Wasted
(Troy Verges/Marv Green/Hillary Lindsey)
Standing at the back door she tried to make it fast
One tear hit the hardwood, it fell like broken glass
She said sometimes love slips away
And you just can’t get it back lets face it
For one split second she almost turned around
But that would be like pouring raindrops back into a cloud
So she took another step and said
I see the way out and i’m gonna take it
I don’t wanna spend my life jaded, waiting
To wake up one day and find
That i let all of these years go by wasted
Another glass of whiskey, but it still don’t kill the pain
He stumbles to the sink and pours it down the drain
He said it’s time to be a man and stop living for yesterday
Gotta face it
Chorus:
i don’t wanna spend my life jaded, waiting
To wake up one day and find
That i let all of these years go by wasted
I don’t wanna keep on wishing, missing
The still of the morning, the color of the night
I ain’t spending no more time wasted
She kept driving along ‘til the moon and the sun
Were floating side by side
He looked in the mirror and his eyes were clear
For the first time in a while
(Repeat chorus)
Don’t Forget to Remember Me
(Morgan Hayes, Kelley Lovelace, Ashley Gorley)
Eighteen years had come and gone
For Momma they flew by
But for me they drug on and on
We were loadin’ up that Chevy
Both tryin’ not to cry
Momma kept on talkin’ puttin’ off goodbye
Then she took my hand and said
Baby don’t forget
1st Chorus:
Before you hit the highway you better stop for gas
And there’s a fifty in the ashtray if you run short on cash
Here’s a map and here’s a Bible if you ever lose your way
Just one more thing before you leave
Don’t forget to remember me
This downtown apartment sure makes me miss home
And those bills there on the counter
Keep tellin’ me I’m on my own
Just like every Sunday I called Mama up last night
And even when it’s not I tell her everything’s all right
Before we hung up I said
Hey Mama don’t forget
2nd Chorus:
To tell my baby sister I’ll see her in the fall
Tell Mama that I miss her yeah I should giver her a call
And make sure that you tell daddy that I’m still his little girl
Yeah I still feel like I’m where I’m supposed to be
But don’t forget to remember me
Bridge:
Tonight I find myself kneelin’ by the bed to pray
Haven’t done this in a while so i don’t know what to say
But Lord I feel so small sometimes in this big old place
Yeah I know there’s more important things
But don’t forget to remember me
Some Hearts
(Words and music by Diane Warren)
I've never been the kind that you'd call lucky
Always stumbling' around in circles
But I must have stumbled into something
Look at me
Am I really alone with you
I wake up feeling like my life's worth living
Can't recall when I last felt that way
Guess it must be all this love you're giving
Never knew never knew it could be like this
But I guess
Some hearts
They just get all the right breaks
Some hearts have the stars on their side
Some hearts,
they just have it so easy
Some hearts just get lucky sometimes
Some hearts just get lucky sometimes
Now who'd have thought someone like you could love me
You're the last thing my heart expected
Who'd have thought I'd ever find somebody
Someone who someone who makes me feel like this
Well I guess
Some hearts
They just get all the right breaks
Some hearts have the stars on their side
Some hearts,
they just have it so easy
Some hearts just get lucky sometimes
Some hearts just get lucky sometimes
Even hearts like mine
Get lucky, lucky sometimes
Some hearts
They just get all the right breaks
Some hearts have the stars on their side, yes
Some hearts
They just have it so easy
Some hearts just get lucky sometimes
Some hearts just get lucky sometimes
Jesus, Take the Wheel
(James/Lindsey/Sampson)
She was drivin' last friday on her way to cincinnati
On a snow white Christmas Eve
Goin' home to see her Momma and her Daddy
With her baby in a back seat
Fifty miles to go and she was runnin' low
On faith and gasoline
It'd been a long hard year
She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention
She was goin' way too fast
Before she knew it she was spinnin on thin black sheet of glass
She saw both their lives flash before her eyes
She didn't even have time to cry
She was so scared, she threw her hands up in the air
(Chorus)
Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
'Cause I can't do this on my own
I'm letting go
Give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on
Jesus take the wheel
It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder and that car came to a stop
She cried when she saw that baby in the back seat sleepin' like a rock
For the first time in a long time she bowed her head to pray
She said I'm sorry for the way
I've been livin' my life
I know I've got to change
So from now on tonight
(Repeat chorus)
The Night Before (Life Goes On)
(Wendell Mobley/Neil Thrasher/Jimmy Olander)
Sitting up on the roof sneaking a smoke by the chimney
Checking out the moon and the city lights
Takes off his flannel shirt drapes it around her shoulders
Slides up behind her and holds on tight (and she says)
I don’t want this night to end… why does it have to end
Chorus:
Tomorrow she’ll be rolling down I-10
Baton Rouge LSU eighteen years in her rearview
