You Can't Stay lyrics - Deana Carter
I wasn’t built for the back burner
Don’t try to save me for a rainy day
You come in like a thunderstorm
You blow out like a hurricane (you’re like a hurricane)…
WHY DO YOU SAY GOODBYE, THEN STAY A LITTLE LONGER
I CAN’T EVEN CLOSE THE DOOR
WHY DO YOU MAKE ME CRY THEN TAKE AWAY YOUR SHOULDER
I DON’T WANNA LIVE ALONE ANYMORE.
I did all I could to treat you good
I never even took a holiday
But now I’m saying all the things I should
It’s time to shoot it straight (it’s time to shoot it straight)…
WHY DO YOU SAY GOODBYE, THEN STAY A LITTLE LONGER
I CAN’T EVEN CLOSE THE DOOR
WHY DO YOU MAKE ME CRY THEN TAKE AWAY YOUR SHOULDER
I DON’T WANNA LIVE ALONE ANYMORE
THE TRUTH IS THERE’S SOMEONE WAITING
AND I DON’T WANT TO TURN HIM AWAY
SO YOU CAN’T STAY.
[solo]
WHY DO YOU SAY GOODBYE, THEN STAY A LITTLE LONGER
I CAN’T EVEN CLOSE THE DOOR
WHY DO YOU MAKE ME CRY THEN TAKE AWAY YOUR SHOULDER
I DON’T WANNA LIVE ALONE ANYMORE
THE TRUTH IS THERE’S SOMEONE WAITING
AND I DON’T WANT TO TURN HIM AWAY
SO YOU CAN’T STAY.
You had my heart but you let it slip away
Now you’re coming back around and you can’t stay.
Before You Left lyrics - Deana Carter
I tried to stop you but you're already gone
If I could catch you and tell you I was wrong
Maybe my whole world wouldn't fall apart
Maybe you'd open up your broken heart
What have I done?
How could I let something so beautiful
Slip through my hands
Now all I've got is all of this regret
I thought I wanted to leave
But that was before you left
I didn't always love you the best that I knew how
That's the thing about the quiet, I can hear you now
I didn't know how much a heart could take
Till I watched you walk away
What have I done?
How could I let something so beautiful
Slip through my hands
Now all I've got is all of this regret
I thought I wanted to leave
But that was before you left
What have I done?
How could I let something so beautiful
Slip through my hands
Now all I've got is all of this regret
I thought I wanted to leave
But that was before you left
I Know Better lyrics - Deana Carter
I met up with my old friend today
She said she finally set the date
It’s been a long time coming, it may seem sudden
But when you know you know…
She went on and on about her man
As she flashed the ring that’s on her hand
And just before we left, she smiled at me and said…
[CHORUS:]
SHE KNOWS HE’S STRONG
SHE KNOWS HE’S WEAK TOO
SHE KNOWS HE’S GOOD
HE’S JUST SO GOOD, HE’LL ALWAYS COME THROUGH
SHE KNOWS HE’S TRUE, DOWN TO THE LETTER
SHE KNOWS HE’S FAITHFUL…
BUT I KNOW BETTER.
I could barely catch my breath
Or stop the pounding in my chest
When she said his name I saw the picture change
‘Cause when you know you know…
How ya gonna break it to a friend
And go diggin’ up all that dirt again?
Do I let his colors show? Does she need to know?…
[CHORUS REPEAT]
[solo]
Sometimes people change
I sure hope they don’t stay the same
Sometimes people change…
[CHORUS REPEAT]
…SHE KNOWS HE’S FAITHFUL, SHE KNOWS HE’S FAITHFUL
I'll Save My Love For You lyrics - Deana Carter
With every passing day, no matter where you are
I know you’re on your way and I count my lucky stars
A song begins to play and it’s coming from my heart
From my heart…
I’LL WAIT LIKE THE SUMMER WAITS TILL ALL THE FLOWERS BLOOM
‘CAUSE ONE DAY COULD BE TOO SOON
I’LL WAIT LIKE THE WINTER WAITS FOR ALL THE LEAVES TO FALL
I’LL SAVE MY LOVE FOR YOU.
If I could change the tide to get you next to me
I would sing a lullaby and before we fell asleep
We would stop the hands of time…
SO I’LL WAIT LIKE THE SUMMER WAITS TILL ALL THE FLOWERS BLOOM
‘CAUSE ONE DAY COULD BE TOO SOON
I’LL WAIT LIKE THE WINTER WAITS FOR ALL THE LEAVES TO FALL
I’LL SAVE MY LOVE FOR YOU.
[SOLO]
[BREAKDOWN CHORUS first half]
SO I’LL WAIT LIKE THE SUMMER WAITS TILL ALL THE FLOWERS BLOOM
‘CAUSE ONE DAY COULD BE TOO SOON
I’LL WAIT LIKE THE WINTER WAITS FOR ALL THE LEAVES TO FALL
I’LL SAVE MY LOVE FOR YOU.
I’LL SAVE THIS LOVE FOR YOU.
I Don't Want To lyrics - Deana Carter
Just looking in your eyes, I can see that something’s changed
I can’t forget the last time that you looked at me that way
Those roses on the dresser should bear someone else’s name
I know it and you know it…
[CHORUS:]
LOVE YOU? WHY WOULD I WANT TO
TRY TO MAKE BELIEVE IN A SHIP THAT’S ONLY SINKING
TO NEED YOU WHEN I WANNA LEAVE YOU
ONLY MAKES IT HARDER TO TRY TO START TO LOVE YOU
WHEN I DON’T WANT TO.
I look around our room and some things are out of place
Your shirt) is wrinkled on the floor and there’s a missing picture frame
I know I’m home a little early, tell me why the bed is made?
You know it and I know it…
[CHORUS]
[SOLO]
Those roses on the dresser should bear someone else’s name
You know it and I know it…
[CHORUS]
That's Just Me lyrics - Deana Carter
There’s a burned out bulb on the Cafe' sign
Feels just like this heart of mine
When I untie these apron strings
Tonight I’m gonna spread my wings
Everytime I fill a coffee cup
I wonder if it’s ever gonna be enough…
BUT IT’S NOT THE CROWN THAT MAKES THE QUEEN
YOU DON’T HAVE TO CLOSE YOUR EYES TO DREAM
I LIKE TO LIVE SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN,
SINGING LA LA LA LA LA LA LA
BUT THAT’S JUST ME.
It doesn’t matter where you are
As long as you can see some stars
What’s the point in a pot of gold
If you haven’t got a hand to hold
Everytime that I’ve had to choose
I feel a little richer when I’ve got nothing to lose…
‘CAUSE IT’S NOT THE CROWN THAT MAKES THE QUEEN
YOU DON’T HAVE TO CLOSE YOUR EYES TO DREAM
AND I’VE LEARNED TO LIVE SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN,
SINGING LA LA LA LA LA LA
BUT THAT’S JUST ME.
Heaven ain’t behind some pearly gate
And you don’t have to die just to get a little taste…
‘CAUSE IT’S NOT THE CROWN THAT MAKES THE QUEEN
YOU DON’T HAVE TO CLOSE YOUR EYES TO DREAM
JUST LEARN TO LIVE SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN
SINGING LA LA LA LA LA LA LA
BUT THAT’S JUST ME.
THAT’S JUST ME.
Waiting For You To Come Home lyrics - Deana Carter
I’M WAITING FOR YOU TO COME HOME
I woke up today in the strangest of places
It’s hard to explain when you’re left with just traces
Of someone you love, someone you love…
All I can say is now I need a reason
To not be afraid of something to believe in…
IT’S ALL CAN I DO
NOT TO BE BROKEN-HEARTED?
SO, ME AND THE MOON
WE WALK THROUGH THE GARDEN
IT’S NOT BEEN LONG SINCE YOU’VE BEEN GONE
I’M WAITING FOR YOU TO COME HOME.
When the world starts to turn a little bit different
That’s when you learn just what you’re missing
And it’s someone you love, someone you love…
IT’S ALL CAN I DO
NOT TO BE BROKEN-HEARTED?
SO, ME AND THE MOON
WE WALK THROUGH THE GARDEN
IT’S NOT BEEN LONG SINCE YOU’VE BEEN GONE
I’M WAITING FOR YOU TO COME HOME.
[SOLO]
ALL I CAN DO
IS GO BACK WHERE WE STARTED
WHEN JUST ME AND YOU
WOULD WALK THROUGH THE GARDEN
I WROTE THIS SONG SINCE YOU’VE BEEN GONE
I’M WAITING FOR YOU TO COME HOME.
I Barely Knew lyrics - Deana Carter
I'm standing in the door with a suitcase in my hand
Looking at the floor, still trying to understand
How one split second, just a moment in time
Can rattle my faith and the meaning of life
How do I face this world without you
I thought about the pain of losing you
Until today, I barely knew
It's hard to see a blessing coming true
I rarely do, I barely knew
I'm sitting on a plane like a million times before
Nothing is the same and it's time to close the door
There's no way out of the state I'm in
We can't go back to where we've been
Without you I've got so much to lose
I thought about the pain of losing you
Until today, I barely knew
It's hard to see a blessing coming true
I rarely do, I barely knew
People tell you how it's gonna be
But I never found it out till it was happening to me
I thought about the pain of losing you
Until today, I barely knew
It's hard to see a blessing coming true
I rarely do, I barely knew
Why can't I see a blessing coming true
I never do, I barely knew
Do Or Die lyrics - Deana Carter
I’m sitting in the middle of the kitchen floor
Wondering how I’m gonna make it to the store
Trying to make it through another week I didn’t get paid
I feel a little hand rest on my sleeve
My little boy’s voice so soft and sweet
Says, “Momma, we got all we need…we’re gonna be ok”
How we learn to live without is when we learn to live…
[CHORUS:]
SO DO OR DIE, LAUGH OR CRY
THIS IS JUST A TEMPORARY STORM THAT’S BLOWING BY
SINK OR SWIM, LOSE OR WIN
IT TAKES THE EXTRAORDINARY TO CHANGE THE WORLD WE’RE IN
I CAN SIT AROUND AND THINK ABOUT ALL THE REASONS WHY
OR JUST DO OR DIE.
I heard about a Man from Galilee
Who laid down His life for you and me
And never said a word about the pain
Man, I wanna feel love like that
And the will to give away everything I have
And find some peace in my heart and not complain
When we learn to love like that is when we learn to live…
[CHORUS REPEAT]
[SOLO]
[CHORUS REPEAT]
WE CAN SIT IT OUT OR TURN AROUND AND GIVE IT ONE MORE TRY
‘CAUSE IT’S DO OR DIE.
I’m sitting in the middle of the kitchen floor
Wondering how I’m gonna make it to the store….
It’s do or die.
Southern Way Of Life lyrics - Deana Carter
Let me tell you a little story…
When I was a girl growing up in the South
Wild as a March hare, trying to figure things out
Back when the Black-eyed peas were something you put in your mouth
Yeah, you know what I’m talking about…
We were told to either fish or cut bait,
Can’t never could and it don’t pay to be late
When you’re a sight for sore eyes, it’s good to see your face
You know what I’m talking about…
[CHORUS:]
WE LIKE OUR LOVING UNDER THE STARS UP IN THE SKY
IF ONE’S IN THE OVEN, YOU STILL GET SERVICE WITH A SMILE
IF WE HAD OUR DROTHERS WE’D RATHER WALK A COUNTRY MILE
YOU CATCH MORE BEES WITH HONEY THAN WITH MONEY
IT’S THE SOUTHERN WAY OF LIFE (SIMPLE LIFE )……(DO WHAT?)
Living in high cotton is the way it should be
Two peas in a pod means you’re hanging with me
If you’re pointing a finger you’re barking up the wrong tree
You know what I’m talking about…
[CHORUS]
We’re fixin’ to get with it, there’s hoe cakes in the kitchen
You can fetch ‘em if you want ‘em, I reckon it’s time for supper
When you’re smack dab in the middle of some high falutin quibble
No need to start a ruckus or get all cattywampus…
Crying lyrics - Deana Carter
I was all right for awhile
I could smile for awhile
But I saw you last night
You held my hand so tight
As you stopped to say, "Hello"
Oh, you wished me well
You, you couldn't tell
That I'd been crying over you
Crying over you
When you said, "So long"
Left me standing all alone
Alone and crying, crying
Crying, crying
It's hard to understand
But the touch of your hand
Can start me crying
I thought that I was over you
But it's true, so true
I love you even more
Than I did before
But, darling, what can I do?
For you don't love me
And I'll always be crying over you
Crying over you
Yes, now you're gone
And from this moment on
I'll be crying, crying
Crying, crying
Yeah, crying, crying
Over you
Help Me Make It Through The Night lyrics - Deana Carter (with Kris Kristofferson)
Take the ribbon from my hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Layin' soft upon your skin
Like the shadows on the wall
Come and lay down by my side
Till the early mornin' light
All I'm takin' is your time
Help me make it through the night
I don't care what's right or wrong
I don't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
'Cause tonight I need a friend
But yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night
I don't care what's right or wrong
I don't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
'Cause tonight I need a friend
'Cause yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night
I don't wanna be alone
Help me make it through the night
Love Is Like A Butterfly lyrics - Deana Carter (with Dolly Parton)
Love is like a butterfly
As soft and gentle as a sigh
The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings
Love makes your heart feel strange inside
It flutters like soft wings in flight
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing
I feel it when you're with me
It happens when you kiss me
That rare and gentle feeling that I feel inside
Your touch is soft and gentle
Your kiss is warm and tender
Whenever I am with you I think of butterflies
Love is like a butterfly
The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings
Love makes your heart feel strange inside
It flutters like soft wings in flight
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing
Your laughter brings me sunshine
Everyday is spring time
And I am only happy when you are by my side
How precious is this love we share
