(Watch ya got)

Quit my job flipped off the boss took my name of the payroll.
(screw you man)
Picked up my cell rang my baby's bell said I'm three miles from home.
I said sugar why don't you put on that sundress I like so much,
Wait out by the road I'm comin' to pick you up.

(whoa)
Throw your suitcase in the back,
(whoa)
Done gassed up the pontiac,
(whoa)
Blastin' out to Johnny Cash, headin' for the highway,
Baby we ain't ever comin' back.


It's four hundred and sixty seven miles to the outskirts of Las Vegas.
What do you say we go get married by a preacher man that looks like Elvis.
(yeah momma)
Sugar don't you worry bout tellin' your momma goodbye,
We'll send her a souvenier postcard from the wild side.

(whoa)
Throw your suitcase in the back,
(whoa)
Done gassed up the pontiac,

Blastin' out to Johnny Cash, headin' for the highway,
Baby we ain't ever comin' back.

(whoa)
Throw your suitcase in the back,

Going through my closet the other day
Found an old yearbook, flipped right to the page
Of that senior trip down there on that Panama strip
We all started yelling when we smelled the beach
Just couldn't wait to try our fake ids
We only had a few days, and a whole lot of memories to make
Oh man we were livin, didn't waste one minute
We talked and drank and danced and said goodbye
We laughed until we cried

This past year my family
Was sittin cross-legged 'round the Christmas tree
Listenin to granddad, we all knew it would probably be his last
He was crackin jokes and we were takin turns
Tellin stories bout fishing or lessons learned
Out on the porch with him we all felt like kids again

Oh man we were livin, sittin' there reminiscin'
Yeah, we sang and talked and traveled back in time
We laughed until we cried

It's like the best days under the sun
Every emotion rolled into one
A little of this, A little of that
Kinda happy, Kinda sad

Just the other night the baby was cryin
So I got out of bed rocked her awhile and I held her tight
And I told her it would be all right
My mind went back to a few years ago
We tried so long, we almost gave up hope
And I remember you comin' in and tellin me the news
Oh man we were livin, goin crazy in the kitchen
We danced and screamed and held each other tight
We laughed until we cried
(although, the cd cover says Oh man were livin I'll never forget it,
We danced and kissed and thanked the Lord that night)

Do you wish it was me?
When the sun slowly chases the moon from the sky
And touches your face as you open your eyes
What are you thinking? Do you like what you see?
Is it all that you dreamed of or do you wish it was me?

Is the life that you chosen free from regret?
Or is what my mind in visions to hard to forget?
Has the glitter all faded? Do you get what you need?
Are you satisfied baby or do you wish it was me?

I know you did what you thought you should do
It was safe and secure so completely thought through
You sacrificed passion and abandoned your dreams
Baby, was it all worth it or do you wish it was me?

Just excuse it closer to the first or the last?
Is the fire still raging or has it burned down to ash?
Do the memories still haunt you? Do they beg and pled?
Are you satisfied baby or do you wish it was me?

Is the life that you chosen free from regrets?
Or is what my mind in visions to hard to forget?
Has the glitter all faded? Do you get what you need?
Are you satisfied baby or do you wish it was me?
Are you satisfied baby? mm...yeah
Or Do you wish it was me? (2x)
Oh, Do you wish it was me?(4x)

Nobody ever thought I'd make it in this town
They all said I should leave my truck packed
And turn right back around
They said I didn't have what it takes
I needed money and a pretty face
But I just look at them and say

I use what I got, take what I get
Give 'til I ain't got nothin' left
Then I give it some more
Keep on climbing up that mountain
Keep trucking along, work up a sweat
Past every no after no after no
'Til I get a yes
I don't worry about what I'm not
I use what I got

I still got big dreams and a strong heart
I got a lot of real good frineds who helped me get this far
I still got a lot of miles to go
It's a winding, uphill road
But I'll get there the only way I know

