Clay Walker Album

I spent half my life on bended knee
Begging somebody to change
And the other half prayinґto God
That they never would

And all it got me was twice as lost
When it all turned out the same
But all that begginґ finally did somebody good

I used to dream all night
Of a day that was gone
But come the morning light
Forever from now on

Gonna do my dreaming with my eyes wide open
Iґll do my looking back
With my eyes closed
We can do some living
Or spend our whole life hopinґ
In the end weґre left with
The one we chose
So Iґll do my dreaming with my eyes wide open

Every time the world moved on
I fell a little further behind
From running back or following someone home

Until I learned that one step forward
Will take you further on
Than a thousand back or a million that ainґt
Your own

I used to dream all night
Of a day that was gone
But come the morning light
Forever from now on

Gonna do my dreaming with my eyes wide open
Iґll do my looking back
With my eyes closed
We can do some living
Or spend our whole life hopinґ
In the end weґre left with
The one we chose
So Iґll do my dreaming with my eyes wide open

We can do some living
Or spend our whole life hopinґ
In the end weґre left with
The one we chose
So Iґll do my dreaming with my eyes wide open

What's that
I hear angels singin'
Telling me to make my move
Listen to it
Their voices ringin' baby
If you feel it get in the groove

Love is the rhythm of two hearts beating
Poundin' out a message steady and true
Talk to me baby tell me what you're feelin'
I know what love is
What's it to you

Time's up
Train's a leavin' baby
Are you ready to take that ride
Get on board
Don't keep me waiting baby
Say you're willin' to cross that line

Love is the rhythm of two hearts beating
Poundin' out a message steady and true
Talk to me baby tell me what you're feelin'
I know what love is
What's it to you

I'm sure your heart is telling you true
I gotta know what love is to you

'Cause to me it's the rhythm of two hearts beating
Poundin' out a message steady and true
Talk to me baby tell me what you're feelin'
I know what love is
What's it to you

Love is the rhythm of two hearts beating
Poundin' out a message steady and true
Talk to me baby tell me what you're feelin'
I know what love is
What's it to you
I know what love is
What's it to you

Thereґs an oil well down on Johnsonґs Road
Where weґd go to be alone
I never thought Iґd go there by myself
I stood there calling out your name
No one answered just the same
The silence speaks for itself

Well, Iґve been high and Iґve been low
And Iґve walked through the fires of hell
Are you coming back, Lord, I donґt know
I guess the silence speaks for itself
The last time you talked to me
I did all the talkinґ, now I see
You were telling me there was someone else
What Iґd give to hear your voice
But Iґm not given any choice
ґCause the silence speaks for itself

Well, Iґve been high and Iґve been low
And Iґve walked through the fires of hell
Are you coming back, Lord, I donґt know
I guess the silence speaks for itself
The last time you talked to me
I did all the talkinґ, now I see
You were telling me there was someone else
What Iґd give to hear your voice
But Iґm not given any choice
ґCause the silence speaks for itself

I guess the silence...

Three weeks in Phoenix one night to go
Youґre lookinґ too good and youґre standing to close
That song on the jukebox
Your dance-with-me smile
Has got me thinkinґ of someone
I havenґt seen in a while

You sure know how to make a man lonesome
I see so much of my woman in you
You sure know how to make a man lonesome
But she knows how to keep her man true

Yes, I know that itґs early
Why am I leaving so soon
Well, itґs too warm in here
And itґs me not the room
And the way that youґre starinґ
Iґve seen that look before
Youґre makinґ me want her all that much more

You sure know how to make a man lonesome
I see so much of my woman in you
You sure know how to make a man lonesome
But she knows how to keep her man true

You sure know how to make a man lonesome
But she knows how to keep her man true

Solid gold candle holders
And an old bottle of wine
You let your hair down on your shoulders
And you pressed your lips to mine
The rain beat soft against the window
As the night turned into dawn
As I looked deep into your eyes
I knew where my heart belonged

Iґm ready for the next step in love
Girl, youґre all that I can think of
Isnґt my love good enough
Iґm ready for the next step in love

Solid white wedding dress
And a long white veil
We put all our fears to rest
And we let this ship set sail
I placed the ring on your finger
Then you looked at me and smiled
The we sealed our love with one last kiss
And I walked you up the aisle

