If I seem like a little too much to handle
If I laugh like an angel on judgment day
If I burn like the sparks of a roman candle
Oh baby you made me that way

If my heart starts to pound like a bass drum drummin'
Like the beat when an old Sun record plays
And if I turn my back when the train is comin'
Oh baby you made me that way

I used to play it safe
Never thinkin' what I might miss
Who knew there'd come a day
I would come alive like this
With just one kiss

If I choose the edge over the middle
If I moan at the sound of a certain name
And if I lean just this side of illegal
Oh baby you made me that way

Well I used to play it safe
Never thinkin' what I might miss
Who knew there'd come a day
I would come alive like this
With just one kiss

If I seem like a little too much to handle
If I laugh like an angel on judgment day
And if I burn like the sparks from a roman candle
Oh baby you made me that way
Well, I'm proud to say
Oh baby you made me that way. (Back to Top)
 

I'll Go Crazy (Back to Top)

But I'll go crazy without you
Insane with a heart so blue
They'll have to lock me away
And I won't last one day
Without you baby
I'll go crazy

I never thought I'd see the day
When I'd have to walk away
But I still think there's a ray of hope 
But you're the one who's letting go
I'll go easily
I'll go where you please

But I'll go crazy without you
Insane with a heart so blue
They'll have to lock me away
And I won't last one day
Without you baby
I'll go crazy

I'll go and take the blame
I'll go down in flames

But I'll go crazy without you
Insane with a heart so blue
They'll have to lock me away
And I won't last one day
Without you baby
I'll go crazy

I'll go crazy
Well, I'll go crazy. (Back to Top)
 

I Miss You the Most  (Back to Top)

And I remember you and me
Drawing hearts in the window steam
Holding on to seventeen
Those days ain’t ever coming back
Swept away by the winds of change
Time only moves one way
Baby out of all the things I’ve had to let go
I miss you the most

Back row of the drive-in in my old coupe
Fumbling through the innocence of my youth
With our initials overlooking the town
Back before they tore the water tower down

And I remember you and me
Drawing hearts in the window steam
Holding on to seventeen
Those days ain’t ever coming back
Swept away by the winds of change
Time only moves one way
Baby out of all the things I’ve had to let go
I miss you the most

Hey I remember you and me
Drawing hearts in the window steam
Holding on to seventeen
Those days ain’t ever coming back
Swept away by the winds of change
Time only moves one way
Baby out of all the things I’ve had to let go
I miss you the most
I’m missin’ you the most. (Back to Top)
 
 
 

I've Learned (Back to Top)

I've learned that the winners don't always have the most talents.
And often the most gifted lives fall out of balance.
And I've learned that you can never lose if you don't give up.
Don't give up.
I know a lot about livin' but I've got so much to learn about love.
Ooh, yes I do.

'Cause when it comes to love,
I get so confused.
Things I say and shouldn't say.
And do and shouldn't do.
I build back walls that I've torn down.
I hide my heart so it can't be found.
I get lost as lost can be.
Still you keep lovin' me.

I've learned that I'm a taker and I need to be a giver.
And I promise you a whole lot more than I deliver.
An' I've learned that forgiveness is a simple gift of grace.
And I know I don't deserve it, but I see it in your face.
I know a lot about livin' but I've got so much to learn about love.
Oh, yes I do. 

'Cause when it comes to love,
I get so confused.
Things I say and shouldn't say.
And do and shouldn't do.
I build back walls that I've torn down.
I hide my heart so it can't be found.
I get lost as lost can be.
Ah, but still you keep lovin' me.
 

I've learned that every day, miracles still happen.
The sweetest music is the sound of children laughin'.
And you should kiss your folks every time you leave 'em.
'Cause you never know, it just might the last time you see 'em.
I know a lot about livin' but I've got so much to learn about love.
Ooh, yes I do. 

I know a lot about livin' but I've got so much to learn about love.
Yes I do.
Yes I do.

I have to learn.
Oh, I have to learn.
Oh, I know a lot about livin' but I've got so much to learn about love.
Yes I Do,  yeah, yeah, yeah. (Back to Top)
 
 

You Won't Ever Be Lonely  (Back to Top)

For as long as I live
There will always be a place you belong
Here beside me
Heart and soul baby -- you only 
And I promise you now you won't ever be lonely

It's still gonna snow and it's still gonna rain
The wind's gonna blow on a cold winter day
And I promise you now you won't ever be lonely
You're safe from the world wrapped in my arms
And I'll never let go
Baby, here's where it starts
And I promise you now you won't ever be lonely
Here's a shoulder you can cry on
And a love you can rely on
For as long as I live 
There will always be a place you belong

Here beside me
Heart and soul baby -- you only 
And I promise you now you won't ever be lonely
No, no, you won't ever be lonely. (Back to Top)
 
 

