"I Saw God Today"

"I Saw God Today"


[VERSE 1:]
Just walked down the street to the coffee shop,
Had to take a break,
I've been by her side for eighteen hours straight,
saw a flower growing in the middle of the sidewalk,
pushing up through the concrete,
Like it was planted right there for me to see,

The flashing lights,
The honking horns,
All seem to fade away,
but in the shadow of the hospital,
at 508,
I saw God today,

[CHORUS:]
I've been to church,
I've read the book,
I know He's there,
But I don't look,
near as often as I should,

His fingerprints are everywhere,
I just look down and stop and stare,
open my eyes and then I swear,
I Saw God Today,

[VERSE 2:]
Saw a couple walking by,
they were holding hands,
and she had that glow,
Ya, I couldn't help,
but I noticed that she was starting to show,
stood there for a minute,
taking in the sky,
lost in that sunset,
a splashing down from mounting in shades of red,

[CHORUS:]
I've been to church,
I've read the book,
I know He's there,
but I don't look,
near as often as I should,

His fingerprints are everywhere,
I just look down and stop and stare,
open my eye and then I swear,
I Saw God Today,

[VERSE 3:]
Got my face pushed up against the nursery glass,
she's sleeping like a rock,
my name on her wrist,
wearing tiny pink socks,
she's got my nose,
she's got her Mama's eyes,
my bran new baby girl,
she's a miracle,
I Saw God Today

"I Should Have Watched That First Step"

"I Should Have Watched That First Step"


I once had a love, a true and lasting love,
But the fool in me came out one night.
And with her loving eyes
She saw right through my eyes,
And she changed the night
I stepped across the line.

I should have watched that first step
It was a mighty big step
When I started steppin' out of line.
Though she's still lovin' me
It's not the way it used to be.
That first step did something to her mind.

I watched her slip away
A little more every day
And my conscience couldn't live
With all that pain.
She's growing colder since the day I told her
And the love we had will never be the same.

I should have watched that first step
It was a mighty big step
When I started steppin' out of line.
Though she's still lovin' me
It's not the way it used to be
That first step did something to her mind
That first step did something to her mind.

"I Thought I Heard My Heart Sing"

"I Thought I Heard My Heart Sing"


[Chorus:]
Well, I Do what my heart says do
And Right now it's pointing at you
Hey girl, you're tugging' on my heart strings
Well, I've seen everything
I thought I heard my heart sing

I went home flying high
I met the girl of my dreams tonight
A wild fire, screaming' inside
I know it's real 'cause my heart don't lie

[Repeat Chorus]

Well, here I am knocking on your door
This old hound wants to talk a little more
The T.V.A. and the hoover dam
Don't turn me on like holding your hand

[Repeat Chorus x2]

Well, I've seen everything
I thought I heard my heart sing
Well, I've seen everything
I thought I heard my heart sing
Heart sing

"I Wasn't Fooling Around"

"I Wasn't Fooling Around"


I wasn't fooling around, everything's true what I say.
So take me seriously, darlin, please just take me.
I wasn't fooling around.

[Chorus:]
Laugh if you want to, but I wasn't joking
About this love that's real.
Is it surprising I'm romanticizing about the way I feel.

I wasn't playing a game, I'm not a kid anymore.
I'm not the clown that's just here to amuse you.
I wasn't fooling around.

[Chorus]

I wasn't fooling around, it wasn't like that at all.
So take me seriously, darlin' please just take me.
I wasn't fooling around, I wasn't fooling around.

"I'd Just As Soon Go"

"I'd Just As Soon Go"


You say you want to talk it over
Want to try again
But there's no way of workin' out
This love that we're not in

We could talk and talk and accomplish nothin'
We've tried it all before
It's time somebody did some walkin'
And I can see the door

So I'd just as soon go
I'd just as soon say goodbye
There's no reason to prolong
What we should just let die

And I'd just as soon stop
I'd just as soon end the madness
Knowin' what I know
I'd just as soon go

It's not an easy thing to do
Leavin' seldom ever is
But stayin' just to see us through
Just ain't no way to live

It's hard for you to understand
But we're better off this way
I can't fake it one more night
Or take it one more day

So I'd just as soon go
I'd just as soon say goodbye
There's no reason to prolong
What we should just let die

And I'd just as soon stop
I'd just as soon end the madness
Knowin' what I know
I'd just as soon go

Knowin' what I know
I'd just as soon go

"I'd Like To Have That One Back"

"I'd Like To Have That One Back"


I heard somebody speak her name; they said she still was looking fine.
And I could feel that same old flame I once felt when she was mine.
Always thought that I was missin' something, but I found out much too late.
There'll never be another who'll love me that way.

