"I'm So Happy I Can't Stop Crying"
(feat. Sting)

"I'm So Happy I Can't Stop Crying"
(feat. Sting)



Seven weeks have passed now since she left me,
She shows her face to ask me how I am
She says the kids are fine and that they miss me
Maybe I could come and baby-sit sometime

She says, "are you o.k? I was worried about you.
"Can you forgive me? I hope that you'll be happy."
I'm so happy that I can't stop crying
I'm so happy I'm laughing through my tears

I saw a friend of mine. he said, "I was worried about you
I heard she had another man, I wondered how you felt about I
I'm so happy that I can't stop crying
I'm so happy I'm laughing through my tears

Saw my lawyer, Mr. good news, he got me
Joint custody and legal separation
I'm so happy that I can't stop crying
I'm laughing through my tears,
I'm laughing through my tears

I took a walk alone last night.
I looked up at the stars
To try to find an answer in my life

I chose a star for me, I chose a star for him
I chose two stars for my kids and one star for my wife
Something made me smile.
Something seemed to ease the pain
Something about the universe and how it's all connected

The park is full of sunday fathers, and melted ice cream
We try to do the best, within the givin time
A kid should be with his mother, everybody knows that
What can a father do but baby-sit sometimes?

I saw that friend of mine, he said, "you look different somehow."
I said, "everybody's got to leave this darkness sometime."
I'm so happy that I can't stop crying,
I'm laughing through my tears,
I'm laughing through my tears
I'm so happy that I can't stop crying
I'm laughing through my tears,
I'm laughing through my tears

"I've Been A Long Time Leaving (But I'll Be A Long Time Gone)"



I've been a fool, I've been a fool
Forgivin' you each time you done me wrong
I've been a long time leavin' ya, but I'll be a long time gone

Loved you so much, loved you so much
I stayed around when I should've moved along
I've been a long time leavin' ya, but I'll be a long time gone

I say, "Hi there high line, hello highway"
Here come a big old semi my way
I stick up my thumb, hear the truck come
But the truck goes by and he looks like he's flyin'
And he whoops the big legs on my Levi's
They go woop woop woop woop woop

I've been a fool, I've been a fool
Forgivin' you each time that you've done me wrong
I've been a long time leavin' ya, but I'll be a long time gone

I say, "Hi, there high line, hello highway"
Here come a big old semi my way
I stick up my thumb, hear the truck come
But the truck goes by and he looks like he's flyin'
And he's whoopin' the big legs on my Levi's
They go woop woop woop woop woop woop woop woop

And I've been a fool, I've been a fool
Forgivin' you each time that you've done me wrong
I've been a long time leavin' ya, but I'll be a long time gone

Gone gone gone
Gone gone gone

"If A Man Answers"

"If A Man Answers"



You said you need a little time
A little time to yourself
I'm staring down this telephone wonderin'
There might be someone else

If a man answers when I call
I'll just hang up I won't say anything at all
If a man answers I know what I'll do
I'll lie here awake so I don't dream about you
If a man answers this time of night
At least I'll know somebody's holding you tight
If a man answers I won't call again
And I'll know where I stand while I twist in the wind

Oh baby I'm just missin' you
I'm crazy still in love with you
I know my heart will break in two
If a man answers, if a man answers

I just gotta tell you girl
Maybe somehow make you see
How much I want you to come back to me
But if a man answers you'll never know
He'll let you sleep while I let you go

Oh baby I'm just missin' you
I'm crazy still in love with you
I know my heart will break in two
If a man answers, if a man answers

If a man answers you'll never know
If a man answers I'll let you go
If a man answers this time of night
If a man answers he's holding you tight

If a man answers, if a man answers
If a man answers, if a man answers
If a man answers, oh if a man answers
If a man answers, if a man answers

"If I Had One"

"If I Had One"



Jackknife, brake at the traffic stop
Interstate lookin' like a parkin' lot
Fat boy flying on a Fat Boy bike
Weavin' in and out and passin' me by

I honked my horn and shot the bird at that crazy SOB
Yeah, but deep down, I was wishin' it was me

