Shotgun houses, shanty shacks
Countin' those ties on the railroad track
Thirty-four more, it's almost time
To see my baby walking out of that

Chorus:
Coalmine, covered with dust
T-shirt tired, all muscled up
All mine, head to toe
Come on, come on, whistle, blow
I can't wait to get him home
Ain't gonna have nothing but the supper on
Gonna keep him busy 'til its time
He goes back to that coalmine

Some girls like them gussied up
wearing all that smelly stuff
To me there's nothing quite so fine
As my man standing in front of that

2nd Chorus:
Coalmine, covered with dust
T-shirt tied, all muscled up
All mine, head to toe
Come on, come on whistle, blow
Power's out, well that's all right
We'll make love by a miner's light
Gonna keep him busy 'til its time
He goes back to that coalmine

Shotgun houses, shanty shacks
Countrin' those ties on the railroad track
Just two more, it's almost time
To see my baby walking out of that

3rd Chorus:
Coalmine, covered with dust
T-shirt tied, all muscled up
All mine, head to tow
Come on, come on whistle, blow
Don't want no white-collared man
Midnight, I like calloused hands
To keep me busy 'til its time
He goes back to that coalmine

I can't wait to get him home
Ain't gonna have nothing but the supper on
Power's out, well that's all right
We'll make love by a miner's light
Don't want no white-collared man
Midnight, I live calloused hands
To keep me bust 'til its time

I'm gonna do it darlin':
I could waste time tryin' the figure it out,
But I'm jumpin' in anyhow.
I've never been this far;
Didn't know love could run so deep:
Didn't know I'd lose this much sleep.

Holdin' you close, chasin' that moon.
Spinnin' all night,
Lovin' just who you are:
Sparks flyin' in the dark.
Shootin' out lights, huntin' down dreams,
Figurin' out what love really means:
Baby, givin' you my heart,
Is a real fine place to start.

Somethin' is goin' on,
I can't explain but sure can touch:
It's callin' both of us.
Stronger than any fear or doubt,
It's changin' everything I see:
It's changin' you, it's changin' me.

Holdin' you close, chasin' that moon.
Spinnin' all night,
Lovin' just who you are:
Sparks flyin' in the dark.
Shootin' down lights, runnin' down dreams,
Figurin' out what love really means:
Baby, givin' you my heart,
Is a real fine place to start.

Right here, right now's the perfect spot, the perfect time.
The perfect moment when your skin is next to mine.

Instrumental break.

Yeah, yeah:
Holdin' you close, (Holdin' you close.)
Chasin' that moon. (Chasin' that moon.)
Spinnin' all night,
Lovin' just who you are:
Sparks flyin' in the dark.
Shootin' out lights, (Shootin' down lights.)
Runnin' down dreams, (Runnin' down dreams.)
Figurin' out just what love really means:
Baby, givin' you my heart's a real fine place,
Real fine place to start.
Oh yeah.

You say your every day
Is a bad dream that keeps repeatin'
Maybe you should've thought about that
When you were cheatin'

How do you like that furnished room, the bed, the chair, the table
The TV pictures goes in and out, too bad you don't have cable
How do you like that paper plate, and those pork-n-beans you're eatin'
Maybe you should've thought about that
When you were cheatin'

How do you like that beat up car, I think it's fair we traded
You pick up truck is running fine, it's a cozy ride for datin'
Yes, I've been out a time or two, and found the comfort I've been needin
Maybe you should've thought about that
When you were cheatin'

You made your bed and your out of mine
You lie awake and I sleep just fine
You've done your sowing, now you can do your reaping
Maybe you should've thought about that
When you were cheatin'

What became of what's her name, after she spent all your money
Did she leave you like you left me, sometimes life is funny
But I'll be glad to take you back, just as soon as I stop breathin
Maybe you should've thought about that
Maybe you should've thought about that
When you were cheatin'

Every day we walk right past
All the concrete and the glass
I don't know where we're going
I hardly ever see your face
And there's not enough space
For all the love we should be growing

Chorus:
We just need a little earth to stand on
Plant our hearts on solid ground
Turn the lights out on this city
And wake up in a new hometown
We'll stand out in our front yard
Where we can finally breathe
If we find a little earth to stand on
Baby you and me