I use what I got, take what I get
Give 'til I ain't got nothin' left
Then I give it some more
Keep on climbing up that mountain
Keep trucking along, work up a sweat
Past every no after no after no
'Til I get a yes
I don't worry about what I'm not
I use what I got

Keep on rolling along, doing my best
Past every no after no after no
'Til I get a yes
I don't worry about what I'm not
No, no I don't worry about what I'm not
I use what I got

I don't think of you every day and night
I got things to do, yeah I'm doing alright
So, I can't explain why in times like these
I nearly go insane when you're not here with me
Oh I know it's really over and you're never coming back
And there's no way that I can make it right
Still I wonder, oh I wonder, oh baby I can't but wonder
Who's kissing you tonight?

oh it's the jealousy that's hurting me
So why can't I let it be, why can't I just let go?
But the thought of you somewhere with someone else
Doing what we used to do, feeling what we felt
Oh I know it's really over and you're never coming back
And there's no way that I can make it right
Still I wonder, oh I wonder, oh baby I can't but wonder
Who's kissing you tonight?

Oh I know it's really over and you're never coming back
And there's no way that I can make it right
Still I wonder, oh I wonder, oh baby I can't but wonder
Who's kissing you..Who's kissing tonight?
Who's holding you tight? Aw, Who's kissing you tonight?

I toss and turn, I'm losing sleep
Can't seem to make any sense of anything
I keep wandering around in circles, in a daze
Just when I start awakening
I find that something's intoxicating me
'Til I'm tangled up, lost inside a maze

I can't outrun it, just keeps coming
Oh, your love is relentless

Just like the waves against the sand
Over and over and time and time again
Your love keeps on reaching out to me

I can't outrun it, just keeps coming
Oh, your love is relentless
I can't fight it, there's no hiding
Oh, your love is relentless

I'm staring at a hurricane
A hundred miles of driving rain
I just smile, lean into the wind
'Cause I can't outrun it

I can't outrun it, just keeps coming
Oh, your love is relentless
I can't fight it, there's no hiding
Oh, your love is relentless

I toss and turn, I'm losing sleep
Can't seem to make any sense of anything
I keep wandering around in circles, in a daze
Just when I start awakening
I find that something's intoxicating me
'Til I'm tangled up, lost inside a maze

It must have been a mountain standing in our way
Or some small misunderstanding
We talked about too late
Was it the kitchen or the bedroom
Where we let a good thing go
Was it destined dreams, or space we needed?
I don't know.

Baby, lately my memory
Ain't what it used to be at all
It's crazy, but holding you close to me
Seeing you smile at me
Is all that I recall
Cause baby it don't matter how hard i try
I still can't remember why we said goodbye

Maybe time's just playing tricks on me these days
Or maybe these old feelings never went away
Cause all that i remember
Is that I'm still in love with you
And if I'm losing my mind, I hope you are too

Baby, lately my memory
Ain't what it used to be at all
It's crazy, but holding you close to me
Seeing you smile at me
Is all that i recall
Cause baby it don't matter how hard i try
I still can't remember why we said goodbye
Goodbye

It's crazy
But holding you close to me
Seeing you smile at me
Is all that I recall
Cause baby, it don't matter how hard i try
I still can't remember why we said goodbye
Why we said goodbye
Why did we say goodbye?

Looking back at the dead ends and the detours
All I could do was long for the straighter line
Yeah I was lost, I had no way of knowing
Where the twists and turns were going
But sometimes, just gotta let the road wind

Could it have been easier? Yeah.
A little smoother, right? Maybe so.
But lying here with you
Would I change one thing about that road?
No

I believe things happen for a reason
Even though you might not see it at the time
Cause now I know
Every plan that came unraveled
Every crooked path I traveled in my life
Led me here to your side

Could it have been easier? Yeah.
A little smoother, right? Maybe so.
But lying here with you
Would i change one thing about that road?
No

Yeah, I finally found you...

