Something More
Written by Kristen Hall, Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush
Monday, hard to wake up
Fill my coffee cup, I'm out the door
Yeah, the freeway's standing still today
It's gonna make me late, and that's for sure
I'm running out of gas and out of time
Never gonna make it there by nine
Chorus:
There's gotta be something more
Gotta be more than this
I need a little less hard time
I need a little more bliss
I'm gonna take my chances
Taking a chance I might
Find what I'm looking for
There's gotta be something more
Five years and there's no doubt
That I'm burnt out, I've had enough
So now boss man, here's my two weeks
I'll make it short and sweet, so listen up
I could work my life away, but why?
I got things to do before die
Repeat Chorus
Some believe in destiny, and some believe in fate
I believe that happiness is something we create
You best believe that I'm not gonna wait
'Cause there's gotta be something more
I get home 7:30 the house is dirty, but it can wait
Yeah, 'cause right now I need some downtime
To drink some red wine and celebrate
Armageddon could be knocking at my door
but I ain't gonna answer thats for sure
There's gotta be something
Gotta be something more
Gotta be more than this
I need a little less hard time
I need a little more bliss
I'm gonna take my chances
Taking a chance I might
Find what I'm looking for
There's gotta be something more (gotta be something)
Got to be, got to be, got to be more
Baby Girl
Written by Kristian Bush, Kristen Hall, Jennifer Nettles and Troy Bieser
They say this town, the stars stay up all night
Well I don't know, can't see 'em for the glow of the neon lights
And it's a long way from here to the place where the home fires burn
Well it's 2000 miles and one left turn
CHORUS:
Dear Mom and Dad,
Please send money, I'm so broke that it ain't funny.
Well I don't need much just enough to get me through.
Please don't worry 'cause I'm alright
(See I'm playin' here at the bar tonight).
Well, this time, I'm gonna make our dreams come true
Well, I love you more than anything in the world.
Love, Your baby girl
Black top, blue sky
Big town full of little white lies
Well everybody's your friend, you can never be sure
They'll promise fancy cars and diamond rings
And all sorts of shiny things
But, girl, you'll remember what your knees are for
(Repeat Chorus)
I know that I'm on my way
Well, I can tell every time I play
And I know it's worth all the dues I pay
When I can write to you and say
Dear Mom and Dad,
I'll send money, I'm so rich that it ain't funny
Well, it oughtta be more than enough to get you through
Please don't worry 'cause I'm all right
(See, I'm stayin' here at the Ritz tonight)
Whatta ya know we made our dreams come true!
And there are fancy cars and diamond rings
But you know that they don't mean a thing
Well, they all add up to nothin' compared to you
Well, remember me in ribbons and curls
I still love you more than anything in the world
Love, Your baby girl
Ah, yeah
Your baby girl
Dear Mom and Dad,
Please send money, I'm so broke that it ain't funny
Don't need much just enough to get me through
Your baby girl.
Please don't worry 'cause I'm all right
Playin' here at the bar tonight
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Dreams come true
Hello
Written by Kristian Bush, Kristen Hall, and Jennifer Nettles
I was born in the heart of a hurricane season
In the house where my mamma was raised
That old September wind feels just like a long lost friend
And I...
Chorus:
I want to run though those cottonwood trees
Fall asleep in a big bed of fresh fallen leaves
And in every wind that blows there's a song of letting go
It's no goodbye, it's hello
We met underneath the blue skies of summer
And those summer skies turn into fall
That sweet September wind made us so much more than friends
One Night...
And we ran though those cottonwood trees
We made love in a big bed of fresh fallen leaves
And in every wind that blows there's an innocence that knows
It's not goodbye, it's hello
In the moment that one thing ends
Is the same time that one begins
And return as we must
We are ashes to dust, amen.
When the days of my youth have all faded
And the memories are all that remain
Let that old September wind take me back to where I've been
So I...
Chorus:
I can run through those cottonwood trees
And remember the smell of those fresh fallen leaves
Now in every wind that blows there's a part of me that knows
It's not goodbye, it's hello
Tennessee
Written by Kristian Bush, Kristen Hall, and David Labruyere
It ain't often I take time to answer calls on the request line
But this one says that we're his best last chance
So all you people in radioland, turn it up loud, loud as you can
Help to carry these words of a desperate man
Chorus:
Do you believe in love and that we were meant to be?
Two words can free us, so repeat them after me
"I do," from a boy in love to a girl called Tennessee
It's always scary when you find true love
Hits like lightning from high about
You might only get one chance to say
Repeat Chorus
He got scared and let her slip away
Now he knows he's not afraid
I'll put him on the air in case she's listening somewhere
Take it to heart, keep it in mind
Try to reach out though the telephone line
Caller you're on the air, say it so she hears
Repeat Chorus
Oh, from a boy in love to a girl called Tennessee
Tennessee
Just Might (Make Me Believe)
Written by Kristen Hall
I got miles of trouble spreadin' far and wide
Bills on the table gettin' higher and higher
They just keep on comin', there ain't no end in sight
I'm just holding on tight...
