Layin' on my back in a cornfield back in Kansas
I think I might'a had my first original thought
Just me and miles of sky
An occasional crow flyin' by
I believe I saw the light Hank Williams saw

Chorus:

Oh the sky is blue cause it misses the stars
And my heart understands
To tell you the truth
I've seen 'bout all the blue that I can stand
Your woman misses her man
Your woman misses her man

Way up there there's an airplane full of people
Way down here I wish I was way up there too
Baby I need to get away
But, baby I need today
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you

Chorus

Tonight the sky will hold the stars
And I'll hold you here in my heart
Until I'm back there in your arms again

(Written by Deanna Bryant)

There are times I stand in wonder
To look at you and all you are
And I think I can unlock the mystery
Break through your walls and win your heart
I don't mean to scare you
There's no need to be afraid
We can take our time
But I'll take my chance and say

Chorus:

Let me love you really love you
Open up your heart and let me in
I don't know who taught you not to trust
I'll be constant as the sun that shines above
Close your eyes and take the fall
If it's really love there's no risk at all
I can love you if you'll only let me in

I see your strength and how you shine
You're a diamand in the rough that should be mine
But you're still fighting an old war
That's left you wounded and left you scarred
You hide your weakness
Behind those walls
You think it's your own secret
But in your eyes I see it all

Let me love you really love you
Open up your heart and let me in
I don't know who taught you not to trust
I'll be constant as the sun that shines above
Close your eyes and take the fall
If it's really love there's no risk at all
Lay down your past and then you can begin
To let me love you really love you
I can love you if you'll only let me in

(Written by Sam Tate, Annie Tate, Rivers Ruterford)

Shut up and drive
You don't know what you're talking about
He's not the one
You ought to know that by now
You've got one of those hearts
That keeps changing your mind
Your heart has a way of making you stay
So shut up and drive

Don't look in the mirror
He might have that look in his eyes
The one thats so strong
It strangles your will to survive
He's mastered the art
Of looking sincere
His eyes have a way of making you stay
Don't look in the mirror

Chorus:

I'm the voice you never listen to
And I had to break your heart to make you see
That he's the one who will be missing you
And you'll only miss the man
That you wanted him to be

Turn the radio on
To drown out the sound of goodbye
Blink back the tears
Show me you've still got your pride
Just get yourself lost
In a sad country song
Those guys that they play
Know just what to say
Turn the radio on.

Chorus

Shut up and drive
Don't look in the mirror
Turn the radio on
Get out of here
Shut up and drive
Shut up and drive

(Written by Matraca Berg, Gary Harrison, Jeff Hanna)

I found it in a pawn shop in a ragged cardboard case
With the guns and dusty watches it looked so out of place
With a Trailways baggage sticker yellow frayed and torn
Destination Nashville September '64

Chorus:

And you could tell by the fingerboard her painted nails were long
She only needed three chords to play those good ole country songs
And her name's etched in the finish like a fading battle scar
And this 1950 Gibson was Emma Jean's guitar

I wonder if she played it in a small town talent show
With her hair teased to perfection in a dress her mamma sewed
And for a little inspiration she pasted on a star
Here up on the head stock of Emma Jean's guitar

Chorus

I wouldn't even know her if I saw her face to face
But there's a little bit of Emma Jean in every song I play
She passed along these hopes and dreams cradled in my arms
And I am just a guardian of Emma Jean's guitar

(Written by Gary Burr, Chely Wright)

Cautions in the wind
The hardest part is through
You don't have to try so hard
To make me fall for you

I've surprised myself
With what I've gone and done
Just today I heard myself
Swear you were the one

Chorus:

Laugh I just have to laugh
I really thought you knew
I can't believe
That your asking me
When I will love you
I already do
I already do

You've been doing fine
Please don't change a thing
It's too good to hide away
So i might as well come clean

I didn't shout it out
But everybody knew
Funny you're the only one who didn't have a clue

Chorus

I gave you my heart
Can't you feel the power
You want to see the light
Baby the sun's been up for hours

(Written by Ed Hill, Mark D. Sanders)

I'm fallin' head over heals for him
He's callin' me twice a night then callin' again
When I talk he likes to listen
He says I'm the one that he's been missin'
Somebody tell me that he isn't

Chorus:

Just another heartache
Just another heartache
Another bad lie another goodbye
Lookin' for another heart to break

Maybe I'm too cautious for my own good
Maybe he's the real deal knock on wood
All I know is he'll be here in a minute
I hope he's love and I hope he's in it
I'll be over my limit with

Chorus

This better be somethin' more
I wanna be sure that I'm not fallin'
I'm not fallin' for

Just another heartache
Just another heartache
Another bad lie another goodbye lookin' for a
Just another heartache just another heartache
Another bad lie another goodbye lookin' for another heart
Another bad lie another goodbye lookin' for another

(Written by Kostas, Chely Wright)

It's been a long time comin'
I've been alone so long
My heart is doin' somethin'
Can't put my finger on

I feel it when you touch me
I see it in your eyes
I get the feelin' we're fallin'
Fallin' side by side

Chorus:

Is it love yet
Is it real
'Cause ya know I love the way you make me feel
Oh we took our chance
We took our time
And if it's love boy I won't mind
I'll take all I can get
Is it love yet

My mamma always told me
You'll know when love is true
Sometimes when you're not lookin'
It's sneakin' up on you

(Written by Gary Burr, Bob McBill)

I think I know what you're about to say
I can see it in your eyes and on your face
We swore we never would
So while the words are still unspoken
Don't you think you should

Chorus:

Take a breath
Take a moment
Take your time
Before you lie
'Cause once you do
Love is different
Everything changes
Between you and I
And it gets easier every time
Oh and you can still change your mind
Before you lie

All I ask of you is honesty
We said that's how this love will always be
So careful what you say
'Cause it only takes a half a truth
To throw it all away

Chorus

It's up to you
This can go go either way
You get to choose
Which road we take
So

Chorus

Before you lie

(Written by Wayne Kemp)

Chorus:

Well I really had a ball last night
I held all the pretty boys tight
I was feelin' single seein' double
Wound up in a whole lot of trouble
But today I'll face the big fight but
I really had a ball last night

When I came home from work this mornin'
My baby was feelin' low
And he told me what was on his mind
Then he told me where I could go
Well I didn't want to go where he told me to
'Cause the water was cold in the lake
Now there's somethin' fishy 'bout this whole deal
I don't see where I made my mistake

Chorus

When I woke up this mornin'
Like me the sun was high
Well I started walkin' the long way home
Just to think of an alibi
Well I couldn't think of a doggone thing
That hadn't already been said
So I guess I better just play it by ear
For I'm already dead

Chorus

But today I'll face the big fight but

(Written by Kenya Walker, Nick Pellegrino)

People say I care too much
I'm so emotional
A tender soul who's out of control
I've been told a heart like mine
Is truly valuable
Worth even more than diamonds and gold

I'm overloaded with love
I've been saving up
For someone else who can't get enough
I must have a 10 lb. heart

Chorus:

A ton of devotion
And gallons of tears
An old flame still burning
From my 19th year
Exploding with passion
And raging romance
(Begging) urging me constantly to take one more chance
And let this love inside of me start
Flowing from my 10 lb. heart

I need someone adventurous
This is serious
The timid hearted need not apply
Faithful and available
With some experience
In handling a heavy desire

So now if I've described you
And you need someone who
Can share your dreams and make them come true
Look inside my 10 lb. heart

Repeat chorus 2x

Please won't you help this love inside of me start