How very precious, sweet and rare
Together we belong like daffodils and butterflies
Love is like a butterfly
As soft and gentle as a sigh
The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings
Love makes your heart feel strange inside
It flutters like soft wings in flight
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing
The Boxer lyrics - Deana Carter (with Harper Simon and Paul Simon)
I am just a poor boy
Though my story is seldom told
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocketful of mumbles, such are promises
All lies and jest
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest
When I left my home and my family
I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station, runnin' scared
Layin' low, seekin' out the poorer quarters
Where the ragged people go
Lookin' for the places, only they would know
Lie-la-lie
Asking only workman's wages
I come lookin' for a job
But I get no offers, just a come on
From the whores on Seventh Avenue
I do declare there were times
When I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Lie-la-lie
And I'm layin' out my winter clothes
And wishin' I was gone, goin' home
Where the New York City winters aren't bleedin' me
Leadin' me home, goin' home
In the clearing stands
A boxer and a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of every glove that laid him down
Or cut him 'til he cried out
In his anger and his shame
"I am leavin', I am leavin'"
But the fighter still remains, still remains
Lie-la-lie
Lay Lady Lay lyrics - Deana Carter
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Whatever colors you have in your mind
I'll show them to you and you'll see them shine
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Until the break of day, let me see you make him smile
His clothes are dirty but his hands are clean
And you're the best thing that he's ever seen
Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Why wait any longer for your world to begin
You can have your cake and eat it too
Why wait any longer for the one you love
When he's standing in front of you
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead
I long to see you in the morning light
I long to reach for you in the night
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead
The Weight lyrics - Deana Carter
I pulled into Nazareth just a feelin' 'bout a half past dead
I just need to find a place where I can lay my head
Mister can you tell me where a man might find a bed?
He just grinned and shook my hand and "No" was all he said
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And you put the load right on me
I picked up my bag and went lookin' for a place to hide
When I saw old Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side
And I said, "Hey Carmen, come on will you go downtown?"
She said, "Well I gotta go but my friend can stick around anyhow"
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And you put the load right on me
Go down Miss Moses, ain't nothin' that you can say
'Cause is just old Luke and Luke's waitin' on the judgment day
Well now Luke my friend, what about young Anna Lee?
He said, "Do me a favor son
Won't you stay and keep Anna Lee company?"
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And you put the load right on me
Crazy Chester followed me yeah, and he caught me in the fog
He said, "I would fix your rack, oh yeah if you'll just take Jack, my dog"
I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, you know I am a peaceful man"
He said, "That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can?"
Won't ya take a load off Fanny?
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And you put the load right on me
Catch a cannon ball now, to take me down the line
'Cause my bag is sinkin' low and I do believe it's time
To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone
I want you to take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And you put the load right on me
I'm Not Lisa lyrics - Deana Carter (with Jessi Colter)
I'm not Lisa, my name is Julie
Lisa left you years ago
My eyes are not blue but mine won't leave you
'Til the sunlight has touched your face
She was your morning light
Her smile told of no night
Your love for her grew
With each rising sun
And then one winter day
His hand led hers away
She left you here drowning
In your tears here
Where you've stayed for years
Crying Lisa, Lisa
I'm not Lisa, my name is Julie
Lisa left you years ago
My eyes are not blue but mine won't leave you
'Til the sunlight shines through your face
Swinging lyrics - Deana Carter (with John Anderson)
There's a little girl
In our neighborhood
Her name is Charlotte Johnson
And she's really looking good
I had to go and see her,
So I called her on the phone
I walked over to her house,
And this was going on
Her brother was on the sofa
Eating chocolate pie
Her momma was in the kitchen
Cutting chicken up to fry
Her daddy was in the backyard
Rolling up a garden hose
I was on the porch with Charlotte
Feeling love down to my toes
And they were swinging
Yeah they were swinging
Little Charlotte she's as pretty as the angels when they sing
I can't believe I'm out here on the front porch in this swing
Just a-swinging
Now Charlotte's she's a darling,
She's the apple of my eye
And when I'm on the swing with her it
She makes me almost high
And Charlotte is my lover
And she has been since the spring
I just can't believe it started
On her front porch in this swing
A-just a swinging, just a swinging
Little Charlotte she's as pretty as the angels when they sing
I can't believe I'm out here on the front porch in this swing
Just a-swinging
Little Charlotte she's as pretty as the angels when they sing
I can't believe I'm out here on the front porch in this swing
Just a-swinging
Yeah we were swinging
I see him swinging
Just swinging
On The Road Again lyrics - Deana Carter (with Willie Nelson)
Woah, all I want is on the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
On the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
On the road again
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world be runnin' our way
And our way is on the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music for my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
And on the road again
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world be runnin' our way
And our way is on the road again
I can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
I can't wait to get on the road again
I can't wait to get on the road
Good Hearted Woman lyrics - Deana Carter (with Shooter Jennings)
A long time forgotten are dreams that just fell by the way
And the good life he promised ain't what she's living today
But she never complains of the bad times or the bad things he's done
She just talks about the good times they've had and all the good times to come
She's a good hearted woman in love with a good timin' man
And she loves him in spite of his ways that she don't understand
And through teardrops and laughter they'll pass through this world hand in hand
This good hearted woman in love with her good timin' man
Now he likes the night life and bright lights and good timin' friends
And when the party's all over she'll welcome him back home again
Though she don't understand him but she does the best that she can
This good hearted woman in love with her good timin' man
She's a good hearted woman,
She's a good hearted woman
He Still Thinks I Care lyrics - Deana Carter (with George Jones)
Just because I ask a friend about him
Just because I spoke his name somewhere
Just because I rang his number by mistake today
He thinks I still care
Just because I haunt the same old places
Where the mem'ry of him lingers everywhere
Just because I'm not the happy girl I used to be
He thinks I still care
And if he's happy thinking I still need him
Then let that silly notion bring him cheer
But how could he ever be so foolish?
Or where would he get such an idea?
Just because I ask a friend about him
Just because I spoke his name somewhere
Just because I saw him, then went all to pieces
He thinks I still care
Yes, he thinks I still care
Old Man lyrics - Deana Carter
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
Twenty four and there's so much more
Live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two.
Love lost, such a cost,
Give me things that don't get lost.
Like a coin that wont get tossed
Rolling home to you.
Old man take a look at my life I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me the whole day through
Oh, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true.
Lullabies, look in your eyes,
Run around the same old town.
Doesn't mean that much to me
To mean that much to you.
I've been first and I've been last
Look at how the time goes past.
But I'm all alone at last.
Rolling home to you.
Old man take a look at my life I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me the whole day through
Oh, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
The Girl You Left Me For lyrics - Deana Carter
I wish I could give you the love you deserve
I wish I could be your servant du jour
I wish I could tell you the things that I'm not
I wanna show you what I've got
And I wish you would love me anyway
[Chorus]
I wanna be the girl you left me for
I wanna be the one that you adore
I wanna be the girl you left me for
I'm gonna treat you more like a king
Make me a puppet without any strings
I want your perfume on my pillowcase
She's gonna turn you inside out and I...
I'm gonna love you anyway
[Chorus]
I wanna be the girl you left me for
I wanna be the one that you adore
I wanna be the girl you left me for
[Bridge]
You've got me on my knees
Don't break my heart again
I don't want your sympathy
I don't want to be your friend
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah
I wanna feel you on my fingertips
[Chorus]
I wanna be the girl you left me for
I wann be the one that you adore
I wanna be the girl you left me for
I wanna be the one that you adore
I wanna be the girl you left me for
One Day At A Time lyrics - Deana Carter
I've got a friend who wears go-go boots to Sunday School
We used to sit and drink pink champagne on a tin roof
Ridin' it out in a Thunderbird
Singin' out loud every single word of Jack & Diane
Tryin' to pretend there was no rules
Kissin' on boys and sneakin' in bars
Tryin' to get a glimpse of who we are
We weren't wild, but we weren't far
She said Thelma and Louise, you got nothin' on me
And you can tell ol' James Dean to get in line
Thanks to Elvis and Kurt Cobain, the world will never be the same
You gotta make history one day at a time
She graduated in 1987
We were gonna make a break for it together
Headed out to Hollywood
Where the stars are bright and the weather's good
But she changed her mind and went back to the 7-11
She went and married the football star
Had few kids and works real hard
It ain't wild but it ain't far
[Repeat Chorus]
Hey, Thelma and Louise, you got nothin' on me
And you can tell ol' James Dean to get in line
Thanks to Jesus and John Wayne the world will never be the same
You've gotta make history one day at a time
Like John Lennon and Kennedy
I'm with them, yeah, 'cause I believe
You gotta make history one day at a time
Ordinary lyrics - Deana Carter
White lace bedspread, Monet hanging over my head
Big smile on my face, wine glasses all over the place
Your shirt on my floor, I've never done that before
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
[CHORUS]
Don't it feel so good
Flying high without a net above the neighborhood
I love to cross the line
I get a running start and I go five steps at a time
Oh wouldn't be scary
Just being ordinary?
At my church I pray. I had a long talk with the angels today
And they say, "Listen to me...you gotta be a shepard, don't be a sheep"
Stop sign go away cause I ain't stopping for no one today
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
[REPEAT CHORUS]
When I was a little girl my momma used to say,
"You only get one chance in this world and it's a chance you gotta take!"
And 30 years later here I am and I can't wait
La, la, la, la, I can't wait...
[REPEAT CHORUS]
In A Heartbeat lyrics - Deana Carter
I can't ignore the voices in my head
The things we never said hunting me down
I fell like I've found myself in pieces on the floor
More broken than before I let you down...
You can lose someone in a heartbeat
You can lose yourself in a memory...
[CHORUS]
Look at me now, I'm going insane
I'm looking back at what remains
What have I done, was it in vain?
Can you forgive me once again?
Say you'll do that, and I'd take it back
In a heartbeat
