"Some Songs" (2014)

Here Comes Crazy lyrics - Terri Clark

Been a good girl been following rules
Playin’ it cool never having more than one or two
Right between the lines showing up on time
Keeping it nice, always doin’ what I’m supposed to do

Come on now
That ain’t me
Let me show you how it used to be

Here comes crazy
All dressed up with an empty cup
So baby
Fill it up to the top with a couple of shots
Something strong to get me goin’
It won’t be long till I start shown’
The wild side that I’ve been hiding lately
Here comes crazy

There ain’t no shame in keeping it tame
But it feels insane to try and keep a good time down
Fun is trouble and trouble is fun
And I won’t be done until I get just one more round

When I go
I’m gonna do it right
You better stand back tonight

Here comes crazy
All dressed up with an empty cup
So baby
Fill it up to the top with a couple of shots
Something strong to get me goin’
It won’t be long till I start shown’
The wild side that I’ve been hiding lately
Here comes crazy

Here comes crazy
All dressed up with an empty cup
So baby
Fill it up to the top with a couple of shots
Something strong to get me goin’
It won’t be long till I start shown’
The wild side that I’ve been hiding lately
Here comes crazy
Here comes crazy

Some Songs lyrics - Terri Clark

Some songs need air
Hundred miles an hour
And they're stayin' a backroad nowhere to be
And all day to get there
Top down breeze through your hair
Turn it up loud
Yeah
Some songs need air

Some songs need a bar
Sawdust on the floor
A couple buckets of beer
Whiskey drunk
Throwing dollars in a tip jar
Karaoke singers singing
Drops of Jupiter
At a quarter to four
Some songs need a bar

Yeah
Some songs need a highway
Some songs need a church
Some songs need a tear
And some just need to heal the hurt
Three and half minutes of magic
It's so good then it's gone
Melodies and memories gone
The good ones leave you hanging on
Hanging on

Some songs need a beach
Margarita nights
Christmas lights strung up on the palm trees
A drink in the hand of each
My sisters and my brothers
Just a lovin' each other
From a New York Yankee
To my sweet Georgia peach

Some songs need a girl
Little sweet slow dancing
Little bit of wine
Buddy this is your chance
Go and rock her world
Make some white picket fence plans
Put a ring on her hand
Yeah
Some songs need a girl

Yeah
Some songs need a highway
Some songs need a church
Some songs need a tear
And some just need to heal the hurt
Three and half minutes of magic
It's so good then it's gone
Melodies and memories gone
The good ones leave you hanging on
Hanging on

Some songs need a highway
Some songs need a church
Some songs need a tear
And some just need to heal the hurt
Three and half minutes of magic
It's so good then it's gone
Melodies and memories gone
The good ones leave you hanging on

Yeah
Some songs need a highway
Some songs need a church
Some songs need a tear
And some just need to heal the hurt
Three and half minutes of magic
It's so good then it's gone
Melodies and memories gone
The good ones leave you hanging on
Hanging on

Some songs need air
Top down breeze through your hair
Turn it up loud
Yeah
Some songs need air

Longer lyrics - Terri Clark

The wind is blowing in the right direction
The sky is clearing up
Too many false starts to even mention
I guess that's part of chasing love
There's no such thing as time wasted
It all works out somehow
Sometimes I understand, sometimes I hate that
I didn't have you till now

I don't think that I could love you
Love you any better
Love you any deeper
Any stronger
I know this is just the start
Start of our forever
If only I had found you sooner
I coulda loved you longer
Coulda loved you longer

What we have here ain't going nowhere
Still got alot of time
But a little more history with a few more memories
Now what would that look like

I don't think that I could love you
Love you any better
Love you any deeper
Any stronger
I know this is just the start
Start of our forever
If only I had found you sooner
I coulda loved you longer
Coulda loved you longer

Coulda had that smile to lighten up my darker nights
Coulda held you in my arms a few more times

I don't think that I could love you
Love you any better
Love you any deeper
Any stronger
I know this is just the start
Start of our forever
If only I had found you sooner
I coulda loved you longer
Coulda loved you longer

Coulda loved you longer
Coulda loved you longer

Don't Start lyrics - Terri Clark

Woah you got a way and you got a smile
And I could see myself tangled up for awhile with you
Love is a trouble that's the trouble with love
And I need to know what you're thinkin' of is true
So before you make that move

Baby don't start
What you can't finish with your heart
I'm no good with the goodbye part
Yeah and if you wanna go, gonna go, baby don't
Baby don't stay
If you can't stay forever someday
Cause I ain't got the kind of love you throw away
And if all you gonna be is gone
Don't baby don't start

Woah I got a runaway heart sometimes
And you got the moon and the stars on your side
It ain't fair
Your touch is a bullet your kiss is a gun
And it sure might hurt but it sure is fun
I don't care
Cause if it ain't gonna go nowhere

Baby don't start
What you can't finish with your heart
I'm no good with the goodbye part
Yeah and if you wanna go, gonna go, baby don't
Baby don't stay
If you can't stay forever someday
Cause I ain't got the kind of love you throw away
And if all you gonna be is gone
Don't baby don't start

Woah ooh I don't wanna complicate it
Ooh but my heart's more than taken
But if I give it to you please don't break it

Baby don't start
What you can't finish with your heart
I'm no good with the goodbye part
And if you wanna go, gonna go, baby don't
Baby don't stay
If you can't stay forever someday
Cause I ain't got the kind of love you throw away
And if all you gonna be is gone
Don't baby don't start

Baby don't start ooh

I Cheated On You lyrics - Terri Clark

His cologne and my perfume
Sweat and cigarette smoke
When you caught that scent in your bedroom
It just about made you choke
You threw a lamp then you threw a chair
Put your fist through a sheetrock wall
A few choice words flying through the air
As you followed me down the hall
Saying why why baby why
Go on and cry cry baby cry

I coulda chose wine but I chose whiskey
I coulda had one but I got tipsy
Why bring a knife when you got a gun
And I ain't sorry for what I've done
When I found out that you were cheating
I coulda got mad but I got even
I did what the ticked off told me to
I took it downtown and I cheated on you

So have fun trying to figure out
The passcode on my phone
And where I go when I go out
And you're sitting here all alone
Stare at the clock till half past two
And toss and turn till four
Walk a mile in my shoes
While I walk a mile in yours

I coulda chose wine but I chose whiskey
I coulda had one but I got tipsy
Why bring a knife when you got a gun
And I ain't sorry for what I've done
When I found out that you were cheating
I coulda got mad but I got even
I did what the ticked off told me to
I took it downtown and I cheated on you

It didn't mean a thing
You can take my word
I was just drunk
That's easier said than heard
Ain't it baby

I coulda chose wine but I chose whiskey
I coulda had one but I got tipsy
Why bring a knife when you got a gun
And I ain't sorry for what I've done
When I found out that you were cheating
I coulda got mad but I got even
I did what the ticked off told me to
I took it downtown and I cheated on you

Yeah I cheated on you
I took it downtown and I cheated on you

Feelin' Pretty Good Right Now lyrics - Terri Clark

Don't need another drink baby I'm just right
I don't need another anything, anything
I've got everything, everything right here
I don't want to go anywhere else tonight
Yeah baby I'm loving this loving this
I could take a little more it

Cause I'm feelin' pretty good right now
Chillin' right here with you baby
Watchin' that sun go down
Buzzin' on a slow kind of crazy, crazy
Pour me a little bit more of you
Now that's what I'm talkin' about
You got me feelin' pretty good
Feelin' pretty damn good right now

We can let that candle burn on down
We don't need it any how any how
The moon is out and looking good on
What you got going just keep it going on
Cause it's workin' on me workin' on me
Better than the whiskey

Yeah I'm feelin' pretty good right now
Chillin' right here with you baby
Watchin' that sun go down
Buzzin' on a slow kind of crazy, crazy
Pour me a little bit more of you
Now that's what I'm talkin' about
You got me feelin' pretty good
Feelin' pretty damn good right now

Friends are calling trying to get us to go down town
As good as that sounds I'm gonna have to turn'em down

Cause I'm feelin' pretty good right now
Chillin' right here with you baby
Watchin' that sun go down
Buzzin' on a slow kind of crazy, crazy
Yeah pour me a little bit more of you
Now that's what I'm talkin' about
You got me feelin' pretty good
Feelin' pretty damn good right now

Feelin' pretty good right now
Feelin' pretty good right now

Just Add Water lyrics - Terri Clark

Got the music, case of cans
Gotta cold one in my hand
Got that good sun gettin' hotter
Got a pole, got a bobber

Just add water
That's all you need
A lake, a pool, a pond or a creek
Whatever
Puts a smile on your face
Find your happy place
And just add water, just add water

Got some friends, gotta view
Gotta weekend with nothin' to do
A tailgate's great, but it can't float
Yeah everything's better in a boat

Just add water
That's all you need
A lake, a pool, a pond or a creek
Whatever
Puts a smile on your face
Find your happy place
And just add water, just add water

God looked down on earth in the beginning
And he said, it's almost perfect
There's only one thing missing

Just add water
That's all you need
A lake, a pool, a pond or a creek
Whatever
Puts a smile on your face
Find your happy place
And just add water

That's all you need
A lake, a pool, a pond or a creek
Whatever
Puts a smile on your face
Find your happy place
And just add water, just add water, add water

