I'm not sayin' I have all the answers And I don't care who's right or wrong I'm tryin' to pick up the pieces already fallen And put them back where they belong So slow down your horses Stop draggin' me around And if cryin' is the only way into your heart Then leavin' is the only way out We've slammed every door in anger And we've opened wounds we can't mend And one night lonely is one night too many Don't wanna wake up to one more night that won't end So slow down your horses Stop draggin' me around And if cryin' is the only way into your heart Then leavin' is the only way out When late nights and long lies came knockin' You just invited them in And our voices got too loud for talkin' Then my heart hit the floor But your feet just kept walkin' And if cryin' is the only way you hear me hurting For the lovin' that I can't live without And if lovin' ain't the only way into your heart Then leavin' is the only way out Oh, leavin' is the only way out

Help me see the way On every road there's a turn I tried to take Hope runs this Every choice was the love I failed to mend Memory folds And the words fall short when I need them most I waste away Contemplate how to keep you here with me I haven't slept much in days My body's calloused much more than I can take I can't think straight with your eyes directed at me I hesitate but know it's the only way (Love) Somewhere between home and the interstate Somewhere between you and where I stay In a time when things just weren't so clear to me But that picture faded black and grey I haven't slept that much in days My body's calloused so much more than I can take I'm finding comfort in the worst ways Worst ways I can't think straight with your eyes directed at me I hesitate but know it's the only way I try to leave but something keeps pulling me, pulling me back I try to leave but something keeps pulling me back to you I might hesitate but I'm bound 'cause it's the only way I wander the world just to find that it's the only way I'm turning the page and it's strange but it's the only way I might hesitate but I'm bound 'cause it's the only way I might hesitate but I'm bound 'cause it's the only way

If you could look inside my life And use my eyes, would you pity me? Would you see the desperate nights And all the lies that brought me to my knees? I keep thinking that I have to make you fall The way I fell from your betrayal To bring me peace of mind I will let you move along, just walk away And wear a cape like you're some hero I can't hear love 'cause we're at war And revenge is so loud and the drums are so proud But, oh, I'm in a cage and I hear mercy say, "l'm here now" And it's the only way out I can't hear love 'cause we're at war But revenge is so loud and the drums are so proud But I'm still in a cage (I'm still in a cage) And I hear mercy say (I hear mercy say) now It's the only way out I used to hear my father say, "Counterplay ends in defeat" And I said I'd never be that way Tried to make you pay 'cause it would cost me But you owe me so much more than what you gave to this I guess every story twists People tell me let it go, oh, and forget I can't hear love 'cause we're at war And revenge is so loud and the drums are so proud But, oh, I'm in a cage and I hear mercy say, "l'm here now" And it's the only way out I can't hear love 'cause we're at war But revenge is so loud and the drums are so proud But I'm still in a cage (I'm still in a cage) And I hear mercy say (I hear mercy say) now It's the only way out Oh, oh, oh, whao Oh, oh, oh, whao Mercy's the only way out Mercy gave me my way out

The hills were alive with wildflowers And I was as wild, even wilder than they For at least I could run, they just died in the sun And I refused to just wither in place Just a wild mountain rose needing freedom to grow So I ran, fearing not where I'd go When a flower grows wild, it can always survive Wildflowers don't care where they grow And the flowers I knew, in the fields where I grew Were content to be lost in the crowd They were common and close, I had no room for growth And I wanted so much to branch out So I uprooted myself from my home ground and left Took my dreams and I took to the road When a flower grows wild, it can always survive Wildflowers don't care where they grow I grew up fast and wild and I never felt right In a garden so different from me I just never belonged, I just longed to be gone So the garden one day set me free I hitched a ride with the wind, and since he was my friend I just let him decide where we'd go When a flower grows wild, it can always survive Wildflowers don't care where they grow Just a wild rambling rose seeking misteries untold No regret for the path that I chose When a flower grows wild, it can always survive Wildflowers don't care where they grow Wildflowers don't care where they grow

Lookin' outta my windowpane Tears minglin' with the rain I'm so lonesome I could cry, just like old Hank Starin' down on the city street Feelin' empty and incomplete There's a place I need to be to fill my tank A place I can go where I can be free Where I can be happy and just be me Home Where the warm wind's blowin' And the river's flowin' along Like a lazy bum in the midday sun And I've gone fishin' with my pole at the fishin' hole Where I can lay down my heavy load And know that I am always welcome home I left home I was seventeen I had a lot of ambitious dreams Seen a lot of those dreams come true I've had good luck I ain't complain' that's for sure I got a lot to be thankful for One of those things is a magic door that opens up Back to the time when I was a kid To the sounds of the crickets and the katydids It's called Home On the front porch swingin' And the fern pots hangin' Home With the church bells ringin' And voices singin' those Old songs that mend my mind like a stitch in time Where the tea is sweet and the love complete Oh me, I wanna go home I often think about where I have been Where I am goin' and that's about when I think about Home Where the soul finds comfort and the heart finds pleasure Home Where the depths of love is hard to measure It's home I hear you callin', I hear you callin' I'll never be lost as long as I know There's place like that where I can go Where I can restore my weary soul On the mountain slopes and the soft blue smoke Of home Home sweet home Home Back to the hills with the whippoorwills of Home With the fireflies blinkin' and the night stars winkin' Home Honeysuckle vine and Muscadine wine at Home Where the ginseng grows in the shady groves of Home With family and friends and joy that never ends Home There's no place like it, no place like it Home

Here I sit, all alone Thinkin' bout what I should of known You make me think that I could need you You weaved your magic spell and I believed you Looking back, on you and me Promises that will, never be I truly thought that we were lovers, (lovers) But now I find i'm just like all the others Heartbreaker, wish I'd seen that love was blind Sweet little love maker, taking my heart and leaving me behind Heartbreaker, couldn't you be just a little more kind, to me Played with fire, felt it's burn I would have thought that I would of learned I melted every time you kissed me, (kissed me) Each time you'd leave I thought you'd miss me Heartbreaker, wish i'd seen that love was blind Sweet little love maker, taking my heart and leaving me behind Heartbreaker, couldn't you be just a little more kind to me Heartbreaker, wish i'd seen that love was blind Sweet little love maker, taking my heart and leaving me behind Heartbreaker, couldn't you be just a little more kind to me Heartbreaker, wish i'd seen that love was blind Sweet little love maker, taking my heart and leaving me behind Heartbreaker, couldn't you be just a little more kind to me
