Lyrics

• 1. Wasted

  Standing at the back door she tried to make it fast
  One tear hit the hard wood, It fell like broken glass
  She said sometimes love slips away
  And you just can't get it back lets face it
  For one split second she almost turned around
  But that would be like pouring rain drops back into a cloud
  So she took another step and said
  I see the way out and I'm gonna' take it

  I don't wanna' spend my life jaded, waiting
  To wake up one day and find
  That I let all of these years go by wasted

  Another glass of whisky, but it still don't kill the pain
  He stumbles to the sink and pours it down the drain
  He says it's time to be a man and stop living for yesterday
  Gotta face it

  (Chrous)
  Cause' I don't wanna' spend my life jaded, waiting
  To wake up one day and find
  That I've let all these years go by wasted
  Oh I don't wanna' keep on wishing, missing
  The still of the morning, the color of the night
  I ain't spending no more time wasted

  She kept drivin' along till the moon and the sun
  were floating side-by-side
  He looked in the mirror and his eyes were clear
  For the first time in a while

  (Repeat Chorus)

• 2. Don't Forget To Remember Me

  Eighteen years have come and gone
  For momma they flew by
  But for me they drug on and on
  We were loading up that Chevy
  Both tryin' not to cry
  Momma kept on talkin' puttin' off good-bye
  Then she took my hand and said
  Baby don't forget

  (Chorus)
  Before you hit the highway you better stop for gas
  There's a Fifty in the ashtray in case you run short on cash
  Here's a map and here's a Bible if you ever lose your way
  Just one more thing before you leave
  Don't forget to remember me

  This downtown apartment sure makes me miss home
  And those bills there on the counter keep telling me I'm on my own
  And just like every Sunday I called momma up last night
  And even when it's not I tell her everything's alright
  Before we hung up I said
  Hey momma, don't forget

  (Second Chorus)
  To tell my baby sister I'll see her in the fall
  And tell mamaw that I miss her yeah, I should give her a call
  And make sure you tell Daddy that I'm still his little girl
  Yeah I still feel like I'm where I'm supposed to be
  Don't forget to remember me

  Tonight I find myself kneeling by the bed to pray
  I haven't done this in a while so I don't know what to say
  But Lord I feel so small sometimes in this big old place
  Yeah, I know there are more important things
  But don't forget to remember me

• 3. Some Hearts

  I've never been the kind that you'd call lucky
  Always stumbling' around in circles
  But I must have stumbled into something
  Look at me
  Am I really alone with you
  I wake up feeling like my life's worth living
  Can't recall when I last felt that way
  Guess it must be all this love you're giving
  Never knew never knew it could be like this
  But I guess

  Some hearts
  They just get all the right breaks
  Some hearts have the stars on their side
  Some hearts,
  They just have it so easy
  Some hearts just get lucky sometimes
  Some hearts just get lucky sometimes

  Now who'd have thought someone like you could love me
  You're the last thing my heart expected
  Who'd have thought I'd ever find somebody
  Someone who someone who makes me feel like this
  Well I guess

  Some hearts
  They just get all the right breaks
  Some hearts have the stars on their side
  Some hearts,
  They just have it so easy
  Some hearts just get lucky sometimes
  Some hearts just get lucky sometimes

  Even hearts like mine
  Get lucky, lucky sometimes

  Some hearts
  They just get all the right breaks
  Some hearts have the stars on their side
  Some hearts,
  They just have it so easy
  Some hearts just get lucky sometimes
  Some hearts just get lucky sometimes

• 4. Jesus, Take The Wheel

  She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati
  On a snow white Christmas Eve
  Going home to see her Momma and her Daddy
  With the baby in the backseat
  Fifty miles to go and she was running low
  on faith and gasoline
  It'd been a long hard year

  She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention
  she was going way too fast
  Before she knew it she was spinning on a thin black sheet of glass
  She saw both their lives flash before her eyes
  She didn't even have time to cry
  She was so scared, she threw her hands up in the air

  (Chorus)
  Jesus take the wheel
  Take it from my hands
  Cause I can't do this on my own
  I'm letting go
  Give me one more chance
  Save me from this road I'm on
  Jesus take the wheel

  It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder and the car came to a stop
  She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat sleeping like a rock
  And for the first time in a long time she bowed her head to pray
  She said I'm sorry for the way
  I've been living my life
  I know I've got to change
  So from now on tonight

  (Repeat Chrous)

• 5. The Night Before (Life Goes On)

  Sitting up on the roof sneaking a smoke by the chimney
  Checking out the moon and the city lights
  He takes off his flannel shirt drapes it around her shoulders
  Slides up behind her and holds on tight (and she says)
  I don't want this night to end...why does it have to end?"