I can't avoid the will to fall apart
To stop before I start living again
I try to pretend I'm not afraid to set you free
To push you out to sea to wait for the wind...
You can lose someone in a heartbeat
You can lose yourself in a memory...
[REPEAT CHORUS]
What have I done, was it in vain?
Can you forgive me again?
I'd take it back, if you'd say you'll do that
In a heartbeat
Katie lyrics - Deana Carter
Katie likes to run around
In cotton panties and a crown
She driving all the boys insane
Suckin' on a candy cane...
She likes to play the tambourine
Her favorite color's Army green
She's a vegetarian; she's a lovely loaded gun...
[CHORUS]
Katie has a way of seeing things
That everybody else is just afraid to dream of
It's funny how it seems, but when you look at her
I swear, you see love.
She wears diamonds oh her toes
She lets her belly button show
She puts perfume in her hair
You don't look at her, you stare...
[CHORUS]
Atlanta & Birmingham lyrics - Deana Carter
I'm in a hotel room in California
Giving it my best to give you up
I'm leaving on a jet plane to New Orleans
You and me, we didn't see it coming
[Chorus]
But somewhere between Atlanta and Birmingham
We fell in love with just one touch
It was out of our hands
I'm holding on to every word you said
Somewhere between Atlanta and Birmingham
I gotta pick up the pieces of my lonely heart
I want you to know it's not your fault
You got to go to love that's waiting
I hope that your green eyes say what you aren't saying
[Chorus]
Somewhere between Atlanta and Birmingham
We fell in love with just one touch
It was out of our hands
I never thought that my whole world could end
Somewhere between Atlanta and Birmingham
Somewhere between Atlanta and Birmingham
We fell in love with just one touch
It was out of our hands
I never thought that my whole world would end
Somewhere beteen Atlanta and Birmingham
I'm in a hotel room in California
Giving it my best to give you up
She's Good For You lyrics - Deana Carter
She parks her car on Woodland Street
She's got a job at the meat-n-three
She's kind of pretty in a perculiar kind of way
And I try hard to like her
Yeah, I try hard to like her...
[CHORUS]
Because she's good for you
She's so good for you
You say she's good for you
That makes her bad, that makes her very bad
For me.
I saw her at the grocery store
Her stuff was obviously yours
It may sound silly but it made me want to cry
I try hard to hide it...
You say she's good for you
She's so good for you
Well if she's good for you
That makes her bad, that makes her very bad
For me.
[BRIDGE]
It's torture
The thought of you touching her
Remembering the way we were...
[REPEAT CHORUS]
[TAG]
Even if that's true
That makes her bad, that makes her very bad
For me.
Not Another Love Song lyrics - Deana Carter
I can't help but wonder how
This fire keeps going out
Even when we try to keep it burning
It's hard to let you go
And that's because I know
That holding on is worth a little hurting...
[CHORUS]
I don't wanna write a love song
Not another love song
I cannot take another painful melody
I don't wanna write a love song
Not another love song
Until I know you're coming back to me
I wish that you could stay
I wish it everyday
Even though our love is slowly dying
What's a heart supposed to do
When wishes don't come true
It hurts so much it's hard to keep on trying...
[CHORUS]
Sunny Day lyrics - Deana Carter
I ain't picked up my guitar in 15 days
Some music man doesn't give a damn
What I have to say
But he's stealing tears and playing games
That I don't play
I'm not gonna let that son-of-a-bitch take my love away
You can't take my love away...
[CHORUS]
So roll me over, over, over
While you turn your head
Hold me under, under
While I take in my last
It gets colder, colder, colder
While you try to save yourself
God's gonna blow your clouds away
And give me sunny day.
It's on the telephone, the tv and on the radio
Any day now the final whistle is bound to blow
But this ain't the way we have to say we had to go
There's still a chance that hand-in-hand and shore-to-shore
They can't take our love away...
[REPEAT CHORUS]
Getting Over You lyrics - Deana Carter
Out here out on my own
I admit that it gets me sometimes
It's not that I'm not strong
It's just a different view
I know that I belong
Standing out in the sweet sunshine
I've been up all night long
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
I know that I'm not stuck
Cause in my pocket's a four leaf clover
I'm filling up on luck
The clouds all fade to blue
I'm cutting off your strings
I don't carry your weight no longer
I'm spreading out my wings
I smile and face the truth
[Chorus:]
All the little things are leaving me as I speak
All that used to be is just a memory, yeah
Getting over you, yeah
You might wanna try
But you won't be my demise
Gonna find my peace of mind
I ain't wasting no more time
Getting over you
[Chorus]
Out here on my own
I'm where I belong
Getting over you
I'm forgetting you
The Story Of My Life lyrics - Deana Carter
I wish I was a little more clear headed
So I could paste the pieces of last night
I try not to regret it
Sifting through the laughter and the lies
I guess that's just the story of my life
I was born in a 60's winter
My mom was young and my dad had an appetite
A saint and a sinner
Wrestling with what's wrong and what's right
I guess that's just the story of my life
When they roll me down the last long highway
You wont find me putting up a fight
If I could have things my way
They'd all be there just soaking up the light
Wave good bye
Carol Of The Bells lyrics - Deana Carter
Hark how the bells
sweet silver bells
All seem to say
throw cares away.
Christmas is here
bringing good cheer
To young and old
meek and the bold
Ding, dong, ding, dong
that is their song,
With joyful ring
all caroling
One seems to hear
words of good cheer
From everywhere
filling the air
O, how they pound
raising the sound
Over hill and dale
telling their tale
Gaily they ring
while people sing
Songs of good cheer
Christmas is here!
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
On, on they send
on without end
Their joyful tone
to every home
Hark how the bells
sweet silver bells
All seem to say
throw cares away.
Christmas is here
bringing good cheer
To young and old
meek and the bold
Ding, dong, ding, dong
that is their song
With joyful ring
all caroling.
One seems to hear
words of good cheer
From everywhere
filling the air
O, how they pound
raising the sound
Over hill and dale
telling their tale
Gaily they ring
while people sing
Songs of good cheer
Christmas is here!
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas!
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas!
On, on they send
on without end
Their joyful tone
to every home.
On, on they send
on without end
Their joyful tone
to every home.
Free Fallin' lyrics - Deana Carter
(originally by Tom Petty)
(from "King of the Hill" soundtrack)
She's a good girl, loves her mama
Loves Jesus and America too
She's a good girl, crazy 'bout Elvis
Loves horses and her boyfriend too
And it's a long day living in Reseda
There's a freeway runnin' through the yard
He's a bad boy 'cause he don't even miss me
He's a bad boy for breakin' my heart
And I'm free, free fallin'
Yeah, I'm free, free fallin'
All the vampires walkin' through the valley
Move west down Ventura Boulevard
All the bad boys are standing in the shadows
All the good girls are home with broken hearts
And I'm free, free fallin'
Yeah, I'm free, free fallin'
(Free fallin', now I'm free fallin', now I'm)
(Free fallin', now I'm free fallin', now I'm)
I wanna glide down over Mulholland
I wanna write your name in the sky
I wanna free fall out into nothin'
Gonna leave this world for a while
And I'm free
(Free fallin', now I'm free fallin', now I'm)
Free fallin'
(Free fallin', now I'm free fallin', now I'm)
Yeah, I'm free
(Free fallin', now I'm free fallin', now I'm)
Free fallin'
(Free fallin', now I'm free fallin', now I'm)
And I'm free
(Free fallin', now I'm free fallin', now I'm)
Free fallin'
(Free fallin', now I'm free fallin', now I'm)
Yeah, I'm free
(Free fallin', now I'm free fallin', now I'm)
Free fallin'
(Free fallin', now I'm free fallin', now I'm)
I wanna glide down over Mulholland
I wanna write your name in the sky
I wanna free fall out into nothin'
Gonna leave this world for a while
Free fallin'
Once Upon A December lyrics - Deana Carter
(from "Anastasia" soundtrack)
Dancing bears, painted wings
Things I almost remember
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December
Someone holds me safe and warm
Horses prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory
Far away, long ago
Glowing dim as an ember
Things my heart used to know
Once upon a December
Someone holds me safe and warm
Horses prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory
Far away, long ago
Glowing dim as an ember
Things my heart used to know
Things it yearns to remember
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December
I'm Just A Girl lyrics - Deana carter
I've traveled 'round the world in airplanes and in cars
I've tried exotic foods and smoked some fine cigars
I'm just a girl, an American girl
I'm just a girl, but I'm not an ordinary girl
I'm a Chevy girl
I've strolled down Paris streets, been lost in London fog
But all I really need are the fields of Arkansas
I'm just a girl, an American girl
I'm just a girl, but I'm not an ordinary girl
I need an old Corvette with the top down
And a backseat for my friends
I need baseball and apple pie to feel alive
Gimme a Coke-a-cola sundae and a Beach Boy's serenade
I need freedom to be all around the world
I'm a Southern girl
I want an old porch swing under Montana skies
To hold a working man, looking good in his old Levi's
I'm just a girl, an American girl
I'm just a girl, but I'm not an ordinary girl
I need an old Corvette with the top down
And a backseat for my friends
I need baseball and apple pie to feel alive
Gimme a Coke-a-cola sundae and a Beach Boy's serenade
I need freedom to be all around the world
I'm daddy's girl
I've traveled 'round this world and I'm ready to go home
I've tried exotic foods and smoked some fine cigars
I'm just a girl, an American girl
I'm just a girl, but I'm not an ordinary girl
I'm a Chevy girl
I've strolled down Paris streets, been lost in London fog
But all I really need are the fields of Arkansas
I'm just a girl, an American girl
I'm just a girl, but I'm not an ordinary girl
I need an old Corvette with the top down
And a backseat for my friends
I need baseball and apple pie to feel alive
Gimme a Coke-a-cola sundae and a Beach Boy's serenade
I need freedom to be all around the world
I'm a Southern girl
I want an old porch swing under Montana skies
To hold a working man, looking good in his old Levi's
I'm just a girl, an American girl
I'm just a girl, but I'm not an ordinary girl
I need an old Corvette with the top down
And a backseat for my friends
I need baseball and apple pie to feel alive
Gimme a Coke-a-cola sundae and a Beach Boy's serenade
I need freedom to be all around the world
I'm daddy's girl
I've traveled 'round this world and I'm ready to go home
There's No Limit lyrics - Deana Carter
If it's a long, long road, baby, I'll walk it.
If it's a mountain high, baby, I'll cross it.
If it's a deep blue sky, you know, I'll jump out in it.
There's nothin' I would not do for you, there's no limit.
If you want my heart, you can have it.
If you want my soul, you gotta grab it.
If you want my love, then, baby, come an' get it.
There's nothin' I would not do for you, there's no limit.
Let's pack that pony up and say goodbye to Hollywood.
Climb in to the back an' just get on with feelin' good.
[Instrumental break]
Let's pack that pony up and bid goodbye to Hollywood.
Slide into the back, there's nothin' wrong with feelin' good.
Feelin' good.
If it's a beat up heart, I'll mend it.
If it's broken smile, I'll bend it.
If it's a barbed wire fence, you know I'll take my chances.
There's nothin' I would not do,
'Causem, honey, you're livin' proof,
There's no limit.
Mm-mm-mm.
(It's a long, long road.) You can have it.
(It's mountain high.) You gotta grab it.
(It's a deep blue sky.) Take your chances.
Oo-oo-oo.
(It's a long, long road.)
(There's no limit.)
There's no limit.
(There's no limit.)
(There's no limit.)
(There's no limit.)
If it's a mountain high, baby, I'll cross it.
If it's a deep blue sky, you know, I'll jump out in it.
There's nothin' I would not do for you, there's no limit.
If you want my heart, you can have it.
If you want my soul, you gotta grab it.
If you want my love, then, baby, come an' get it.

