Let's begin with the day I met her
How fast this good old boy's world got better
Sky got bluer, the grass got greener
Just the first few seconds after I first seen her
Like my favorite song on a new set of speakers
My best old jeans and my broke in sneakers
A home run pitch floating right down the middle
The sweet music made when the bow hits the fiddle
She's
Right on the money
She goes directly to my heart
And when it comes to loving me
She's everything, I mean bulls eye perfect
She's right on the money
She's no red lights when I've overslept
She's a three point jump shot that's nothing but net
A hand full of aces, the dealer's done dealing
I'm forever on a roll, that's how she's got me feeling
She's
Right on the money
She goes direct to my heart
And when it comes to loving me, she's everything, I mean bulls eye perfect
She's
Right on the money
She's the best cook that's ever melted cheese
I ain't much around the house, but I aim to please
There's absolutely no reason to doubt her
When she says I wouldn't last ten minutes without her
She's
Right on the money
She goes directly to my heart
And when it comes to loving me
She's everything, I mean bulls eye perfect
She's
Right on the money

Here I am all alone again tonight
In this old empty house
It's hard to learn what you don't think you need
You can't live without
Never leave the sound of the telephone
But ever since you left
I've been gone
(Chorus)
Gone carzy, goin' out of my mind
I've asked myself the reasons,
at least least thousand times
Goin' up and down this hallway
Tryin' to leave the pain behind
Ever since you left, I've been gone
I never saw your face this many times
When you were really here
The things you said I never understood
Are now crystal clear
I never spent this much time at home
But ever since you left,
I've been gone
(Chorus)
. . .

I remember walk'in round the court square sidewalk
Lookin' in windows at things I couldn't want
There's johnson's hardware and morgans jewelry
And the ol' Lee king's apothecary
They ware the little man
The little man
I go back now and the stores are all empty
Except for an old coke sign from 1950
Boarded up like they never existed
Or renovated and called historic districts
There goes the little man
There goes the little man
Chorus:
Now the court square's just a set of streets
That the people go round but they seldom think
Bout the little man that built this town
Before the big money shut em down
And killed the little man
Oh the little man
He pumped your gas and he cleaned your glass
And one cold rainy night he fixed your flat
The new stores came where you do it yourself
You buy a lotto ticket and food off the shelf
Forget about the little man
Forget about that little man
He hung on there for a few more years
But he couldn't sell slurpees
And he wouldn't sell beer
Now the bank rents the station
To a down the road
And sell velvet Elvis and
Second-hand clothes
There goes little man
There goes another little man
Now the are lined up in a concrete strip
You can buy the world with just one trip
And save a penny cause it's jumbo size
They don't even realize
They'er killin' the little man
Oh the little man
It wasn't long when I was a child
An old black man came with his plow
He broke the ground where we grew our garden
Back before we'd all forgot
about the little man
The little man
Long live the little man
God bless the little man

Looking through these old photographs
Don't They bring some good memories back
Some of them make us laugh
And some make us cry
I'm glad we've kept all of these souvenirs
To prove that our love was here
Look at how happy we were
Pictures don't lie
(Chorus)
If forever should end today
And there's no tomorrow for us
What a day yesterday was
Here's one of us with you calm and cool
But look at me acting a fool
And here's one of us on the ferris wheel
At the fair
Hey, haven't we had some fun
The best may be yet to come
We may have a hundred years
Still left to share
But...
(Chorus)
Let's close this book of photographs
And let's turn out the lights
And love for the moment
As if it were the last
(Chorus)
. . .

I've spent a lifetime lookin' for love
Just when I find it, it comes undone
I've tried so hard to make love happen
Like some never endin' pattern
I end up on the sad side of the fun
(Chorus)
Hurtin' Comes easy
Hurtin' Comes easy
Hurtin' Comes easy
For me
Well, I've seen people that got it made
They've got someone and love looks great
But me, I've been to every doctor
I've tried it wild and I tried it proper
And I always end up watchin' love walk away
That's okay
(Chorus)
Hurtin' Comes easy
Hurtin' Comes easy
Hurtin' Comes easy
For me
I've gotten used to getting over
And hopefully as I grow older
Love won't be so difficult to see
But now for me
(Chorus)
Hurtin' Comes easy
Hurtin' Comes easy
Hurtin' Comes easy
For Me

