  • 1. Cowboy Casanova

    Carrie Underwood/Mike Elizondo/Brett James (BMI)/(ASCAP)

    You better take it from me

    That boy is like a disease

    You run and you try and you’re tryin' to hide

    And you're wondering why you can't get free

    He's like a curse he's like a drug

    You get addicted to his love

    You wanna get out but he’s holdin' you down

    'Cause you can't live without one more touch

    He's a, a good time cowboy Casanova

    Leaning up against the record machine

    He looks like a cool drink of water but he's candy coated misery

    He's a devil in disguise a snake with blue eyes

    And he only comes out at night

    Gives you feelings that you don't wanna fight

    You better run for your life
    I see that look on your face

    You ain't hearing what I say

    So I’ll say it again ‘cause I been where you been

    And I know how it ends you can't get away

    Don't even look in his eyes

    He'll tell you nothing but lies

    And you wanna believe but you won’t be deceived

    If you listen to me and take my advice

    He's a, a good time cowboy Casanova

    Leaning up against the record machine

    He looks like a cool drink of water but he's candy coated misery

    He's a devil in disguise a snake with blue eyes

    And he only comes out at night

    Gives you feelings that you don't wanna fight

    You better run for your life
    Run, run away don't let him mess with your mind

    He'll tell you anything you wanna hear

    He'll break your heart it's just a matter of time

    But just remember
    He's a, a good time cowboy Casanova

    Leaning up against the record machine

    He looks like a cool drink of water but he's candy coated misery

    He's a devil in disguise a snake with blue eyes

    And he only comes out at night

    Gives you feelings that you don't wanna fight

    You better run for your life
    Oh, you better run for your life

    Oh, you better run for your life

  • 2. Quitter

    Here's how it goes
    Boy meets girl, girl leaves boy
    That's all I know
    All I've done, all my life

    Cuz throughout my history
    I've only been with jerks
    Who couldn't take it
    But you see the picket fence
    A swing on the front porch with us two on it

    When I believe that nothing lasts forever
    You stay with me, keeping us together
    And make me feel, like I never ever wanna give you up
    'Til now, I've always been a quitter

    You rescued me
    Saved my life, just in time
    Saw past all my issues and scars
    And made me try

    Cuz, ooh, the way you’re kissing me makes it hard to breathe
    But I still like it
    Oh oh it truly feels like a dream, you know exactly how I want it

    When I believe that nothing lasts forever
    You stay with me, keeping us together
    And make me feel, like I never ever wanna give you up
    'Til now, I've always been a quitter

    I've always been a quitter

    When I believe that nothing lasts forever
    You stay with me, keeping us together
    And make me feel, like I never ever wanna give you up
    'Til now, I've always been a quitter

    I've always been a quitter

  • 3. Mama’s Song

    Mama, you taught me to do the right things
    So now you have to let your baby fly
    You’ve given me everything that I will need
    To make it through this crazy thing called life

    And I know you watched me grow up
    And only want what’s best for me
    And I think I found the answer to your prayers…

    And he is good so good
    He treats your little girl like a real man should
    He is good so good
    He makes promises he keeps
    No he’s never gonna leave
    So don’t you worry about me
    Don’t you worry about me

    Mama there’s no way you’ll ever lose me
    Giving me away is not goodbye
    As you watch me walk down to my future
    I hope tears of joy are in your eyes…’cause

    He is good so good
    And he treats your little girl like a real man should
    He is good so good
    He makes promises he keeps
    No he’s never gonna leave
    So don’t you worry about me
    Don’t you worry about me

    And when I watch my baby grow up
    I’ll only want what’s best for her
    And I hope she’ll find the answer to my prayers
    And that she’ll say

    He is good so good
    And he treats your little girl like a real man should
    He is good so good
    He makes promises he keeps
    No he’s never gonna leave
    So don’t you worry about me
    Don’t you worry about me

