(Keith Urban and Vernon Rust)

Runnin' from the rate race
Just as fast as I can
Take off my tie so I can breathe
Me, I'm going where the fresh air's blowin'
Take a little walk in the country with me

(Chorus)
Walk in the country with me
Watch the sun sinkin' down on the trees
It's gonna do us some good
To get down in the woods
Take a little walk in the country with me

I'm so sick of all them TV shows
I need some dirt road under my feet
C'mon let's point our toes where the red fern grows
Take a little walk in the country with me
Come on now

(Repeat Chorus)

Walkin' the country
Oh bless my soul
Just gimme that country road
Come on now

(Repeat Chorus)

Take a little walk in the country with me
Come on now baby
Take a little walk in the country with me

(Keith Urban and Vernon Rust)

You spun your web back a Sunday or two
I ain't never met nobody
Like the likes of you
You got me preachin' the news
You turned down my road and decided to stay
And I took a shine to your hair
And your hillbillly ways
And how you kiss on my face
I got a bone deep feelin'
You're the start of the good ole days

(Chorus)
Well I still remember
You came by my trailer
With chicken and some homemade wine
The dogs got to barkin'
When we got the sparkin'
We almost set the house on fire
Well I got a big heapin' helpin'
Of the stuff I get a hankerin' for
But honey your homespun love
Just keeps me comin' back for more

I like the flamingos you stuck in your yard
And I like the notions you stick in my head and my heart
Yeah and how you fix on my car
Well I reckon I'm lucky you're everything I need so far

(Repeat Chorus)

(Cyril Rawson and Scott Phelps)

I heard the rumor that we're callin' it off
And we won't last too long
But I got this feelin' when I'm looking at you
Baby,
They couldn't be more wrong
They've been sayin' it's a shaky romance
And they don't give the two of us too much of a chance

(Chorus)
But if the Grand Canyon is just some ditch
Dorothy and Toto fought just some witch
And if Babe Ruth was just a guy with a glove
Then oooh baby this is just some love
Oooh baby this is just some love

I speak my mind baby that's the truth
But you've got a temper too
So when they see us start to fuss and fight
I guess they think we're through
But if they're judgin' us by what they see
Then they don't have a clue about you and me

'Cause if the Rocky Mountains are just some hills
Niagra Falls is just some water spills
And if Humphrey Bogart was just some tough
Then oooh baby this is just some love
Oooh baby this is just some love

(Repeat Chorus)

Oooh baby this is just some love
Oooh baby this is just some love

(Marshall Morgan and Troy Johnson)

It was about five til' five on Friday
We were all getting ready to go
And the boss man started screaming
And his veins began to show
He said "You and you come with me
'Cause you're gonna have to stay"
My heart was thumping I was jumping
I had to get away

(Chorus)
Some days you gotta dance
Live it up when you get the chance
When the world doesn't make no sense
And you're feeling just a little too tense
Gotta loosen up those chains and dance

Well I was talking with my baby
Over a small glass of tea
When she asked a loaded question
She said "How do you feel about me?"
My mind was racin' I was pacin'
But the words just wouldn't come
And there was only one thing left to do
I feel it coming on

(Repeat Chorus)

Some days you gotta dance
You gotta loosen up those chains and dance
You gotta loosen up those chains and dance

(Keith Urban and Vernon Rust)

I can feel your goodbye comin'
Like a storm up from the south
The rain'll splatter at the back door
The wind'll whistle 'round the house
So it's you and Howie Johnston
Somebody told me at the store
I guess I'd better get used
To the idea of you
Not around anymore

(Chorus)
And so, I'm doin' my best to prepare for the worst
And I'd better get use to the hunger and thirst
I gotta find me a potion
To take for the pain
And all you've got to lose
Is my last name

I know he's cute and he's got money
I ain't no handsome fancy Dan
In a way it's sad and kinda funny
You'll be ok and I'll be damned
So I best be gettin' ready
For the bitter nights alone
Sleepin' on the couch
Wake up starting out
Livin' life on my own

(Repeat Chorus)

Yeah, all you've got to lose is my last name

(Keith Urban and Vernon Rust)

It's killin' me to write the word "goodbye"
I've wadded up and tossed a thousand tries
We both know the reason
There ain't nothing to explain
But I know that my leavin'
Will spare us both the pain

(Chorus)
Desiree I can't hold you any longer
Desiree you love his money more than me
And the taxi's at the gate
I guess all that's left to say
Is in teardrops at the bottom of the page
"I love you Desiree"

It'd be easier to leave if I were mad
But it's hard to lose the best you'll ever have
And to write this note to you
Was the hardest thing to do
But not as hard as bein' a poor boy
Who can't afford a girl like you

(Repeat Chorus)

God, I love you Desiree
But I just can't take it anymore
I won't be around for your goodbye
I won't be around for your goodbye
You love his money more than me
I won't be around for your goodbye
You love his money more than me
I won't be around for your goodbye
Oh you love his money, you love it more than me
I was just a fool who couldn't see
That you love his money, you love it more than me

(Keith Urban and Vernon Rust)

I'm on a red dirt road winding up to a sky of blue
And I left the blacktop back about a mile or two
No more sittin' at home leave the T.V. and the telephone far behind
This life is killin' us all, back roads are lookin' mighty fine
Oh, and...

