Clint Black Album

Looking for the feelings That used to tell me something's wrong
Like all the doubts When love sent shivers down my spine
But all I'm feeling Is pure and simply we belong
And what's come over me
Are chills of another kind

One emotion wrapped around me
One emotion I can hold on to
Wherever it's going is exactly where I want to be
One emotion's got a hold of you and me

There's nothing left Of the useless things I used to feel
Only love now As everything else just fades away
It's all around us
Though you might not see it
It's just as real as the wild horses
You would have to have to drag me away

Repeat Chorus

(Clint Black/Hayden Nicholas)

Nothin' on earth that'll get me hummin'
Like a heat wave comin' and I'll come runnin'
With her makin' that tan in the broad daylight
And every night is a Saturday night
And everything's right with the summer comin'
I'm the first one standin' in line
For my day in the sun I've been workin'
'Til the sun don't shine.

Takin' off my hat leave it to the boys
Get that old work monkey down off my back
All I want's a little peace and noise
Hit the cruise control
Get me back on track
Let my old Ford treat me like a Cadillac.

Nothin' on Earth that'll get me hummin'
Like a heat wave comin' and I'll come runnin'
With her makin' that tan in the broad daylight
And every night is a Saturday night
And everything's right with the summer comin'
I'm the first one standin' in line
For my day in the sun I've been workin'
'Til the sun don't shine.

--- Instrumental ---

When the day gets cookin' gonna grab my toys
And it really doesn't matter which wave we're on
Get to turnin' up them good old boys
Crankin' into the night, by the break of dawn
All the towns are red and I still see blonde.

Nothin' on Earth that'll get me hummin'
Like a heat wave comin' and I'll come runnin'
With her makin' that tan in the broad daylight
And every night is a Saturday night.
And everything's right with the summer comin'
I'm the first one standin' in line
For my day in the sun I've been workin'
'Til the sun don't shine.

For my day in the sun I've been workin'
'Til the sun don't shine.

For my day in the sun I've been workin'
'Til the sun don't shine.

Summer's comin' to shine.
Summer's comin' to shine.
Summer's comin'...

I guess you're glad to see I'm finally leaving
I know things for you will change now for the good
But it's all that I can do to pack my suitcase
And walk away from you the way I should
And I can't seem to find the voice of reason
Everything seems upside down and right side wrong
While a part of me is here and won't like leaving
The rest of me the best of me is gone
And I'm sure no one will wonder where I've gone to
But if anyone should ask from time to time
Tell them that you finally drove me crazy

And I'm somewhere untanglin' my mind

Well tell 'em I won't be riding I'll be walking
'Cause I don't think a crazy man should drive
Anyway the car belongs to you now
Along with any part of me that's still alive
But there's really not much left you could hold on to
And if you did it wouldn't last here anyway
It would head to where the rest of me rolled on to
So even if I wanted to I couldn't stay

Repeat Chorus

And I'm somewhere untanglin' my mind

Bottle of scotch whiskey not very smooth
Like snake bite cure from the medicine man
Not bad poison if there's something to soothe
It's a whole other world in the palm of your hand
Out of this world and out of your mind
Just like it don't matter what you're leaving behind
Trying to change your life you change your point of view
But no matter what you do it's the same old you

Wherever you go there you are
You can run from yourself but you won't get far
You can dive to the bottom of your medicine jar
But wherever you go there you are

Bottle of scotch whiskey whatever you find
When you're out on a wire it's a matter of time
Changing every moment when you're taking the fall
There's everything to gain when you're losing it all
Feel your head spinning with your feet on the ground
You climb the wrong ladder and it's keeping you down
Think you're gettin' higher but you're still layin' low
You don't want to be anyone you know

Repeat Chorus

Once you've been bitten it's like crossing a line
It's a part of the plan all that's on your mind
Think that it'll help you find somebody to be
But the man in the mirror is all you'll see

Repeat Chorus

(Clint Black/Hayden Nichols)

There's something talkin' in the wind
Whispering through the trees
That feeling in my bones again
Just puts me right at ease.

It takes me back to all the times
I've been here before
But crossroads, old familiar signs
Tell me there's something more.

Can't explain, there's something strange about the early fall
It's comfort leaving me without a care
I remain but everything around me hears the call
And tonight, I feel a change in the air.

--- Instrumental ---

The leaves are turning, soon they'll fall
There's a norther' blowing in
The memories flowin', I recall
Those changes in the wind.

