I just came back from a lovely trip
Along the Milky Way
I stopped off at the North Pole
To spend a holiday
I called on dear old Santa Claus
To see what I could see
He took me to his big workshop
And told his plans to me. So,
[Chorus]
You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
He's making a list
And checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is comin' to town
He sees you when you're sleepin'
He knows when you're awake,
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
[Repeat Chorus]
With little tin horns and little toy drums
Rooty-toot-toots and rummy-tum-tums
Santa Claus is comin' to town
And curly head dolls that toddle and coo
Elephants, boats and kiddie cars too
Santa Claus is comin' to town
The kids in girl and boyland
Will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a Toyland town
All around the Christmas tree, so
[Repeat Chorus]
Who Says There Ain't No Santa Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn
Got a wife and two kids, all gathered around
A twenty-pound turkey, snow on the ground
Who says there ain't no Santa Claus
Eric wants a glove, he tears into a box
His eyes are wide with wonder,
I sit back and watch
Who says there ain't no Santa Claus
[Chorus]
I haven't heard a single reindeer running on my roof
I just look into my children's eyes
and there I see my proof
And could it be that jolly old man riding in his sleigh
Is really just the kid in us on every Christmas Day
Who says there's no Santa Claus
Molly gets a doll, Momma's camera clicks
Guess we all get the puppy, he's getting in his licks
Who says there ain't no Santa Claus
I'm trying to read a card in crooked red and blue
Only part that really matters is "Daddy, we love you"
Who says there ain't no Santa Claus
[Repeat Chorus]
Hey, I've heard there ain't no Santa Claus
But I know there's got to be a Santa Claus
A twenty-pound turkey, snow on the ground
Who says there ain't no Santa Claus
Eric wants a glove, he tears into a box
His eyes are wide with wonder,
I sit back and watch
Who says there ain't no Santa Claus
[Chorus]
I haven't heard a single reindeer running on my roof
I just look into my children's eyes
and there I see my proof
And could it be that jolly old man riding in his sleigh
Is really just the kid in us on every Christmas Day
Who says there's no Santa Claus
Molly gets a doll, Momma's camera clicks
Guess we all get the puppy, he's getting in his licks
Who says there ain't no Santa Claus
I'm trying to read a card in crooked red and blue
Only part that really matters is "Daddy, we love you"
Who says there ain't no Santa Claus
[Repeat Chorus]
Hey, I've heard there ain't no Santa Claus
But I know there's got to be a Santa Claus
I'll Be Home For Christmas Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn
I'm dreaming tonight of a place I love
Even more than I usually do
And although I know it's a long road back
I promise you
I'll be home for Christmas,
You can plan on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love-light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
I'll be home for Christmas,
You can plan on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love-light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
Even more than I usually do
And although I know it's a long road back
I promise you
I'll be home for Christmas,
You can plan on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love-light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
I'll be home for Christmas,
You can plan on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love-light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
White Christmas Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn
The sun is shining, the grass is green
The orange and palm trees sway
There's never been such a day in Beverly Hills, L.A.
But it's December the twenty-fourth
And I am longing to be up north
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
"May your days be merry and bright
and may all your Christmases be white"
The orange and palm trees sway
There's never been such a day in Beverly Hills, L.A.
But it's December the twenty-fourth
And I am longing to be up north
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
"May your days be merry and bright
and may all your Christmases be white"
Only In America Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn
Sun coming up over New York City
School bus driver in a traffic jam
Starin' at the faces in her rearview mirror
Looking at the promise of the Promised Land
One kid dreams of fame and fortune
One kid helps pay the rent
One could end up going to prison
One just might be president
Only in America
Dreaming in red, white and blue
Only in America
Where we dream as big as we want to
We all get a chance
Everybody gets to dance
Only in America
Sun going down on an La. freeway
Newlyweds in the back of a limousine
A welder's son and a banker's daughter
All they want is everything
She came out here to be an actress
He was the singer in a band
They just might go back to Oklahoma
And talk about the stars they could have been
[Chorus]
Only in America
Where we dream in red, white and blue
Only in America
Where we dream as big as we want to
We all get a chance
Everybody gets to dance
Only in America
Yeah only in America
Where we dream in red, white and blue
Yeah we dream as big as we want to
School bus driver in a traffic jam
Starin' at the faces in her rearview mirror
Looking at the promise of the Promised Land
One kid dreams of fame and fortune
One kid helps pay the rent
One could end up going to prison
One just might be president
Only in America
Dreaming in red, white and blue
Only in America
Where we dream as big as we want to
We all get a chance
Everybody gets to dance
Only in America
Sun going down on an La. freeway
Newlyweds in the back of a limousine
A welder's son and a banker's daughter
All they want is everything
She came out here to be an actress
He was the singer in a band
They just might go back to Oklahoma
And talk about the stars they could have been
[Chorus]
Only in America
Where we dream in red, white and blue
Only in America
Where we dream as big as we want to
We all get a chance
Everybody gets to dance
Only in America
Yeah only in America
Where we dream in red, white and blue
Yeah we dream as big as we want to
The Last Thing I Do Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn
I've been livin' on truck stop coffee, cigarettes and vitamin C
It's a wonder that the devil ain't caught me
I guess he's tired of playin' hide-n-seek
I've been drivin' like I'm struck by lightin'
I think about ya and I start to speed
I might as well be playin' with matches
In a truckload of gasoline
[CHORUS]
If it's the last thing I do
If it takes me from Tupelo to Timbuktu
If it's the last thing I do
I'm gonna dodge every roadblock, speed trap and county cop
To get my hands on you
If it's the last thing I do
Box of chicken and a day old biscuit
Ain't nothin' left but a few old bones
I outta stop but I'm gonna risk it
Caffeine got me chewin' Styrofoam
Girl I'm callin' out of Kansas City
From a fillin' station telephone
Just had to tell you what I've been thinkin'
First thing I wanna do when I get home
[CHORUS]
[BREAK]
Yeah I've been drivin' like I'm struck by lightin'
I think about ya and I start to speed
I might as well be playin' with matches
In a truckload of gasoline
[CHORUS]
If it's the last thing I do
If it's the last thing I do
If it's the last thing I do
I'm gonna dodge every roadblock, speed trap and country cop to get my hands on you.
Dodge every roadblock, speed trap and country cop to get my hands on you.

