I was only twelve years old The day was warm, my heart went cold Mama said, your daddy's gone Son, you're gonna have to grow up fast The two of us is all we have I need you to be strong That's the day a boy became a man Every broken road and stepping stone Ha...

I don't need a whole lot of money But I wouldn't turn a lottery down I just need a little green in my pocket So I can buy my buddies a round All I want is a place to lay my head With the woman I love lyin' in my bed Kind of understand My dreams aren't that co...

Lipstick impressions on my white collar shirt Number on a matchbook so I'll get a hold of her Oh, that's all the proof I need I can smell her perfume on my passenger seat A strand of long blonde hair that don't belong to me Oh, it's not a dream I can't belie...

Lazy yellow moon comin' up tonight Shinin' through the trees Crickets are singin' and the lightning bugs are floatin' on the breeze Baby, get ready Across the field where the creek turns back By the ol' stump road I'm gonna take you to a special place that no...

The morning after what have I done? What did I promise? Did I say love? I can't believe, it's come to this All on account of one good night kiss She must have learned how at the movies Only fiction could move me like this She was Cameron Diaz, Julia Roberts...

Some days, blue skies are endless Sometimes rain falls like tears Every day that you're with me Is a day, I'm glad to be here There are high roads, low roads and choices Reasons to doubt and believe But I'll be okay As long as you're right with me When the n...

I've waited all night for this moment To watch the day kiss the darkness goodbye And I barely remember falling asleep But the minute I open my eyes Every dream comes true When I look at you I see heaven, I see an angel Lying here next to me Bring out the best...

You've been livin' way too long in broken promise land Your dreams crushed and scattered like a million grains of sand I'd love to be your redemption but I am just a man I may never be a hero, but I'm a rock you can lean on If I don't love you like you deserv...

I watch the way he looks at you He don't see you like I do He never speaks the words I long to say He don't know that what he's got Is everything I'll ever want I can't keep this inside one more day If you were my girl My feet would never touch the ground If...

Big blue ball floatin' in space Let's get a little better look at this place Move a little closer, water and land Zoom on in, you're gonna see a man There's gonna be a girl, there's gonna be a truck There's gonna be a road where they get stuck Bring it on in,...

I can't believe you're here with me inside this dream come true I'm so gone, I'm so far lost in your arms, in you Here we are again between the darkness and the light Hopin' that this moment could be frozen in time I don't want this night to slip away I just...

Ain't good for your soul to stay on cruise control And let the good times pass you by It's been way too long since we carried on So let's get off this painted pony ride Hop a fence, chase the wind to the wilder side Start livin' it up, throwin' it down, here...

Hey, yeah I feel her hair slap in my face It makes me smile She slides her arms around my waist Tighter every mile Her lips are against my ear I grab the cluth and find a higher gear She said, „Don't look back, I gotcha covered Forget the past, we've got eac...

You oughta be A little more careful baby You know I'm dangerous With my wild imagination You'd better stop right now Yeah, you better, ohh, it's too late That pink cotton candy, the sound of your voice Completely destroys me I've got no choice Yeah, I'm com...

I was bouncing around Like a bottle out on the waves About to go under, about to get swept away Take it from me, I was lost as a man could be You came and you saved A drowning man in an ocean of pain When you gave me your heart to hold onto Baby, I'm rescued...

When I got up this morning, you were still asleep Then the rain tapped on my window, if reminding me To make out a list of every single gift That you give me everyday It's a dream that never dies It's the wonder if your eyes It's the magic in your touch Every...

Barefoot walkin' on a white sand beach Fishin' on a log in a backwoods creek A baby in a month and a baby on her hip And when I kiss her on her lips, it's all Flowers and sunshine Spring, rain in the summer time And I swear I get so high On that sweet natural...