Wheels Down lyrics - Terri Clark

I never had a good sense of direction
North is south and east is west to me
When your head is in the clouds at a thousand miles an hour
It really messes with your visibility

Wheels down
Feels so good to finally have feet on the ground
Instead of round and round
This just in time arrival is the key to my survival
And it’s lookin’ like my heart is homeward bound
Wheels down, wheels down

Got a reason now for emptying a suitcase
Got a place I’d rather stay than leave behind
Lookin’ forward to the landing so that I can see you standing
With a smile, and your arms open wide

Wheels down
Feels so good to finally have feet on the ground
Instead of round and round
This just in time arrival is the key to my survival
And it’s lookin’ like my heart is homeward bound
Wheels down, wheels down, wheels down

When your head is in the clouds at a thousand miles an hour
It really messes with your visibility
And now you’re all I see

Wheels down
Feels so good to finally have feet on the ground
Instead of round and round
This just in time arrival is the key to my survival
And it’s lookin’ like my heart is homeward bound
Wheels down, wheels down, wheels down, oh wheels down

Bad Car lyrics - Terri Clark

I know it’s a bad car
I know it’s a piece of junk
I know the best tire on it,
Is in the trunk

Just when you start to pass
It always starts to shake
Cause over 55 it’s a bitch to drive
On the interstate

It’s broke down more than it runs
But I’m broke down knowing that it’s done

It witnessed all those tears nobody ever saw me cry
When I broke the law through Arkansas to tell my dad goodbye
It didn’t get there pretty, but it got me there that day
So it’s a little hard to see it roll away

I know it’s a bad car
I know that the windshield’s cracked
And when it isn’t leaking oil
It’s leaking gas

It always needs a jump
It always needs Freon
Yea there’s death and taxes,
And the check engine light is coming on

It heard the first bad word my first born ever said
Runnin late, when I hit breaks at a yellow turning red
There’s still Kool-Aid on the console that reminds me of that day
So I’m a little sad to see it roll away, roll away

It knows more of my secrets than I’ll ever tell
So to keep from crying
As they tow it away I tell myself
I know it’s a bad car
I know it’s a piece of junk
I know the best tire on it,
Is in the trunk

Better With My Boots On lyrics - Terri Clark

I go barefoot when the sun's hot
And I'm drinkin' beer in a shady spot
Like rosemary beach last july, just you and me
That week flew by
And when I want to knock you dead
I wear some heels every now and then
Like new years eve when I kicked em off
We were champagne drunk when the ball dropped
But I'm stone cold sober here tonight
And I can see lovin' me ain't what's on your mind

If I gotta be strong, walk tall
Hold my head high while the chips falls
Give me a minute baby, just hold on
If I gotta pack two years in the back of my truck
Kick up that kinda dust
If we're gonna do this dance and sing that goodbye song
I'm better with my boots on
Oh I'm better with my boots on

Right now they feel like an old friend
When you're breakin' down, you need broke in
They kept me steady when the road was long
Kept the beat to a million songs
They make me feel tougher than I am
The best hundred bucks I ever spent

If I gotta be strong, walk tall
Hold my head high while the chips falls
Give me a minute baby let me put em on
If I gotta pack two years in the back of my truck
Kick up that kinda dust
If we're gonna do this dance and sing that goodbye song
Oh I'm better with my boots on

You don't want me to love you anymore
So all that's left is gettin' through that door

If I gotta be strong, walk tall
Hold my head high while the chips falls
Give me a minute baby, just hold on
If I gotta pack two years in the back of my truck
Kick up that kinda dust
If we're gonna do this dance and sing that goodbye song
I'm better with my boots on
I'm better with my boots on

"Classic" (2013)

It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels lyrics - Terri Clark

This white circle on my fingers shows I’m free
I’m not sure if that’s the way I want to be
Loving you might be a habit I can’t break
What a difference a small white circle make?

As I sit here tonight, the jukebox playing
The tune about the wild side of love
And as I listened to the words you are saying
It brings memories when I put a trusted wife

It wasn’t God who made honky tonk angels
As you said in the words of your song
Too many times, married men think they’re still single
That has caused many young good girls to go wrong

It’s a shame that all the plain is all us women
It’s not true that only you may feel the same
From the start most stubborn heart can simmer broken
Was because there always was a man to blaim

It wasn’t God who made honky tonk angels
As you said in the words of your song
Too many times, married men think they’re still single
That has caused many young good girls to go wrong

Love Is A Rose lyrics - Terri Clark

Love is a rose but you’d better not pick it
It only grows when it’s on the vine
Hand full of thorns, and you know you've missed it
Lose your love when you say the word mine

I wanna see what’s never been seen
I wanna live that age on dree
Come on boy, let’s go together
We can take the best right then
Take a bus right now

Love is a rose but you’d better not pick it
It only grows when it’s on the vine
Hand full of thorns, and you know you've missed it
Lose your love when you say the word mine

I wanna go to an old hoedown
Long ago in a western town
Pick me up cuz my feet are dragging
Give me a lift and I’ll hay your wagon

Love is a rose but you’d better not pick it
It only grows when it’s on the vine
Hand full of thorns, and you know you've missed it
Lose your love when you say the word mine

Love is a rose (you’d better not pick it)
Love is a rose (on the vine)
Love is a rose (you know you've missed it)
Lose your love when you say the word mine
Lose your love when you say the word mine

How Blue lyrics - Terri Clark (with Reba McEntire)

How blue can you make me?
How long til I heal?
How can I go on loving you when you’re gone?
How blue can I feel?

Oh honey, why did you leave me?
Ain’t you got a heart left in your chest?
And I swear to you that I’m dying
Cause my mind won’t let my body rest

How blue can you make me?
How long til I heal?
How can I go on loving you when you’re gone?
How blue can I feel?

If I sink and ignore I’ll go under
And if I’d cry anymore, well I’d go blind
No, there ain’t no relief for this messing you grief
How long can you torture my mind?

How blue can you make me?
How long til I heal?
How can I go on loving you when you’re gone?
How blue can I feel?

How can I go on loving you when you’re gone?
How blue can I feel?

Don't Come Home A' Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind) lyrics - Terri Clark

You thought I’d be waiting up when you came home last night
You’d been out with all the boys and ended up half-tied
But liquor and love, it just don’t mix, leave a bottle or me behind

And don’t come home a drinkin’ with lovin’ on your mind

No, don’t come home a drinkin’ with lovin’ on your mind
Just stay up and all the town can see what you confined
Cause if you want that kind of love
Well, you don’t need none of mine

And don’t come home a drinkin’ with lovin’ on your mind

You never take me anywhere because you’re always gone
Ready or not I’ve been awake and cried here all night long
Now you come in a kissin’ on me, it happens every time

So don’t come home a drinkin’ with lovin’ on your mind

No, don’t come home a drinkin’ with lovin’ on your mind
Just stay up and all the town can see what you confined
Cause if you want that kind of love
Well, you don’t need none of mine

And don’t come home a drinkin’ with lovin’ on your mind
No, don’t come home a drinkin’ with lovin’ on your mind

Gentle On My Mind lyrics - Terri Clark

It’s knowing that your door is always open and your path is free to walk
But that makes me tend to leave my sleep and bag rolled up and stashed behind your couch
And it’s knowing I’m not shackled by forget words and vows and the ink stains that I’ve dried upon some time
That keeps you in the back rows by the rivers of my memory
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind

It’s not clinging to the Brocks and I’ll be playing on their columns now, that binds me
Or something that somebody said because they thought we fit together walking

It’s just knowing that the world will not be cursing or forgiving when I’ll walk along some railroad track and find
That you’re moving on the back rows by the rivers of my memory
And for hours you just stumbled on my mind

Now that we feel, time to close the lines and the junkyards and the highways come between us
And some other woman’s crying to her mother cause she turned and I was gone

I still might run in silence, tears of joy might sting my face
And the summer sunlight burn me til I’m loved
But not to bear, I cannot see you walking on the back roads by the rivers flowing gentle on my mind

I dipped my cup of soup back from the gerglin crack when Cal runned to some train yard
Might better off, went cold cal and a dirty hair pulled lone cross my face
Threw cup cans round the tin can, I’ll pretend I’d hold you to my breast and fine
Like you’re waving from the back roads by the rivers of my memory
Ever smiling and you’re gentle on my mind

Golden Ring lyrics - Terri Clark (with Dierks Bentley)

In a pawn shop in Chicago
On a sunny summer day
A couple gazes at the wedding rings that are on display

She smiles and nods her head
As he says “honey, that’s for you”
It’s not much but it’s the best that I can do

Golden ring (golden ring)
With one tiny little stone
Waiting there (waiting there)
For someone to take it home
By himself (by himself)
It’s just a cold metallic thing
Only love can make a golden wedding ring

In a little wedding chapel
Later on that afternoon
An old nup right piano plays that old familiar tune

Tears roll down the cheeks
And happy thoughts run through her head
As he whispers low with this ring I be wed

Golden ring (golden ring)
With one tiny little stone
Shiny ring (shiny ring)
Now at last it’s found a home
By himself (by himself)
It’s just a cold metallic thing
Only love can make a golden wedding ring

