"I Left Something Turned On At Home"

"I Left Something Turned On At Home"



Well boys I hate to leave good company
But my baby just called me on the phone
And from the sound of her voice, I simply have no choice
I left something turned on at home

Well I just put a quarter in the jukebox
And it ain't halfway through my favorite song
But if I don't leave right now my whole place might burn down
'Cause I left something turned on at home

It ain't the stove, it ain't the heater
She's hotter and a whole lot sweeter
And all day long she's been there alone
Right now her arms are open, the house is probably smokin`
'Cause I left something turned on at home

Hey waitress could you cancel that order
But if its too late I'll take it to go
Boys I gotta run 'fore somebody calls 911
'Cause I left something turned on at home

It ain't the stove, it ain't the heater
She's hotter and a whole lot sweeter
And all day long she's been there alone
Right now her arms are open, the house is probably smokin`
'Cause I left something turned on at home

Right now her arms are open, the house is probably smokin`
'Cause I left something turned on at home
Yeah I left something turned on at home

"I Saw Three Ships"
(feat. The Chieftains & Alyth MacCormack)



I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day in the morning

Pray, wither sailed those ships all three
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
Pray, wither sailed those ships all three
On Christmas Day in the morning

O they sailed into Bethlehem
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
O they sailed into Bethlehem
On Christmas Day in the morning

And all the bells on earth shall ring
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
And all the souls on earth shall sing
On Christmas Day in the morning

Then let us all rejoice again
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
Then let us all rejoice again
On Christmas Day in the morning

I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day in the morning

"I Wanna Feel Something"

"I Wanna Feel Something"


If youre tellin me Im not on fire
Youre just preachin to the choir
Ive gotten dull as old barbed wire from livin
Last night I watched the evening news
It was the same ol nothin new
It should have cut me right in two
But it didnt
I dont know why it didnt

But I wanna feel somethin
Somethin thats a real somethin
That moves me, that proves to me Im still alive
I wanna heart that beats and bleeds
A heart thats bustin at the seams
I wanna care, I wanna cry, I wanna scream
I just wanna feel somethin

If youre tellin me thats just how it is
I dont buy it cause once I was kissed
By a red-headed girl with cherry lips
On her porch when I was sixteen
And I felt it somewhere in my soul and time stood still and I couldnt let go
I cant tell you cause I dont know how I got so cold
When did I get so cold

[Chorus:]
I just wanna feel somethin
Somethin thats a real somethin
That moves me, that proves to me Im still alive
Run my fingers through your fingers, across your face and through your hair
And close my eyes and breathe you in like air
I just wanna feel somethin

I hate that Im jaded and I make you cry
But still you stick around me, only God knows why
Damn it all to hell, Im done
Cause I dont like what Ive become
So come here, baby
Come here, baby

[Repeat Chorus]

Come here, baby

"I Wish It Was You"

"I Wish It Was You"


A car goes by and I see a face
A stranger's face in the window
And I wish it was you
I'm in a room, it's a crowded room
A friend walks up to say hello
And I wish it was you
'Cause every memory that haunts my mind
Is just another reason why

[Chorus:]
(I wish it was you)
The phone ring in the middle of the night
The doorbell in the broad daylight
A letter in the mail that I come home to
(I wish it was you)
When I see two people on the street
Touchin' like they don't care who sees
Laughin' the way we used to do
I wish it was me and I wish it was you
I wish it was me and I wish it was you

I'll meet someone who could be the one
But something always happens
Before the night is through
There's that certain look and that certain smile
There's that old familiar pattern
And I wish it was you
Telling me that you'll be back someday
And I don't have to feel this way

[Chorus 2X]

I wish it was you
I wish it was you

"I'd Sure Hate To Break Down Here"

"I'd Sure Hate To Break Down Here"


Mile marker 2003
The gas gauge leaning on the edge of 'E'
And i'll be danged if the rain aint pourin' down

Somethings smokin' underneath the hood
Theres a bangin' and a clangin' and it cant be good
And it's another 50 miles to the nearest town

Everything I own's in the back in a Hefty bag
Imm out of cigarettes and Im down to my last drag

[Chorus:]
I'd sure hate to break down here
Nothin' up ahead or in the rearview mirror
Out in the middle of nowhere knowin'
I'm in trouble if these wheels stop rollin'
So God help me keep me movin' somewhere
Dont let me start wishin' I was with her now

Ive made it this far without cyin' a single tear
And i'd sure hate to break down here

A hundred fifty thousand miles ago
Before the bad blood and busted radio
You said I was all you'd ever need
But love is blind and little did i know
That you were just another dead-end road
Paved with pretty lies and broken dreams
Baby, leaving you was easier than being gone
Don't know what i'll do if one more thing goes wrong

[repeat chorus twice]

Its too late to turn around
I'd sure hate to break down here
Mile marker 215

"I'm Goin' Back"

"I'm Goin' Back"




I never knew what smog was 'til I moved to LA
They say it's the City of Angels, but there ain't no Saints
If I spend one more day on this freeway I might snap
'Cause I can't take a breath and I can't see the crest of those mountains
That lie in my path

I've got to get back to the farm
Where the cars aren't alarmed
And the people are happy to see ya
Where the world's biggest stars hang above my backyard
And there's room to stretch out and relax
My truck is gassed up and I'm packed
I'm goin' back

