Drive To You - Jewel

Song's Lyrics >> J >> Jewel

Title: Drive To You
Album:
Artist: Jewel

Tonight I have the strangest feeling
Look for answers on a hotel ceiling
When did my heart first feel this way?
Being alone used to be just fine.
Now life without you is just passing time.

I thought I heard you call my name.
Reached for you're hand, it was in vein.
When you're here, it feels like a hole in my chest.
Get dressed, look in the mirror, say
"You're heart will never be the same."

So I drive to you tonight
I was blind, now I have sight.
I could not leave you even if I tried.
You're heart beats inside of me.
Like a star in the dark of night,
Like birds lost in flight.
The clouds in the sky are blue
I belong with you.

I've been together, but alone.
I've made love without love being shown.
I've seen sorrow in a pair of dice,
All things that came in two's made me cry
Until tonight.

So I drive to you tonight
I was blind, now I have sight.
I could not leave you even if I tried.
You're heart beats inside of me.
Like a star in the dark of night,
Like birds lost in flight.
The clouds in the sky are blue
I belong with you.

Can't stop, won't stop.
Love is all we've got
Know how much I love ya
When I put my arms around you
Can't stop, won't stop
You are all I want

So I drive to you tonight
I was blind, now I have sight.
I could not leave you even if I tried.
You're heart beats inside of me.
Like a star in the dark of night,
Like birds lost in flight.
The clouds in the sky are blue, yea
The clouds in the sky are blue
I belong with you.

Last Dance Rodeo - Jewel

Song's Lyrics >> J >> Jewel

Title: Last Dance Rodeo
Album:
Artist: Jewel

Your lungs fill up with concrete
Her voice is all you can hear
Red lips and a screwdriver
Wrapped around some mink-clad smear
And you know that she's a diamond
And it's damned you for sure (OR In this damn juke box hell)
'Cause fools gold only fools fools
In two-bit hotels.
But she's cooler than all that
She's a real high-class cat
She's queen of the last dance rodeo.

But under the gas lamp
The air is thick and velvety
Your bones filled with hunger
Your heart filled with longing
You're no longer human
You're an insatiable hole.
You wanna bury your face forever
In the navel of her soul
'Cause you know ...

All you need is a heart to call home
All you need is a heart to call home
That's all.

Light bulbs, and nylons
And plastic chandeliers
Objects are only objects,
They can't feel when you're near.
And tangerine lips
And lily-white breasts
These things are eternal
Inside them humanity rests.
The skin is like a seashell
You listen to the soul
Like an old-time radio show.

But under the gas lamp
The air is thick and velvety
Your bones filled with hunger
Your heart filled with longing

You're no longer human
You're an insatiable hole.
You wanna bury your face forever
In the navel of her soul
'Cause you know ...

All you need is a heart to call home
That's all.

But don't wander too far
On one constant star
Darkness exists, except where you are
Your feet are filled with wandering
They follow your own
'Cause everywhere you are
Feels like home.
So search all you miners
You hunters of dreams
Look in the alleyways
For what you know is not what it seems
And fame, all you maidens,
It don't exist too long
But at least look behind you
And see your own shadow's gone
Don't you know it's the last rodeo
You gotta find yourself a cowboy
Or someone to keep you
Warm when it snows.

But under the gas lamp
The air is thick and velvety
Your bones filled with hunger
Your heart filled with longing
You're no longer human
You're an insatiable hole.
You wanna bury your face forever
In the navel of her soul
'Cause you know ...

All you need is a heart to call home
All you need is a heart
All you need is a heart to call home
That's all.