In a small two room apartment
As they fight their final round
He says you won’t admit it but I know you’re leaving town

She said one thing’s for certain
I don’t love you anymore
And throws down the ring as she walks ou the door

Golden ring (golden ring)
With one tiny little stone
Cast aside (cast aside)
Like a love that’s dead and gone
By himself (by himself)
It’s just a cold metallic thing
Only love can make a golden wedding ring

In a pawn shop in Chicago
On a sunny summer day
A couple gazes at the wedding rings that are on display

Two More Bottles Of Wine lyrics - Terri Clark

We came out west together with a common desire
The fever we had might’ve set the west coast on fire
Two months later got trouble in mind
Oh my baby moved up and let me behind

But it’s alright coz it’s midnight
And I got two more bottles of wine

The way he left sure turned my head around
Seems like off a night he just up and put me down
Ain’t coming ready but I’m meaning today
I’ve been working and I’m too tired anyway

But it’s alright coz it’s midnight
And I got two more bottles of wine

I’m 1600 miles from the people I know
I’ve been doin all I can but opportunities sure come slow
Well I’ve been in the sun all day
But I’ve been sweeping out a warehouse in west LA

But it’s alright coz it’s midnight
And I got two more bottles of wine

I’m 1600 miles from the people I know
I’ve been doin all I can but opportunities sure come slow
Well I’ve been in the sun all day
But I’ve been sweeping out a warehouse in west LA

But it’s alright coz it’s midnight
And I got two more bottles of wine

Yes, it’s alright coz it’s midnight
And I got two more bottles of wine

Yes, it’s alright coz it’s midnight
And I got two more bottles of wine

Leavin' On Your Mind lyrics - Terri Clark (with Jann Arden)

If you've got leavin' on your mind
Tell me now, get it over
Hurt me now, get it over
If you've got leavin' on your mind.

If there's a new love in your heart
Tell me now, get it over
Hurt me now, get it over
If there's a new love in your heart

Don't leave me here in a world
Filled with dreams that might have been
Hurt me now, get it over
I may learn to love again

If there's a new love in your heart
Tell me now, get it over
Hurt me now, get it over
If there's a new love in your heart

Don't leave me here in a world
Filled with dreams that might have been
Hurt me now or get it over
I may learn to love again

If there's a new love in your heart
Tell me now, get it over
Hurt me now, get it over
If there's a new love in your heart

Hurt me now, get it over
If there's a new love in your heart

Swinging Doors lyrics - Terri Clark

This old smoke filled bar is something I'm not used to
But I gave up my home to see you satisfied
And I just called to let you know where I'll be living
It's not much but I feel welcome here inside.

And I've got swinging doors, a jukebox and a bar stool
My new home has a flashing neon sign
Stop by and see me any time you want to
Cause I'm always here at home till closing time.

I've got everything I need to drive me crazy
I've got everything it takes to lose my mind
And in here, the atmosphere's, just right for heartache
And thanks to you I'm always here till closing time.

And I've got swinging doors, a jukebox and a bar stool
My new home has a flashing neon sign
Stop by and see me any time you want to
Cause I'm always here at home till closing time
Yeah, I'm always here at home till closing time.

Delta Dawn lyrics - Terri Clark (with Tanya Tucker)

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky

She's forty-one and her daddy still calls her "baby"
All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy
'Cause she walks around town with a suitcase in her hand
Looking for a mysterious dark-haired man

In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on
Then a man of a low degree stood by her side
And he promised her he'd take her for his bride

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky

I'm Movin' On lyrics - Terri Clark (with Dean Brody)

That big eight-wheeler rollin' down the track
Means your true-lovin' baby ain't comin' back
And I'm movin' on, I'll soon be gone
You were flyin' too high, for my little old sky
And I'm movin' on

That big loud whistle as it blew and blew
Said hello to the southland, we're comin' to you
And we're movin' on, oh hear my song
You had the laugh on me, so I've set you free
And I'm movin' on

Mister fireman won't you please listen to me
'Cause I got a pretty mama in Tennessee
Keep me movin' on, keep rollin' on
So shovel the coal, let this rattler roll
And keep movin' me on

Mister Engineer, take that throttle in hand
This rattler's the fastest in the southern land
Keep me movin' on, keep rollin' on
You gonna ease my mind, put me there on time
And keep rollin' on

I've told you baby, from time to time
But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind
Now I'm movin' on, I'm rollin' on
You've broken your vow, and it's all over now
So I'm movin' on

You've switched your engine now I ain't got time
For a triflin' woman on my main line
Cause I'm movin on, you done your daddy wrong
I warned you twice, now you can settle the price
'Cause I'm movin on

But someday baby when you've had your play
You're gonna want your daddy but your daddy will say
Keep movin' on, you stayed away too long honey
I'm through with you, too bad you're blue
So keep movin' on

"Roots And Wings" (2011)

Wrecking Ball lyrics - Terri Clark

Ten tons desire ten tons of passion
Pickin’ up steam 2 souls crashin’
No wasted wishes, thrown away kisses
I’ve got a job to do

Rubble and dust, smoke and flames
A glorious mess, wild and untamed
When I take aim, and set my heart on you

I’m a wreckin’ ball
A woman on a mission, pure demolition
Bustin’ right through that wall
No sense in runnin’, you won’t see it comin’
But it feels so good when you fall
I’m wreckin’ ball

It’s a sweet kind of damage, a good kind of broken
Knockin’ that locked up door wide open
You’ll be smiling knowing I’ll swing back through

I’m a wreckin’ ball
A woman on a mission, pure demolition
Bustin’ right through that wall
No sense in runnin’, you won’t see it comin’
But it feels so good when you fall
I’m wreckin’ ball

No holding me back, no slowing me down
When I want what I want and I want it right now
On a cast iron chain, headed your way
You’ll know I ain’t messin’ around

Cuz I’m a wreckin’ ball
A woman on a mission, pure demolition
Bustin’ right through that wall
No sense in runnin’, you won’t see it comin’

I’m a wreckin’ ball
But it feels so good when you fall
I’m wreckin’ ball
Runnin’ on passion, comin’ right at ya
And it feels so good when you fall
I’m a wreckin’ ball
A wreckin’ ball

Breakin' Up Thing lyrics - Terri Clark

Coffee’s still warm in the cup
On your side of the bed
My head’s still ringing from everything that you said
I believed that you were mine
Fell hard for every line
That was way too smooth it can’t be your first time

You got that breakin’ up thing down
Know how to leave without a sound
I could learn a thing or two watching you
Got that breakin’ up thing down

You’re phone keeps hummin’, I’m wonderin’ who it could be
Text messages comin’, none of them from me
You make misery an art
No respect for the human heart
Take a bow you sure know how to play the part

You got that breakin’ up thing down
Know how to leave without a sound
I could learn a thing or two watching you
Got that breakin’ up thing down

You’re gonna know what lonely means one day
When someone you love just walks away

You got that breakin’ up thing down
Know how to leave without a sound
I could learn a thing or two watching you
Got that breakin’ up thing down

I’m just a diamond in your crown
I could learn a thing or two watching you
Got that breakin’ up thing down

I could learn a thing or two, and honey you
Got that breakin’ up thing down

The One lyrics - Terri Clark

I hear the whispers as I walk by
They always start with bless her heart
She’s still single and that’s such an empty life
She must not be lookin’ all that hard
They’ve all got their stories of why I’m still alone
But the only truth that matters is my own

I want fireworks to paint the sky
A kiss to burn my lips
I wanna feel the touch that pounds my heart down to my fingertips
And twenty years from now it still won’t be as good as it will get
It might be a lot to ask for but I won’t take any less
Just because I won’t settle don’t mean I won’t settle down
I don’t need a love that I can live with
I want the one I can’t live without

Momma’s always getting on me
She says I don’t give anyone a chance
But if I can’t feel the music when somebody holds me
How am I supposed to dance
There might be a few more lonely nights
But I’m not keeping score
It’s worth the wait for what I’m waitin’ for

Fireworks to paint the sky
A kiss to burn my lips
I wanna feel the touch that pounds my heart down to my fingertips
And twenty years from now it still won’t be as good as it will get
It might be a lot to ask for but I won’t take any less
Just because I won’t settle don’t mean I won’t settle down
I don’t need a love that I can live with
I want the one I can’t live without

And just because I won’t settle don’t mean I won’t settle down
I don’t need a love that I can live with
I want the one I can’t live without
No I can’t live without

Northern Girl lyrics - Terri Clark

Grew up drivin' on black ice
Spinnin' in circles under Northern lights
Laughter steamin', small town dreamin'
Digging tunnels in the deep snow
Sheltered from the shiver of a ten below
And I'm right at home

I'm a Northern girl, wild and free
I've got four strong winds to carry me
I've been East to West and all around the world
But I'll always be a Northern girl

Little cottage on a big lake
Sunshine would be a shame to waste
Warm days won't last - come and go fast
Bonfire in the moonlight
People I've known all of my life
That's where I belong

I'm a Northern girl, wild and free
I've got four strong winds to carry me
I've been East to West and all around the world
But I'll always be a Northern girl

Where I come from
What I'm made of
Where I wanna be
You can take me out of there
But you can't take it out of me

Northern girl, wild and free
I've got four strong winds to carry me
I've been East to West and all around the world
But I'll always be a Northern girl