You And Tequila lyrics - Deana Carter
Here I am again, kicking dust in the canyon wind
Waiting for the sun to go down
Made it up Mulholland Drive, hell-bent on getting high
High above the lights of town
You and tequila make me crazy
You run like poison in my blood
One more night might kill me, baby
One is one too many, and one more is never enough
For 30 days and 30 nights, I've been putting up a real good fight
There were times I thought you'd win
It isn't easy to forget the bitter taste morning left
I swore I wouldn't go back there again
You and tequila make me crazy
You run like poison in my blood
One more night might kill me, baby
One is one too many, and one more is never enough
When it comes to you, oh the damage I could do
It's always your favorite sings that do you in
You and tequila make me crazy
You run like poison in my blood
One more night might kill me, baby
One is one too many, and one more is never enough
Waiting for the sun to go down
Made it up Mulholland Drive, hell-bent on getting high
High above the lights of town
You and tequila make me crazy
You run like poison in my blood
One more night might kill me, baby
One is one too many, and one more is never enough
For 30 days and 30 nights, I've been putting up a real good fight
There were times I thought you'd win
It isn't easy to forget the bitter taste morning left
I swore I wouldn't go back there again
You and tequila make me crazy
You run like poison in my blood
One more night might kill me, baby
One is one too many, and one more is never enough
When it comes to you, oh the damage I could do
It's always your favorite sings that do you in
You and tequila make me crazy
You run like poison in my blood
One more night might kill me, baby
One is one too many, and one more is never enough
Me And The Radio lyrics - Deana Carter
I'm headed out of town and man I feel like crying
Snow is on the ground and everything is dying
I'll come back alive, when I cross 65
I need a song to help me along
I've got my Mustang pointed west
I'm going where the sun don't set
I'm on a roll, just me and the radio
Playing "Refugee" and "Born To Run"
And all those Allman Brother's songs
The wheels turn slow while I ride this road
Just me and the radio
2nd Avenue is twinkling behind me
Memories of you do their best to blind me
The river's rolling by, well baby, so am I
I need a song to help me along
I've got my Mustang pointed west
I'm going where the sun don't set
I'm on a roll, just me and the radio
Playing "Midnight Rider," "Ramblin' Man"
Words this woman understands
The wheels turn slow while I ride this road
Just me and the radio
Turn that sweet emotion on 'cause I just heard "Already Gone"
The wheels turn slow while I ride this road
Just me and the radio
Me and the radio
Cover Of A Magazine lyrics - Deana Carter
Man, look at that rack
Right next to the popcorn and the battery packs
Am I supposed to be skinny or fat?
Hmmm?
Sometimes I get so depressed
Am I supposed to wears pants or a see-through dress
My friends say that I've become obessed
Hmmm?
I wanna be on the cover of a magazine
I wanna be on the cover of a magazine
Hair piled high, tons of diamonds
It all looks good to me
How come it's such a big deal
It's about how you look and not how you feel
All I know is I wanna wear those heels
Yeah
Every day, everywhere you look
For $2.99 you get to sink your hooks
In the lives of heroes, in the lives of crooks
It's all good
I wanna be on the cover of a magazine
I wanna be on the cover of a magazine
Hair piled high, tons of diamonds
It all looks good to me
I'm gonna wear a little pillbox hat
I'll be showing you this, I'll be showing you that
I finally get to be the homecoming queen
My mom and dad will be so proud of me
I wanna be on the cover of a magazine
I wanna be on the cover of a magazine
Hair piled high, tons of diamonds
It all looks good to me
Right next to the popcorn and the battery packs
Am I supposed to be skinny or fat?
Hmmm?
Sometimes I get so depressed
Am I supposed to wears pants or a see-through dress
My friends say that I've become obessed
Hmmm?
I wanna be on the cover of a magazine
I wanna be on the cover of a magazine
Hair piled high, tons of diamonds
It all looks good to me
How come it's such a big deal
It's about how you look and not how you feel
All I know is I wanna wear those heels
Yeah
Every day, everywhere you look
For $2.99 you get to sink your hooks
In the lives of heroes, in the lives of crooks
It's all good
I wanna be on the cover of a magazine
I wanna be on the cover of a magazine
Hair piled high, tons of diamonds
It all looks good to me
I'm gonna wear a little pillbox hat
I'll be showing you this, I'll be showing you that
I finally get to be the homecoming queen
My mom and dad will be so proud of me
I wanna be on the cover of a magazine
I wanna be on the cover of a magazine
Hair piled high, tons of diamonds
It all looks good to me
Wildflower lyrics - Deana Carter
I wanna run against the wind
I wanna pull the stars down from the sky
And put 'em back again
I wanna hold the world in my hands
I wanna see forever from where I stand
I'm a wildflower
With my roots down an old dirt road
I'm a wildflower
And I need a little rain to grow
A little sun to help my colors show
I'm a wildflower
I wanna jump every fence
I want a taste of freedom and hold on to my innocence
I wanna fly above the trees
And ride this feeling all the way to the sea
I'm a wildflower
With my roots down an old dirt road
I'm a wildflower
And I need a little rain to grow
A little sun to help my colors show
I'm a wildflower
I wanna pull the stars down from the sky
And put 'em back again
I wanna hold the world in my hands
I wanna see forever from where I stand
I'm a wildflower
With my roots down an old dirt road
I'm a wildflower
And I need a little rain to grow
A little sun to help my colors show
I'm a wildflower
I wanna jump every fence
I want a taste of freedom and hold on to my innocence
I wanna fly above the trees
And ride this feeling all the way to the sea
I'm a wildflower
With my roots down an old dirt road
I'm a wildflower
And I need a little rain to grow
A little sun to help my colors show
I'm a wildflower
Twice As Worth It lyrics - Deana Carter
We're on shaky ground, but it's too late now
I ain't backing out, I don't give up that easy
You're not an easy man for me to understand sometimes
No matter how hard I try
You just shut me out and you act so proud
Always walking 'round with the world on your shoulders
But when you open up, I see so much love inside
And that's when I find, that it's
Twice as worth it
I know you've got just what I need
No, you ain't perfect for me
And it's gonne be
Twice as worth it
Slide on over here, let me feel you near
Say things in my ear, make love to me sweetly
C'mon and take my hand and be my man tonight
Only you can prove me right, that it's
Twice as worth it
I know you've got just what I need
No, you ain't perfect for me
And it's gonne be
Twice as worth it
I ain't backing out, I don't give up that easy
You're not an easy man for me to understand sometimes
No matter how hard I try
You just shut me out and you act so proud
Always walking 'round with the world on your shoulders
But when you open up, I see so much love inside
And that's when I find, that it's
Twice as worth it
I know you've got just what I need
No, you ain't perfect for me
And it's gonne be
Twice as worth it
Slide on over here, let me feel you near
Say things in my ear, make love to me sweetly
C'mon and take my hand and be my man tonight
Only you can prove me right, that it's
Twice as worth it
I know you've got just what I need
No, you ain't perfect for me
And it's gonne be
Twice as worth it
Eddie lyrics - Deana Carter
Eddie's got a way of looking at the world through rose-colored glasses
He's got a little of the Midas touch when it comes to mystery
Never ever gonna show his cards, that's just the way things are
And I won't let go of Eddie for anything
I met him at the 76 on my way to California
I was paying for my lottery ticket and a can of ice-cold beer
He was out of cigarettes, now we're calling off all bets
And I won't let go of Eddie for anything
I've got this feeling
I've got a real good feeling
Eddie's gonna get that jog in South Calabasas
We'll skinny dip in Silver Lake and make love all afternoon
We might have to share one car, but that's just the way things are
And I won't let go of Eddie for anything
No, I won't let go of Eddie
He's got a little of the Midas touch when it comes to mystery
Never ever gonna show his cards, that's just the way things are
And I won't let go of Eddie for anything
I met him at the 76 on my way to California
I was paying for my lottery ticket and a can of ice-cold beer
He was out of cigarettes, now we're calling off all bets
And I won't let go of Eddie for anything
I've got this feeling
I've got a real good feeling
Eddie's gonna get that jog in South Calabasas
We'll skinny dip in Silver Lake and make love all afternoon
We might have to share one car, but that's just the way things are
And I won't let go of Eddie for anything
No, I won't let go of Eddie
Waiting lyrics - Deana Carter (duet with Dwight Yoakam)
Waiting for your world to turn around is less likely to be found
As I watch it moving past
Than any other hope that I might hold that someday you
Might know what it's like to slowly drown
Waiting for your world to turn around
Waiting for the the thought to cross your mind that 2 hearts might
Be inclined to commit an act that's bold
Or even just be looking for a chance to take advantage of
One glance and live inside it one more time
Waiting for the thought to cross your mind
How long will it be
'Til these blind eyes can finally see
I don't know, time goes so slow
While your love, like a river, flows right by me
Waiting for your world to turn around is less likely to be found
As I watch it moving past
Than any other hope that I might hold that someday you
Might know what it's like to slowly drown
Waiting for your world to turn around
As I watch it moving past
Than any other hope that I might hold that someday you
Might know what it's like to slowly drown
Waiting for your world to turn around
Waiting for the the thought to cross your mind that 2 hearts might
Be inclined to commit an act that's bold
Or even just be looking for a chance to take advantage of
One glance and live inside it one more time
Waiting for the thought to cross your mind
How long will it be
'Til these blind eyes can finally see
I don't know, time goes so slow
While your love, like a river, flows right by me
Waiting for your world to turn around is less likely to be found
As I watch it moving past
Than any other hope that I might hold that someday you
Might know what it's like to slowly drown
Waiting for your world to turn around
Liar lyrics - Deana Carter
You promised me that I'd be
The only one you'd ever love
And all of our dreams would come true
And I could always count on you
Liar, cheater
I bet you break more hearts than anyone
Loser, leaver
Sometimes I think you do it just for fun
Liar
You said the stars were all ours
And that heaven's just a kiss away
And when we were old you would hole me
And love me 'til our dying day
Liar, cheater
I bet you break more hearts than anyone
Loser, leaver
Sometimes I think you do it just for fun
Liar
Love's gonna get you back someday
Love's gonna get you hey, hey, hey
Love's gonna be the price you pay
Liar, cheater
I bet you break more hearts than anyone
Loser, leaver
Sometimes I think you do it just for fun
Liar
The only one you'd ever love
And all of our dreams would come true
And I could always count on you