  (Chorus)
  Tomorrow she'll be rolling down I-10
  Baton Rouge, LSU Eightneen years in her rearview
  He's got a Friday paycheck lined up
  Down the block at daddy's shop it ain't much but its a job
  They've been dreading this moment all summer long
  The night before life goes on

  A tear falls off her cheek right when it hits his arm (he says)
  Come on baby let's get outta here
  They take one last drive around town man it already looks different
  He bangs the wheel and says "Life ain't fair"
  This growing up stuff man I don't know...Just don't wanna let you go"

  That's what my mama told me and just like those kids I didn't
  I didn't wanna listen to no one
  Yea theres nothing you can do nothing you can say I know how it feels
  when love goes away

  (Repeat chorus)
  They've been dreading this moment all summer long
  But here it is they don't have long...
  The night before life goes on

• 6. Lessons Learned

  There's some things that I regret
  Some words I wish had gone unsaid
  Some starts that had some bitter endings
  Been some bad times I've been through
  Damage I cannot undo
  Some things I wish I could do all all over again
  But it don't really matter
  When life gets that much harder
  It makes you that much stronger Oh
  some pages turned, some bridges burned
  But there were lessons learned

  (Chorus)
  From every tear that had to fall from my eyes
  From every day I wondered how I'd get through the night
  From every change life has thrown me
  I'm thankful for every break in my heart
  I'm grateful for every scar
  Some pages turned, some bridges burned
  But there were lessons learned

  There's mistakes that I have made
  Some chances I just threw away
  Some roads I never should've taken
  Been some signs I didn't see
  Hearts that I hurt needlessly
  Some wounds that I wish I could have one more chance to mend
  But it don't make no difference
  The past can't be re-written
  You get the life you're given, oh
  Some pages turned, some bridges burned
  But there were lessons learned

  (Chorus)
  From every tear that had to fall from my eyes
  From Every day I wondered how I'd get through the night
  From every change, life has thrown me
  I'm thankful for every breath in my heart
  I'm grateful for every scar
  Some pages turned, some bridges burned
  But there were lessons learned

• 7. Before He Cheats

  Right now he's probably slow dancing
  With a bleach blonde tramp
  And she's probably getting frisky
  Right now he's probably buying her some fruity little drink
  'Cause she can't shoot whiskey
  Right now he's probably up behind her with a pool-stick showing her how to shoot a combo
  And he don't know

  (Chorus)
  That I dug my key into the side
  of his pretty little suped up four wheel drive
  carved my name into his leather seats
  Took a Louisville slugger to both headlights
  slashed a hole in all four tires
  Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats

  Right now, she's probably up singing some white-trash version
  Of Shania karaoke
  Right now she's probably saying I'm drunk and he's thinking
  that he's gonna get lucky
  Right now, he's probably dabbing on 3 dollars worth of
  that bathroom polo
  And he don't know

  (Repeat Chorus)

  I might saved a little trouble for the next girl
  'Cause the next time that he cheats
  You know it won't be on me!