I'm a Northern girl
True North, strong and free
Carry me
I'm a Northern girl

Beautiful And Broken lyrics - Terri Clark

Digging in, I see you spinning south
Not again, it’s such a long way out
When I think of all the time we might have spent
Having better days I wonder where it all went wrong

Like a bird in a gilded cage
Paralyzed by the love and rage
Every time I stick my head back in the sand
You show up holding your heart in your hand, again

And it’s been a test of will and mind
But I’d do it all again
We’ve been through the best and worst of times
And I still call you friend
Even when you’re beautiful and broken

Just believe, everything is fine
Drink it down, like a good red wine
Let the peace of knowing nothing’s gonna change
Bring you comfort, let it guide you through the fear and pain

And it’s been a test of will and mind
But I’d do it all again
We’ve been through the best and worst of times
And I still call you friend
Even when you’re beautiful and broken

Broken…
Broken…

Lonesome's Last Call lyrics - Terri Clark

He drinks while he stares
At the smoke in the air
For him, time seems to crawl
He’s got no one at home
So he sits there alone
Waiting on lonesome’s last call

She came in by chance
Longing to dance
She once was the belle of the ball
But flowers will fade
She’s showing touches of gray
And she’s waiting on lonesome’s last call

While the fiddles are playing
The dance floor is swaying
To the beat of an old fashioned waltz
Their watching the hands of the clock on the wall
And waiting on lonesome’s last call

Soon the lights will go on
But the empty they’ve known
Won’t be felt in this moment at all
There was love in the air
And it found their hearts there
Waiting on lonesome’s last call

While the fiddles are playing
The dance floor is swaying
To the beat of an old fashioned waltz
Their watching the hands of the clock on the wall
And waiting on lonesome’s last call
They’re waiting on lonesome’s last call

The Good Was Great lyrics - Terri Clark

Running my fingers
Slowly through your locks of ebony
Hearing you sing “Blackbird” in the shower
Just a little bit off key
Ain’t that just like me?
And my selective memory

To forget about the hurt, the tears, and the lies
Forget slammin’ doors, and a hundred goodbyes
I miss you like crazy, make no mistake
The bad was bad baby, but the good was great

We’d break up just to make up
Then we’d do it all again
But the moments that we made love
I never wanted it to end
Leave the bitter, keep the sweet
That’s the part I’ll, take with me

And forget about the hurt, the tears, and the lies
Forget slammin’ doors, and a hundred goodbyes
I miss you like crazy, make no mistake
The bad was bad baby, but the good was great

We came so close, a real almost
And that’s the honest truth
All that said, I don’t regret
One day of loving you…

I miss you like crazy, make no mistake
I miss you like crazy, what can I say
The bad was bad baby, but the good was great
The good was great

Smile lyrics - Terri Clark (feat. Alison Krauss)

She packed my lunch up in a box for my first day of school
I said I wish you could go with me today
She said you’re gonna be alright just like I promised you
Just remember any time you feel afraid

I want you to smile
And know you’re not alone
Dry those little eyes
I’ll be here when you come home
I’m always in your heart
Even when we are apart
It’s only for a while
So I want you to smile

She packed my suitcase in the trunk when I turned 18
And drove me all the way to Tennessee
She said I know you’re gonna make it, I’ve got faith in you
And while you’re out there chasin’ down your dreams

I want you to smile
And know you’re not alone
Dry those little eyes
I’ll be there when you come home
I’m always in your heart
Even when we are apart
It’s only for a while
So I want you to smile

She fought for three long years and didn’t wanna leave
No matter what they told her, she still believed
So she used the tools God gave her
But in the end they couldn’t save her
As I sat there by her bed watchin’ her sleep
She must have heard a tear roll down my cheek
That’s when she said to me

I want you to smile
And know you’re not alone
Dry those little eyes
I’ll be there when you come home
I’m always in your heart
Even when we are apart
It’s only for a while
So I want you to smile

We're Here For A Good Time lyrics - Terri Clark

A very good friend of mine
Told me something the other day
I’d like to pass it on to you,
‘Cause I believe what he said to be true

He said:
We’re here for a good time
Not a long time (Not a long time)
So have a good time
The sun can’t shine everyday

And the sun is shinin’,
In this rainy city,
And the sun is shinin’,
Ooh, isn’t a pity?

That every year
Has its share of tears,
Every now and then
It’s gotta rain

We’re here for a good time
Not a long time
So have a good time
The sun can’t shine everyday

And the sun is shinin’,
In this rainy city,
And the sun is shinin’,
Ooh, isn’t a pity?

That every year
Has its share of tears,
Every now and then
It’s gotta rain

We’re here for a good time
Not a long time
So have a good time
The sun can’t shine everyday

We’re here for a good time (here for a good time)
Not a long time (not a long time)
So have a good time (time)
The sun can’t shine everyday (sun can’t shine everyday)
So have a good time
The sun can’t shine everyday

Flowers In Snow lyrics - Terri Clark

How many heartaches
Until the bough breaks
Only so much I can bend
So tired of crying
Hell bent on trying
Over and over again

Another season fading
Nothing new to show
We squander our love
And still wonder why it won’t grow
We’re planting flowers in snow

The ground is still frozen
North wind keeps blowing
Praying for gray to turn blue
Winter seems longer
Hurt’s even stronger
The farther we drift from the truth

Another season fading
Nothing new to show
We squander our love
And still wonder why it won’t grow
We’re planting flowers in snow

You can’t be someone you’re not
Something I wished and forgot
No chance of changing
Doing the same thing
Here goes another last shot

Another season fading
Nothing new to show
We squander our love
And still wonder why it won’t grow
We’re planting flowers in snow

We’re planting flowers in snow

"The Long Way Home" (2009)

Gypsy Boots lyrics - Terri Clark

Baby don't blame me if I can't get lovin' you right
Baby don't blame me if I can't get lovin' you right
I ain't cut out for aprons or stayin home at night

Well my momma was a hippie and my daddy was a rollin' stone
Yeah, my momma was a hippie and my daddy was a rollin' stone
It don't matter what you call me honey, my middle name is Gone

I was born in gypsy boots with a guitar on my back
Rebel soul and attitude just like Johnny Cash
This is just another town and I'm only passin' through
And I get around
In my gypsy boots

Don't wanna rock no babies, but baby I'll rock you
Don't wanna rock no babies, but baby I'll rock you
And I'll take off everything but my gypsy boots

I'm a country song, the kind that makes you cry
Yeah, I'm a country song, the kind that makes you cry
I'll drink up all your whiskey & leave you high and dry

Cuz I was born in gypsy boots with a guitar on my back
Rebel soul and attitude just like Johnny Cash
This is just another town and I'm only passin' through

And I get around
In my gypsy boots

And I get around
In my gypsy boots

If You Want Fire lyrics - Terri Clark

I got this dream I’ve been dreamin’
The perfect picture of love
Sparks and fireworks flyin’, almost too hot to touch
Then everything I wanted and then some
Suddenly walked in the room
I said I needed different but maybe I spoke to soon

It’s every kind of crazy I could ever imagine
A battle ragin between my head & my heart
But if you gotta have it all that madness and passion
Then you’ll learn
Ooo, you’ll learn
If you want fire
It better be worth the burn

We’re either laughin or cryin
Flyin high or runnin away
But in between the thunder & lightning
There’s always another day
Another day

It’s every kind of crazy I could ever imagine
A battle ragin ‘tween my head & my heart
But if you gotta have it all that madness and passion
Then you’ll learn
Ooo, you’ll learn
If you want fire
It better be worth the burn

Sometimes it feels all or nothin
Sometimes it’s nothin at all
But in between those moments it’s magic
That softens the fall

It’s every kind of crazy I could ever imagine
A battle ragin between my head & my heart
But if you gotta have it all that madness and passion
Then you’ll learn
Ooo, you’ll learn
If you want fire
It better be worth the burn

If you want fire
It better be worth the burn

A Million Ways To Run lyrics - Terri Clark

In the basement of the church.
I took the last chair in the room
Embarrassed and ashamed,
but that all began to change,
when she stood up and spoke her truth.

She said I came here years ago, when I lost my sanity,
I hit an all time-low,
but then I found serenity.
I took shelter hiding from the pain, in any place
to make it go away.

[CHORUS]
In the arms of a stranger
keeping company with danger,
or staring' down the barrel of a gun
At the bottom of a bottle,
getting numb with every swallow,
it's easy, when it's what you've always done,
With a Million Ways to Run

I was the first one out the door
But her words echoed in my head
I took the long way home
but no longer felt alone
Cause I'd lived everything she said
I thought about lost moments of my past
And then I knew, there was no going back.....

To the arms of a stranger
Keeping company with danger
or staring' down the barrel of a gun
The bottom of a bottle,
Getting numb with every swallow
Cause it's easy, when it's what you've always done
With a Million Ways to Run

[BRIDGE]
There's a freedom I have found
In staying on the ground
Long enough, to chase those demons down....

And I thank God I know I'm Not the only one,
with A Million ways to run.....

What Happens In Vegas (Follows You Home) lyrics - Terri Clark

I never really liked this place
hard to tell the nights from days
lost inside a smoky maze, with no last call...

