Love Is Everything Lyrics
(Lyrics to the Full Album on one page)

I Got A Car

She was leaning on a rail in a cotton dress
Summer tanned pretty, little perfect mess
With a story that could only be anybody's guess
And I was thinking that I probably didn't stand a chance
But I rolled up my sleeves, walked up and I said
Hey, I don't know you but I'd kinda like a shot
She said, I saw you comin over, I already thought it over
And ok, so now what

And I said, well I got a car, she said, there's something
At least it's a start, I said, it's better than nothing
I ain't in no hurry but I'm ready when you are
And she said, where do you think all this is going
I said, there ain't no way of knowing
I guess I hadn't thought it through that far
But I got a car

So, we let the wheels turn and the windows down
We let ourselves go all the way through town
She never said stop and I never asked her why
We drove into the night, when outta nowhere
She said, I'd give anything to never go back there
And I kinda wish this day would never end
She said, I could use a change but I don't even know where

And I said, well I got a car, she said, there's something
At least it's a start, I said, it's better than nothing
I ain't in no hurry but I'm ready when you are
And she said, where do you think all this is going
I said, there ain't no way of knowing
I really hadn't thought it through that far
And I can't promise you the moon and stars
But I got a car

We got lost in the miles, lost track of the days
'Til we finally found a stopping place
When the doctor's said, you know what's on the way?
And we found ourselves in a little white house
One Sunday morning, rain pouring down
She said, I think it's time but all the lines are out

And her eyes teared up and she said, what are we gonna do now?
And I said, well I got a car, she said, there's something
You think it'll start, I said, it's already running
Got your things in the back and I'm ready when you are
She said, are you sure it'll get us where we're goin'?
I said, if there's one thing I know girl, it's gotten us this far
And I don't mean to hurry but I'm ready when you are

Give It All We Got Tonight

July moonlight shines
Your pretty little head on my shoulder
Pull over on the side of the road
Oh my God, you're something
Like nothing I've ever seen
If I'm asleep girl, let me dream

Baby fall into my kiss
It should just happen like this
Trust it so much that there's no one else but us and
This moment that says it's so right
'Cause that's all we have in this life
Drink up this love, baby, give it all we got tonight

Summer honeysuckle
Leaking through a rolled down window
We both know when that seat lays back
Anything can happen
So imagine it'll never end
Just close your eyes and you can see that we are where we're meant to be

Baby fall into my kiss
It should just happen like this
Trust it so much that there's no one else but us and
This moment that says it's so right
'Cause that's all we have in this life
Baby, drink up this love, give it all we got tonight
Give it all we got tonight

Baby fall into my kiss
It should just happen like this
Trust it so much that there's no one else but us and
This moment that says it's so right
That's all we have in this life
Drink up this love, c'mon, give it all we got tonight
Give it all we got tonight

Blue Melodies

I don't know how to write you a song
That says, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong
I can't find the words that don't make it cheap
It's right on the verge and just out of reach
It must be a sad song with a blue melody
and I'll bet you it's lonesome, as lonesome as can be
But I'm starting to wonder if there's such a thing
As a sad song that's too sad to sing

Maybe tonight, maybe this time tomorrow
me and this guitar will get right with this sorrow
And I'll play it for you, and you'll come back to me
'Cause you were always a fool for the blue melodies

So it must be a sad song in three quarter time
That chills down to the bone when the steel guitars cry
But if it's not the one that brings you home to me
Then it's just a sad song that's too sad to sing

Awe but if it's not the one that brings you back to me
Then it's just a sad song that's too sad to sing

Oh, it's just a sad song that's too sad to sing

I Just Can t Go On Dying Like This

I'm driving in my car alone
You called me on the telephone
How many times will it take till I'm convinced
That you're using me, I'm just a used-to-be
It's a lie, I know it's a lie
But I just can't go on dying like this

Can I see you tonight,
Baby I'll act just like you want me to
Or is that just exactly what I'm not supposed to do?