The Long Goodbye Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn
I know they say if you love somebody
You should set them free
But it sure is hard to do
It sure is hard to do
I know they say if you don't come back again
Then it's meant to be (so they say)
Those words don't pull me through
Cause I'm still in love with you
I spend each day here waiting for a miracle
But it's just you and me goin' through the mill
climbin' up a hill
[CHORUS]
This is the long goodbye
Somebody tell me why
Two lovers in love can't make it
Just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart
No matter how hard I try
I always make you cry
Come on, baby, it's over?-let's face it
All that's happening here is a long goodbye
Sometimes I ask my heart did we really
Give our love a chance (just one more chance)
But I know without a doubt
We turned it inside out
And if we walked away
It would make more sense
But it tears me up inside
Just to think we could still try
How long must we keep running on a carousel
Goin' round and round and never getting anywhere
On a wing and prayer
[CHORUS]
Long goodbye
Long goodbye
You should set them free
But it sure is hard to do
It sure is hard to do
I know they say if you don't come back again
Then it's meant to be (so they say)
Those words don't pull me through
Cause I'm still in love with you
I spend each day here waiting for a miracle
But it's just you and me goin' through the mill
climbin' up a hill
[CHORUS]
This is the long goodbye
Somebody tell me why
Two lovers in love can't make it
Just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart
No matter how hard I try
I always make you cry
Come on, baby, it's over?-let's face it
All that's happening here is a long goodbye
Sometimes I ask my heart did we really
Give our love a chance (just one more chance)
But I know without a doubt
We turned it inside out
And if we walked away
It would make more sense
But it tears me up inside
Just to think we could still try
How long must we keep running on a carousel
Goin' round and round and never getting anywhere
On a wing and prayer
[CHORUS]
Long goodbye
Long goodbye
Go West Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn
That burning sunset in the sky
Is calling out to us tonight
I won't work for my old man
Anymore that you fit into your mammas plan
There's a place for people like you and me
True love's still got room to breathe
And we can drive all night
Into the morning light
Let's go west
It's our ticket out of here
Yeah we can disappear
Let's go west
And that painted sky was made for us
It's everything we ever dreamed of
Let's go west
It's hard to leave this place behind
Got memories turning in my mind
Little white house with a picket fence
That protected small town innocence
But it seems like an even trade to me
That security for our destiny
Yeah we can drive all night
Till the morning light
Let's go west
A place that we can go
Where the tall dreams grow
Let's go west
And we'll find a place to call our own
There's somewhere out there we belong
Let's go west
And that painted sky was made for us
It's everything we ever dreamed of
[Repeat 2nd Chorus]
Yeah let's go west
Oh let's go west
Oh let's go west
Yeah let's go west
Is calling out to us tonight
I won't work for my old man
Anymore that you fit into your mammas plan
There's a place for people like you and me
True love's still got room to breathe
And we can drive all night
Into the morning light
Let's go west
It's our ticket out of here
Yeah we can disappear
Let's go west
And that painted sky was made for us
It's everything we ever dreamed of
Let's go west
It's hard to leave this place behind
Got memories turning in my mind
Little white house with a picket fence
That protected small town innocence
But it seems like an even trade to me
That security for our destiny
Yeah we can drive all night
Till the morning light
Let's go west
A place that we can go
Where the tall dreams grow
Let's go west
And we'll find a place to call our own
There's somewhere out there we belong
Let's go west
And that painted sky was made for us
It's everything we ever dreamed of
[Repeat 2nd Chorus]
Yeah let's go west
Oh let's go west
Oh let's go west
Yeah let's go west
My Heart Is Lost To You Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn
Maybe it was the moonlight
The scent of you on the breeze
Maybe it was your shadow that fell over me
Such a beautiful stranger
Eyes darker than coal
Your first look crossed the desert
Into my soul
Mi Corzon perdido en ti
My heart is lost to you
You have captured my love completely
My heart is lost to you
Oh my heart is lost to you
Maybe it was the music
The way it moved with your hair
Or the heat of the moment
That hung in the air
But when I saw you there dancing
Mesmerized by the gaze
There was some kind of magic
That led me away
[chorus]
The scent of you on the breeze
Maybe it was your shadow that fell over me
Such a beautiful stranger
Eyes darker than coal
Your first look crossed the desert
Into my soul
Mi Corzon perdido en ti
My heart is lost to you
You have captured my love completely
My heart is lost to you
Oh my heart is lost to you
Maybe it was the music
The way it moved with your hair
Or the heat of the moment
That hung in the air
But when I saw you there dancing
Mesmerized by the gaze
There was some kind of magic
That led me away

Good Girls Go To Heaven Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn
Some girls go to church on Sunday
Live life by the golden rule
You got girls gonna graduate one day
Suma cum laude from party school
Some they walk the straight and narrow
Some girls they just don't care
Good girls go to heaven
Bad girls go everywhere
Some girls are into heavy metal
Dance with the devil everywhere they go
Others of 'em cut a rug to the fiddle
Dance to the rhythm of the cotton eyed Joe
[CHORUS]
Miss high fullutin' likes to sip fine champagne
Prim and proper drippin' in diamond rings
Little sister wears high heals and blue jeans
A long neck drinkin' certified wild thang
[CHORUS]
Good girls go to heaven bad girls go everywhere
Live life by the golden rule
You got girls gonna graduate one day
Suma cum laude from party school
Some they walk the straight and narrow
Some girls they just don't care
Good girls go to heaven
Bad girls go everywhere
Some girls are into heavy metal
Dance with the devil everywhere they go
Others of 'em cut a rug to the fiddle
Dance to the rhythm of the cotton eyed Joe
[CHORUS]
Miss high fullutin' likes to sip fine champagne
Prim and proper drippin' in diamond rings
Little sister wears high heals and blue jeans
A long neck drinkin' certified wild thang
[CHORUS]
Good girls go to heaven bad girls go everywhere
When She's Gone, She's Gone Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn
Saw an old friend last night I hadn't seen in a couple of years
Stopped in Galatoire's had a couple of beers
Talked about the price of oysters, the coach at LSU
Then like I knew it would the conversation turned to you
He had to go and I looked at my watch, it was 1:45
I headed down canal, the quarter was coming alive
A man on the corner told me that Jesus is coming soon
But I was lost in the music and the crowd and the smell of cheap perfume
It's not good for a man to be alone
But a women needs someone that she can count on
And I walked down by the river in the cold gray dawn
Love is like the Mississippi
When she's gone she's gone
The line was long at Cafe Du Monde so I walked out on the pier
Thought about all the winds and turns and mistakes that got me here
Might as well try to change the course this old river takes
Than to go back in time when you were mine, pretend it's not late
It's not good for a man to be alone
But a women needs someone that she can count on
And what I'd give to go back but the current's just too strong
Love is like the Mississippi
When she's gone she's gone
[Repeat 2nd chorus]
Yeah she's gone
Stopped in Galatoire's had a couple of beers
Talked about the price of oysters, the coach at LSU
Then like I knew it would the conversation turned to you
He had to go and I looked at my watch, it was 1:45
I headed down canal, the quarter was coming alive
A man on the corner told me that Jesus is coming soon
But I was lost in the music and the crowd and the smell of cheap perfume
It's not good for a man to be alone
But a women needs someone that she can count on
And I walked down by the river in the cold gray dawn
Love is like the Mississippi
When she's gone she's gone
The line was long at Cafe Du Monde so I walked out on the pier
Thought about all the winds and turns and mistakes that got me here
Might as well try to change the course this old river takes
Than to go back in time when you were mine, pretend it's not late
It's not good for a man to be alone
But a women needs someone that she can count on
And what I'd give to go back but the current's just too strong
Love is like the Mississippi
When she's gone she's gone
[Repeat 2nd chorus]
Yeah she's gone
Ain't Nothing 'Bout You Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn
Once I thought that love was something I could never do
Never knew that I could feel this much
But this yearning in the deep part of my heart for you
Is more than a reaction to your touch
It's a perfect passion and I can't get enough
The way you look, the way you laugh,
The way you love with all you have,
There ain't nothing bout you that don't do something for me
The way you kiss, The way you cry,
The way you move when you walk by
There's ain't nothing bout you (there ain't nothing bout you)
That don't do something for me
In my life I've been hammered by some heavy blows
That never knocked me off my feet
All you gotta do is smile at me and down I go
And baby it's no mystery why I surrender
Girl you got everything
The way you look, the way you laugh,
The way you love with all you have,
There ain't nothing bout you that don't do something for me
The way you kiss, The way you cry,
The way you move when you walk by
There's ain't nothing bout you (there ain't nothing bout you)