You walked up , I turned around,
You were drinking something watered down
Maybe I don't hate this town, after all

[CHORUS]
Could sin city save us
could Lady luck wave us
on through the velvet rope
The whispers in my ear, said everything stays here
But we know something they don't
Sometimes What Happens in Vegas....
Follows you home
Follows you home

It's just a state of mind
and crossing that Nevada line
I thought I'd never find
my wildest dream,
I almost had to live without,
now neon lights are washing out
any shadow of a doubt, and I believe

[CHORUS]
Sin City saved us
Lady Luck waved us
On through the velvet rope
The whispers in my ear said
everything stays here
but we know something they don't
Sometimes What Happens in Vegas....
Follows you home
Follows you home

[BRIDGE]
Among the false promises, glitter and phoniness,
somehow we've found the real thing....

[REPEAT 2nd CHORUS]

Merry Go Round lyrics - Terri Clark

I've been dreamin' & drivin' so fast for so long
Fallin' & climbin', fallin' & carryin' on
Hell bent on stayin' one step ahead
So caught up in the game, I can't catch my breath
Livin' too bright to soak up the sun
Missin' the miles for the races I've run

But I'm slowly slowin' me down
Knowin' this world will go round
It'll keep goin' round even when I stop spinnin'
I'm figurin' out it ain't all about winnin'
You ride like the wind
Smile like a child
Land with both feet on the ground
The trick is to know when to let go of the merry go round

When the ride leaves you dizzy and life's such a blur
There's no difference between where you are & where you were
It's movin' too fast, and God knows it will
Sometimes you need some time sittin' still

And I'm slowly slowin' me down
Knowin' this world will go round
It'll keep goin' round even when I stop spinnin'
I'm figurin' out it ain't all about winnin'
You ride like the wind
Smile like a child
Land with both feet on the ground
The trick is to know when to let go of the merry go round

You ride like the wind
Smile like a child
Land with both feet on the ground
The trick is to know when to let go
The trick is to know when to let go of the merry go round
Oh this merry go round

The One You Love lyrics - Terri Clark (feat. Vince Gill)

He says it's none of my damn business, how much he drinks
And he doesn't have a problem, no mater what the whole town thinks
At his baby's birthday party, there was whiskey on his breath
Everybody wants to save him, but he's not ready yet

You wanna scream, you wanna cry
You want someone to tell you why
All the hope that's in your heart is not enough
You hit your knees, you shake your fists
Oh, it's the deepest wound there is
When you can't help the one you love

Her sister reads the bible, her father sits an' snores
They're with her every minute, 'cause they may not have many more
She was dancin' in New Orleans, only seven weeks ago
Life may go on without her, but not the life we know

You wanna scream, you wanna cry
You want someone to tell you why
All the hope that's in your heart is not enough
You hit your knees, you shake your fists
Oh, it's the deepest wound there is
When you can't help the one you love

When someone's slippin' away
Right before your eyes
How useless we are
Is a painful surprise

You wanna scream, you wanna cry
You want someone to tell you why
All the hope that's in your heart is not enough
You hit your knees, you shake your fists
Oh, it's the deepest wound there is
When you can't help the one you love

When you can't help the one you love

Poor Girls Dream lyrics - Terri Clark

She don't dream of spring in Paris
Jettin off to Singapore
She just needs a quarter tank
To get her to the grocery store
She don't buy filet mignon
She just wants some extra pork in her beans

It may not sound like much
But that's the stuff that makes up a poor girls dream

She's tired of haulin baskets
Down to the laundry mat
Dealin with the weirdos
And the stress of all of that
She'd rather put her dollar somewhere other than a washin machine

Well it may not sound like much
But that's the stuff that makes up a poor girls dream
If you've got a million you want two
If you ain't got nothin any little thing will do

She works on the clock
Punchin in & out for years
She'd like to take that double shift
And shift it down a gear
Go home and light a candle
Paint her toes a different color and just breathe

Well it may not sound like much
But that's the stuff that makes up a poor girls dream
If you've got a million you want two
If you ain't got nothin any little thing will do

A little piece of mind
Just a taste of what could be
It may not sound like much
But that's the stuff that makes up poor girls dream

Yeah it may not sound like much
But that's the stuff that makes up poor girls dream
A poor girls dream

If I Could Be You lyrics - Terri Clark

The first time we met I swore I hated you
When all you had to do was walk into the room
You got everyone's attention just by bein you
Something I could never do
But always wanted to
You were beautiful, you had it all
Never bought yourself a drink
And sittin there just watchin you
I couldn't help but think

If I could be you
I'd take your place
For an hour, for a day
I could do anything I wanted to
If I could have your perfect life
In a second I'd trade mine
There's nothin in this world I wouldn't do
If I could be you

Standin in line after too much wine in the ladies room
We started talkin bout the things men do
Yeah we'd been in each others shoes
Now it's ten years later and we've shared everything
Tears, clothes & dreams
I helped you pick your wedding ring
I remember when I held your hand the day the baby came
How that whole first year you'd call in tears
So worn out you would say

If I could be you
I'd take your place
For an hour for a day
I'd do the kind of things that I used to
What I wouldn't give sometimes
For a second that's just mine
On days like this there's nothin I wouldn't do
If I could be you

Well time flies by and how things change
Sittin in this room today
There's not much either one of us can say
The doctors have done all they can
I'm holding your hand again
Wishin I could take it all away

If I could be you
I'd take your place
For an hour for a day
And I'd gladly bear the pain you're goin through
To give you back your perfect life
In a second I'd trade mine
There's nothin in this world I wouldn't do
Girl there's nothin in this world I wouldn't do
If I could be you

Tough With Me lyrics - Terri Clark

Your neck is burned your body's hurtin'
Boss man's been on your back all day
You're out there in the hot sun workin
While he's sippin iced tea in the shade
You have to put up with so much & you feel beat up
But that's all about to fade away

[CHORUS]
Come on, lay your head down on my shoulder
Let your troubled mind go free
All day long you've had to be strong, but now you're home & I'll make you see
You don't have to be tough with me
You don't have to be tough with me

Just leave your boots there by the doorway
I'll pour us both a glass of wine
I'll bet I can think of some way
To help bring back your tender side
It's a heavy load to bear in your world out there
But tonight you're back in mine

[CHORUS]
Come on, lay your head down on my shoulder
Let your troubled mind go free
All day long you've had to be strong, but now you're home & I'll make you see
You don't have to be tough with me

There it is now there you go, there's that smile I know
Let's keep it goin all night long
All night long

[CHORUS]
Come on, lay your head down on my shoulder
Let your troubled mind go free
All day long you've had to be strong, but now you're home & I'll make you see
You don't have to be tough with me
You don't have to be tough with me

You Tell Me lyrics - Terri Clark (feat. Johnny Reid)

You tell me cuz I don't know
How we are or where we go from here
I can't read your mind
Is everything okay
Oh don't ask me, I don't know what to say
You tell me
What comes next
What I can and can't expect from you
Is there somethin we can mend
What will the story be
Oh you've got all the answers that I need

Do we wave a flag and say it's over
Do we honor all the vows we made
I love the way we were
Tomorrow what will we be
You tell me

Cuz I cant play
This guessing game where love can stay or go
It changes with the wind
What our hearts will do
Whatever way it blows is up to you

Do we wave a flag and say it's over
Do we honor all the vows we made
I love the way we were
Tomorrow what will we be
You tell me

Do we wave a flag and say it's over
Do we honor all the vows we made
I love the way we were
Tomorrow what will we be
You tell me
You tell me

"Life Goes On" (2005)

Life Goes On lyrics - Terri Clark

Back in 1994
I fell head over heals for the boy next door
I prayed every night and day
That God would turn his head my way
Graduation he moved on
Broke my heart like a country song
Must have cried two rivers long

[chorus]
Oh, but life goes on
And before too long
You figure out you're right where you belong
It's sad and it's sweet
But if you're lucky it keeps going on and on and on

Then came 1999
My heart broke for the second time
Left me cryin' on the steps
Burned me down like a cigarette
Just like that and he was gone
My heart sunk like a ten pound ston
Hand no right to do me wron

[chorus]
Oh, but life goes on
And before too long
You figure out you're right where you belong
It's sad and it's sweet
But if you're lucky it keeps going on and on and on

My mamm alwyas said that they'll be lesson that you learn
You don't need to know 'em all right now
But I'm learning as I go
And the more I learn I know
The less I want to know anyhow

I finally found my whole world
Little boy and a little girl
Got me a man with a heart of gold
It all came back a hundred fold
And I watch the gravel kickin' up
As he pull in the drive in his pick-up truck
I jsut smile and my good luck

[chorus]
Oh, but life goes on
And before too long
You figure out you're right where you belong
It's sad and it's sweet
But if you're luck it keeps going on and on and on

Damn Right lyrics - Terri Clark

I'm not gonna lie or act like I'm that tough
There might be a tear in my eye when I watch theat airplane liftin' up
I never was much for tellin' you how much you ment
But I need you to know you were heaven sent

We went together like highways and T-birds
Saturday sinners and Sunday church and
Lookin' back and cryin and laughin bout the life between us too
We went together like memories and long gones
Cowboys and sad old songs
After all the holdin' on tight that we went through
You're damn right I'm going to miss you

