LYRICS
Wasted
Written by Troy Verges, Marv Green and Hillary Lindsey
Standing at the back door
She tried to make it fast
One tear hit the hard wood
It felt like broken glass
She said sometimes love slips away
And you just can't get it back
Let's 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
CHORUS:
I don't wanna spend my life jaded
Waiting to wake up one day and find
That a lot of these years go by
Wasted
Another glass of whiskey but it still don't kill the pain
So he stumbles to the sink and pours it down the drain
He said it's time to be a man and stop living for yesterday
Gotta face it...
Repeat Chorus
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
Til' 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
Yeah, yeah...
Repeat Chorus
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
Repeat Chorus
Yeah, yeah
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
Don't Forget To Remember Me
Written by Morgane Hayes, Kelley Lovelace and Ashley Gorley
18 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 talking
Putting off good-bye
Then she took my hand and said:
Baby don't forget
Before you hit the highway
You better stop for gas
There's a 50 in 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
To tell my baby sister I'll see her in the fall
And tell mee-mal 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
But 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 ol' place
Yeah, I know there's more important things
But don't forget to remember me
Don't forget to remember me
Some Hearts
Written by Diane Warren
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
CHORUS:
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, 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
Repeat Chorus
Ooooo, even hearts like mine
Get lucky, lucky sometimes
Even hearts like mine
Ooooo, ohhhh
Repeat chorus 2x
Jesus, Take The Wheel
Written by Brett James, Hillary Lindsey and Gordie Sampson
She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati
On a snow white Christmas Eve
Going home to see her Mama 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 to 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 all on my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To 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
Jesus, take the wheel
Take it from my hands
'Cause I can't do this all on my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on
Oh, Jesus take the wheel
Oh, I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on
From this road I'm on
Jesus, take the wheel
Oh, take it, take it from me
Oh, why, oh
Night Before (Life Goes On)
Written by Wendell Mobley, Neil Thrasher and Jimmy Olander
Sittin' up on the roof
Sneakin' a smoke by the chimney
Checkin' out the moon
And the city lights
He takes off his flannel shirt
And he 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 rollin' down I-10
Baton Rouge, LSU
18 years in her rearview
He's got a Friday paycheck lined up down the block
At daddy's shop
It ain't much, but it's a job
They've been dreadin' this moment all summer long
The night before... life goes on
Oooh
A tear falls off her cheek and
Right when it hits his arm he says
Come on baby, lets get outta here
They take one last drive around town
And man it already looks different
He bangs the wheel and says:
Life ain't fair
And this growin' up stuff man, I don't know
I just don't wanna let you go
Repeat Chorus
Yeah, that's what my momma told me
And just like those kids
I didn't wanna listen to no one
Yeah, there's nothin' you can do
There's nothin' you can say
And I know how it feels when love goes away
Tomorrow she'll be rollin' down I-10
Baton Rouge, LSU
18 years in her rearview
He's got a Friday paycheck lined up down the block
At daddy's shop
It ain't much, but it's a job
They've been dreadin' this moment all summer long
But, here it is... they don't have long
The night before... life goes on
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
Lessons Learned
Written by Diane Warren
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
Life gets that much harder
It makes you that much stronger
Oh, some pages turned
Some bridges burned
But there were lessons learned
CHORUS:
And every tear that had to fall from my eyes
Everyday I wondered how I'd get through the night
Every change life has thrown me
I'm thankful, for every break in my heart
I'm grateful, for every start
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 rewritten
You get the life you're given
Oh, some pages turned
Some bridges burned
But there were lessons learned
Repeat Chorus
And all the things that break you
All the things that make you strong
You can't change the past
'Cause it's gone
And you just gotta move on
Because it's all... lessons learned
Repeat Chorus
Oh, some pages turned
Some bridges burned
But there were lessons learned
Lessons learned
Before He Cheats
Written by Chris Tompkins and Josh Kear
Right now, he's probably slow dancing with a bleached-blond 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 that...
CHORUS:
I dug my key into the side of his pretty little sooped up 4 wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seats
I took a Louisville slugger to both head lights
Slashed a hole in all 4 tires
And 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 a thinking that he's gonna lucky
Right now, he's probably dabbing on 3 dollars worth of that bathroom Polo
Oh, and he don't know...
