" WHEN SOMEBODY LOVES YOU "
When your heart is all alone every second
Seems so long
When it's just you, you can't see through
Those ol' clouds that rain so blue
But when somebody loves you
There's nothing you can't do
When somebody loves you
It's easy to get through
When somebody loves you
The way I love you
When it's late, the sun hangs low
By yourself, nowhere to go
Sing a song, dance alone
Play solitaire and stare at the phone
But when somebody loves you
There's nothing you can't do
When somebody loves you
It's easy to get through
When somebody loves you
The way I love you
So let's put aside our foolish pride
And let our hearts say, "Hello"
We both agree we're just no good
At bein' on our own
'Cause when somebody loves you
There's nothing you can't do
When somebody loves you
It's easy to get through
When somebody loves you
The way I love you
The way I love you
The way I love you
" COUNTRY BOY "
Excuse me ma'am, I saw you walkin'
I turned around, I'm not a stalker
Where you going? Maybe I can help you
My tank is full, I'd be obliged to take you
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a country boy, I've got a four-wheel drive
Climb in my bed, I'll take you for a ride
Up city streets, down country roads
I can get you where you need to go
'Cause I'm a country boy
You sure look good, sittin' in my right seat
Buckle up, and I'll take you through the five speeds
Wind it up, or I can slow it way down
In the woods or right uptown
I'm a country boy, I've got a four-wheel drive
Climb in my bed, I'll take you for a ride
Up city streets, down country roads
I can get you where you need to go
'Cause I'm a country boy
Big 35's whinin' on the asphalt
Grabbin' mud, and slingin' up some red dirt
'Cause I'm a country boy
My muffler's loud, dual thrush tubes
I crank the music, the tone gets real good
Let me know when we're gettin' close
You can slide on out, or we can head on down the road
'Cause I'm a country boy, I've got a four-wheel drive
Climb in my bed, I'll take you for a ride
Up city streets, down country roads
I can get you where you want to go
'Cause I'm a country boy
Bucket seats, soft as baby's new butt
Lockin' hubs, that'll take you through a deep rut
'Cause I'm a country boy, I've got a four-wheel drive
Climb in my bed, I'll take you for a ride
Up city streets, down winding roads
I can get you where you need to go
'Cause I'm a country boy
Yeah
Yeah I'm a country boy, I've got a four-wheel drive
Climb in my bed, I'll take you for a ride
Up city streets, down country roads
I can get you where you want to go
'Cause I'm a country boy
Yeah, I'm a country boy,
Oh, I'm just a country boy,
A nice little country boy.
" HERE IN THE REAL WORLD "
Cowboys don't cry and heroes don't die
Good always wins again and again
And love is a sweet dream it always comes true
Oh if life were like the movies, I'd never be blue
But here in the real world it's not that easy at all
'Cause when hearts get broken it's real tears that fall
And darlin' it's sad but true but the one thing I've learned from you
Is how the boy don't always get the girl here in the real world
I gave you my love, but that wasn't enough
To hold your heart when times got rough
And tonight on that silver screen, it'll end like it should
Two lovers will make it through like I hoped we would
But here in the real world it's not that easy at all
'Cause when hearts get broken it's real tears that fall
And darlin' it's sad but true but the one thing I've learned from you
Is how the boy don't always get the girl here in the real world
No the boy don't always get the girl here in the real world
" LITTLE BITTY "
Have a little love on a little honeymoon
You got a little dish and you got a little spoon
A little bitty house and a little bitty yard
A little bitty dog and a little bitty car
Well, it's alright to be little bitty
A little hometown or a big old city
Might as well share, might as well smile
Life goes on for a little bitty while
A little bitty baby in a little bitty gown
It'll grow up in a little bitty town
Big yellow bus and little bitty books
It all started with a little bitty look
Well, it's alright to be little bitty
A little hometown or a big old city
Might as well share, might as well smile
Life goes on for a little bitty while
You know you got a job and a little bitty cheque
Six pack of beer and a television set
Little bitty world goes around and around
Little bit of silence and a little bit of sound
A good ole boy and a pretty little girl
Start all over in a little bitty world
A little bitty plan and a little bitty dream
It's all part of a little bitty scheme
It's alright to be little bitty
A little hometown or a big old city
Might as well share, might as well smile
Life goes on for a little bitty while
It's alright to be little bitty
A little hometown or a big old city
Might as well share, might as well smile
Life goes on for a little bitty while
" LIVIN' ON LOVE "
Two young people without a thing
Say some vows and spread their wings
Settle down with just what they need
Livin' on love
She don't care 'bout what's in style
She just likes the way he smiles
It takes more than marble and tile
Livin' on love
Livin' on love, buyin' on time
Without somebody nothing ain't worth a dime
Just like an old fashioned story book rhyme
Livin' on love
It sounds simple, that's what you're thinkin'
But love can walk through fire without blinkin'
It doesn't take much when you get enough
Livin' on love
Two old people without a thing
Children gone but still they sing
Side by side in that front porch swing
Livin' on love
He can't see anymore
And she can barely sweep the floor
Hand in hand, they'll walk through that door
Livin' on love
Livin' on love, buyin' on time
Without somebody nothing ain't worth a dime
Just like an old fashioned story book rhyme
Livin' on love
It sounds simple, that's what you're thinkin'
But love can walk through fire without blinkin'
It doesn't take much when you get enough
Livin' on love
No, it doesn't take much when you get enough
Livin' on love
" LONG WAY TO GO "
Well, I drove down to the ocean
Left my heartache way behind
But the rain won't leave, and the pain won't ease
And the sun don't wanna shine
So I ordered me up a killer
Found a view out across the sea
I sat down in the sand, a drink in my hand
And the glass lookin back at me
I got a bug in my margarita
Seems bad, love won't leave me alone
I've got a woman I'm tryin to drink away
I've got a long, long way to go
Yeah, I've got a long, long way to go
Well, I met an ol' boy from Georgia
His woman done knocked him down
I asked him how he's doin, he stared at me confused
And said, "Hey, can't you look around?"
