Givin' Up Givin' A Damn lyrics - Terri Clark
I got a sweet iced tea in my sippy
Got a two lane twistin' through the hickories
Got some bye bye baby bye bye songs playin'
Like a rock-n-roll angel of mercy's DJin'
Yeah your crazy jaded kinda love I was chasin'
Never looked better in the rearview fadin'
I'm a steerin' wheel finger wavin' Michelin choir
The sky's a little bluer, the sun's a little brighter
Can I get a hallelujah hell to the yeah Amen
For the days that were made for
Givin' up givin' a damn
So baby c'est la viva Las Vegas
It was fun but once you're out of aces
Had to pack my bags and grab the first flight leavin'
Back to lettin' God do the dealin' and the feelin'
Of a steerin' wheel finger wavin' Michelin choir
The sky's a little bluer, the sun's a little brighter
Can I get a hallelujah hell to the yeah Amen
For the days that were made for
Givin' up on givin' a damn
Got some bye bye baby bye bye songs playin'
Like a rock-n-roll angel of mercy's DJin'
Of a steerin' wheel finger wavin' Michelin choir
The sky's a little bluer, the sun's a little brighter
Can I get a hallelujah hell to the yeah Amen
For the days that were made for
Givin' up on givin' a damn
(Bye bye baby bye bye baby)
(Bye bye baby bye bye baby)
I'm givin' up on givin' a damn
(Bye bye baby bye bye baby) Baby
(Bye bye baby bye bye baby)
Cowboys In This Town lyrics - Terri Clark
Still got dirt on boots & blue on collars
Still got work to do & hard earned dollars
Still got two for ones & one tap beer
Cause that's what you get around here
And we still got cowboys in this town
Still got the real Mccoys making outlaw noise
Gonna drink that paycheck down on Friday night
Yeah we still got cowboys in this town
Kicking up dust on gravel ground
Might be a middle of nowhere one horse one stop light with a Texaco sign
But we still got cowboys in this town
Still got the main street girls in the faded out blue jeans
The kind that like to dirt road dance around in the high beams
No they don't give a damn about the city life
Want a man that'll treat em right
And we still got cowboys in this town
Still got the real Mccoys making outlaw noise
Gonna drink that paycheck down on Friday night
Yeah we still got cowboys in this town
Kicking up dust on gravel ground
Might be a middle of nowhere one horse one stop light with a Texaco sign
But we still got cowboys in this town
If you're looking for a good time
Yeah we'll gonna keep you up all night
Cause we still got cowboys in this town
Still got the real mccoys making outlaw noise
Gonna drink that paycheck down on Friday night
Yeah we still got cowboys in this town
Kicking up dust on gravel ground
Might be a middle of nowhere one horse one stop light with a Texaco sign
We still got cowboys in this town
Weddings, Funerals, And Empty Hotel Bars lyrics - Terri Clark
Do you mind if I sit down, am I keeping you from closing
I need a double shot of somethin' yeah just leave it open
Me, I'm from here, but I ain't been back lately
Not since my sister Jamie had her baby in the fall
Me and my friends used to come here in the 90s
Stupid kids with fake IDs, rebels without a cause
Ain't it funny they're still lining up on Elm Street
Sometimes I miss those old dreams, cheers to what could have been, but
I know better than to drag up memories
What's meant to be is meant to be
Like 18 leaving in a beat up car
And, time has a way of making hometowns disappear
Feels like I only show up here
For holidays and acts of God
Weddings, funerals, and empty hotel bars
Did you ever have somebody that burned you up completely
Be glad believe me, that's why I'm drinking now
Yea, I saw him standing with our old friends
And the girl I maybe could've been if I'd stuck around
I know better than to drag up memories
What's meant to be is meant to be
But try to tell that to a heart
And, time has a way of making hometowns disappear
Feels like I only show up here
For holidays and acts of God
Weddings, funerals, and empty hotel bars
Guess I'll call it a night, cause I got an early morning
If you're feeling lonely I'm in room 128
I could use somebody, that ain't his body
I know I'm probably just putting off the pain
I know better than to drag up memories
What's meant to be is meant to be
Tomorrow I'll pack up my car
And all those regrets they'll be in my rearview mirror
I'll see the bigger picture but tonight's the hardest part of
Weddings, funerals, and empty hotel bars
Weddings, funerals, and empty hotel bars
Young As We Are Tonight lyrics - Terri Clark
Look at us
Where we are
Just livin' in a field of stars
Just some hearts
With some dreams
Running wild like kings and queens
At the county fair little town somewhere
Sundown fades you get lost in the midway lights
And that look in her eye
You got two tickets to the show called life
Whatever you're holdin' in
Let it go
Let it disappear in a ring a smoke
Kiss the sky
Send up a prayer
Wherever you're goin' just go there
Take a look around for a minute
Take a picture in your mind
