Heaven, Heartache, and the Power of Love lyrics

Youll never hear me knockin an old pair of boots
A man who wears his Wranglers for Sunday suit
The kind that aint afraid to get dirt on his hands
And bring you fresh daisies in a coffee can.

I like a man to ride me round pick-up style
Tip his hat and wink at me, shoot me a smile
Take me two-steppin at the honky tonk
Yeah that kind of man aint hard to want, cause
Cowboys are my weakness.

We both know it's been over for a long time
You're afraid to look me in the eye
Let's order up a bottle of the good stuff
And drink until we don't know how to lie.

So won't you give it to me straight
I got a lot of heart to break
And a lot of love for you that needs to die.

Won't you hurt me and hurt me good
Let the truth burn like it should
Don't just pour it on
Drown me
Ooh Lord drown me.

They say up in heaven the streets are gold
Once you get past the pearly gates
And the angels are singin'
At the top of a dove white staircase.

And I say heartache can burn you down like hell
Leave you beggin' "Baby, please don't go"
'Til you're scrapin' rock bottom
And cryin' in a deep, dark hole.

Oh, and love can make you fly like a rocket
Put you on top of the world.

I'm talkin' 'bout

You're always so patient
You're always so kind
And I've got this fiery temper
Always falling out of line
Lord, I say just what I think
And you want to think things out
Baby, you stand on your own
While I run with the crowd.

What's it like to be so strong?
Help me
I'm just barely hanging on
Help me
Lord, I want to do this right
Help me.

I'm getting tired of being
The way I've always been

Like a wildwood flower
Doesnt have to reach for the sun
And when it needs a drop of water
It doesnt have to ask the rain to come.

I dont wanna work for your love
I dont wanna try to be
Something that youre looking for
Youre never gonna find in me.

So let the wind chase you
I cant do it anymore
Let the road run after you
Like I always did before
Let the stars catch your eye

I'm sittin' in this cafe
People talking so loud
I can't hear myself think
And that's not a bad thing
The coffee keeps on coming
The waiter keeps smiling
As I'm riding on this river of caffeine
And that's not a bad thing.

I used to feel sorry for someone like me
In a corner booth pretending to read
On a Friday night
I used to say it just ain't right
How could anybody ever have any fun

Don't come knockin' on my door no more
Don't you come around here messin' with me
Don't call me baby
Your pretty lady ain't the same little woman that she used to be.

Don't you come over here layin' on the horn
Don't call my telephone one more time
Don't call my mama, don't call my sister
Don't nobody care what's on your mind.

All your silver-tongue sweet-talkin' lies

Id like to write a song
A sweet and simple thing
And if I do it right
Itd be the only one Id sing
Cause it would bring me everything Id need
A song that I could sing you back to me.

Sing you back, bring you back
A miracle of page and pen
Youd hear it and be here again
And always and forever there would be
A song that I could sing you back to me.

There must be a million words

Oh, the sun rolls down, big as a miracle
And fades from the Midwest Sky
And the corn and the trees wave in the breeze
As if to say goodbye
Oh, my grandfather stood right here as a younger man
In nineteen and forty three
And with the sweat and his tears, the rain and the years
He grew life from the soil and seed.

Oh I'm goin' down to the dreaming fields
But what will be my harvest now

He had me spinning like a girl in the circus in a trapeze act
Tell me what are you supposed to do when you've been kissed like that
I don't think I've ever been so high
Is it any wonder I felt like I could fly.

It's a tumblin' rush it's a helpless kind of feeling
When your heart doesn't know which way is up or down
'Til you hit the ground hard and fast, bruised & barely breathin'

This was bound to happen it was just a matter of time
This town is just too small for us to really say goodbye
You're smilin' that smile that you get when you're nervous
Like you don't quite know what to do but this is me you're talkin' to
This is me you're talkin' to.

I've heard you met somebody, it didn't take you very long
And I'll admit it isn't easy knowing you've moved on

I'm my daddy when I drink
My mama when I cry
I'm honest when I tell the truth
And lying when I lie
And there's a lot of things that I don't do
'Cause I don't follow through like I want to
But I don't want to.

The devil's begging for me time
The good Lord for my soul
I'm always easier to catch
Than I've ever been to hold
I'm a twisted rose, a tangled weed
The last thing that I need is to want you
