance
That old man's just telling you lies
But to all of us kids
Cowboy Bill was a hero
Just as true
As the blue texas sky.
He told of a time
When he rode with the rangers
Down on the pecos
And he saved the day
Outnumbered by plenty
They were almost to cover
With 30 banditos
Headed their way
He looked back just in time
To see a horse stumble
The captain went down
And Bill pulled up on his reigns
Through a flurry of bullets
He rescued the captain
They rode for the sunset
Just the story remains
And the grown-ups would tell us
You boys keep yer distance
That old man's just telling you lies
But to all of us kids
Cowboy Bill was a hero
Just as true
As the blue texas sky.
Well I still remember
The day that it happened
We waited and we waited
But Bill never showed
The folks at the feed store
Said they hadn't seen him
So we set out for his place
Down on old grist mill road
And we cried when we found him
Lying there with his memories
The old trunk wide open
Things scattered about
He was clutching a badge
That said Texas Rangers
And an old yeller letter
Said "Texas is Proud"
And the grown-ups that told us
You boys keep yer distance
That old man's just telling you lies
Now... they're all saying
Cowboy Bill was a hero
Just as true
As the blue texas sky.
Just as true
As the blue texas sky.
And all us kids listened
'bout his life on the border
And the way it was then
And we all believed
And when he would finish
We'd ask the old cowboy
To tell 'em again
You could almost hear
Those prairie winds blowing
His saddle a creakin'
'neath his old faded jeans
You could taste the dry dust
From the trail he was ridin'
As he sat there and painted
Those west texas scenes
And the grown-ups would tell us
You boys keep yer distance
That old man's just telling you lies
But to all of us kids
Cowboy Bill was a hero
Just as true
As the blue texas sky.
He told of a time

Nobody Gets Off In This Town Lyrics – Garth Brooks
Nobody gets off in this town
Trains don't even slow down
My high-school sweetheart is married and gone
They met on a bus to San Antone
The greyhound stops and somebody gets on
But nobody gets off in this town
Nobody gets off in this town
Old folks 'round here wear a frown
Now let me see if I can set the scene
It's a one dog town and he's old and mean
There's one stop light but it's always green
Nobody gets off in this town
Nobody gets off in this town
The high school colors are brown
They can't drag main because it kicks up dust
The cars and their dreams are starting to rust
The high school dances are always a bust
Nobody gets off in this town
Nobody gets off in this town
They ought to just tear it down
In the winter you freeze, and in the summer you fry
Utility bill's the only thing that gets high
I'd go for a drink But this county is dry
Nobody gets off
Nobody gets off
Nobody gets off in this
Swear old merry go round
No nobody gets off in this town
Trains don't even slow down
My high-school sweetheart is married and gone
They met on a bus to San Antone
The greyhound stops and somebody gets on
But nobody gets off in this town
Nobody gets off in this town
Old folks 'round here wear a frown
Now let me see if I can set the scene
It's a one dog town and he's old and mean
There's one stop light but it's always green
Nobody gets off in this town
Nobody gets off in this town
The high school colors are brown
They can't drag main because it kicks up dust
The cars and their dreams are starting to rust
The high school dances are always a bust
Nobody gets off in this town
Nobody gets off in this town
They ought to just tear it down
In the winter you freeze, and in the summer you fry
Utility bill's the only thing that gets high
I'd go for a drink But this county is dry
Nobody gets off
Nobody gets off
Nobody gets off in this
Swear old merry go round
No nobody gets off in this town
I Know One Lyrics – Garth Brooks
When all your loves have ended
When all your friends have flown
Who'll be around to want you?
When all your loves have gone
Only a fool would do it
After the way you've done
And how many fools would have you?