He said "The rain won't leave, and the pain won't ease
And the sun don't wanna shine
And there's somethin in the bottom of this drink I've just gotten
It don't look like a worm to me"
I got a bug in my margarita
Seems bad, love won't leave me alone
I've got a woman I'm tryin to drink away
I've got a long, long way to go
Yeah, I've got a long, long way to go
So we put our drinks together, and we toasted rainy weather
And the women that had done us wrong
Then we threw back margaritas, the bugs just made it sweeter
And we both sang a happy song
I got a bug in my margarita
Seems bad, love won't leave me alone
I've got a woman I'm tryin to drink away
I've got a long, long way to go
Yeah, I got a bug in my margarita
Seems bad, love won't leave me alone
I've got a woman I'm tryin to drink away
I've got a long, long way to go
Yeah, I got a bug in my margarita
Seems bad, love won't leave me alone
I've got a woman I'm tryin to drink away
I've got a long, long way to go
Yeah, I got a long, long way to go
" SMALL TOWN SOUTHERN MAN "
Born the middle son of a farmer
And a small town Southern man
Like his daddy's daddy before him
Brought up workin' on the land
Fell in love with a small town woman
And they married up and settled down
Natural way of life if you're lucky
For a small town Southern man
First there came four pretty daughters
For this small town Southern man
Then a few years later came another
A boy, he wasn't planned
Seven people livin' all together
In a house built with his own hands
Little words with love and understandin'
From a small town Southern man
And he bowed his head to Jesus
And he stood for Uncle Sam
And he only loved one woman
He was always proud of what he had
He said his greatest contribution
Is the ones you leave behind
Raised on the ways and gentle kindness
Of a small town Southern man
Callous hands told the story
For this small town Southern man
He gave it all to keep it all together
And keep his family on his land
Like his daddy, years wore out his body
Made it hard just to walk and stand
You can break the back
But you can't break the spirit
Of a small town Southern man
And he bowed his head to Jesus
And he stood for Uncle Sam
And he only loved one woman
He was always proud of what he had
He said his greatest contribution
Is the ones you leave behind
Raised on the ways and gentle kindness
Of a small town Southern man
Finally death came callin'
For this small town Southern man
He said it's alright 'cause I see angels
And they got me by the hand
Don't you cry, and don't you worry
I'm blessed, and I know I am
'Cause God has a place in Heaven
For the small town Southern man
And he bowed his head to Jesus
And he stood for Uncle Sam
And he only loved one woman
He was always proud of what he had
He said his greatest contribution
Is the ones you leave behind
Raised on the ways and gentle kindness
Of a small town Southern man
Raised on the ways and gentle kindness
Of a small town Southern man
" SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO LOVE ME ANYMORE "
I'll be the bad guy,
I'll take the black eye,
When I walk out,
You can slam the door,
I'll be the S O B,
If that's what you need from me,
So you don't have to love me anymore
When you and our friends talk,
Make it all my fault,
Tell 'em I'm rotten to the core,
I'll let it all slide,
Get 'em all on your side,
So you don't have to love me anymore
I will keep,
All those memories, of the good times
Yeah, there were some good times
So when you think,
Of you and me,
They won't even cross your mind
If the wine you're drinkin',
Leads you to thinkin',
That you want what we had before,
Girl you can call me,
I'll let it ring and ring,
So you don't have to love me anymore
Yeah, I will keep,
All those memories of the good times
Yeah, they were some good times
So when you think,
Of you and me,
They won't even cross your mind
If you need me to make you cry,
I don't want to but I'll try,
So you don't have to love me anymore