I'll just stop in here, have a glass of beer
I'm just a fool I guess
But I just can't go on dying like this

Here I am again, it's 4 a.m.
I think I'll play that song again
The one called "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"
And I'll wonder where you are tonight
I don't know, I just don't know
But I just can't go on dying like this

Can I see you tonight,
Baby I'll act just like you want me to
Or is that just exactly what I'm not supposed to do?

I'll just stop in here, have a glass of beer
I'm just a fool I guess
But I just can't go on dying like this

Lord knows I just can't go on dying like this

I Thought I Heard My Heart Sing

Chorus:
Well, I Do what my heart says do
And Right now it's pointing at you
Hey girl, you're tugging' on my heart strings
Well, I've seen everything
I thought I heard my heart sing

I went home flying high
I met the girl of my dreams tonight
A wild fire, screaming' inside
I know it's real 'cause my heart don't lie

Chorus

Well, here I am knocking on your door
This old hound wants to talk a little more
The T.V.A. and the hoover dam
Don't turn me on like holding your hand

Chorus x2

Well, I've seen everything
I thought I heard my heart sing
Well, I've seen everything
I thought I heard my heart sing
Heart sing

That s What Breaking Hearts Do

You try and try to erase
That lonely look on your face
You try and try to pretend
Soon it's all gonna end
You cry a few more tears
Into a few more beers
The days turn to weeks
And the weeks feel like years

Chorus:
That's what breaking hearts do
That's what breaking hearts do
They cause you so much pain
Make you go insane
That's what breaking hearts do

Every time you try to walk
in circles you walk
Every time you try to talk
In circles you talk
You can't think straight
Your mind starts to spin
You can try to fight it
But you know you can't win

Feel like your hands are tied
Bound up, strapped down, busted inside
Don't have the will to find your way
And you don't think you can take it even one more day

Feel like your hands are tied
Bound up, strapped down, busted inside
Don't have the will to find your way
And you don't think you can take it even one more day

they keep you looking out your window
they keep you checking your phone
You hear a sound at your door
You walk across that floor
But you're still there all alone

Chorus

They cause you so much pain
They make you go insane
That's what breaking hearts do.

When Love Comes Around Again

There's things you don't know 'til you know
Like when somebody's gone before they go
When it comes to love, you never really learn
Just when you think you've got it figured out
And you think you know what love's all about
That's just about the time you're gonna get burned
Oh, you tell yourself you've had enough
But that'll all change my friend
When love comes around again

Chorus:
You say, you're swearing' off
'Cause the only thing that love has ever done for you
is to make you hurt and cry, feel like you want to die
Break your heart in two
But then you'll see a smile
That'll knock you off your feet and you can't wait to meet
the girl behind that face
That's all it's gonna take and you'll fall right back in
when love comes around again

Life ain't just coincidence
Things happen for a reason that don't make sense
Till you look back, it's 20/20 then
You know I never would have met my girl
If somebody else hadn't wrecked my world
And opened that door for her to walk right in
Oh, I've stood right where you stand
But that'll all change my friend
When love comes around again

Chorus

Yeah, that's all it's gonna take
And you'll fall right back in
When love comes around again

The Night Is Young

There's a little place I know
Right down the road
They call a hideaway
They party night and day
Girl, I think that it's high time
That you and I cut loose, unwind
It's time to play
Oh, it's Friday
The night is young and the sun's been down a long time

It's half-past a half-full glass
And since you asked
We're gonna dance the night
Right into broad daylight
You know it'd be worth our while
So, give me that come get me smile
You know the one, mmm
And I'll come undone
The night is young but the sun's been down a long time

It's been awhile since that old sun departed
Let's take our time and finish what we started
The night is young, the sun's been down a long time

Let's Throw ourselves a night to remember
'Til there's nothing left of this place but burning embers
The night is young but the sun's been down a long time

I love to see you, let your hair down
Throw your arms 'round
Me, look in my eyes
And let your laughter fly
All week long, I've waited on
My chance to hold you all night long
And it's here girl
Baby, rock my world
The night is young but the sun's been down a long time

Let's Throw ourselves a night to remember
'Til there's nothing left of this place but burning embers
The night is young but the sun's been down a long time
Oh, the night is young but the sun has been down a long time

