Julie Roberts Album

You know all the right people
You wear all the right clothes
You got a snappy little sports car all your own
You got the cool conversation on your high tech telephone
But you got one little problem, baby
You ain't down home

Chorus:
You ain't down home where the people got their feet on the ground
Down home where there's plenty of love to go 'round
You got the cool conversation on your high tech telephone
But you got one little problem, baby
You ain't down home

You got a brand new jacuzzi
All your credit cards are gold
There ain't a high class place in town where you ain't known
You make it all look impressive, yeah you put on quite a show
But you got one little problem, baby
You ain't down home

Chorus:
You ain't down home where the people got their feet on the ground
Down home where there's plenty of love to go 'round
You make it all look impressive, yeah you put on quite a show
But you got one little problem, baby
You ain't down home
You make it all look impressive, yeah when you're showin' all your dough
But you got one little problem, baby
You ain't down home
There's just one little problem, baby

Mile marker 203
The gas gauge leanin on the edge of E
And I'll be damned if the rain ain't pourin down
Theres somethin smokin underneath the hood
Its a bangin and a clangin and it cant be good
And its another 50 miles to the nearest town

Everything I owns in the back in a heafty bag
I'm out of cigarettes and I'm down to my last drag

Chorus:
I'd sure hate to break down here
Nothin up ahead or in the rearview mirror
Out in the middle of nowhere knowin
I'm in trouble if these wheels stop rollin
So God help me keep me movin somehow
Dont let me start wishin I was with him now
I made it this far without cryin a single tear
And I'd sure hate to break down here

Under 50 thousand miles ago
Before the bad blood and busted radio
You said I was all you'd ever need
But love is blind and little did I know
That you were just another dead end road
Paved with pretty lies and broken dreams
Baby leavin you is easier than being gone
I dont know what I'll do if one more thing goes wrong

Chorus:
I'd sure hate to break down here
Nothin up ahead or in the rearview mirror
Out in the middle of nowhere knowin
I'm in trouble if these wheels stop rollin
So God help me keep me movin somehow
Dont let me start wishin I was with him now
I made it this far without cryin a single tear
And I'd sure hate to break down here oh no

I'd sure hate to break down here
Nothin up ahead or in the rearview mirror
Out in the middle of nowhere knowin
I'm in trouble if these wheels stop rollin
So God help me keep me movin somehow
Dont let me start wishin I was with him now
I made it this far without cryin a single tear
And I'd sure hate to break down
Its too late to turn around
I'd sure hate to break down here

All alone in a café
I watch the world rushin' by
They're all dreamin' 'bout dollars and thinkin' 'bout
Mountains that they have to climb
A woman checks her reflection
A man straightens his tie
They wear troubled expressions and meanwhile
I just sit here and smile
You can chase all the sliver
If you need riches to hold
You can run after rainbows
'Cause I just found my pot of gold
I just met him last weekend
We've been out a few times
And it may seem too soon, but when he kissed me I knew that
He was my purpose in life
You can chase all the silver
'Cause I've found somethin' to hold
You can run after rainbows
'Cause I just found my pot of gold
You can chase all the silver
'Cause I've just found my soul
You can run after rainbows
'Cause I just found my pot
I just found my pot
I just found my pot of gold
All alone in a café
I watch the world rushin' by
They're all dreamin' 'bout dollars and meanwhile

Unloose this hold you've got on me
U lock this heart that can't get free
Unlive the night you kissed and hugged me
Undream the dreams that we both shared
Unfeel the feelin' that you cared
Before you leave me, please unlove me
Unlove me
Unmake all the memories I can't forget
Unlove me
Let my go back to the way I was before we met
Back to the day when I was strong
When it wasn't sad to be alone
When I was happy-go-lucky
And I didn't know how good it felt
To hold you and feel my heart melt
Show me a little mercy and unlove me
Unlove me
Untie all the strings between you heart and mine
Unlove me
But do it real slow, so I don't have to lose you all at one time
Before you pack your bags and leave
One thing I wish you'd do for me
Take a little time to just unlove me
Unlove me
Unmake all the memories I can't forget
Unlove me
Let my go back to the way I was before we met
Unlose this hold you've got on me
Unlock this heart that can't get free
Before you leave me, please unlove me

Honey, for our date tonight
I’ve got the perfect place to go
I was thinkin’ 'bout a candlelight seafood dinner
At this little place on the Gulf of Mexico
Don’t look at me like I’m crazy darlin’
Just hear me out
'Cause we can be there by tomorrow
If we pack up and hit the road right now
We’ll spend the night in Birmingham
At your brother’s house on the way down
Then we’ll find us a motel room with and ocean view
Boy, take my hand
Let’s get wild and free
We sure could stand
A little just you and me
Don’t need no reason other than
Just 'cause we can
We’ll go for a day or two and just hang out on the beach
It might turn into a week or so, or who knows
Honey, we may never leave
I bet you could get a gig sellin’ hot dogs on the boardwalk
And I could make a buck or two playin’ Buffett tunes
Boy, take my hand
Let’s get wild and free
We sure could stand
A little just you and me
Don’t need no reason other than
Just 'cause we can
So, baby, grab your flip flops, a little Coppertone
And a change of clothes
There ain’t no tellin’ where this might lead
Boy take my hand
Let’s get wild and free
We sure could stand
A little you and me
Don’t need no reason other than
No, we don’t need no reason other than
Ah, just 'cause we can
Just 'cause we can

