Wasted
Standing at the back
door
She tried to make it
fast
One tear hit the hard
wood
It fell like broken glass
She said sometimes love
slips away
And you just can't get
it back
Let's face it
For one split second
She almost turned around
But that would be like
pouring rain drops
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've let all these
years go by
Wasted
Another glass of whisky
but it still don't kill the pain
So he stumbles to the
sink and pours it down the drain
He says it's time to
be a man and stop living for yesterday
Gotta face it.
Cause' I don't wanna'
spend my life jaded
Waiting to wake up one
day and find
That I've let all these
years go by
Wasted
Oh 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 drivin' along
Till 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
Hey, yeah,
Oh, I don't wanna' spend
my life jaded
Waiting to wake up one
day and find
That I've let all these
years go by
Wasted
Oh 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
Oh, I don't wanna' spend
my life jaded
Waiting to wake up one
day and find
That I've let all these
years go by
Wasted
Yeah, yeah
Oh 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
Some Hearts
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, 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, yes
Some hearts,
They just have it so
easy
Some hearts just get
lucky sometimes
Some hearts just get
lucky sometimes
Ohhhhhh
Even hearts like mine
Get lucky, lucky sometimes
Even hearts like mine
Ohhhhhhhh
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
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
Night Before (Life Goes
On)
Sittin up on the roof
Sneakin a smoke by the
chimney
Checkin out the moon
And the city lights
He takes off his flannel
shirt
And drapes it around
her shoulders
Slides up behind her
and holds on tight
And she says
I dont want this night
to end
Why does it have to end
[Chorus:]
Tomorrow she'll be rollin
down I-10
Baton Rouge, LSU
18 years in her rearview
He's got a friday paycheck
lined up down the block
At daddy's shop
It aint much but its
a job
Theyve been dreadin this
moment all summer long
The night before
Life goes on
Oooh
A tear falls off her
cheek and
Right when it hits his
arm he says
Come on baby
Lets get outta here
They take one last drive
around town
And man it
Already looks different
He bangs the wheel and
says
Life aint fair
And this growin up stuff
man I dont know
I just dont wanna let
you go
[Chorus:]
Tomorrow shell be rollin
down I
10 Baton Rouge
LSU
18 years in her rearview
Hes got a friday paycheck
lined up down the block
At daddie shop
It aint much but its
a job
Theyve been dreadin this
moment all summer long
The night before
Life goes on
Yeah thats what my momma
told me
And just like those kids
I didnt wanna listen
to no one
Yea theres nothin you
can do
Theres nothin you can
say
And I know how it feels
when love goes away
[Chorus:]
Tomorrow shell be rollin
down I
10 Baton Rouge
LSU
18 years and hurry ya

Hes got a friday paycheck
lined up down the block
At daddies shop
It aint much but its
a job
Theyve been dreadin this
moment all summer long
But here it is
They dont have long
The night before
Life goes onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Yeah e yeah e yeah e
yeah e yeahhhh
Before He Cheats
Right now he's probably
slow dancing with a bleached-blond 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
up behind her with a pool-stick, showing her how to shoot a combo...
And he don't know...
That I dug my key into
the side of his pretty little suped up 4 wheel drive,
carved my name into his
leather seat...
I took a Louisville slugger
to both head lights,
slashed a hole in all
4 tires...
And maybe next time he'll
think before he cheats
Right now, she's probably
up singing some
white-trash version of
Shania karoke..
Right now, she's probably
saying "I'm drunk"
and he's a thinking that
he's gonna get lucky,
Right now, he's probably
dabbing on 3 dollars worth of that bathroom cologne...
And he don't know...
That I dug my key into
the side of his pretty little suped up 4 wheel drive,
carved my name into his
leather seat,
I took a Louisville slugger
to both head lights,
slashed a hole in all
4 tires...
And maybe next time he'll
think before he cheats.
I might saved a little
trouble for the next girl,
Cause the next time that
he cheats...
Oh, you know it won't
be on me!
Ohh... not on me...
Cause I dug my key into
the side of his pretty little suped up 4 wheel drive,
carved my name into his
leather seat...
I took a Louisville slugger
to both head lights,
slashed a hole in all
4 tires...
Maybe next time he'll
think before he cheats.
Ohh.. Maybe next time
he'll think before he cheats...
Ohh... before he cheats... |
Don't
Forget to Remember Me
18 years have come and
gone
For momma they flew by
But for me they just
drug on and on
We were loading up that
Chevy
Both tryin' not to cry
Momma kept on talking
Putting off good-bye
Then she took my hand
and said
'Baby don't forget
Before you hit the highway
You better stop for gas
There's a 50 in ashtray
In case 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
Telling me I'm on my
own
And just like every Sunday
I called momma up last night
And even when it's not,
I tell her everything's alright
Before we hung up I said
'Hey momma, don't forget
to tell my baby sister I'll see her in the fall
And tell mee-mal that
I miss her
Yeah, I should give her
a call
And make sure you tell
Daddy that I'm still his little girl
Yeah, I still feel like
I'm where I'm supposed to be
Don't forget to remember
me'
Tonight I find myself
kneeling by the bed to pray
I 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 ol' place
I know there are more
important things, but
Don't forget to remember
me
Don't forget to remember
me'
Jesus, Take the Wheel
She was driving last
Friday on her way to Cincinnati
On a snow white Christmas
Eve
Going home to see her
Mama and her Daddy with the baby in the backseat
Fifty miles to go and
she was running low on faith and gasoline
It's been a long hard
year
She had a lot on her
mind and she didn't pay attention
She was going way to
fast
Before she knew it she
was spinning on a thin black sheet of glass
She saw both their lives
flash before her eyes
She didn't even have
time to cry
She was sooo scared
She threw her hands up
in the air
Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this
on my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To 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 the car came to a
stop
She cried when she saw
that baby in the backseat sleeping like a rock
And 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 living my life
I know I've got to change
So from now on tonight
Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this
on my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this
road I'm on
Oh, Jesus take the wheel
Oh, I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
Save me from this road
I'm on
From this road I'm on
Jesus take the wheel
Oh, take it, take it
from me
Oh, why, oh
Lessons Learned
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 cannot undo,
Some things,
I wish I could do all
all over again,
But it doesn't really
matter,
Life gets that much harder,
It makes you that much
stronger,
Oh, some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were,
Lessons learned.
[Chorus:]
And every tear that had
to fall from my eyes,
Everyday I wondered how
I'd get through the night,
Every change, life has
thrown me,
I'm thankful, for every
break in my heart,
I'm grateful, for every
start,
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 rewritten,
You get the life you're
given,
Oh, some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were,
Lessons learned.
[Chorus:]
And every tear that had
to fall from my eyes,
Everyday I wondered how
I'd get through the night,
Every change, life has
thrown me,
I'm thankful, for every
break in my heart,
I'm grateful, for every
start,
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,
Cause it's gone,
And you just gotta move
on,
Because it's all,
Lessons learned.
[Chorus:]
And every tear that had
to fall from my eyes,
Everyday I wondered how
I'd get through the night,
Every change, life has
thrown me,
I'm thankful, for every
break in my heart,
I'm grateful, for every
start,
Some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were lessons
learned,
Oh, some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were lessons
learned,
Lessons learned |
