I Have And Always Will (feat. Amy Grant)
. . .



So you really think you're something
And it looks like you might be
I overheard you need a hero
Babe that sounds a lot like me

Sounds like me (x3)

Girl I don't know why you're laughing
I'm a lot more than I seem
Someone sweet, but strong as Samson
Yeah that sounds a lot like me

Sounds like me (x3)

Truth is don't believe a single word that I have said
I'm just trying to change your mind
Dig a little deeper and I think you'll be amazed
With all the things that you might find
Yeah

So you won't give me your number
LyricsYour name or anything I need
It's my fault for being foolish
Babe that sounds a lot like me

Sounds like me (x3)

Truth is don't believe a single word that I say
I'm just trying to change your mind
Dig a little deeper and I think you'll be amazed
With all the things that you might find
Yeah

Girl I'll do anything you want me to
But walk away, walk away from you
But walk away from you
Come on girl

You can go
But I'm gonna stay
Cause I wanna be here
(x3)


. . .



Honest baby
Can't you see it when it's just me and you?
My face gets blushed
My sentences rush
I don't know what to do

I'm trying lady
Just to act like nothing's going on
It's plain to see that you get to me
And I guess you should

Rumors going around
Baby I guess it's true

Everybody knows it here but you
I love ya girl, but you still ain't got a clue

I've waited baby
For these feelings just to fade away
As the days get longer
They just get stronger
LyricsI don't know what to say

Forgive me baby
See I never really meant to confuse
My chance is gone
All I've done is wrong
I've got nothing left to lose

Rumors going around
Baby I guess it's true

Everybody knows it here but you
(Everybody knows but you)
I love ya girl, but you still ain't got a clue
(Everybody knows but you)
(x2)

I must apologize
My reason's off and other lies
I'm helpless baby when it comes to you

Everybody knows it here but you
(Everybody knows but you)
I love ya girl, but you still ain't got a clue
(Everybody knows but you)

Still ain't got a clue
Got a clue.


. . .



Baby, something is happening here
Though it's not perfectly clear, I think I like it
Baby, my heart and my brain can't agree
On the status between you and me
And where we're standing

And I can't tell you what it is but
It's the best thing that I've found
The butterflies in my stomach
And my feet off the ground
So for now I'm just saying, let's just call this love
Let's just call this love

Maybe, I'm over reacting a bit
Blame it on August and quit
And start all over
Maybe you might just feel the same way
Practicing both of our names
Just to giggle

And I can't tell you what it is
But it's the best thing that I've found
The butterflies in my stomach
And my feet off the ground
So for now I'm saying, this just might be call this love
Let's just call this love
(x2)


. . .



Her face can move a mountain
Her water colored eyes, they shine
Every breathe she takes, she takes a little bit of mine
She's every woman's envy
Her smile it rises like the sun
When you think you've come to the end of her, you've just begun

Someday, Sarah
Someday, you will be my baby
(x2)

Her lips ring loud with glory
Her words they rattle and the hum
There's no part of woman that she has not become
Her laughter peels like thunder
Her anger like the ocean tide
Her love is thick and sweet and it Sahara wide

Someday, Sarah
Someday, you will be my baby.
(x4)

Sixty-five down to Birmingham
The sunset sings like a hymn
Signs say âЂŒGod Bless AmericaâЂќ
As the stars all begin
In my headlights she's heavenly
And I now am undone

In Jackson (x2)

She is waiting there patiently
Streetlights light up her face
And her smile is a symphony
That no chamber could play
And I greet her with my best kiss
But now I'm outdone

In Jackson (x2)

Now I can't be alone
And I can't let her stay
So I making her home, so far away

From Jackson (x3)


. . .



Brother I've been walking farther
Than any man has ever been
I got these scars on my feet
And I've got these bruises on my chin

People they all staring in wonder
Some they even laugh at me
They don't know just what I'm seeking
And if they did we would disagree

Lift up your eyes and don't stand still
People of the world
And people of the will
Move on and on and on down this road.

Don't give up and don't give in
Someday you will be strong again
But there's still miles to go.

Sister let me tell you something
Please don't call this bravery
LyricsIf you understood my reasons
You'd be here to stand by me
Up ahead: a chorus singing
In that city set upon that hill
Brother that's where I'm going
And if you want you can join me still

Lift up your eyes and don't stand still
People of the world
And people of the will
Move on and on and on down this road.

