WIDE OPEN SPACES

�� Who doesn't know what I'm talking about?, who's never left home, who's never struck out to find a dream, and a life of their own, a place in the clouds, a foundation of stone, many precede and many will follow, a young girls dreams no longer hollow, it takes the place of a shape out west, but what it holds for her, she hasn't yet guessed,

�� Chorus:��

She needs, Wide open spaces, room to make her big mistakes, she needs new faces, she knows the high stakes,

�� she traveled this road as a child, wide eyed and grinning she never tired, but now she won't be coming back with the rest, it these are life's lessons, she'll take this test,

�� She needs, Wide open spaces, room to make her big mistakes, she needs new faces, she knows the high stakes,

�� As her folks drive away her dad yells check the oil, Momma stares out the window and say i'm leaving my girl, she said it didn't seem like that long ago, when she stood there, and let her own folks know,

�� She needed, Wide open spaces, room to make her big mistakes, she needs new faces, she knows the high stakes.

�� She knows the high stakes, she knows the highest stakes, she knows the highest stakes. she knows the highest stakes.

LOVING ARMS

�� If you could see me now, the one who said that she'd rather go, the one who said she'd rather be alone, if you could only see me,� If I could hold you now, just for a moment if I could really make you mine, just for awhile turn back the hands of time, if I could only hold you now,

�� I've been too long in the wind, too long in the rain, taking any comfort that I can, looking back and longin for the freedom of my chains, and lying in your lovin arms again,

�� If you could see me now, singing somewhere through the lonely nights, dreaming of the arms that held me tight, if you could hear me now,

�� I've been too long in the wind, too long in the rain, taking any comfort that I can, looking back and longin for the freedom of my chains, and lying in your lovin arms again.

�� I've been too long in the wind, too long in the rain, taking any comfort that I can, looking back and longin for the freedom of my chains, and lying in your lovin arms again,

I can almost feel your lovin arms again.

THERE'S YOUR TROUBLE

�� Shoulda been different, but it wasn't different was it, was the same old story, Dear John and so long,� shoulda fit like a glove, shoulda fit like a ring, like a diamond ring, a token of true love, Should've all worked out but it didn't, she should be here now, but she isn't,

�� There's your trouble, there's you're trouble kid, seein double with the wrong one, and you can see I love you, you can see she doesn't, but you just keep a holding on, there's your trouble,

�� So now you're thinking bout all you're missin how , deep you're sinking round, and round and draggin down, why don't you cash in your chips, why don't you call it a loss, it's not such a big loss to chalk it up to better luck, coulda been true love, but it wasn't, it should all add up, but it doesn't,

�� There's your trouble, there's you're trouble kid, seein double with the wrong one, and you can see I love you, you can see she doesn't, but you just keep a holding on, there's your trouble,

�� Should've all worked out but it didn't, she should be here now, but she isn't

�� There's your trouble, there's you're trouble kid, seein double with the wrong one, and you can see I love you, you can see she doesn't, but you just keep a holding on, there's your trouble,

There's your trouble, there's your trouble, there's your trouble, there is your trouble.

YOU WERE MINE

�� I can't find a reason, to let go, even though you've found a new love, and she's what your dreams are made of, I can find a reason, to hang on, what went wrong can be forgiven, without you it ain't worth living, Alone

�� Sometimes I wake up crying at night, and sometimes I scream out your name, what right does she have to take you away, when for so long you were mine,

�� I took out all the pictures of our wedding day, it was time of love and laughter, and happy ever afters, but even though those pictures have begun to fade, please tell me she's not real, and that you're really coming home to stay.

�� Sometimes I wake up crying at night, and sometimes I scream out your name, what right does she have to take your heart away, when for so long you were mine,

�� I can give you two good reasons to show you love's not bling, he's two and she's four, and you know they adore you, so how can I tell them you've changed your mind?,

�� Sometimes I wake up crying at night, and sometimes I scream out your name, what right does she have to take your heart away, when for so long you were mine,

I remember when you were mine.