I know one
This fool keeps wonderin' why
He fell in love at all
But you might need this fool
Around in case you fall
After the party's over
And you've had your fill of fun
If you need a fool to forgive you
I know one
You never know
You might be lonely
When all your loves have missed
It wouldn't hurt to keep an extra
Fool on your list
After your heart's been broken
And you need a place to run
If you'll take a fool who loves you
I know one
Mmmmmmmmm......
I know one
When all your friends have flown
Who'll be around to want you?
When all your loves have gone
Only a fool would do it
After the way you've done
And how many fools would have you?
I know one
This fool keeps wonderin' why
He fell in love at all
But you might need this fool
Around in case you fall
After the party's over
And you've had your fill of fun
If you need a fool to forgive you
I know one
You never know
You might be lonely
When all your loves have missed
It wouldn't hurt to keep an extra
Fool on your list
After your heart's been broken
And you need a place to run
If you'll take a fool who loves you
I know one
Mmmmmmmmm......
I know one
The Dance Lyrics – Garth Brooks
Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared 'neath the stars alone
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd have had to miss the dance
Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I a king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey who's to say you know I might have changed it all
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd have had to miss the dance
Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but I'd have had to miss the dance
The dance we shared 'neath the stars alone
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd have had to miss the dance
Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I a king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey who's to say you know I might have changed it all
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd have had to miss the dance
Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but I'd have had to miss the dance
Standing Outside The Fire Lyrics – Garth Brooks
We call them cool
Those hearts that have no scars to show
The ones that never do let go
And risk the tables being turned
We call them fools
Who have to dance within the flame
Who chance the sorrow and the shame
That always comes with getting burned
But you've got to be tough when consumed by desire
'Cause it's not enough just to stand outside the fire
We call them strong
Those who can face this world alone
Who seem to get by on their own
Those who will never take the fall
We call them weak
Who are unable to resist
The slightest chance love might exist
And for that forsake it all
They're so hell-bent on giving ,walking a wire
Convinced it's not living if you stand outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried, it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire
There's this love that is burning
Deep in my soul
Constantly yearning to get out of control
Wanting to fly higher and higher
I can't abide
Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried, it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried, it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire
Those hearts that have no scars to show
The ones that never do let go
And risk the tables being turned
We call them fools
Who have to dance within the flame
Who chance the sorrow and the shame
That always comes with getting burned
But you've got to be tough when consumed by desire
'Cause it's not enough just to stand outside the fire
We call them strong
Those who can face this world alone
Who seem to get by on their own
Those who will never take the fall
We call them weak
Who are unable to resist
The slightest chance love might exist
And for that forsake it all
They're so hell-bent on giving ,walking a wire
Convinced it's not living if you stand outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried, it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire
There's this love that is burning
Deep in my soul
Constantly yearning to get out of control
Wanting to fly higher and higher
I can't abide
Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried, it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried, it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire
The Night I Called The Old Man Out Lyrics – Garth Brooks
The dining room fell silent