Fragile Heart - Jewel

Song's Lyrics >> J >> Jewel

Title: Fragile Heart
Album:
Artist: Jewel

If u want my heart
U have 2 promise not 2 tear it apart
'Cause my heart
Has been hurt a lot
And it always seems
Love is not sweet, like in dreams
Something falls through
But I don't want that 2 happen 2 me and u

[CHORUS]

So be
Careful, warning
Fragile heart

Last Saturday
We ate dinner at your parents' place
Last Saturday, u said
How u feel will not go away
Well, all the fishes in the sea
Could not be happier than me

[CHORUS]

Only fools believe that
Nothing changes, nothing leaves
But I need 2 believe that we at least
Will have some dignity
'Cause everything changes
Nothing stays the same
But that's no excuse 2 be casual
Or 2 place the blame
U have 2 be careful with me

Stephenville, TX - Jewel

Song's Lyrics >> J >> Jewel

Title: Stephenville, TX
Album:
Artist: Jewel

Housewives trying to recapture their youth
By wearing floral print and suede
Fixing their hairdos with PC, chemical-free hairspray
Martha Stewart taught them to make on TV
I was raised a farmgirl
I'm too far from home, all alone on the road
Trying to figure out who I am now the the stardust has turned to sand
And the sand has turned to stone on the starmaking machine

I'm 25 years old
That ain't the end but it sure ain't where I began

And my daddy, he wrote songs and he broke colts
And he went back to school to get a degree
Now he teachs music to kids, he taught music to me
And this Alaskan girl was living in Stephenville, Texas
Yes, you guessed it, I moved here because I fell in love with a man
And I moved his ex-old lady's things out of the closet
The same closet I had to move my things back in
It didn't make me feel that great, as if to demonstrate
Everything's temporary given enough time
But hey, I've got nothing to lose
I'm a singer for crowds, I'm a writer of songs
Hey Mom, look, I'm an entertainer
I'm a modern day troubadour trying to find justice with six strings
Trying to make the world make sense out of me
Trying to be loved completely, trying to love honestly
Trying to find a decent high noon cup of tea
In another shitty hotel
I'm trying to listen to the leaves speak
Trying to steal secrets from fishes in the creek
Trying to figure out who I am
A singer, a pretty bad cook, maybe a good mom
What will it be?

And I'm 25 years old
That ain't the end but it sure ain't where I began

I'm trying to figure out who I am
But there's no hand to hold, no Doctor Martin Luther King
There's just syncophants
And the mindlessness on TV or in the magazines
On the latest ways to behave
So why not follow me, the blond bombshell deity?
I'll sell you neat ideas without big words
And a little bit of cleavage to help wash it all down
Hey, everybody thought Godard was a clown
And that ain't gonna be me

And I'm 25 years old
That ain't the end but it sure ain't where I began
And I'm 25 years old
That ain't the end but it sure ain't where I began
Guess that just means I'm in Texas

Where You Are - Jewel

Song's Lyrics >> J >> Jewel

Title: Where You Are
Album:
Artist: Jewel

I called you late last night
Said you didn't feel like talkin'
Had to blow off a little bit of steam
Said you were tired of feeling so up-tight

You make me so blue
Oh, I get so lost inside of you, but
I can not always find my way
To where you are

Oh, used to be so easy
Use to be so much fun
You say (yea) that was back when you belived in my love, but that

Things are not so simple now
Oh, I've turned off the lights somehow, and
In the darkness you cannot always find your way
To where I am

Please don't
Take your lights from me
'Cause of you did
I would no longer be able to see
Please, can't you see
I need, you

I am a princess and I'm locked inside this stone tower of song, and I
I'm trying to write messages on the wondow baby, God I just wanna belong

Choose me
Choose me
Pick me, take me, oh I need to believe
Oh, no one else exsits for you now, and
No one else exsists for me
Oh, you are my home, and I have
Finally found my way
To where you are

10000 Miles Away - Jewel

Song's Lyrics >> J >> Jewel

Title: 10000 Miles Away
Album:
Artist: Jewel

It's morning time, wonder where you are
wonder who you're talking to
wonder if the sun has risen where you are
it's morning time, i miss your hands on my skin
this bed's too big without you
oh god, what do i do?
I'm a thousand miles away, and I'm lying next to you.

The sun shines golden, and I feel like my car
a little run down, a little beat up, maybe just a little green
maybe it's my battery, maybe it's my starter,
maybe my heart's too weak
there's just this feeling, thought I had to get going
got too scary, got too big, got to get out of here
but now i don't know how to get home.
oh god, what do I do?
I'm a thousand miles away, and lying next to you.

