I just want to get a little more out of my payday
Finally own a car that doesn't break down on the freeway
A little vacation..... ain't askin' very much
I hate comin' home to this old broken down apartment
I wish I had a dime for every whole that's in the carpet
No I don't want it all... but I ain't got enough
Chorus
All I want is a life
To drink from a glass from a well that ain't dry
I'm sick of the crumbs I want a peice of that pie
All I want is a life.
I don't mind the hours and the pain that comes from workin'
But it's enough to kill me when I see my baby hurtin'
Wanna give her that diomond.... I never got to buy
She keeps tellin' me that everything is gettin' better
But one step up the rung and someone knocks me off the ladder
Just wanna break even someday before I die
Repeat ChorusBack to the top
Everywhere I go, They're staring at her
Every man I know he wants to have her
I guess I ought to be a jealous man
I look the other way, they're hittin' on her
Every night and every day, they telephone her
They try to get to her but I know they can't
Chorus
She never lets it go to her heart
She never lets it go that far
When they start talking she starts walking
Right back to my arms
She can turn every head
But she never lets it go to her heart
She walks into the room and everybody watches every move
Hoping she don't love me
I know it by the way they hang around
But they don't realize there's more to her than
what meets the eye that's why I'm certain
No matter what they do to reach her now
Repeat Chorus
When they start talking she starts walking
Right back to my arms
She can turn every head
But she never lets it go to her heart
Back to the top
Dancin' in the dark
Middle of the night
Takin' your heart
And holdin' it tight
Emotional touch
Touchin' my skin
And askin' you to do
What you've been doing all over again
Bridge:
Oh, it's a beautiful thing
Don't think I can keep it all in
I just gotta let you know
What it is that won't let me go
Chorus:
It's your love
It just does something to me
It sends a shock right through me
I can't get enough
And if you wonder
About the spell I'm under
It's your love
Better than I was
More than I am
And all of this happened
By takin' your hand
And who I am now
Is who I wanted to be
And now that we're together
I'm stronger than ever
I'm happy and free
Bridge 2:
Oh, it's a beautiful thing
Don't think I can keep it all in
And if you asked me why I changed
All I gotta do is say your sweet name

Spent forty-eight dollars last night at the county fair,
I throwed at my shoulder but I won her that teddy bear.
She's got me saying sugar-pie, honey, darlin', and dear,
I ain't seen the Braves play a game all year.
I'm gonna get fired, if I don't get some sleep,
My long lost buddies say I'm gettin' in to deep.
Chorus:
But I like it, I love it, I want some more of it,
I try so hard, I can't rise about it.
Don't know what it is 'bout that little gal's lovin',
But I like it, I love it, I want some more of it.
My Mama and Daddy tried to teach me courtesy,
But it never sank in 'til that firl got a hold of me.
Now I'm holding unbrellas and openin' up doors,
I'm taking out the trash and I'm sweepin' my floors.
Crossin' my fingers, and countin' every kiss,
Prayin' that it keeps goin' on like this.
Chorus:Bridge:
Got to wash my truck and dress up
To pick he rup to watch TV.
And she sits down on the sofa,
She'll move a little closer...
She can't get enough of me.
Chorus:Back to the top.
Her hat is hanging by the door
The one she bought in Mexico
It blocked the wind, it stopped the rain
She'd never leave that one
So she can't be really gone
The shoes she bought on Christmas Eve
She laughed and said they called her name
It's like they're waiting in the hall
For her to slip them on
So she can't be really gone
Chorus:
I don't know when she'll come back back
She must intend to come back
And I've seen the error of my ways
Don't waste the tears on me
What more proof do you need
Just look around the room
So much of her remains
Her book is lying on the bed
The two of hearts to mark her page
Now who could ever walk away at chapter 21
So she can't be really gone
Bridge:
Just look around this room
So much of her remains
Her book is lying on the bed
The two of hearts to mark her page
Now who could ever walk away with so much left undone
So she can't be really gone
No she can't be really gone
Back to the top.
I was standing at the end of my rainbow
Nowhere to go, and no pot of gold in sight
All my wishes were just way too much to hope for
But when I saw you, I knew I'd seen the light
Chorus:
And not a moment too soon
Without a minute to spare
You touched my heart
When I didn't have a prayer
In my darkest hour
With my world filled with gloom
Your sweet love saved me
Not a moment too soon
I used to think that love would never find me
That the one who cared was lost somewhere in time
But when you found me, I knew I'd found forever
You rescued me just before I crossed the line
Chorus
Your sweet love saved me
Not a moment too soon
Not a moment too soon

Johnny's daddy was takin' him fishin'
When he was eight years old
A little girl came through the front gate
Holdin' a fishing pole
His dad looked down and smiled
Said we can't leave her behind
Son I know you don't want her to go
But someday you'll change your mind
And Johnny said:
"Take Jimmy Johnson, take Tommy Thompson, take my best friend Bo
Take anybody that you want, as long as she don't go
Take any boy in the world
Daddy, please don't take the girl"
Same old boy, same sweet girl, ten years down the road
He held her tight and kissed her lips in
Front of the picture show
Stranger came and pulled a gun
Grabbed her by the arm
Said "If you do what I tell you to there won't be any harm"
And Johnny said:
"Take my money, take my wallet, take my credit cards
Here's the watch that my grandpa gave me,
here's the key to my car
Mister give it a whirl
But please don't take the girl"
Same old boy, same sweet girl, five years down the road
There's going to be a little one and she
Says it's time to go
Doctor says the baby's fine
But you'll have to leave
'Cause his momma's fading fast and
Johnny hit his knees
And there he prayed:
"Take the very breath you gave me, take the heart from my chest
I'll gladly take her place if you'll let me,
make this my last request
Take me out of this world
God please don't take the girl"
Johnny's daddy was takin' him fishin'
When he was eight years old....