NEVER SAY DIE

�� Lyin next to you in the dark, I can feel your beating heart, you've been here beside me through the test of time, we've both had our share of doubts, waited out those old storm clouds, boy it's nights like these that I know why, Lovers like you and me will never say day

�� Cause there's a long line of folks given up on love, so many hearts get broken in the push and shove, I'll believe in you for the rest of my life, baby lovers like you and me will never say die,

�� Tears of joy and tears of pain, tears say more than explain, there's no need for words here tonight, we've both felt each other's power, a tender touch in the wee small hours strong enough to hold us for a lifetime, lovers like you and me will never say die,

�� Oh lovers like you and me will never say die

�

LET 'ER RIP

�� I can tell, there's something you don't wanna tell me, it's killin you cause the words are hard to find, well I know you wanna break it to me gently, well sweet baby say what's on your mind,

�� Let 'er rip, let it fly, come one baby say it do you think I'm gonna cry,� I ain't about to fall, and I ain't gonna die, so if you're gonna say good-bye, don't take all damn night, let 'er rip, let it fly,

�� Why the dramma, we don't have to drag out the situation, it wasn't you it wasn't me, sometimes the chemistry don't ignite, there ain't no rings, no mortgage, there ain't any complications, it's just a hyphenated word, get it out I"m sure I'll be all right,

�� It ain't no big deal, it ain't no great loss, you and I are on the same train of thought, so you don't have to tell me where to get off, baby I misunderstood ya, if you're leavin baby would ya,

If you're gonna say good-bye don't take all damn night, let 'er rip, let if fly.

ONCE YOU'VE LOVED SOMEBODY

�� I should go out tonight, and get on with my life, and break these chains of solitude, with a little luck, and a little help, I might even find myself in the arms of someone new,

�� But once you've loved somebody, it ain't that easy to do, once you've loved somebody, like I loved you,

�� Now look what you've gone and done, ruined everything for everyone, who tries to steal this heart away, I can't get you off of my mind, I try to tell myself a million ttimes, a little time is all it takes,

�� But once you've loved somebody, it ain't that easy to do, once you've loved somebody, like I loved you,

�� I gave you everything that I had to give, I dont' know if I can go that far again,

�� Cause once you've loved somebody, it ain't that easy to do, once you've loved somebody, like I loved you,

�� Oh once you've loved somebody, it ain't that easy to do, once you've loved somebody, like I loved you

Once you've loved somebody, Like I loved you.

AM I THE ONLY ONE

�� There is no good reason I should have to be so alone, I'm smothered by this emptiness, lord I wish I was made of stone,� like a fool I let my soul to love, and it payed me back in change, god help me, am I the only one who's ever felt this way,

�� A heart that's worn and weathered, would know better than to fight, but I wore mine like a weapon, layed out love like a crime, and it wrung me out, and strung me out and it hung years on my face, god help me am I the only one who's � ever felt this way?,

�� Now my sense of humor needs a break, see a shadow in the mirror, and she's laughing through her tears, one more smile's all I can fake...

�� There is a wound inside me, and it's bleeding like a flood, there's times when I see a light ahead, but hope is not enough, and another night surrounds me, and it's pounding like a wave, god help me, am I the only one who's ever felt this way?

God help me, am I the only one who's ever felt this way?

GIVE IT UP OR LET ME GO

�� Well I told you pretty baby, such a long time ago, if I found you with another, I'd walk right out your door, oh you might call me crazy, just one thing you should know, oh honey, if you want me to love you've got to, give it up or let me go,

�� I know it's useless to be jealous, I couldn't tie you if I tried, but I think of you messin round my back, and brings a pain I just can't hide, oh baby I've been true to you, and if I can make that sacrifice, honey you can do it to,

�� Oh play that guitar Tommy,

�� Well you come home drunk and nasty, you won't tell me were you've been, just when things are nice and sweet you're goin back out again, why do you wanna mess up the good things, I'm gonna find me another man, one who wants to give me everything,

�� Emily needs to find that thing,

�� Bring it up Marty,

�� Well I told you pretty baby, such a long time ago, if I found you with another, I'd walk right out your door, well you might call me crazy, but there's just one thing you should know, oh honey, if you want me to love you've got to, give it up or let me go,

�� Bring it up now

�� Give it up or let me go.
