There's a closet full of dresses that I bought you
And here's the keys to the new car in the drive
And before you leave our room
Put on your best perf...

This highway of heartache is rocky and rough
Lord, I learned a long time ago
You can't build a fire from the ashes of love
Roses don't bloom in the sn...

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the empty s...

Is it raining at your house
Like it's raining at mine
Do you miss me like I miss you
Is it cloudy all the time?
Do you tremble when the phone rings
An...

Don't you think you should have called? 
To tell me you were coming down 
Oh you look so out of place on this troubled side of town 
Its a place where...

You said sit down here and listen
There is something that I need to say to you
Something here is missing
Just maybe you can tell me what to do

I felt...

You've got everything I'll ever need in a woman
And you know just how to make me feel like a man
So let's put our hearts together
Let nothin' come bet...

As a boy I believed it was best just to leave
With a shirt on my back and my heart on my sleeve
It was time I was out on my own
So I left you and I le...

Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music
Is the only kind of life you'll ever understand
Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music
You'll never...

You taught me how to love you now you expect me to forget you
After all the promises we made
So I tell my heart it's over this hurt can't last forever...

I can see every time I look into your eyes
You don't care a thing about those other guys
Without words you make me understand what's on your mind
The ...

It’s over this time, it’s the end of the line
And when you awake I’ll be gone
It’s plain now to see, there’s no room for me
In a heart that’s made of ...

As I travel through this pilgrim land
There is a friend, who walks with me
Leads me safely through the sinking sand
It is the Christ of Calvary
This w...

There's no telling how many hearts you caused to break
And if the truth was known you've caused a tear in every state
Oh but I don't worry about it 'c...

I've heard that word before
I've seen it carved on wooden doors down dark hallways
So common and so often heard
That could give someone like me the ne...

It’s late, and I sure do hate to bother you
But I know you’re the only one
Who knows what I’ve been goin’ through
It’s her, keepin’ me up all night ag...

You said sit down here and listen
There is something that I need to say to you
Something here is missing
Just maybe you can tell me what to do

I felt...

My life on the road has always been hard on me and you
And every time we say goodbye, it gets harder to do
But when I'm far away somewhere alone and t...

Seems like everybody’s slipping around with someone else
But we ain’t worried about no one but us
There’s a whole lot of cheating going on when you go...

I watched her pack her worn out suitcase
Like so many times before
Her voice still echoes down the hallway
I won’t be coming back no more
Five nights ...

"I can see every time I look into your eyes
 You don't care a thing about those other guys
 Without words you make me understand what's on your mind

Time is sure passin' slow
Lord, it's only half past ten
One too many times tonight
You just crossed my mind again

I just can't help but wonder
Why we...

True love's been a stranger to my heart
Always meant for someone else
I'd put away my dreams I have
Forever gather dust up on the shelf


But tonight ...

Like the sun that shine's through our window
Like the river that run's through our town
The only way that I can get close enough to you
Is to hold you...

Well I was really feeling down
I'd really been uptight
About to lose my mind
When I came in here tonight
Things have turned around
Since they turned t...

You ran cryin to the bedroom
I ran off to the bar
Another piece of heaven gone to hell
Just tore my world apart
And I sat there feelin sorry for mysel...

There's no telling how many hearts you caused to break
And if the truth was known you've caused a tear in every state
Oh but I don't worry about it 'c...