I bet you break more hearts than anyone
Loser, leaver
Sometimes I think you do it just for fun

You said the stars were all ours
And that heaven's just a kiss away
And when we were old you would hole me

Goodbye Train lyrics - Deana Carter
I took your picture off the shelf
Sat down and had myself a good cry
Wrote your number on a bathroom wall
Let somebody else take the fall this time (it's a long way down)
'Cause you wouldn't know a good thing
If it knocked you down, well that ain't my problem now
'Cause I like the way it feels
When I'm making tracks, I'm shooting for the moon
With the sky underneath my wheels
I'm riding on a goodbye train
I'd be better off to try my luck
With somebody who's strong enough to love me (yeah, yeah)
When I look at what I left behind
Freedom looks like a friends of mine, baby (baby)
Ain't nothing like a good change
And it's coming around, yeah
I'm coming around
'Cause I like the way it feels
When I'm making tracks, I'm shooting for the moon
With the sky underneath my wheels
I'm riding on a goodbye train
Sat down and had myself a good cry
Wrote your number on a bathroom wall
Let somebody else take the fall this time (it's a long way down)
'Cause you wouldn't know a good thing
If it knocked you down, well that ain't my problem now
'Cause I like the way it feels
When I'm making tracks, I'm shooting for the moon
With the sky underneath my wheels
I'm riding on a goodbye train
I'd be better off to try my luck
With somebody who's strong enough to love me (yeah, yeah)
When I look at what I left behind
Freedom looks like a friends of mine, baby (baby)
Ain't nothing like a good change
And it's coming around, yeah
I'm coming around
'Cause I like the way it feels
When I'm making tracks, I'm shooting for the moon
With the sky underneath my wheels
I'm riding on a goodbye train
Girls' Night lyrics - Deana Carter
I'm going downtown, I'm gonna look real nice
I'll be sportin' my stilletos; I'm gonna cause a few fights
I'm gonna find my friends
'Cause it's girls' night
Julie looks like she just woke up
She pours her Miller Lite in a silver cup
She's got 2 kids and a real good man
But she can't say that she'd do it again
She can't complain
She's just blowin' off steam
Come to girls' night and you'll see what I mean
I'm going downtown, I'm gonna look real nice
I'll be sportin' my stilletos; I'm gonna cause a few fights
I'm gonna find my friends
'Cause it's girls' night
Jenny drives a truck from Kansas State
We're on time, she always late
Can't let go of her lumberjack
Got his name tattooed across her back
She's a real hot momma who's long and lean
Come to girls' night and you'll see what I mean
I'm going downtown, I'm gonna look real nice
I'll be sportin' my stilletos; I'm gonna cause a few fights
I'm gonna find my friends
'Cause it's girls' night
Kasya's got a full-time job
Pushing pills and cotton swabs
Love's a boy who won't commit
She needs her own little first-aid kit
Her skirt is short and her eyes are green
Denise is selling stocks and bonds
Gonna retire in the Caribbean
Bought her boyfriend a brand new car
Gets the first round at our favorite bar
She's got 52 pairs of designer jeans
I'm going downtown, I'm gonna look real nice
I'll be sportin' my stilletos; I'm gonna cause a few fights
I'm gonna find my friends
'Cause it's girls' night
I'll be sportin' my stilletos; I'm gonna cause a few fights
I'm gonna find my friends
'Cause it's girls' night
Julie looks like she just woke up
She pours her Miller Lite in a silver cup
She's got 2 kids and a real good man
But she can't say that she'd do it again
She can't complain
She's just blowin' off steam
Come to girls' night and you'll see what I mean
I'm going downtown, I'm gonna look real nice
I'll be sportin' my stilletos; I'm gonna cause a few fights
I'm gonna find my friends
'Cause it's girls' night
Jenny drives a truck from Kansas State
We're on time, she always late
Can't let go of her lumberjack
Got his name tattooed across her back
She's a real hot momma who's long and lean
Come to girls' night and you'll see what I mean
I'm going downtown, I'm gonna look real nice
I'll be sportin' my stilletos; I'm gonna cause a few fights
I'm gonna find my friends
'Cause it's girls' night
Kasya's got a full-time job

'Cause it's girls' night
Crying lyrics - Deana Carter
I was all right for awhile
I could smile for awhile
But I saw you last night
You held my hand so tight
As you stopped to say, "Hello"
Oh, you wished me well
You, you couldn't tell
That I'd been crying over you
Crying over you
When you said, "So long"
Left me standing all alone
Alone and crying, crying
Crying, crying
It's hard to understand
But the touch of your hand
Can start me crying
I thought that I was over you
But it's true, so true
I love you even more
Than I did before
But, darling, what can I do?
For you don't love me
And I'll always be crying over you
Crying over you
Yes, now you're gone
And from this moment on
I'll be crying, crying
Crying, crying
Yeah, crying, crying
Over you
I could smile for awhile
But I saw you last night
You held my hand so tight
As you stopped to say, "Hello"
Oh, you wished me well
You, you couldn't tell
That I'd been crying over you
Crying over you
When you said, "So long"
Left me standing all alone
Alone and crying, crying
Crying, crying
It's hard to understand
But the touch of your hand
Can start me crying
I thought that I was over you
But it's true, so true
I love you even more
Than I did before
But, darling, what can I do?
For you don't love me
And I'll always be crying over you
Crying over you
Yes, now you're gone
And from this moment on
I'll be crying, crying
Crying, crying
Yeah, crying, crying
Over you
Help Me Make It Through The Night lyrics - Deana Carter (with Kris Kristofferson)
Take the ribbon from my hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Layin' soft upon your skin
Like the shadows on the wall
Come and lay down by my side
Till the early mornin' light
All I'm takin' is your time
Help me make it through the night
I don't care what's right or wrong
I don't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
'Cause tonight I need a friend
But yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night
I don't care what's right or wrong
I don't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
'Cause tonight I need a friend
'Cause yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night
I don't wanna be alone
Help me make it through the night
Shake it loose and let it fall
Layin' soft upon your skin
Like the shadows on the wall
Come and lay down by my side
Till the early mornin' light
All I'm takin' is your time
Help me make it through the night
I don't care what's right or wrong
I don't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
'Cause tonight I need a friend
But yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night
I don't care what's right or wrong
I don't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
'Cause tonight I need a friend
'Cause yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night
I don't wanna be alone
Help me make it through the night
Love Is Like A Butterfly lyrics - Deana Carter (with Dolly Parton)
Love is like a butterfly
As soft and gentle as a sigh
The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings
Love makes your heart feel strange inside
It flutters like soft wings in flight
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing
I feel it when you're with me
It happens when you kiss me
That rare and gentle feeling that I feel inside
Your touch is soft and gentle
Your kiss is warm and tender
Whenever I am with you I think of butterflies
Love is like a butterfly
The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings
Love makes your heart feel strange inside
It flutters like soft wings in flight
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing
Your laughter brings me sunshine
Everyday is spring time
And I am only happy when you are by my side
How precious is this love we share
How very precious, sweet and rare
Together we belong like daffodils and butterflies
Love is like a butterfly
As soft and gentle as a sigh
The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings
Love makes your heart feel strange inside
It flutters like soft wings in flight
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing
As soft and gentle as a sigh
The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings
Love makes your heart feel strange inside
It flutters like soft wings in flight
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing
I feel it when you're with me
It happens when you kiss me
That rare and gentle feeling that I feel inside
Your touch is soft and gentle
Your kiss is warm and tender
Whenever I am with you I think of butterflies
Love is like a butterfly
The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings
Love makes your heart feel strange inside
It flutters like soft wings in flight
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing
Your laughter brings me sunshine
Everyday is spring time
And I am only happy when you are by my side
How precious is this love we share
How very precious, sweet and rare
Together we belong like daffodils and butterflies
Love is like a butterfly
As soft and gentle as a sigh
The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings
Love makes your heart feel strange inside
It flutters like soft wings in flight
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing
The Boxer lyrics - Deana Carter (with Harper Simon and Paul Simon)
I am just a poor boy
Though my story is seldom told
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocketful of mumbles, such are promises
All lies and jest
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest
When I left my home and my family
I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station, runnin' scared
Layin' low, seekin' out the poorer quarters
Where the ragged people go
Lookin' for the places, only they would know
Lie-la-lie
Asking only workman's wages
I come lookin' for a job
But I get no offers, just a come on
From the whores on Seventh Avenue
I do declare there were times
When I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Lie-la-lie
And I'm layin' out my winter clothes
And wishin' I was gone, goin' home
Where the New York City winters aren't bleedin' me
Leadin' me home, goin' home
In the clearing stands
A boxer and a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of every glove that laid him down
Or cut him 'til he cried out
In his anger and his shame
"I am leavin', I am leavin'"
But the fighter still remains, still remains
Lie-la-lie
Though my story is seldom told
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocketful of mumbles, such are promises
All lies and jest
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest
When I left my home and my family
I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station, runnin' scared
Layin' low, seekin' out the poorer quarters
Where the ragged people go
Lookin' for the places, only they would know
Lie-la-lie
Asking only workman's wages
I come lookin' for a job
But I get no offers, just a come on
From the whores on Seventh Avenue
I do declare there were times
When I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Lie-la-lie
And I'm layin' out my winter clothes
And wishin' I was gone, goin' home
Where the New York City winters aren't bleedin' me
Leadin' me home, goin' home
In the clearing stands
A boxer and a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of every glove that laid him down
Or cut him 'til he cried out
In his anger and his shame
"I am leavin', I am leavin'"
But the fighter still remains, still remains
Lie-la-lie
Lay Lady Lay lyrics - Deana Carter
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Whatever colors you have in your mind
I'll show them to you and you'll see them shine
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Until the break of day, let me see you make him smile
His clothes are dirty but his hands are clean
And you're the best thing that he's ever seen
Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Why wait any longer for your world to begin
You can have your cake and eat it too
Why wait any longer for the one you love
When he's standing in front of you
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead
I long to see you in the morning light
I long to reach for you in the night
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Whatever colors you have in your mind
I'll show them to you and you'll see them shine
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Until the break of day, let me see you make him smile
His clothes are dirty but his hands are clean
And you're the best thing that he's ever seen
Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Why wait any longer for your world to begin
You can have your cake and eat it too
Why wait any longer for the one you love
When he's standing in front of you
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead
I long to see you in the morning light
I long to reach for you in the night
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead
The Weight lyrics - Deana Carter
I pulled into Nazareth just a feelin' 'bout a half past dead
I just need to find a place where I can lay my head
Mister can you tell me where a man might find a bed?
He just grinned and shook my hand and "No" was all he said
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And you put the load right on me
I picked up my bag and went lookin' for a place to hide
When I saw old Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side
And I said, "Hey Carmen, come on will you go downtown?"
She said, "Well I gotta go but my friend can stick around anyhow"
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And you put the load right on me
Go down Miss Moses, ain't nothin' that you can say
'Cause is just old Luke and Luke's waitin' on the judgment day
Well now Luke my friend, what about young Anna Lee?
He said, "Do me a favor son
Won't you stay and keep Anna Lee company?"
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And you put the load right on me
Crazy Chester followed me yeah, and he caught me in the fog
He said, "I would fix your rack, oh yeah if you'll just take Jack, my dog"
I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, you know I am a peaceful man"
He said, "That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can?"
Won't ya take a load off Fanny?
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And you put the load right on me
Catch a cannon ball now, to take me down the line
'Cause my bag is sinkin' low and I do believe it's time
To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone
I want you to take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And you put the load right on me
I just need to find a place where I can lay my head
Mister can you tell me where a man might find a bed?
He just grinned and shook my hand and "No" was all he said
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And you put the load right on me
I picked up my bag and went lookin' for a place to hide
When I saw old Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side
And I said, "Hey Carmen, come on will you go downtown?"
She said, "Well I gotta go but my friend can stick around anyhow"