But if I had one, I'd have to say
I'd probably do the same dang thing
Pull her to the shoulder and let that steel horse run
I'd be hell on wheels if I had one

Called my brother said, "How you've been?
We ain't been fishin' since I don't know when"
He said, "This graveyard shift's a graveyard grind
I got more bills than I got time"

I'd love to weigh the line but my wife just stay on my case
I said "I guess I know who wears the pants around your place"

But if I had one, I'd have to say
I'd probably do the same dang thing
Stay at home holdin' my baby when the workday is done
Yeah, I'd try to keep her happy if I had one

Sittin' on a bar stool talkin' to a lady
She's runnin' my tab up, callin' me baby
Buy her a drink she'll let you chase her
And watch her shake her money maker

Boy if I had one I'd have to say
I'd probably shake it the same damn way
Hike it up high 'cause I could get it, son
I'd never buy another beer if I had one
You know things would be different if I had one

That's what I'd do if I had one of those
I'd do it just like that, right there
Things would be different if I had one, too
But I don't, but if I had one, yeah buddy, ooh buddy

"If I Was Jesus"

"If I Was Jesus"



If I Was Jesus, I'd have some real long hair
A robe and some sandals, is exactly what I'd wear
I'd be the guy at the party, turnin' water to wine
Yeah me and my disciples, we'd have a real good time.

Ooh and I'd lay my life down for you (woooooh)
And I show you who's the boss (woooooh)
I'd forgive you and adore you
While I was hangin' on your cross
If I Was Jesus.

I'd have some friends that were poor
I'd run around with the wrong crowd, man I'd never be bored
Then I'd heal me a blind man, get myself crucified
By politicians and preachers, who got somethin' to hide.

Ooh and I'd lay my life down for you (woooooh)
And I show you who's the boss (woooooh)
I'd forgive you and adore you
While I was hangin' on your cross
If I Was Jesus.

If I Was Jesus, I'd come back from the dead
And I'd walk on some water, just to mess with your head
I know your dark little secrets, I'd look you right in the face
And I'd tell you I love you, with Amazing Grace.

Ooh and I'd lay my life down for you (woooooh)
And I show you who's the boss (woooooh)
I'd forgive you and adore you
While I was hangin' on your cross
If I Was Jesus.

If I Was Jesus.

"If You're Tryin' You Ain't"

"If You're Tryin' You Ain't"



Yeah, you can try to love your woman, try to love your friends
Try to love your neighbor, you can try it again
Try to go to church, try to live your life
Probably still be tryin' on the day that you die

Well, if you're tryin' you ain't tryin', there's work to do, son
You can't get up early, baby, you can't get it done
Roll up your sleeves, don't tell me that you can't
Make something, something, if you're tryin' you ain't

Try something old, try something new
Try it when no one else is even watchin' but you
Try just a little, try it too much
Try an over do it and it still ain't enough

And if you're tryin' you ain't, there's work to do son
You can't get up early, baby, you can't get it done
Roll up your sleeves, don't tell me that you can't
Make something, something, if you're tryin' you ain't

Tryin', tryin' you ain't
Tryin', tryin'

Well, if you're tryin' you ain't, there's work to do son
You can't get up early, baby, you can't get it done
Roll up your sleeves, don't tell me that you can't
Make something, something, if you're tryin' you ain't

And if you're tryin' you ain't, there's work to do son
You can't get up early, baby, you can't get it done
Roll up your sleeves, don't tell me that you can't
Make something, something, if you're tryin' you ain't

Tryin', tryin'
Tryin' you ain't
Tryin still tryin
Tryin' you ain't

Tryin', tryin'
Tryin' you ain't

"In A Couple Of Days"

"In A Couple Of Days"



Two weeks notice would've been real nice
I could've put this broken heart on ice
Barely full of whiskey, all laid up in bed
Given up on what lies ahead

Could've quit my job and let my beard grow out
Another sad old story that you hear about
But I got nothin' from you
Came without a warning at all

