If You See Her [Arista Nashville] lyrics

wind blows hard across the Texas plains
makes some people go insane
while others quietly pray for rain
that's where we came from

two boys playing in the burning sun
one with books and one with guns
mama calls but just one comes
the other one runs

with a christian sense of wrong and right
we were born and raised in black and white
one learned to pray, one loved to fight

(Gary Stewart/Mary Lou Stewart)

Yeah, they oughta make a brand new whiskey
And give it a woman's name
A man needs something to hold onto
When a goodbye hits him like a hurricane
Make it sweet, as sweet as her lips
Intoxicating as her kiss
Something special like champagne
Yeah, they oughta make a brand new whiskey
And give it a woman's name

Leaving's the reason I'm drinking

I keep thinkin' any minute you'll be comin' home honey,
I ain't seen nothin' of you in a month of Sundays.
tell me, how long gone are you gonna be?

All you said was you had to get goin'.
Oh, but baby, I wouldn't mind knowin'
Just, how long gone are you gonna be?

[CHORUS]
How am I supposed to make any plans
When I still don't even understand
If you're ever gonna come back home to me?

(Roger Miller)

Two broken hearts lonely looking like houses
Where nobody lives
Two people each having so much pride inside
Neither side forgives

The angry words spoken in haste
Such a waste of two lives
It's my belief pride is the chief cause in the decline
In the number of husbands and wives

A woman and a man
A man and a woman
Some can and some can't and some can't

I forget where I'm goin' in my own house
I got myself in this, I'll get myself out
I talk out loud, at the top of my voice I sing
"whoa, keep the faith, see what tomorrow brings"

I can't get over you
try as I may, oh, it's no use
my heart just can't leave you alone
my mind won't believe you're gone
I can't get over you

I got a front row seat here
to a fool's masquerade

If you see him, tell him I wish him well
How am I doing? Well, sometimes it's hard to tell
I still miss him more than ever
But please don't say a word
If you see him.
If you see him.

(Brad)
If you see her, tell her I'm doing fine
And if you want to, say that I think of her from time to time

Where the rain don't fall and the grass don't grow
The older part of New Mexico
I drifted into town one day
And stumbled in on a lost cafe
The shades were pulled and the door was locked
Somethin' made me knock.

Time stood still when she opened the door
I didn't know where I was anymore
And we were lost in each other's eyes
Where loneliness meets paradise
Somethin' in my heart broke free

(Kix Brooks/Bob DiPiero)

Way gone for my sweet baby
So strong and I don't mean maybe
If I'm wrong then I don't know nothing
'Cause I'm way gone for her sweet loving

Way gone she's my one and only
So long to sad and lonely
She waltzed into my world
Now I'm way gone for my sweet girl

--- Instrumental ---

Oh, and if I'm half the man
My sweet baby thinks I am
I guess I better pack my bags

Love conquers all and someday it'll conquer you
There's nothing finer than falling all in it
When love is true
But once it goes out and breaks your heart
It still aint history
When love dies it dont rest in peace

You can lock your doors and windows
To keep the pain at bay
Yesterday may be dead and gone
But the past wont go away
Its waiting right around every corner

(Greg Humphrey/Michael Smotherman)

You're my angel, you see me through
Believe in me, I'll believe in you
Oh, fill my heart from your loving well
You're my angel.

Pick me up when I'm feelin' down
When I stumble on shaky ground
Oh, you're my answer when I can't tell
You're my angel.

Oh, you take me up to heaven
When you spread your loving wings

When I am weary and way behind

(Kix Brooks/Ronnie Dunn/Terry McBride)

I get down with music and guitars
I fool around with all kinds of fast cars
It takes you baby to keep my motor runnin'
I smoke the tires and watch the rubber burn
It takes your fire to make my wheels turn
Makes my blood run hot and keeps my heart a humming
But your love don't take a backseat to nothin'.

Temptation always a-knocking