And send it to yourself cause the truth is you and I
We're never gonna be as young as we are tonight
As young as we are tonight
(As young as we are tonight)
Let the words
And the sound
Take your feet right off the gound
Let your love
Light a spark
And watch it burn right through the dark
And hang on tight cause it's a hell of ride
But there ain't no need to fight
Whatever you're holdin' in
Let it go
Let it disappear in a ring a smoke
Kiss the sky
Send up a prayer
Wherever you're goin' just go there
Take a look around for a minute
Take a picture in your mind
And send it to yourself cause the truth is you and I
We're never gonna be as young as we are tonight
As young as we are tonight
(As young as we are tonight)
So sing out loud and raise up that beer
And be damn proud that you grew up 'round here
You got one life, you got one chance, you got one dance
Whatever you're holdin' in
Let it go
Let it disappear in a ring a smoke
Kiss the sky
Send up a prayer
Wherever you're goin' just go there
Take a look around for a minute
Take a picture in your mind
And send it to yourself cause the truth is you and I
We're never gonna be as young as we are tonight
As young as we are tonight
(As young as we are tonight)
Half A Bottle Down lyrics - Terri Clark
It didn't have the makings of a mystery
You've been leaving every trace
You said you wanted to talk to me, be better face to face
Here we are, here it is
Drop drop, shot by shot
Just trying to get ahead
Of the pain that's coming
There's no use running
I'll numb myself instead
Won't go too far, I'm just not ready yet
I'm a little too sober
Can you let me go slower
Let's talk about over
Half a bottle down
If you're bringing on a buzz kill
Gonna need another refill
Baby can it wait till
Half a bottle down
You may think I've had enough
But I'm still underserved
Still working on my armor
While you're working up the nerve
Take your time
You sure took your share of mine
I'm a little too sober
Can you let me go slower
Let's talk about over
Half a bottle down
If you're bringing on a buzz kill
Gonna need another refill
Baby can it wait till
Half a bottle down
Half a bottle down
Just one more
Till I get down to that line
And when you close the door
We'll both be feeling fine
I'm a little too sober
Can you let me go slower
Let's talk about over
Half a bottle down
If you're bringing on a buzz kill
Gonna need another refill
Baby can it wait till
Half a bottle down
Half a bottle down
Half a bottle down
It didn't have the makings of a mystery
You've been leaving every trace
Here we are, here it is
Bloody Mary Morning lyrics - Terri Clark
Woke up to car doors slamming
Church bells in distance
They're On the road to redemption
Maybe a little forgiveness
I should be putting on my Sunday best
Like all the rest
Instead of coming down like the rain outside and pouring
A Bloody Mary morning
Chasing down the truth
Tryin to kill the pain
Wash away what I can't change
What the hell else at I can do
This Bloody Mary morning-
Might last all afternoon
First time reaching over
Without you in my bed
No undoing what I did
No Takin back what I said
I made a mess of you and me
So much for coming clean
Last night I could see the storm clouds forming
A Bloody Mary morning
Chasing down the truth
Tryin to kill the pain
Wash away what I can't change
What the hell else at I can do
This Bloody Mary morning-
Might last all afternoon
There's a break in the sky, but here inside it's pouring
A Bloody Mary morning
Chasing down the truth
Tryin to kill the pain
Wash away what I can't change
What the hell else at I can do
This Bloody Mary morning-
Might last all afternoon
Watered Down Whiskey lyrics - Terri Clark
You know I wasn't supposed to be here
I don't go out on Tuesday nights
Bumped into you wasted your whisky
And you said
Next, ones on you so thats all right
I was just about to call it
All cashed out on my last drink
But when we started talkin'
More than the buzz was hitting me
I guess we lost all track of time
Before we knew it yeah
The night was disappearing way too fast
Like the ice in the bottom of a low ball glass
Flirting with an all in kind of gamble,
Slowly sipping getting tangled up and tipsy
Drinking warm beer and watered down whisky
Watered down whisky
I knew that dance would get us closer
So I asked when I heard this song
Leanin my head on your shoulder
Feels like somethings going on
Don't think I've ever been this gone
I guess we lost all track of time
Before we knew it yeah
The night was disappearing way too fast
Like the ice in the bottom of a low ball glass
Flirting with an all in kind of gamble,
Slowly sipping getting tangled up and tipsy
Drinking warm beer and watered down whisky
Looks like they're turning up the lights
No I don't wanna say goodbye
I guess we lost all track of time
Before we knew it yeah
The night was disappearing way too fast
Like the ice in the bottom of a low ball glass
Flirting with an all in kind of gamble,
Slowly sipping getting tangled up and tipsy
Drinking warm beer and watered down whisky