[Chorus:]
I'd like to have that one back, never known someone so true.
And a love that pure and sweet is what a man should never lose.
And if my lips had said, "I'm sorry",
She might have stopped right in her tracks.
But now I find my poor heart saying,
"I'd like to have that one back."

I can almost see her standing there, tears rollin' down her face.
As she packed away her memories in that old worn out suitcase.
If I'd only known then what I know now, I'd never opened that door.
Oh they just don't make hearts like hers anymore.

[Chorus:]
I'd like to have that one back, I've never known someone so true.
And a love so pure and sweet is what a man should never lose.
And if my lips had said, "I'm sorry",
She might have stopped right in her tracks.
I wouldn't hear my poor heart saying,
"I'd like to have that one back."

I wouldn't hear my poor heart saying,
"I'd like to have that one back."

"I'll Always Be Loving You"

"I'll Always Be Loving You"


You can turn me loose, tear me up and run me down
Cause me shame, drag my name all over town
Makes no difference what you say or what you do
As for me I'll always be lovin' you

[Chorus:]
My love for you was not built on shifting sands
I made a promise long ago and it still stands
Go on and do what your heart tells you to
As for me I'll always be lovin' you

You can change your dreams, change your heart
Or change your mind
And just pretend that it all ends with your goodbye
You can walk out and forget the love we knew
As for me I'll always be lovin' you

"I'll Always Remember You"

"I'll Always Remember You"


It all started back in 1981.
Our life together had just begun.
I didn't know what my future would hold,
But you gave me a chance,
So I set out on the road.

It wasn't easy going then.
There were times I almost threw that old towel in,
But you kept callin me back to the stage,
And I finally found my place in each and every face.

I'm not sayin I'm through by any means.
There's still things that I want to say and do.
I hope you won't forget me, cause we've shared a lot dreams.
And just know that I'll always remember you.

When I first set out on the road, I figured
I had maybe 5 good years to sing my songs for you folks.
Well, it's goin on 30 now
And I still love it just as much as I ever did.
When I hear that announcer say my name,
And I walk through those curtains
And see your smilin' faces,
My feet don't touch the ground again
Til I walk out and get back on that bus that got me here.
I don't know how many more years I've got left to do this,
But I figure a few.
I do want you to know, though,
That when I do walk off this stage for the last time,
And I'm all settled in, away from all this,
You won't be far away.
I'll still hear your screams and cheers in my mind.
And I'll always remember you.

I'm not sayin I'm through by any means.
Cause there's still things that I want to say and do.
I hope you won't forget me, cause we've shared a lot dreams.
And just know that I'll always remember you.

You've pulled me through some hard times.
Hope I've pulled you through a few.
And just know that I'll always remember you.

"I'm All Behind You Know"

"I'm All Behind You Know"


Leavin' me behind is all behind you now
It's plain to see that you're for good over me
You've gotta whole new life ahead of you
You did what you lived to do
And I'm all behind you now

And I'll be behind you always
Should you every be a yesterday
Though it tears me up
To know deep down
I'm all behind you know

You're comin' back
My way will come my way again
I'll never be what I was with you and me
And I don't know who or where your goin' to
But you did what you lived to do
And I'm all behind you now

And I'll be behind you always
Should you every be a yesterday
Though it tears me up
To know deep down
I'm all behind you know

Yeah it tears me up to know deep down
I'm all behind you know

"I'm Never Gonna Let You Go"

"I'm Never Gonna Let You Go"


Let's turn the lights down soft and low
And watch the fire embers glow
Let's lock the world outside the door
This is the night we've been waiting for

The moon is shining through the window pane
I hear the echo of a passing train
Taking someone's lover far away
But in your arms is where I wanna stay

Tonight I'm the luckiest man in the world
Wrapped in the arms of a beautiful girl
And now that I've found you
I'm never gonna let you go

Let your hair fall across your breast
Show me the warmth of your soft caress
The music's playin' soft and slow
We're driftin' into the afterglow

Tonight I'm the luckiest man in the world
Wrapped in the arms of a beautiful girl
And now that I've found you
I'm never gonna let you go

I'm never gonna let you go
I'm never gonna let you go
I'm never gonna let you go