I guess there are times when all of us re-learn
And life is a book, and the pages, you know they're about to turn
And I don't know where the story ends
Where it's gonna go now
Just as long as this chapter tell the whole world how

We went together like highways and T-birds
Saturday sinners and Sunday church and
Lookin' back and cryin and laughin bout the life between us too
We went together like memories and long gones
Cowboys and sad old songs
After all the holdin' on tight that we went through
You're damn right I'm going to miss you

We went together like highways and T-birds
Saturday sinners and Sunday church and
Lookin' back and cryin and laughin bout the life between us too
We went together like memories and long gones
Cowboys and sad old songs
After all the holdin' on tight that we went through
Yeah after all of the fairytales that didn't quite come true
After all the nights and the fights that we went through
You're damn right I'm gonna miss you
I'm gonna miss you

She Didn't Have Time lyrics - Terri Clark

He said goodbye from the edge of the porch
Like she'd been some casual friend
He said "You're better off without me, I'm not what you need" like her momma had said about him
He started the car pulled out of the drive didn't waste anytime lookin back
She watched him go thinkin even a stranger would show more compassion than that

[Chorus:]
She could've cried but she didn't have time
She had a baby to feed, a pink blanket to find, to rock their little one to sleep
She could've laid in bed for hours giving misery the power
But she didn't have time

She got a sitter and she got a job 'cause she had a promise to keep
Her day was a factory and evenin survival and night was exhaustion and sleep
Sometimes she felt life was passing her by and watching was all she could do
Her friends said "You gotta get outta the house and maybe you'll meet someone new"

[Chorus:]
She could've tried but she didn't have time
She had a five years old to feed, she had ballet class, piano lessons and t-ball little league
She could've laid awake for hours giving lonely nights the power
But she didn't have time

Not time, where would she find the time to trust a man again
Not time, for that flat tire, a crowded parking lot and then,
Not time, but yes have coffee with the man that got her tire fixed
She was thinking "Gosh, he's handsome"
When he asked
"Do you have kids?"

She could've lied but she didn't have time, all she said was "She's five"
He said "I saw the car seat, I love kids, does she have your eyes"
And they sat and talked for hours givin destiny its power
She could've been afraid to fall in love that night
But she didn't have time

She could've been afraid to fall in love that night
But she didn't have time

Cowboy Days lyrics - Terri Clark

I was third alton on the second row of the First Baptist church choir
I was keeper of the minutes for the Tri Delts, in charge of the homecoming bonfire
I was a staight 'A', straight laced, level-headed as they come
And parked at the Sonic, isn't that ironic, when my whole world came undone

One slot over was a calf roper gibeing me his Geoge Strait smile
And before I knew Miss Good-Two-Shoes was two0steppin', runnin' wild

Back in my cowboy days, Lord what a honky tonkin' haze
He was forbidden fruit in them tight Wranglers and boots
It was all dangerous fun, we were two outlaws on the run
Tastin' that rodeo dust, two unliklies in love
I swore I'd never give him up, back in my cowboy days

Well, Mama said, "He's crazy" Daddy says, "He's lazy"
Sister said, "Does he have a brother?"
Well, I changed my dress and who woulda guessed
I'd be wearin' them jeans and ropers

It was passionate nights and dashboard light
Nobody was watchin' the clock
It was love in the makin'
Eggs and bacon at the Seventy-Six truck shop

Back in my cowboy days, Lord what a honky tonkin' haze
He was forbidden fruit in them tight Wranglers and boots
It was all dangerous fun, we were two outlaws on the run
Tastin' that rodeo dust, two unliklies in love
I swore I'd never give him up, back in my cowboy days

Sometimes I lay here thinkin' 'bout him
And laugh about my crazy past
Then I roll over and kiss the calf roper
Who'da though it'd ever last

Back in my cowboy days, Lord what a honky-tonkin' haze

Not Enough Tequila lyrics - Terri Clark

Winters are grey in Tennessee
That don't usually get to me
But here lately I've bin missin' the sun

So I caught a plane to cousin Lille
Thought a, weekend in that salty air would do me good
At least I thought it would

[CHORUS]
Here I sit with a drink in my hand
Local canteena with a sign hanging sayin'
Something in Spanish bout
Let the good times roll
Between the sandy beeches and the margaritas
Thought I'd find a way to let you go
But there's not enough tequila in Mexico

Your memory didn't come around.
No not until the sun went down
And I startin' wishin' I had you to hold

It's a feelin that just won't fade
Even a thousand miles away
I still want you back: with every glass

[CHORUS]

[Instrumental]

Between the sandy beeches and the margaritas
I thought I'd find a way to let you go
But there's not enough tequila in Mexico

Bigger Windows lyrics - Terri Clark

Little Clapboard house
Rent always due
Railroad tracks and factory smokestacks for a view
No easy street in our neighborhood
Yeah, it was hard to tell the bad times from the good
Summer nights just lyin' there watchin' the fan go 'round
Find a cool spot on the pillow and fall asleep dreamin' about

[Chorus:]
Bigger windows, bluer skies
Greener grass and more sunshine
Where a long shot's not so far away
Where hope is always high
And dreams have room to stretch their wings and fly
Through bigger windows, bluer skies

Yeah, those trains rolled by
And time did too
That tiny place looked even smaller in my rearview
Yeah, I've come a few miles, but I'm still that girl
With my nose pressed against the window to the world
Lookin' through a winshield of possibilities
Life sure does look different, sometimes all you need are

[Chorus:]
Bigger windows, bluer skies
Greener grass and more sunshine
Where a long shot's not so far away
Where hope is always high
And dreams have room to stretch their wings and fly
Through bigger windows, bluer skies

A different town, a different job or just a different room
No matter where you are right now
What I wish for you are

[Chorus:]
Bigger windows, bluer skies
Greener grass and more sunshine
Where a long shot's not so far away
Where hope is always high
And dreams have room to stretch their wings and fly
Through bigger windows, bluer skies

Through bigger windows, bluer skies

I Wish He'd Been Drinkin' Whiskey lyrics - Terri Clark

I used to think it was all in the drink
It made him the way he was
He swore he'd change, poured it all down the drain
And finally he'd given up
But tonight in the kitchen
I sat there and listened
To words he could never take back
I didn't see no Jack or Jim Beam
He was drinking his coffee black

[Chorus:]
Oh, I wish he'd been drinkin' whiskey
When he told me he didn't love me
But he was stone cold sober
He meant what he said
And he did what he did
'Cause in his heart it was already over
The truth doesn't lie
So I can't deny it like I've always done before
Oh, I wish he'd been drinkin' whiskey
When he told me he didn't love me no more

He used to come home drunk to the bone
After he'd stayed out all night
He'd start slammin' doors and pacin' the floors
And we'd always end up in a fight
But tonight there's no screaming
Just the sound of him leaving
And the silence that rings in my ears
This house is dry, but for the very first time
I wish there was a bottle 'round here

[Repeat Chorus]

Yeah, I wish he'd been drinkin' whiskey
When he told me he didn't love me no more

Honky Tonk Song lyrics - Teri Clark

One more margarita was one bad idea
Now you don't know where you left your car
And the rent's overdue, well, imagine that
And you think you might die from a broken heart
Well, you've told us all you're life's a total wreck
Then you might not want to hear what's comin' next 'cause

[Chorus:]
This is a honky tonk song
One of those get another beer, bend another ear
Somebody did something wrong songs
Between the pain and the pinin', cussin' and the cryin'
It might be ten minutes long
Hey, but that's ok
This is a honky tonk song

Now this is for Alice way out in Dallas
Who got dumped at the Burger King
And this is for Bobby who just quit his job
He's movin' out to Nashville to sing
For that long haul trucker who wont be home for supper
'Cause he's stranded on the side of the road
For everybody lonesome, everybody blue, yeah

[Repeat Chorus]

It's for that good ol' boy preachin', dealin' with the Deacons
And the little ladies with the beehive hair-do's
And what about the waitress who don't think she can take it
Standin' on her feet one more night
For that Nascar racer that never sees the checkered flag
Wavin' crazy for him
For everyone who feels like they were born to loose, yeah

[Repeat Chorus]

It's when the pain and the pinnin', cussin' and the cryin'
This thing is goin' on forever, Lord
It feels like it's ten years long
Hey, but that's ok
This is a honky tonk song
It's a honky tonk song
Another honky tonk song

Travelin' Soul lyrics - Terri Clark

I have found my calling
The mission's all too clear
The voice I hear inside me
Is louder than the fear
I follow the bright lights
Into the dark nights
Chasin' after word's and melodies

We could sail the ocean
Lay back ob the waves
Or you can drop an anchor
And be the one to stay
Either way you see
It's ok with me
'Cause Love can only grow if it's set free

[Chorus:]
These gypsy feet keep changin' shoes
And are you the one that I belong to
That'll be my saving grace
And guide my way back home
My path is like a broken sidewalk
With cracks and stones and tear-shaped raindrops
That testify to the dreams that wont let go
I wanna know
Can you love this travelin' soul

If I rest here in your arms
Long enough to let you in
Without ever akin' why
Will you let me run again
Believe in my need to fly
Just like the changin' tide
I'll keep coming back if you'll be my welcome shore

[Repeat Chorus]

