That's What I'd Be Like Without You (previously unreleased)
12.
Nothing Sure Looked Good On You (previously unreleased)
. . .



Cowboys don't cry, and heroes don't die 
Good always wins, again and again 
Love is a sweet dream that always comes true 
Oh, if life were like the movies, I'd never be blue 

CHORUS 
But here in the real world 
It's not that easy at all 
'Cause when hearts get broken 
It's real tears that fall 
And darlin' it's sad but true 
But the one thing I've learned from you 
Is how the boy don't always get the girl 
Here in the real world 

I gave you my love, but that wasn't enough 
To hold your heart when times got rough 
And tonight on that silver screen 
It'll end like it should 
Two lovers will make it through 
Like I hoped we would 
repeat 

REPEAT CHORUS 

No, the boy don't always get the girl 

. . .


(Alan Jackson, Randy Travis)

This old bar stool's feelin' higher 
'Cause I've started sinkin' lower 
The minute that she waltzed right through that door 
Not long ago I held her, like a fool I went and left her 
Now she's with somebody new out on that floor 

(Chorus)

And she's got the rhythm and I got the blues 
And She's showin' me how much I had to lose 
With her every little move she's tellin' me I'm over you 
She's got the rhythm and I've got the blues 

Well that music's gettin' louder 
As my heart keeps beatin' faster 
As she spells out regret in perfect time 
Well I thought I wanted freedom but that ball and chain I need 'em 
'Cause when you choose sometimes you lose the prize 

(Chorus) 

Yeah with her every little move she's tellin' me I'm over you 

. . .


(Charlie Craig/Alan Jackson) 

I thought some time in the sun
Would help me get over you 
But I could tell from day one
This is a place meant for two

Now here I sit on the beach 
Watching the tide ebb and flow 
I booked my room for a week 
But now I'm ready to go

I'm in a tropical depression
I've got the blue water blues
Can't shake this loving you obsession
Can't stand this sand in my shoes
This forgetting you vacation 
Is just a fool's holiday
If I can't get over you
This tropical depression's gonna
Blow me away

This should be paradise
Heaven down by the sea without you here by my side
It feels like hell to me

CHORUS

If I can't get over you
This tropical depression's gonna
Blow me away

If I can't get over you
This tropical depression's gonna

. . .


(Alan Jackson)

Two young people without a thing
Say some vows and spread their wings
Settle down with just what they need
Livin on love

She don't care 'bout whats in style
She just likes the wayhe smiles
It takes more than marble and tile
Livin on love

Livin on love, buyin on time
Without somebody nothing aint worth a dime
Just like an old fashioned story book rhyme
Livin on love
It sounds simple thats what you're thinkin'
But love can walk through fire without blinkin'
It doesnt take much when you get enough
Livin' on love

Two old people without a thing
Children gone but still they sing
Side by side in that front porch swing
Livin on love
He cant see anymore
And she can barely sweep the floor
Hand in hand they'll walk through that door
Livin on love

Livin on love, buyin on time
Without somebody nothing aint worth a dime
Just like an old fashioned story book rhyme
Livin on love
It sounds simple thats what you're thinkin'
But love can walk through fire without blinkin'
It doesnt take much when you get enough
Livin' on love
No it doesnt take much when you get enough
Livin' on love

. . .


(Alan Jackson)

You say your heart's been broken
And you just can't win
You say that you'll never love again
Let me tell you friend

You can't give up on love
That's the one thing we've got to keep going
'Cause it don't come easy and it's so hard to hold
But you can't give up on love

Looked out my window and what did I see
It's another broken family
The kids are stayin' with mama at home
Daddy's livin' in a house all alone

You can't give up on love
That's the one thing we've got to keep going
'Cause it don't come easy and it's so hard to hold
But you can't give up on love

Troubled times make it hard to stay
So many lovers take the easy way
But don't go crazy and jump ship too soon
'Cause every day can't be a honeymoon

You can't give up on love
That's the one thing we've got to keep going
'Cause it don't come easy and it's so hard to hold
But you can't give up on love
No, you can't give up on love
Oh, you can't give up on love

. . .


(Alan Jackson)

Here I am all alone again tonight
In this old empty house
It's hard to learn what you don't think you need
You can't live without
Never leave the sound of the telephone
But ever since you left
I've been gone

(Chorus)
Gone carzy, goin' out of my mind
I've asked myself the reasons, 
at least least thousand times
Goin' up and down this hallway
Tryin' to leave the pain behind
Ever since you left, I've been gone

I never saw your face this many times
When you were really here
The things you said I never understood
Are now crystal clear
I never spent this much time at home
But ever since you left,
I've been gone

(Chorus)

. . .