That don't do something for me
I love your attitude, your rose tattoo, your every thought
Your smile, you lips and girl the list goes on and on and on
The way you look, the way you laugh,
The way you love with all you have,
There ain't nothing bout you that don't do something for me
The way you kiss, The way you cry,
The way you move when you walk by
There's ain't nothing bout you (there ain't nothing bout you)
That don't do something for me
The way you look, the way you laugh,
The way you love with all you have,
Your dance, your drive, You make me feel alive
The way you talk, the way you tease
Right now I think you see
There ain't nothing bout you that don't do something for me
Never knew that I could feel this much
But this yearning in the deep part of my heart for you
Is more than a reaction to your touch
It's a perfect passion and I can't get enough
The way you look, the way you laugh,
The way you love with all you have,
There ain't nothing bout you that don't do something for me
The way you kiss, The way you cry,
The way you move when you walk by
There's ain't nothing bout you (there ain't nothing bout you)
That don't do something for me
In my life I've been hammered by some heavy blows

All you gotta do is smile at me and down I go
And baby it's no mystery why I surrender

Your dance, your drive, You make me feel alive
The way you talk, the way you tease
Right now I think you see

Unloved Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn
I know you know
Just how it goes when it goes
And how it feels
To be lost and left alone on your own
And what it's like
To give all you got and have to stand and watch it
As it walks away
So everyone deserves a chance to live and learn
From mistakes
That we make and hearts that break and bridges burn
Starting now
From this moment on nothing's gonna go wrong
Love is here to stay
You'll never be without
You'll always have enough
When you're in my arms
You'll never go unloved
As long as there is time
And for all of it to come
No matter where you go
I want you to know
You'll never be unloved
So in this life we lead
Some things are guaranteed
You can
Count on the fact that hearts won't act responsibly
Now and then
Comes a love that's heaven sent and meant to be
So baby look at me
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
Just how it goes when it goes
And how it feels
To be lost and left alone on your own
And what it's like
To give all you got and have to stand and watch it
As it walks away
So everyone deserves a chance to live and learn
From mistakes
That we make and hearts that break and bridges burn
Starting now
From this moment on nothing's gonna go wrong
Love is here to stay
You'll never be without
You'll always have enough
When you're in my arms
You'll never go unloved
As long as there is time
And for all of it to come
No matter where you go
I want you to know
You'll never be unloved
So in this life we lead
Some things are guaranteed
You can
Count on the fact that hearts won't act responsibly
Now and then
Comes a love that's heaven sent and meant to be
So baby look at me

Deny, Deny, Deny Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn
That wasn't me at a quarter to three back in our backyard
Tearing up the roses and the home grown tomatoes in my new car
Those bottles in the driveway and the bottles in the hall
Well I don't know where they came from
It must be burglars in the neighborhood
I sure hope they catch those bums
I know you've got your own version of the truth
There's only three things left now I can do
Deny, Deny, Deny
Well I was allegedly dropped
By a truck stop waitress at our front door
Now who you gonna believe
Your sweet lovin' daddy or those lying eyes of yours
That lipstick on my collar
That you found this morning well that's not lipstick at all
I was just in a hurry to get back to you honey
Had myself a little fall
Oh yeah you've got your own version of the truth
There's only three things left now I can do
Deny, Deny, Deny
Oh please don't answer the phone
Hey ain't it great being home and alone like this
That cigarette voice asking for her big boy
Why should I know who that is
Yeah I know it looks bad but
You're lookin' at a victim of a circumstance or two
Oh what is it now seems like nothing I do ever pleases you
[1st CHORUS]
Deny, deny, deny
Tearing up the roses and the home grown tomatoes in my new car
Those bottles in the driveway and the bottles in the hall
Well I don't know where they came from
It must be burglars in the neighborhood
I sure hope they catch those bums
I know you've got your own version of the truth
There's only three things left now I can do

Lucky Me, Lonely You Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn
Girl you've got lonely written all over you
I can read the writing from across this crowded room
All by yourself there in your world of blue
Lucky me, lonely you
Must be in the cards
Fate played a part
Brought us here tonight
Heaven must have lined the stars up in the sky just right
[Chorus]
Who knows the right song, a slow dance
Might heal your heartache
Somethin' tells me I don't know
I just might be here to save the day
[Chorus]
Girl you've got Oh you've got lonely written all over you
I can read the writing from across this crowded room
All by yourself there in your world of blue
Lucky me, lucky me, lucky me, lonely you
I can read the writing from across this crowded room
All by yourself there in your world of blue
Lucky me, lonely you
Must be in the cards
Fate played a part
Brought us here tonight
Heaven must have lined the stars up in the sky just right
[Chorus]
Who knows the right song, a slow dance
Might heal your heartache
Somethin' tells me I don't know
I just might be here to save the day

I can read the writing from across this crowded room
All by yourself there in your world of blue
Lucky me, lucky me, lucky me, lonely you
Fall Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn
I breeze through the day
And nothin' much seems to get in my way
I don't have a care at all
You walk in the room
It's always the same
You call out my name
I turn
You smile
I fall
I'm at home at night
Just me and the moon
But doin' all right
When out of the blue you call
I hang up the phone
I lay down in bed
Your still in my head
I dream
You smile
I fall
Oh what could this feeling be
Could it really be love
That's happening to me
Oh yeah yeah
The closer you get
The harder it is to keep it together
I don't have a chance at all
It's out of my hands
Oh but what can I do
I'm crazy for you
We touch
You Smile
I fall
Oh Yeah
We touch
You smile
I fall
And nothin' much seems to get in my way
I don't have a care at all
You walk in the room
It's always the same
You call out my name
I turn
You smile
I fall
I'm at home at night
Just me and the moon
But doin' all right
When out of the blue you call
I hang up the phone
I lay down in bed
Your still in my head
I dream
You smile
I fall
Oh what could this feeling be
Could it really be love
That's happening to me
Oh yeah yeah
The closer you get
The harder it is to keep it together
I don't have a chance at all
It's out of my hands
Oh but what can I do
I'm crazy for you
We touch
You Smile
I fall
Oh Yeah
We touch
You smile
I fall
Every River Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn
Once upon a time
Somewhere in your past
Someone said forever
But that promise didn't last
Now you don't believe
Love is ever true
Steel yourself against the day
When I stopped loving you
When the day comes that I don't love you
Every star will fall out of the sky
And every mountain will tumble down
And every river run dry
For every drop of rain
That ever touched the ground
For every tear that ever fell
And never made a sound
I'll be there
To hear you call
And I'll be there to catch you baby
Should you ever fall
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
And every river run dry
Somewhere in your past
Someone said forever
But that promise didn't last
Now you don't believe
Love is ever true
Steel yourself against the day
When I stopped loving you
When the day comes that I don't love you
Every star will fall out of the sky
And every mountain will tumble down
And every river run dry
For every drop of rain
That ever touched the ground
For every tear that ever fell
And never made a sound
I'll be there
To hear you call
And I'll be there to catch you baby
Should you ever fall
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
And every river run dry
See Jane Dance Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn
It started with a dare at a bar in Sarasota
A spring break party miles from Minnesota
Jane was with her friends to mark a celebration
Phi Beta Kappa for her college graduation
A little pomp and circumstance
See Jane dance
The bouncer led the ladies to an open-air cabana
A sea of Coppertone's and Hawaiian Tropicana's
A slew of southern beauties were causin' a commotion
Oilin' up their skin to win a trip across the ocean
Jane had never been to France
See Jane dance
She jumped up on the stage and after many margaritas
She took her place in line amongst the tanned senioritis
She tore into a groove and lost her inhibition
Stirrin' up the crowd, she blew away the competition
In her leopard underpants
See Jane dance
Now she drives a Beamer that was bartered for a gig in Barcelona
A Harley that was payment from the bikers in Daytona
She's heavily invested her stock is on the run
Be worth a couple million by the time she's thirty-one
So before you miss your chance
See Jane dance
Yeah she'll put ya in a trance
See Jane dance
Dance

Goin' Under Gettin' Over You Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn
I woke up in the front yard
In the back seat of a Buick
With the lights and the radio on
I stumbled 'cross the grass
To the front porch through the door
Of a house that once was our home
If love once lived here you can't tell it
If I could just let go I'd sell it
Oh, I'm goin' under gettin' over you
Made my way down the hall
Through the boxes to the bed
Where I used to hold you all night long
