keith urban lyrics

Yeah, yeah
Ooh it's a love thing
I been working all day long
And I'm ready to come on home to you
All the other guys roll their eyes
And don't realize it's what I want to do
It's what I want to do
They say I'm wrapped around your finger
But they don't understand
That what we got is more than just a diamond
On your hand

Baby it's a love thing, whoa
Baby it's a love thing, yeah

Gonna kick off my shoes
And run in bare feet
Where the grass and the dirt and the gravel all meet
Goin' back to the well gonna visit old friends
And feed my soul where the blacktop ends

I'm lookin' down the barrel of Friday night
Ridin' on a river of freeway lights
Goodbye city I'm country bound
'Til Monday rolls around

Gonna kick off my shoes
And run in bare feet

I can hear the neighbors
They're arguin' again
And there hasn't been peace on our street
Since who knows when
I don't mean to listen in
But the shoutin' is so loud
I turn up the radio to drown it out
And silently I say a little prayer

But for the grace of God go I
I must've been born a lucky guy
Heaven only knows how I've been blessed
With the gift of you love
And I look around and all I see

The first time I looked in your eyes I knew
That I would do anything for you
The first time you touched my face I felt
Like I've never felt with anyone else

I wanna give back what you've given to me
And I wanna witness all of your dreams
Now that you've shown me who I really am
I wanna be more then just your man

I wanna be the wind that fills your sails
And be the hand that lifts your veil

You're such a pretty little thing
I wanna put a wedding ring on your finger
Baby can't you see that we were meant to be together
Yeah the joinin' of our hearts is written in the stars
We've got a love made in heaven
So baby take my hand I wanna be your man forever

Well I can't think of anyone else it's true
All day long there's no one on my mind but you

The cards are stacking up against us
These days our luck is running low
It's hard to explain but a little bit of rain
Seems to follow us wherever we go

Black cat sittin' on a ladder
Broken mirror on the wall
We're not a bit superstitious
No need to worry at all

'Cause when we can't roll a seven
And our last lucky penny is gone
This world can be tough
But I know when our love is this strong

I know it's gonna take some time
For you to trust this love of mine
I know he broke your heart in two
You've been betrayed and ... your afraid
That I will do the same to you

But you'll be safe here in my arms ... forever and a day
Though you don't believe me now ... I'll never walk away
You ... You know that I'll be there ... when tomorrow comes

( Your the only one )

Go if you wana go, stay if you wana stay
My hearts not a game you can play with and put away
Baby tryin' to figure you out, could make a man go insane
So just go if you wana go, stay if you wana stay...

Dream what you want to dream, be who you gotta be
I never wana be the one who kept you from being free
But girl I gotta know what you want, 'cause I've takin' all I can take

Don't shut me out maybe baby
We should talk about it
'Cause you've got your doubts but maybe, baby
They might be unfounded

Have a little faith you'll make it through
I'd never hesitate to talk to you
If you tell me just what's weighing on your mind
Maybe it could help you sleep tonight
So don't shut me out

Don't be so proud don't ya know that
Before a fall it leaves ya

Your smiles they don't come easy
Like they used to come before
The awkwardness and boredom
Is scattered out across the floor
I can feel your love waxin' and wanin'
And a quick look in your eyes needs no explainin'

I'm out on my own
Livin' alone

I'm an old reluctant gypsy
I don't like campin' anymore
And the dreams and disappointments
Scatter out across the floor

I thought You knew, guess I assumed to much
I don't know how, but now wheir so far out of touch
And I never planned, to so miss understand
But what you needed, you never asked me to give
And I swear as I live...

I thought you knew my heart was yours
And that we were so together
That we, would always be
I don't believe, you leavin' me is the answer

--- Instrumental ---

(Johanna Pigott and Todd Hunter)

I've been through ups and downs
I haven't known which way to turn
And when I wander through this town
I only think of you

CHORUS
Only you, can take my bad heart and make it good
Only you, can take my crooked path and make it new

On the day that I was born
The cards were dealt, the dice were thrown
I think my destiny was drawn

REPEAT CHORUS

(Ian and George Sutherland)

The light shines down the valley
The wind blows up the alley
Oh how I wish I was lyin' in the arms of Mary

