(Mark Irwin, Alan Jackson)

I tried my hand at the game enough
But I ain't lucky when it comes to love
I want it all but I never wanna wait
You ain't like the ones I've known before
You stir up feelings that I can't ignore
This heart of mine finally understands

And baby, I've been held and I've been tied down
I've been wrapped and I've been unwound
I've been kissed oh
But I ain't never been loved
Till I was loved by you

Now people told me that I was wrong
But I knew love was a sweeter song
I kept waiting for the perfect melody
Now in your arms it's plain as day
Knowing you was worth the wait
Come say you'll never give up on me

And baby, I've been held and I've been tied down
I've been wrapped and I've been unwound
I've been kissed oh
But I ain't never been loved
Till I was loved by you

And baby, I've been held and I've been tied down
I've been wrapped and I've been unwound
I've been kissed oh
But I ain't never been loved
Till I was loved by you

Till I was loved by you
Till I was loved by you

. . .


(Harlan Howard)

To steal him's been your number one ambition
But sister here's one safe that you don't have to crack
I'll hand him over under one condition
A deal's a deal and you can't give him back

Cause he's a good ole boy
Good for nothing
Good at lying, good at loving
Good at leaving
When the rent comes due
He's a good ole boy and I'm a good ole girl
So I'll give him to you

Go ahead and take him with my blessing
He might even let you be his Sunday girl
If your not used to worrying and guessing
He'll soon shake up your cozy little world

Cause he's a good ole boy
Good for nothing
Good at lying, good at loving
Good at leaving
When the rent comes due
He's a good ole boy and I'm a good ole girl
So I'll give him to you

Cause he's a good ole boy
Good for nothing
Good at lying, good at loving
Good at leaving
When the rent comes due
He's a good ole boy and I'm a good ole girl
So I'll give him to you

He's a good ole boy and I'm a good ole girl

(Chely Wright, Jim Rushing)

I sat bored at my piano
When he walked into the bar
When he nodded from his table
I said I know just how things are
Cause the only time I see you
Is when you've made your lady cry
And you always say you'll only stay
Till all her tears are dry

Now for months I've watched you wrestle
With that other side of you
You're scared one day you'll lose your temper
Yes and then you'll lose her too
Oh they say that love is brutal
And for years she's paid the price
It might be too late you best not wait
Till all her tears are dry

You better run to her and fall on your knees
Swear that you'll be the man
She's wanted you to be
Then by the grace of God
She'll let you lay there by her side
And hold her gently
Till all her tears are dry

You better run to her and fall on your knees
Swear that you'll be the man
She's wanted you to be
Then by the grace of God
She'll let you lay there by her side
And hold her gently
Till all her tears are dry

Hold her gently

. . .


(Chely Wright, Dale Dodson)

Don't waste your time givin' me your reasons
Let's skip the ceremony of goodbye
Let's get down to the part where you are leavin'
You can space me all the who, what, whens and whys

Go on and go
Just hit the road
You won't find me standin' in your way
If you're not happy with me
Then I'll gladly set you free
Go on and go away

You want to talk this through to make it easy
A break-up just as painless as can be
And there's that line that you never meant to hurt me
Well, you're just trying to clear your conscience as you leave

Go on and go
Just hit the road
You won't find me standin' in your way
If you're not happy with me
Then I'll gladly set you free
Go on and go away

Go on and go
Just hit the road
You won't find me standin' in your way
If you're not happy with me
Then I'll gladly set you free
Go on and go away

(J. Fred Knobloch, Gary Scruggs)

Another lonesome night
Staring at the sky
But I don't help to ease an aching heart
The man up in the moon
Keeps on talking himself blue
And once again I'm left here in the dark

Let me talk to the woman in the moon
I think I need another point of view
That ol' man up there
Doesn't seem to care
Let me talk to the woman in the moon

Heaven's up above
I just want a little love
Cause I'm so tired of living all alone
Please lend a friendly ear
Cause I need some help down here
Somebody with the heart to be my own

Let me talk to the woman in the moon
I think I need another point of view
That ol' man up there
Doesn't seem to care
Let me talk to the woman in the moon

I can't help but look up there and wonder
Will I ever hold him in my arms
Please help me with this spell I've fallen under
Cause I can't seem to find my lucky stars

Let me talk to the woman in the moon
I think I need another point of view
That ol' man up there
Doesn't seem to care
Let me talk to the woman in the moon

(Chely Wright, Dale Dodson, Jimmy Melton)