Your perfume on the pillow
Where you once laid your head
Stays there to remind me you're gone
It's gonna tear me apart if I let it
I should just move on and forget it
But, I'm goin' under gettin' over you
The days are long and the nights are tough
All alone it's just too much
I'm not handlin' well what I'm goin' through
The whiskey ain't strong enough
My hearts down to givin' up
I'm down to my last cigarette too
Oh, I'm goin' under gettin' over you
In the back seat of a Buick
With the lights and the radio on
I stumbled 'cross the grass
To the front porch through the door
Of a house that once was our home
If love once lived here you can't tell it
If I could just let go I'd sell it
Oh, I'm goin' under gettin' over you
Made my way down the hall
Through the boxes to the bed
Where I used to hold you all night long
Your perfume on the pillow
Where you once laid your head
Stays there to remind me you're gone
It's gonna tear me apart if I let it
I should just move on and forget it
But, I'm goin' under gettin' over you
The days are long and the nights are tough
All alone it's just too much
I'm not handlin' well what I'm goin' through
The whiskey ain't strong enough
My hearts down to givin' up
I'm down to my last cigarette too
Oh, I'm goin' under gettin' over you
Missing You Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn
Everytime I think of you
I always catch my breath
And I'm still standing here and your miles away
And I'm wondering why you left
And there's a storm that's raging
Through my frozen heart tonight
I hear your name in certain circles
And it always makes me smile
I spend my time thinking about you
And it's almost driving me wild
And there's a heart that's breaking
Down this long distance line tonight
I ain't missing you
Since you've been gone...away
I ain't missing you
No matter what I might say
There's a message in the wire and I'm sending you this signal tonight
You don't know how desperate I've become
And it looks like I'm losing this fight
In your world I have no meaning
I try so hard to understand
And it's my heart that's breaking
Down this long distance line tonight
I ain't missing you
Since you've been gone...away
I ain't missing you
No matter what my friends say
There's a message that I'm sending out
Like a telegraph to your soul
And if I can't bridge this distance
Stop this heartbreak overload
I ain't missing you
Since you've been gone...away
I ain't missing you
No mater what my friends say
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I always catch my breath
And I'm still standing here and your miles away
And I'm wondering why you left
And there's a storm that's raging
Through my frozen heart tonight
I hear your name in certain circles
And it always makes me smile
I spend my time thinking about you
And it's almost driving me wild
And there's a heart that's breaking
Down this long distance line tonight
I ain't missing you
Since you've been gone...away
I ain't missing you
No matter what I might say
There's a message in the wire and I'm sending you this signal tonight
You don't know how desperate I've become
And it looks like I'm losing this fight
In your world I have no meaning
I try so hard to understand
And it's my heart that's breaking
Down this long distance line tonight
I ain't missing you
Since you've been gone...away
I ain't missing you
No matter what my friends say
There's a message that I'm sending out
Like a telegraph to your soul
And if I can't bridge this distance
Stop this heartbreak overload
I ain't missing you
Since you've been gone...away
I ain't missing you
No mater what my friends say
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
Temptation #9 Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn
Yeah I've been hurt and I've been blue
And I've been thinkin' 'bout the changes love has put me through
I've told myself it's got to end
I've had enough and I ain't goin' back again
I've watched 'em come
I've watched 'em go
Six, seven, eight and I can still say no
And then tonight you came along
Only a fool would wanna be that strong
Temptation #9
Make a man wanna cross that line
Face to face with a chance like this
There's only so much that a man can resist
I walked alone, I played it safe
Tryin' not to count the times I walked away
'Cause when you love and love goes wrong
A broken heart just seems too much to gamble on
I first saw you, I had to think
Oh another pretty woman just what I don't need
But when I look into your eyes
Hey I see somethin' makes me wanna roll the dice
Temptation #9
Make a man wanna cross that line
Face to face with a chance like this
There's only so much that a man can resist
Ooh you got it shakin'
Ooh there's no mistakin'
You're the next trip that I'll be takin'
[Chorus]
And I've been thinkin' 'bout the changes love has put me through
I've told myself it's got to end
I've had enough and I ain't goin' back again
I've watched 'em come
I've watched 'em go
Six, seven, eight and I can still say no
And then tonight you came along
Only a fool would wanna be that strong
Temptation #9
Make a man wanna cross that line
Face to face with a chance like this
There's only so much that a man can resist
I walked alone, I played it safe
Tryin' not to count the times I walked away
'Cause when you love and love goes wrong
A broken heart just seems too much to gamble on
I first saw you, I had to think
Oh another pretty woman just what I don't need
But when I look into your eyes
Hey I see somethin' makes me wanna roll the dice
Temptation #9
Make a man wanna cross that line
Face to face with a chance like this
There's only so much that a man can resist
Ooh you got it shakin'
Ooh there's no mistakin'
You're the next trip that I'll be takin'
[Chorus]
Hurt Train Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn
Ridin' on a hurt train
Making tracks
Ridin' on a hurt train
Ain't no turnin' back
I'm out here on a hurt train
The moanin' of the rails
Seems like a sad song
Last call farewell
A hundred tons of cold steel
Rustin' in the rain
The singin' of the rollin' wheels
Are callin' out her name
That whistle keeps blowin'
That high lonesome sound
It tells me where I'm goin'
Is gonna be a long way down
Ridin' on a hurt train
Making tracks
Ridin' on a hurt train
Ain't no turnin' back
I'm out here on a hurt train
The moanin' of the rails
Seems like a sad song
Last call farewell
Now here I sit loaded
Wondering what went wrong
The whiskey I can hold it
I just don't know how long
I'm out here on a hurt train
A hundred tons of cold steel
Rustin' in the rain
The singin' of the rollin' wheels
Are callin' out her name
Ridin' on a hurt train
Making tracks
Ridin' on a hurt train
Ain't no turnin' back
I'm out here on a hurt train
The moanin' of the rails
Seems like a sad song
Last call farewell
Ain't no turnin' back
Making tracks
Ridin' on a hurt train
Ain't no turnin' back
I'm out here on a hurt train
The moanin' of the rails
Seems like a sad song
Last call farewell
A hundred tons of cold steel
Rustin' in the rain
The singin' of the rollin' wheels
Are callin' out her name
That whistle keeps blowin'
That high lonesome sound
It tells me where I'm goin'
Is gonna be a long way down
Ridin' on a hurt train
Making tracks
Ridin' on a hurt train
Ain't no turnin' back
I'm out here on a hurt train
The moanin' of the rails
Seems like a sad song
Last call farewell
Now here I sit loaded
Wondering what went wrong
The whiskey I can hold it
I just don't know how long
I'm out here on a hurt train
A hundred tons of cold steel
Rustin' in the rain
The singin' of the rollin' wheels
Are callin' out her name
Ridin' on a hurt train
Making tracks
Ridin' on a hurt train
Ain't no turnin' back
I'm out here on a hurt train
The moanin' of the rails
Seems like a sad song
Last call farewell
Ain't no turnin' back
Can't Stop My Heart Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn
Sittin' in my world alone
I catch myself reachin' for the phone
Gotta get outta here and find a place to get my head clear
I make a wrong turn down your road
And how I got here, I'm afraid I know
A part of me keeps going too far
I can't stop my heart
Yeah it feels what it wants to feel
And it does what it wants to do
I tell it no, then before I know it
It's a right back to lovin' you
I can't stop my heart before it's through
It's gonna break itself in two
I can't stop my heart
I do my best to leave the past
But I can't keep my heart from going back
What am I gonna do, it just remembers what it wants to
And once it lets your memory in
I let myself get swept away again and again
I know it's always tearing me apart
I can't stop, stop my heart
Yeah it feels what it wants to feel
And it does what it wants to do
I tell it no, then before I know it
It's a right back to lovin' you
I can't stop my heart before it's through
It's gonna break itself in two
I can't stop my heart
I catch myself reachin' for the phone
Gotta get outta here and find a place to get my head clear
I make a wrong turn down your road
And how I got here, I'm afraid I know
A part of me keeps going too far
I can't stop my heart
Yeah it feels what it wants to feel
And it does what it wants to do
I tell it no, then before I know it
It's a right back to lovin' you
I can't stop my heart before it's through
It's gonna break itself in two
I can't stop my heart
I do my best to leave the past
But I can't keep my heart from going back
What am I gonna do, it just remembers what it wants to
And once it lets your memory in
I let myself get swept away again and again
I know it's always tearing me apart
I can't stop, stop my heart
Yeah it feels what it wants to feel
And it does what it wants to do
I tell it no, then before I know it
It's a right back to lovin' you
I can't stop my heart before it's through
It's gonna break itself in two
I can't stop my heart
Too Far This Time Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn
She said,
Out with the boys don't cut it no more
And "I'm sorry" is just noise, she's heard it all before
Said that ring on her finger, well it feels like prison
She's talked 'til she's blue, and I don't listen
