Bar stool, open sign blinking I'm the only lonely one drinking Looking back, what the hell was I thinking Leaving you that night? Another round, tryna drown you, honey But like a freight train, you keep on running Through my mind, yeah, it's like this all the time If I knew what was good for me I'd drive that old Ford To your front door and tell you That girl, you were good for me Would you believe if I told you I wish I could hold you one more time Yeah, I'd be over there tonight If I knew what was good for me I call, but you don't pick up Before the voicemail starts, I hang up Man, I hate the way I miss us Damn, this is messed up If I knew what was good for me I'd drive that old Ford To your front door and tell you That girl, you were good for me Would you believe if I told you I wish I could hold you one more time Yeah, I'd be over there tonight If I knew what was good for me If I knew what was good for me If I knew what was good for me I'd drive that old Ford To your front door and tell you That girl, you were good for me Would you believe if I told you I wish I could hold you one more time Yeah, I'd be over there tonight If I knew what was good for me If I knew what was good for me Bar stool, open sign blinking I'm the only lonely one drinking

If I knew then what I know now If I knew then, you'd be here right now I'd trade the world and its gold, to have and to hold The one thing in life I love If I knew then, oh, what I know now We would never have drifted apart If I had only taken your dream and made it part of mine If I knew then, oh, what I know now If I knew then, oh, what I know now We would never have drifted apart If I had only taken your dream made it part of mine If I knew then what I know now

Kenny Rogers & Gladys Knight Well, hello girl, tell me, how have you been? By the way, I'll never make the same mistake again And you know girl, it's been a long hard time Nothing like back when you were mine. And if I knew then what I know now I'd have found the way To make things work out somehow I'd have held you tight I'd have treated you right If I knew then what I know now. It's a crazy world for a boy and a girl Harder than it is for a woman and a man Oh, it was easy then just to push you away Guess I never knew how I feel today. If we knew then what I know now I'd have found the way To make things work out somehow I'd have held you tight I'd have treated you right If I knew then what I know now. You know I do things differently If you ever come back to me If we could just go back in time There's no broken heart Girl, we're at the start this time...

They say I'm so laid back I been living life on recline Joyful is the hiker that find beauty in the climb Grateful is the artist that can navigate his mind Why would I buy a watch when I get paid for my time The feeling is divine I'm traveling cross the globe My back against the wall I'm using my frontal lobe When you got the light you could fade or you could strobe Everybody got a role you could wash or you could fold It's seems to me that niggas done got lost looking for gold Forgot about they goals too distracted by these hoes I'm no better than them They no better than me I know better than most But I'm no better than most I'm still healing from pain Still running from growth Still smoke til I'm numb Still fucking to cope Life is funny til niggas start stealing ya jokes Start stealing ya masters Then calling you broke Start taking ya credit like they the reason you on Start taking yo pub like they been writing yo songs What a shame Can't even own the rights to ya name And niggas chalk it up as just a consequence of fame I'm just talking, ventin, pardon my reach The stronger the system gets the harder it is to beat I'm not against ya deals or the chains you wear I'm not against the trauma or the pain you share I'm not against the future or the young niggas comin up Shit be so divided it be hard for me to sum it up Most the shit I hear be lacking passion and a purpose Half the shit I hear just don't even scratch the surface I don't know what it's worth so I question if it's worthless I barely hear new shit I'd wanna purchase Maybe I'm disconnected Maybe I'm washed up Maybe I'm out of touch Or maybe this shit suck I don't seek validation from my peers like before Live from the underground got they ear to the floor I don't seek validation from my peers like before Live from the underground they ear to the floor We're gonna have a good day And all my homies gonna ride today And all these mommies look fly today And all we wanna do is get by today Hey We're gonna have a good day And ain't nobody gotta cry today 'Cause ain't nobody gonna die today Save that drama for another day Hey, we're gonna have a good day

A candle burns in the Heart of the country The flame fades though I see to it sadly It takes me further away Than I have ever been I wait and the darkness comes I pray for my only one And I wonder if you ever Will see this land again We took this land And we brought it goodness It's taken everything And left only emptiness I am not broken Although I have the seeds in me I wait and the darkness comes I pray for my only one And I wonder if you ever Will see this land again I hide my face against the sun I hide my fear from everyone But I've had enough of secrets They're all lies we're scared to tell I just need someone to be with I just need to say you fell There's nothing out here But me and a whisper And now it's failing I won't even listen I watch the fall and it's Time that I was leaving too I wait and the darkness comes I pray for my only one And I wonder if you ever Will see this land again I wait and the darkness comes I pray for my only one And I wonder if you ever Will see this land again I wait and the darkness comes I pray for my only one And I wonder if you ever Will see this land again I wait and the darkness comes I pray for my only one And I wonder if you ever Will see this land again

