SOMEBODY LIKE YOU
(John Shanks - Keith Urban)
« © '02 WB Music, ASCAP »
There's a new wind blowing like I've never known
I'm breathing deeper than I've ever done
And it sure feels good to finally feel the way I do
And I wanna love somebody love somebody like you
And I'm lettin' go of all my lonely yesterdays
I've forgiving myself for the mistakes I've made
Now there's just one thing the only thing I wanna do
I wanna love somebody love somebody like you
Yeah I wanna feel the sunshine shinin' down on me and you
When you put your arms around me
You let me know there's nothing in this world I can't do
I used to run in circles going nowhere fast
I'd take one step forward end up two steps back
I couldn't walk a straight line even if I wanted to
I wanna love somebody love somebody like you
Oh here we go now
[ guitar ]
Yeah I wanna feel the sunshine...
Sometimes it's hard for me to understand
But you're teachin' me to be a better man
I don't want to take this life for granted like I used to do no no
I wanna love somebody love somebody like you
I'm ready to love somebody love somebody like you
And I wanna love somebody love somebody like you
[ guitar ]
Hey I wanna love you baby

WHO WOULDN'T WANNA BE ME
(Monty Powell - Keith Urban)
« © '02 Universal Music »
I got no money in my pockets I got a hole in my jeans
I had a job and I lost it but it won't get to me
Cause I'm riding with my baby and it's a brand new day
We're on the wheels of an angel flying away
And the sun is shining and this road keeps winding
Through the prettiest country from Georgia to Tennessee
And I got the one I love beside me my troubles behind me
I'm alive and I'm free who wouldn't wanna be me
Now she's strumming on my six-string across her pretty knees
She's stomping out a rhythm and singing to me the sweetest song
The sun is shining and this road keeps winding...
[ guitar ]
The sun's shining and this road's still winding...
I got no money in my pockets I got a hole in my jeans
We're on the wheels of an angel and I'm free
She's strumming on my six string it's across her pretty knees
She's stomping out a rhythm and singing to me

WHENEVER I RUN
(John Shanks - Shelly Peiken - Keith Urvan)
« © '02 Peermusic »
I've seen that darkness on the edge of town
The sun come up and the rain fall down
And I've been a fool yeah I've been a clown
And when the world got too much for me
I took off and left a memory
Thinking I'd find something better for me somehow oh but now
Whenever I run instead of running into the blue I follow my heart
And there in your arms is where I find the love I need
And the best is yet to come baby you're the one I run to
I used to quit when it got too tough
Throw in my cards when I was down on my luck
But baby you mean too much to me
So now whenever I run instead of running into...
I never could stay in one place too long I never could stand that still
Ah but you charged so much in me and now I know I will
I'm gonna stay where the love is right I'm so tired of being a bird in flight
Good love takes work ah but that's alright that's alright
Whenever I run instead of running into...
You're the only one instead of running into the blue
I follow my heart and there in your arms
That's where I find the love I need
And the best is yet to come baby you're the one I run to
The one I run to the one I run to oh

WHAT ABOUT ME
(Rodney Crowell - Keith Urban)
« © '02 Milene Music, ASCAP / Coburn Music, BMI »
I'm living in a world that won't stop pulling on me
I'm not complaining but it's true
It's like I owe my time to everyone else
Cause that's all I seem to do
You might not notice but I need a good friend
Someone to talk to when I'm down down down
There's so much on my mind that I wanna get out
But there's no one around
Sometimes I can't help thinking what about me
Some days go by that I don't even see
Yeah I'm doing everything right and I can't break free
Oh is this the way it's always gonna be what about me
Well I'm dreaming I'm on a highway with the windows down
I'm burning up the road at my own speed
But I'm stuck here going nowhere in this traffic jam
And there's a woman with her kids in the car next to me
And I swear she's singin'
Sometimes I can't help thinking what about me...
[ guitar ]
Oh sometimes I can't help thinking what about me...
Oh what about me hey what about me

YOU'LL THINK OF ME
(Darrell Brown - Ty Lacy - Dennis Matkosky)
« © '02 PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
I woke up early this morning round four a.m.
With the moon shining bright as headlights on the interstate
I pulled the covers over my head and tried to catch some sleep
But thoughts of us kept keepin' me awake
Ever since you found yourself in someone else's arms
I've been tryin' my best to get along
But that's OK there's nothing left to say
But take your records take your freedom
Take your memories I don't need 'em
Take your space and take your reasons but you'll think of me
And take your cat and leave my sweater
Cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact I'll feel a whole lot better
But you'll think of me you'll think of me
I went out driving tryin' to clear my head
I tried to sweep out all the ruins that my emotions left
I guess I'm feeling just a little tired of this
And all the baggage that seems to still exist
It seems the only blessing I have left to my name
Is not knowing what we could have been what we should have been
So take your records take your freedom...
Someday I'm gonna run across your mind don't worry I'll be fine
I'm gonna be alright
While you're sleeping with your pride wishing I could hold you tight
I'll be over you and on with my life
So take your records take your freedom...
So take your records take your freedom...
And you're gonna think of me oh yeah
Oh someday baby someday think of me