Watered down whisky
Like the ice in the bottom of a low ball glass
Night was disappearing way too fast
Watered down whisky
Watered down whisky
As Long As There's A Bar lyrics - Terri Clark
If a table's all you've got
I'll take it with a double shot
And keep my eye out for an open spot
'Neath that Old Milwaukee sign
Because when you've just had one of those days
That got off to a real bad start
It's gonna end up ok
As long as there's a bar
As long as there's a two for one
A jukebox and a drinkin' song
A bartender with an ear to bend
You're always gonna find a friend
At a dive on the edge of town or karaoke in a motel lounge
You don't have to look that far
It's alright anywhere
As long as there's a bar
If you wanna celebrate
Or just need to get your head on straight
From Tokyo to LA
You can mend your broken heart
Last call cures anything
The whole world might go insane
But some things will never change
As long as there's a bar
As long as there's a two for one
A jukebox and a drinkin' song
A bartender with an ear to bend
You're always gonna find a friend
At a dive on the edge of town or karaoke in a motel lounge
You don't have to look that far
It's alright anywhere
As long as there's a bar
At an airport killing time
At the beach chasin' salt and lime
No you don't have to look that far
It's alright anywhere
As long as there's a bar
Right Where You Left Me lyrics - Terri Clark
Like the Colorado sky, this heart mine runs wide open
And you can't be still you keep your wheels in motion
So that kiss goodbye, ain't no surprise
When your taillights disappear
I'll be here right where you left me
I remember you and I know you won't forget me
Like a leaving song you keep movin' on
And if you think about me out there, yeah I'll be here
Coffee in a cup, bags in the truck, engine's running
And I wouldn't take it back, baby what we had was something
But some things don't last
And that sun is setting fast
Just put us in the rearview mirror
And I'll be here right where you left me
I remember you and I know you won't forget me
Like a leaving song you keep movin' on
And if you think about me out there, yeah
I'll be here, where you left me
That kiss goodbye, ain't no surprise
When your taillights disappear
I'll be here, right where you left me
I remember you and I know you won't forget me
Like a leaving song you keep movin' on
Baby good luck out there
I'll be here, right where you left me
Where you left me
You Can Have This Town lyrics - Terri Clark
The stoplight at 16th Avenue always took too long
So we'd put it in parked and I'd kiss you
A little white house we never could afford
Said we'd get there and grow old on the front porch
The [?], the corner cafe
Every boulevard carved with our names
And the memories we made
These streets will always be you and me
And it's over now, yeah it's over now
You cover this place like the rain fallin' down
You're all around, you can have this town
I'll take what's left of my heart
And whatever else will fit in the backseat of my car
Get out now before I change my mind
Say goodbye, two us for the last time
These streets will always be you and me
And it's over now, yeah it's over now
You cover this place like the rain fallin' down
You're all around, you can have this town
You can keep the stop signs, the interstate
The people that are gonna talk about us anyway
And every last mile of this place
These streets will always be you and me
And it's over now, yeah it's over now
You cover this place like the rain fallin' down
You're all around, you can have this town
The One That Got Away lyrics - Terri Clark (feat. Drake White)
We've all got that someone
Who slipped right through our hands
An old t-shirt you still wear from time to time
It felt so right, on lonely nights
You wonder what could have been
A heart you can't believe you left behind
I wish you were the one that got away
If you were a memory
I might still be in love with you today
It wouldn't hurt this bad if I was looking back on an old heartache
Oh I wish you were the one that got away
You walk through the door and reach for that first beer
Hit the couch and turn the TV on
And I wake-up beside you and wonder why I'm still here
When everything we used to be is gone
I wish you were the one that got away
If you were a memory
I might still be in love with you today
Wouldn't hurt this bad if I was looking back on an old heartache
Oh I wish you were the one that got away
If you were just a picture
I pulled out of my dresser
To look at every now and then
Something bittersweet
Something I could keep and have fun remembering
It wouldn't hurt this bad
If I was looking back on an old heartache
Oh I wish you were the one that got away
Yeah I wish you were the one that got away
The Encore lyrics - Terri Clark
I remember the first time
That first line
That ever hit me in the gut
I couldn't get enough
How do they say what I can't say
I remember the first time
That first line
I ever wrote
Getting caught up in my throat cuz it hits close to home