My path is like a broken sidewalk
With cracks and stones and tear-shaped raindrops
That testify to the dreams that wont let go
I wanna know
Can you love this travelin' soul
Can you love this travelin' soul

Everybody's Gotta Go Sometime lyrics - Terri Clark

They've been together now for eighteen years
And every growin' pain has led them here
She's packed up that last box in her old Chevrolet
Her mama says Tennessee seems so far away
And it's the first time she's seen her daddy cry

[Chorus:]
But everybody's gotta go sometime
Everybody's gotta cross that line
Even though goodbye wont come easy
Leave a little bit of love behind
It takes a lot of faith to find the strength
To walk away freely
Everybody's gotta go sometime

He found the love note in the dresser drawer
Right then he forgot what he was looking for
A decade of trust just went down the drain
She choked on her words when she tried to explain
And as he walked away, she begged him to stay

[Repeat Chorus]

All we really know for sure is nothing stays the same
Don't be frightened by the winds of change

[Repeat Chorus]

Everybody's gotta go sometime
Everybody's gotta go sometime

Slow News Day lyrics - Terri Clark

How many times a pop star
Can go under the knife
Seems to be the conversation makin rounds tonight
And standing at the bar two friends are lookin for a fight
Over what the Bible says is wrong or right

When someone made a movie about Jesus on the cross
A journalism war of what is truth and what is not
Was all that they could talk about everyday for weeks
And do you think that's how He wanted it to be

Lately I pray for a slow news day
'Cause everything goods not bad enough for the front page
For every ten we lose we only hear of one that's saved
Sometimes I wanna hide away the rain
For a slow news day

People are still good that I always will belive
But these it feels like everyone could use a little peace
Living in a world that filled with fear and worry
It might be time for us to hear a different story

Lately I pray for a slow news day
'Cause everything goods not bad enough for the front page
For every ten we lose we only hear of one that's saved
Sometimes I wanna hide away the rain
For a slow news day

When I wake up I don't wanna see
Those headlines on the TV screen

Lately I pray for a slow news day
'Cause everything goods not bad enough for the front page
For every ten we lose we only hear of one that's saved
Sometimes I wanna hide away the rain
For a slow news day

A slow news day

Tear It All Down lyrics - Terri Clark

We built a little playhouse with a front porch swing
A white picket fence, the American dream
Step by step, stone by stone
And now you're tellin' me that you wanna be alone
The walls are fallin' all around me now
You wanna.....

[Chorus:]
Tear it all down
Tear it all down
You're rippin' out what we put up
Demolishing this house of love
Tear it all down
Tear it all down
When your soul foundation cracks
It's hard to put the pieces back
When you tear it all down

Before this thing crumbles, you better think it through
'Cause you're gonna have to live with what you can't undo

Day by day, night after night
The truth is gonna hit you right between the eyes
You're gonna see the wreckage all around
When you.....

[Repeat Chorus]

Step by step, stone by stone
We built this house into a home
For you to.....

[Repeat Chorus]

Now That I Found You lyrics - Terri Clark

How can I believe
That my heart would find someone like you
You see me, the real me
No in bewteens, I had nowhere to hide
You took away the walls around me
Made me feel safe to share my truth

I see the heavens open, a heart that once was broken
Is holding nothing back
Now that I found you
You hold me like a prayer, you touch me everywhere
A lifetime just ain't enough to love you true
Now that I found you
Now that I found you

I do believe we're meant to be
Our chemistry will last forever
And through the years
We'll see some tears
We'll conquer fears
And together we will grow
Looking in your eyes
They tell me
I no longer have to feel alone

I see the heavens open, a heart that once was broken
Is holding nothing back
Now that I found you
You hold me like a prayer, you touch me everywhere
A lifetime just ain't enough to love you true
Now that I found you
Now that I found you

You see me, the real me
You believe in me

I see the heavens open, a heart that once was broken
Is holding nothing back
Now that I found you
You hold me like a prayer, you touch me everywhere
A lifetime just ain't enough to love you true
Now that I found you
Now that I found you

You're Easy On The Eyes lyrics - Terri Clark

Shoulda known it was you knocking on my door
At half past a heartache at quarter to four
Were you starting to worry I was finally getting over you
I almost forgot you looked so fine
If you told me some lies, it would be like old times
Just getting to see you is almost worth the things you do

[Chorus]
You're easy on the eyes
Hard on the heart
You look so good but the way things look ain't the way they are
Better say goodbye
Before this goes too far
Cause now I realize you're easy on the eyes
Hard on the heart

I got to admit to you got a smile
That really reeled me in for awhile
But it ain't funny, honey, what you put me through
So why don't you send me your photograph
It'd hurt a lot less than taking you back
Then I could still have my favorite part of you

[Repeat Chorus Twice]
Cause you're easy on the eyes
Hard on the heart
You look so good but the way things look ain't the way they are
Better say goodbye
Before this goes too far
Cause now I realize you're easy on the eyes
Hard on the heart

You're easy on the eyes
Hard on the heart
You look so good but the way things look ain't the way they are
Better say goodbye
Before this goes too far
Now I realize you're easy on the eyes
Hard on the heart

Now I realize
You're easy on the eyes
Hard on the heart

Girls Lie Too lyrics - Terri Clark

So she can't go out tonight again
Her sister's sick, she's gotta baby-sit
Yeah, that sounds like a pretty good excuse
Now you didn't hear any of this from me
But things aren't always what they seem
Brace yourself, this may come as a shock to you

Girls lie, too
We don't care how much money you make
What you drive or what you weigh
Size don't matter anyway
Girls lie, too
Don't think you're the only ones
Who bend it, break it, stretch it some
We learn from you
Girls lie, too

We can't wait to hear about your round of golf
We love to see deer heads hanging on the wall
And we like Hooter's for their hotwings too
Other guys never cross our minds
We don't wonder what it might be like
How could it be any better than it is with you

[Repeat Chorus]

Yeah, girls lie, too
We always forgive and forget
The cards and flowers you never sent
Will never be brought up again
Girls lie, too
Old gray sweatpants turn us on
We like your friends and we love your mom
And that's the truth
Girls lie, too
Yeah that's the truth
Girls lie, too

No, we don't care how much hair you have
Yeah, that looks good
Comb it over like that

One Of The Guys lyrics - Terri Clark

Hood up, bent over that carborator
I skinned my knuckle
Damn that hurt
Got a 6 pack chillin' on ice for later
And grease all over my white t-shirt

My brother taught me how
To throw a curve ball
The cheerleadin' thing never felt quite right
When it comes to high fashion
I hit a brick wall
This girl's just one of the guys

You can dress me up
But it won't change
The way i walk against the grain
I can rock your world
And if my mood is right
You can take me home
But i'm gonna drive
'cause this girls just one of the guys

I can throw darts
Talk about fishin'
Tell a dirty joke
And watch nascar
I can help you with your love life
And tell you 'bout women
Drink you under the table
At your favorite bar

You can dress me up
But it won't change
The way i walk against the grain
I can rock your world
And if my mood is right
You can take me home
But i'm gonna drive
'cause this girls just one of the guys

I'm still a lady
Lookin' for the right man
But he's gotta take me
Just the way i am

'cause you can dress me up
But it won't change
The way i walk against the grain
I can rock your world
And if my mood is right
After the game on monday night
'cause this girl's just one of the guys
Yeah this girl's just one of the guys

Hey... Woa!

No Fear (Live Version) lyrics - Terri Clark

I want a road stretching out before me
I want a radio in my ear
I want a full tank of absolution
No fear
I want a rainstorm to pull me over
Then a sky that begins to clear
Towards the truest of destinations
No fear

I used to hit every wall there was
I used to run away from love
All I ever wanted was right here
But I had to reach way down inside
I had to have faith I'd find
No fear

I want the world to just keep on turning
I want the dawn in my rear view mirror
I want to hear my own voice singing
No fear
And when I need two arms around me
And theres no one near
When I'm alone let the only sound be
No fear

I used to hit every wall there was
I used to run away from love
All I ever wanted was right here
But I had to reach way down inside
I had to have faith I'd find
No fear

I want peace, Love and Understanding
A stogie and an ice-cold beer
Don't want to live afraid of dying
I used to hit every wall there was
I used to run away from love
All I ever wanted was right here
But I had to reach way down inside
I used to stay up all night long
Wondering what I was doing wrong
All I ever needed was right here
But I had to reach way down inside
I had to have faith I'd find
No fear

"Pain To Kill" (2003)

I Just Wanna Be Mad lyrics - Terri Clark

Last night we went to bed not talking
Cause we already said to much
I face the wall you faced the window
Bound and determined not to touch

We've been married 7 years now
Some days if feels like 21
I'm still mad at you this morning
Coffee's ready if you want some
I've been up since 5
Thinking about me and you
And I've got to tell you
The conclusion I've come to

[Chorus]
I'll never leave, I'll never stray
My love for you will never change
But I ain't ready to make up or get around to that
I think I'm right I think your wrong
I'll probably give in before long
Please don't make me smile
I just want to be mad for awhile

For now you might as well forget it
Don't run your fingers through my hair
Yeah that's right I'm being stubborn
No I don't want to go back upstairs
I'm going to leave for work
Without a goodbye kiss
But as I'm driving off
Just remember this

[Chorus twice]

I just want to be mad for awhile
I just want to be mad for awhile
I just want to be mad for awhile

Three Mississippi lyrics - Terri Clark

[Verse 1]
I used to believe that things would change but here we go again,
Riding and spinning carousale this circle never ends,
This kitchen table has seen it all before,
These walls are tired of standing...Cant hold us anymore

[Chorus]
One Mississippi I close my eyes
Two Mississippi I'm beggin' you and we can still survive
Three Mississippi No looking back,
Gone for good and i know that,
I wont Change my mind...OoOh WooOa yea,
Three Mississippi is where I at tonight

[Verse 2]
We're all out of second chances and all out of one more times.
There's not a word we haven't said nothing we have not tried.
My bones are aching from the weight I'm holding down,
I took all that I'm taking,
I'm breaking....breaking down.