Everyone considered him the coward of the county He'd never stood one single time to prove the county wrong His mama named him Tommy, but folks just called him yellow Something always told me they were reading Tommy wrong He was only ten years old when his daddy died in prison I looked after Tommy, 'cause he was my brother's son I still recall the final words my brother said to Tommy "Son, my life is over, but yours has just begun" "Promise me, son, not to do the things I've done Walk away from trouble if you can It won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek I hope you're old enough to understand Son, you don't have to fight to be a man" There's someone for everyone, and Tommy's love was Becky In her arms, he didn't have to prove he was a man One day while he was working, the Gatlin boys came calling They took turns at Becky, n'there was three of them Tommy opened up the door, and saw his Becky crying The torn dress, the shattered look was more than he could stand He reached above the fireplace, and took down his daddy's picture As the tears fell on his daddy's face, he heard these words again "Promise me, son, not to do the things I've done Walk away from trouble if you can Now, it won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek I hope you're old enough to understand Son, you don't have to fight to be a man" The Gatlin boys just laughed at him when he walked into the barroom One of them got up and met him halfway 'cross the floor When Tommy turned around they said, "hey look, old yeller's leaving" But you could've heard a pin drop when Tommy stopped and locked the door Twenty years of crawling was bottled up inside him He wasn't holding nothin' back, he let 'em have it all When Tommy left the barroom, not a Gatlin boy was standing He said, "this one's for Becky, as he watched the last one fall (And I heard him say) "I promised you, Dad, not to do the things you've done I walk away from trouble when I can Now please don't think I'm weak, I didn't turn the other cheek And papa, I sure hope you understand Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man" Everyone considered him the coward of the county

You feel the beating thunder rolling underground Under your feet and things are moving all around You try to reach for something just to hold your body to your brain But when it hits you, you're gonna feel no pain Feel the room shake Hear my heart break I'm in love with the sound I'm in love with the sound The love that we make We make for our sake For the sake of the sound For the sake of the sound I feel the heat and fire buring all around Out on the street I hear the pavement break and pound I want to be the one that makes your swan sing "take my soul away" Oh Hallelujah, I wanna hear you say Feel the room shake Hear my heart break I'm in love with the sound I'm in love with the sound The love that we make We make for our sake For the sake of the sound For the sake of the sound Feel the room shake Can you hear my heart break I'm in love with the sound I'm in love with the sound The love that we make We make for our sake For the sake of the sound For the sake of the sound

I've always heard people say it But I guess I never fully understood I thought that they meant you'd be easy to forget But it's drivin' me crazy Out of sight out of mind, you opened my eyes And now I can see what you mean to me I was so blind, out of sight, out of mind You know it hurt when you left me But I thought life would go on without you That was easier said, can't get you out of my head I don't know if I'll make it Out of sight out of mind, you opened my eyes And now I can see what you mean to me I was so blind, out of sight, out of mind I was so blind, out of sight, out of mind

They say home is where the heart is Why did I ever leave? Firstborn and the first to spread my wings Don't you worry about me, momma, I'm not goin' too far You're in the songs I'm playin' on the radio They keep me close to your heart When I hear the piano play, the beginnin' of the dance These tears fall down like Tennessee rain Brings you near once again Your love holds me together You're my rock and you've made me better Dear mom, you're wise and strong You're the heart of a country song Yeah, you're wild like tequila But you're holy like a prayer I swear your voice sounds like three chords in the truth When you tell me you'll always be there When I hear the piano play, the beginnin' of the dance These tears fall down like Tennessee rain Brings you near once again Your love holds me together You're my rock and you've made me better Dear mom, you're wise and strong You're the heart of a country song When I hear the piano play, the beginnin' of the dance These tears fall down like Tennessee rain Brings you near once again Your love holds me together You're my rock and you've made me better Dear mom, you're wise and strong You're the heart of a country song Yeah