I went too far this time,
Crossed over that line,
I'm past the point of no return
Livin' proof some fools never learn
Well I pushed my luck, now she's givin' up
Somethin' tells me I went too far this time
She said,
Save your breath boy, I've heard it all,
And keep your place there with your back to the wall,
Said I'm leavin' you lonely 'cause I've had my share
Save those worn out "I love you's" for someone that cares
I went too far this time,
Crossed over that line,
I'm past the point of no return
Livin' proof some fools never learn
Well I pushed my luck, now she's givin' up
Somethin' tells me I went too far this time
Well I pushed my luck, now she's givin' up
Somethin' tells me I went too far this time
Oh somethin' tells me, I went too far this time
Out with the boys don't cut it no more
And "I'm sorry" is just noise, she's heard it all before
Said that ring on her finger, well it feels like prison
She's talked 'til she's blue, and I don't listen
I went too far this time,
Crossed over that line,
I'm past the point of no return
Livin' proof some fools never learn
Well I pushed my luck, now she's givin' up
Somethin' tells me I went too far this time
She said,
Save your breath boy, I've heard it all,
And keep your place there with your back to the wall,
Said I'm leavin' you lonely 'cause I've had my share
Save those worn out "I love you's" for someone that cares
I went too far this time,
Crossed over that line,
I'm past the point of no return
Livin' proof some fools never learn
Well I pushed my luck, now she's givin' up
Somethin' tells me I went too far this time
Well I pushed my luck, now she's givin' up
Somethin' tells me I went too far this time
Oh somethin' tells me, I went too far this time
You'll Always Be Loved By Me Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn
I know forever is a long long time
For a girl to put her heart on the line
Trust is a tight rope we all have to walk
Baby don't be afraid I won't let you fall
With a little faith mountains move
You and me we can't lose
You can count on the sun to rise
And stars to come out at night
As long as there's air to breathe
You'll always be loved by me
Love comes so many times goes
So much out there we'll never know
Call it fate call it destiny
But I think we were meant to be
This old world it spins so fast
So many times they just don't last
You can count on the sun to rise
And stars to come out at night
As long as there's air to breathe
You'll always be loved by me
You can count on the sun to rise
And stars to come out at night
As long as there's air to breathe
You'll always be loved by me
You'll always be loved by me
For a girl to put her heart on the line
Trust is a tight rope we all have to walk
Baby don't be afraid I won't let you fall
With a little faith mountains move
You and me we can't lose
You can count on the sun to rise
And stars to come out at night
As long as there's air to breathe
You'll always be loved by me
Love comes so many times goes
So much out there we'll never know
Call it fate call it destiny
But I think we were meant to be
This old world it spins so fast
So many times they just don't last
You can count on the sun to rise
And stars to come out at night
As long as there's air to breathe
You'll always be loved by me
You can count on the sun to rise
And stars to come out at night
As long as there's air to breathe
You'll always be loved by me
You'll always be loved by me
I Love You More Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn
You've stood too long with your tears in the doorway
I guess I've run out of the right things to say
You've made up your mind that he'll make you happy
I don't have the heart to stand in your way
Maybe tonight you think you're in love
But baby tomorrow when you wake up
Just remember when he looks at you
He don't see what I see
That little girl smile, that woman in your eyes
That always got to me
Just remember when you turn down the lights
Who you're really reachin' for
Yeah he can tell you he loves you but I love you more
I was the one that told you he loved you
You were afraid you couldn't be loved
I was the one who you could believe
Would never leave when times got tough
I'll never say I told you so
But take this with you when you go
Just remember when he looks at you
He don't see what I see
That little girl smile, that woman in your eyes
That always got to me
Just remember when you turn down the lights
Who you're really reachin' for
Yeah he can tell you he loves you but I love you more
Yeah he can tell you he loves you
But I love you more
Oh he can tell you he loves you
But I love you more
I guess I've run out of the right things to say
You've made up your mind that he'll make you happy
I don't have the heart to stand in your way
Maybe tonight you think you're in love
But baby tomorrow when you wake up
Just remember when he looks at you
He don't see what I see
That little girl smile, that woman in your eyes
That always got to me
Just remember when you turn down the lights
Who you're really reachin' for
Yeah he can tell you he loves you but I love you more
I was the one that told you he loved you
You were afraid you couldn't be loved
I was the one who you could believe
Would never leave when times got tough
I'll never say I told you so
But take this with you when you go
Just remember when he looks at you
He don't see what I see
That little girl smile, that woman in your eyes
That always got to me
Just remember when you turn down the lights
Who you're really reachin' for
Yeah he can tell you he loves you but I love you more
Yeah he can tell you he loves you
But I love you more
Oh he can tell you he loves you
But I love you more
Beer Thirty Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn
I got a six pack, got a single stem rose
My baby's dressed up she's raring to go
I got a Jones for the moon and the jukebox
I like to two step she likes to rock
That clock on the wall it rings, it chimes
It's beer thirty, a honky tonk time
Life's too short, let's get to livin' it
Let's give it all we can give it
Let your hair down, turn the music up
We gonna paint the town flat, tear it up
The party starts here get in line
Beer thirty a honky tonk time
I put in my four day
I'm going home
Lord my get-up has got up and gone
Got my paycheck I'm on my way
It's finally Friday my kind of day
I punch the clock, I hit the road flying
It's beer thirty, a honky tonk time
Yeah life's too short, let's get to livin' it
Let's give it all we can give it
Let your hair down, turn the music up
We gonna paint the town flat, tear it up
The party starts here get in line
It's beer thirty a honky tonk time
Yeah life's too short, let's get to livin' it
Let's give it all we can give it

Don't Look Back Now Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn
He doesn't want your love
But he can't say goodbye
He's beggin' you to stay
But he can't tell you why
You finally made your move
Your hand is on the door
You know the rest is hard
You've been this far before
Don't look back now
He's gonna see you cryin'
You'll turn around
It happens everytime
That look will always break you down
Don't look back now
You pick your suitcase up
You hear him call your name
You'd give your soul to him
If things could be the same
You stop and close your eyes
You grab some memories
You think of better days
But that's all history
Don't look back now
He's gonna see you cryin'
You'll turn around
It happens everytime
That look will always break you down
Don't look back now
But he can't say goodbye
He's beggin' you to stay
But he can't tell you why
You finally made your move
Your hand is on the door
You know the rest is hard
You've been this far before
Don't look back now
He's gonna see you cryin'
You'll turn around
It happens everytime
That look will always break you down
Don't look back now
You pick your suitcase up
You hear him call your name
You'd give your soul to him
If things could be the same
You stop and close your eyes
You grab some memories
You think of better days
But that's all history
Don't look back now
He's gonna see you cryin'
You'll turn around
It happens everytime
That look will always break you down
Don't look back now
All Out Of Love Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn
Are you gonna call it quits
'Cause girl from where I sit
All the signs I read
Say you're over me
My world stopped
And time stands still
Until I know
I know how you feel
Are you all out of love
The story in your eyes
Tells me the well's run dry
Am I a fool for holdin' on
For prayin' this feeling's wrong
If what I fear
Is really true
Then girl
I wanna hear it from you
Are you all out of love
Are you all out of love
Is this the end of the line
Is this as far as we go
Or can I somehow change your mind
Or will your heart be forever closed
Are you all out of love
'Cause girl from where I sit
All the signs I read
Say you're over me
My world stopped
And time stands still
Until I know
I know how you feel
Are you all out of love
The story in your eyes
Tells me the well's run dry
Am I a fool for holdin' on
For prayin' this feeling's wrong
If what I fear
Is really true
Then girl
I wanna hear it from you
Are you all out of love
Are you all out of love
Is this the end of the line
Is this as far as we go
Or can I somehow change your mind
Or will your heart be forever closed
Are you all out of love
The Trouble With Angels Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn
Alone here tonight, lookin' up at the sky
Wonderin' how I let her go
Did I hold her too tight, heaven only knows
A bottle of wine, a day in the sunshine
Seems like we shared everything
Yeah I felt her love but I never saw her wings
And that's the trouble with angels
That's the trouble with angels
You can try and make her stay
But she's bound to fly away
That's the trouble with angels
Wherever you are, no matter how far
I hope you'll always understand
I'm savin' you a soft place to land
It's crazy I know talkin' like you're still so close
But the memory endures
Are you listenin', I never know for sure
