Little Big Town Album

There's a cold feelin'
Runnin' up and down my spine
It seems to say we're just wasting time
It's like a bad movie
One I wish I'd never seen
The plot gets old
Do you know what I mean?

Don't try to tell me it ain't what it is

I'm good
(I'm good at seein' the signs)
I'm good
(I'm good at readin' between the lines)
It's no use
(No use in hangin' on)
Cause you're good to go
(Yeah)
And, baby, I'm good as gone

On a lost highway
I don't know how I got to where I am
Take the next Splitsville exit ramp
It's like a cheap vacation
When we thought we planned very well
Now we've checked out of
The lovely love hotel

Don't try to tell me it ain't what it is

I'm good
(I'm good at seein' the signs)
I'm good
(I'm good at readin' between the lines)
No use in hangin' on
Cause you're good to go
And, baby, I'm good as gone

Don't try to tell me it ain't what it is

I'm good
(I'm good at seein' the signs)
I'm good
(I'm good at readin' between the lines)
No use in hangin' on
Cause you're good to go
And, baby, I'm good as gone

Baby, I'm gone
I'm gone

(Karen Fairchild/Kimberly Roads/Phillip Sweet/Jimi Westbrook/Wayne Kirkpatrick)

I feel no shame
I'm proud of where I came from
I was born and raised in the boondocks
One thing I know
No matter where I go
I keep my heart and soul in the boondocks

And I can feel that
Muddy water running through my veins
And I can hear that
Lullaby of a midnight train
It sings to me and
It sounds familiar

I feel no shame
I'm proud of where I came from
I was born and raised in the boondocks
One thing I know
No matter where I go
I keep my heart and soul in the boondocks

And I can taste that
Honeysuckle and it's still so sweet
When it grows wild
On the banks down an old camp creek
Yeah, and it calls to me like a warm wind blowing

I feel no shame
I'm proud of where I came from
I was born and raised in the boondocks
One thing I know
No matter where I go
I keep my heart and soul in the boondocks

It's where I learned about living
It's where I learned about love
It's where I learned about working hard
And having a little was just enough

It's where I learned about Jesus
And knowing where I stand
You can take it or leave it
This is me
This is who I am

Give me a tin roof
A front porch and a
Gravel road
And that's home to me
It feels like home to me

I feel no shame
I'm proud of where I came from
I was born and raised in the boondocks
One thing I know
No matter where I go
I keep my heart and soul in the boondocks

I keep my heart and soul in the boondocks

You get a line
I'll get a pole
We'll go fishing in the
Crawfish hole
Five-card poker on a Saturday night
Church on Sunday morning

You get a line
I'll get a pole
We'll go fishing in the
Crawfish hole
(Down in the boondocks)
Five-card poker on a Saturday night
Church on Sunday morning

You get a line
I'll get a pole
We'll go fishing in the
Crawfish hole
(Down in the boondocks)
Five-card poker on a Saturday night
Church on Sunday morning
(Say a little prayer for me)

(Repeat 4x)

(Karen Fairchild/Kimberly Roads/Phillip Sweet/Jimi Westbrook/Wayne Kirkpatrick)

What goes around comes around
Feel it breathin' down heavy on you
You made that bed you're layin' on
Deeds that you have done
Now you can't undo

You've got bones in your closet
You've got ghosts in your town
Ain't no doubt, dear,
They're gonna come out
They're waiting for the sun to go down
You can't hide from your demons
Feel them all lurking around
You're runnin' scared cause
You know they're out there
They're waiting for the sun to go down

It's a long and hard row to hoe
When seeds that you sow
Grow by the wicked moon
Be sure your sins will find you out
The past will hunt you down
And return to tell on you

You've got bones in your closet
You've got ghosts in your town
Ain't no doubt, dear,
They're gonna come out
They're waiting for the sun to go down
You can't hide from your demons
Feel them all lurking around
You're runnin' scared cause
You know they're out there
They're waiting for the sun to go down