He’s got a Friday paycheck lined up
Down the block Daddy’s shop it ain’t much but it’s a job
They’ve been dreading this moment all summer long
The night before life goes on
A tear falls off her cheek right when it hits his arm (he says)
C ’mon baby let’s get out of here
They take one last drive round town man it already looks different
He bangs the wheel says “Life Ain’t Fair”
This growing up stuff man I don’t know…just don’t wanna let you go
Bridge:
That’s what my mama told me and just like those kids I didn’t
I didn’t wanna listen to no one
There’s nothing you can do nothing you can say I know how it feels
When love goes away
Repeat chorus
Outro:
They’ve been dreading this moment all summer long
But here it is they don’t have long…the night before life goes on
Lessons Learned
(Words & Music by Diane Warren)
There’s some things that I regret
Some words I wish had gone unsaid
Some starts that had some better endings
Been some bad times I ’ve been through
Damage I could not undo
Some things I wish I could do all all over again
But it don’t really matter
When life gets that much harder
It makes you that much stronger, oh
Some pages turned, some bridges burned
But there were lessons learned
From every tear that had to fall from my eyes
From every day I wondered how I’d get through the night
From every change life has thrown me
I’m thankful for every break in my heart
I’m grateful for every scar
Some pages turned, some bridges burned
But there were lessons learned
There’s mistakes that I have made
Some chances I just threw away
Some roads I never should’ve taken
Been some signs I didn’t see
Hearts that I hurt needlessly
Some wounds that I wish I could have one more chance to mend
But it don’t make no difference
The past can’t be re-written
You get the life you’re given, oh
Some pages turned, some bridges burned
But there were lessons learned
From every tear that had to fall from my eyes
From every day I wondered how I’d get through the night
From every change life has thrown me
I’m thankful for every breath in my heart
I’m grateful for every scar
Some pages turned, some bridges burned
But there were lessons learned
And all the things that break you
Are all the things that make you strong
You can’t change the past coz it’s gone
And you gotta just move on
It’s all lessons learned
Bridge with new changes:
and all the things that break you
Are all the things that make you strong
You can’t change the past cuz it’s gone
You just gotta move on
Because it’s all lessons learned
Before He Cheats
(Chris Tompkins/Josh Kear)
Right now he’s probably slow dancing
With that bleach blonde tramp
And she’s probably getting frisky
Right now he’s probably buying her some fruity little drink
‘Cause she can’t shoot whiskey
Right now he’s probably behind her with a pool stick showing
Her how to shoot a combo
And he don’t know
Chorus:
i dug my key into the side
Of his pretty little suped up four wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seats
Took a Louisville slugger to both headlights
Slashed a hole in all four tires
Maybe next time he’ll think before he cheats
Right now she’s probably up singing some white trash version of Shania karaoke
Right now she’s probably saying I ’m drunk and he’s thinking that he’s gonna get lucky
Right now he’s probably dabbing on three dollars worth of that bathroom polo
And he don’t know
Repeat chorus:
I mighta saved a little trouble for the next girl
‘Cause the next time that he cheats
You know it won’t be on me
Chorus
Starts with Goodbye
(Angelo/Hillary/Lindsey)
I was sitting on my doorstep
Hung up the phone and it fell out of my hand
But i knew i had to do it
And he wouldn’t understand
So hard to see myself without him
I felt a piece of my heart break
But when you’re standing at a crossroad
There’s a choice you gotta make
Chorus:
i guess it’s gonna have to hurt
I guess i’m gonna have to cry
And let go of some things i’ve loved
To get on to the other side
I guess it’s gonna break me down
Like falling when you’re trying to fly
It’s sad, but moving on with the rest of your life
Starts with goodbye
I know there’s a blue horizon
Somewhere up ahead just waiting for me
But getting there means leaving things behind
Sometimes life’s so bittersweet
(Repeat chorus)
Time heals the wounds you feel somehow
But right now
(Repeat chorus)
I Just Can’t Live a Lie
(Hector/Robson)
Lately, nothing I do ever seems to please you
And maybe turning my back would be that much easier,
Cause hurtful words are all that we exchange
But I can’t watch you walk away
Could I forget about the way it feels to touch you?
And all about the good times that we’ve been through?
Could I wake up without you everyday, would I let you walk away?
No I can’t learn to live without
And I can’t give up on us now.
Chorus:
Oh, I know I could say we’re through
And tell myself I’m over you
But even if I made a vow
A promise not to miss you
Now and try to hide the truth inside
I fail cause I just can’t live a lie
Verse 2:
Could I forget the look that tells me that you want me?
And all the reasons that make loving you so easy,
The kiss that always makes it hard to breathe,
The way you know just what I mean,
No I can’t learn to live without, oh,
So don’t you give up on us now.