Iґm ready for the next step in love
Girl, youґre all that I can think of
Isnґt my love good enough
Iґm ready for the next step in love

Iґm ready for the next step in love
Girl, youґre all that I can think of
Isnґt my love good enough
Iґm ready for the next step in love

Iґm ready for the next step in love

Well, it looks like heґs doinґ what I didnґt do
Givinґ you love and money too, itґs over
Where do I go from here
Well, I appreciate the nice goodbye
Not even a letter so that I
Could fool myself into thinkinґ that you really cared
I tried to give you everything you wanted
But it looks like I got burried by the flame I started

Money canґt buy the love we had
You canґt do a thing for a love gone bad
But it cost me everything that I ever had
And even money canґt buy back the love we had

Now thereґs nobody left for me to blame
If I could do it over Iґd do it the same
I gave you my very best
You said youґd love me through thick and thin
But when one heart lies the other canґt win for losinґ
Where do I go from here

Money canґt buy the love we had
You canґt do a thing for a love gone bad
But it cost me everything that I ever had
And even money canґt buy back the love we had

Even money canґt buy back the love we had

I love you so much in so many ways
I need you more and more every day
I want to spend my life with you
My love will never end
These are a few of the things
I should have said

Before you gave up on me
And walked out the door
Before you found someone else
You thought loved you more
He probably told you everything
Thatґs running through my head
Now itґs much too late to say
The things I should have said

You told me just as plain as it could be
How you needed to hear some words of love from me
I never thought it mattered much
Now it sure looks like it did
Oh, why didnґt I say the things
I should have said

Before you gave up on me
And walked out the door
Before you found someone else
You thought loved you more
He probably told you everything
Thatґs running through my head
Now itґs much too late to say
The things I should have said

He probably told you everything
Thatґs running through my head
Now itґs much too late to say
The things I should have said
Now Iґll never get the chance to say
The things I should have said

Well it looks like you finally mad the front page
You always did look good in white
And I hope you like the ring of your new name
The one you'll be given tonight
But all of this is news to me
I wondered why you never called
I guess that's the way that it's meant to be
If you're gonna ride you've gatta learn to fall
But...

Where do I fit in the picture
Or do I really fit at all
Or have I become a fixture
On an old forgotten wall

Well it looks like I finally made the front page
You know you always said I would
And things are well here in room 28
God I hope you're doin' good
There's a picture in my wallet that I look at sometimes
It sends chills through my bones
For long lost love or whatever you wanna call it
Whoa, but it left me all alone

Where do I fit in the picture
Or do I really fit at all
Or have I become a fixture
On an old forgotten wall

On an old forgotten wall

Skippinґ rocks, skippinґ rope
Laughinґ at all my best friends jokes
Things I loved when I was a kid
Muddy roads, muddy feet
I didnґt live on no blacktop street
Things have changed a lot but I never did

And I donґt wanna think about tomorrow
I donґt need anything money can buy
I donґt have to beg, steal, or borrow
I just wanna live until I die

Livinґ right, livinґ in this little old town I grew up in
But I still held on to my dreams
Standinґ proud, standinґ tall
Standinґ smack dab in the middle of it all
I donґt worry ґbout things that I canґt change

And I donґt wanna think about tomorrow
I donґt need anything money can buy
I donґt have to beg, steal, or borrow
I just wanna live until I die

And everything around me are
Things I dearly love
And every night I get on my knees and thank
The Lord above

And I donґt wanna think about tomorrow
I donґt need anything money can buy
I donґt have to beg, steal, or borrow
I just wanna live until I die

I donґt have to beg, steal, or borrow
I just wanna live until I die

Maybe itґs the glance from across the room
Or a hint of just the right perfume
Suddenly two strangers become friends
I donґt know how love starts
But I sure know how it ends

A few angry words you just canґt take back
Cold bitter tears as a suitcase is packed
Next thing you know youґre back
To being strangers again
I donґt know how love starts
But I sure know how it ends

Maybe itґs the way she says your name
And no one elseґs touch feels quite the same
Suddenly you find youґre fallinґ in
I donґt know how love starts
But I sure know how it ends

A few angry words you just canґt take back
Cold bitter tears as a suitcase is packed
Love comes and goes
But donґt ask me why or when
I donґt know how love starts
But I sure know how it ends

I donґt know how love starts
But I sure know how it ends