I can't believe what I just said
I just told my dad he's full of it
And I watched his face turn red
And I should've said, "I'm sorry"
But I matched him shout for shout
I can still hear that screen door slammin'
The night I called him out
He said, "Son it's gonna hurt me more than it hurts you"
But somehow I couldn't help but have my doubts
'Cause I'd seen my older brothers crawl back in the house
Each time they called the old man out
Fist to fist and eye to eye
Standin' toe to toe
He would've let me walk away
But I just would not let it go
Years of my frustration
Had let me to this night
Now he'll pay for all the times that he's been right
He said, "Son it's gonna hurt me more than it hurts you"
But somehow I couldn't help but have my doubts
'Cause I'd seen my older brothers crawl back in the house
Each time they called the old man out
It was over in a minute
That's when I realized
The blood came from my mouth and nose
But the tears came from his eyes
And in memory of that fateful night
I know the greatest pain was his
And I just pray some day I'm half the man he is
He said, "Son it's gonna hurt me more than it hurts you"
But somehow I couldn't help but have my doubts
'Cause I'd seen my older brothers crawl back in the house
Each time they called the old man out
Just like my older brothers
I crawled back in the house
The night I called the old man out
I can't believe what I just said
I just told my dad he's full of it
And I watched his face turn red
And I should've said, "I'm sorry"
But I matched him shout for shout
I can still hear that screen door slammin'
The night I called him out
He said, "Son it's gonna hurt me more than it hurts you"
But somehow I couldn't help but have my doubts
'Cause I'd seen my older brothers crawl back in the house
Each time they called the old man out
Fist to fist and eye to eye
Standin' toe to toe
He would've let me walk away
But I just would not let it go
Years of my frustration
Had let me to this night
Now he'll pay for all the times that he's been right
He said, "Son it's gonna hurt me more than it hurts you"
But somehow I couldn't help but have my doubts
'Cause I'd seen my older brothers crawl back in the house
Each time they called the old man out
It was over in a minute
That's when I realized
The blood came from my mouth and nose
But the tears came from his eyes
And in memory of that fateful night
I know the greatest pain was his
And I just pray some day I'm half the man he is
He said, "Son it's gonna hurt me more than it hurts you"
But somehow I couldn't help but have my doubts
'Cause I'd seen my older brothers crawl back in the house
Each time they called the old man out
Just like my older brothers
I crawled back in the house
The night I called the old man out

One Night A Day Lyrics – Garth Brooks
There's not a lot of things to do
I wouldn't rather do with you
Guess I'm funny that way
Lately I just sit and stare
I talk to people who aren't there
To get through one night a day
One night a day
One step away
From leavin' you behind
I sit up with the radio
Sing along with the ones I know
To get through one night a day
One night a day
One step away
From leavin' you behind
I'm callin' every friend I've had
Wake 'em up, and make 'em mad
Let 'em know that I'm OK
I used to sit and talk to you
They're all just a substitute
To get through one night a day
One night a day
One step away
From leavin' you behind
I stay up with the late, late show
Just another way I know
To get through one night a day
To get through one night a day
I wouldn't rather do with you
Guess I'm funny that way
Lately I just sit and stare
I talk to people who aren't there
To get through one night a day
One night a day
One step away
From leavin' you behind
I sit up with the radio
Sing along with the ones I know
To get through one night a day
One night a day
One step away
From leavin' you behind
I'm callin' every friend I've had
Wake 'em up, and make 'em mad
Let 'em know that I'm OK
I used to sit and talk to you
They're all just a substitute
To get through one night a day
One night a day
One step away
From leavin' you behind
I stay up with the late, late show
Just another way I know
To get through one night a day
To get through one night a day
Kickin' And Screamin' Lyrics – Garth Brooks
Well, I don't know what my uncle did
But he must have done it right
They sure strung him up one Saturday night
He had spent his whole life fussin'
Would have spent his last breath cussin'