Chorus:
Oh, I know I could say we’re through
And tell myself I’m over you
But even if I made a vow
A promise not to miss you
Now and try to hide the truth inside
I fail cause I just can’t live a lie
(Instrumental)
And I don’t wanna try
When I try to hide the truth inside
I fail cause I just can’t live a lie
I can’t live a lie
I can’t live a lie
We’re Young and Beautiful
(Rivers Rutherford/Steve While Mcewan)
While we’re young and beautiful
Kiss me like you mean it
Treat me like I ’m special
Cover me with sweetness
Cause the time will come when we’re not so young and beautiful
While we’re young and beautiful
Livin’ free and easy
Here without a worry
Dancin’ in our barefeet
Cause when the summer’s done
We might not be so young and beautiful
Chorus:
It’s a crazy ride, baby you and I
are keepin’ our sweet love alive tonight
While we’re young and beautiful
While we’re young and beautiful
We’ll party down on main street
Wearing next to nothin’
Feelin’ every heartbeat
Having fun
While we’re still young and beautiful
(Repeat chorus)
Beautiful, beautiful young and beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful young and beautiful
(Repeat chorus)
That’s Where It Is
(Melissa Peirce/Steve Robson/Greg Becker)
In the circles I've been runnin'
I've covered many miles
And if I could search forever
For what's right before my eyes
Just when I thought I'd found it
It wasn't nothing like I'd planned
And when I got my heart around it
It slipped right through my hands
Here with you I feel it
Close my eyes and see it
In a midnight talk
In a morning kiss
When I'm in your arms
That's where it is
When we're tangled up
And can't resist
When we feel that rush
That's where it is.......That's where it is
When I'm crashing through the madness
Not sure who I'm supposed to be
When I'm caught up in the darkness
It's your hand that's leading me
You bring me back to solid ground
You lift me up right here, right now
Bridge:
it's a lifetime filled
With tiny graces
The biggest things
In the smallest places
Last chorus:
in the sweetest smile
On a night like this
In a tender touch
That's where it is
When we're tangled up
And can't resist
When we fill that rush
That's where it is....That's where it is
Whenever You Remember
(Words & music by Diane Warren)
When you look back on times we had
I hope you smile
And know that through the good and through the bad
I was on your side
When nobody could hold us down
We claimed the brightest star
And we, we came so far
And no they won’t forget, yeah
Whenever you remember times gone by
Remember how we held our heads so high
When all this world was there for us
And we believed that we could touch the sky
Whenever you remember I’ll be there
Remember how we reached that dream together
Whenever you remember
When you think back on all we’ve done
I hope you’re proud
When you look back and see how far we’ve come
It was our time to shine
And nobody could hold us down
They thought they’d see us fall
But we, we stood so tall
And no we won’t forget, yeah
Whenever you remember times gone by
Remember how we held our heads so high
When all this world was there for us
And we believed that we could touch the sky
Whenever you remember I’ll be there
Remember how we reached that dream together
Whenever you remember
We claimed the brightest star
And we, we came so far
You know that we, we showed them all
And no they won’t forget, yeah
Whenever you remember times gone by
Remember how we held our heads so high
When all this world was there for us
And we believed that we could touch the sky
Whenever you remember I’ll be there
Remember how we reached that dream together
Whenever you remember
Whenever you remember times gone by
Remember how we reached that dream together
Whenever you remember
I Ain’t In Checotah Anymore
(Word & Music By Carrie Underwood, Trey Bruce, Angelo)
Where 69 meets 40
There's a single stop light town
And back when I was really young
Part of that burned down
On any given Friday nite
We'd drive a hundred miles
Between the Sonic and the grocery store
Laugin' all the while
With as many friends as I could pack
In my Daddy's Ford
But I ain't in Checotah anymore
My hotel in Manhattan
Holds more people than our town
And what I just paid for dinner
Would be a down payment on a house
I'd rather be tippin' cows in Tulsa
Than hailin' cabs here in New York
But I ain't in Checotah anymore
In a world of long red carpets
The bright lights of Hollywood
All the paparazzi flashin'
Can make a girl feel pretty good
You can get anything you want here
Except a Walmart store
But I ain't in Checotah anymore
Chorus:
I'm in a world so wide
It makes me feel small sometimes
I miss the big blue sky
The Oaklohoma kind
Bridge:
Where the Wildcats beat Iron Heads
Old settler's day and the Okra fest
After prom down at the bowlin lanes
Catchin' crape fish in Eufaula Lake
"Inside Your Heaven"
I've been down
Now I'm blessed
I felt a revelation coming around
I guess its right, it's so amazing
Everytime I see you I'm alive
You're all I've got
You lift me up
The sun and the moonlight
All my dreams are in your eyes
I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
Where the storm blows your way
I wanna be the earth that holds you
Every bit of air you're breathin' in
A soothin' wind
I wanna be inside your heaven
When we touch, when we love
The stars light up
The wrong becomes undone
Naturally, my soul surrenders
The sun and the moonlight
All my dreams are in your eyes
And I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
Where the storm blows you away
And I wanna be the earth that holds you
Every bit of air you're breathing in
A soothing wind
I wanna be inside your heaven
When minutes turn to days and years
If mountains fall, I'll still be here
Holdin you until the day I die
And I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
Where the storm blows you away
I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
Where the storm blows you away
I wanna be the earth that holds you
Every bit of air you're breathin' in
A soothin' wind
I wanna be inside your heaven
Oh yes I do
I wanna be inside your heaven
