Far From Over lyrics

well this life's stretched out before me
the highway shimmering with stars
the knowing glances of the runaways
that never made it this far

i cant believe she said that we can work it out
i thought that we were near the end
gone are the days
all the trouble and the doubt
this is far from over my friend

my lover's name is music
well she's held my heart so long

And the hearts fall in the right places
And the hearts fall in the right places

Pin feathers, dusty old wings
Living all my crazy never-land dreams
And I feel her trying when we're apart

And I feel like dying
God don't let me break her heart
God don't let me break her heart
God don't let me break her heart

And the hearts fall in the right places
And the hearts fall in the right places

I know the sun will rise
Just like the stars in the skies

Hey there busy boy why are you so blue
Walking around in your Armageddon shoes
You say you got nothing, you got nothing left to lose
Boy if they were free, you still would not have a clue

I know the sun will rise
Just like the stars in the skies
Just like every time you look at me with loving in your eyes
I know the sun will rise

I've seen a love that rolls like thunder
I've seen a love that falls like rain
That kind of love it makes me wonder
Why my love causes me so much pain

I see my ring as it spins on the table
A perfect circle on the dusty wood
Tells of a life, the love and the laughter
Cries my tears for the times that were good

I've seen a love that rolls like thunder
I've seen a love that falls like rain

Kelly is raising a son
His dad left just after the birth
Now she's living on child support checks
I guess that's all that man was worth

She says, I just need a man who will love me
But they all just want one night of sin
I know my life could be better
I just don't know where I should begin.

She said write me a song
One that makes all the girls cry

Mama, how do I write the words to you
You were the only one who loved me true

But there's a woman that we don't even know
She gave me life, then you gave me a home

I love you, Mama
But I want to tell her too
Is that her little boy still loves you

I close my eyes, does she look like me
Does she need my help, is she cold on the street

Am I forgotten like a bad childhood dream

It's time to get out of this town
There's no more fun to be found
I'm rolling thunder with the top down
It's time to get out, get out, get out

Crescent City high-life
Dancing with the devil's wife
Just like some voodoo dream
Living on 4th and Magazine

A black rose and a chicken bone
I don't know if I'll make it home
Another night at Snake and Jakes
Just a little more than I can take

The night before your wedding,
I dreamed what I would say,
I'd beg you for forgiveness,
For all the mess I've made.

I dreamed that you were gracious,
I dreamed you wished me well,
I dreamed that you were vicious,
You damned me straihgt to hell.

CHORUS
But, oh, sweet Kentucky
No matter where I land
I was just a boy for you
And he will be your man.
I was just a boy for you

I tell you my story on VH1
And all of my personal hell
And how my dad beat me and how much he drank
Do you think it'll help my records sell

Cause I'm the radio star with the cars and the clothes
The fancy guitars and the spoon in my nose
You know in my world now anything goes
You all want to be me, and I'll be gone in a week

Hang out with Britney and Fred Durst

Well I'm watching the dragons as they make another claim
He used to be a friend of mine, I called him by his name

Well there's nothing you can say to nirvana when it's packed up in a syringe
We'll call up your mama and bus in all your friends

Well I'm watching the dragons
As they slither out of sight

And I wonder who'll be sleeping alone tonight

I've been through the valley but I feared no man
Saw the beach and the footprints alone in the sand

When times seem hopeless, the night too dark to see
The lone footprints on the road behind were the times when You carried me

Jesus, He loves me
This I know
And Jesus, He loves me
For the Bible tells me so

Son of God
A Savior and King
You've taken away the sins of the world