And that's the trouble with angels
That's the trouble with angels
You can try and make her stay
But she's bound to fly away
That's the trouble with angels
That's the trouble with angels
That's the trouble with angels
You can try and make her stay
But she's bound to fly away
That's the trouble with angels
That's the trouble with angels
She'll fly
Wonderin' how I let her go
Did I hold her too tight, heaven only knows
A bottle of wine, a day in the sunshine
Seems like we shared everything
Yeah I felt her love but I never saw her wings
And that's the trouble with angels
That's the trouble with angels
You can try and make her stay
But she's bound to fly away
That's the trouble with angels
Wherever you are, no matter how far
I hope you'll always understand
I'm savin' you a soft place to land
It's crazy I know talkin' like you're still so close
But the memory endures
Are you listenin', I never know for sure
And that's the trouble with angels
That's the trouble with angels
You can try and make her stay
But she's bound to fly away
That's the trouble with angels
That's the trouble with angels
That's the trouble with angels
You can try and make her stay
But she's bound to fly away
That's the trouble with angels
That's the trouble with angels
She'll fly
Texas And Norma Jean Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn
It was a foggy mornin' south of San Jose
We were sittin' in a crowded coffee shop
With nothin' left to say
My cup grew cold and a teardrop rolled
Down her cheek and I brushed it away
I remember it all just like yesterday
And I see it now, I feel it still
It's a day I can't forget and never will
And I hear her voice on the winds of Abilene
She used to call me Texas and I called her Norma Jean
Still see her wavin' through the radiator steam
She was stranded by the roadside on her way to bigger things
She threw her bags in back, said she liked my hat
Her name was Marilyn Justine
I fell into her California dream
And I see it now, I feel it still
It's a day I can't forget and never will
And I hear her voice on the winds of Abilene
She used to call me Texas and I called her Norma Jean
Yeah we took a lotta detours on our winding way out west
Livin' for the moment, forgettin' all the rest
The life that she had waitin' and the one I left behind
And now I'm back here tryin' to sort it out
One fence post at a time
In that coffee shop, the road just stopped
And we faced reality
The place that she was goin' had no place for me
And I see it now, I feel it still
It's a day I can't forget and never will
And I hear her voice on the winds of Abilene
She used to call me Texas and I called her Norma Jean
Yeah I called her Norma Jean
We were sittin' in a crowded coffee shop
With nothin' left to say
My cup grew cold and a teardrop rolled
Down her cheek and I brushed it away
I remember it all just like yesterday
And I see it now, I feel it still
It's a day I can't forget and never will
And I hear her voice on the winds of Abilene
She used to call me Texas and I called her Norma Jean
Still see her wavin' through the radiator steam
She was stranded by the roadside on her way to bigger things
She threw her bags in back, said she liked my hat
Her name was Marilyn Justine
I fell into her California dream
And I see it now, I feel it still
It's a day I can't forget and never will
And I hear her voice on the winds of Abilene
She used to call me Texas and I called her Norma Jean
Yeah we took a lotta detours on our winding way out west
Livin' for the moment, forgettin' all the rest
The life that she had waitin' and the one I left behind
And now I'm back here tryin' to sort it out
One fence post at a time
In that coffee shop, the road just stopped
And we faced reality
The place that she was goin' had no place for me
And I see it now, I feel it still
It's a day I can't forget and never will
And I hear her voice on the winds of Abilene
She used to call me Texas and I called her Norma Jean
Yeah I called her Norma Jean
How Long Gone Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn
I keep thinkin' any minute you'll be comin' home honey
I aint seen nothin' of you in a month of Sundays
Tell me how long gone are you gonna be
All you said was you had to get goin'
Oh but baby I wouldnt mind knowin' just
How long gone are you gonna be
How am I supposed to make any plans
When I still dont even understand
If you're ever gonna come back home to me
How long gone are you gonna be
Maybe I didnt pay enough attention
But I do believe you forgot to mention
Just how long gone are you gonna be
The phone aint ringin', cause you still aint callin'
I aint been hearin' your footsteps fallin'
Tell me how long gone are you gonna be
How am I supposed to make any plans
When I still dont even understand
If you're ever gonna come back home to me
Tell me please
How long gone are you gonna be
I aint seen nothin' of you in a month of Sundays
Tell me how long gone are you gonna be
All you said was you had to get goin'
Oh but baby I wouldnt mind knowin' just
How long gone are you gonna be
How am I supposed to make any plans
When I still dont even understand
If you're ever gonna come back home to me
How long gone are you gonna be
Maybe I didnt pay enough attention
But I do believe you forgot to mention
Just how long gone are you gonna be
The phone aint ringin', cause you still aint callin'
I aint been hearin' your footsteps fallin'
Tell me how long gone are you gonna be
How am I supposed to make any plans
When I still dont even understand
If you're ever gonna come back home to me
Tell me please
How long gone are you gonna be
Can't Get Over You Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn
I forget where I'm goin' in my own house
I got myself in this, I'll get myself out
I talk out loud, at the top of my voice I sing
Whoa keep the faith, see what tomorrow brings
I can't get over you
Try as I may oh it no use
My heart just cant leave you alone
My mind wont believe you're gone
I can't get over you
I got a front row seat here to a fool's masquerade
And that fool in the mirror keeps sayin' I'm doin' ok
I stare at that door that you walked out
It hits me hard and leaves no doubt
I can't get over you
Try as I may oh it no use
My heart just cant leave you alone
My mind wont believe you're gone
I can't get over you
I can't get over you
Try as I may oh it no use
My heart just cant leave you alone
My mind wont believe you're gone
I can't get over you
I got myself in this, I'll get myself out
I talk out loud, at the top of my voice I sing
Whoa keep the faith, see what tomorrow brings
I can't get over you
Try as I may oh it no use
My heart just cant leave you alone
My mind wont believe you're gone
I can't get over you
I got a front row seat here to a fool's masquerade
And that fool in the mirror keeps sayin' I'm doin' ok
I stare at that door that you walked out
It hits me hard and leaves no doubt
I can't get over you
Try as I may oh it no use
My heart just cant leave you alone
My mind wont believe you're gone
I can't get over you
I can't get over you
Try as I may oh it no use
My heart just cant leave you alone
My mind wont believe you're gone
I can't get over you
South Of Sante Fe Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn
Where the rain dont fall and the grass dont grow
The older part of New Mexico
I drifted into town one day
And stumbled in on a lost cafe
Shades were pulled and the door was locked
Something made me knock
Time stood still when she opened the door
I didnt know where I was anymore
And we were lost in each other's eyes
Where loneliness meets paradise
Something in my heart broke free
Blowing wind as the tumbleweed
Somewhere north of heaven
Where eagles fear to fly
Where the sun burns hot as the devil's gate
The desert meets the sky
Tattooed on my memory is the image of an angels face
North of heaven, south of Santa Fe
Bad news tends to travel fast
I was running from my past
I left her when ther morning broke
Truth is I never let her go
I'm still running free
But in my heart I'll always be
Somewhere north of heaven
Where eagles fear to fly
Where the sun burns hot as the devil's gate
The desert meets the sky
Tattooed on my memory is the image of an angels face
North of heaven, south of Santa Fe
North of heaven, south of Santa Fe
The older part of New Mexico
I drifted into town one day
And stumbled in on a lost cafe
Shades were pulled and the door was locked
Something made me knock
Time stood still when she opened the door
I didnt know where I was anymore
And we were lost in each other's eyes
Where loneliness meets paradise
Something in my heart broke free
Blowing wind as the tumbleweed
Somewhere north of heaven
Where eagles fear to fly
Where the sun burns hot as the devil's gate
The desert meets the sky
Tattooed on my memory is the image of an angels face
North of heaven, south of Santa Fe
Bad news tends to travel fast
I was running from my past
I left her when ther morning broke
Truth is I never let her go
I'm still running free
But in my heart I'll always be
Somewhere north of heaven
Where eagles fear to fly
Where the sun burns hot as the devil's gate
The desert meets the sky
Tattooed on my memory is the image of an angels face
North of heaven, south of Santa Fe
North of heaven, south of Santa Fe
If You See Him / If You See Her Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn (feat. Reba)
If you see him
Tell him I wish him well
How am I doing?
Well, sometimes is hard to tell
I still miss him more than ever
But please dont say a word
If you see him
If you see him
If you see her
Tell her I'm doing fine
And if you want to
Say that I think of her from time to time
Ask her if she ever wonders
Where we both went wrong
If you see her
If you see her
I still want her
I still need him so
I dont know why we let each other go
If you see her
Tell her the lights still on for her
Nothing's changed
Deep down the fire still burns for him
And even if it takes forever say I'll still be here
If you see him
If you see her
If you see him
If you see her
Tell him I wish him well
How am I doing?