She took the pains of boyhood
And turned them into feel good
Oh how I wish I was lyin' in the arms of Mary

CHORUS
Mary was the girl who taught me all I had to know
She out me right on my first mistake

Summer wasn't gone

(Paul Kelly)

Hello blue stranger sittin' there all alone
With your glass of sorrow you seem so far from home
Maybe you will let me buy a round or two
I'm a blue stranger too

Hello blue stranger I haven't seen your around
But I know every reason for leavin' town
We might know each other before the night is through
I'm a blue stranger too

And strangers fall in love everyday

Instrumental

(Keith Urban/G M Holden)

I've seen it happen too many times
And just where it starts I don't know
You're travelling steady but you don't see the signs
That tell you there's a fork in the road
And you don't think it's right but you're both turnin' away
And the ending is always the same
When suddenly parallel lives drift apart
And there's no one accepting the blame

(Keith Urban)

It's six Monday morning, she's back into her routine
Kicks off the covers and thinks about last night's dream
Shower and coffee, she heads for the train
Thinkin' how every day's the same
There's gotta be more than life of her own
All that she wants is a man to come home too

CHORUS:
She's lookin' for someone to love her
And stay forever true

(Keith Urban and H Field)

I hit the highway and I checked the time
I see the sunrise and it makes me wanna change my mind
Oh I got it bad
I stopped for a coffee in a nowhere town
A pretty waitress says "Hey what's the frown
Boy you got it bad"
Well so many times you told me before
If you don't like it, well there's the door
This time I've gone for good and I got it bad

(Keith Urban/G M Holden)

Monday morning another workin' week ahead
Friday seems so far ahead
The clock keeps ringin', gotta get up out of bed
Maybe this could be the day
Motivation, well it keeps you holon' on
Every step of the way
Headin' in the right direction when you think you're turnin' wrong
Lookin' out for when you stay
So hear what I say
There's no other way, you gotta

(Keith Urban)

CHORUS:
I never work on a Sunday
I've got a life of my own
And this here is the one day
I spend with my family at home

I left the office in a flash on Friday
Threw my boots in the car
Cashed my pay cheque & headed for the country
To sleep underneath the stars
I drove all day Saturday and right into the evenin' 'till there were no more city lights

(Keith Urban/G M Holden)

I can't believe it, guess I'll never understand
Seems to me, I'm lookin' at someone who's
an unchanged man
Tell me, what've I gotta do
To make you see that she's always loved you
Right there waitin' in the wings
Unaware of the foolish things you do, think about it

CHORUS:
She would never do a thing to hurt you
And there is nothing she'd ever need to hide

(Keith Urban)

I know a place where love flows like water
You sit on the bank and pass the time away
So take my hand I want to show you something
My very own lover's hideaway

CHORUS:
And I will take you down the river
Where we'll will be lovin' in the shade of the old willow tree
I'll take you down to the river
Where you and I can just be you and me

(G Burr/Keith Urban)

You come here lookin' for sympathy
Cause it's not everything you thought it would be
Don't waste your time
You can't understand why it comes and goes
The sudden storms, the highs and lows
So you stand here cryin'
Girl get in line

CHORUS:
What love is that way
You're waitin' time pretending
What love is that way
When you walk through life expecting

(Keith Urban)

Oh girl you get to me
In a way I can't believe
I need you
And who knows where just friends ends
When your cross that line and love begins
In over my head and the water's turnin' blue

CHORUS
But what would I do
Without you
What would I do
Without you

Hearts never know the way
They want to go and want to stay
We need two
But in time you find the road

(Keith Urban/G M Holden)

I remember as a kid wishin' I was seventeen
No more school, my own car.
back then it was all a dream
Then came the day to say goodbye to the room that was once mine
One last look at my old world then
I closed the door behind, to

CHORUS:
Yesterday, everything was easy
Livin' life like there was no tomorrow
Now everyday memories still remind me

We've spent a long time side by side
Guess I've loved you forever
Sometimes we laughed, sometimes we cried
Still we made it together
I don't know what I'd do without you
Girl you make me smile
You know I can't stop thinkin' about you
Oh you drive me wild

CHORUS:
Baby our love is still comin' on strong
You give me strength that I needed so long
I can't explain how I feel in my heart