  (Chorus)

• 8. Starts With Goodbye

  I was sitting on my doorstep
  I hung up the phone and it fell out of my hand
  But I knew I had to do it
  And he wouldn't understand

  So hard to see myself without him
  I felt a piece of my heart break
  But when you're standing at a crossroad
  There's a choice you gotta make

  (Chorus)
  I guess it's gonna have to hurt
  I guess I'm gonna have to cry
  And let go of some things I've loved
  To get on to the other side
  I guess it's gonna break me down
  Like falling when you're trying to fly
  It's sad, but moving on with the rest of your life
  Starts with goodbye

  I know there's a blue horizon
  Somewhere up ahead just waiting for me
  But getting there means leaving things behind
  Sometimes life's so bittersweet

  (Repeat Chorus)

  Time heals the wounds that you feel
  But right now

  (Repeat Chorus)

• 9. I Just Can't Live A Lie

  Lately, nothing I do ever seems to please you
  And maybe turning my back would be that much easier
  Cause hurtful words are all that we exchange
  But I can't watch you walk away
  Could I forget about the way it feels to touch you?
  And all about the good times that we've been through
  Could I wake up without you every day, would I let you walk away?

  No, I can't learn to live without and I can't give up on us now

  (Chorus)
  Oh, I know I could say we're through
  And tell myself I'm over you
  But even if I made a vow
  I promise not to miss you
  Now and try to hide the truth inside
  I fail cause I just can't live a lie

  Could I forget the look that tells me that you want me?
  And all the reasons that make loving you so easy
  The kiss that always makes it hard to breathe
  The way you know just what I mean

  No, I can't learn to live without, oh,
  So don't you give up on us now

  Oh, I know I could say we're through
  And tell myself I'm over you
  But even if I made a vow
  I promise not to miss you now
  Now and try to hide the truth inside
  I fail cause I just can't live a lie

  And I don't wanna try
  When I try to hide the truth inside
  I'd fail cause I just can't live a lie
  I cant live a lie
  I cant live a lie

• 10. We're Young And Beautiful

  While we're young and beautiful
  Kiss me like you mean it
  Treat me like I'm special
  Cover me with sweetness
  Cause a time will come when we're not so young, and beautiful

  While we're young and beautiful
  Living free and easy
  Here without a worry
  Dancing in our barefeet
  Cause when the summer's done
  We might not be so young, and beautiful

  (Chorus)
  It's a crazy ride, Baby you and I
  Are keeping our sweet love alive tonight
  While we're young and beautiful

  While we're young and beautiful
  We'll party down on Main street
  Wearing next to nothing
  Feeling every heartbeat
  Having fun
  while we're still young and beautiful

  (Repeat chorus)
  Beautiful, beautiful young and beautiful
  Beautiful, beautiful young and beautiful

  (Repeat chorus)

• 11. That's Where It Is

  In the circles I've been running
  I've covered many miles
  And I could search forever
  for what's right before my eyes
  Just when I thought I'd found it
  It was nothing like I'd planned
  And when I got my heart around it
  It slipped right through my hands
  Here with you I feel it
  Close my eyes and see it

  (Chorus)
  In a midnight talk
  In a morning kiss
  When I'm in your arms
  that's where it is
  When we're tangled up
  and can't resist
  When we feel that rush
  That's where it is...that's where it is

  When I'm crashing through the madness
  Not sure who I'm supposed to be
  When I'm caught up in the darkness
  It's your hand that's leading me
  You bring me back to solid ground
  You lift me up right here, right now

  (Chorus)

  It's a life time filled
  with tight embraces
  The biggest things
  in the smallest places

  (Last Chorus:)
  In the sweetest smile
  on a night like this
  In a tender touch
  that's where it is
  When we're tangled up
  and can't resist
  When we feel that rush
  that's where it is...that's where it is

• 12. Whenever You Remember

  When you look back on times we had
  I hope you smile
  And know that through the good and through the bad
  I was on your side
  when nobody could hold us down
  We claimed the brightest star
  And we, we came so far
  And no they won't forget, yeah

  (Chorus)
  Whenever you remember times gone by
  Remember how we held our heads so high
  When all this world was there for us
  And we believed that we could touch the sky
  Whenever you remember I'll be there
  Remember how we reached that dream together
  Whenever you remember

  When you think back on all we've done
  I hope you're proud
  When you look back and see how far we've come
  It was our time to shine
  And nobody could hold us down
  They thought they'd see us fall
  But we, we stood so tall
  And no we won't forget, yeah

  Whenever you remember times gone by
  Remember how we held our heads so high
  When all this world was there for us
  And we believed that we could touch the sky
  Whenever you remember I'll be there
  Remember how we reached that dream together
  Whenever you remember