Could it have been easier? Yeah.
A little smoother, right? Maybe so.
But lying here with you
Would i change one thing bout that road?
It could have been easier, yeah
A little smoother right? maybe so
But lying here with you
Would i change one thing bout that road?
No.

It's three A.M. in my new home this motel room
An ash tray full of lucky strikes
A half spent case of warm Bud Lite
Counting regrest...fighting back tears
Retracin' steps...gettin' nowhere

Chorus:
Callin' your name it's a waste of my breath
There's no reachin' you across this cold and empty bed
Stirrin' up ashed, tryin' to find passion
Where there's no love left
It's like tryin to put smoke back in this cigarette

Come sunrise guess I'll check out and ditch this town
Put a few more miles between us
And keep drivin' till I finally mend this broken trust
Hangin' my hopes on highway signs
If I lie here I'll lose my mind

Repeat Chorus

I may never know your reasons why
But someday I'm gonna see the good in your goodbye

Repeat Chorus

Pain it's only a little pain
It'll be gone in a couple of days
Or maybe a life or two
Heart it's only my poor heart
Just that little thing you tore apart
It ain't no headline news

Chorus

But a grown woman should've known better
Than to treat me like some old lipstick
You use up and throw away
Hey, hey, hey

Time I wish I could turn back time
To when you were just a child
And teach you a thing or two
About love it's okay if you wanna give up
But there's a way to leave someone
And you don't have to be so cruel

Chorus

But a grown woman should've known better
Than to treat me like some old dish rag
You use up and throw away
Hey, hey, hey

You're supposed to treat your lover
At least as good as your neighbor
So how could you, a grown woman
Not know no better

I ain't no lipstick you use up and throw away
Cause you're ready for another shade
Hey, hey, hey

You should've known better
Cause you're a grown woman

It’s gonna happen if its gonna happen that’s just the way it is
Oh when love comes along and it don’t take long til it slips through my fingertips
I could make some excuses but darling the truth is I’m just the reckless kind
And I don’t wanna leave you here to pick up the pieces but oh no matter how I try girl

(well) I break everything I touch
Little girl that’s close enough
Seems like every heart I’ve ever loved
I break everything I touch

I can’t look in your eyes and tell you a lie
That I’d love to leave here with you
Oh but darling the fact is that I’m always attracted to everything I shouldn’t do
Well you better go ‘fore I lose control and we throw it all to chance
Girl you’re welcome to stay but all I’ve got to say ‘fore you lay your heart in my hands

(well) I break everything I touch
Little girl that’s close enough
Seems like every heart I’ve ever loved
I break everything I touch

(well) I break everything I touch
Little girl that’s close enough
Seems like every heart I’ve ever loved
I break everything I touch

Have you ever skipped a stone across the water
Have you ever hitched a free ride on a train
Have you ever climbed up on a water tower
To write a name

The truth is, Every man dies
Not every man lives

Have you ever loved someone that you would die for
Have you ever walked too far out on a limb
Have you ever chased a dream too high to reach for
And pulled it in

Truth is Every man dies
But Not every man lives

I wanna paint outside the lines
Run the red lights in my mind
Take everything, One lifetime has to give
I wanna stand inside a fire
Walk blind-folded on a wire
Every man dies
But not every man lives

Have you ever thought about how fast time passes
Ever thought about what you would leave behind
Ever stood up for something you believed in
And drawn a line

Truth is every man dies
But not every man lives

I wanna paint outside the lines
Run the red lights in my mind
Take Everything, One lifetime has to give
I wanna stand inside a fire
Walk blind-folded on a wire

Every man Dies
But Not Every Man Lives

I wanna stand inside a fire
Walk Blind-folded on a wire
Every Man Dies
But Not every Man Lives

Have you ever skipped a stone across the water...
Have you ever Hitched a free ride on a train...