[Chorus]
One Mississippi I close my eyes,
Two Mississippi I'm beggin' you and we can still survive,
Three Mississippi No looking back,
Gone for good and i know that,
I wont Change my mind...OoOh WooOa yea,
Three Mississippi is where I at tonight

[Bridge]
Hold My breath, Close My Eyes...
...Goodbye...
WooOOOo WoOooOO

[Chorus]
One Mississippi I close my eyes
Two Mississippi I'm beggin' you and we can still survive
Three Mississippi No looking back,
Gone for good and i know that
I wont Change my mind...No I Wont Change My Mind,
Three Mississippi is where I at tonight

Three Mississippi
Three Mississippi

Pain To Kill lyrics - Terri Clark

I got a headache from the work day
And a heartache from last night
Anything that could've lately did not go right
They say time is the ticket
But I sure ain't got the time
With a little jingle in my pocket
There's a mission on my mind

I've got some pain to kill
Hurt to heal
Anything I have to do I will
So come on baby let's take a ride
Way on over to the other side
Of this low-down, lonely, no good way to feel
I got some pain to kill

Gonna find me a party
Maybe start one of my own
Light a fire to my troubles
And around the smoke
I might regret it come tomorrow
When I'm nursing the good time flu
But a girl in my condition only has one thing to lose

I've got some pain to kill
Hurt to heal
Anything I have to do I will
So come on baby let's take a ride
Way on over to the other side
Of this low-down, lonely, no good way to feel
I got some pain to kill

Promotion bumped me
Boyfriend dumped me
I gotta do something
So until the sun comes up on Sunday

I've got some pain to kill
Hurt to heal
Anything I have to do I will
So come on baby let's take a ride
Way on over to the other side
Of this low-down, lonely, no good way to feel
I got some pain to kill

I've got some pain to kill
Hurt to heal
Anything I have to do I will
So come on baby let's take a ride
Way on over to the other side
Of this low-down, lonely, no good way to feel
I got some pain to kill

I got some real pain to kill

I Just Called To Say Goodbye lyrics - Terri Clark

Boy, I didn't mean to wake you.
I'm ok, yeah everything's all right.
I'm in a phone booth outside of Denver,
I drove all night.

Well, I would've called you sooner,
But I knew you'd talk me out of this.
I've had a lot of miles to do some thinkin',
Now it all-makes perfect sense.

No I haven't changed my mind,
I just called to say goodbye.

You should see this mountain sunrise,
It looks just the way I dreamed.
I got my map of Colorado in the seat right next to me.
If it ain't packed in this ol' Plymouth,
It's better left behind.
I just called to say goodbye.

Boy, you know I'm gonna miss you....,
But we both know it's for the best.
We just can't keep usin' each other,
As a safety net.

I bet someday your gonna thank me.
When you finally get a taste of true love.
Baby, what we had was pretty good,
Just not enough.

So here's to tears we'll never cry,
I just called to say goodbye.

You should see this mountain sunrise,
It looks just the way I dreamed.
I got my map of Colorado in the seat right next to me.
If it ain't packed in this ol' Plymouth,
It's better left behind.
I just called to say goodbye.

If it ain't packed in this ol' Plymouth,
It's better left behind.
I just called to say goodbye

I just called to say goodbye.

I Wanna Do It All lyrics - Terri Clark

I'm sitting in traffic
For the 5th year in a row
Wasting my time
Just to get
Where I don't even wanna go
I started jotting things down
On a krispy kreme sack
Everything I'd do
If I could leave this place
And never look back

I wanna do it all
Visit Paris in the fall
Watch the Yankees play ball
I wanna take it all in
Catch a few beads
Down at Mardi Gras
Start a tradition
Lay down the law
I wanna do it all

I want to drink tequila
Down in Tijuana
Say why not
When somebody says
Hey do you wanna
I wanna get my heart broke
Once or twice
Settle down with the love of my life
Rock little babies to sleep at night

I wanna do it all
Visit Paris in the fall
Watch the Yankees play ball
I wanna take it all in
Catch a few beads
Down at Mardi Gras
Start a tradition
Lay down the law
I wanna do it all

I wanna spend a day
Every now and then
Just doin what I want to do
When I wanna do it
Anytime I wanna do it

I wanna do it all
Visit Paris in the fall
Watch the Yankee's play ball
I wanna take it all in
Catch a few beads
Down at Mardi Gras
Start a tradition
Lay down the law

I wanna do it all
See Niagara falls
Fight city hall
Feel good in my skin
Beating the odds
With my back to the wall
Try to rob Peter
Without paying Paul
I wanna do it all
I wanna do it all
I wanna do it all

The One You Love lyrics - Terri Clark

He says it's none of my damn bussiness
How much he drinks
And he doesn't have a problem
No matter what the whole town thinks
At his baby's birthday party
There was whiskey on his breath
Everybody wants to save him
But he's not ready yet

[Chorus:]
You wanna scream, you wanna cry
You want someone to tell you why
All the hope that's in your heart is not enough
You hit your knees, you shake your fists
Oh, it's the deepest wound there is
When you can't help the one you love

Her reads the bible
Her father sits and snores
They're with her every minute
'Cause they may not have many more
She was dancing in New Orleans
Only seven weeks ago
Life may go on with out her
But not the life we know

[Chorus:]
You wanna scream, you wanna cry
You want someone to tell you why
All the hope that's in your heart is not enough
You hit your knees, you shake your fists
Oh, it's the deepest wound there is
When you can't help the one you love

When someone's slipping away
Right before your eyes
How useless we are
Is a painful surprise

[Chorus:]
You wanna scream, you wanna cry
You want someone to tell you why
All the hope that's in your heart is not enough
You hit your knees, you shake your fists
Oh, it's the deepest wound there is
When you can't help the one you love

When you can't help the one you love...

Almost Gone lyrics - Terri Clark

Caught between a rock and a heartache
In the middle of here and torn in two
Not sure which road that I'll take
On my way to over you

Maybe I'll get lost in the past
Maybe I'll get past the lost
Either way, with or without you
I'm takin' off

Now that my wheels are turnin'
I know I can get there on my own
Now that my fears are burnin'
I'm almost gone
Closer to where I'm headed
Finding my way won't take me long
I may not be there yet
But I'm almost gone

What if I get stuck in a memory
Even if it's right in front of me
And I'll know that's where I need to be

Now that my wheels are turnin'
I know I can get there on my own
Now that my fears are burnin'
I'm almost gone
Closer to where I'm headed
Finding my way won't take me long
I may not be there yet
But I'm almost gone

Almost gone
Almost gone

Working Girl lyrics - Terri Clark

Martha in the mornin',Oprah in the afternoon,
Weddings in the Garden,
Watchin' TV on a sick day,
Tel me: whats that mean to you?

[Chorus:]
They say I'm outta touch,
But they don't know much about my world
got a wing and a prayer and a job on the line.
And there ain't no time for a Working Girl.

Well,they say they respect me,
in the fashion magazines,
Oh,honey all I see is these girls don't look like
me! Tell me: What's it like to be rich? and ever seventeen?

[Repeat Chorus]

Starry nights on the beach,
the worlds in my reach,
But they don't take American Express.

[Repeat Chorus]

Got A wing and A prayer and
a boss and a job on the line.
A Working Girl,I'm a
Working Girl

Better Than You lyrics - Terri Clark

At a table for two
With a romantic view
He said there's something
That you need to know
I don't usually date
So if I hesitate
It's just that I'm taking it slow

He said, "Darling I don't want to hurt you,"
As he gently reached out for her hand
She laughed, she picked up her menu
And said mister you don't understand

I've been loved, I've been left
I've been wronged by the best
I've had hopes that were shattered in two
I've heard promises spoken
I've had dreams left so broken
There was no chance they'd ever come true
It ain't easy to see
By looking at me
But there's no hell I haven't walked through
If you're worried that's fine
But this heart of mine's
Been broken by better than you

When dinner was done
She said I had fun
As they walked to her door he smiled
He said, "It's only 10 could I come in?
Maybe we could just talk for awhile."
She said, "Honey I know what you're after,
and as much as I'd like you to stay,
nothing good ever lasted
when it gets started that way."

I've been loved, I've been left,
I've been wronged by the best
I've had hopes that were shattered in two
I've heard promises spoken
I've had dreams left so broken
There was no chance they'd ever come true
It ain't easy to see
But take it from me
There's no hell I haven't walked through
And I wont cross that line
'Cause this heart of mine's
Been broken by better than you

No I won't cross that line,
'Cause this heart of mine's
Been broken by better than you
