Lyrics

• Bless The Broken Road

  I set out on a narrow way many years ago
  Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
  But I got lost a time or two
  Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
  I couldn’t see how every sign pointed straight to you

  Chorus:
  Every long lost dream led me to where you are
  Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
  Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
  This much I know is true
  That God blessed the broken road
  That led me straight to you

  I think about the years I spent just passing through
  I’d like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
  But you just smile and take my hand
  You’ve been there you understand
  It’s all part of a grander plan that is coming true

  Chorus:
  Every long lost dream led me to where you are
  Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
  Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
  This much I know is true
  That God blessed the broken road
  That led me straight to you

  Now I’m just rollin’ home into my lover’s arms
  This much I know is true
  That God blessed the broken road that led me straight to you

• Feels Like Today

  I woke up this morning
  With this feeling inside me, that I can’t explain
  Like a weight that I’ve carried, been carried away, away
  But I know something is coming
  I don’t know what it is
  But I know it’s amazing, can save me my time is coming
  I’ll find my way out
  Of this longest drought

  Chorus:
  And it feels like today, I know
  It feels like today, I’m sure
  It’s the one thing that’s missing
  The one thing you’re wishing
  The last sacred blessing
  And hey, feels like today
  Feels like today

  I treated life like a picture
  But it’s not a moment that’s frozen in time
  It’s not gonna wait till I make up my mind, at all
  So while this storm is breaking
  While there’s light at the end of the tunnel
  I’ll keep running towards it
  Releasing the pressure that’s my heartache
  Soon this dam will break

  Chorus:
  And it feels like today, I know
  Feels like today, I’m sure
  It’s the one thing that’s missing
  The one thing you’re wishing
  The last sacred blessing and hey
  Feels like today
  Feels like today

• Fast Cars And Freedom

  Staring at you taking off your makeup
  Wondering why you even put it on
  I know you think you do, but baby, you don’t need it
  Wish that you could see what I see when it’s gone

  Chorus:
  I see a dust trail following an old red Nova
  Baby blue eyes and your head on my shoulder
  Wait, baby don’t move, right there it is
  A T-shirt hanging off a dogwood branch
  That river was cold but we gave love a chance
  Yeah To me
  You don’t look a day over fast cars and freedom
  That sunset, riverbank, first time feeling

  Yeah smile and shake your head as if you don’t believe me
  I’ll just sit right here and let you take me back
  Got Cougar up on ten, Little Diddy ‘Bout Jack and Diane
  You’re laughing, singing with your feet up on the dash
  Remember that

  Chorus:
  I see a dust trail following an old red Nova
  Baby blue eyes and your head on my shoulder
  Wait, baby don’t move, right there it is
  A T-shirt hanging off a dogwood branch
  That river was cold but we gave love a chance
  Yeah To me
  You don’t look a day over fast cars and freedom
  That sunset, riverbank, first time feeling

• Skin (Sarabeth)

  Sara Beth is scared to death
  To hear what the doctor will say
  She hasn’t been well, since the day that she fell
  And the bruise just won’t go away

  So she sits and she waits with her mother and dad
  And flips through an old magazine
  Till the nurse with the smile stands in the door
  And says will you please come with me

  Sara Beth is scared to death
  Cause the doctor just told her the news
  Between the red cells and white, something’s not right
  But we’re gonna take care of you

  Six chances in ten, it won’t come back again
  With the therapy we’re gonna try
  It’s just been approved, it’s the strongest there is
  And I think that we caught it in time
  And Sara Beth closes her eyes.