'Til he realized the deal was really done
He started screamin' "hallelujah"
Tryin' to make his peace with everyone
Yeah, he was kickin' and screamin'
Just like he came in
He was kickin' and screamin', darlin'
Right to the bitter end
Ain't it funny how we come in kickin' giddyup
And go out hollerin' whoa
Lord, we never want to be here
Sure don't ever want to go
Well, I could hear those church bells ringin'
To my best friend I was clingin'
Screamin' "If you love me brother don't let me go"
Well then the whole scene was repeated
Two years later I begged and pleaded
Screamin' "If you love me, honey,
Now you know you wouldn't want to let me go"
No, I didn't want to do it
But I sure don't want to see it come undone
Yeah, I was kickin' and screamin'
Just like I came in
I was kickin' and screamin', darlin'
Right to the bitter end
Ain't it funny how we come in kickin' giddyup
And go out hollerin' whoa
Lord, we never want to be here
Sure don't ever want to go
Yeah, I was kickin' and screamin'
Just like I came in
I was kickin' and screamin', darlin'
Right to the bitter end
Ain't it funny how we come in kickin' giddyup
And go out hollerin' whoa
Seems, we never want to be here
Sure don't ever want to go
But he must have done it right
They sure strung him up one Saturday night
He had spent his whole life fussin'
Would have spent his last breath cussin'
'Til he realized the deal was really done
He started screamin' "hallelujah"
Tryin' to make his peace with everyone
Yeah, he was kickin' and screamin'
Just like he came in
He was kickin' and screamin', darlin'
Right to the bitter end
Ain't it funny how we come in kickin' giddyup
And go out hollerin' whoa
Lord, we never want to be here
Sure don't ever want to go
Well, I could hear those church bells ringin'
To my best friend I was clingin'
Screamin' "If you love me brother don't let me go"
Well then the whole scene was repeated
Two years later I begged and pleaded
Screamin' "If you love me, honey,
Now you know you wouldn't want to let me go"
No, I didn't want to do it
But I sure don't want to see it come undone
Yeah, I was kickin' and screamin'
Just like I came in
I was kickin' and screamin', darlin'
Right to the bitter end
Ain't it funny how we come in kickin' giddyup
And go out hollerin' whoa
Lord, we never want to be here
Sure don't ever want to go
Yeah, I was kickin' and screamin'
Just like I came in
I was kickin' and screamin', darlin'
Right to the bitter end
Ain't it funny how we come in kickin' giddyup
And go out hollerin' whoa
Seems, we never want to be here
Sure don't ever want to go
Ain't Going Down ('Til the Sun Comes Up) Lyrics – Garth Brooks
Six o'clock on Friday evening
Momma doesn' t know she's leaving
'Til she hears the screen door slamming
Rubber squealin', gears a-jamming
Local country station just a blaring on the radio
Pick him up at seven and they're headin' to the rodeo
Momma's on the front porch screamin' out her warning
Girl you better get your red head
Back in bed before the morning
Nine o'clock the show is ending
But the fun is just beginning
She knows he's anticipating
But she's gonna keep him waiting
Grab a bite to eat
And then they're heading to the honkey tonk
But loud crowds and line dancing
Just ain't what they really want
Drive out to the boondocks and park down by the creek
And where it's George Strait 'til real late
And dancing cheek to cheek
Ain't going down 'til the sun comes up
Ain't givin' in 'til they get enough
Going 'round the world in a pickup truck
Ain't goin' down 'til the sun comes up
Ten 'til twelve is wine and dancing
Midnight starts the hard romancing
One o'clock that truck is rocking
Two is coming, still no stopping
Break to check the clock at three
They're right on where they want to be
Four o'clock get up and going
Five o'clock that rooster's crowing
Ain't going down 'til the sun comes up
Ain't givin' in 'til they get enough
Going 'round the world in a pickup truck
Ain't goin' down 'til the sun comes up
Six o'clock on Saturday
Her folks don't know he's on his way
The stalls are clean, the horses fed
They say she's grounded 'til she's dead
Well here he comes around the bend
Slowing down, she's jumping in
Hey mom, you're daughter's gone
And there they go again
Ain't going down 'til the sun comes up
Ain't givin' in 'til they get enough
Going 'round the world in a pickup truck
Ain't goin' down 'til the sun comes up
Momma doesn' t know she's leaving
'Til she hears the screen door slamming