Slept in my makeup
Didn't get my teeth brushed
I crashed on the couch
And now my mouth tastes like yesterday's news
Well hello Jim Beam
Oh the places you've seen
If only you could talk
You'd tell me why he walked out on me and you

Oh the things lovers do when it's over
Oh the things lovers do when it's done
Find a cool bottle or a warm shoulder
Wake up older
And try to move on

I drove around last night
Thinkin' 'bout our last fight
I cruised by your house
And all the lights were out and you were gone
So I found me a stranger
With his comforting danger
But I thought about you
The whole time we were gettin' it on

Oh the things lovers do when it's over
Oh the things lovers do when it's done
Find a cool bottle or a warm shoulder
Wake up older
And try to move on

Find a cool bottle or a warm shoulder
Wake up older
Wake up older

Slept in my makeup
Didn't get my teeth brushed
I crashed on the couch and now my mouth tastes like

I'll admit it got to me
Hearing your voice on the machine
It took all I had to just let you talk
And not pick up where we left off
Every night since your goodbye
I hit my knees and closed my eyes
And I pray that you'd come back
Too many tears washed out that bridge
You wanna cross, but baby, it's too late for that
Last night would've been a different story
But the morning sun must've done something for me
'Cause I bet I'd gone the other way
If you'd called yesterday
If you'd called yesterday
This victory runs bitter sweet
Through the heart and soul of me
But I sip my coffee and watch the sun rise
Makin' its way to a bluer sky
Every night since your goodbye
I hit my knees and closed my eyes
And I prey that you'd come back
Too many tears washed out that bridge
You wanna cross, but baby, it's too late for that
Last night would've been a different story
But the morning sun must've done something for me
'Cause I bet I'd gone the other way
If you'd called yesterday
Last night would've been a different story
But the morning sun must've done something for me
'Cause I bet I'd gone the other way
If you'd called yesterday
If you'd called yesterday

Momma is cryin' the kitchen
Even the dog can feel the chill
She lays her head down on the table
Next to a stack of unpaid bills
Oh, Daddy puts his arms around her
He says "Girl, you're stockings starting to run."
I know it ain't never been easy,
But ain't it always been fun, fun, fun.

~*Chorus*~
We fell in love
And there's no way out
We fell in love
and there's no way out
Sometimes you just gotta laugh about it,
We fell in love
And there's no way out

Daddy's cussin in the backyard
He's got the engine hangin' from a tree
He's kickin the tires on the T-Bird
And says "T, you ain't gonna get the best of me"
Oh, Momma comes dancin out the backdoor
Snappin a dish towel in her hand
She said "Don't be waistin all the good energy,
Don't you know how I love a sweaty man."
Oh Man, Oh man, oh man

(Repeat Chorus)

Fell in love
and there's no way out
Fell in love
and there's no way out
Fell in love
and there's no way out

I been tryin'
For a long long time
But no matter what I do
When I turn to leave
My heart stays behind
'Cause I can't get over you

I keep moving on
Runnin' hard and fast
But everywhere that I run to
I'm just standing still
Living in my past
'Cause I can't get over you

If memories were like the leaves that fall
When would I carry them from my mind?
The seasons pass, but they never change
A broken heart can't keep time

While I watch those colors
Fading in the sun
The color of my love stays true
I've been lettin' go now
I'm not holdin' on
I just can't get over you

His eyes are blue, just like the ocean
His heart is a river free
Now and then he gets the notion
And he finds his way to me

CHORUS
His love's like
Rain on a tin roof
Sweet song of the summertime storm
And oh the way that it moves you
It's a melody of passion raging on
And then it's gone

He tells me he'll be back to see me
Everytime he has to go
And I keep wondering just when that'll be
'Cause with him you never know

REPEAT CHORUS

And just like a thirsty field,
I can't complain or bitch
'Cause I'm thankful for every single drop I can get

REPEAT CHORUS

And then it's gone....

I found a book that my mama kept
Filled with secrets she hid
And in a dusty old attic, one mornin' I read
About a woman I never met
Who had dreams like mine
With every page I turned, the words came alive
Wish I could roll out of town like a run-away train
I'll do as I dare, let them call me insane
I'll never sit on the sidelines of life, I'll dance every dance
If I just had the chance
A tear fell on that faded page
'Cause this was somebody else
Not the mama I knew who never thought of herself
But the times, they were different then
And lines just didn't get crossed
And these words that she wrote, they somehow got lost
Wish I could roll out of town like a run-away train
I'll do as I dare, let them call me insane
I'll never sit on the sidelines of life, I'll dance every dance
If I just had the chance
The chance that she never had
Is now the gift that is mine
And our here on this road, I'm makin' up for lost time
Yeah, I am my mother's child
As I roll out of town like a run-away train
I'll do as I dare, let them call me insane
I'll never sit on the sidelines of life, I'll dance every dance
While I still have the chance
I'll never sit on the sidelines of life, I'll dance every dance