  Chorus:
  And she dreams she’s dancing
  Around and around without any cares
  And her very first love is holding her close
  And a soft wind is blowing her hair

  Sara Beth is scared to death
  As she sits holding her mom
  Cause it would be a mistake for someone to take
  A bald headed girl to the prom

  For just this morning, right here on her pillow
  Was the cruelest of any surprise
  And she cried when she gathered it all in her hands
  The proof that she couldn’t deny
  And Sara Beth closes her eyes

  Chorus:
  And she dreams she’s dancing
  Around and around without any cares
  And her very first love is holding her close
  And a soft wind is blowing her hair

  Bridge
  It’s quarter to seven, that boy’s at the door
  And her daddy ushers him in
  And when he takes off his cap
  They all start to cry
  Cause this morning where his hair had all been
  Softly she touches just skin

  And they go dancing, around and around
  Without any cares
  And her very first true love is holding her close
  And for a moment she isn’t scared

• Life Is A Highway

  Whooo umm yeah…
  Life’s like a road that you travel on
  When there’s one day here and the next day gone
  Sometimes you bend, sometimes you stand
  Sometimes you turn your back to the wind
  There’s a world outside ev’ry darkened door
  Where blues won’t haunt you anymore
  Where brave are free and lovers soar
  Come ride with me to the distant shore
  We won’t hesitate
  To break down the garden gate
  There’s not much time left today

  [Chorus:]
  Life is a highway
  I wanna ride it all night long
  If you’re going my way
  I wanna drive it all night long

  Through all these cities and all these towns
  It’s in my blood and it’s all around
  I love you now like I loved you then
  This is the road and these are the hands
  From Mozambique to those Memphis nights
  The Khyber Pass to Vancouver’s lights

  Knock me down get back up again
  You’re in my blood
  I’m not a lonely man
  There’s no load I can’t hold
  Road so rough this I know
  I’ll be there when the light comes in
  Just tell ‘em we’re survivors

  [Chorus]

  Gimme gimme gimme gimme yeah

  [Chorus]

  There was a distance between you and I (between you and I)
  A misunderstanding once
  But now we look it in the eye

  Ooooo…Yeah!

  There ain’t no load that I can’t hold
  Road so rough this I know
  I’ll be there when the light comes in
  Just tell ‘em we’re survivors

  [Chorus: (x3)]
  Life is a highway
  I wanna ride it all night long
  If you’re going my way
  I wanna drive it all night long

  Gimme gimme gimme gimme yeah

• White Christmas

  ’m dreaming of a white Christmas
  Just like the ones I used to know
  Where the tree tops glisten and children listen
  To hear sleigh bells in the snow

  I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
  With every Christmas card I write
  May your days be merry and bright
  And may all your Christmases be white

  I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
  Just like the ones I used to know
  So may your days be merry and bright
  And may all your Christmases be white

  May your days be merry and bright
  And may all your Christmases be white

  I’ll be home for Christmas – Rascal Flatts

  I’ll be home for Christmas
  You can count on me
  Please have snow and mistle toe
  And presents under the tree

  Christmas Eve will find me
  Where the love light gleams
  I’ll be home for Christmas
  If only in my dreams

  I’ll be home, I’ll be home
  If only in my dreams
  I’ll be home, I’ll be home
  If only in my dreams

  I’m dreamin’ tonight
  Of a place I love
  Even more than I usually do
  (Usually do)
  And although I know
  It’s a long road back
  I Promise You

• Stand

  ‘Cause when push comes to shove
  You taste what you’re made of
  You might bend ‘til you break
  ‘Cause it’s all you can take
  On your knees you look up
  Decide you’ve had enough
  You get mad, you get strong
  Wipe your hands, shake it off
  Then you stand, then you stand

  Life’s like a novel with the end ripped out
  The edge of a canyon with only one way down
  Take what you’re given before it’s gone
  And start holdin’ on, keep holdin’ on

  Every time you get up and get back in the race
  One more small piece of you starts to fall into place – yeah

  Yeah then you stand – yeah
  Yeah, baby
  Woo hoo, Woo hoo, Woo hoo
  Then you stand – yeah, yeah

• What Hurts The Most

  I can take the rain
  On the roof of this empty house
  That don’t bother me
  I can take a few tears now and then
  And I just let ‘em out
  I’m not afraid to cry every once in a while
  Even though goin’ on with you gone still upsets me
  There are days every now and again
  I pretend I’m okay
  But that’s not what gets me