Rubber squealin', gears a-jamming
Local country station just a blaring on the radio
Pick him up at seven and they're headin' to the rodeo
Momma's on the front porch screamin' out her warning
Girl you better get your red head
Back in bed before the morning
Nine o'clock the show is ending
But the fun is just beginning
She knows he's anticipating
But she's gonna keep him waiting
Grab a bite to eat
And then they're heading to the honkey tonk
But loud crowds and line dancing
Just ain't what they really want
Drive out to the boondocks and park down by the creek
And where it's George Strait 'til real late
And dancing cheek to cheek
Ain't going down 'til the sun comes up
Ain't givin' in 'til they get enough
Going 'round the world in a pickup truck
Ain't goin' down 'til the sun comes up
Ten 'til twelve is wine and dancing
Midnight starts the hard romancing
One o'clock that truck is rocking
Two is coming, still no stopping
Break to check the clock at three
They're right on where they want to be
Four o'clock get up and going
Five o'clock that rooster's crowing
Ain't going down 'til the sun comes up
Ain't givin' in 'til they get enough
Going 'round the world in a pickup truck
Ain't goin' down 'til the sun comes up

Going 'round the world in a pickup truck
Ain't goin' down 'til the sun comes up
The Red Strokes Lyrics – Garth Brooks
Moonlight on canvas, midnight and wine
Two shadows starting to softly combine
The picture they're painting
Is one of the heart
And to those who have seen it
It's a true work of art
Oh, the red strokes
Passions uncaged
Thundering moments of tenderness rage
Oh, the red strokes
Tempered and strong
Burning the night like the dawn
Steam on the window, salt in a kiss
Two hearts have never pounded like this
Inspired by a vision
That they can't command
Erasing the borders
With each brush of a hand
Oh, the red strokes
Passions uncaged
Thundering moments of tenderness rage
Oh, the red strokes
Tempered and strong
Burning the night like the dawn
Oh, the blues will be blue and the jealousies green
But when love picks its shade it demands to be seen
Oh, the red strokes
Passions uncaged
Thundering moments of tenderness rage
Oh, the red strokes
Fearlessly drawn
Burning the night like the dawn
Oh, the red strokes
Passions uncaged
Thundering moments of tenderness rage
Oh, the red strokes
Fearlessly drawn
Burning the night like the dawn
Steam on the window, salt in a kiss
Two hearts have never pounded like this
Two shadows starting to softly combine
The picture they're painting
Is one of the heart
And to those who have seen it
It's a true work of art
Oh, the red strokes
Passions uncaged
Thundering moments of tenderness rage
Oh, the red strokes
Tempered and strong
Burning the night like the dawn
Steam on the window, salt in a kiss
Two hearts have never pounded like this
Inspired by a vision
That they can't command
Erasing the borders
With each brush of a hand
Oh, the red strokes
Passions uncaged
Thundering moments of tenderness rage
Oh, the red strokes
Tempered and strong
Burning the night like the dawn
Oh, the blues will be blue and the jealousies green
But when love picks its shade it demands to be seen
Oh, the red strokes
Passions uncaged
Thundering moments of tenderness rage
Oh, the red strokes
Fearlessly drawn
Burning the night like the dawn
Oh, the red strokes
Passions uncaged
Thundering moments of tenderness rage
Oh, the red strokes
Fearlessly drawn
Burning the night like the dawn
Steam on the window, salt in a kiss
Two hearts have never pounded like this
Callin' Baton Rouge Lyrics – Garth Brooks
I spent last night in the arms
Of a girl in Louisiana
And though I'm out on the highway
My thoughts are still with her
Such a strange combination of a woman and a child
Such a strange situation stoppin' every hundred miles
Callin' Baton Rouge
A replay of last night's events
Roll through my mind
Except a scene or two
Erased by sweet red wine
And I see a truck stop sign ahead
So I change lanes
I need a cup of coffee
And a couple dollars change
Callin' Baton Rouge
Operator won't you put me on through
I gotta' send my love down to Baton Rouge
Hurry up won't you put her on the line
I gotta' talk to the girl just one more time
Hello Samantha dear, I hope you're feelin' fine
And it won't be long until I'm with you all the time
But until then I'll spend my money up right down to my last dime
Callin' Baton Rouge
Operator won't you put me on through