(Chorus)
Freedom's finally mine
I ain't takin' anymore
Yeah freedom's finally mine, It's finally mine
I ain't takin' anymore
Oh, freedom's finally mine

I'd like to throw out this cellular
And kick off these shop-shined shoes
Leave the kids at your mama's
And take off to Timbuktu
So give me two sets of mud-grip tracks
Leadin' off to way out back o' yonder
There's no mountain I can't climb
To satisfy this need of mine to wander
Oh, 'cause...

(Repeat Chorus)

There's no desert I can't cross
No river too wide
I can do what I want now
'Cause freedom's finally mine

(Repeat Chorus)

Oh freedom oh freedom It's finally mine, yeah it's mine
It's finally mine, yeah it's mine

(Keith Urban and Vernon Rust)

I had a heck of a time gettin' into my house today
There was a big ass U-Haul trailer in my way
And she was headed for the car ...so I grabbed my old guitar
I got one more chance before she drives away
So...

(Chorus)
Hank don't fail me now
You've always bailed me out
"Your Cheatin' Heart"
Could set that suitcase down
Give me one more song to whine
That'll make her change her mind
Cause she's walkin' out
Hank don't fail me now

Yeah she was throwin' stuff... cussin' like a sailor at me
She was waving her arms around like she was fightin' bees
If I could yodel her a lick
That just might do the trick
If I sang "I Saw The Light" would she believe
(I don't think so)
So...

(Repeat Chorus 2x)

She's walkin' out
Hank don't fail me now
She's walkin' out
Hank don't fail me now

(Keith Urban and Vernon Rust)

You know the cards are stacked against this
As we surrender our defenses
And I've torn down all my fences just for you
And you feel it too
What do we do
Do we run or see it through

The longer we're together
It just keeps gettin' better
And you hide your little love letters
Around the house for me
And it's plain to see
That you'll always be all I'll ever need
The webs we spun
Wove into one
And left us tangled up in love

You squeeze my hand I understand
About a woman and a man
I love the way you make me feel
You got me tangled up in love
The webs we spun
Wove into one
Left us tangled up in love

(Repeat Chorus)

(Vernon Rust)

Well I ain't proud of what I'm about to do
All alone up here with you
With the picture of your man
Face down upon the night stand, so he can't see
And I don't like running all the red lights here
Every time the coast is clear
Any time you need my lovin'
You know I'll come running, faithfully

(Chorus)
Cause he stays so busy with his money
And you, you get so lonely when he's gone
And me, I'm just your temporary lover
'Til your blues are gone
I'm the man of the house whenever he ain't home

Now the statues on the side of that big gate
They're laughing as I drive away
And I can't keep from thinking
Are they laughing at your old man or at me
And the only part that I don't like to play
Is the part when I get up and go away
I find it mighty hard
Just keeping this old heart tucked away
Cause he stays...

(Repeat Chorus)

I'm the man of the house
When your other man ain't home

(Keith Urban and Vernon Rust)

Down the drain pipe cross the yard and through the fence
I risked a whoopin' every time I went
'Cause white boys weren't allowed
On the colored side of town
But I was proud to call
That old black man my friend
He had a pillow by the bed he used to pray on
And a beat up old guitar he let me play on
I knew where my fingers went
From his greasy fingerprints
Yeah, he was passin' on
What was handed down to him

(Chorus)
And it soaked up all the blood and sweat and teardrops
And the beers he missed in smokey little bars
And sometimes that old man he comes alive in my hands
I feel the beating of his sad old broken heart
Just like there's a ghost in this guitar
A ghost in this guitar

Well, the night before he died he made me take it
He said, "You play it now, 'cause I gotta go"
And I can feel him in my fingers when I play it
'Cause sometimes I'm in control
And sometimes I just sit back
And let him go
Sit back and let him go

(Repeat Chorus)

Take a listen to the ghost in this guitar

(Gerry Rafferty / Joe Egan)

Well, I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wondering if I'll get down the stairs
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
Stuck in the middle with you

Well, I'm stuck in the middle with you
And I'm wondering what is I should do
It's so hard to wipe this smile from my face
Lose control and I'm all over the place
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

Chorus:
Well, you started out with nothing
And you're proud you're a self-made man
And your friends they all come crawling
Slap you on the back and say, "Please, please"

(Repeat Chorus)

Well, I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wondering if I'll get down the stairs
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you

Here I am, here I am
Stuck in the middle with you

(Gary Burr/Monty Powell/Keith Urban)

Billy left on Friday night with twenty dollars cash
Had a thousand more and a diamond on his hand
When he got back
I don't know just where Billy got that dough

Saturday he spent in style
Drinks were on the house
Lincoln here, and a Jackson there
Suspicions were aroused

A dime was dropped and a name was named
A body soon was found
A travelin' Bilble salesman on his monthly trip to town
Three bullet holes
A .38 done took his soul
What do you know
No diamond ring no money roll

A quick investigation
They dragged Billy to the station
And broke him down with the third degree
His alibi unraveled
Judge Riley banged his gavel
A 12-man jury all agreed
So he must be guilty

I knew Billy spent that night
Winning big at cards
And the salesman was a married man
Who broke my sisters heart
Billy sits in Levenworth
Waiting for the gas
And I know lots of other things
But no one ever asked
So they'll never know
Swear to God they'll never know
Case is closed, that's how the story will be told