  We claimed the brightest star
  And we, we came so far
  And know that we showed them all
  And no they won't forget, yeah

  Whenever you remember times gone by
  Remember how we held our heads so high
  When all this world was there for us
  And we believed that we could touch the sky
  Whenever you remember, I'll be there
  Remember how we reached that dream together
  Whenever you remember
  Whenever you remember times gone by
  Remember how we reached that dream together
  Whenever you remember

• 13. I Ain't In Checotah Anymore

  Where 69 meets 40
  There's a single stop light town
  And back when I was really young
  Part of that burned down
  On any given Friday night
  We'd drive a hundred miles
  Between the Sonic and the Grocery Store
  Laughing all the while
  With as many friends as I could pack
  In my daddy's Ford
  But I ain't in Checotah anymore

  My hotel in Manhattan
  Holds more people than our town
  And what I just paid for dinner
  Would be a down payment on a house
  I'd rather be tipping cows in Tulsa
  Than hailing cabs here in New York
  But I ain't in Checotah anymore
  In a world of long red carpets
  The bright lights of Hollywood
  All the paparazzi flashing
  Could make a girl feel pretty good
  You can get anything you want here
  Except a Wal-Mart store
  But I ain't in Checotah anymore

  I'm in a world so wide
  It makes me feel small sometimes
  I miss the big blue skies
  the Oaklohoma kind

  Where the Wildcats beat Ironheads
  Old Settler's day and the Okra Fest
  After prom down at the bowling lanes
  Catchin' crape fish in Eufaula lake

• 14. Inside Your Heaven

  I've been down
  Now I'm blessed
  Felt a revelation coming around
  Guess its right
  it's so amazing
  Everytime I see you
  I'm alive

  You're all I've got
  You lift me up
  The sun and the moonlight
  All my dreams are in your eyes

  And I wanna be inside your heaven
  Take me to the place you cry from
  Where the storm blows you away
  I wanna be the earth that holds you
  Every bit of air you're breathin' in a soothin' wind
  I wanna be inside your heaven

  When we touch
  when we love
  The stars light up a wrong becomes undone
  Naturally
  my soul surrenders

  The sun and the moonlight
  All my dreams are in your eyes

  And I wanna be inside your heaven
  Take me to the place you cry from
  Where the storm blows you away
  I wanna be the earth that holds you
  Every bit of air you're breathing in a soothing wind
  I wanna be inside your heaven

  When minutes turn to days and years
  If mountains fall I'll still be here
  Holding you until the day I die

  And I wanna be inside your heaven
  Take me to the place you cry from
  Where the storm blows you away

  I wanna be inside your heaven
  Take me to the place you cry from
  Where the storm blows you away

  I wanna be inside your heaven
  Take me to the place you cry from
  When a storm blows you away
  I wanna be the earth that holds you
  Every bit of air you're breathing in the soothing wind
  I wanna be inside your heaven

  I've been down
  Now I'm blessed

• 15. Independence Day

  Well she seemed all right by dawn's early light
  Though she looked a little worried and weak.
  She tried to pretend he wasn't drinkin' again
  But daddy'd left the proof on her cheek.
  And i was only eight years old that summer
  And i always seemed to be in the way
  So i took myself down to the fair in town
  On Independence Day.

  Well,word gets around in a small,small town
  They said he was a dangerous man
  But mama was proud and she stood her ground
  But she knew she was on the losin' end.
  Some folks whispered and some folks talked
  But everybody looked the other way
  And when time ran out there was no one about
  On Independence Day.

  (Chorus)
  Let freedom ring,let the white dove sing
  Let the whole world know that today
  Is a day of reckoning.
  Let the weak be strong,let the right be wrong
  Roll the stone away,let the guilty pay
  It's Independence Day.

  Well,she lit up the sky that fourth of july
  By the time that the firemen come
  They just put out the flames
  And took down some names
  And send me to the county home.
  Now i ain't sayin' it's right or it's wrong
  But maybe it's the only way.
  Talk about your revolution
  It's Independence Day.

  (Repeat Chorus)

  Roll the stone away
  It's Independence Day.