Waitin' On Sundown (Back to Top)

She came in cryin' this morning at the store
Said, I swear Jimmy, I just can't take no more
So he quit his job and drew his pay
Now he's helpin' Shelby make her getaway

Oh...sittin' on go
Waitin' on sundown
Waitin' on sundown
No more beatin' to be denied
No more bruises that makeup can't hide
All these years she's tried to love that man
But all he ever gave her
Was the back of his hand

Now, Jimmy is a young boy
Just out of his teens
So many things that he still hasn't seen
But he's old enough to know wrong from right
That's why he's helpin' Shelby
Make her break tonight

And oh...sittin' on go
Waitin' on sundown
Waitin' on sundown
Waitin' on sundown
Drove all night drove all day
Jimmy listened to everything Shelby had to say
How she'd suffered at her lover's hand
He said honey I wanna change all that if I can
They pulled over to take a little rest
Shelby put her head down on Jimmy's chest
And she could hear the beatin' of his heart
And it sounded like the rhythm of a brand new start

And oh she's gonna let him know
She's waitin' on sundown
She's just waitin' on sundown
Yeah they're waitin' on sundown
Waitin' on sundown
They're waitin' on sundown. (Back to Top)
 

A Side of Me (Back to Top)

I’ve been known to get a little rowdy
And crazy when I can
I can get a little loud
I get a little lazy
And a little bit out of hand
I got a good side bad side
Sometimes just this side of sanity
But turning my back on you
Is a side of me you’ll never see

I’ve been in the middle
I’ve been on the edge
Been a diamond in the rough
But baby I’ll bet that you can smooth me out
No I'm not perfect
But for what it’s worth
You can count on this boy’s love
I can see where you might have your doubt
But let me tell you what I’m all about

I’ve been known to get a little rowdy
And crazy when I can
I can get a little loud
I get a little lazy
And a little bit out of hand
I got a good side bad side
Sometimes just this side of sanity
But turning my back on you
Is a side of me you’ll never see

Well I’ve been known to get a little rowdy
And crazy when I can
I can get a little loud
I get a little lazy
And a little bit out of hand
I got a good side bad side
Sometimes just this side of sanity
But turning my back on you
Is a side of me you’ll never see
No you’ll never see.  (Back to Top)
 

I Don't Know a Thing  (Back to Top)

Black smoke rolling from my old Rambler
I pulled into Joe’s Auto Supply
Desperate for some kind of answer
Ol’ Joe, he’s a friend of mine
I said, Hey Joe I’ve got a problem
And I told him about what you had done
He looked at me and he shook his head
And said sorry I can’t help you son
I can fix your carburetor
I can rebuild your alternator
I can change the plugs I can change the wires
Replace all four bald tires
I’ve got a warehouse full of parts
But I don’t know a thing about a broken heart
No I don’t know a thing about a broken heart

So I went down to ol’ Doc Miller’s
I told the nurse he just had to see me
He took me in when he heard me tell her
This was an emergency
I said, Oh Doc she really hurt me
And then my tears fell like rain
He said I’ve had at least a million patients
But never one in so much pain 
I could write you a prescription
Give you a straight shot of penicillin
I could run a hundred different tests
Or put a stethoscope to your chest
And if it stops I’ll give you CPR
But I don’t know a thing about a broken heart
No I don’t know a thing about a broken heart

So girl that's how I finally wound up at your door
Hopin' that you had the answers I've been searchin' for
'Cause I don't even have a clue of how I'll ever get over you
So tell me now where do I start
'Cause I don’t know a thing about a broken heart
No I don’t know a thing about a broken heart
Lord I don’t know a thing about a broken heart. (Back to Top)
 
 

Shine On Me (Back to Top)

You changed my life you saved my soul
You let your sweet love shine on me
I found my strength when I lost control
You let your sweet love shine on me
Reflections of the pain and fear
Are closer than they may appear
Almost gone and almost here

Hey let your sweet, sweet love shine love shine down on me
Let your sweet, sweet love shine love shine down on me hey

Even when the skies are gray
You let your sweet love shine on me
You find a way to find a way
To let your sweet love shine on me
You know I’ve built those walls
And sang the blues
Over what this world is coming to
But walls are not enough for stopping you

Hey let your sweet, sweet love shine love shine down on me
Let your sweet, sweet love shine love shine down on me hey

You know I’ve built those walls and sang the blues
Over what this world is coming to
But walls are not enough for stopping you

Hey let your sweet, sweet love shine love shine down on me
Let your sweet, sweet love shine love shine down on me
Let your sweet, sweet love shine love shine down on me
Let your sweet, sweet love shine love shine down on me
Let your sweet, sweet love shine love shine down on me. (Back to Top)
 

She's More   (Back to Top)

I like blue eyes, hers are green
Not like the woman of my dreams
And her hair's not quite as long as I had planned
Five foot three isn't tall
She's not the girl I pictured at all
In those paint by number fantasies I've had