Mama says take my vitamins,
daddy says "girl, don't stay out so late"
sister says "there's other fishes in the sea"
but love is not a rational thing, and my heart is beyond advice
no, love is not a rational thing
oh god, what do I do?
I'm a thousand miles away, and lying next to you.

these fields stretch out like patchwork, on my granny's quilt
she used to tell me that
"life is a series of strange and mysterious things
one minute you think you're up, the next you find you're down"
your mind says "girl, you gotta stick around"
but your heart says "I'm too weak in the knees"
oh god, what do I do?
I'm a thousand miles away, and lying next to you.

So Many Ways - Avant

Song's Lyrics >> A >> Avant

Title: So Many Ways
Album:
Artist: Avant

[Intro:]
I’m your director
Its getting deep
We don’t need to rent nothing, we’ll make our own movies
I’m your director
Its getting deep
We don’t need a videotape or a camera
To make this ghetto love scene
Whoo
I wanna welcome everybody here tonight (uh)
Its such a beautiful occasion (yes)
I wanna tell you the way I feel (you know)
This is for the ladies
I wanna take you to a place you’ve never been before (take you there)
Sit back and enjoy this ride

[Verse 1:]
Our love exploding in the air
Like the works on the 4th of July
Or like the sun how it sits upon the earth
Shine through clouds in the sky
I might never get as much air time
As a pilot would get
But I’m sure right to do things
That we both haven’t tried yet
Take a trip to the moon
Just me and you
And we’ll shine on the earth
I’ll show the world what you’re worth

[Chorus:]
Did ya like that
Tell me
Did ya like that
I just wanna, I just wanna show
So many ways I
Wanna show you what
Take our love to another level
So many ways I
Wanna go to a new paradise
Just one blink of an eye
So many ways I can
And I’ll never let you go

[Verse 2:]
Cause this
This message of love is what I’m sending to you
I love you so much there’s nothing I wouldn’t do
For you, for you
Let me be the reason you come from the floor with nothing but love (??)
Like an orphan at Christmas
Who gets a million toys
Theres no words to explain how it felt when we met
But I
I’ll try with this song and see how far I can get
It feels like Heaven
When you’re wrapped in my arms, that’s what comes over me
It feels like Heaven

[Chorus:]
I just wanna, I just wanna
So many ways I
Wanna show you what
Take our love to another level
So many ways I
Wanna go to a new paradise
Just one blink of an eye
So many ways I can
And I’ll never let you go

[Verse 3:]
Take you to a place far away from here
Go somewhere to erase your fears
And feel free about life, no worries, in your life
Take you to a place far away from here
Go somewhere to erase your fears
Grass is greener on the other side
Just sit back and enjoy this ride

[Chorus:]
So many ways I (lets go)
Wanna show you what
Take our love to another level (far away)
So many ways I (take a car ride)
Wanna go to a new paradise
Just one blink of an eye (just me and you)
So many ways I can (so many ways)
And I’ll never let you go

[Outro:]
Ain’t nothing stopping us (nothing stopping us)
Grasp this opportunity (??)
Yeah, yeah, yeah…
Yeah, yeah, yeah…
[repeat]

Song's Lyrics >> A >> Avant

Title: Exclusive
Album:
Artist: Avant

[Verse 1:]
Was like a dream when I first met
Your face and your stature
The way you carry yourself
It really turned me on
Control myself, had me in the zone
Caught staring in your eyes
Feeling like when doves cry
And that smile on your face that you had for me
To let me know you couldn’t wait to get next to me

[Chorus:]
Give you all of this (girl you know)
Nothing is better than (the way I do it)
Girl you know what it is (you know what it is)
The whips, the chips, everything is exclusive
Give you all of this (girl you know)
Nothing is better than (the way I do it)
Girl you know what it is (you know what it is)
The whips, the chips, everything is exclusive

[Verse 2:]
Paper, denim, Cris chillin (check)
Purple label, ice, glistenin
They say diamonds are a girls best friend
I can see it in your eyes that you’re down to ride
The way you move your body made me want you more
I can envision me hitting it, that’s what I’m getting that
That fire, up in here
Whoo!
Let me hit that, hit that, spit that
Wanna rush that, bust that, crush that
Oh I ain’t playing no games wanna tear it out the frame
We can start in the Range