Imagine Friday football games
Where everybody knows our names
They even stop to say hello
I bet they'll have a town parade
Kids selling lemonade
Baby, don't you wanna go, ohhhh

Repeat chorus

Bridge:
I don't want to face tomorrow
If we don't leave this place tonight
I've never been more sure
Of anything in my life

All we need's a little earth to stand on
Plant our hearts on solid ground
Turn the lights out on this city
And wake up in a new hometown
Stand out in our front yard
Where we can finally breathe
If we find a little earth to stand on
Baby you and me

Need a little earth to stand on
Plant our hearts on solid ground
Turn the lights out on this city
And wake up in a new hometown
We'll dance out in our front yard
Underneath a maple tree
If we find a little earth to stand on

There I was ten years old
waiting in my room for him to come home
I just knew he'd be so mad
though I begged my mother not to, she told my dad.
There was no denying I let him down
but instead of being angry
he put his arms around me and said

in the sunlight or the rain brightest nights or darkest days
I'll always feel the same way
whatever road you may be on
no your never too far gone my love is there wherever you may be
just remember that you will always be my baby.

There I was twenty one
oh I was so ashamed of what I'd done
on a country road
parked one night
it started out so innocent
then crossed the line
there was no denying
I let God down
but instead of being angry
he wrapped his arms around me and I heard

in the sunlight or the rain brightest nights or darkest rains
I'll always feel the same way
whatever road you may be on
no your never too far gone
my love is there wherever you may be
just remember that you will always be my baby yeah yeah.

There he is my little man
I'm sure he'll get in trouble every now and then
and I pray to god that when he does
I'll be just as understanding
and my father was oh the last thing that I want to do is let him down
so instead of being angry
I'm gonna throw my arms around him and I'll say

in the sunlight or the rain brightest nights or darkest rains
I'll always feel the same way whatever road you may be on
noo your never too far gone
my love is there wherever you may be

I'm a bee charmer for you baby
I get you honey if you've got the taste
A little sting now and then, well it does not bother me, no
I don'e mind no king bee buzzin' around my face

[Chorus]
Go with you anyway the wind blows
Straight through the fire into the unknown
Follow the feelin'
'Cause I know it's supernatural...
Yeah, supernatural

I'm a snake handler from the mountains
I sing them rattlers off to sleep, yeah
And if my baby says he needs healin'
There's no fever too hot, no cut too deep

[Repeat Chorus]

I'm a rainmaker in the desert
I dance and coax the clouds to cry
To put the bloom back in baby's meadow
I'll flood the faith back into your eyes

[Chorus]
Go with you anyway the wind blows
Straight through the fire into the unknown
Follow the feelin'
'Cause I know it's supernatural...
Supernatural, baby
Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on, go with it baby
Supernatural, yeah
Ooo, come on, come on, come on, come on, go with it baby
Supernatural

He was just a boy of seventeen
And I was older by a year
And we spent everything we ever made
To get away from here

We got married in the winter time
At the Open Doors Cafe
No matter how he tried, he couldn't fine the peace of mind to stay

[Chorus]
All the glitter out in Hollywood
All the stars that never shine
They can't hold a candle to your wind
Could you roll me, roll me back in time

Got a job and worked the early shift
I spent hours by the phone
Promises are easy to forget
When there's too much time alone

You've got something they can't argue with
That's what all the people say
He's just wating for the obvious
His star is on his way, any day

[Repeat Chorus]

[Bridge]
Just this side of sunrise,
you can feel it in the air
That something's bound to happen
It's just right there
Everyboyd loves you, it's so easy to see
But it's only, yeah, it's only in your dreams

[Repeat Chorus]

I woke up to find him standing there with his suitcase in his hand

Across a crowded room
I can't keep my eyes off you
You take my breath away
Looking at me now
I know what you are thinking about
You are thinking about the way
You woke me up this morning and made sweet love to me

Oh baby
I love the way you touch me
You know my body so well
You do much more to love me

Wrapped up inside of you is where I want to be
Because no body knows
No body knows
No body knows the secrets that we keep

Once we get inside these four walls
All the hesitation falls
We can't wait no more
As you help me get undressed you don't have to guess
Baby you know what I want
I want to love you til the sun comes up
Til I am sure you are satisfied

Oh baby
I love the way you touch me
You know my body so well
You do much more to love me

Wrapped up inside of you is where I want to be
Because no body knows
The secrets that we keep, yeah.