I didn't feel so alone
That feeling never goes away
So let's get lost in the crowd together
Leave the walls of the world outside
From the cheap seats
To the front row
We're strangers till the lights go down
Standing on common ground
Standing on common ground
I'll meet you there
Anywhere they'll let me play
Always find a way to get back here again
I'll unpack this bag someday
We got miles to go 'til then
'Til then
So let's get lost in the crowd together
Leave the walls of the world outside
From the cheap seats
To the front row
We're strangers 'til the lights go down
Standing on common ground
Standing on common ground
Oh let's get lost together
Leave the world outside
I'll meet you there
Anywhere they'll let me play
Better Than I Was lyrics - Terri Clark
I've torn down a dirt road knowing that I wasn't supposed to leave
Left an F5 mile wide hell of a lot of hurt behind me
I can't count the times I've left the bottle empty
Chasing down a buzz
I lost myself in places that I know I shouldn't have been
Like a broken record spinning 'round I found trouble again
I've refused some, used some when everybody wanted to be my friend
It was like a drug
Oh but these days
I'm digging in and getting real with all my mistakes
Going easy on myself and finding my way
I ain't there yet
I'm still a little bit messed up
But I'm better than I was
I broke apart and stole some hearts that were never mine
In my life I've learned there's no such thing as a straight line
I weave in and out and on a on a good day I might get it right
Yeah I'm better than I was
Oh but these days
I'm digging in and getting real with all my mistakes
Going easy on myself and finding my way
I ain't there yet
I'm still a little bit messed up
But I'm better than I was
Oh but these days
I'm digging in and getting real with all my mistakes
Going easy on myself and finding my way
I ain't there yet
I'm still a little bit messed up
But I'm better than I was
Little Drummer Boy lyrics - Terri Clark
Come, they told me, pa-rum pum pum pum
Our newborn King to see, pa-rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring, pa-rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King, pa-rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
So to honor Him, pa-rum pum pum pum
When we come
Little baby, pa-rum pum pum pum
I am a poor boy too, pa-rum pum pum pum
I have no gift to bring, pa-rum pum pum pum
That's fit to give our King, pa-rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
Shall I play for you, pa-rum pum pum pum
On my drum?
Mary nodded, pa-rum pum pum pum
The Ox and Lamb kept time, pa-rum pum pum pum
I played my drum for Him, pa-rum pum pum pum
I played my best for Him, pa-rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
Then He smiled at me, pa-rum pum pum pum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
One Drink Ago lyrics - Terri Clark & Dallas Smith
Thank God, I needed that one more whiskey
And somebody bumped you right up against me
And you spilled your drink on my favorite shirt
Had nothing to lose so I dropped that line
That never works
But it worked on you
One drink ago I was playing it cool
You were here with friends, I was shooting pool
Now it's crazy how a "Hey what you having?"
Turned into a "How'd this happen?"
Now the whole night's spinning like an empty bottle
With who knows what else left to follow
It's 3 am, just the two of us
Standing here, wondering how we'll ever live without
What we didn't know
One drink ago
I swear I never saw you coming
Never thought I'd fall like this from me stumbling
Into your glass, into your arms
Now we're under the stars, leaning on the car
In the parking lot, boy look what you started
One drink ago I was playing it cool
You were here with friends, I was shooting pool
Now it's crazy how a "Hey what you having?"
Turned into a "How'd this happen?"
Now the whole night's spinning like an empty bottle
With who knows what else left to follow
It's 3 am, just the two of us
Standing here, wondering how we'll ever live without
What we didn't know
One drink ago
Bet you didn't even know my name
Bet you weren't looking for a heart to tame
And we'd been watching the starlight fade away
One drink ago I was playing it cool
You were here with friends, I was shooting pool
Now it's crazy how a "Hey what you having?"
Turned into a "How'd this happen?"
Now the whole night's spinning like an empty bottle
With who knows what else left to follow
It's 3 am, just the two of us
Standing here, wondering how we'll ever live without
What we didn't know
One drink ago
The Highway lyrics - Terri Clark
I've been sitting here wondering if I'll ever get
Back to those wheels, will I ever be
Changing those strings out before nine
I am wishing for the life that I used to live
Giving everything that I had to give
In a brand new city 'bout every night
Missing those nights, missing that sky, I been missing home
Missing their smiles, missing those miles, I been missing home
Out there on the highway
