I don't care about these old socks I'm wearing With holes in the toes I don't mind these worn out coat hangers Hanging up my clothes And I don't care that the phone ain't ringing I ain't scared to be alone And I don't sit around and worry 'bout where T...

I was a lonely woman Mine was a faithless heart Broken, cold, and empty Hiding like a lost child in the dark Your touch was a revelation A light so my eyes could see Love like a new religion Made a true believer out of me Its power brought me to my knees Amen,...

Back where I belong Back inside in the heart That was always true While I was out there playing the fool, playing the fool I wasn't gone that long But baby I was gone Long enough to know That I was wrong for letting you go, letting you go I'm back where I be...

I like chocolate But my hips sure don't I like drinkin' red wine But tomorrow my head sure won't These are just some things I love That are bad for me I like shoppin' But my purse sure don't I like wearin' high heels But tomorrow my feet sure won't These...

Boy have you heard the news They're coming in From miles around Yeah the big show The big top Is back in town And all of the kids Have stars in their eyes Stars in their eyes You and that old guitar You're a round peg In this little town square I've been do...

She laid down in clover Clouds rolling by like a marshmallow parade Gone dreaming, angel with a dirty face The wildest flower the Good Lord ever made Well her teachers called her problem child Her parents never understood Silently she held her breath She knew...

It was as if all the trees that late September Couldn't bear to let go of their leaves And I knew just how they felt Was having trouble letting go myself Cause love at seventeen It's like driving into the sun With no sunglasses on It was shining just for us A...

I want to feel that white hot fire Burnin' in my chest I need long cool wet kisses Who'd want to settle for less I don't know where it's gonna come from But there's gotta be more than this I don't know what path I'll find it on The only thing I'm sure of is I...

Baby, I gotta tell you somethin' You sure look good wearin' nothing but those cotton sheets Smilin' up at me I'll bet the sun is just as surprised As Mr. Moon was last night to find me holdin' you The way I used to do Even though my arms were empty for so long...

Happy hour at the spot 'Round about 5 o'clock That's when their hair comes down It's Janie's birthday She's single again All he said was "I'm sorry" Maybe I'll see you 'round She says "let's all drink a toast to his goodbye" Now that'd just be a waste of good...

You'll find the door wide open I'm all done hoping that you'll change Your mind And I ain't gonna chase you I'm too damn tired And way too far behind (Chorus) So go on Get your leavin' done Get your going gone Don't worry 'bout me I'll be here undoing all you...

A cold cup of coffee And a sad song I turn up the radio And I sing along I know you once you loved me In your own way But when the sun finds your window I'll be miles away And I'm one step ahead of the heartache One foot out the door And it's too late for yo...

There's a whisper on the wind Something's coming 'round the bend There's a new emotion Rising like a river in me There's music in my heart again Playing like a mandoline I can see the sun shining Smell the wild flowers on the breeze You shine new light into t...

I, I know where you've been Where this is gonna go And how it's gonna end He's promised you the moon Gonna steal it from the sky Yeah I heard that one too I know you think things will be different with you But oh, that's what the last girl thought too And if y...

Staring out an open window Breathing deep as the winds of change blow Through my hair Still he's never far behind me Somehow he always finds me No matter where With one hand on my heart And one foot in the door He's reaching in and coming back for more But don...

Sometimes it feels like it's your world And I just rent a room With just a bed and these four walls And a window without a view Down the hall you sit in silence Just like a man But, I can't read your mind if your thoughts Are buried in the sand Baby we're slip...

Well they say that opposites attract I can see it now as I look back If I wanted this, he wanted that We'd bark and hiss, like dogs and cats But the thing that drove me up a tree Was the way he loved to disagree Each time we had a difference of opinion (Choru...

I was trapped in a castle tower Locked up in chains I waited for my prince to save me But he never came I woke up with my heart pounding Convinced that I was cursed I picked up a romance novel And read the last page first Ohhh ohhh woe is me I want to fall...

Some hearts don't get far Like a shooting star they burn out fast Some loves are like worn out shoes You got used to not made to last But our love's as big as the sky A million miles long and just as wide Deeper than the deepest will One little push and then I...

I bought myself some sexy lingerie But I'm gonna take it back 'Cause the only ones who have seen it on me Are the salesgirl and my cat Saturday night and I'm alone again Yeah it's always the same old thing Well that telephone in my left hand Is still waiting o...