Oh, it stands to reason
Every dog will have his day
Your day is leaving
Better hold on tight
Here comes the night

You've got bones in your closet
You've got ghosts in your town
Ain't no doubt, dear,
They're gonna come out
They're waiting for the sun to go down
(Waitin' for the sun to go down)
You can't hide from your demons
Feel them all lurking around
(They've got ya runnin')
You're runnin' scared cause
You know they're out there
They're waiting for the sun to go down

They're waiting for the sun to go down
Down
What goes around comes around
Feel it breathin' down heavy on you

You've got someone here
Wants to make it all right
Someone to love you more
Than I have right here
You've gotta bring it on and I'll hold you tight
A hand to lead you on through the night right here
I know your heart can get
All tangled up inside
But don't you keep it to yourself

When your long day is over
And you can barely drag your feet
When the weight of the world
Is on your shoulders
I know what you need
Bring it on home to me

You know I know you
Like the back of my hand
You know I'm gonna do
All that I can right here
Gonna lie with you
Till you fall asleep
When the morning comes
I'm still gonna be right here
Yes, I am
(Ooooooooooooo)
So take your worries and
Just drop them at the door
Baby, leave it all behind

When your long day is over
And you can barely drag your feet
When the weight of the world
Is on your shoulders
I know what you need
Bring it on home to me

Baby, let me be your safe harbor
Don't let the water come
And carry you away

When your long day is over
And you can barely drag your feet
When the weight of the world
Is on your shoulders
I know what you need
Bring it on home to me

Oh, bring it on home
Oh, bring it on home to me
Home to me
Oh, bring it on, bring it on home
to me

You've got someone here wants
To make it all right
Someone who loves you more
Than life right here

You plowed over me like a tractor
You used me up and put me out to pasture
I'm left to eat your dust
Guess you're thinkin' that we must be done
You said you got my back every minute
Well you do
You've got it there to put your dagger in it
And knowing what i need
Still you stood and watched me bleed

[Chorus:]
Wounded, I'm wounded
I'm battered and bruised
Wounded, I'm wounded
All tore up inside over you
Wonderin' why you do me like you do

I feel betrayed and so manipulated
I call a spade a spade, you call me jaded
Well, what do you expect
You give me no respect

[Chorus]

And this monkey on my back
Has stopped me in my tracks

[Chorus]

Don't you wanna dive on in, yeah the water feels right
Dancin' on the edge of the love you're a beautiful sight
So why're you still standin' there in the half moonlight
Come on, baby, give me a little more you
Your battin' those baby blue eyes and, honey i swear
The way you got me needing you girl, it just ain't fair
You've given me a little bit yeah, but don't stop there
Come on, baby, give me a little more you
Come on, baby, give me a little more you

[Chorus:]
I'm here fallin' for you
My hearts callin' for you
I know I never can get enough
Don't hold back one bit of your love
Strong and steady for you
I'm all ready
Come on, baby, give me a little more you
Come on, baby, give me a little more you

You're teasin' me with a touch and the whole world shakes
Keep holdin' that river back and the levee may break
There's only so much that this ol' boy can take
Come on, baby, give me a little more you
Come on, baby, give me a little more you

Hear the train in the distance
Such a lonely sound it makes
When it's gone there is silence
You can hear the sound of my heart break
See these arms, now they're empty
'Cause they used to hold on to you
I said I'd never let go
But somehow you slipped on through
Now I know that's how love goes
When love goes away

[Chorus:]
I'm gonna cry some
Then I'm gonna lay here and die some
All because I know there ain't no one else
Baby, if i can't live with you
Guess I'll have to
Live with the lonesome

There's a prayer that I'm prayin'
There's a dream that I always will dream
And the hope keeps me waiting
For the day when you come back to me
It's a curse and a blessing
To find love above all the rest
Now I'd rather have nothing
Than to settle for less
Now I know that's how love goes
When love goes away