[Chorus:]
Give you all of this (girl you know)
Nothing is better than (the way I do it)
Girl you know what it is (you know what it is)
The whips, the chips, everything is exclusive
Give you all of this (girl you know)
Nothing is better than (the way I do it)
Girl you know what it is (you know what it is)
The whips, the chips, everything is exclusive

[Rap:]
You know the kid keep something in the whip
Green rock dripping off me I’m stuntin in my fit
They give me the same thing you handcuffin them to get
Cause I’m so fly
That’s why its nothing to get lick
I’m a pride a good a hood, the pride of south side
This is a Lamborghini that’s why your mouths wide
We can lamp in the villa my hands on the strilla
And you’re bad enough to turn a jealous man to a killa
My lifestyles Cristal and chinchilla
Mansions, luxury cars and 4 wheelers
I can four weight anything except for my time
She came to give me that ass but I left with her mind
I’m on the hunt for the right one
Starting in the morning and ain’t done till the night come
Either you’re riding with me or in somebodys way
Cause all I need is a night and you gonna think about it every day

[Chorus:]
Give you all of this (girl you know)
Nothing is better than (the way I do it)
Girl you know what it is (you know what it is)
The whips, the chips, everything is exclusive
Give you all of this (girl you know)
Nothing is better than (the way I do it)
Girl you know what it is (you know what it is)
The whips, the chips, everything is exclusive

Yo

I can see the dark forming
The waters rolling in
I can feel the wind blowing
And you got me
Like putty in your hand
Its your fantasy
So I’ll answer to your command

[Hook:]
I’m letting you breathe (?)
We can do anything anywhere you like
You’re fast asleep
And I promise you girl I’m not gonna fight it
We can stay right here forever
Or we can travel the world together
I wanna relieve all your stress
Just don’t wake up yet

[Chorus:]
Your imaginations running wild (running wild)
Yes it is
And I know the way its going down (going down)
When we shut off the TV before you went to sleep
Cause I don’t need nothing interrupting me
Your imaginations running wild (running wild)
Let me take my time
And I know the way its going down (tonight you unwind)
Did you lock the bedroom door fore you went to sleep
Cause I don’t want nobody interrupting me

[Verse 2:]
Our body’s intertwined
Tonights a full moon
You got me flying high
In this hot air balloon
And you’re taking me
To places I’ve never been
Its your fantasy
And I don’t want this to end

[Hook:]
I’m letting you breathe (?)
We can do anything anywhere you like
You’re fast asleep

And I know the way its going down (going down)

When we shut off the TV before you went to sleep (hope you did)
Cause I don’t need nothing interrupting me
Your imaginations running wild (let me take over baby)
And I know the way its going down (gots things I wanna do to you)
Did you lock the bedroom door fore you went to sleep (let me)
Cause I don’t want nobody interrupting me (please let me)

I can feel someone coming to knock on the door (yes)
Won’t be long before the alarm goes off
And wake you off, cut me off while I’m still in it
You reached your peak and all I need is just one minute
But I don’t wanna rush you girl I wanna make sure you’re satisfied
Been going for hours baby and now I feel its time (?)
Don’t wake up (no)
No
Don’t wake up
Don’t wake up

You and I
Such a pair
If you would stop, stop running from whats real

Searching for love when it’s standing right here

Why would you choose to reach out your hand
All those empty promises
You should understand
That you deserve better than…

[Chorus:]
I’m the only one that really loves you baby
Why you wanna take it all away
Cause you steady chasin after Mr. Dream
I’m the only one that really loves you baby
Can’t you feel me running through your veins
Cause you steady chasin after Mr. Dream

Come over here girl
He can’t love you girl
Come over here girl
If he don’t want to love you girl

Look at you
Pulling your hair out
Losing sleep
Cause he never comes through
When I think it
But you don’t acknowledge
I read your mind
I know you’re better than you do

Why would you choose
To reach out your hands
All those empty promises
You should understand
You deserve better than…

Take you from your misery (from your misery)

Wanna dance under the sun
But you’re chasin after the wrong one

Why you wanna take it all away (no)
Cause you steady chasin after Mr. Dream (no, no)

Album:
Artist: Avant

I know some people might not understand me
I might not go number 1 or win a grammy
But uh
I done, done the lovin, I done, done the touchin
All the kissing and hugging baby you know its nothing
Everybody know that I can oh-oh
Ladies love it when I go oh-oh

[JD:]
You trying to stop all that?