Out there on the open road
Ooh baby, will you roll with me, roll with me
Head down to New Orleans
I should be wearing out the blacktop
Out there with the boys I love
Everybody will you roll with me, roll with me
Running down this dream
And get me out there on the highway
I've been sitting here asking him every night
For a brand new song and a piece of mind
The road is all I think about these days
All I need is out there, I will be just fine
With a 6 string guitar and a jug of wine
When the lights go down around that stage
Missing those nights, missing that sky, I been missing home
Yeah, I been missing home
Out there on the highway
Out there on the open road
Ooh baby, will you roll with me, roll with me
Head down to New Orleans
I should be wearing out the blacktop
Out there with the boys I love
Everybody will you roll with me, roll with me
Running down this dream
Oh, I miss the sound of rubber rolling out my window
And that crescendo the highway brings
Oh, these wheels are gonna keep spinning me all my days
Out here on the highway...
Roll with me, roll with me
Everybody will you roll with me, roll with me
And get me out there on the highway
This Is My Prairie (Remix) lyrics - Corb Lund, Terri Clark & Brett Kissel
This is my prairie, this is my home
I'll make my stand here, and I'll die alone
They can drill, they can mine o'er my smouldering bones
(Cuz) this is my prairie, this is my home
The water is poison, my calves are all dead
My children are sick, and the river's been bled
They want a big coal mine, right thru Pop's grove
But this is my prairie, this is my home
I can't blame the miners or the guys drivin' truck
For feedin' their families and makin' a buck
But take a close look at the stock that you own
Cuz this is my prairie, this is my home
I don't got the money that lawyers can buy
I don't got my own government's laws on my side
But I still hold the title that my granddaddy owned
And this is my prairie, this is my home
Nîya ôma nitaskî, nîya ôma nîkih
N'ka nipawan ôta n'kapon pimatisin ôta
Kwayask itôta manâcitâ askî
They can drill and they can mine o'er my mouldering bones
(Cuz) this is my prairie, this is my home
This is my prairie, this is my home
I'll make my stand here, and I'll die alone
They can drill and they can mine o'er my mouldering bones
(Cuz) this is my prairie, this is my home
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

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

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
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
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

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
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

And where I go when I go out
And you're sitting here all alone

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

Cause it's workin' on me workin' on me
Better than the whiskey

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
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
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
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
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

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
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
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?
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
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
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
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

She said one thing’s for certain

And throws down the ring as she walks ou the door

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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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…
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.....
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]

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

And then I knew, there was no going back.....

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]
hard to tell the nights from days

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
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
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
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
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 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

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
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
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 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
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

You don't need to know 'em all right now
But I'm learning as I go
And the more I learn I know

Got me a man with a heart of gold

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
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
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