But I can never try to understand
There's nothing you can hold in your hand

Can't explain, there's something strange about the early fall
It's comfort leaving me without a care
I remain but everything around me hears the call
And tonight I feel a change in the air.

Yes, I'll surely feel a change in the air...

We're tied to our memories They won't let us stray
We're not gonna lose ones We made yesterday
We look to our future And we make all our plans
As if we control what is out of our hands

(Chorus)

The world keeps on turning
I'm learning to see
Right where I am is where I have to be
You can't count the pages
All ages hear the call
No matter how hard we try

Life gets away from us all
We start getting older The moment we live
Look over your shoulder
There's hindsight to give
Come good days and bad days
The sun's gonna rise
So why look beyond what's in front of your eyes

Repeat Chorus

No matter how hard we try
Life gets away from us all

In a simple life dreams die hard
You never let, let 'em go
All the while you play your cards
And you may never know
Why it's always lady luck
On someone elses' palm they read
Your holding my two empty hands
Is really all I need.

Chorus:
I can get by if it all fell through
Right down to the bottom of my list
I can get by lookin' back on life
Find that I've too many things I've missed
I can get by without doing
All the crazy things some people do
But I wouldn't wanna try
Even barely gettin' by without you.

Many things I've come to need
That I could do without
And many more I"ve done with out
I could come to need
The one thing that I'd fight to keep
Until my days are through
Is when I lay me down to sleep
I'm lyin' next to you.

Chorus:
I can get by if it all fell through
Right down to the bottom of my list
I can get by lookin' back on life
Find that I've too many things I've missed
I can get by without doing
All the crazy things some people do
But I wouldn't wanna try
Even barely gettin' by without you.

Out on the highway flyin' by me
Headlights and tail lights are all I could see
Down at the junction another flies by
They come and go in the blink of an eye.

Down at the strip you see 'em waitin' in line
Lay down the rubber let their motors unwind
No matter whether you can drive it that good
If you ain't got it revvin' under the hood.

Chorus:
Hey, hey, hot rod
Burnin' up the back streets tearin' up town
Hey, hey, hot rod
A hound for glory and the glory bound.

Lit up and cruisin' on the good night tail
A rockin' motivator and the radio wails
Ahead of the heat movin' fast and cool
That mean machine is breakin' all the rules.

Chorus:
Hey, hey, hot rod
Burnin' up the back streets tearin' up town
Hey, hey, hot rod
A hound for glory and the glory bound.

--- Instrumental ---

Out on the highway flyin' by me
The blinding headlights are all I could see
The killer curves are gonna drive me to far
And I ain't even started up my car.

Chorus:
Hey, hey, hot rod
Burnin' up the back streets tearin' up town
Hey, hey, hot rod
A hound for glory and the glory bound

Chorus:
Hey, hey, hot rod
Burnin' up the back streets tearin' up town
Hey, hey, hot rod
A hound for glory and the glory bound

You got the hottest set of wheels around
A hound for glory and the glory bound...

You walked by, just like you don't know me
You walked by, maybe just to show me
That you're walkin' by
Passin' up your last chance with me
And I wish I hadn't been here to see.

You don't cry, not for this heart breaker
You won't cry, you've found a new love maker
And he's makin' you forget the love
You used to have for me
And that's one thing I wish I hadn' lived to see.

Chorus:
When you see me, turn your head away at the sight
I can't turn it back, cryin' out in broad daylight
You've passed my way a hundred times
Now it's too plain to see
You locked me out and threw away the key.

--- Instrumental ---

You've passed my way a hundred times
Now it's too plain to see
You locked me out and threw away the key.

You walked by
And I don't know why...

(Clint Black/Michael McDonald)

Almost a lifetime of going nowhere
Through all of the motions it took to be me
No one to love me but I didn't care
Had walls all around me and I thought I was free

Chorus:
'Til, you made me see you're some kind of light
Can't help but see such a beautiful sight
You opened my eyes and before I could blink
You had all of my vies and I'm startin' to think
That you made me feel all there is to it
You made me feel like you knew I could do it
Put a heart where there's nothing' you made me real
And that's just how you made me feel

I must have been lonely though I couldn't have known
Love was the only thing I was not looking for
Wandering aimless in a world of my own
Pleasure and painless 'til you opened the door

Chorus:
'Til, you made me see you're some kind of light
Can't help but see such a beautiful sight
You opened my eyes and before I could blink
You had all of my vies and I'm startin' to think
That you made me feel that's all there is to it
You made me feel like you knew I could do it
Put a heart where there's nothing' and you made me real
And that's just how you made me feel

Just how you made me feel...