[Chorus]

What did I do, tell me what did I say
That kicked up dirt and brought out this side of you baby
It's one of those moods, yeah it's the one of those days
What kind of dark snuck up and took a bite of you baby
The longer it goes well, the shorter your fuse
Maybe you'd know if you walked in my shoes
Damned if I don't and I'm damned if I do
Cold as the concrete
Tough as a backstreet
Like a frat boy at hell week
Babe, you got a mean streak
Fire in the hole and a hole in my heart
You're on a roll and I'm takin cover now baby
Where does it end and where do I start
To soften the sting one way or another now baby
Be good to me honey I'm on your side
I'm gonna bend gonna let a lot slide
But hey what's the deal with your Jekyll and Hyde?
Rough as a dry creek
Sharp as a hawk's beak
Coming fast as a stampede
Babe you got a mean streak
Hard as an oak tree
Mas as a queen bee
Hot as Majave
Yeah it burns like a dry heat
Tight as a kite string
Bad as a black sheep
Sure as a heart beat
Babe you got a mean streak
There in your shadows, save room for me

[Chorus:]
Lookin' for to make some sense out of nothin'
Lookin' for the hunger to hang on
Lookin'for to know if you're really worth it
Lookin' for a reason not to be gone

Your signs are fadin', baby
I can't read 'em anymore
Can't you see where I'm standin', baby
I got one foot out the door
You better show me somethin' fast
'Cause my patience for you ain't gonna last

[Chorus]

If ther ain't nothin' there
Well, that's my time your wastin'
If you say you're givin' all you've got
Well, that's my chain your yankin'
Love is on a slippery slope
Barely hangin' on at the end of my rope

[Chorus]

So tell me what you're gonna do keep me around
And baby, whatever it is you better do it now, now, now

[Chorus]

I don't know who I am
Staring at a million broken pieces here
I don't know where I stand
While I'm still, the world goes round so free so cavalier
Aimlessly I wander, like a drifter
on a narrow winding road
I've got plenty of direction but I don't know where to go

[Chorus:]
I'm so lost without you
I'm so lost without you
Baby, I'm so lost without you
That I can't find myself

No it don't seem right this canyon of lonely lying in our bed
Lord how I've cried a waterfall of tears until my eyes turn red
Ever since you left me it's been like a bullet through my heart
And I know I should move on, but I don't know where to start

[Chorus]

(Karen Fairchild/Kimberly Roads/Phillip Sweet/Jimi Westbrook/Wayne Kirkpatrick)

As for myself I'm just as well

Chorus:
Blue skies and amber sunshine
As far as I can see
It's just me and my sweet baby
And that's just fine with me

Lay me down in the tall green grass by still and let the world go by
Baby let our minds wander like the river does
Or find a place we can hide away where all we do is take our time
Making life and loving sweeter than it ever was
Take the whirlwind that life has been
And Trade it in for the Freedom of

Chorus 2X

(Karen Fairchild/Jimi Westbrook/Kimberly Roads/Phillip Sweet/Jason Deere)

How can I bear to wake up and you're not there
What will I do when I turn and reach for you
I lay my tears on the windowsill
I'll only cry 'til I get over you
But how long will it take me
Won't you save me

Stay just a little bit longer
'Til I'm a little bit stronger to take all this and
Stay just a little more time
'Til I can find a way
Please stay

Will I ever smile again when losing my best friend
To wonder where,wonder how,wonder what you're doing
One more night just before you break me
Hold me safely

Stay just a little bit longer
'Til I'm a little bit stronger to take all this and
Stay just a little more time
'Til I can find a way
Please stay

So I'll be a big girl and close my eyes
As you walk away don't you say goodbye
God save me,please won't you

Stay just a little bit longer
'Til I'm a little bit stronger to take all this and
Stay just a little more time
'Til I can find a way
Please stay
