Rockin' Horse:
The rocking horse came from an old oak tree
Just missed the house when it was hit by lighting
My daddy painted that horse a midnight blue
Shooting stars and silver horseshoes
And it was something magic out of something frightening
That's how I've lived my life
I take it as it comes
And I find the hidden love
When it's pouring down on me
In my mind I see the rocking horse inside the tree
A broken heart means deeper feelings
A thorn in the flesh means room for healing
Oh salt in your tears can open your eyes
Wounded years can make you realise
it's just something magic out of something frightening
That's how I've lived my life
I take it as it comes
And I find the hidden love
When it's pouring down on me
In my mind I see the rocking horse inside the tree
Things aren't always as they seem
take the nightmare from my dreams
That's how I've lived my life
I take it as it comes
And I find the hidden love
When it's pouring down on me
In my mind I see the rocking horse inside the tree

Backseat of a greyhound bus:
She wore a dress with cherries on it
going somewhere where she'd be wanted
In a town this small all they do is talk
No wedding ring, chipped fingernail polish
She always wished that she could go away to college
But some dreams fade, they just slip away
She started to show a few months ago
and she had to go, that's how she wound up
On the backseat of a greyhound bus
Head hung down with the windows up
Staring at the rest of her life
She never thought this would be the place
where she would find her saving grace
But she fell in love, she fell in love
On the backseat of a greyhound bus
The moon was full, the stars were shinin'
God has a funny sense of timin'
The baby came on the interstate,
Somewhere between Jackson and Memphis
She finally found what she'd been missin'
She cried and laughed while the red lights flashed
Sweet baby girl, she looked into the face of a new,
the face of a brand new world
On the backseat of a greyhound bus,
heart so full that it could bust,
staring at the rest of her life
She never thought that this would be the place
where she would find her saving grace
but she fell in love, she fell in love
on the backseat of a greyhound bus
Sweet baby girl, she found a brand new world
On the backseat of a greyhound bus,
heart so full that it could bust,
staring at the rest of her life
She never thought that this would be the place
where she would find her saving grace
but she fell in love, she fell in love
on the backseat of a greyhound bus
She wore a dress with cherries on it
Going somewhere where she'd be wanted

Restless:
I'm a leaf on the river fallen from the tall oak tree
Drifting down this moving stream wherever this life carries me
I'm a tumbleweed in the desert wind
Just tumblin' while the sun is shinin'
I have no boundries, call me a gypsy
I'm restless, just ramblin'
What do you do, where do you go
When nowhere feels like home
I'm restless
Am I an angel fallen from Heaven's grace
Oh it feels like that some days and I can't finid my place
I guess God made some of us to live and die by highway dust
Guess I just have to trust on the days I'm crawlin'
This is my callin'
I'm restless, just ramblin'
What do you do, where do you go
When nowhere feels like home
I'm restless
Oh to hold somebody close that cares
Oh to finally find some roots somewhere
I know someday I'll find that it's out there
Until then I'll just keep movin'
I'm restless
What do you do, where do you go
where nowhere feels like home
I'm restless,
I'm restless...

Niagara:
Standing at the edge of this cliff
Gravity being what it is
I'm afraid that I might stumble
'Cause I've never been this high
I'm so carried away by this place,
and the beauty of your face
When the walls start to crumble
And I'm helpless to fight
'Cause you can't ask the sun not to shine
And no one's ever found a way to stop time
Oh baby it's unstoppable, I can't resist at all
I would never try to slow down the wind
Baby it just has to be what it is
And asking me not to love you is like asking Niagara not to fall
I can't worry my heart with what if
Maybe I should just give in
And wrap myself around you
And let you take me down
Take me down
'Cause you can't ask the sun not to shine
And no one's ever found a way to stop time
Oh baby it's unstoppable, I can't resist at all
I would never try to slow down the wind
Baby it just has to be what it is
And asking me not to love you is like asking Niagara not to fall
No, you can't ask the sun not to shine
And no one's ever found a way to stop time
Oh baby it's unstoppable, I can't resist at all
I would never try to slow down the wind
Baby it just has to be what it is
And asking me not to love you is like asking Niagara not to fall