[Avant:]
No

[JD:]
Well brother please can you make me understand what you’re sayin

[Avant:]
Listen man
Troubles of the world today
Its got me heated
Every word I’m about to say
I feel is needed
So let me talk about the things that’s goin on (going on)
The war is over but the troops ain’t home
I see the bullies flying, see the people dying
See the babies crying
Whats the reason

[JD:]
So who you supposed to be Public Enemy #1
Now next thing I know you’re gonna be trying to tell me to put my guns down

[Avant:]
I’m trying to have a conversation with you fore you let these streets get you,
Show you a bigger picture than standing on this block

[JD:]
You wanna talk well where the -- at
Cause homie I don’t need that
Stuff you talking what I’m doin ain’t never gonna stop
You must been watching too much CNN
It’s about them dividends
The hood ain’t change I don’t know where you been
-- everybody suffering, and its way more tougher than it was
And we don’t never see nobody helping us

[Avant:]
Okay
That’s so true
I can feel your pain
I’m not here to argue
Just put you up on game
But I guess you the type I can’t tell a damn thing
Couple of dollars in your pocket and you start losing your brain
It’s a trap
Got you hustling all through the night
It’s a trap
They takin pictures in broad daylight
Don’t let the system trick you into nothing else
Please
Be a man and stand for yourself
If you not rich by now you probably never get it
How can I get this -- to listen to what I’m sayin to him
Don’t be a fool with that ‘I don’t give a damn’ attitude
Cause I know you got someone at home that you in love with

[Avant:]
I’m trying to have a conversation with you fore you let these streets get you,
Show you a bigger picture than standing on this block

[JD:]
You wanna talk well where the -- at
Cause homie I don’t need that
Stuff you talking what I’m doin ain’t never gonna stop

[Avant:]
Please listen
Hear me when I say don’t
Let this system knock you
Lock your ass away cause
You got things to live for, your family and your children
Don’t want to lose the life that you’ve been living

[JD:]
Stuff you talking what I’m doin ain’t never gonna stop

[Avant:]
Please listen (please listen)
Hear me when I say don’t (I got some serious words for you my brothers)
Let this system knock you (90% of us on lockdown)
Lock your ass away cause (and we don’t need another)
You got things to live for, your family and your children
(oh, so many brothers doing life can’t see their kids, I’m so sincere)
Don’t want to lose the life that you’ve been living (I’m so sincere)
So sincere…

Cut!

Almost - Bowling For Soup

Song's Lyrics >> B >> Bowling For Soup

Title: Almost
Album:
Artist: Bowling For Soup

I almost got drunk at school at 14
Where I almost made out with the homecoming queen
Who almost went on to be miss texas
But lost to a slut with much bigger breastes
I almost dropped out to move to LA
Where I was almost famous for almost a day

And I almost had you
But I guess that doesn't cut it
Almost loved you
I almost wished u would've loved me too

I almost held up a grocery store
Where I almost did 5 years and then 7 more
Cuz I almost got popped for a fight with a thug
Cuz he almost made off with a bunch of the drugs
That I almost got hooked on cuz you ran away
And I wish I woulda had the nerve to ask you to stay

And I almost had you
But I guess that doesn't cut it
Almost had you
And I didn't even know it

You kept me guessing and now I'm destined
to spend my time missing you
I almost wish you would've loved me too

Here I go thinking about all the things I could've done
I'm gonna need a forklift cuz all the baggage weighs a ton
I know we had our problems I can't remember one