So it took me by complete surprise
When my heart got lost in those deep green eyes
She's not at all what I was looking for 
She's more

No, it wasn't at first sight
But the moment I looked twice
I saw the woman I was born to love
Her laughter fills my soul
And when I hold her I don't wanna let go
When it comes to her I can't get enough

So it took me by complete surprise
When my heart got lost in those deep green eyes
She's not at all what I was looking for 
She's more

More than I dreamed of
More than any man deserves
I couldn't ask for more
Than a love like hers

So it took me by complete surprise
When my heart got lost in those deep green eyes
She's not at all what I was looking for 
She's more. (Back to Top)
 

Ain't Livin' Long Like This  (Back to Top)

I looked for trouble and found it son
Straight down the barrel of a lawman’s gun
I’d try to run but I don’t think I can
If I move I’m a dead man

Ain’t livin’ long like this
I can’t live at all like this can I baby
He slipped the cuffs on behind my back
Then left me freezing on a steel rail rack
They got ‘em all in the jailhouse don’t they baby
I ain’t livin’ long like this
Can’t live at all like this can I baby

Grew up in Houston off a wayside drive
Son of a carhop in an all-night dive
He drove a stock car to an early death
All I remember is a drunk man’s breath
Ain’t livin’ long like this
I can’t live at all like this can I baby

We know the story how the wheel goes ‘round
Don’t let ‘em take you to the man downtown
I can’t sleep at all in the jailhouse can I baby
Ain’t livin’ long like this
I can’t live at all like this can I baby

I live for Angel she’s the roadhouse queen
Make Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee
I want to love her but I don’t know how
I’m at the bottom of the jailhouse now
Ain’t livin’ long like this
I can’t live at all like this can I baby

You know the story ‘bout the jailhouse rock
Go on and do it just don’t get caught
They got ‘em all in the jailhouse don’t they baby
Ain’t livin’ long like this
I can’t live at all like this can I baby

Ain’t livin’ long like this
I swear I can’t live at all like this can I baby
Oh baby
Take it home for me
Ain’t livin’ long like this am I baby. (Back to Top)
 

Ain't Done Nothin' Wrong   (Back to Top)

Ain’t no crime sittin’ at the bar
Sippin’ on a cold draft beer
Or makin’ small talk to a blue-eyed girl
When she asks, what brought you here
You’re just tryin’ to unwind on a Friday night

You see that big ol’ diamond ring
Shinin’ on her left hand
And you don’t bother to ask her why
She ain’t with her man
You ain’t done nothin’ wrong
But you ain’t done nothin’ right

‘Cause the right thing to do is turn yourself around
And point those headlights home
‘Cause you know it’s wrong to carry on
With a woman that ain’t your own
Right now you’re steppin’ on a razor thin line
That ain’t quite black or white
You ain’t done nothin’ wrong
But you ain’t done nothin’ right

Tosses back her hair, and looks in your eyes
And says, I like your smile
If danger were a winding road
Then son you just walked a mile

Then a trouble appears and he’s got you in his sight
And he grabs temptation by the arm
And says, girl, it’s time to go
You can feel the heat from the fire in his eyes
‘Cause just like him you know
You ain’t done nothin’ wrong
But you ain’t done nothin’ right

‘Cause the right thing to do is turn yourself around
And point those headlights home
‘Cause you know it’s wrong to carry on
With a woman that ain’t your own
Right now you’re steppin’ on a razor thin line
That ain’t quite black or white
You ain’t done nothin’ wrong
But you ain’t done nothin’ right

Yeah right now you’re steppin’ on a razor thin line
That ain’t quite black or white
You ain’t done nothin’ wrong
But you ain’t done nothin’ right
You ain’t done nothin’ wrong
But you ain’t done nothin’ right
Ain’t done nothin’ wrong. (Back to Top)
 

Tonight I Wanna Be Your Man   (Back to Top)

Baby light a couple candles
Lock the bedroom door
Put on some sweet soul music
Throw a blanket on the floor
Surrender to my patient hands
All week I've been your husband
Tonight I wanna be your man

It hit me just this morning
When I passed you in the hall
I swear I caught you looking 
Like you don't know me at all
Let me show you who I am
All week I've been your husband
Tonight I wanna be your man

I'll always be your cover when your cold
When the world lines up against you
I'm the safe place you can go
Now and then we need to find some time to be in love
Just be in love

Now the whole world's in bed sleeping
I think we're finally alone
If the telephone starts ringing
We'll pretend like we're not home
Cause any fool would understand
All week I've been your husband
Tonight I wanna be your man

Let me show you who I am
All week I've been your husband 
Tonight I wanna your man

Just forget about that wedding band
All week I've been your husband
Tonight I wanna be your man. (Back to Top)
