Greatest Hits Collection 1 lyrics

In the early rush of morning
Trying to get the kids to school
One's hanging on my shirttail
Another's locked up
In her room
And I'm yelling up the stairs
Stop worrying 'bout your hair
You look fine

Then they're fightin' in the backseat
I'm playing referee
Now someone's gotta go
The moment that we leave
And everybody's late
I swear that I can't wait
'Till they grow up

(Chorus)

I been thinkin' 'bout our love situation
All this attraction in the present tense
I've reached the only logical conclusion
Love ain't supposed to make sense
This ain't no thinkin` thing, right brain, left brain
It goes a little deeper than that
It's a chemical, physical, emotional devotion
Passion that we can't hold back
There's nothin` that we need to analyze

Get ready baby, we're going uptown
It's friday night, we're gonna get down
I thought you might like this brand new baby-blue dress
I figured out about a quarter 'til ten
We'll be partied out and headin' in
You and me alone darlin' doing what we do best
Big time, we're gonna have one
Big time, we're gonna grab some
Lovin' huggin' cuddlin' upin'
Rendezvous
'Cuz I'm in love with you

Chrome,
she can see herself
in the shiny grill
and the wire wheels
of a red Chevelle
with four-on-the-floor
and the top down
Chrome,
zippin' by
on an ElectraGlide
with dual tailpipes
doin' 105 in the broad daylight
on a two lane road
headin outta town

CHORUS
For-get pink and pur-ple paislies
Little mel-low yel-low daisies
ain't no pot of gold in her rainbow

That old photograph of us sure looks out of place
Laying on your bag out in the hall.
You're takin' it to remind you of our better days...
The one's you say you'll miss when you're gone.
Don't lie...don't try to fool me...
Cause girl I know what's goin' on.
Don't lie...you owe it to me...
Believe me leave well enough alone.
So just go ahead and say goodbye...
But don't lie.

I told you I'd leave a light on,
In case you ever wanted to come back home,
You smiled and said you appreciate the gesture,
I took your every word to heart,
'Cause I can't stand us bein' apart,
And just to show how much I really miss ya,

(chorus)
Every light in the house is on,
The back yard's bright as the crack of dawn,
The front walk looks like runway lights,

Once in a lifetime You'll open up your heart
Maybe once in your lifetime
You'll swear to never be apart
You think your love's on solid ground
Then out of the blue, it all comes tumblin' down
Chorus
Who's gonna hold me tonight
When I'm feeling (lonely)
Who's gonna show me the light
'Cause I need to know
With all the things we've got
How can love just stop
Tell Me

Well boys I hate to leave good company
But my baby just called me on the phone
And from the sound of her voice, I simply have no choice
I left something turned on at home
Well I just put a quarter in the jukebox
And it ain't halfway through my favorite song
But if I don't leave right now my whole place might burn down
'Cause I left something turned on at home

This gettin up early pullin double shifts
Gonna make an old of me long before I ever get rich
But I'm tryin
It's been two years since we finalized
I still aint used to puttin Ex in front of wife
But I'm tryin

Send more money right away
Is pretty much all she has to say when she calls these days
And don't you be late

But all I can do, is all I can do
But I keep on tryin

I can't see you
But I can feel
Like a scar that
Just won't heal
Blue-eyed gypsy
You're still with me
Everywhere I go
Lonely won't leave me alone
You're everywhere I go
Lonely won't leave me alone

Another highway
One more town
I tried to lose you
But you tracked me down
Like the moonlight on a dark night
You're down every winding road
Lonely won't leave me alone

If anybody had told me that anybody'd have a hold on me
I'd say they were out of their mind
But speakin' of crazy, I'm findin' lately
All I want, all I need, all the time is
More of your sweet love
Too much just ain't enough
I never needed a fix like this before
Too strong to resist
I don't know when to quit
Like a kid in a candy store
You keep me comin' back for more

There's no guarantee that we'll see tomorrow
Heaven only knows how long we have
So there's no way I'll ever for one second let you wonder
Just how long my love for you will last
'Til my last breath, 'til I'm called on high
'Til the angels come and I see the light
To the very end, 'til I give in
To the last beat of my heart

When I rode out of Dallas
Chasing down a dream
I thought I knew what I was looking for
But the neon nights have blinded me
'Til I'm lost in Tennessee
Not sure I know who I am anymore... but
There's a girl in Texas
There's a girl in Texas
There's a girl in Texas
That does

You're a truly lovely lady
And you sure light up the night
I'm a lonely man but I'm leaving here alone

Come on in, son, have a seat

Don't mind the screams, don't mind the heat

Its been like this 'round here for a long, long time

We haven't had the chance to meet

But i've heard about you on TV
And i think we're gonna get along just fine

I can't help but notice, you look somewhat surprised

Did you think, son, after what you've done,

The Lord would let you slide?

[chorus]
