Maybe We Should Just Sleep On It

Maybe we should just sleep on it
I got an empty feelin when that moving van pulled up
It got a little emptier as I watched them fill that truck
And when they carried out your clothes it took my breath away
Now theyre headed for that bed
The thought keeps runnin though my head

Chorus
Baby, maybe, we should just sleep on it tonight
And give our hearts just one more chance to change our minds
I could be wrong but goodbye just dont feel right
So baby, maybe, we should just sleep on it tonight

Ill pay them boys to stop right now
And leave that truck out on the curb
The tv and the phones packed up
So we wont be disturbed
Theres not a light left in this room just a shadow of a doubt
So lets make sure we dont give up
Before weve thought this through enough

Repeat chorus

Baby, maybe, we should just sleep on it tonight
And give our hearts just one more chance to change our minds
I could be wrong but goodbye just dont feel right
So baby, maybe baby, maybe baby, maybe
We should just sleep on it
Tonight

"I Didn't Ask And She Didn't Say"

Fogged in in Dallas
On my way to LA
Staring up at the screen
All flights were delayed
When a voice from behind me asked
Stranger, how have you been?

Well, I was caught off guard
When I saw her face
Stumbled my way through an awkward embrace
Then somehow I managed to say
Good to see you again

We caught up on old friends
Caught up on old times
But all through the small talk
It kept burning though my mind

Does she think about the nights we spent on Crystal Lake?
Wrapped up in a blanket till the break of day
So many times I've wondered
Does she think of me that way
I didn't ask
And she didn't say

Trading stories
And pictures of kids
Things we're gonna do and things we never did
Till stranded in that moment
Not sure what to say
Then she broke the silence
With her little shy smile
She brought up the weather
But all the while

I wonder if she thinks about Jackson Hole
Nights beside the fire and angels in the snow
So many times I've wondered
Does she think of me that way
I didn't ask
And she didn't say

We said our goodbyes
Swore we'd stay in touch
Then we went our separate ways
Knowing no one ever does

But I couldn't help but wonder
As I walked away
If things had turned out different
Where would we be today
So many times I've wonder
Does she think of me that way
I didn't ask
And she didn't say

No, I didn't ask
And she didn't say

"Renegade"

Baby, I go too fast too far
Let's get it straight now
The way things are
I'm not the white knight in your fantasy
But I could be your wildest dream

I might ride with the wind
I might follow the sun
I gotta go where I've never been
'Cause my heart beats to a different drum
It's just the way I was made
I'm a renegade
I'm a renegade

I get this feelin' that I should be gone
Somethin' keeps tellin' me to take you along
I got a Chevy with a big back seat
Climb on in
And take a change on me

I might ride with the wind
I might follow the sun
I gotta go where I've never been
'Cause my heart beats to a different drum
It's just the way I was made
I'm a renegade
I'm a renegade
Don't even think about settlin' down
I ain't gonna hang my hat in no hometown

I might ride with the wind
I might follow the sun
I gotta go where I've never been
'Cause my heart beats to a different drum
It's just the way I was made
I'm a renegade
I'm a renegade

I'm a renegade
I'm a renegade

I Like It, I Love It

Spent forty-eight dollars last night at the county fair,
I throwed out my shoulder but I won her that teddy bear.
Shes got me saying sugar-pie, honey, darlin, and dear,

I aint seen the braves play a game all year.
Im gonna get fired, if I dont get some sleep,
My long lost buddies say Im gettin in too deep.

Chorus:
But I like it, I love it, I want some more of it,
I try so hard, I cant rise above it.
Dont know what it is bout that little gals lovin,
But I like it, I love it, I want some more of it.

My mama and daddy tried to teach me courtesy,
But it never sank in till that girl got a hold of me.
Now Im holding umbrellas and openin up doors,

Im taking out the trash and Im sweepin my floors.
Crossin my fingers, and countin every kiss,
Prayin that it keeps goin on like this.

Chorus:

Bridge:
Got to wash my truck and dress up
To pick he rup to watch tv.
And she sits down on the sofa,
Shell move a little closer...
She cant get enough of me.

