1. There's A Girl In Texas

Lyrics

When I rode out of Dallas
Chasing down a dream
I thought I knew what I was looking for
But the neon nights have blinded me
'Til I'm lost in Tennessee
Not sure I know who I am anymore... but

There's a girl in Texas
There's a girl in Texas
There's a girl in Texas
That does

You're a truly lovely lady
And you sure light up the night
I'm a lonely man but I'm leaving here alone
I won't try to lie to you
About this heart of mine
That I can't give, that I don't really own... cause

There's a girl in Texas
There's a girl in Texas
There's a girl in Texas
That does

If this dream that I've been chasing
Ever sets me free
And I wake up to find it don't need me

There's a girl in Texas
There's a girl in Texas
There's a girl in Texas
That does

Yes, there's a girl in Texas that I still love

2. I Left Something Turned On At Home

Lyrics

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

3. Every Light In The House

Lyrics

I told you I'd leave a light on
In case you ever wanted to come back home
You smiled and said you appreciate the gesture
I took your every word to heart
'Cause I can't stand us being apart
And just to show how much I really miss ya

Every light in the house is on
The backyard's bright as the crack of dawn
The front walk looks like runway lights
It's kinda like noon in the dead of night
Every light in the house is on
Just in case you ever do get tired of being gone
Every light in the house is on

If I should ever start forgetting
I'll turn the lights off one by one
So you can see that I agree it's over
But until then I want you to know
If you look south, you'll see a glow
That's me waiting at home each night to hold ya

Every light in the house is on
The backyard's bright as the crack of dawn
The front walk looks like runway lights
It's kinda like noon in the dead of night
Every light in the house is on
Just in case you ever do get tired of being gone
Every light in the house is on

4. (This Ain't) No Thinkin' Thing

Lyrics

I been thinkin' 'bout our love situation
All this attraction in the present tense
I've reached the only logical conclusion
Love ain't supposed to make sense

This ain't no thinkin` thing, right brain, left brain
It goes a little deeper than that
It's a chemical, physical, emotional devotion
Passion that we can't hold back
There's nothin` that we need to analyze
There ain't no rhyme or reason why
'Cause this ain't, this ain't no thinkin` thing

Forget mathematical equations
Self help psychology
Gray matter don't matter much darlin`
When it's gettin` down to you and me

This ain't no thinkin` thing, right brain, left brain
It goes a little deeper than that
It's a chemical, physical, emotional devotion
Passion that we can't hold back
There's nothin` that we need to analyze
There ain't no rhyme or reason why
'Cause this ain't, this ain't no thinkin` thing

There's nothing that we need to analyze
There ain't no rhyme or reason why
'Cause this ain't, this ain't no thinkin` thing
This ain't, no this ain't no thinkin` thing

5. Dreamin' Out Loud

Lyrics

Pardon me mister, it was my mistake
I gotta be more careful in a crowd
If you caught me talkin` to someone you can't see
Don't mind me, I'm dreamin` out loud

I can't help wondering what did I do wrong
To lose the only one I care about
I can't stop living in the used to be
Don't mind me, I'm dreamin` out loud

All I hear is her whisper my name
All I see is her hair tumble down
When I feel the touch of her hand in mine
I find I'm dreamin` out loud

Well I'd better be going, got some place to be
I know she's somewhere in this town
And until I find her and she comes back to me
I'll be dreamin` out loud

All I hear is her whisper my name
All I see is her hair tumble down
When I feel the touch of her hand in mine
I find I'm dreamin` out loud

I'm dreamin` out Loud

6. If I Fall (You're Goin' With Me)

Lyrics

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 every time 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

7. It Was You

Lyrics

Some people say fallin` in love is purely chance
The random blend of time and place, circumstance
That couldn't be farther from the truth
'Cause with you

It wasn't the stars in the sky
That got to me that night
Or the music that we were dancing to
It wasn't the moon up above
That had me falling in love
It was more than all those things alone could do
It was you

I do believe we're all a part of some greater plan
That only angels in our hearts can understand
Somehow I know I'd found my place
When I saw your face

It wasn't the stars in the sky
That got to me that night
Or the music that we were dancing to
It wasn't the moon up above
That had me falling in love
It was more than all those things alone could do
It was you

8. I Can Only Love You Like A Man

Lyrics

From the time you were a baby
You had this notion in your head
Someone would come along and sweep you off your feet
Like in all those storybooks you read
Well if you're lookin` for salvation
Like some damsel in distress
Girl there ain't no heroes on white horses
At least I ain't seen 'em yet

There ain't no knights in shinin` armor
There ain't no never, never land
And I won't ever walk on water
I can only love you like a man

Now heaven knows I'm no angel
Just flesh and bone like all the rest
I never clamed to have a halo
All I can give you is my best
But, I will never try to hurt you
Or even give you cause to doubt
That my heart is yours forever
Ain't that what true love's all about

There ain't no knights in shinin` armor
There ain't no never, never land
And I won't ever walk on water
I can only love you like a man

No I won't ever walk on water
I can only love you like a man

9. 634-5789

Lyrics

If you need a little loving call on me
If you want a little hugging call on me
You know I'll be right here at home
All you got to do is pick up your telephone
And dial now 634-5789
634-5789

If you need a little kissing call on me
If good love is what you've been missing girl call on me
No more lonely nights will you be at home
All you got to do is pick up your telephone
And dial now 634-5789
634-5789

I'll be right there girl just as soon as I can
But if I'm just a little bit late
I hope you'll understand

I'll be right there baby just as soon as I can
But if I'm just a little bit late
I hope you'll understand
Call me at 634-5789
634-5789

10. A Bad Way Of Saying Goodbye

Lyrics

You left without saying i love you
And that makes three days in a row
Now that you're tired of pretending
It's time that i let you know

I don't disagree with your feelings
We both need to find a new life
But this ain't the way we should end it
It's a bad way of saying goodbye

There must be a better way of sayin` it's over
Where nobody walks away with tears in their eyes
When you stay 'til regret is all you have left
That's a bad way of saying goodbye

When I think of you I'll remember
How you looked at me when we met
But the way that you're looking at me now
I'll do my best to forget

It's not your fault, but it's not mine
We both made mistakes though we tried
So leaving without saying I'm sorry
Is a bad way of saying goodbye

There must be a better way of saying its over
Where nobody walks away with tears in their eyes
When you stay 'til regret is all you have left
That's a bad way of saying goodbye

That's a bad way of saying goodbye