Hey lady, what color is that you've got in your hair
Sorry dude, but that dress and high heels threw me for a second there
The fact that don't even phase me is freakin' me out
Am I gettin' used to these lunatics who can't discern between friction and fact

I've got to get back to the farm
Where the cars aren't alarmed
And the people are happy to see ya
Where the world's biggest stars hang above my backyard
And there's room to stretch out and relax
My truck is gassed up and I'm packed
I'm goin' back

Goin' on back
Windmills and dirt roads and bean fields, my kinfolk
It don't get much better than that

I've got to get back to the farm
Where the cars aren't alarmed
And the people are happy to see ya
Where the world's biggest stars hang above my backyard
And there's room to stretch out and relax
My truck is gassed up and I'm packed
I'm goin' back

Yeah, I'm goin' back
Can't wait to get back
Give me some more of that hee-haw!

"I'm Gonna Love You Anyway"

"I'm Gonna Love You Anyway"



Go ahead and tell me that you never really loved me, baby
Go ahead and tell me that the things I do have always made you crazy
Don't worry, darling
Don't worry, darling, that's okay
'Cause I'm gonna love you anyway
I'm gonna love you anyway

Go ahead and let it fall to pieces, tell me I've been blind
Maybe if I'd only seen it coming I'd have found a way to change your mind
Don't worry, darling
Don't worry, darling, that's okay
'Cause I'm gonna love you anyway
I'm gonna love you anyway

I'm gonna love you
In spite of it all
Drop everything, baby, run when you call
You're gonna stumble
You're gonna fall
And I'll be there
I'll be there for you

Go ahead and tell me that you're sorry no one else could take my place
I know that's what you're thinking I can see it by the way it's written on your face
Don't worry, darling
Don't worry, darling, that's okay
'Cause I'm gonna love you anyway
I'm gonna love you anyway
I'm gonna love you anyway

Go ahead and tell me that you never really loved me, baby

"I'm Payin' For It Now"

"I'm Payin' For It Now"



Well, I never really did anything wrong
But I guess I didn't do much right
It caught me off guard when I got home
And you weren't here tonight
Your not says I'm gonna be sorry
And that one of these days I'm gonna pay...well

You don't know what you're talking about
You think you've got it all figured out
Well I hate to be the one to break it to you
But when you said someday that
I would pay for lettin' you down
You were wrong
Cause I'm payin' for it now

Well I really didn't think I could hurt anymore
'Til you called me on the phone
You said you didn't want to talk,just had to be sure
That I didn't miss your note
Well, I think it's around here somewhere
And oh, baby, by the way

You don't know what you're talking about
You think you've got it all figured out
Well I hate to be the one to break it to you
But when you said someday that
I would pay for lettin' you down
You were wrong
Cause I'm payin' for it now

Girl when you said someday
That I would pay for lettin' you down
You were wrong
'Cause, I'm payin' for it now
Oh, I'm payin' for it now
Trust me I'm payin' for it now

"I'm Tryin'"

"I'm Tryin'"



This gettin up early, pulling double shifts,
Gonna make an old man of me long before I ever get rich.
But I'm tryin
It's been two years since we've finalized,
I still ain't used to puttin ex in front of wife.
But I'm tryin.
Send more money right away, is pretty much all she has to say when she
Calls these days and don't you be late

But all I can do, is all I can do and I keep on tryin
And all I can be is all I can be and I keep on tryin
There's always a mountain in front of me,
Seems I'm always climbin and fallin and climbin
But I keep on tryin

I remember daddy sayin keep your eye on the ball, run like hell, play to win,
Get up when you fall
I'm tryin
Don't say nothin that you can't take back
Never do anything you might regret
No don't do that
Daddy I'm tryin
Know the difference between heaven and hell
Go easy on the bottle be hard on yourself
And I know he meant well

But all I can do, is all I can do and I keep on tryin
And all I can be is all I can be and I keep on tryin
There's always a mountain in front of me,
Seems I'm always climbin and fallin and climbin
But I keep on tryin

There's always a mountain in front of me
Seems I'm always climbin and stumblin
And then fallin'
And then climbin'
But I keep on tryin'

This gettin up early pullin double shifts
Gonna make an old man of me
Long before I ever get rich
But I'm tryin'

"If I Fall (You're Goin' With Me)"

"If I Fall (You're Goin' With Me)"



I don't know what you had in mind
When you whispered those words to me
Maybe some fun, maybe someone
To be with temporarily
But if you keep making me feel this good
Whenever I'm close to you
It's only fair I make you aware
Of what you're 'bout to get into

If I fall you're goin` with me
It's a long way down
And I ain't about to go it alone
If I give all my heart
You better get ready
'Cause you're goin` with me
If I fall

Now I'm not sayin` it's all your fault
But what's a man supposed to do
Tryin` to play it safe gets harder every day
With a woman like you
Maybe you don't know what dangerous ground
That you're walkin` on now
But everytime your lips touch my lips
You're closer to finding out

Cause if I fall you're goin' with me
It's a long way down
And I ain't about to go it alone
If I give all my heart
You better get ready
'Cause you're goin` with me
If I fall

If I give all my heart
You better get ready
Girl 'cause you're goin` with me
If I fall