I gotta' send my love down to Baton Rouge
Hurry up won't you put her on the line
I gotta' talk to the girl just one more time
Callin' Baton Rouge
Sweet Baton Rouge, my Baton Rouge
Of a girl in Louisiana
And though I'm out on the highway
My thoughts are still with her
Such a strange combination of a woman and a child
Such a strange situation stoppin' every hundred miles
Callin' Baton Rouge
A replay of last night's events
Roll through my mind
Except a scene or two
Erased by sweet red wine
And I see a truck stop sign ahead
So I change lanes
I need a cup of coffee
And a couple dollars change
Callin' Baton Rouge
Operator won't you put me on through
I gotta' send my love down to Baton Rouge
Hurry up won't you put her on the line
I gotta' talk to the girl just one more time
Hello Samantha dear, I hope you're feelin' fine
And it won't be long until I'm with you all the time
But until then I'll spend my money up right down to my last dime
Callin' Baton Rouge
Operator won't you put me on through
I gotta' send my love down to Baton Rouge
Hurry up won't you put her on the line
I gotta' talk to the girl just one more time
Callin' Baton Rouge
Sweet Baton Rouge, my Baton Rouge
The Night Will Only Know Lyrics – Garth Brooks
That night will live forever
Their first time to lie together
They were finally where desire dared them to go
Both belonging to another
But longing to be lovers
Promising each other that the night will only know
Parked on some old backstreet
They laid down in the backseat
And fell into the fire down below
But they would pay for their deceving
For a deadly web was weaving
Why they picked that spot that evening
Lord, the night will only know
Well within the innuendos
Just outside the steamy windows
The night was shattered by a woman's scream
Motionless and frightened
The grip of fate had tightened
And with trembling hands they wiped away the steam
They saw a woman pleading
Stumbling, begging, and retreating
'Til she became the victim of a foe
And they watched her fall in silence
To save their own alliance
But the reason for the violence
Just the night will only know
And every paper ran the story
She was stripped of all her glory
And they told exactly how the woman died
Abandoned and forsaken
Too many pills were taken
And they ruled the woman's death a suicide
Bound by their behavior
They could have been her savior
Now guilt becomes an endless debt they owe
But another crime was committed
And it's never been admitted
Have the guilty been acquitted
Lord, the night will only know
Their first time to lie together
They were finally where desire dared them to go
Both belonging to another
But longing to be lovers
Promising each other that the night will only know
Parked on some old backstreet
They laid down in the backseat
And fell into the fire down below
But they would pay for their deceving
For a deadly web was weaving
Why they picked that spot that evening
Lord, the night will only know
Well within the innuendos
Just outside the steamy windows
The night was shattered by a woman's scream
Motionless and frightened
The grip of fate had tightened
And with trembling hands they wiped away the steam
They saw a woman pleading
Stumbling, begging, and retreating
'Til she became the victim of a foe
And they watched her fall in silence
To save their own alliance
But the reason for the violence
Just the night will only know
And every paper ran the story
She was stripped of all her glory
And they told exactly how the woman died
Abandoned and forsaken
Too many pills were taken
And they ruled the woman's death a suicide
Bound by their behavior
They could have been her savior
Now guilt becomes an endless debt they owe
But another crime was committed
And it's never been admitted
Have the guilty been acquitted
Lord, the night will only know
The Thunder Rolls Lyrics – Garth Brooks
Three thirty in the morning
Not a soul insight
The city's lookin' like a ghost town
On a moonless summer night
Raindrops on the windshield
There's a storm moving in
He's headin' back from somewhere
That he never should have been
And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls
Every light is burnin'
In a house across town
She's pacin' by the telephone
In her faded flannel gown
Askin' for miracle
Hopin' she's not right
Prayin' it's the weather
That's kept him out all night
And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls
The thunder rolls
And the lightnin' strikes
Another love grows cold
On a sleepless night