I've been out here seven dances in a row
Yeah the band's so hot they won't play nothin' slow
Stetsons and Wrangler jears are floodin' through the door
And it's sink or swim as soon as you hit the floor

I'm dancin' in a sea of cowboy hats
Shoulder to shoulder and back to back
Two steppin' fools as far as the eye can see
They're ridin' the wave on that sawdust floor
Rockin' the boat from shore to shore
So jump right in cause this is where it's at in the sea of cowboy hats

Feel free to scrape your boots til they've worn holes
You won't get too far in here with rubber soles
Yeah the place is packed and we're puttin' on a show
In over our heads and caught up in the flow

I'm dancin' in a sea of cowboy hats
Shoulder to shoulder and back to back
Two steppin' fools as far as the eye can see
They're ridin' the wave on that sawdust floor
Rockin' the boat from shore to shore
So jump right in cause this is where it's at in the sea of cowboy hats

I'm dancin' in a sea of cowboy hats
Shoulder to shoulder and back to back
Two steppin' fools as far as the eye can see
They're ridin' the wave on that sawdust floor
Rockin' the boat from shore to shore

. . .


(Keith Whitley, Bill Caswell, Gary Nicholson)

It breaks my heart to see
That you're unhappy here with me
The hurt you've tried to hide can't help but show
I could cling to the past
But I'm afraid it wouldn't last
And I love you enough to let you go

Don't think that I'm all through
Or that I'm givin' up on you
Our love's the most important thing I know
But if I set you free
It just might bring you back to me
And I love you enough to let you go

I'll stand and hold the door
And watch you walk away
And welcome you back with open arms
If you come back someday
But for now it would be wrong
To keep tryin' to hold on
And I love you enough to let you go

I'll stand and hold the door
And watch you walk away
And welcome you back with open arms
If you come back someday
But for now it would be wrong
To keep tryin' to hold on

. . .


(Bill Anderson)

Nobody but a fool would love you
After the way you've done me
Broke every vow you made me, broke every rule
Who'd lie awake all night, cry til you were out of sight
Loving you with all her might
Nobody but a fool

I don't know what it was that made me trust you like I did
Stars got in my eyes or either rocks got in my head
All I know was your two lips kissed me heavenly
Til yesterday those tender lips kissed goodbye to me

I put on the saddest song ignore the telephone
I go ahead and cry the make-up from my eyes
I let my mind play tricks and then
I let it fool me once again
Into thinkin' that I'll never be alright
Then when I'm no longer crazy and I'm back to my old self
I realize how good I've always felt

Nobody but a fool would love you
After the way you've done me
Broke every vow you made me, broke every rule
Who'd lie awake all night, cry til you were out of sight
Loving you with all her might
Nobody but a fool

People tried to tell me how you'd hurt me I suppose
But I was blind as any bat and deaf as any post
You clawed me like a tiger, I loved you like a lamb
And knowing I still do just shows me up for what I am

Nobody but a fool would love you
After the way you've done me
Broke every vow you made me, broke every rule
Who'd lie awake all night, cry til you were out of sight
Loving you with all her might
Nobody but a fool

Nobody but a fool

. . .


(Chely Wright, Dale Dodson, Jimmy Melton)

All the boys he played cards with
Couldn't wait til he came
But they haven't seen him
Since I got his last name
He plays at home now
And he always wins
Those swingin' doors
Don't do nothin' for him

Cause he don't do bars anymore
That ol' jukebox
Don't turn him on like before
We dance to our radio
On our own hardwood floor
No he don't do bars anymore

He used to sit on a barstool
Keepin' sad company
Now he lays on the couch
And he watches TV
When he's wrapped up in my arms
He knows what he's found
So don't bother askin'
For him to come 'round

Cause he don't do bars anymore
That ol' jukebox
Don't turn him on like before
We dance to our radio
On our own hardwood floor
No he don't do bars anymore


. . .


(Chely Wright, Dale Dodson, Jimmy Melton)

I spent all day long just slavin' in the kitchen
I wanted everything to be just right
Yeah, the table's dressed with all the fancy trimmin's
Won't he be surprised when he comes home tonight

Well, it's half past five but there's no need to worry
There's still lots of time after all he's always late
When he's out with her he's never in a hurry
So, I light a lonely candle and set his plate

Cause tonight he's comin' home to the last supper
He'll break the bread and drink his wine alone
I know God will forgive me
Cause he knows how much I've suffered
Lord, I'd like to have a picture of the last supper

Cause tonight he's comin' home to the last supper
He'll break the bread and drink his wine alone
I know God will forgive me
Cause he knows how much I've suffered