I've got someone who loves me more then words can say
And I'm thankful for that each and every day
And if I count all my blessings, I get a smile on my face
Still hard to find faith
Chorus:
But if you can look in my eyes
And tell me we'll be alright
If you promise never to leave
You just might make me believe
It's just day to day tryin' to make ends meet
What I'd give for an address out on easy street
I need a deep margarita to help me unwind
Leave my troubles behind...
Repeat Chorus
I used to believe in us
When times got tough
Lately I'm afraid that even love is not enough
Chorus:
But if you can look in my eyes
And tell me we'll be alright
If you promise never to leave you just might make me
Oh, you just might make me
You just might make me believe
Down In Mississippi (Up To No Good)
Written by Kristian Bush, Kristen Hall and Jennifer Nettles
Friday, payday, Lordy got to get away
Had it with the wife thing, living on a shoe string
What's a poor girl got to do just to have some fun?
All these years without any help
Guess what, honey, clothes just don't wash themselves!
Neither do dishes, neither does the bathroom floor
So, now if anyone asks, not that they would
I'll be down in Mississippi and up to no good
No more, what a bore, had enough, I'm out the door
Headed for a breakdown, had it with the small town
Gonna call Lisa, gonna call Carla Sue
Well, now we're gonna let it roll, gonna let it rip
Gonna get us a nice room down on the strip
Not that we'll need it, there won't be any sleepin' tonight
So, now if anyone asks, not that they would
We'll be down in Mississippi and up to no good
Well, hammer down, here we go
Runnin' for the riverboat
All you're gonna see is asses and elbows
Luck's about to change for these three queens
Tired of gettin' jokers, deal us up kings
Well, hammer down, here we go
Runnin' for the riverboat
All you're gonna see is asses and elbows
Luck's about to change for these three queens
Tired of gettin' jokers, deal us up kings
Snake eyes, roll the dice, double down and hit me twice
Cashin' in the big chips, gonna leave a big tip
Hotter than a two dollar pistol, baby, I'm on fire
So, now if anyone asks, not that they would
I'll be down in Mississippi and up to no good
If anyone asks, not that they would
I'll be down in Mississippi and up to no good
So, now if anyone asks, not that they would
I'll be down in Mississippi and up to no good
YEAH
Fly Away
Written by Kristian Bush, Kristen Hall, Corri English and Billy Gewin
Oh, I swear this town gets smaller everyday
and I'm waitin for my chance, I'm gonna break away
I'm so sick and tired of being told what's good for me
People got lots of ideas of who I'm supposed to be
Chours:
Angel carry me, oh so far away
May my body never... touch the ground
And If I promise you that I'll be back someday
Will you set me free so I can fly away?
Fly away... fly away...
Well most folks here, well they don't dig too deep
They can't dream too big, 'cause they've got fields to keep
I could walk away and leave behind my family
Or get buried alive in this legacy
Repeat Chorus
I wanna sleep under a different piece of sky
I wanna live a little bit before I die
I wanna be so close to heaven I see angels...
Repeat Chorus
Fly away... fly away...
Speed Of Life
Written by Kristen Hall and Jennifer Nettles
Yea, yea, yea, yeah
Yea, yea, yea, yeah
Yea, yea, yea, yeah, yeah
We drove all night to get to Corpus Christi
My parents slept right through, they never missed me
We were far from sleepin'
When the truth began to creep in
That we weren't goin' home anytime soon
The mornin' light sure took us by surprise
We grabbed our clothes
Watched a beautiful sunrise
We were one together
And we must have talked forever
And it was then and there I realized that
Chorus:
(And) I don't want to wait even one more night
It's hard to slow it down when it feels so right
Knees buckled, white knuckled
We're holdin' on tight (holdin' on tight)
We're travelin' at twice the speed of life
(Yea, yea, yeah yeah)
We worked our way through college waitin' tables
Bought a little white house with a picket fence and cable
I asked if he was ready
To become a Mom and Daddy
And then I found my answer in his eyes
And he said...
Repeat Chorus
Now, our oldest girl is almost grown
She's got a boyfriend of her own
I heard her sneakin' out with him last night
And if she's anything like me
She's desperate to be wild and free
We know now it's just a matter of time
'Til she says...
Repeat Chorus 2x
Yea, yea, yea, yeah
Yea, yea, yea, yeah
Yea, yea, yea, yeah, yeah
Yea, yea, yea, yeah
Yea, yea, yea, yeah
Yea, yea, yea, yeah, yeah
Small Town Jericho
Written by Kristian Bush, Kristen Hall and Jennifer Nettles
Well, it's two miles East to West
Only four miles North to South
And when you pass the only red light
You will see the pastor's house
People look you in the eye
And they smile at you and wave
Yeah, they always take the time
To stop and ask you, 'How's your day?'