I'm Not Lisa lyrics - Deana Carter (with Jessi Colter)
I'm not Lisa, my name is Julie
Lisa left you years ago
My eyes are not blue but mine won't leave you
'Til the sunlight has touched your face
She was your morning light
Her smile told of no night
Your love for her grew
With each rising sun
And then one winter day
His hand led hers away
She left you here drowning
In your tears here
Where you've stayed for years
Crying Lisa, Lisa
I'm not Lisa, my name is Julie
Lisa left you years ago
My eyes are not blue but mine won't leave you
'Til the sunlight shines through your face
Lisa left you years ago
My eyes are not blue but mine won't leave you
'Til the sunlight has touched your face
She was your morning light
Her smile told of no night
Your love for her grew
With each rising sun
And then one winter day
His hand led hers away
She left you here drowning
In your tears here
Where you've stayed for years
Crying Lisa, Lisa
I'm not Lisa, my name is Julie
Lisa left you years ago
My eyes are not blue but mine won't leave you
'Til the sunlight shines through your face
Swinging lyrics - Deana Carter (with John Anderson)
There's a little girl
In our neighborhood
Her name is Charlotte Johnson
And she's really looking good
I had to go and see her,
So I called her on the phone
I walked over to her house,
And this was going on
Her brother was on the sofa
Eating chocolate pie
Her momma was in the kitchen
Cutting chicken up to fry
Her daddy was in the backyard
Rolling up a garden hose
I was on the porch with Charlotte
Feeling love down to my toes
And they were swinging
Yeah they were swinging
Little Charlotte she's as pretty as the angels when they sing
I can't believe I'm out here on the front porch in this swing
Just a-swinging
Now Charlotte's she's a darling,
She's the apple of my eye
And when I'm on the swing with her it
She makes me almost high
And Charlotte is my lover
And she has been since the spring
I just can't believe it started
On her front porch in this swing
A-just a swinging, just a swinging
Little Charlotte she's as pretty as the angels when they sing
I can't believe I'm out here on the front porch in this swing
Just a-swinging
Little Charlotte she's as pretty as the angels when they sing
I can't believe I'm out here on the front porch in this swing
Just a-swinging
Yeah we were swinging
I see him swinging
Just swinging
On The Road Again lyrics - Deana Carter (with Willie Nelson)
Woah, all I want is on the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
On the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
On the road again
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world be runnin' our way
And our way is on the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music for my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
And on the road again
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world be runnin' our way
And our way is on the road again
I can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
I can't wait to get on the road again
I can't wait to get on the road
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
On the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
On the road again
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world be runnin' our way
And our way is on the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music for my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
And on the road again
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world be runnin' our way
And our way is on the road again
I can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
I can't wait to get on the road again
I can't wait to get on the road
Good Hearted Woman lyrics - Deana Carter (with Shooter Jennings)
A long time forgotten are dreams that just fell by the way
And the good life he promised ain't what she's living today
But she never complains of the bad times or the bad things he's done
She just talks about the good times they've had and all the good times to come
She's a good hearted woman in love with a good timin' man
And she loves him in spite of his ways that she don't understand
And through teardrops and laughter they'll pass through this world hand in hand
This good hearted woman in love with her good timin' man
Now he likes the night life and bright lights and good timin' friends
And when the party's all over she'll welcome him back home again
Though she don't understand him but she does the best that she can
This good hearted woman in love with her good timin' man
She's a good hearted woman,
She's a good hearted woman
And the good life he promised ain't what she's living today
But she never complains of the bad times or the bad things he's done
She just talks about the good times they've had and all the good times to come
She's a good hearted woman in love with a good timin' man
And she loves him in spite of his ways that she don't understand
And through teardrops and laughter they'll pass through this world hand in hand
This good hearted woman in love with her good timin' man
Now he likes the night life and bright lights and good timin' friends
And when the party's all over she'll welcome him back home again
Though she don't understand him but she does the best that she can
This good hearted woman in love with her good timin' man
She's a good hearted woman,
She's a good hearted woman
He Still Thinks I Care lyrics - Deana Carter (with George Jones)
Just because I ask a friend about him
Just because I spoke his name somewhere
Just because I rang his number by mistake today
He thinks I still care
Just because I haunt the same old places
Where the mem'ry of him lingers everywhere
Just because I'm not the happy girl I used to be
He thinks I still care
And if he's happy thinking I still need him
Then let that silly notion bring him cheer
But how could he ever be so foolish?
Or where would he get such an idea?
Just because I ask a friend about him
Just because I spoke his name somewhere
Just because I saw him, then went all to pieces
He thinks I still care
Yes, he thinks I still care
Just because I spoke his name somewhere
Just because I rang his number by mistake today
He thinks I still care
Just because I haunt the same old places
Where the mem'ry of him lingers everywhere
Just because I'm not the happy girl I used to be
He thinks I still care
And if he's happy thinking I still need him
Then let that silly notion bring him cheer
But how could he ever be so foolish?
Or where would he get such an idea?
Just because I ask a friend about him
Just because I spoke his name somewhere
Just because I saw him, then went all to pieces
He thinks I still care
Yes, he thinks I still care
Old Man lyrics - Deana Carter
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
Twenty four and there's so much more
Live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two.
Love lost, such a cost,
Give me things that don't get lost.
Like a coin that wont get tossed
Rolling home to you.
Old man take a look at my life I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me the whole day through
Oh, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true.
Lullabies, look in your eyes,
Run around the same old town.
Doesn't mean that much to me
To mean that much to you.
I've been first and I've been last
Look at how the time goes past.
But I'm all alone at last.
Rolling home to you.
Old man take a look at my life I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me the whole day through
Oh, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
Twenty four and there's so much more
Live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two.
Love lost, such a cost,
Give me things that don't get lost.
Like a coin that wont get tossed
Rolling home to you.
Old man take a look at my life I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me the whole day through
Oh, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true.
Lullabies, look in your eyes,
Run around the same old town.
Doesn't mean that much to me
To mean that much to you.
I've been first and I've been last
Look at how the time goes past.
But I'm all alone at last.
Rolling home to you.
Old man take a look at my life I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me the whole day through
Oh, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
The Girl You Left Me For lyrics - Deana Carter
I wish I could give you the love you deserve
I wish I could be your servant du jour
I wish I could tell you the things that I'm not
I wanna show you what I've got
And I wish you would love me anyway
[Chorus]
I wanna be the girl you left me for
I wanna be the one that you adore
I wanna be the girl you left me for

She's gonna turn you inside out and I...
I'm gonna love you anyway

I wanna be the girl you left me for
I wanna be the one that you adore
I wanna be the girl you left me for

I wanna feel you on my fingertips
[Chorus]
I wanna be the girl you left me for
I wann be the one that you adore

