Always On My Mind (American Idol Performance) - Scotty McCreery

People say I'm the life of the party 'Cause I tell a joke or two Although I might be laughing loud and hearty Deep inside I'm blue So take a good look at my face You know my smile looks out of place If you look closer it's easy to trace The tracks of my tears Oh I need you, need you Since you left me if you see me with another guy Looking like I'm having fun Although he might be cute he's just a substitute Because you're the permanent one So take a good look at my face You know my smile looks out of place If you look closer it's easy to trace The tracks of my tears Outside I'm masquerading Inside my hope is fading I'm just a clown since you put me down My smile is my make-up I wear since my break-up with you Baby take a good look at my face You know my smile looks out of place If you look closer it's easy to trace The tracks of my tears Woah baby take a good look at my face You know my smile looks out of place If you look closer it's easy to trace The tracks of my tears Oo

Highway run Into the midnight sun Wheels go 'round and 'round You're on my mind Restless hearts Sleep alone tonight Sendin' all my love Along the wire They say that the road Ain't no place to start a family Right down the line It's been you and me And lovin' a music man Ain't always what it's s'posed to be Oh girl, you stand by me I'm forever yours Faithfully Circus life Under the big top world We all need the clowns To make us smile Through space and time Always another show Then everything Wondering where I am Lost without you And being apart ain't easy On this love affair Two strangers learn To fall in love again I get the joy Of rediscovering you Oh girl, you stand by me I'm forever yours Faithfully Faithfully, I'm still yours I'm forever yours, ever yours, faithfully

This girl was always on my mind That's why you've got me confused I swore off running in twos Eyes meet and magic fills the room You've never seen a girl so fine Oh she gets me so high But when my head is in the clouds She always brings me down, and I fall hard every time But when we're out on the floor You've got me begging for more Make it rain make it pour Let it rip, let it roar You've never seen a girl so fine The kind you've dreamed of forever But there's trouble close behind And I know it's gonna find her This girl was always on my mind She knows and I can't take my pride I cross my heart, she'll cross the line I give in every time Do what it takes just to hold her But when we're out on the floor You've got me begging for more Make it rain make it pour Let it rip, let it roar Roar, roar (Whistles)