As the storm blows on
Out of control
Deep in her heart
The thunder rolls
She's waitin' by the window
When he pulls into the drive
She rushes out to hold him
Thankful he's alive
But on the wind and rain
A strange new perfume blows
And the lightnin' flashes in her eyes
And he knows that she knows
And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls
The thunder rolls
And the lightnin' strikes
Another love grows cold
On a sleepless night
As the storm blows on
Out of control
Deep in her heart
The thunder rolls
She runs back down the hallway
To the bedroom door
She reaches for the pistol
Kept in the dresser drawer
Tells the lady in the mirror
He won't do this again
Cause tonight will be the last time
She'll wonder where he's been
Not a soul insight
The city's lookin' like a ghost town
On a moonless summer night
Raindrops on the windshield
There's a storm moving in
He's headin' back from somewhere
That he never should have been
And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls
Every light is burnin'
In a house across town
She's pacin' by the telephone
In her faded flannel gown
Askin' for miracle
Hopin' she's not right
Prayin' it's the weather
That's kept him out all night
And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls
The thunder rolls
And the lightnin' strikes
Another love grows cold
On a sleepless night
As the storm blows on
Out of control
Deep in her heart
The thunder rolls
She's waitin' by the window
When he pulls into the drive
She rushes out to hold him
Thankful he's alive
But on the wind and rain
A strange new perfume blows
And the lightnin' flashes in her eyes
And he knows that she knows
And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls
The thunder rolls
And the lightnin' strikes
Another love grows cold
On a sleepless night
As the storm blows on
Out of control
Deep in her heart
The thunder rolls
She runs back down the hallway
To the bedroom door
She reaches for the pistol
Kept in the dresser drawer
Tells the lady in the mirror
He won't do this again
Cause tonight will be the last time
She'll wonder where he's been
New Way to Fly Lyrics – Garth Brooks
Like birds on a high line
They line up at night time at the bar
They all once were lovebirds
Now bluebirds are all that they are
They landed in hell
The minute they fell from love's sky
And now they hope in the wine
That they'll find a new way to fly
A new way to fly
Far away from goodbye
Above the clouds and the rain
The memories and the pain
And the tears that they cry
Now the lessons been learned
They've all crashed and burned
But they can leave it behind
If they could just find
A new way to fly
By the end of the night
They'll be high as a kite once again
And they don't seem to mind all the time
Or the money they spend
It's a high price to pay
to just find a way to get by
But it's worth every dime
If they find a new way to fly
A new way to fly
Far away from goodbye
Above the clouds and the rain
The memories and the pain
And the tears that they cry
Now the lessons been learned
They've all crashed and burned
But they can leave it behind
If they could just find
A new way to fly
They'll leave it behind
As soon as they find
A new way to fly
They line up at night time at the bar
They all once were lovebirds
Now bluebirds are all that they are
They landed in hell
The minute they fell from love's sky
And now they hope in the wine
That they'll find a new way to fly
A new way to fly
Far away from goodbye
Above the clouds and the rain
The memories and the pain
And the tears that they cry
Now the lessons been learned
They've all crashed and burned
But they can leave it behind
If they could just find
A new way to fly
By the end of the night
They'll be high as a kite once again
And they don't seem to mind all the time
Or the money they spend
It's a high price to pay
to just find a way to get by
But it's worth every dime
If they find a new way to fly
A new way to fly
Far away from goodbye
Above the clouds and the rain
The memories and the pain
And the tears that they cry
Now the lessons been learned
They've all crashed and burned
But they can leave it behind
If they could just find
A new way to fly
They'll leave it behind
As soon as they find
A new way to fly
Two of a Kind, Workin' on a Full House Lyrics – Garth Brooks
Yes, she's my lady luck
Hey, I'm her wild card man
Together we're buildin' up a real hot hand
We live out in the country
Hey, she's my little queen of the South