Sittin On The Fence

She's gotta body like a hundred dollar bill
soft as satin, smooth as silk
And to top all that, she's got a heart to match

I could do a lot worse I know
I'd be a damn fool to let her go
Shouldn't be a doubt
Still here I am

Chorus:
Sittin' on a stool, sitting' on the fence
Tryin' to play it cool, tryin' to talk some sense
Into this crazy heart, lookin' for a sign
Do I let her go or do I make her mine
While there's still a chance
Sittin' on a stool, sitting' on the fence

Guess I should probably settle up and head for the door
MAybe I'll just stay and have one more
to calm my nerves
one more can't hurt

Truth is I don't know what she sees in me
She says, I'm all she'll ever want or need
On Gond's green earth, but one more can't hurt

Chorus

Do I run to her and tell her she's the one
Or do I do just like I've always done

Sittin' on a stool, sitting' on the fence
Tryin' to play it cool, tryin' to talk some sense
Into this crazy, mixed-up heart of mine
Do I let her go or do I make her mine
While there's still a chance
Sittin' on a stool, sittin' on the fence
Sittin' on a stool, sittin' on the fence

I Believe

The nights as clear as a big desert sky,
but its hard to see stars with these tears in my eyes,
Its hard enough to cry, when theres 26 reasons why
there's broken hearts that'll never beat the same,
shattered lives still reeling from the pain,
our plans and dreams now gone,
oh how did you move on

but i believe there's someone looking after me
someone beside me, night and day to light the way
its hard to d something you can't see
but i believe
i believe

theres 26 angels looking down from above
resting in His mercy, grace, and love
time may never heal the sadness that we feel

but i believe there's someone looking after me
someone beside me, night and day to light the way
its hard to conceive something you can't see
but i believe
i believe

rivers flow now that used to be dry
as people all over the world start to cry but i believe

Love Is Everything

It's a whole lot more than going to the store for a wedding ring
It's kissing' and a hugging' but it's also the kicking and the cussing thing
I've been told

Love is everything
it's a smile on your face on a cold winter day at the thought of spring
It's getting up at night for the cry of a little bitty baby thing
And it's growing old

Love is everything
It's those fires that daddy stoked those nights to keep you warm
It's the hell your mama went through the day you were born
And it's a thunderstorm

Love is everything
Oh, it's going off to war, it's the back and forth on a front porch swing
It's the kiss that you got in the old parking lot of the dairy queen
And it's you and me

Love is everything
It's looking out for everybody else but number one
And it's all that really matters when all's said and done
And the race is run

Love is everything
It's a rose on a stone, it's the words in a song that the chorir sings
it's the tears of goodbye and the place that you fly to, to get your wings
Yeah love's the king
Love is everything
Love is everything

You Don't Know What You're Missing

Sittin' at the bar I overheard a couple guys, one was complaining
About his life and his wife and everyday things
Said, his kids were getting' big and getting' hard to handle
The other guy was sipping whiskey, wasn't saying a thing

The first guy kept talking for what seemed like forever
Said, I never have money or time like I used to
He went on and on, till the second guy finally sat down his whiskey
Looked him straight in the eye and said, lucky you.

Chorus:
You don't know what it feels like living this lonely
You don't know what it sounds like when nobody's home
You've been talking and man, I've been doing some listening
You don't know what you're missing, till it's gone

The second guy said, I used to have all your problems
But hindsight's 20/20 and a fool is blind
So, please excuse me if I have to end our conversation
And forgive me if I can't sympathize

Chorus

You don't know what you're missing till it's gone

When The Credits Roll

I've played the rebel teenager, the mysterious stranger
The wild child on the run
I've been the college dropout, the commitment cop out
The comin' home prodigal son
It feels kinda like a movie
Makes me wonder what I'm gonna see

Chorus:
When the credits roll and the show is over
And I see all the parts I played
Get a glimpse of my soul up on that screen
I only hope I can say
I was a little less villain
And a little more hero
When the credits roll

Was I in it for the money, was I trying' to be funny
Was it all about me being right
Was I a stand up witness, did I offer some forgiveness
Help somebody see the light
When the curtain comes down some day
I wonder what the crtic'll say

Chorus x2
