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 faceYou 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 mindHe'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 CasanovaLeaning 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 lifeOh, 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 lifeCuz 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 itWhen 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 quitterYou rescued me
Saved my life, just in time
Saw past all my issues and scars
And made me tryCuz, 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 itWhen 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 quitterI'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 quitterI'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 lifeAnd 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 meMama 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…’causeHe 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 meAnd 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 sayHe 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 meMama 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 yourselfYou'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 worldOh, 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 yourselfYou'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 worldThe 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 darkYou'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 slideNow 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 faceYou 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 itNa na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na naNow 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 sadNow 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 changeYou 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 itNa na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na naYou want my future, you can’t have it
I’m still trying to erase you from my past
I need you gone so fastYou 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 itYou 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 thatI 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 timeI’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 youI 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
SomehowI’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 youOohhh….
Oh someday
Oh somedayI’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 payAnd 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 thisBroke 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 friendAnd 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 beSongs like this one that
Tell the whole world just
What a jerk you areIf 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 thisNo, 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 faceThis 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 homeYoung 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 worldThis 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 homeOld 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 headBut 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 babyMaybe 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 senseBut 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 babyOoh, yeah
Goes by so fast
Can’t get it back
There ain’t no time
Like this timeYeah, 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 babyMy 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 babyOoh 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 beforeDarling 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 meHow 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 findDarling 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 meEvery 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 unapologizeYou 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 sorryI 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 unapologizeOh - 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 sorryI 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 awayAnd 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 sayHow 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 sayAnd 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 intoAnd 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) -