Don't give up and don't give in
Someday you will be strong again
But there's still miles to go.

If you need me
I'll wait for you, oh I'll wait for you
When I am gone, I am gone

Lift up your eyes and don't stand still
People of the world
And people of the will
Move on down this road

Don't give up and don't give in
Someday you will be strong again
But there's still miles to go
(x2)

Jethro plays the trumpet
In Mount Zion Gospel Band
Playing that thing for 15 years, just as hard as he can

Now keep on playing that thing Jethro
Fills my heart with joy

If you don't play that trumpet
Lord, who's gonna make all that noise

Bubba plays the tuba every Sunday at the church
Play that thing for so long babe
Sometimes her lips they hurt

Now keep playing that thing Bubba
Fills my heart with joy

If you don't play that tuba
Lord, who's gonna make all that noise

Raymond is the drummer, sloppy as can be
LyricsMama plays the organ like the 7th symphony
Papa plays the guitar, sometimes play the bass
And you can tell he's happy from the smile upon his face

Then there's little Liza who plays the tambourine
Sometimes play a smile
But mostly plays it mean

Keep playing that thing Liza
Fills my heart with joy

If you don't play that tambourine
Lord, whose gonna make all that noise

If you don't play that trumpet
Lord, whose gonna make all that noise

If you don't play that tuba
Lord, whose gonna make all that noise

C'mon and play that tambourine.


. . .



I should first apologize
Cause I've done nothing but I'll do something
The good in me gets bad sometimes
But I don't mean it
I'll never mean it

Don't give up on me
Baby please believe

Cause I'll be more than a man for you
I'll do anything you ask me to
Heartache or heaven
Baby I will pursue
I'll be more than a man for you

I'll try to name you deity
We all want something
I'm missing something
Just explains the lack in me
Where I need you
And how I need you
Lyrics
So don't give up on me
Baby please believe

Cause I'll be more than a man for you
I'll do anything you ask me to
Heartache or heaven
Baby I will pursue
I'll be more than a man

There's a war inside my heart and mind
Between the hope ahead and the sin behind
All I ask...
Is you believe in me

I should first apologize.

Greyhound, Greyhound
Get my baby back now
In one piece, safe and sound
On Greyhound

My baby bought a ticket, can't wait to see her face
Coming back to Tennessee from a millions miles away
She got on this morning
Get here this afternoon
Pick up the pace, can't get here too soon

Greyhound, Greyhound
Get my baby back now
In one piece, safe and sound
On Greyhound
(x2)

I know her phone is ringing
She can't hear the sound
Drowned out by those big ol wheels eating up the ground
Jackson Mississippi, Memphis Tennessee
LyricsTwo more hours til she's here with me

Greyhound, Greyhound
Get my baby back now
In one piece, safe and sound
On Greyhound
(x2)

Lord, You've been so good to me
Faithful friends, and a loving family
No I don't deserve it Lord
But one thing I pray
On that big ol' bus You'll keep her safe

Greyhound, Greyhound
Get my baby back now
In one piece, safe and sound
On Greyhound
(x2)


I can't believe she's coming back home...
To me


. . .



She hangs up the phone and she
Lays wide awake
Holding onto the heart you, again will break
It's not that she's innocent
And she's not been defiled
Yes she picks up the phone, well
It's you who dialed

And I know she's tell you to stay
But please, stay away
Stay away
Stay away

I know this is heavy
I know I seem mad
But you're the one who laughs and runs while
She's standing sad
We both know where this going from your history
She again will fall in love
You again will leave.

LyricsAnd I know she's telling you to stay
But please, stay away
Stay away
Stay away

She wears her heart on her sleeve
Yeah she's crying her eyes out to me
Heaven or hell she will go through
Depends on you
Depends on you


. . .



Darling, we're both scared
But where love is, fear won't tread
All of these friends here agree
We're right where we should be

Underneath all you're white
My Lady, My Love, My Bride
In your darkest hours
Will I love you still?
I have and I always will

I guess it's because I just do
Following heaven's clues
This is a big mystery
How I found you found me

Underneath all you're white
My Lady, My Love, My Bride
In your darkest hours
Will I love you still?
I have and I always will

And you are changing now
Your part of me somehow
And I will never be alone

In your darkest hours
Will I love you still?
I have and I always will
I have and I always will