It was hot and dry when you told me goodbye
Now isn't that a hell of a deal?
Right out of the blue, you broke it in two
Now you wanna know how I feel

Why don't you come around when the swellin' goes down?
Right now I'm doin' okay
Hit me back
I should know something in a couple of days

It ain't soakin' you but I know that old pain
It will come like the storm once it starts to rain
Right now the sky is just a couple of clouds
It's gonna be hell once the bottom falls out

I might head for shelter, I might run and hide
I might take my chances standin' outside
It's too early to tell
Hell, you just left me today

It was hot and dry when you told me goodbye
Now isn't that a hell of a deal?
Right out of the blue, you broke it in two
And now you wanna know how I feel

Why don't you come around when the swellin' goes down?
Right now I'm doin' okay
Hit me back
I should know something in a couple of days

Why don't you come around when the swellin' goes down?
Right now I'm doin' okay
Hit me back
I should know something in a couple of days

Girl, hit me back
I should know something in a couple of days

"In Other Words"

"In Other Words"



You've got my heart in unfamiliar territory
It's never been out here on my sleeve
But here tonight with you it's quite a different story
You bring out a side of me no one has ever seen

There's something I'm afraid to say to you too early
But I'd be a fool to wait too late
My mind is cautious but my heart is in a hurry
Which one's right, it's really hard to say

In other words
I can't put "I love you" in other words
When I look into your eyes
No other words can capture what I'm feeling
My heart tells my head some things can't be said
In other words
Better men than I have tried to find a better phrase
Still "I love you" has a ring I've never heard
In other words

What we've got here is a touching situation
You smile as if you've read my mind
A pair of "I love you's" gently ends this conversation
'Cause matters of the heart can't be defined

In other words
I can't put "I love you" in other words
When I look into your eyes
No other words can capture what I'm feeling
My heart tells my head some things can't be said
In other words
Better men than I have tried to find a better phrase
Still "I love you" has a ring I've never heard
In other words

"Is That All You Got"

"Is That All You Got"



This old heart didn't die
It's been broke by the best
But I made it out alive
When you laid our love to rest

Baby, it burned, that corner got turned
And I'm doin' well these days
I've got some stones so, girl, bring it on
What do you expect me to say?

Is that all you got, is that all there is?
All you can hit me with?
Still standin' tall after the fall
Girl, is that all you've got to do?

Sit around
Tryin' to bring a cloud of rain my way
See I found out
I can just sleep in on a stormy day

That sun's gonna shine and given the time
It'll be clear again
Out of the hole, back in control
And I took it square on the chin

Is that all you got, is that all there is?
All you can hit me with?
Still standin' tall after the fall
Girl, is that all you've got to give?

Is that all you got, is that all there is?
All you can hit me with?
Still standin' tall after the fall
Girl, is that all you've got to give?

Is that all you got?
Is that all there is?
Is that all you got?
Is that all there is?

"It Works For Me"

"It Works For Me"


Never owned a brand new car
Never worked in a white collar
Never held a woman longer
Than I held one single dollar
I never went out chasin’ rainbows
‘Cause there can’t be that much to it
Even if I found my pot of gold
I know I’d piss right through it

I can’t remember ever wanting
For one second of my life
Even if I did it cost too much
To ever pay the price
I don’t dance out on the dark side
Ain’t no secrets I have to tell
So you don’t have to say a prayer for me
I just said one for myself

[Chorus:]
I’m livin’ my life
Under my terms
I’m callin’ the shots
As far as I can see
I don’t owe nobody nothin’
I don’t answer to a soul
Might not work for you
But it works for me

I’ve been bent and bruised and broken
And flat busted once or twice
I brought most of it upon myself
But I never compromised
My pride’s too hard to swallow
So I’ve chewed a lot of it
Mild-mannered and soft-hearted
And hard-headed as you get
I live out on the backroads
Where I walk my country mile
And if it’s so good in the city
Why don’t anybody smile?
The traffic’s always heavy
And the air ain’t fit to breathe
I ain’t saying that it’s wrong for you
It just don’t make sense to me

[Chorus]
