Lyrics

• These Days

  Hey baby, is that you
  Wow, your hair got so long
  Yeah, yeah I love it, I really do
  “Norma Jean,” ain’t that the song we’d sing
  In the car driving downtown
  Top down, making the rounds
  Checking out the bands on Doheny Avenue

  Yeah, life throws you curves
  But you learned to swerve
  Me, I swung and I missed
  And the next thing you know, I’m reminiscing
  Dreaming old dreams
  Wishing old wishes
  Like you would be back again

  Chorus
  I wake up in teardrops that fall down like rain
  I put on that old song we danced to and then
  I head off to my job, guess not much has changed
  Punch the clock, head for home, check the phone just in case
  Go to bed, dream of you
  That’s what I’m doing these days
  Yeah, that’s what I’m doing

  Someone told me after college
  You ran off to Vegas
  You married a rodeo cowboy
  Wow, that ain’t the girl I knew
  Me, I’ve been a few places
  Mostly here and there once or twice
  Still sorting out life but I’m doing alright
  Yeah, it’s good to see you too

  Well hey girl you’re late
  And those planes, they don’t wait
  But if you ever come back around
  This sleepy old town
  Promise me you’ll stop in
  To see an old friend
  And until then

  (Repeat Chorus Twice)

  I wake up in teardrops that fall down like rain
  I put on that old song we danced to and then
  I wake up in teardrops that fall down like rain
  I put on that old song we danced to and then
  I wake up in teardrops that fall down like rain
  I put on that old song we danced to and then

• Too Good Is True

  I guess it’s cause and effect
  Your heart and mine
  The way that we connect
  Keeps blowing my mind
  There you go again, it never ends
  What you do to me

  Chorus
  That I have seen the light of day
  Love is finally going my way
  Is it too good to be true
  Give me one more kiss, one more touch
  Baby, I just can’t get enough of you
  This time, too good is true

  All of a sudden
  I’m not who I used to be
  I had my heart locked
  But you held the key
  And you find a way, everyday
  To show me even more

  (Repeat Chorus)

  Bridge
  Some people say we’re too good to be true
  But they don’t get to be loved by you

  (Repeat Chorus)

  Oh this time, too good is true
  Yes it is, yeah

• I Melt

  When you light those candles
  Up there on that mantle, setting the mood
  Well, I just lie there staring
  Silently preparing to love on you
  Well, I can feel the heat from across the room
  Ain’t it wild what a little flame can make you wanna do

  Chorus
  I melt every time you look at me that way
  It never fails, anytime, any place
  This burn in me is the coolest thing I’ve ever felt
  I melt

  Don’t know how you do it
  I love the way I lose it, every time
  What’s even better
  Is knowing that forever you’re all mine
  The closer you get, the more my body aches
  One little stare from you is all it takes

  (Repeat Chorus Twice)

  Every time you look at me that way
  I melt, I melt

• Mayberry

  Sometimes it feels like this world is spinning faster
  Than it did in the old days
  So naturally, we have more natural disasters
  From the strain of a fast pace
  Sunday was a day of rest
  Now, it’s one more day for progress
  And we can’t slow down ‘cause more is best
  It’s all an endless process

  Chorus
  (Well) I miss Mayberry
  Sitting on the porch drinking ice-cold cherry Coke
  Where everything is black and white
  Picking on a six string
  Where people pass by and you call them by their first name
  Watching the clouds roll by
  Bye, bye

  Sometimes I can hear this old earth shouting
  Through the trees as the wind blows
  That’s when I climb up here on this mountain
  To look through God’s window
  Now I can’t fly
  But I got two feet that get me high up here
  Above the noise and city streets
  My worries disappear

  (Repeat Chorus)

  Bridge
  Sometimes I dream I’m driving down an old dirt road
  Not even listed on a map
  I pass a dad and son carrying a fishing pole
  But I always wake up every time I try to turn back

  (Repeat Chorus)

  Bye, bye
  (I miss Mayberry, I miss Mayberry)

• Love You Out Loud

  I have always been a little shy
  I’ve always been the quiet type till now
  And I never let my feelings show
  I never let anybody know
  Just how much I was so deep in love
  But now that you’re in my arms

  Chorus
  I’m gonna stand on a rooftop, climb up a mountaintop
  Baby, scream and shout
  I wanna sing it on the radio, show it on a video
  Baby, leave no doubt
  I want the whole world to know just what I’m all about
  I love to love you out loud

  You keep bringing out the free in me
  What you do to my heart just makes me melt
  And I don’t think I can resist
  But I’ve never been one to kiss and tell
  A love this true can’t be subdued
  So I’m gonna let out a yell

  (Repeat Chorus)

  Bridge
  Baby, I want the whole world to see
  Just how good your love looks on me

  (Repeat Chorus)

  Baby, I love to love you out loud
  Yeah, I love to love you out loud

• Dry Country Girl

  A tall drink of water in a cotton dress
  That preacher’s daughter, she sure is blessed
  As sunlight passes through the fabric so soft
  You can imagine what goes through my thoughts
  She says there`ll be time for all of that
  When my dress is white and your suit is black