I wanna show you what I've got
And I wish you would love me anyway

One Day At A Time lyrics - Deana Carter
I've got a friend who wears go-go boots to Sunday School
We used to sit and drink pink champagne on a tin roof
Ridin' it out in a Thunderbird
Singin' out loud every single word of Jack & Diane
Tryin' to pretend there was no rules
Kissin' on boys and sneakin' in bars
Tryin' to get a glimpse of who we are
We weren't wild, but we weren't far
She said Thelma and Louise, you got nothin' on me
And you can tell ol' James Dean to get in line
Thanks to Elvis and Kurt Cobain, the world will never be the same
You gotta make history one day at a time
She graduated in 1987
We were gonna make a break for it together
Headed out to Hollywood
Where the stars are bright and the weather's good
But she changed her mind and went back to the 7-11
She went and married the football star
Had few kids and works real hard
It ain't wild but it ain't far
[Repeat Chorus]
Hey, Thelma and Louise, you got nothin' on me
And you can tell ol' James Dean to get in line
Thanks to Jesus and John Wayne the world will never be the same
You've gotta make history one day at a time
Like John Lennon and Kennedy
I'm with them, yeah, 'cause I believe
You gotta make history one day at a time
We used to sit and drink pink champagne on a tin roof
Ridin' it out in a Thunderbird
Singin' out loud every single word of Jack & Diane
Tryin' to pretend there was no rules
Kissin' on boys and sneakin' in bars
Tryin' to get a glimpse of who we are
We weren't wild, but we weren't far
She said Thelma and Louise, you got nothin' on me
And you can tell ol' James Dean to get in line
Thanks to Elvis and Kurt Cobain, the world will never be the same
You gotta make history one day at a time
She graduated in 1987
We were gonna make a break for it together
Headed out to Hollywood
Where the stars are bright and the weather's good
But she changed her mind and went back to the 7-11
She went and married the football star
Had few kids and works real hard
It ain't wild but it ain't far
[Repeat Chorus]
Hey, Thelma and Louise, you got nothin' on me
And you can tell ol' James Dean to get in line
Thanks to Jesus and John Wayne the world will never be the same
You've gotta make history one day at a time
Like John Lennon and Kennedy
I'm with them, yeah, 'cause I believe
You gotta make history one day at a time
Ordinary lyrics - Deana Carter
White lace bedspread, Monet hanging over my head
Big smile on my face, wine glasses all over the place
Your shirt on my floor, I've never done that before
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
[CHORUS]
Don't it feel so good
Flying high without a net above the neighborhood
I love to cross the line
I get a running start and I go five steps at a time
Oh wouldn't be scary
Just being ordinary?
At my church I pray. I had a long talk with the angels today
And they say, "Listen to me...you gotta be a shepard, don't be a sheep"
Stop sign go away cause I ain't stopping for no one today
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
[REPEAT CHORUS]
When I was a little girl my momma used to say,
"You only get one chance in this world and it's a chance you gotta take!"
And 30 years later here I am and I can't wait
La, la, la, la, I can't wait...
[REPEAT CHORUS]
Big smile on my face, wine glasses all over the place
Your shirt on my floor, I've never done that before
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
[CHORUS]
Don't it feel so good
Flying high without a net above the neighborhood
I love to cross the line
I get a running start and I go five steps at a time
Oh wouldn't be scary
Just being ordinary?
At my church I pray. I had a long talk with the angels today
And they say, "Listen to me...you gotta be a shepard, don't be a sheep"
Stop sign go away cause I ain't stopping for no one today
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
[REPEAT CHORUS]
When I was a little girl my momma used to say,
"You only get one chance in this world and it's a chance you gotta take!"
And 30 years later here I am and I can't wait
La, la, la, la, I can't wait...
[REPEAT CHORUS]
In A Heartbeat lyrics - Deana Carter
I can't ignore the voices in my head
The things we never said hunting me down
I fell like I've found myself in pieces on the floor
More broken than before I let you down...
You can lose someone in a heartbeat
You can lose yourself in a memory...
[CHORUS]
Look at me now, I'm going insane
I'm looking back at what remains
What have I done, was it in vain?
Can you forgive me once again?
Say you'll do that, and I'd take it back
In a heartbeat
I can't avoid the will to fall apart
To stop before I start living again
I try to pretend I'm not afraid to set you free
To push you out to sea to wait for the wind...
You can lose someone in a heartbeat
You can lose yourself in a memory...
[REPEAT CHORUS]
What have I done, was it in vain?
Can you forgive me again?
I'd take it back, if you'd say you'll do that
In a heartbeat
Katie lyrics - Deana Carter
Katie likes to run around
In cotton panties and a crown
She driving all the boys insane
Suckin' on a candy cane...
She likes to play the tambourine
Her favorite color's Army green
She's a vegetarian; she's a lovely loaded gun...
[CHORUS]
Katie has a way of seeing things
That everybody else is just afraid to dream of
It's funny how it seems, but when you look at her
I swear, you see love.
She wears diamonds oh her toes
She lets her belly button show
She puts perfume in her hair
You don't look at her, you stare...
[CHORUS]
In cotton panties and a crown
She driving all the boys insane
Suckin' on a candy cane...
She likes to play the tambourine
Her favorite color's Army green
She's a vegetarian; she's a lovely loaded gun...
[CHORUS]
Katie has a way of seeing things
That everybody else is just afraid to dream of
It's funny how it seems, but when you look at her
I swear, you see love.

You don't look at her, you stare...

Atlanta & Birmingham lyrics - Deana Carter
I'm in a hotel room in California
Giving it my best to give you up
I'm leaving on a jet plane to New Orleans
You and me, we didn't see it coming
[Chorus]
But somewhere between Atlanta and Birmingham
We fell in love with just one touch
It was out of our hands
I'm holding on to every word you said
Somewhere between Atlanta and Birmingham
I gotta pick up the pieces of my lonely heart
I want you to know it's not your fault
You got to go to love that's waiting
I hope that your green eyes say what you aren't saying
[Chorus]
Somewhere between Atlanta and Birmingham
We fell in love with just one touch
It was out of our hands
I never thought that my whole world could end
Somewhere between Atlanta and Birmingham
Somewhere between Atlanta and Birmingham
We fell in love with just one touch
It was out of our hands
I never thought that my whole world would end
Somewhere beteen Atlanta and Birmingham
I'm in a hotel room in California
Giving it my best to give you up
Giving it my best to give you up
I'm leaving on a jet plane to New Orleans
You and me, we didn't see it coming
[Chorus]
But somewhere between Atlanta and Birmingham
We fell in love with just one touch
It was out of our hands
I'm holding on to every word you said
Somewhere between Atlanta and Birmingham
I gotta pick up the pieces of my lonely heart
I want you to know it's not your fault
You got to go to love that's waiting
I hope that your green eyes say what you aren't saying
[Chorus]
Somewhere between Atlanta and Birmingham
We fell in love with just one touch
It was out of our hands
I never thought that my whole world could end
Somewhere between Atlanta and Birmingham
Somewhere between Atlanta and Birmingham
We fell in love with just one touch
It was out of our hands
I never thought that my whole world would end
Somewhere beteen Atlanta and Birmingham
I'm in a hotel room in California
Giving it my best to give you up
She's Good For You lyrics - Deana Carter
She parks her car on Woodland Street
She's got a job at the meat-n-three
She's kind of pretty in a perculiar kind of way
And I try hard to like her
Yeah, I try hard to like her...
[CHORUS]
Because she's good for you
She's so good for you
You say she's good for you
That makes her bad, that makes her very bad
For me.
I saw her at the grocery store
Her stuff was obviously yours
It may sound silly but it made me want to cry
I try hard to hide it...
You say she's good for you
She's so good for you
Well if she's good for you
That makes her bad, that makes her very bad
For me.
[BRIDGE]
It's torture
The thought of you touching her
Remembering the way we were...
[REPEAT CHORUS]
[TAG]
Even if that's true
That makes her bad, that makes her very bad
For me.
She's got a job at the meat-n-three
She's kind of pretty in a perculiar kind of way
And I try hard to like her
Yeah, I try hard to like her...
[CHORUS]
Because she's good for you
She's so good for you
You say she's good for you
That makes her bad, that makes her very bad
For me.
I saw her at the grocery store
Her stuff was obviously yours
It may sound silly but it made me want to cry
I try hard to hide it...

That makes her bad, that makes her very bad
For me.