Perfect:
If you don't take me to Paris, on a lovers' getaway,
It's all right, It's all right
If I'd rather wear your T-Shirt than
a sexy negligee
It's all right, it's all right
Every dinner doesn't have to be candlelit
It's kinda nice to know that it doesn't have to be
Perfect,
Baby every little piece of the puzzle doesn't always perfectly
Love can be rough around the edges, tattered at the seams,
But honey if it's good enough for you, it's good enough for me
If your mother doesn't like the way I treat her baby boy,
it's all right, it's all right,
If in every wedding picture, my daddy looks annoyed,
it's all right, it's all right
Don't you know that all the fairytales tell a lie?
Real life, and real love doesn't have to be
Perfect,
Baby every little piece of the puzzle doesn't always perfectly
Love can be rough around the edges, tattered at the seams,
But honey if it's good enough for you, it's good enough for me
You don't mind if I show up late for everything
And when you lose your cool, it's kinda cute to me
Ain't it nice to know that we don't have to be
Perfect,
Baby every little piece of the puzzle doesn't always perfectly
Love can be rough around the edges, tattered at the seams,
But honey if it's good enough for you, it's good enough for me
It's good enough for me (Perfect)
Yeah, good enough for me (perfect)
Good enough for me (pefect)

Need to be next to you:
Been running from these feelings for so long
Telling my heart I didn't need you
Pretending I was better off alone
But I know that it's just a lie
So afraid to take a chance again
So afraid of what I feel inside
[Chorus]
But I need to be next to you
Oh I, oh I
I need to share every breath with you
Oh I, oh I
I need to know I can see your smile each morning
Look into your eyes each night
For the rest of my life
Here with you near with you
Oh I, I need to be next to you
Right here with you is where I belong
I'll lose my mind if I can't see you
Without you there is nothing in this life
That would make life worth living for
I can't bear the thought of you not there
I can't fight what I feel anymore
[Repeat Chorus]
Oh I, I need to be next to you
I need to have your heart next to mine
For all time
Love you for all of my life
[Repeat Chorus]

To be happy:
If I had one wish, I would wish for two,
for you and me to be happy with the way things are
sometimes are hard but we've come so far to be happy
Yeah, don't think I'm complaining
Sometimes it keeps on raining
Oh but don't be frightened by thunder and lighting
The sun comes out, and the flowers grow
And you find you're already on the road to be happy
Yeah to be happy.
If I had one prayer to pull out of thin air,
Everyone, everywhere would be happy
We'd hand out Valentines,
I'd be yours, and you'd be mine
There's a place, there's a time to be happy
Yeah, don't think I'm complaining
Sometimes it keeps on raining
Oh but don't be frightened by thunder and lighting
The sun comes out, and the flowers grow
And you find you're already on the road to be happy
Well we fuss and we fight
We can't see the light
We wake up and decide
We don't need to be right to be happy
Yeah, don't think I'm complaining
Sometimes it keeps on raining
Oh but don't be frightened by thunder and lighting
The sun comes out, and the flowers grow
And you find you're already on the road to be happy

Tonight:
If I had a weakness, you sure found it tonight,
Some hidden desperation you saw floatin' in my eyes
Moments like these baby, wrong can feel so right
And I don't wanna go home tonight
I've held it all together as long as I can
There's pieces of me fallin' right into your hands
And don't the lies come easy baby
When the truth just ain't worth the fight
No, I, I don't wanna go home tonight
So lay me down easy, hold on tight
Tell I'm the only one you see tonight
Lonely woman, lonely man
There's just some things only the lonely understands
I might just be a sinner who wants to be Saint
One justifies the reason, One understands the pain
And I don't know what's wrong baby tonight,
And I sure don't know what's right
But I don't wanna go home tonight
So lay me down easy, hold on tight
Tell me I'm only one you see tonight
Lonely woman, lonely man,
There's just some things only the lonely understands

Otis Redding:
"Otis Redding"
Fireflies are out tonight
Air is heavy and the moon is bright
I love this time of year
I talked to you this afternoon
You said you didn't have very much to do
I said I'd be here
So come on over, come on in, come on by baby
Otis Redding makes me feel good
Dancin' in the kitchen barefoot
All the windows up, just can't get enough
Headlights on my front lawn
I guess it didn't take you very long to decide
To come on over, come on in, come inside baby
Won't you come on up, come on in, come inside baby
There's just something 'bout the way
[Chorus]
The way you talk to me
You give just what I need
And when you come around my feet can't find the ground
I'm losin' myself like a drop in the rain
You twist me up like a hurricane
I can't stand up for fallin' down
So come on up, come on in, I like it when you come around
A minute ago there were a million stars
And now it's soaking wet out in my backyard
Let's take cover baby
But you just wanna run around in the rain
You make me laugh like a kid again
Loud and crazy baby
There's just something 'bout the way
[Repeat Chorus]