Well, sometimes is hard to tell
I still miss him more than ever
But please dont say a word
If you see him
If you see him
If you see her
Tell her I'm doing fine
And if you want to
Say that I think of her from time to time
Ask her if she ever wonders
Where we both went wrong
If you see her
If you see her
I still want her
I still need him so
I dont know why we let each other go
If you see her
Tell her the lights still on for her
Nothing's changed
Deep down the fire still burns for him
And even if it takes forever say I'll still be here
If you see him
If you see her
If you see him
If you see her
Brand New Whiskey Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn
Yeah they oughta make a brand new whiskey
And give it a woman's name
A man needs something to hold onto
When a goodbye hits him like a hurricane
Make it sweet, as sweet as her lips
Something special like champagne
Yeah they oughta make a brand new whiskey
And give it a woman's name
Leaving's the reason I'm drinking
Oh I've never felt so alone
Night and day I stay stoned
Hoping to forget she's gone
I never thought she'd do me so dirty
Together forever she promised me
She took her promise and left a memory
The day the woman walked out on me
Yeah they oughta make a brand new whiskey
And give it a woman's name
A man needs something to hold onto
When a goodbye hits him like a hurricane
Make it sweet, as sweet as her lips
Something special like champagne
Yeah they oughta make a brand new whiskey
And give it a woman's name
Yeah they oughta make a brand new whiskey
And give it a woman's name
A man needs something to hold onto
When a goodbye hits him like a hurricane
Make it sweet, as sweet as her lips
Something special like champagne
Yeah they oughta make a brand new whiskey
And give it a woman's name
Yeah they oughta make a brand new whiskey
And give it a woman's name
And give it a woman's name
A man needs something to hold onto
When a goodbye hits him like a hurricane
Make it sweet, as sweet as her lips
Something special like champagne
Yeah they oughta make a brand new whiskey
And give it a woman's name
Leaving's the reason I'm drinking
Oh I've never felt so alone
Night and day I stay stoned
Hoping to forget she's gone
I never thought she'd do me so dirty
Together forever she promised me
She took her promise and left a memory
The day the woman walked out on me
Yeah they oughta make a brand new whiskey
And give it a woman's name
A man needs something to hold onto
When a goodbye hits him like a hurricane
Make it sweet, as sweet as her lips
Something special like champagne
Yeah they oughta make a brand new whiskey
And give it a woman's name
Yeah they oughta make a brand new whiskey
And give it a woman's name
A man needs something to hold onto
When a goodbye hits him like a hurricane
Make it sweet, as sweet as her lips
Something special like champagne
Yeah they oughta make a brand new whiskey
And give it a woman's name
Yeah they oughta make a brand new whiskey
And give it a woman's name
Born And Raised In Black And White Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn
The wind blows hard across the Texas plains
Makes some people go insane
While others quietly pray for rain
That's where we came from
Two boys playing in the burning sun
One with books and one with guns
Mama calls but just one comes
The other one runs
With a Christian sense of wrong and right
We were born and raised in black and white
One learned to pray, one learned to fight
We were born and raised in black and white
My brother took to the gospel road
Spent his whole life saving souls
When he looked at me and his look ran cold
He didn't even try
I had no dreams and I had no plans
But a gun felt good in my right hand
Warden said 'How come you killed that man?'
I said 'I don't know why'
Welcome home said the hot moonlight
We were born and raised in black and white
One lives to pray, one wants to die
We were born and raised in black and white
We were born and raised in black and white
Someone handed me a cigarette
They offered me my last request
I asked my moral soul be blessed
By someone close to me
I came to him with trembling hands
I swore I'd never understand
He said its just what life had planned
It's destiny
So don't waste your tears on me tonight
We were born and raised in black and white
You chose the dark, I chase the light
We were born and raised in black and white
We were born and raised in black and white
The wind blows hard across the Texas plains
Makes some people go insane
While others quietly pray for rain
Makes some people go insane
While others quietly pray for rain
That's where we came from
Two boys playing in the burning sun
One with books and one with guns
Mama calls but just one comes
The other one runs
With a Christian sense of wrong and right
We were born and raised in black and white
One learned to pray, one learned to fight
We were born and raised in black and white
My brother took to the gospel road
Spent his whole life saving souls
When he looked at me and his look ran cold
He didn't even try
I had no dreams and I had no plans
But a gun felt good in my right hand
Warden said 'How come you killed that man?'
I said 'I don't know why'
Welcome home said the hot moonlight
We were born and raised in black and white
One lives to pray, one wants to die
We were born and raised in black and white
We were born and raised in black and white
Someone handed me a cigarette
They offered me my last request
I asked my moral soul be blessed
By someone close to me
I came to him with trembling hands
I swore I'd never understand
He said its just what life had planned
It's destiny
So don't waste your tears on me tonight
We were born and raised in black and white
You chose the dark, I chase the light
We were born and raised in black and white
We were born and raised in black and white
The wind blows hard across the Texas plains
Makes some people go insane
While others quietly pray for rain
You're Love Don't Take A Backseat To Nothing Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn
I get down with music and guitars
I fool around with all kinds of fast cars
It takes you baby to keep my motor running
I smoke the tires and watch the rubber burn
It takes your fire to make my wheels turn
Make my blood run hot and keeps my heart a humming
But you're love don't take a backseat to nothing
Temptation always knocking
Get three behind me 'cause I ain't stopping
Baby you're all I need and whole lot more
Rockin' and rollin' out here on the fast lane
It can get crazy, downright insane
Burning down the highway to your front door
But you're love don't take a backseat to nothing
My baby's really something
She keeps my motor running
Her love don't take a backseat
Temptation always knocking
Get three behind me 'cause I ain't stopping
Baby you're all I need and whole lot more
But you're love don't take a backseat to nothing
I fool around with all kinds of fast cars
It takes you baby to keep my motor running
I smoke the tires and watch the rubber burn
It takes your fire to make my wheels turn
Make my blood run hot and keeps my heart a humming
But you're love don't take a backseat to nothing
Temptation always knocking
Get three behind me 'cause I ain't stopping
Baby you're all I need and whole lot more
Rockin' and rollin' out here on the fast lane
It can get crazy, downright insane
Burning down the highway to your front door
But you're love don't take a backseat to nothing
My baby's really something
She keeps my motor running
Her love don't take a backseat
Temptation always knocking
Get three behind me 'cause I ain't stopping
Baby you're all I need and whole lot more
But you're love don't take a backseat to nothing
Husbands And Wives Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn
Two broken hearts lonely looking houses
Where nobody lives
Two people each having so much pride inside
Neither side forgives
The angry words spoken in haste
Such a waste of two lives
It's my belief pride is the chief cause in the decline
Of the number of husbands and wives
A woman and a man
A man and a woman
Some can and some cant and some cant
Two broken hearts lonely looking houses
Where nobody lives
Two people each having so much pride inside
Neither side forgives
The angry words spoken in haste
Such a waste of two lives
It's my belief pride is the chief cause in the decline
Of the number of husbands and wives
It's my belief pride is the chief cause in the decline
Of the number of husbands and wives
Where nobody lives
Two people each having so much pride inside
Neither side forgives
The angry words spoken in haste
Such a waste of two lives
It's my belief pride is the chief cause in the decline
Of the number of husbands and wives
A woman and a man
A man and a woman
Some can and some cant and some cant
Two broken hearts lonely looking houses
Where nobody lives
Two people each having so much pride inside
Neither side forgives
The angry words spoken in haste
Such a waste of two lives
It's my belief pride is the chief cause in the decline
Of the number of husbands and wives
It's my belief pride is the chief cause in the decline
Of the number of husbands and wives
Way Gone Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn
Way gone for my sweet baby
So strong and I don't mean maybe
If I'm wrong then I don't know nothing
'Cause I'm way gone for her sweet loving
Way gone she's my one and only
So long to sad and lonely
She waltzed into my world
Now I'm way gone for my sweet girl
Oh if I'm half the man
My sweet baby thinks I am
I guess I better pack my bags
'Cause I don't plan on coming back
Way gone and I've crossed over
I'm lucky as a four leaf clover
I don't want nobody to save me
'Cause I way gone for my sweet baby
Oh if I'm half the man
My sweet baby thinks I am
I guess I better pack my bags
'Cause I don't plan on coming back
Way gone she's a one-way ticket
Rock on gonna get down with it
Sweet lips and brunette curls
Yes I'm way gone for my sweet girl
Way gone for my sweet baby
So strong and I don't mean maybe
If I'm wrong then I don't know nothing
'Cause I'm way gone for her sweet loving
Way gone - for my sweet baby
Way gone - and I don't mean maybe
Rock on - Time to get down with it
Way gone
So strong and I don't mean maybe
If I'm wrong then I don't know nothing