I almost forgot to say something else
And if I cant fit it in I'll keep it all to myself
I almost wrote a song about you today
But I tore it all up and then I threw it away

And I almost had you
But I guess that doesn't cut it
Almost had you
And I didn't even know it

You kept me guessing and now I'm destined
to spend my time missing you
And I almost had you [x3]

I almost wish you would've loved me too

Trucker Hat - Bowling For Soup

Song's Lyrics >> B >> Bowling For Soup

Title: Trucker Hat
Album:
Artist: Bowling For Soup

This is the song that reminds me of my trucker hat
That I used to wear not to block out the sun
With a john deere logo and a stain on the back
From where you laid me out flat one look I was done

And all these things mean nothing to me
When I’m with you I’ve got everything
I could want and I could need
Even God he would agree
You and I were meant to be
It’s easy to see

I’ll never go out of style on you
And nothing really feels the way you do
Nothing in the world could ever make me look as good
When you fit me like you do

This is the verse about the Parachute pants
That I learned to break dance in and thought I was good
So much for believing the fat guy doesn’t win
get the girl in the end I never thought that I could

And all these things mean nothing to me
When I’m with you I’ve got everything
I could want and I could need
Even God he would agree
You and I were meant to be
It’s easy to see

I’ll never go out of style on you
And nothing really feels the way you do
Nothing in the world could ever make me look as good
When you fit me like you do

I’m not the perfect guy
a little slow but I’ve
Got perfect timing with you
Got perfect timing with you
Take a look around
Outside the in crowd
There aint nothing we cant do

[3X]
I’ll never go out of style on you
And nothing really feels the way you do
Nothing in the world could ever make me look as good
When you fit me like you do

1985 - Bowling For Soup

Song's Lyrics >> B >> Bowling For Soup

Title: 1985
Album:
Artist: Bowling For Soup

Woohoohoo
Woohoohoo

Debbie just hit the wall
She never had it all
One Prozac a day
Husbands a CPA
Her dreams went out the door
When she turned twenty four
Only been with one man
What happen to her plan?

She was gonna be an actress
She was gonna be a star
She was gonna shake her ass
On the hood of white snake’s car
Her yellow SUV is now the enemy
Looks at her average life
And nothing has been alright since

Stacy, Madonna
Way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie
And music still on MTV
Her two kids in high school
They tell her that she’s uncool
Cuz she's still preoccupied
With 19, 19, 1985

Woohoohoo
(1985)
Woohoohoo

She’s seen all the classics
She knows every line
Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink
Even Saint Elmo’s Fire
She rocked out to wham
Not a big Limp Bizkit fan
Thought she’d get a hand
On a member of Duran Duran

Where’s the mini-skirt made of snake skin
And who’s the other guy that's singing in Van Halen
When did reality become T.V.
What ever happen to sitcoms, game shows
(on the radio was)

Bruce Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie
And music still on MTV
Her two kids in high school
They tell her that she’s uncool
Cuz she's still preoccupied
With 19, 19, 1985

Woohoohoo

She hates time make it stop
When did Motley Crue become classic rock?
And when did Ozzy become an actor?
Please make this stop
Stop!
And bring back

Bruce Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie
And music still on MTV
Her two kids in high school
They tell her that she’s uncool
Cuz she's still preoccupied
With 1985

Woohoohoo

Bruce Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie
And music still on MTV (woohoohoo)
Her two kids in high school
They tell her that she’s uncool
Cuz she's still preoccupied
With 19, 19, 1985

Get Happy - Bowling For Soup

Song's Lyrics >> B >> Bowling For Soup

Title: Get Happy
Album:
Artist: Bowling For Soup

She packed her shit and she left for the city
On the 8:10 train and I still can't believe it
Man, I don't even know how we could let this happen
She slammed the door and she gave me the finger
And we fell so fast I still can't remember
You can read it yourself, it's all in the letter
Man, I don't even know how we could let this happen

Maybe you're right
we've had a good time
I'll sit around, you get yourself a new life
Go get your spot, go find your smile and get happy

Heard your back did you find what was missing?
Was it just that easy or were you mistaken
Man, I don't even know how we could let this happen
I don't even know how we could let this happen