Not Another Love Song lyrics - Deana Carter
I can't help but wonder how
This fire keeps going out
Even when we try to keep it burning
It's hard to let you go
And that's because I know
That holding on is worth a little hurting...
[CHORUS]
I don't wanna write a love song
Not another love song
I cannot take another painful melody
I don't wanna write a love song
Not another love song
Until I know you're coming back to me
I wish that you could stay
I wish it everyday
Even though our love is slowly dying
What's a heart supposed to do
When wishes don't come true
It hurts so much it's hard to keep on trying...
[CHORUS]
This fire keeps going out
Even when we try to keep it burning
It's hard to let you go
And that's because I know
That holding on is worth a little hurting...
[CHORUS]
I don't wanna write a love song
Not another love song
I cannot take another painful melody
I don't wanna write a love song
Not another love song
Until I know you're coming back to me
I wish that you could stay
I wish it everyday
Even though our love is slowly dying
What's a heart supposed to do
When wishes don't come true
It hurts so much it's hard to keep on trying...
[CHORUS]
Sunny Day lyrics - Deana Carter
I ain't picked up my guitar in 15 days
Some music man doesn't give a damn
What I have to say
But he's stealing tears and playing games
That I don't play
I'm not gonna let that son-of-a-bitch take my love away
You can't take my love away...
[CHORUS]
So roll me over, over, over
While you turn your head
Hold me under, under
While I take in my last
It gets colder, colder, colder
While you try to save yourself
God's gonna blow your clouds away
And give me sunny day.
It's on the telephone, the tv and on the radio
Any day now the final whistle is bound to blow
But this ain't the way we have to say we had to go
There's still a chance that hand-in-hand and shore-to-shore
They can't take our love away...
[REPEAT CHORUS]
Some music man doesn't give a damn
What I have to say
But he's stealing tears and playing games
That I don't play
I'm not gonna let that son-of-a-bitch take my love away
You can't take my love away...
[CHORUS]
So roll me over, over, over
While you turn your head
Hold me under, under
While I take in my last
It gets colder, colder, colder
While you try to save yourself
God's gonna blow your clouds away
And give me sunny day.
It's on the telephone, the tv and on the radio
Any day now the final whistle is bound to blow
But this ain't the way we have to say we had to go
There's still a chance that hand-in-hand and shore-to-shore
They can't take our love away...
[REPEAT CHORUS]
Getting Over You lyrics - Deana Carter
Out here out on my own
I admit that it gets me sometimes
It's not that I'm not strong
It's just a different view
I know that I belong
Standing out in the sweet sunshine
I've been up all night long
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
I know that I'm not stuck
Cause in my pocket's a four leaf clover
I'm filling up on luck
The clouds all fade to blue
I'm cutting off your strings
I don't carry your weight no longer
I'm spreading out my wings
I smile and face the truth
[Chorus:]
All the little things are leaving me as I speak
All that used to be is just a memory, yeah
Getting over you, yeah
You might wanna try
But you won't be my demise
Gonna find my peace of mind
I ain't wasting no more time
Getting over you
[Chorus]
Out here on my own
I'm where I belong
Getting over you
I'm forgetting you
I admit that it gets me sometimes
It's not that I'm not strong
It's just a different view
I know that I belong
Standing out in the sweet sunshine
I've been up all night long
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
I know that I'm not stuck
Cause in my pocket's a four leaf clover
I'm filling up on luck
The clouds all fade to blue
I'm cutting off your strings
I don't carry your weight no longer
I'm spreading out my wings
I smile and face the truth
[Chorus:]
All the little things are leaving me as I speak
All that used to be is just a memory, yeah
Getting over you, yeah
You might wanna try
But you won't be my demise
Gonna find my peace of mind
I ain't wasting no more time
Getting over you
[Chorus]
Out here on my own
I'm where I belong
Getting over you
I'm forgetting you
The Story Of My Life lyrics - Deana Carter
I wish I was a little more clear headed
So I could paste the pieces of last night
I try not to regret it
Sifting through the laughter and the lies
I guess that's just the story of my life
I was born in a 60's winter
My mom was young and my dad had an appetite
A saint and a sinner
Wrestling with what's wrong and what's right
I guess that's just the story of my life
When they roll me down the last long highway
You wont find me putting up a fight
If I could have things my way
They'd all be there just soaking up the light
Wave good bye
So I could paste the pieces of last night
I try not to regret it
Sifting through the laughter and the lies
I guess that's just the story of my life
I was born in a 60's winter
My mom was young and my dad had an appetite
A saint and a sinner
Wrestling with what's wrong and what's right
I guess that's just the story of my life
When they roll me down the last long highway
You wont find me putting up a fight
If I could have things my way
They'd all be there just soaking up the light
Wave good bye
You Still Shake Me lyrics - Deana Carter
I ain't in love, I ain't your bud
I ain't your little turtle dove
I ain't your chick, I ain't your squeeze
I ain't the girl I used to be
But baby, you still shake me
I ain't upset, I ain't a wreck
'Cause I forgive and I forget
And I ain't bitter, I ain't sore
And I ain't cryin' anymore
But baby, you still shake me
Yeah baby, you still shake me
Every time I see you out
It makes me want to scream
I can't seem to figure out
What did I ever see
In a fool like you
The things I used to do, I don't
The things I would have, now I won't
Yeah, I'm okay and I'm alright
And I'm not living in denial
But baby, you still shake me
Yeah baby, you still shake me
I ain't in love, I ain't your bud
I ain't your little turtle dove
I ain't your chick, I ain't your squeeze
I ain't the girl I used to be
But baby, you still shake me
Yeah baby, you don't know what you do to me, baby
You shake me baby
I ain't your little turtle dove
I ain't your chick, I ain't your squeeze
I ain't the girl I used to be
But baby, you still shake me
I ain't upset, I ain't a wreck
'Cause I forgive and I forget
And I ain't bitter, I ain't sore
And I ain't cryin' anymore
But baby, you still shake me
Yeah baby, you still shake me
Every time I see you out
It makes me want to scream
I can't seem to figure out
What did I ever see
In a fool like you
The things I used to do, I don't
The things I would have, now I won't
Yeah, I'm okay and I'm alright
And I'm not living in denial
But baby, you still shake me
Yeah baby, you still shake me
I ain't in love, I ain't your bud
I ain't your little turtle dove
I ain't your chick, I ain't your squeeze
I ain't the girl I used to be
But baby, you still shake me
Yeah baby, you don't know what you do to me, baby
You shake me baby
Ruby Brown lyrics - Deana Carter
She danced in the dirty streets
Satin shoes tied to her feet
People 'round here said she was a sight
Every night when the sun went down
She'd curtsey and take a bow
To the man in the moon and the dim street lights
We held in high regard
The rose in the mission yard
Singing, "Buffalo Gals won't you come out tonight"
And her name was Ruby Brown
And she came through shanty town
Like a queen without a crown
And her name was Ruby Brown
Long about ten years ago
She disappeared, why no one knows
But some say she was running for her life
'Cause a mean looking man in a limousine
Came down from New Orleans
He said he came here looking for his wife
And her name was Ruby Brown
And she came through shanty town
Like a queen without a crown
And her name was Ruby Brown
Some say he beat her bad
'Til she just went plain mad
But I say she went where he could never go
And her name was Ruby Brown
And she came through shanty town
Like a queen without a crown
And her name was Ruby Brown
Satin shoes tied to her feet
People 'round here said she was a sight
Every night when the sun went down
She'd curtsey and take a bow
To the man in the moon and the dim street lights
We held in high regard
The rose in the mission yard
Singing, "Buffalo Gals won't you come out tonight"
And her name was Ruby Brown
And she came through shanty town
Like a queen without a crown
And her name was Ruby Brown
Long about ten years ago
She disappeared, why no one knows
But some say she was running for her life
'Cause a mean looking man in a limousine
Came down from New Orleans
He said he came here looking for his wife
And her name was Ruby Brown
And she came through shanty town
Like a queen without a crown
And her name was Ruby Brown
Some say he beat her bad
'Til she just went plain mad
But I say she went where he could never go
And her name was Ruby Brown
And she came through shanty town
Like a queen without a crown
And her name was Ruby Brown
Absence Of The Heart lyrics - Deana Carter
I write you letters but I don't send them
I just can't figure out how to end them
I try to reach you you're right beside me
There's something missing and we can't deny that
We live together separately
We don't wanna fall apart
But every time we kiss
There's an emptiness
An absence of the heart
How did we lose it? Why did this happen?
When did we take it all for granted?
We sit in silence inside we're crying
How can we keep our love from dying?
We live together separately
We don't wanna fall apart
But every time we kiss
There's an emptiness
An absence of the heart
We live together separately
We don't wanna fall apart
But every time we kiss
There's an emptiness
An absence of the heart
We live together separately
We don't wanna fall apart
But every time we kiss
There's an emptiness
An absence of the heart
I write you letters but I don't send them
I just can't figure out how to end them
I try to reach you you're right beside me
There's something missing and we can't deny that
We live together separately
We don't wanna fall apart
But every time we kiss
There's an emptiness
An absence of the heart
How did we lose it? Why did this happen?
When did we take it all for granted?
We sit in silence inside we're crying
How can we keep our love from dying?
We live together separately
We don't wanna fall apart
But every time we kiss
There's an emptiness
An absence of the heart
We live together separately
We don't wanna fall apart
But every time we kiss
There's an emptiness
An absence of the heart
We live together separately
We don't wanna fall apart
But every time we kiss
There's an emptiness
An absence of the heart
I write you letters but I don't send them
Brand New Key lyrics - Deana Carter
I rode my bicycle past your window last night
I rollerskated to your door at daylight
It almost seems that you're avoiding me
I'm okay alone but you've got something I need
Well, I've gotta brand new pair of rollerskates
You got a brand new key
I think that we should get together
And try them out ya see
I've been lookin' around a while
You got somethin' for me
Oh, I've gotta brand new pair of rollerskates
You got a brand new key
I ride my bike, I rollerskate, don't drive no car
Don't go too fast, but I go pretty far
For somebody who don't drive I've been all around the world
Some people say I've done alright for a girl
I asked your mother if you were at home
She said yes, but you weren't alone
Oh sometimes I think that you're avoiding me
I'm okay alone but you got something I need
Well, I've gotta brand new pair of rollerskates
You got a brand new key
I think that we should get together
And try them out ya see
Oh, I've gotta brand new pair of rollerskates
You got a brand new key
Oh, I've gotta brand new pair of rollerskates
You got a brand new key
I rollerskated to your door at daylight
It almost seems that you're avoiding me
I'm okay alone but you've got something I need
Well, I've gotta brand new pair of rollerskates
You got a brand new key
I think that we should get together
And try them out ya see
I've been lookin' around a while
You got somethin' for me
Oh, I've gotta brand new pair of rollerskates
You got a brand new key
I ride my bike, I rollerskate, don't drive no car
Don't go too fast, but I go pretty far
For somebody who don't drive I've been all around the world
Some people say I've done alright for a girl
I asked your mother if you were at home
She said yes, but you weren't alone
Oh sometimes I think that you're avoiding me
I'm okay alone but you got something I need
Well, I've gotta brand new pair of rollerskates
You got a brand new key
I think that we should get together
And try them out ya see
Oh, I've gotta brand new pair of rollerskates
You got a brand new key
Oh, I've gotta brand new pair of rollerskates
You got a brand new key
Michelangelo Sky lyrics - Deana Carter
We fell in love underneath a Michelangelo sky
We saw the same things in the shapes of the clouds rolling by
A blanket of leaves and the soft summer wind
Feeling the heat of the sun on our skin
That's when I learned how to fly
One kiss and you painted a picture of heaven
It's there when I look in your eyes
I swear I can see forever
Underneath a Michelangelo sky
One kiss and you painted a picture of heaven
It's there when I look in your eyes
I swear I can see forever
Underneath a Michelangelo sky
Until that day I was living in black and white
The touch of your hand brings all these colors to life
I get the feeling this feeling won't fade
Here in your arms I get carried away
Back to the very first time
One kiss and you painted a picture of heaven
It's there when I look in your eyes
I swear I can see forever
Underneath a Michelangelo sky
One kiss and you painted a picture of heaven
It's there when I look in your eyes
I swear I can see forever
Underneath a Michelangelo sky
One kiss and you painted a picture of heaven
It's there when I look in your eyes
I swear I can see forever
Underneath a Michelangelo sky
We saw the same things in the shapes of the clouds rolling by
A blanket of leaves and the soft summer wind
Feeling the heat of the sun on our skin
That's when I learned how to fly
One kiss and you painted a picture of heaven
It's there when I look in your eyes
I swear I can see forever
Underneath a Michelangelo sky
One kiss and you painted a picture of heaven
It's there when I look in your eyes
I swear I can see forever
Underneath a Michelangelo sky
Until that day I was living in black and white
The touch of your hand brings all these colors to life
I get the feeling this feeling won't fade
Here in your arms I get carried away
Back to the very first time
One kiss and you painted a picture of heaven
It's there when I look in your eyes
I swear I can see forever
Underneath a Michelangelo sky
One kiss and you painted a picture of heaven
It's there when I look in your eyes
I swear I can see forever
Underneath a Michelangelo sky
One kiss and you painted a picture of heaven
It's there when I look in your eyes
I swear I can see forever
Underneath a Michelangelo sky