'Cause I'm way gone for her sweet loving
Way gone she's my one and only
So long to sad and lonely
She waltzed into my world
Now I'm way gone for my sweet girl
Oh if I'm half the man
My sweet baby thinks I am
I guess I better pack my bags
'Cause I don't plan on coming back
Way gone and I've crossed over
I'm lucky as a four leaf clover
I don't want nobody to save me
'Cause I way gone for my sweet baby
Oh if I'm half the man
My sweet baby thinks I am
I guess I better pack my bags
'Cause I don't plan on coming back
Way gone she's a one-way ticket
Rock on gonna get down with it
Sweet lips and brunette curls
Yes I'm way gone for my sweet girl
Way gone for my sweet baby
So strong and I don't mean maybe
If I'm wrong then I don't know nothing
'Cause I'm way gone for her sweet loving
Way gone - for my sweet baby
Way gone - and I don't mean maybe
Rock on - Time to get down with it

When Love Dies Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn
Love conquers all and someday it'll conquer you
There's nothing finer than falling all in it
When love is true
But once it goes out and breaks your heart
It still ain't history
When love dies it don't rest in peace
You can lock your doors and windows
To keep the pain at bay
Yesterday may be dead and gone
But the past wont go away
Its waiting right around every corner
With a heartache you don't need
When love dies it don't rest in peace
Oh when love dies
You cant bury those memories
Oh when love dies
It disappears but it never leaves
When love dies it don't rest in peace
How does love die then come back
A ghost rattling chains
It keeps on haunting my broken heart
Driving me insane
I hear it whisper my name in the night
Just like it still lives and breathes
When love dies it don't rest in peace
Oh when love dies
You cant bury those memories
Oh when love dies
It disappears but it never leaves
When love dies it don't rest in peace
There's nothing finer than falling all in it
When love is true
But once it goes out and breaks your heart
It still ain't history
When love dies it don't rest in peace
You can lock your doors and windows
To keep the pain at bay
Yesterday may be dead and gone
But the past wont go away
Its waiting right around every corner
With a heartache you don't need
When love dies it don't rest in peace
Oh when love dies
You cant bury those memories
Oh when love dies
It disappears but it never leaves
When love dies it don't rest in peace
How does love die then come back
A ghost rattling chains
It keeps on haunting my broken heart
Driving me insane
I hear it whisper my name in the night
Just like it still lives and breathes
When love dies it don't rest in peace
Oh when love dies
You cant bury those memories
Oh when love dies
It disappears but it never leaves
When love dies it don't rest in peace
You're My Angel Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn
You're my angel, you see me through
Believe in me, I'll believe in you
Oh fill my heart from your loving well
You're my angel
Pick me up when I'm feeling down
When I stumble on shaky ground
Oh you're my answer when I cant tell
You're my angel
Oh you take me up to heaven
When you spread your loving wings
When I am weary and way behind
When I am clearly out of my mind
Oh when I find I'm in my hell
You're my angel
Oh you're my angel
Believe in me, I'll believe in you
Oh fill my heart from your loving well
You're my angel
Pick me up when I'm feeling down
When I stumble on shaky ground
Oh you're my answer when I cant tell
You're my angel
Oh you take me up to heaven
When you spread your loving wings
When I am weary and way behind
When I am clearly out of my mind
Oh when I find I'm in my hell
You're my angel
Oh you're my angel
My Maria Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn
My Maria don't you know I've come a long, long way
I been longin' to see her
When she's around she takes my blues away
Sweet Maria the sunlight surely hurts my eyes
I'm a lonely dreamer on a highway in the skies
Maria, Maria I love you
My Maria there were some blue and sorrow times
Just my thoughts about you bring back my piece of mind
Gypsy lady you're a miracle work for me
You set my soul free like a ship sailing on the sea
She is the sunlight when skies are grey
She treats me so right lady take me away
My Maria
Maria I love you
My Maria
Maria I love you
My Maria
Maria I love you
I been longin' to see her
When she's around she takes my blues away
Sweet Maria the sunlight surely hurts my eyes
I'm a lonely dreamer on a highway in the skies
Maria, Maria I love you
My Maria there were some blue and sorrow times
Just my thoughts about you bring back my piece of mind
Gypsy lady you're a miracle work for me
You set my soul free like a ship sailing on the sea
She is the sunlight when skies are grey
She treats me so right lady take me away
My Maria
Maria I love you
My Maria
Maria I love you
My Maria
Maria I love you
A Man This Lonely Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn
A man this lonely
A man this blue
A man whose world's been torn in two
Needs somebody
With a heart that's true
A man this lonely needs a woman like you
Two arms this empty
Need someone to hold
A man this lost needs somewhere to go
When the nights go on forever
And the days do too
A man this lonely needs a woman like you
I'd lost hope
I was so far down
Here you come turning all that around
I'd come to think
Of love as a lie
All that's on my mind now
Is you by my side
A man this lonely
A man this blue
A man whose world's been torn in two
Needs somebody
With a heart that's true
A man this lonely needs a woman like you
A man this lonely needs a woman like you
A man this blue
A man whose world's been torn in two
Needs somebody
With a heart that's true
A man this lonely needs a woman like you
Two arms this empty
Need someone to hold
A man this lost needs somewhere to go
When the nights go on forever
And the days do too
A man this lonely needs a woman like you
I'd lost hope
I was so far down
Here you come turning all that around
I'd come to think
Of love as a lie
All that's on my mind now
Is you by my side
A man this lonely
A man this blue
A man whose world's been torn in two
Needs somebody
With a heart that's true
A man this lonely needs a woman like you
A man this lonely needs a woman like you
Why Would I Say Goodbye Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn
I guess I lost my head last night
Kept on 'til I made you cry
Walked out with my stubborn pride
Wasn't nothing you could do to stop me
I hit the road but I didn't get far
Just drove around all night in my car
Now I'm not sure where to start
To tell you that I'm sorry
[Chorus]
I just want to hold you
I don't want to hurt you
I don't want to leave
I just want to be with you
And after living alone, lost for so long
finally found the love of my life
Why would I say goodbye
I don't know what is is about the edge of a cliff
Makes we want to get so close to it
I guess this time I finally slipped
What a foolish way to end it
Maybe that's why I'm back here now
got both feet back on the ground
Hopin' you won't turn me down
when I ask you for forgiveness
[Repeat chorus]
Kept on 'til I made you cry
Walked out with my stubborn pride
Wasn't nothing you could do to stop me
I hit the road but I didn't get far
Just drove around all night in my car
Now I'm not sure where to start
To tell you that I'm sorry
[Chorus]
I just want to hold you
I don't want to hurt you
I don't want to leave
I just want to be with you
And after living alone, lost for so long
finally found the love of my life
Why would I say goodbye
I don't know what is is about the edge of a cliff
Makes we want to get so close to it
I guess this time I finally slipped
What a foolish way to end it
Maybe that's why I'm back here now
got both feet back on the ground
Hopin' you won't turn me down
when I ask you for forgiveness
[Repeat chorus]
Mama Don't Get Dressed Up For Nothing Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn
She said hey cowboy get off of that couch
Yeah, the party's on and we're goin' out
I got my low cut dress and my knee highboots
I'm like money to burn and nothing to lose
You're the man of the house you better think of something
'Cause Mama don't get dressed up for nothing
She said I been cooped up in this house all week
It's time to pick it up and move it out to party street
She said saddle up hoss it's your lucky day
And I'm a she cat tiger comin' out of the cage
We can go high rollin' or beer joint jumpin'
Mama don't get dressed up for nothing
She's hard to handle, a little high strung
I'll see her bet and I'll raise her one
I love when she gets wound up
I'm Jack of Hearts, she's my Lady Luck
We re gonna find a little place where we can rip and roar
We gonna cut a deep groove in that hardwood floor
Set up the shooters and break out the green
Throw a whole row of quarters in the boogie machine
We gonna turn up the heat and keep the jukebox humpin'
'Cause mama don't get dressed up for nothing
Go high rollin' or beer joint jumpin'
Mama don't get dressed up for nothing
She said babe you better think of something
'Cause mama don't get dressed up for nothing
Yeah, the party's on and we're goin' out
I got my low cut dress and my knee highboots
I'm like money to burn and nothing to lose
You're the man of the house you better think of something
'Cause Mama don't get dressed up for nothing
She said I been cooped up in this house all week
It's time to pick it up and move it out to party street
She said saddle up hoss it's your lucky day
And I'm a she cat tiger comin' out of the cage
We can go high rollin' or beer joint jumpin'
Mama don't get dressed up for nothing
She's hard to handle, a little high strung
I'll see her bet and I'll raise her one
I love when she gets wound up
I'm Jack of Hearts, she's my Lady Luck
We re gonna find a little place where we can rip and roar
We gonna cut a deep groove in that hardwood floor
Set up the shooters and break out the green
Throw a whole row of quarters in the boogie machine
We gonna turn up the heat and keep the jukebox humpin'
'Cause mama don't get dressed up for nothing
Go high rollin' or beer joint jumpin'
Mama don't get dressed up for nothing
She said babe you better think of something
'Cause mama don't get dressed up for nothing