    Mama don’t you worry about me
    Don’t you worry about me

  • 4. Change

    Whatcha gonna do with the 36 cents
    Sticky with Coke on your floorboard
    When a woman on the street is huddled in the cold
    On a sidewalk vent trying to keep warm
    Do you call her over, hand her the change
    Ask her story, ask her her name
    Or do you tell yourself

    You're just a fool
    Just a fool to believe you can change the world
    You're just a fool
    Just a fool to believe you can change the world

    Oh, whatcha gonna do when you're watching TV
    And an ad comes on yeah you know the kind
    Flashing up pictures of a child in need
    For a dime a day you could save a life
    Do you call the number, reach out a hand
    Or do you change the channel, call it a scam
    Or do you tell yourself

    You're just a fool
    Just a fool to believe you can change the world
    Don't listen to 'em when they say
    You're just a fool
    Just a fool to believe you can change the world
    Oh, the smallest thing can make all the difference
    Love is alive, don't listen to 'em when they say
    You're just a fool
    Just a fool to believe you can change the world

    The world's so big it can break your heart
    And you just want to help not sure where to start
    So you close your eyes, and send up a prayer into the dark

    You're just a fool
    Just a fool to believe you can change the world
    Don't listen to 'em when they say
    You're just a fool
    Just a fool to believe you can change the world
    Oh, the smallest thing can make all the difference
    Love is alive, don't you listen to 'em when they say
    You're just a fool
    Just a fool to believe you can change the world

  • 5. Undo It

    I should’ve known by the way you passed me by
    There was something in your eyes
    And it wasn’t right
    I should’ve walked but I never had the chance
    Everything got out of hand
    And I let it slide

    Now I only have myself to blame
    For falling for your stupid games
    I wish my life could be the way
    It was before I saw your face

    You stole my happy
    You made me cry
    Took the lonely
    And took me for a ride
    And I wanna undo it
    You had my heart
    Now I want it back
    I’m starting to see everything you lack
    Boy you blew it
    You put me through it
    I wanna undo it

    Na na na na na
    Na na na na na
    Na na na na na na

    Now your photos don’t have a picture frame
    And I never say your name
    And I never will
    And all your things
    Well I threw them in the trash
    And I’m not even sad

    Now you only have yourself to blame
    For playing all those stupid games
    You’re always going to be the same
    Oh no, you’ll never change

    You stole my happy
    You made me cry
    Took the lonely
    And took me for a ride
    And I wanna undo it
    You had my heart
    Now I want it back
    I’m starting to see everything you lack
    Boy you blew it
    You put me through it
    I wanna undo it

    Na na na na na
    Na na na na na
    Na na na na na na

    You want my future, you can’t have it
    I’m still trying to erase you from my past
    I need you gone so fast

    You stole my happy
    You made me cry
    Took the lonely
    And took me for a ride
    And I wanna undo it
    You had my heart
    Now I want it back
    I’m starting to see everything you lack
    Boy you blew it
    You put me through it
    I wanna undo it

    You stole my happy
    You made me cry
    Took the lonely
    And took me for a ride
    Boy you blew it
    You put me through it
    I wanna undo it

  • 6. Someday When I Stop Loving You

    One foot on the bus 'bout half past nine
    I knew that you were leaving this time
    I thought about laying down in its path
    Thinking that you might get off for that

    I remember that night we laid in bed
    Naming all our kids that we hadn't had yet
    One for your grandma and one for mine
    Said we’d draw straws when it came time

    I’ll move on baby just like you
    When the desert floods
    And the grass turns blue
    When a sailing ship don't need her moon
    It’ll break my heart but I’ll get through
    Someday when I stop loving you

    I bet all I had on a thing called love
    I guess in the end it wasn't enough
    And it’s hard to watch you leave right now
    I’m gonna have to learn to let you go somehow
    Somehow

    I’ll move on baby just like you
    When the desert floods
    And the grass turns blue
    When a sailing ship don't need her moon
    It’ll break my heart but I’ll get through
    Someday when I stop loving you