  Chorus
  There`s so many fish in the sea
  And I know it’s a great big world
  But I couldn’t help but fall in love so hard
  For my dry county girl
  For my dry county girl, yeah

  It’s widely known that I have my flaws
  While she’s the Joan of Arkansas
  Her lips won’t touch the demon wine
  But her eyes are full of pure moonshine
  And I get drunk just holding her hand
  I get high thinking I could be her man

  (Repeat Chorus)

  For my dry county girl
  Lord, I fell so hard
  For my dry county girl
  For my dry county girl, yeah
  Yeah, talking about my

• Like I Am

  Lying here with you
  I watch you while you sleep
  The dawn is closing in
  With every breath you breathe

  I can feel the change
  The change you’ve made in me
  But will I ever see
  All the things you see in me

  Chorus
  When you say that I’m one of a kind
  Baby, I don’t see it but you believe
  That I’m so strong and true, I promise you
  I’ll try to be that kind of man
  Because you love me like I am

  When it comes to love
  I may not know the rules
  But there’s one thing I know
  My heart belongs to you, just you

  (Repeat Chorus)

  Bridge
  You show me you love me
  With a fire that burns deep inside

  (Repeat Chorus Twice)
  – I am
  I’ll never understand
  I don’t think I’ll ever understand
  Why you love me
  Why you love me just like I am

• You

  Melodically it felt like it was us, and, again, it was a song with a great, positive message, really fun to sing, and the harmonies really stand out.—GARY
  Chorus
  Every road that I’ve been down
  The only truth that I have found
  There’s only one thing I can’t live without
  You

  I was searching for something I thought I would never find
  Losing my mind
  In and out of bad love, I thought I was born to lose
  Then came you
  I thought I knew what the real thing was
  But nothing shakes me like your love does
  I’ve been hypnotized
  Now I realize

  (Repeat Chorus)

  Every time I get lost in a temperamental mood
  You still stay cool
  Just when I think that this life`s about to drive me insane
  You take the reins
  Every time I feel I’m drifting off course
  You’re my compass, you’re my one true north
  In a mixed up world
  You make sense to me girl

  (Repeat Chorus)

  Bridge
  Yeah, every road girl
  Leads me to you
  And baby, that’s all I need to know

  (Repeat Chorus Twice)

  Every road that I’ve been down in my life
  Every time I feel I’m taking off
  Every road that I’ve been down in my life
  Every road girl, leads me to you
  Yes it did, yes it did
  Every road girl
  Every road leads me to you

• Fallin’ Upside Down

  There’s no gravity up here
  It’s kind of hard to explain
  Every time I’m holding you
  It’s like backwards rain – yeah

  Chorus
  You lift me up like a kite on a string
  Like a bird on newfound wings
  So high on you, I’m floating and flying around
  Your love is like fallin` upside down

  You’ve got me so lightheaded
  It’s a dizzy mood
  Spinning uncontrollably
  And gaining altitude

  (Repeat Chorus)

  Bridge
  Look at me
  Used to be, I could keep my feet on the ground
  When you said you could take me higher
  You weren’t playing around
  (You weren`t playing around)

• Shine On

  I was lost in darkness and sinking sand
  Well I was barely nothing, a broken man
  But you picked up the pieces of my heart in your hand
  Then you came and showed to me love’s second chance

  Chorus
  Shine on, shine on, shine on me
  Whenever something’s missing
  You’re exactly what I need
  Your love has shown me the light and now I finally see
  So shine on, shine on, shine on me, yeah

  Lord knows that I’m not perfect but I sure do try
  And I see the man that I can be in your eyes
  Well there are times I still get lost in yesterday
  But you put the past behind me and you light my way

  (Repeat Chorus)

  Shine on (let your love shine)
  Shine on (on me)
  Shine all your love on me, yeah
  (Your love on me)
  Shine all your love on me, yeah

  (Repeat Chorus)

  Shine on, shine on, shine on me
  Won’t you keep on shining, yeah
  Won’t you keep on shining your love
  Down on me, baby
  Won`t you keep on shining, yeah
  Won`t you keep on shining your love
  Yeah, you’re exactly what I need, baby
  Yeah, you are

• My Worst Fear

  Last night you gave me a kiss
  You didn’t know it, but I was awake when you did
  You were quiet, you were gonna let me sleep
  So I just laid there pretending to be
  You said some things you didn’t know I could hear
  And the words “I love you” never sounded so sincere

  Chorus
  It’s gonna make it hard to tell you that I’m leaving
  Now that I know just how much you care
  You finally gave me one good reason not to go
  But staying here is my worst fear

  This morning I rolled out of bed
  Recalling all the sweet things you said
  This was the day I was gonna hurt you bad
  Called out your name, but you didn’t answer back
  I searched the house to find out what was wrong
  Like a ton of bricks, it hit me you were gone

  (Repeat Chorus)

  Bridge
  All along I knew that there was something missing
  And only one thing left to do
  I had to leave behind this life that we’d been living
  But the only thing that left was you

  Second Chorus
  It`s gonna make it hard to tell you that I`m leaving
  Now that I know just how much you care
  You finally gave me one good reason not to go
  But being alone is my worst fear
  And staying here is my worst fear