Ohh, Wrapped up inside of you
Is where I want to be
'Cause no body knows
No body knows
No body knows
No body knows

No stranger in this town
Nobody moves without making a sound
You live and die within the borders and lines
No one dies without paying their fines

No lovers in this town
The moon's full but it sure ain't round
And just because you lie in his bed
Don't mean he meant the things he said

[1st Chorus]
They marry young in these parts
They work the factories
So I ran as fast as I could
Through the tall grass and the midnight woods
So no one would sing some bible song over me

My cousin died in his sleep
Forty pilss, two kids to keep
And how will she explain to those kids
About the sorry thing daddy did

They marry young in these parts
They raise their kids and set them free
So I ran as fast as I could
Through the tall grass and the midnight woods
So no one would sing some bible song over me

They buried him out in the cold
He was only twenty-four years old
How his mother came undone
When the choir sang hallelujah

[Chorus]
I ran as fast as I could
Through the tall grass and the midnight woods
I ran as fast as I could
Through the tall grass and the midnight woods
Hallelujah Hallelujah - ahh
Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah

Come tell me something new about you baby
I've been wondering if there's something
I can do for you
you and me may not always agree on the little things
But I am open always, hoping, you'll come tell me

I have loved you from the moment you touched me
Through the hard times and the sunshine
I have loved you

Come lay down, let's be found

[Chorus]
Sing me a love song
I wanna stay right here in your arms through the night
I don't wanna be selfish
I wanna give you anything you want from me
So tell me

Put your heart ou, lay it all out on the line
Let me take it while we're making love tonight

You're the one thing in my life that stays the same
Through all the seasons
Everlasting, never changing
You're the one thing

[Repeat Chorus]

I love my life, love my husband
Without those kid's, man I ain't nothin'
I love my fans, love my band
Love my little Tennessee piece of land
Sometimes my life can get so hectic
Out of the blue when I least expect it
Somewhere between the hubbub and the drama
I get to thinkin' bout mama and

(CHORUS)
I'm caught up in missing Missouri
'Cause I wanna be with my family
Instead of stuck out on this road I'm on
Everytime my bus wheels hit the boot hill
There's no limelight and I'm alright
'Cause I'm almost home
Where they love me, where they know me
Where they show me back in Missouri

the road just ain't no place for whiners
It's motels, truck stops, all night diners
Hoping that your song'll sell
And having to smile when it ain't doin well
So when everything just gets to much
And I feel like I'm givin up
I close my eyes and say a little prayer
And its like I'm there and

(CHORUS)

Bridge:
Late summer nights sneakin out the window
Me and the girls driving down the backroads
Tobacco fields and bumblebees
And the cardinals playing on TV

Well' you never buy me flowers
Hey, did you hear what I said
I'll be dancing barefoot while you put the kids to bed

Take a good look darlin
At the smile on my face
It's been a long hard week and I'm ready to play

Now take a big whiff honey
Of my sweet perfume
Well, it's the only thing left of me left in this room

(CHORUS)
Cause' I'm alright now
Got a little money
And the gas taks full
Yeah, I'm alright now
Me and the girls in the Coupe DeVille
Yeah, I'm alright
Daddy's doin dishes
Cause it's momma'a night out

Well you can be a couch potatoe
Drink your beer and eat some chips
While I put a little Wet-N-Wild on my lips
So take a picture of me honey
Cause I look so fine
You got yours and I got mine
Repeat chorus
solo

repeat chorus

Wasn't that long ago
I was skipping school with a lunchbox
Pigtails in my hair
Where did the time go
One minute I'm playing in the sandbox
How'd I get to here from there
Making lunches and folding clothes
Is not the most glamourous life I know
But I've got so much more than most

[Chorus]
I'm not famous but my kids think I'm a star
Im not rich but I've made a million memories so far
I may not be a model
But My man thinks I could be
I may not be from royalty
But in these four walls
I'm the queen

I had it all planned
First I'd make it big in Nashville
Then take hollywood by storm
But it was in God's hands
There were three little lives that would need me
To one day be their mom
I wouldn't trade it for anything
Those movie stars don't have everything
I know I'm right where I wanna be

[Repeat Chorus]

I had to let it go, but I have no regrets
I would have never known this kind of happiness

[Repeat Chorus]