  Chorus
  What hurts the most
  Was being so close
  And havin’ so much to say
  And watchin’ you walk away
  And never knowin’
  What could’ve been
  And not seein’ that lovin’ you
  Is what I was tryin’ to do

  It’s hard to deal with the pain
  Of losin’ you everywhere I go
  But I’m doin’ it
  It’s hard to force that smile
  When I see our old friends and I’m alone
  Still harder gettin’ up, gettin’ dressed, livin’ with this regret
  But I know if I could do it over
  I would trade, give away
  All the words that I saved in my heart
  That I left unspoken

  Not seein’ that lovin’ you
  That’s what I was trying to do
  Oooo, Oooo, Oooo –

• My Wish

  I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow
  And each road leads you where you want to go
  And if you’re faced with the choice and you have to choose
  I hope you choose the one that means the most to you
  And if one door opens to another door closed
  I hope you keep on walkin’ ‘til you find the window
  If it’s cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile
  But more than anything, more than anything

  Chorus
  My wish for you
  Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
  Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
  You never need to carry more than you can hold
  And while you’re out there gettin’ where you’re gettin’ to
  I hope you know somebody loves you
  And wants the same things too
  Yeah, this is my wish

  I hope you never look back but you never forget
  All the ones who love you
  And the place you left
  I hope you always forgive and you never regret
  And you help somebody every chance you get
  Oh, you find God’s grace in every mistake
  And always give more than you take
  But more than anything, yeah more than anything

  This is my wish
  I hope you know somebody loves you
  May all your dreams stay big

• 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

• 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)

• Prayin’ For Daylight

  I don’t want to spend another lonely night
  Oooo, Oooo, Oooo

  I’ve got the lights turned up
  The door is locked, the bedroom TV’s on
  Doing the only thing that gets me through the night
  Since you’ve been gone

  Chorus
  Prayin’ for daylight, waiting for that morning sun
  So I can act like my whole life ain’t going wrong
  Baby come back to me, I swear I’ll make it right
  Don’t make me spend another lonely night
  Prayin’ for daylight
  (Prayin’ for daylight)

  I made a bad miscalculation
  Betting you would never leave
  ‘Cause if you’re getting on with your new life
  Then where does that leave me

  Prayin’ for daylight
  (Prayin’ for daylight)

  Bridge
  Prayin’ for daylight
  Hoping that I didn’t wait too long
  (I didn’t wait too long)
  That this is just the dark before the dawn

  Deep in my heart I know
  That you love me as much as I love you
  And that you must be lying somewhere
  Looking up to Heaven too

  Prayin’ for daylight
  I don’t want to spend another lonely night
  I don’t want to spend another lonely night
  (Prayin’ for daylight)
  Prayin’ for daylight
  I don’t want to spend another lonely night
  Oooo, Oooo, Oooo, Oooo, Oooo

• I’m Movin’ On

  I’ve dealt with my ghosts and I’ve faced all my demons
  Finally content with a past I regret
  I’ve found you find strength in your moments of weakness
  For once I’m at peace with myself
  I’ve been burdened with blame, trapped in the past for too long
  I’m movin’ on

  I’ve lived in this place and I know all the faces
  Each one is different but they’re always the same
  They mean me no harm but it’s time that I face it
  They’ll never allow me to change
  But I never dreamed home would end up where I don’t belong
  I’m movin’ on

  Chorus
  I’m movin’ on
  At last I can see life has been patiently waiting for me
  And I know there’s no guarantees, but I’m not alone
  There comes a time in everyone’s life
  When all you can see are the years passing by
  And I have made up my mind that those days are gone

  I sold what I could and packed what I couldn’t
  Stopped to fill up on my way out of town
  I’ve loved like I should but lived like I shouldn’t
  I had to lose everything to find out
  Maybe forgiveness will find me somewhere down this road
  I’m movin’ on

  I’m movin’ on
  I’m movin’ on