(Alan Jackson)

When your heart is all alone every second
Seems so long
When it's just you, you can't see through
Those ol' clouds that rain so blue

But when somebody loves you
There's nothing you can't do
When somebody loves you
It's easy to get through
When somebody loves you
The way I love you

When it's late, the sun hangs low
By yourself, nowhere to go
Sing a song, you dance alone
Play solitaire and stare at the phone

But when somebody loves you
There's nothing you can't do
When somebody loves you
It's easy to get through
When somebody loves you
The way I love you

So let's put aside our foolish pride
And let our hearts say hello
We both agree we're just no good
At bein' on our own

'Cause when somebody loves you
There's nothing you can't do
When somebody loves you
It's easy to get through
When somebody loves you
The way I love you

The way I love you
The way I love you


. . .



Remember when I was young and so were you
And time stood still and love was all we knew
You were the first, so was I
We made love and then you cried
Remember when
Remember when we vowed the vows
and walked the walk
Gave our hearts, made the start, it was hard
We lived and learned, life threw curves
There was joy, there was hurt
Remember when

Remember when old ones died and new were born
And life was changed, disassembled, rearranged
We came together, fell apart
And broke each other's hearts
Remember when

Remember when the sound of little feet
was the music
We danced to week to week
Brought back the love, we found trust
Vowed we'd never give up
Remember when

Remember when thirty something seemed old
Now lookin' back, it's just a steppin' stone
To where we are,
where we've been
Said we'd do it all again
Remember when

Remember when we said when we turned gray
When the children grow up and move away
We won't be sad, we'll be glad
For all the life we've had
And we'll remember when

Remember when
Remember when

. . .


(Alan Jackson)

I need some sunshine on my face
To help me dry my eyes
I need a blue sky over here
So I can clear my mind
Maybe your soft breath on my back
To make me feel at ease
Anything more than what I've got
On this rainy day in June

It's a rainy day in June
The sky is grey and I am blue
Tryin' to make it without you
On this rainy day in June

Yesterday morning I woke up
On the wrong side of the bed
And on the right side laid a note
I knew what it said
Then the rain came, hasn't stopped
I don't know if it will
But I'll keep waiting with the hopeful heart
On this rainy day in June

It's a rainy day in June
The sky is grey and I am blue
Tryin' to make it without you
On this rainy day in June

The thunder rolls, the lightning flashes
Every thought began with you
I see your face in every clouded paths
On this rainy day in June

It's a rainy day in June
The sky is grey and I am blue
Tryin' to make it without you

. . .


(Alan Jackson)

I have felt it
And I have held it
I have known
A woman's love 
I have tasted
And I have wasted
A woman's love
And I know
I'll never understand 
All the little things
that make It grand 
A woman's love
And I know
I'll never come Face to face 
With any thing
that takes the Place 
Of a woman's love

Well I have kiss it
Tried to resist it 
I have missed
A woman's love
And I have hated
Taken for granted
A woman's love

Well I have needed
And I have pleaded 
And I have lost
A woman's love 

And I have worshipped
And I have cursed it
A woman's love
Well I adore it
Thank god for it

. . .


When was the last time I told you,
just how much that you mean to me?
I'm sorry I took you forgranted,
but without you I know how I'd be...

Imagine a day without sunshine
or a mountain not having a view.
And picture the Heavens not holding the stars.
That's what I'd be like without you.

It scares me to think I could lose you
by leaving you here all alone,
but if you ever fall out of love here,
I know how I'd be on my own...

Imagine a day without sunshine
or a mountain not having a view.
And picture the Heavens not holding the stars.
That's what I'd be like without you.

That's what I'd be like without you.

. . .


You found your greener pastures in a mansion on a hill
with a flashy foreign car to drive and lots of time to kill,
but my mind goes on remembering the days of me and you,
when we were down to nothing, nothing sure looked good on you.

You said you needed simple things that I had plenty of
and through the days of dark and lean, we could always live on love.
With his style of life he lured you, and you could not refuse,
but when we were down to nothing, nothing sure looked good on you.

When you honeymooned in Paris, it was carried on the news.
And I heard you laughed your cares away on a Caribbean cruise.
You were always one for dreaming, now you're dreams can all come true,
but when we were down to nothing, nothing sure looked good on you.

You said you needed simple things that I had plenty of,
and through the days of dark and lean, we could always live on love.
With his style of life, he lured you, and you could not refuse,
but when we were down to nothing, nothing sure looked good on you.

Yes, when we were down to nothing, nothing sure looked good on you.