Yea, we're two of a kind
Workin' on a full house
She wakes me every mornin'
With a smile and a kiss
Her strong country lovin' is hard to resist
She's my easy lovin' woman
I'm her hard-workin' man, no doubt
Yea, we're two of a kind
Workin' on a full house
Yea, a pickup truck is her limousine
And her favorite dress is her faded blue jeans
She loves me tender when the goin' gets tough
Somtimes we fight just so we can make up
Lord I need that little woman
Like the crops need the rain
She's my honeycomb and I'm her sugar cane
We really fit together
If you know what I'm talkin' about
Yea, we're two of a kind
Workin' on a full house
This time I found a keeper, I made up my mind
Lord the perfect combination is her heart and mine
The sky's the limit, no hill is too steep
We're playin' for fun, but we're playin' for keeps
So draw the curtain, honey
Turn the lights down low
We'll find some country music on the radio
I'm yours and you're mine
Hey, that's what it's all about
Yea, we're two of a kind
Workin' on a full house
Lordy, mama, we'll be two of a kind
Workin' on a full house
Hey, I'm her wild card man
Together we're buildin' up a real hot hand
We live out in the country
Hey, she's my little queen of the South
Yea, we're two of a kind
Workin' on a full house
She wakes me every mornin'
With a smile and a kiss
Her strong country lovin' is hard to resist
She's my easy lovin' woman
I'm her hard-workin' man, no doubt
Yea, we're two of a kind
Workin' on a full house
Yea, a pickup truck is her limousine
And her favorite dress is her faded blue jeans
She loves me tender when the goin' gets tough
Somtimes we fight just so we can make up
Lord I need that little woman
Like the crops need the rain
She's my honeycomb and I'm her sugar cane
We really fit together
If you know what I'm talkin' about
Yea, we're two of a kind
Workin' on a full house
This time I found a keeper, I made up my mind
Lord the perfect combination is her heart and mine
The sky's the limit, no hill is too steep
We're playin' for fun, but we're playin' for keeps
So draw the curtain, honey
Turn the lights down low
We'll find some country music on the radio
I'm yours and you're mine
Hey, that's what it's all about
Yea, we're two of a kind
Workin' on a full house
Lordy, mama, we'll be two of a kind
Workin' on a full house
Victim of the Game Lyrics – Garth Brooks
Well it took a little time
But I guess you finally learned
That promises get broken
And bridges do get burned
You've been siftin' through the ashes
Just tryin' to find a flame
Holdin' on to nothin'
You're a victim of the game
You were standin' way too close
To see it all fall apart
And there were things you couldn't hear
'Cause you were listenin' with your heart
But you can't say I didn't warn you
Now there's no one else to blame
There's on one quite as blind
As a victim of the game
And it don't matter who you are
It treats everyone the same
All you need's a heart
To be a victim of the game
You know it's really gettin' to you
When you take to tellin' lies
And you can try to fool your friends
But you can't look 'em in the eye
There ain't no standin' tall
In the shadow of the shame
When everybody knows
That you're a victim of the game
And it don't matter who you are
It treats everyone the same
All you need's a heart
To be a victim of the game
Oh you know when I look into your eyes
I can really feel the pain
Starin' in the mirror
At a victim of the game
But I guess you finally learned
That promises get broken
And bridges do get burned
You've been siftin' through the ashes
Just tryin' to find a flame
Holdin' on to nothin'
You're a victim of the game
You were standin' way too close
To see it all fall apart
And there were things you couldn't hear
'Cause you were listenin' with your heart
But you can't say I didn't warn you
Now there's no one else to blame
There's on one quite as blind
As a victim of the game
And it don't matter who you are
It treats everyone the same
All you need's a heart
To be a victim of the game
You know it's really gettin' to you
When you take to tellin' lies
And you can try to fool your friends
But you can't look 'em in the eye
There ain't no standin' tall
In the shadow of the shame
When everybody knows
That you're a victim of the game
And it don't matter who you are
It treats everyone the same
All you need's a heart
To be a victim of the game
Oh you know when I look into your eyes
I can really feel the pain
Starin' in the mirror
At a victim of the game
