Wide Open Spaces lyrics

If you could see me now
The one who said that she's rather roam
The one who said she'd rather be alone
If you could only see me now

If I could hold you now
Just for a moment, if I could really make you mine
Just for a while, turn back the hands of time
If I could only hold you now

[Chorus:]
I've been too long in the wind
Too long in the rain
Taking any comfort that I can

She's got you wrapped up in her satin and lace.
Tied around her little finger.
She's got you thinkin' you can never escape.
Don't you know your heart's in danger.
There's a devil in that angel face.
If you could only see the love that you're wastin'

I can love you better that that.
I know how to make you forget her.
All I'm askin' is for one little chance.

Should Have Been Different But
It Wasn't Different, Was
Same Old Story, Dear John, And So Long
Should Have Fit Like A Glove
Should Have Fit Like A Ring
Like A Diamond Ring
A Token Of True Love
Should Have All Worked Out
But It Didn't
She Should Be Here Now
But She Isn't

[Chorus:]
There's Your Trouble, There's Your Trouble
You Keep Seeing Double With The Wrong One

Who doesn't know what I'm talking about
Who's never left home, who's never struck out
To find a dream and a life of their own
A place in the clouds, a foundation of stone

Many precede and many will follow
A young girl's dream no longer hollow
It takes the shape of a place out west
But what it holds for her, she hasn't yet guessed

[Chorus:]
She needs wide open spaces

I Can't Find A Reason To Let Go
Even Though You've Found A New Love
And She's What Your Dreams Are Made Of
I Can Find A Reason To Hang On
What Went Wrong Can Be Forgiven
Without You, It Ain't Worth Livin' Alone

[Chorus:]
Sometimes I Wake Up Crying At Night
And Sometimes I Scream Out Your Name
What Right Does She Have To Take You Away
When For So Long, You Were Mine

Well I Told You Pretty Baby
Such A Long Time Ago
If I Found You With Another
Well, I'd Walk Right Out Your Door
Woh, You Might Call Me Crazy
There's One Thing You Should Know
Well, If You Want Me To Love You, Got To
Give It Up Or Let Me Go

I Know It's Useless To Be Jealous
I Wouldn't Tie You If I Tried
When I Think You're Messin' Around My Back
It Sure Brings A Pain I Just Can't Hide

Well I Told You Pretty Baby
Such A Long Time Ago
If I Found You With Another
Well, I'd Walk Right Out Your Door
Woh, You Might Call Me Crazy
There's One Thing You Should Know
Well, If You Want Me To Love You, Got To
Give It Up Or Let Me Go

I Know It's Useless To Be Jealous
I Wouldn't Tie You If I Tried
When I Think You're Messin' Around My Back
It Sure Brings A Pain I Just Can't Hide

Times Are Hard And Rents Are High
What Can A Working Girl Do
But Struggle Through Another Day
Then I'll Take Care Of You

Nights Are Long And Dreams Are Cold
If They're All You Wake Up To
But Should You Rise With Crying Eyes
I'll Take Care Of You

[Chorus:]
So Let Them Talk About Us
Let Them Call Us Funny Things
People Sometimes Do
I Don't Care As Long
As You Know I Love You
Oh, And You Know I Do

I Can Tell There's Something You Don't Wanna Tell Me
It's Killing You 'Cause The Words Are Hard To Find
I Know You Want To Break It To Me Gently
Well Sweet Baby Say What's On Your Mind

[Chorus:]
Let 'Er Rip, Let It Fly
Come On Baby, Say It, Do You Think I'm Gonna Cry
I Ain't About To Bawl, And I Ain't Gonna Die
So If You're Gonna Say Goodbye, Don't Take All Day And Night
Let 'Er Rip, Let It Fly

I Should Go Out Tonight
Get On With My Life
Break These Chains Of Solitude
With A Little Luck And A Little Help
I Might Even Find Myself
In The Arms Of Someone New

[Chorus:]
Once You've Loved Somebody
It Ain't That Easy To Do
Once You've Loved Somebody
Like I Loved You

Look What You've Gone And Done
You've Ruined Everything For Everyone
Who Tries To Steal This Heart Away

Lyin' Next To You In The Dark
I Can Feel Your Beating Heart
You've Been Here Beside Me Through The Test Of Time
We've Both Had Our Share Of Doubts
Waited Out Those Ole Storm Clouds
Boy It's Nights Like This That I Know Why
Lovers Like You And Me Will Never Say Die

[Chorus:]
'Cause There's A Long Line Of Folks Giving Up On Love
So Many Hearts Get Broken In The Push And Shove

There Is No Good Reason
I Should Have To Be So Alone
I'm Smothered By This Emptiness
Lord I Wish I Was Made Of Stone
Like I Fool I Lent My Soul To Love
And It Paid Me Back In Change
God Help Me
Am I The Only One Who's Ever Felt This Way?

A Heart That's Worn And Weathered
Would Know Better Than To Fight
But I Wore Mine Like A Weapon
Played Out Love Like A Crime

(Amplett, McEntee)
Tell me mirror mirror
Mirror on my wall
Who is the fairest
The fairest of them all
Tell me fortune teller
Look into your crystal ball
A love for me romantically
Tell me will I fall
For someone good looking
What's the color of his hair
Does he have a fortune
I really just don't care
If he needs the money
I'll gladly pay his fare
Summon him this very night

There Is No Good Reason
I Should Have To Be So Alone
I'm Smothered By This Emptiness
Lord I Wish I Was Made Of Stone
Like I Fool I Lent My Soul To Love
And It Paid Me Back In Change
God Help Me
Am I The Only One Who's Ever Felt This Way

A Heart That's Worn And Weathered
Would Know Better Than To Fight
But I Wore Mine Like A Weapon
Played Out Love Like A Crime

I Should Go Out Tonight
Get On With My Life
Break These Chains Of Solitude
With A Little Luck And A Little Help
I Might Even Find Myself
In The Arms Of Someone New

[Chorus:]
Once You've Loved Somebody
It Ain't That Easy To Do
Once You've Loved Somebody
Like I Loved You

Look What You've Gone And Done
You've Ruined Everything For Everyone
Who Tries To Steal This Heart Away

I Can Tell There's Something You Don't Wanna Tell Me
It's Killing You 'Cause The Words Are Hard To Find
I Know You Want To Break It To Me Gently
Well Sweet Baby Say What's On Your Mind

[Chorus:]
Let 'Er Rip, Let It Fly
Come On Baby, Say It, Do You Think I'm Gonna Cry
I Ain't About To Bawl, And I Ain't Gonna Die
So If You're Gonna Say Goodbye, Don't Take All Day And Night
Let 'Er Rip, Let It Fly

You Could've Heard A Pin Drop
When They Walked Through The Door
Had To Turn My Eyes Away
My Heart Fell To The Floor
Someone Whispered, "Where's Her Halo"
Cause She Had An Angel's Face
He Stood There Smiling, Holding On
To The One Who Took My Place

So...
[Chorus:]
Tonight The Heartache's On Me, On Me
Let's Drink A Toast To The Fool Who Couldn't See

Times Are Hard And Rents Are High
What Can A Working Girl Do
But Struggle Through Another Day
Then I'll Take Care Of You

Nights Are Long And Dreams Are Cold
If They're All You Wake Up To
But Should You Rise With Crying Eyes
I'll Take Care Of You

[Chorus:]