    Oohhh….
    Oh someday
    Oh someday

    I’ll move on baby just like you
    When the desert floods
    And the grass turns blue
    When a sailing ship don't need her moon
    It’ll break my heart but I’ll get through
    Someday when I stop loving you
    Someday when I stop loving you

  • 7. Songs Like This

    Wanna find some boy rip his heart right out
    First man I see gonna take him down
    It ain't the Christian thing to do they say
    But someone somewhere’s gotta pay

    And if it wasn't for guys like you
    There wouldn't be songs like this
    And if you hadn't gone and done me wrong
    I wouldn't go off like this
    Yeah, even I’m surprised how easy sweet revenge rolls off my lips
    If it wasn't for guys like you
    There wouldn't be songs like this

    Broke my TV, pawned my guitar
    After maxing out my credit cards
    You lied much too much, and you lied again
    Caught you on the couch with my best friend

    And if it wasn't for guys like you
    There wouldn't be songs like this
    And if you hadn't gone and done me wrong
    I wouldn't go off like this
    Yeah, even I’m surprised how easy sweet revenge rolls off my lips
    No, if it wasn't for guys like you
    There wouldn't be

    Songs like this one that
    Tell the whole world just
    What a jerk you are

    If it wasn't for guys like you
    There wouldn't be songs like this
    And if you hadn't gone and done me wrong
    I wouldn't go off like this
    Yeah, even I’m surprised how easy sweet revenge rolls off my lips
    Well, if it wasn't for guys like you
    There wouldn't be songs like this

    No, if it wasn't for guys like you
    There wouldn't be songs like this

  • 8. Temporary Home

    Little boy six years old
    A little too used to being alone
    Another new mom and dad, another school
    Another house, that’ll never be home
    When people ask him how he likes this place
    He looks up and says with a smile upon his face

    This is my temporary home
    It’s not where I belong
    Windows and rooms
    That I’m passing through
    This is just a stop
    On the way to where I’m going
    I’m not afraid because I know
    This is my temporary home

    Young mom on her own
    She needs a little help, got nowhere to go
    She’s looking for a job, looking for a way out
    ‘Cause a halfway house will never be a home
    At night she whispers to her baby girl
    Someday we’ll find our place here in this world

    This is our temporary home
    It’s not where we belong
    Windows and rooms
    That we’re passing through
    This is just a stop
    On the way to where we’re going
    I’m not afraid because I know
    This is our temporary home

    Old man, hospital bed
    The room is filled with people he loves
    And he whispers
    “Don’t cry for me I’ll see you all some day”
    He looks up and says “I can see God’s face”

    This is my temporary home
    It’s not where I belong
    Windows and rooms
    That I’m passing through
    This was just a stop
    On the way to where I’m going
    I’m not afraid because I know
    This was my temporary home
    This is our temporary home

  • 9. This Time

    Maybe it’s the way that the stars are aligned
    That’s makin’ me feel this way tonight
    Maybe it’s the words you left unsaid
    Maybe it’s the stardust in my head

    But I wanna tell ya
    That my heart is busting at the seams, yeah and
    I can’t wait another minute
    Life is short, love is sweet
    Ain’t no time like this time baby

    Maybe it’s the way that the night is still
    Or the sound of the rain on my windowsill
    That’s making all the pieces fit
    Makin’ it all make perfect sense

    But I wanna tell ya
    That my heart is busting at the seams, yeah and
    I can’t wait another minute
    Oh, life is short, love is sweet
    Ain’t no time like this time baby

    Ooh, yeah

    Goes by so fast
    Can’t get it back
    There ain’t no time
    Like this time

    Yeah, I just wanna tell ya
    That my heart is busting at the seams, yeah and
    I can’t wait another minute
    Oh, life is short, love is sweet
    Ain’t no time like this time baby