"The Great Divide"

She was reading a book that she'd already read
Just to pass the time
He just sat there and stared at the TV set
Like he was barely alive
And when the local news was over
They would climb the stairs
And crawl in bed underneath the covers
Like neither one was there

It's a long, long way
Across the great divide
The songs that they once sang
Now echo far and wide
They could still get back
All the love that they have lost
(But) only if they both will reach across
('Cause) it's a long, long way to the other side
Of the great divide

He was up in the attic on the fourth of July
'Cause they flew a flag in the yard
When he found some old roses she had long ago dried
Before they drifted apart
And how the years had slipped right by them
He didn't understand
He carried a petal into the kitchen
And he placed it in her hand

It's a long, long way
Across the great divide
The songs that they once sang
Now echo far and wide
They could still get back
All the love that they have lost
(But) only if they both will reach across
('Cause) it's a long, long way to the other side
Of the great divide

"You Got The Wrong Man"

Your eyes say that you've been hurt before
And you can't take the heartache anymore
You think I'll do what he's done to you
Break your trust and be untrue
But baby this is me you're talkin' to

You got the wrong man, it's not me
A case of mistaken identity
I didn't break your heart you see
What can I do to make you understand
You got the wrong man

I know you think that love will never last
And you see your future like the past
You don't want to make the same mistake
You think that I'm one more to make
But baby, I'm not him for goodness sake

You got the wrong man, it's not me
A case of mistaken identity
I didn't break your heart you see
What can I do to make you understand
You got the wrong man

You think I'll do what he's done to you
Break your trust and be untrue
But baby this is me you're talkin' to

You got the wrong man, it's not me
A case of mistaken identity
I didn't break your heart you see
What can I do to make you understand
You got the wrong man

"Don't Mention Memphis"

Mister, you can take me into Little Rock
I'll buy the coffee and I'll fill your truck
I'll listen all night if you wanna talk
Just don't mention Memphis

We can talk about your family
Politics and music and philosophy
Any ol' subject's all right with me
Just don't mention Memphis

Or blue eyes
And light brown hair
An angel wavin' to me
From the top of the stairs
The hardest thing I did
Was leave her standing there
So don't mention Memphis

Pass me the thermos and I'll fill your cup
We'll make Texas with a little luck
And I'm hanging with you 'til the sun comes up
So don't mention Memphis

Or blue eyes
And light brown hair
An angel wavin' to me
From the top of the stairs
The hardest thing I did
Was leave her standing there
So don't mention Memphis

"When She Wakes Up (And Finds Me Gone)"

With a trembling pen in hand I try the best I can
To write all the reasons I can't stay
And I hope she'll understand I can't leave her like a man
'Cause a man would never leave her this way

A note of things I should've said
Lays beside her sleeping head
As I turn and make my way off in the night
By the time the morning's breaking
My heart will still be aching
Every time I think of what I've left behind

'Cause I don't want to see me leaving in her eyes
And I can't stand to watch her watch me make her cry
And I don't know a right way I can do her wrong
So I don't want to be here in the morning
When she wakes up and finds me gone

It hurts to know how much she'll hurt I've told myself things could be worse
And I've convinced myself she's better off this way
By the time she finds I'm gone
I'll be a long, long way from home
When she reads a note of things I couldn't say

'Cause I don't want to see me leaving in her eyes
And I can't stand to watch her watch me make her cry
And I don't know a right way I can do her wrong
So I don't want to be here in the morning
When she wakes up and finds me gone

Lord I don't want to be here in the morning
When she wakes up and finds me gone

"That's Just Me"

Well I was southern born and raised on the Good Book
My old boots are worn from the hard roads I took
And I'm proud to be my daddy's son
And momma taught me how to work and not to quit
Until the job's done
Well I may not be high society but I got all I need
And that's just me
The only way I know to be
That's just me
What you get is what you see

Well they tell me I'm old fashioned
And that I'm part of a dying breed
I'd say I'm living in real good company
But that's just me

Well I got me a wife and we're bringing up a young one
Well she's a backwoods woman and my boy he's a top gun
We live out in the country where we're free to roam
And when a hard day is over how I love just going home
Well it's the life I live and the air I breathe

The way I believe

And that's just me
The only way I know to be
That's just me
What you get is what you see

Well they tell me I'm old fashioned
And that I'm part of a dying breed
I'd say I'm living in real good company
But that's just me

Yeah they tell me I'm old fashioned
And that I'm part of a dying breed
I'd say I'm living in real good company
But that's just me

"It Doesn't Get Any Countrier Than This"

Now mama I know you've always wished me the best
And I've found somebody and I think she's gonna pass the test
She's a country girl as far as I can see
Mama I hope she's what you had in mind for me

She likes to go skinny dippin' in the heat of the day
And late at night she wants to roll in the hay
She cranks my tractor with just one kiss
Mama it doesn't get any countrier than this

Now mama I know she didn't grow up on a farm
But she sure knows her way around out behind the barn
And it ain't exactly chores she does at dawn
But she says she's gonna run me till the cows come home

She likes to go skinny dippin' in the heat of the day
And late at night she wants to roll in the hay
She cranks my tractor with just one kiss
Mama it doesn't get any countrier than this

She likes to go skinny dippin' in the heat of the day
And late at night she wants to roll in the hay
She cranks my tractor with just one kiss
Mama it doesn't get any countrier than this
Yeah, mama it doesn't get any countrier than this