When I look into your soft green eyes
And when I see your delicate body
Revealed to me as you slip off your dress
I'm reminded that what I feel for you
Will remain strong and true
Long after the pleasures of the flesh and
I'll go on loving you
I'll go on loving you
I'll go on loving you
And be it the wind or the rain
Or the moon up in the sky
The spin of the earth
Or the change in the tides
I don't know what brought us together
What strange forces of nature
Conspired to construct
The present from the past but
Chorus:
When I look into your soft green eyes
And when I see your delicate body
Revealed to me as you slip off your dress
I'm reminded that what I feel for you
Will remain strong and true
Long after the pleasures of the flesh and

I woke up the other night
Lying on the floor
Right beside someone
I've never seen before
She said my name's Juliet
And Romeo you ain't
That's another good reason not to drink
That's another good reason not to drink
When I'm sober I'm almost a saint
If I keep going on like this
I'll end up like ole Hank
That's another good reason not to drink
I cant go see my best friend
He said stay away
Just because of what I said
On his wedding day
He oughta call a sherman
Cause she looks just like a tank
That's another good reason not to drink
That's another good reason not to drink
When I'm sober I'm almost a saint
If I keep going on like this
I'll end up like ole Hank
That's another good reason not to drink
I'm gonna sue to city
About that policeman
Last night as I left the bar
He stepped right on my hand
He said 'Are you drunk or blind?'
I said 'Let me think'.
That's another good reason not to drink
That's another good reason not to drink
When I'm sober I'm almost a saint
If I keep going on like this
I'll end up like ole Hank
That's another good reason not to drink
That's another good reason not to drink
When I'm sober I'm almost a saint
If I keep going on like this
I'll end up like ole Hank
That's another good reason
Baby let me in I'm freezing

I have felt it
And I have held it
I have known
A woman's love
I have tasted
And I have wasted
A woman's love
And I know
I'll never understand
All the little things
that make It grand
A woman's love
And I know
I'll never come Face to face
With any thing
that takes the Place
Of a woman's love
Well I have kiss it
Tried to resist it
I have missed
A woman's love
And I have hated
Taken for granted
A woman's love
Well I have needed
And I have pleaded
And I have lost
A woman's love
And I have worshipped
And I have cursed it
A woman's love
Well I adore it
Thank god for it

1. She said I don't usually dance this close to stangers
You know a girl can't be too careful with her heart
But I saw you and thought that you looked harmless
When you smile that way I'm not so sure you are
2. I said I don't usually come here for the dancin',
You can tell that by the way I move, When I saw you
I thought that it was hopeless
And I just had to ask you for a dance or two
Chorus:
Somewhere in the stars it must be written,
Girl we've got to take this chance that we've been given,
If there's a heaven here on Earth
I think we found it
If this ain't love, we're dancin' all around it.
Bridge:
Music stopped and we're still holdin' each other,
This feels like the beginning of forever,
Repeat Chorus
Outro:

Verse 1 :
The time has come, you're really leavin'
You always told me that you wanted to
I guess I never thought it would happen
I guess I never really wanted it to
The world is callin' you and you must answer
But you can take me with you in your dreams, and
Refrain :
If you ever get back to Amarillo
In a shiny new car or worn out shoes
If you ever get back to Amarillo
I'll be waiting for you
Your sister told me you were working
At some office out in Tinseltown
But don't forget about those who love you
They'll be there for you if you get down
I believe in you in all you after
I hope you end up where you wanna be
Refrain :
If you ever get back to Amarillo
In a shiny new car or worn out shoes
If you ever get back to Amarillo
I'll be waiting for you
Thirty years now have gone by quickly
I still think of you from time to time
My wife died early, I've got children
I'm happy and my health is fine
I often wondered if you found your freedom
I sometimes wonder if I should have gone
Refrain ( 2 times ) :
If you ever get back to Amarillo
In a shiny new car or worn out shoes
If you ever get back to Amarillo
I'll be waiting for you
Outro :
I'll be waiting for you