I let your kiss Go as far as my lips If you don't mind Let's leave our hearts out of this I'll only let your touch Go as deep as my skin It's the best I got I gave the rest to him But I got just enough anger And I've had just enough wine To let you help me Lov...

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah Well I've landed on my feet again Just like I do every time And if you want to be my friend Treat me right People say I'm so aloof Well it's just because I have learned To stay away from that hot tin roof So I won't get burned Like I cat I'm...

A bird in a cage can't use its wings One day she might refuse to sing You'll find some feathers on the floor and an open door Ooh Ooh whatcha gonna do When your little bird flies away Hey Hey, Ooh Ooh whatcha gonna say Whatcha gonna do When your little...

There's a picture of a happy couple In a frame on a mantle in a house Piece by piece they put their world together Some kids a mortage and a pair of wedding vows She's a mother and a working woman He sweats 9 to 5 with big dreams in his head There's too much m...

I've spent some time on the hurtin' side Of a love that only let me down You've been alone out there on your own Tryin' to find something you never found I thought for sure I had given up 'Til I felt the fire of your touch Love melts even the coldest hearts L...

The rain has stopped fallin' There's a hush in the air You can feel the night holding its breath We've stripped our defenses Our souls are laid bare Let's put our fears to the test (Chorus) Come to me now with a love unafraid Lay your heart down and stay Leav...

It was a happy accident The kind that absolutely makes no sense And if I'd listened to the crowd I wouldn't be with you right now But I couldn't leave well enough alone oh no, but oh What a brilliant mistake A perfect blunder The kind that you make When love...

Hey there little darling It's cold and we've got no place to go I can be your Santa Come stand under the mistletoe I got a feeling it won't take too long For me to find out what list you're on (Chorus) Is it naughty or nice Oh you better check it twice Say...

If I show up ten minutes early baby You can bet that you'll be running behind But it when it comes to loving me now baby I have to say you're right on time and I've never been kissed, never been kissed Never been kissed like this, no, no, no I've never been t...

Your love was reckless baby I fell deep Easy to hold but you were hard to keep You were a heartache waiting to be We took off flying down a dead end street I never knew that love could hurt so bad When you said goodbye with a tip of your hat I watched you lea...

You don't need to talk French To make me giddy You don't need to fly me off to some foreign city You don't need pretty words just to turn my head And you don't need to be a casanova in bed If you're gonna love me Why don't you just do it Come on baby,...

See our picture on the wall Why were we smiling, I just can't seem to recall Remind me Do you see this wedding band Wasn't it once worth more than just gold on my hand Remind me. Chorus: I don't care who's right or wrong But my memory of love is almost gone W...

You don't wanna smile. It's been this way for awhile. Got nothing good to say. Friends are calling. But you don't pick up the phone. You don't wanna laugh. You tore your diary in half. You never leave your room. Your days are cloudy. And you spend your...

In a pair of faded coveralls And her mama's old high heels She wobbles up and takes a shakey bow She smiles a little smile That hides her missing baby tooth And she manages to sing that way some how Why she starts with "Delta Dawn" And goes into "Amazing Gr...

You say my name like you own it You touch my skin like it's yours Love's always here when you want it But while I'm still holding you You're already done the road And while I'm still on fire from your last kiss The sheets are already cold (Chorus) I could spe...

Well he wore my name in a tattoo on his arm, And in a tender voice he said he'd wait for me, Yeah you're dreams are bigger than some red dirt farms, But the grass on the other side ain’t always green. Then, I, said good bye, and on those silver wings he let me...

The air is cooling and the sun's going down The day's been grueling in this dusty old town My body's aching for what you do to me Tenderly tenderly Tenderly tenderly The words are easy when the language is love You know exactly what I'm thinking of My heart...

There was a time Love took my breath away Thought a lack of oxygen meant love was here to stay Now those butterflies Just make my tummy ache And that flutter in my chest ain't nothing but heartache And that big pink bubble Is full of hot air and trouble (Chor...

You waltz into the room Just like you'd never left And for a moment or two I could almost forget You take me in your arms And I fall again That's no way to break a heart You call my name I drop my guard Why can't you play your chosen part And stay away so I c...

Words, they don't mean nothing So tell me why they hurt so much I meant to tell you something It was on the tip of my tongue Words rush by so quickly And it's too late to take them back I tried to say I'm sorry And that goodbye was just an act But all my wor...