Feel it comin' on:
What's this your kiss
Is as cold as fallen snow
And your eyes cannot disguise
There's a secret in your soul
Well did you think that I
Was born yesterday
Well I may be blind
But I can hear what you won't say
I feel it comin'
I feel it comin' on
I feel it comin' on
This love is dead and gone
I know it won't be long
I feel it comin' on
A cold spell in hell
That's when I take you back
If you have been untrue
There's nothing left to do but pack your bags
And sleep in the bed that you made
And you'll wake up cryin'
Callin' out my name, my name
I feel it comin'
I feel it comin' on
I feel it comin' on
This love is dead and gone
I know it won't be long
I feel it comin' on
Comin' on like the morning sun
Like a summer rain
Like the river runs
Like the ocean waves
Like the stormy sea
Like the flood of tears
Wash over me
I feel it comin'
I feel it comin' on
I feel it comin' on
This love is dead and gone
I know it won't be long
I feel it comin' on

I given in:
When I look at you, I see the souls of our unborn children
If I reach for you, will you take my hand?
Are you willing?
You turn more than the music on
But will you be there by my side at the dawn?
Then I'll say
All right, I give in
I will dance with you just this one time
And all night we will turn and spin
Then stand eye to eye at the sunrise
And you offer love,
And it all begins when I say All right,
I give in
If I sang for you, would it be the sweetest sound you've ever heard?
If I prayed for you, will you know that I believe in every word?
You build me a house of stone, will you promise me I'm never gonna be alone?
Then I'll say
All right, I give in
I will dance with you just this one time
And all night we will turn and spin
Then stand eye to eye at the sunrise
And you offer love,
And it all begins when I say All right,
I give in
You turn more than the music on,
But will you be there by my side at the dawn?
Then I say
All right, I give in
I will dance with you just this one time
And all night we will turn and spin
Then stand eye to eye at the sunrise
And you offer love,
And it all begins when I say All right,
I give in

Big Cry:
Chorus
Give me a sad song that I can hold on to
Anything to set me free
Just one big cry, big tears in my eyes
To wash you away from me
I need a night all by myself
Got some things I need to work out
I got this fever that just won't break
I got some troubles I got to shake
Give me, give me
Give me a sad song that I can hold on to
Anything to set me free
Just one big cry, big tears in my eyes
To wash you away from me
I know, I know I'm gonna have to cleanse my soul
If I'm ever gonna get back on my way
One night, one night, one dark and lonely night
And then will come a brighter day
Just give me one night, one night, one dark and lonely night
And then will come a brighter day
Give me a sad song that I can hold on to
Anything to set me free
Just one big cry, big tears in my eyes
To wash you away from me

Suds in the bucket:
She was in the backyard - they say it was a little past nine
When her prince pulled up - a white pickup truck
Her folks shoulda seen it comin' - it was only just a matter of time
Plenty old enough - and you can't stop love
She stuck a note on the screen door - "sorry but I got to go"
That was all she wrote - her mama's heart was broke
That was all she wrote - so the story goes
Now her daddy's in the kitchen - starin' out the window
Scratchin' and a rackin' his brains
How could 18 years just up and walk away
Our little pony-tailed girl growed up to be a woman
Now she's gone in the blink of an eye
She left the suds in the bucket
And the clothes hangin' out on the line
Now don't you wonder what the preacher's gonna preach about Sunday morn
Nothin' quite like this has happened here before
Well he must have been a looker - smooth talkin' son of a gun
For such a grounded girl - to just up and run
Course you can't fence time - and you can't stop love
Now all the biddy's in the beauty shop gossip goin' non-stop
Sippin' on pink lemonade
How could 18 years just up and walk away
Our little pony-tailed girl growed up to be a woman
Now she's gone in the blink of an eye
She left the suds in the bucket
And the clothes hangin' out on the line
She's got her pretty little bare feet hangin' out the window
And they're headin' up to Vegas tonight
How could 18 years just up and walk away
Our little pony-tailed girl growed up to be a woman
Now she's gone in the blink of an eye
She left the suds in the bucket
And the clothes hangin' out on the line