    My little baby

    Maybe it’s the way that the stars are aligned
    And there ain’t no time
    Ain’t no time
    Ain’t no time
    Like this time baby

    Ooh yeah
    Maybe it’s the way that the night is still
    Or the sound of the rain on my windowsill, yeah yeah

  • 10. Look At Me

    I would bet my life like I bet my heart
    That you were the one baby
    I've never been so sure of anything before
    You’re driving my heart crazy
    I can't hold out
    I can't hold back now
    Like I’ve done before

    Darling look at me
    I've fallen like a fool for you
    Darling can't you see
    I'd do anything you want me to
    I tell myself I’m in too deep
    Then I fall a little farther
    Every time you look at me

    How do you do that, babe, make me feel like I’m
    The only girl alive for you
    I don’t know what it is, that makes me fall like this
    First time in your arms I knew
    The way you held me
    I knew that this could be
    What I’ve been waiting to find

    Darling look at me
    I've fallen like a fool for you
    Darling can't you see
    I'd do anything you want me to
    I tell myself
    I’m gettin' in too deep
    Then I fall a little farther
    Every time you look at me

    Every time you look at me

  • 11. Unapologize

    Last night
    I was pouring out my heart
    Like a waterfall to you
    And with one kiss I was a runaway train
    Flying off the track to you
    “I love you,” came flooding out
    Couldn’t make it stop, couldn’t shut my mouth
    Felt like a fool then I lied and said I was sorry, but…

    I unapologize
    I meant every word
    Won’t take back the way I feel about you
    Can’t unsay what you heard
    ‘Cause you heard me right
    And I won’t try
    To fight ‘em back or hide my feelings for you
    I unapologize

    You know
    People say a lot of things
    That they don’t really mean
    And last night
    I told a little white lie
    Hoping you’d forget the scene
    Where it felt like a movie under that porch light
    Couldn’t help myself when you held me tight
    Said what I meant then I lied and said I was sorry

    I unapologize
    I meant every word
    Won’t take back the way I feel about you
    Can’t unsay what you heard
    ‘Cause you heard me right
    And I won’t try
    To fight ‘em back or hide my feelings for you
    I unapologize

    Oh - there’s no time to be
    Holding it all in trying to pretend
    That I don’t feel anything
    Oh - I shouldn’t have said I’m sorry

    I meant every word
    Won’t take back the way I feel about you
    Can’t unsay what you heard
    ‘Cause you heard me right
    And I won’t try
    To fight ‘em back or hide my feelings for you
    I unapologize

    ‘Cause you heard me right
    Yeah (x5)
    I unapologize

  • 12. What Can I Say (featuring Sons of Sylvia)

    Piercing words
    Eyes are red
    Watched your taillights in the rain
    Empty heart filled with regret
    I know we were both to blame
    And I’m not sorry that it’s over
    But for the way we let it end
    So I said all I had to say
    In letters that I threw away

    And you should know
    Please believe me
    I’ve picked up the phone a thousand times
    And tried to dial your number
    But it’s been so long
    It’s never easy
    It’s like tryin’ to spin the world the other way
    What can I say

    How did it come to this
    I think about you all the time
    It’s no excuse but I wish
    That I never made you cry
    I’m not sorry that it’s over
    But for the way we let it end
    I couldn’t find the words to say

    And you should know
    Please believe me
    I’ve picked up the phone a thousand times
    And tried to dial your number
    But it’s been so long
    It’s never easy
    It’s like tryin’ to spin the world the other way
    So what can I say (what can I say)
    What can I say (what can I say)

    I hate to think
    All you had of me (I said all I had to say)
    Is a memory I left you
    Space between what was meant to be (in letters that I threw away)
    And the mess that it turned into

    And you should know
    Please believe me
    I’ve picked up the phone a thousand times
    And tried to dial your number
    And it’s been so long
    It’s never easy
    It’s like tryin’ to spin the world the other way
    It’s like tryin’ to spin the world the other way
    What can I say
    What can I say (what can I say)