Maybe you're right
We've had a good time
I'll sit around you get yourself a new life
Go get your spot, go find your smile
And just let it shine tonight wherever you are
I hope there's a spot (hope there's a spot)
Save me a smile
And get happy, yeah
Happy, yeah
Happy, yeah

Maybe you're right
We've had a good time
I'll sit around you get yourself a new life
Go get your spot, go find your smile
And just let it shine tonight wherever you are
I hope there's a spot (hope there's a spot)
And save me a smile
And get happy
Get happy, yeah
Get happy, yeah

Packed her shit and she left me (find your smile)
Slammed the door and she gave me (find your smile)
Guess she's back in the city (find your smile)
Man, I just hope you're happy

Ohio (Come Back To Texas) - Bowling For Soup

Song's Lyrics >> B >> Bowling For Soup

Title: Ohio (Come Back To Texas)
Album:
Artist: Bowling For Soup

She said she needed a break
A little time to think
But then she went to Cleveland
With some guy named Leelan
That she met at the bank

There's nothing wrong with Ohio
Except the snow and the rain
I really like Drew Carey
And I'd love to see the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame

So when your done doing whatever
And when your thru doing whoever
You know Denton County will be right here waiting for you....

Come back to Texas
Its just not the same since you went away
Before you lose your accent
And forget all about the Lonestar State
There's a seat for you at the rodeo
And I've got every slow dance saved
Besides the Mexican food sux north of here anyway

I think I made a mistake
Its not that easy to take
She went to make a deposit
Then she cleaned out her closet
Guess I'll sit here and wait

For her to come back home (I'd wish you come back home)
It shouldn't take very long (so long so long)
I bet she misses the sunrise
And Mrs. Baird's fruit pies but I could be wrong

So when your done doing whatever
And when your thru doing whoever
You know Denton County will be right here waiting for you....

Come back to Texas
Its just not the same since you went away
I bet you missed your exit
And drove right on thru the Lone Star State
There's a seat for you at the rodeo
And I've got every slow dance saved
Besides the Mexican food sux north of here anyway

Troy Aikmen wants you back
Willie Nelson wants you back
NASA wants you back
And the Bush twins want you back
And Pantera wants you back
And Blue Bell wants you back

I got a premonition
I'm taking a petition
And the whole state's gonna sign

Come back to Texas
Its just not the same since you went away
Before you lose your accent
And forget all about the Lone Star State
There's a seat for you at the rodeo
And I've got every slow dance saved

Come back to Texas
Its just not the same since you went away
Before you lose your accent
And forget all about the Lone Star State
There's a seat for you at the rodeo
And I've got every slow dance saved
Besides the Mexican food sux north of here anyway
Besides the Mexican food sux north of here anyway
Besides the Mexican food sux north of here anyway

Ridiculous (Looking Up) - Bowling For Soup

Song's Lyrics >> B >> Bowling For Soup

Title: Ridiculous (Looking Up)
Album:
Artist: Bowling For Soup

Try not to talk when there's nothing to say.
Kept bottled up, we get carried away.
Then I fall, then I fall down.
Then we fall down.

And you know that it makes me feel so ridiculous.
A pocket full of posies..

We fall down on the inside; pretty on the outside.
Turn it around, can we turn it around?
Try to make a comeback with nowhere to start from now.
But it's looking up.

A second chance, a much better day.
A sunset that just won't go away.
Then I fall, then I fall down.
We all fall down.

And you know that it makes me feel so ridiculous.
A pocket full of posies..

We fall down on the inside; pretty on the outside.
Turn it around, can we turn it around?
Try to make a comeback with nowhere to start from now.
But it's looking up.

And you know you said you'd never end up this way.
Close the door behind you, i just wanna stay for a while.
We all fall down, we all fall down, we all fall..

Down on the inside; pretty on the outside.
Turn it around, can we turn it around?
Try to make a comeback with nowhere to start from now.
But it's looking up.

Down on the inside; pretty on the outside.
Turn it around, can we turn it around?
Try to make a comeback with nowhere to start from now.
But it's looking up.