It's hard to say goodbye
'Cause baby, it's a good life
At the high school football game
Is where I got my first kiss
I still feel the butterflies
I still taste it on my lips
And when we lost our Uncle Jake
Back in 1983
We heard Daddy upstairs weepin'
So we cried ourselves to sleep
It's hard to say goodbye
'Cause baby, it's a good life
Chorus:
Goodbye to memories that I saved
Goodbye to all the friends I've made
Goodbye to all the home I'll ever know
Small town Jericho...
And every road here looks the same
This ol' town won't ever change
And that's what I love the most
And it's the reason I must go
I put boxes on the porch
Daddy puts them in the car
Best to get the loadin' done
Won't be easy in the dark
'Cause I'm leavin' after midnight
And if anyone asks why
I wanna wait 'til Mama's sleepin'
'Cause I can't bear to see her cry
It's hard to say goodbye
'Cause baby, it's a good life
Repeat Chorus
Goodbye
Oooh Oooh
Time, Time, Time
Written by Kristian Bush, Kristen Hall and Jennifer Nettles
I was on a fast curve, lost my nerve on a dead end road
I was goin' nowhere faster than two legs can go
I never thought I'd slow down
I'm glad I finally know now
That's life, if you open up your eyes
You'll find it gets better all the
Time, time, time
Time, time, time
I never really noticed when he moved in next to me
Sometimes it's amazing just how blind a girl can be
If I weren't busy runnin'
I might have seen it comin'
That's life, if you open up your eyes
You'll find it gets better all the
Time, time, time
Running out of time, I'm runnin' away
I'm running out of ways of running away
Got to slow down, if you don't, you're gonna breakdown
I'm runnin' out of time, time, time
I was cooking dinner, heard a ring at my front door
I opened up and saw him, never felt like that before
The moment that our eyes met I knew I'd never forget
Sometimes the thing you most need is right there, but you can't see
That's life, if you open up your eyes
You'll find it gets better all the
Time, time, time
Time, time, time
Time, time, time
Yeah
Stand Back Up
Written by Kristian Bush, Kristen Hall and Jennifer Nettles
Go ahead and take your best shot
Let 'er rip, give it all you've got
I'm laid out on the floor, but I've been here before
I may stumble, yeah I might fall
I'm only human but aren't we all?
I might lose my way, but hear me when I say
Chorus:
I will stand back up,
You'll know just the moment when I've had enough
Sometimes I'm afraid and I don't feel that tough
But I'll stand back up
I've been beaten up and bruised, yeah
I've been kicked right off my shoes
Been down on my knees, more times than you'd believe
When the darkness tries to get me
There's a light that just won't let me
It might take my pride and tears may fill my eyes
But I'll stand back up
I've weathered all these storms
But I just turn them into wind so I can fly
If what don't kill you makes you stronger
When I take my last breath
That's when I'll just give up
So, go ahead and take your best shot
Let 'er rip, give it all you've got
You might win this round but you can't keep me down
'Cause I'll stand back up,
And you'll know just the moment when I've had enough
Sometimes I'm afraid and I don't feel that tough
But I'll stand back up
You'll know just the moment when I've had enough
Sometimes I'm afraid and I don't feel that tough
But I'll stand back up
Who Says You Can't Go Home (Bon Jovi and Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland)
Written by Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora
I've spent 20 years tryin' to get out of this place
I was lookin' for somethin' I couldn't replace
I was runnin' away from the only thing I've ever known
Like a blind dog without a bone
I was a gypsy lost in the twilight zone
I hijacked a rainbow and crashed into a pot of gold
I've been there, done that, I ain't lookin' back on the seeds I've sown
Saving dimes, spending too much time on the telephone....
Who says you cant go home
Who says you cant go home
There's only one place they call you one of their own
Just a hometown boy born a rolling stone
Who says you cant go home
Who says you can't go back
Been all around the world and as a matter of fact
There's only one place left I wanna go
Who says you cant go home
it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
I went as far as I could tryin' to find a new face
There isn't one of these lines that I would erase
I left a million miles of memories on that road
Every step I take I know that I'm not alone
You can take the home from the boy but not the boy from his home
These are my streets the only life I've ever known
Who says you can't go home
Who says you cant go home
There's only one place they call you one of their own
Just a hometown boy born a rolling stone
Who says you can't go home
Who says you cant go back
Been all around the world and as a matter of fact
There's only one place left I wanna go
Who says you cant go home
Doesn't matter where you are
Doesn't matter where you go
If its a million miles away
or just a mile up the road
Take it in, take it with you when you go
Who says you can't go home
Who says you can't go back
Been all around the world and as a matter of fact
There's only one place left I wanna go
Who says you cant go home
it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Who says you can't go home
it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Who says you can't go home
it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Who says you can't go home!
