Ranch lyrics

--- Instrumental ---

It's killin' me to write the word 'goodbye'
I've wadded up and tossed a thousand tries
We both know the reason
There ain't nothing to explain
But I know that my leavin'
Will spare us both the pain.

Chorus:
Desiree, I can't hold you any longer
Desireem you love his money more than me
And the taxi's at the gate
I guess all that's left to say
Is in teardrops at the bottom of the page

Freeom's Finally Mine ~ Keith Urban and The Ranch

I'm on a red dirt road windin up to a sky of blue,
And I left the blacktop back about a mile or two,
No more sittin at home, leave the TV and the telephone far behind,
This life is killin us all, and back roads are lookin mighty fine,
Oh and

[Chorus]
Freedom's finally mine,
(I ain't takin anymore)
Yea freedom's finally mine,
It's finally mine,

Down the drain pipe, cross the yard and through the fence
I risked a whoopin' every time I went
'Cause white boys weren't allowed on the colored side of town
But I was proud to call that old black man my friend.

He had a pillow by the bed he used to pray on
And a beat up old guitar he let me play on
I knew where my fingers went from his greasy fingerprints

I had a heck of a time gettin' into my house today
There was a big ass U-Haul trailer in my way
And she was headed for the car, so I grabbed my old guitar
I got one more chance before she drives away.
So__

Chorus:
Hank, don't fail me now
You've always bailed me out
"Your Cheatin' Heart"
Could set that suitcase down
Give me one more song to whine
That'll make her change her mind

You spun your web back a Sunday or two
I ain't never met nobody
Like the likes of you
You got me preachin' the news
You turned down my road and decided to stay
And I took a shine to your hair
And your hillbillly ways
And how you kiss on my face
I got a bone deep feelin'
You're the start of the good ole days.

Chorus:
Well, I still remember
You came by my trailer

I heard the rumor that we're callin' it off
And we won't last too long
But I got this feelin' when I'm looking at you, baby
They couldn't be more wrong
They've been sayin' it's a shaky romance
And they don't give the two of us too much of a chance.

Chorus:
But if the Grand Canyon is just some ditch
Dorothy and Toto fought just some witch
And if Babe Ruth was just a guy with a glove

Well, I ain't proud of what I'm about to do
All alone up here with you
With the picture of your man
Face down upon the night stand, so he can't see
And I don't like running all the red lights here
Every time the coast is clear
Any time you need my lovin'
You know I'll come running, faithfully.

Chorus:
'Cause he stays so busy with his money
And you, you get so lonely when he's gone

I can feel your goodbye comin'
Like a storm up from the south
The rain'll splatter at the back door
The wind'll whistle 'round the house
So it's you and Howie Johnston
Somebody told me at the store
I guess I'd better get used
To the idea of you
Not around anymore.

Chorus:
And so, I'm doin' my best to prepare for the worst
And I'd better get use to the hunger and thirst
I gotta find me a potion

It was about five til' five on Friday
We were all getting ready to go
And the boss man started screaming
And his veins began to show
He said "You and you come with me
'Cause you're gonna have to stay"
My heart was thumping I was jumping
I had to get away.

Chorus:
Some days you gotta dance
Live it up when you get the chance
When the world doesn't make no sense

You know the cards are stacked against this
As we surrender our defenses
I've torn down all my fences just for you
and you feel it to what do we do?
Do we run or see it through?

The longer were together it just keeps getting better
and you hide your little love letters around the house for me
and its plain to see that you'll always be all I'll ever need

the webs we've spun
wove into one

(Keith Urban and Vernon Rust)

Runnin' from the rate race just as fast as I can
Take off my tie so I can breathe
Me, I'm going where the fresh air's blowin'
Take a little walk in the country with me.

Chorus:
Walk in the country with me
Watch the sun sinkin' down on the trees
It's gonna do us some good to get down in the woods
Take a little walk in the country with me. Hey
