Don't Make Me Come To Tulsa
Don't Make Me Come To TulsaChorus Don't make me come to Tulsa You know I hate the flight I ain't been back to Oklahoma baby Since you said goodbye I heard a rumor you missed me I hope to God it's a lie You know how much I love you Don't make me come to Tulsa You had me eatin' right out of your hand I was your genuine cowboy man You threw me over for another guy I ran Dallas on a one way flight Now I'm accustomed to the shape I'm in Don't take me down again Repeat Chorus I'd love to hold you in my arms tonight I'd like to think that you'd treat me right If I believed you'd really wanted me I'd crawl to Tulsa on my achin' knees But you'd just hurt me like you did before Can't take them blues no more Repeat Chorus You know how much I love you Don't make me come to Tulsa
I'm Still Dancin' With YouI'm sittin' here surrounded by People I know The beer is cold and the music's Good and loud That used to be enough to put A smile on my face But tonight I just feel lost in this crowd There's a brunette on the dance floor That's smiled a time or two So I got up and asked her for a dance But when she put her arms around me And I held her I knew It was just too soon to take another chance Chorus Cause I'm still dancin' with you I know we said we were through But I keep holding on Letting go is just too hard to do Even when I'm holdin' someone new I'm still dancin' with you When the song was over I held on a little longer Deep inside I knew that it was wrong I could hold her in my arms For the rest of the night But I'd just be leading her on Repeat Chorus
Old Enough To Know BetterNeon lights draw me like a moth to a flame Mama raised me right That just leaves me to blame When I get a little sideways on a honky tonk tear I'm old enough to know better But I'm still too young to care Cowgirls with an attitude Boots and tight blue jeans Take my mind off doin' right and doin' other things When the weekend's gone I won't have a dime to spare I'm old enough to know better But I'm still too young to care Chorus Monday morning I wake up With a hammer in my hand The bossman yellin' something at me That I don't understand I don't know how I got to work But I sure don't know I'm there I'm old enough to know better But I'm still too young to care When the eagle flies on Friday He barely leaves the ground I've got just enough left to get dressed up And head back to town Boss says son having all that fun Won't get you anywhere I'm old enough to know better But I'm still too young to care Repeat Chorus
Kentucky BluebirdBlown down the highway By two different winds Lord only knows When I'll see you again You're 'bout as close As the moon up above You're my long distance love Chorus Kentucky Bluebird I heard your song today But when I try to touch you You fly away Blue is a feeling I'm learning so well Turn on the TV In another hotel Turn down the volume And stare at the wall God I wish you would call Repeat Chorus Bridge How I hate the miles between us They get longer each day I had this dream And you should have seen us Holding each other And drifting away Repeat Chorus
Don't StopGirl, you've got me so confused I don't know what I'm gonna do Part of me says take it slow And part of me says let it go Chorus Don't--Stop Don't--Stop Don't stop doing what you're doing to me I think we're moving way too fast We need to take it slow to make it last I can't keep holding back When you keep doing things like that Chorus Inst. Verse You start a spark of love, no doubt But I've watched the flame of love go out Burning love takes a toll I don't want to lose control Chorus
What I Meant To SayLast night I told a lie When I told you I could say goodbye Here in the light of day What a crazy thing for me to say Chorus What I meant to say was I love you What's been killin' me is I hurt you What I didn't do was hold you When I saw the teardrops fall What I should have said was I'm sorry What I should have said was forgive me What I meant to say was What I didn't say at all Last night I had a dream You were really walkin' out on me I woke up scared to death Please forget about the things I said Repeat Chorus
Steady As She GoesTonight I came home late again She didn't ask me where I've been Her bags were packed and sitting by the door She looked at me and said goodbye I did my best to change her mind But she don't want to hear it anymore Chorus She's steady as she goes Now she's not crying If I said it didn't hurt I'd be lying Where she got the strength to leave Heaven only knows But she's a rock steady as she goes It tears me up to watch her go But deep inside my heart I know Leaving is the only choice she has I guess she finally got the nerve To give me just what I deserve She's had enough and she ain't looking back Chorus and Tag
Family ReunionIt won't make the papers Like some reunions do There won't be many people Just me and him and you I made a childhood promise You laughed and dried your tears I swore that I'd bring Daddy home Tomorrow he'll be here I tracked him down in Denver Where he'd lived all alone He was just another drifter With a number on his stone In his things I found a picture Where his hands had worn it thin A smiling bride was by his side Now you'll be this way again Chorus We'll have that family reunion The one you dreamed of Until the day you died This time Mama he's gonna stay Forever by your side I never really knew him I was no more than a kid He must have been worth something If someone loved him like you did It was hard without a man there You did his part too I watched your dreams fade Through the years But Mama--this one Is coming true Repeat Chorus
Someone Had To Teach YouYes I'll take you back again you knew I would For I go loving you that's understood But it's the first time you've come back With tears in your eyes Lately someone's taught you how to cry Bridge Someone had to teach you I didn't have the heart To hurt you just like you've been hurtin' me Someone had to teach you things its time that you knew Now maybe you'll be satisfied with me Someone took your heart and rubbed it in the dirt And you look just like a puppy when it's hurt But you've had this lesson coming for so very long Our sins have a way of coming home
It's Gonna Take A MiracleRainbows and falling stars couldn't change The way things are Or I'd be in your arms tonight Wishing don't make dreams come true Or I'd be holding you I could change the past and make it right Chorus It's gonna take a miracle To bring you back I've got to face the fact I broke your heart so bad this time Nothing else is gonna change your mind You're gone for good I believe It's gonna take a miracle to bring you Back to me So I'll climb up the stairs--get down And say a prayer That's the only thing I haven't tried Lord knows I was wrong & if my faith Is strong I just might wake up by your side Repeat Chorus Instrumental Repeat Chorus Tag