Repeat Chorus
I might saved a little trouble for the next girl 'cause the next time that he cheats
Oh, you know it won't be on me
No, ohh. Not on me... 'Cause
Oh, maybe next time he'll think before he cheats
Oh, before he cheats...
Oh...
Starts With Goodbye
Written by Angelo and Hillary Lindsey
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 to the other side
I guess it's gonna break me down
Like falling when you're tryin' to fly
It's sad but sometimes 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 bitter sweet
Repeat Chorus
Time, time heals
The wounds that you feel
Somehow, right now
Repeat Chorus
I guess I'm gonna have to cry
And let go of some things I've loved
To get to the other side
Starts with goodbye
Like falling when you're tryin' to fly
It's sad but sometimes moving on with the rest of your life
Starts with goodbye
I Just Can't Live A Lie
Written by Steve Robson and Wayne Hector
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
Can 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?
And 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 fell cause I, 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
Ohhh, so don't you give up on us now
Ohhh...
Repeat Chorus
Ohhh, and I don't wanna try
Ohhh
Repeat Chorus
I just can't live a lie
But even if I made a vow
I promise not to miss you now
And try to hide the truth inside
I fell cause I, I just can't live a lie
Oh, I can't live a lie
Oh, I can't live a lie
We're Young and Beautiful
Written by Rivers Rutherford and Steve McEwan
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 I'm not so young, and beautiful
While we're young and beautiful
Living free and easy
Here without a worry
Dancing in our bare feet
'Cause when the summer's done
When I won't be so young, and beautiful
CHORUS:
It's so crazy ride
And 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 heart beat
Having fun, while we're still young and beautiful
Repeat Chorus
Beautiful, beautiful
Young and beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful
Young and beautiful
Repeat Chorus
Oh, so beautiful
While we're young and beautiful
Cover me with sweetness
While we're young and beautiful
Kiss me like you mean it
Like you mean it
Like you mean it
Like you mean it
Like you do
Oh, yeah
Oh, so beautiful
That's Where It Is
Written by Melissa Peirce, Steve Robson and Greg Becker
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 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 I 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
But your hand that's leading me
Your bring me back to solid ground
You lift me up right here, right now
Repeat 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
It's a lifetime filled tiny embraces
The biggest things in the smallest places
Repeat Chorus
In the sweetest smile
On a night like this
On 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
Whenever You Remember
Written by Diane Warren
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
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 believe 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
Repeat Chorus
We claimed the brightest star
And we, we came so far
You know that we showed them all
And no they won't forget
Repeat Chorus
Whenever you remember
Ooohh, whenever you remember
I Ain't In Checotah Anymore
Written by Carrie Underwood, Trey Bruce and Angelo
Where 69 meets 40, there's a single stoplight town
back when I was really young, part of that burned down
On any given Friday night, we'd drive a 100 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 tippin' cows in Tulsa
then hailing cabs here in New York
but I ain't in Checotah anymore
CHORUS:
I'm in a world so wide, it makes me small sometimes
I miss the big blue sky - the Oklahoma kind
In a world of long red carpets, the bright lights of Hollywood
all the paparazzi flashing can 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
Repeat Chorus
Where the Wildcats beat the Iron hands
Old Settler's Day and the Okrafest
After prom down at the bowling lanes
can't you grab the fishing, Eufaula Lake
I ain't in Checotah anymore
Oh, Yeah!
Repeat Chorus
But, I ain't in Checotah
No I ain't in Checotah
there's nothing like Oklahoma...
Where 69 meets 40, there's a single stop light town
Inside Your Heaven
Written by Andreas Carlsson, Pelle Nyhlen, and Savan Kotecha
I've been down
Now I'm blessed
I felt a revelation coming around
I 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
CHORUS:
And I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
Where the storm blows your way
I wanna be 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
The wrong becomes undone
Naturally, my soul surrenders
The sun and the moonlight
All my dreams are in your eyes
Repeat Chorus
When minutes turn to days and years
If mountains fall, I'll still be here
Holdin' you until the day I die
I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
Where the storm blows your way
I wanna be inside your heaven
I wanna be inside
Where the storm blows your way
Repeat Chorus