JEANS ON
(Roger Greenaway - David Dundas)
« © '76 Air-Edel Associates »
When I wake up in the morning light
I pull on my jeans and I feel alright
I pull my blue jeans on I pull my old blue jeans on
I pull my blue jeans on I pull my old blue jeans on
It's the weekend and I know that you're free
So pull on your jeans and come on out with me
Cause I need to have you near me I need to have you close to me
I need to have you near me I need to have you close to me
You and me will go motorbike ridin'
In the sun and the wind and the rain
I got money in my pocket I got tiger in my tank
And I'm king of the road again
I meet you in the usual place
You don't need the things sure pretty face
I pull my blue jeans on I pull my old blue jeans on
I pull my blue jeans on I pull my old blue jeans on
Ah here we go
[ dobro - guitar ]
You and me will go motorbike ridin'...
When I wake up in the moonlit night
I pull on my jeans and I feel alright
Hey I pull my blue jeans on I pull my old blue jeans on
I pull my blue jeans on I pull my old blue jeans on
I pull my blue jeans on I pull my old blue jeans on

YOU LOOK GOOD IN MY SHIRT
(Tom Shapiro - Tony Martin - Mark Nesler)
« © '02 ATV Songs, BMI »
When you walked up behind me and cowered my eyes
And whispered in my ear guess who
I rattled off names like I really didn't know
But all along I knew it was you
And the longer we talked the more we laughed
And wondered why we didn't last
It had been a long time but later last night
Baby we caught up real fast
And maybe it's a little too early to know if this is gonna work
All I know is you're sure looking good in my shirt
That's right
[ guitar ]
You look good in my shirt
Well now I'm not saying that we solved overnight
Every way that we went wrong
Oh but what I'm seeing I'd sure love seeing
Every morning from now on
And maybe it's a little too early...
[ guitar ]
And maybe it's a little too early...

YOU'RE NOT ALONE TONIGHT
(Keith Urban)
« © '00 Coburn Music, BMI »
We all drink to forget some of us more than most
When reality gets too real and the fires of hell too close
But I'm here to let you know that you can make it through
If you believe that someone's watching over you
Call it an angel call it a muse
And call it karma that you've got comin' to you
What's the difference what's in a name
What matters most is never ever losing faith
Cause it's gonna be alright you're not alone tonight
We all have out days when nothing goes as planned
Not a soul in the world seems to understand
And for someone to talk to you'd give anything
Well go on and cry out loud cause someone's listening
Yeah call it an angel call it a muse...
Keep your faith alive you're not the only one
Yeah call it an angel call it a muse...
Oh you can cry if you want to go on

YOU WON
(Rodney Crowell - Keith Urban)
« © '02 Milene Music, ASCAP / Coburn Music, BMI »
There was a world outside my door I wasn't in touch with anymore
There was a way I used to feel I knew what was and wasn't real
You built a bridge I tore it down I felt safe on shaky ground
And I was a master of despair making believe I didn't care
I shouldn't be standing here today after all the crazy things I've done
I'm ready to fall and that's okay I ran as far as I could run and you won
Out of a world turned upside down it took some time to come around
Out of a dream you made me whole you lit a fire down in my soul
I shouldn't be standing here today...
[ guitar ]
I shouldn't be standing here today...
You won and I thought I knew what I was doing I thought I was in control
I thought nobody could slow me down but what did I know
I was just a kid a motherless child
No one to watch over me I was running wild
Free of all responsibility till my life
And my love for myself caught up with me
Yeah it caught up with me and now I'm yes I am so ready

SONG FOR DAD
(Keith Urban)
« © '00 Coburn Music, BMI »
Lately I've been noticin' I say the same things he used to say
And I even find myself actin' the very same way
I tap my fingers on the table to the rhythm in my soul
And I jingle the car keys when I'm ready to go
When I look in the mirror he's right there in my eyes
Staring back at me and I realize
The older I get the more I can see
How much he loved my mother and my brother and me
And he did the best that he could
And I only hope when I have my own family
Everyday I see a little more of my father in me
There were times I thought he was bein' just a little bit hard on me
But now I understand he was making me
Become the man he knew that I could be
In everything he ever did he always did with love
And I'm proud today to say I'm his son
When somebody says I hope I get to meet your dad
I just smile and say you already have
The older I get the more I can see...
He's in my eyes my heart my soul my hands my pride
And when I feel alone and I think I can't go on
I hear him sayin' son you'll be alrigt
Everything's gonna be alright
The older I get the more I can see...

RAINING ON SUNDAY
(Radney Foster - Darrell Brown)
« © '98 PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
It ticks just like a Timex never lets upon you
Who said life was easy the job is never through
It'll run us till we're ragged it'll harden our hearts
And love could use a day of rest before we both start falling apart
Pray that it's raining on Sunday storming like crazy
We'll hide under the covers all afternoon
Baby whatever comes Monday can take care of itself
Cause we've got better things that we can do
When it's raining on Sunday
Your love is like religion a cross in Mexico
Your kiss is like the incense of a prayer nailed to the door
Surrender is much sweeter when we both let go
Let the water wash our bodies clean and love wash our soul
Pray that it's raining on Sunday...
[ guitar ]
Pray that it's raining on Sunday...

YOU'RE NOT MY GOD
(Paul Jefferson - Keith Urban)
« © '99 Coburn Music, BMI / Fired Guns Publishing, BMI /
Guitar Monkey Music, BMI / Illegal Songs, BMI »
It's just a piece of paper it says In God We Trust
A little sure felt good but a lot was not enough
And everybody loved me when I was on a roll
And I thought I had everything when I held the gold
But you're not my God and you're not my friend
You're not the one that I will walk with in the end
You're not the truth you're a temporary shot
You ruin people's lives and you don't give a second thought
You're not my God
Little white lies on the mirror cut neatly in a row
Medicine that kept me from lookinG in my soul
I thought you were the answer to all of my despair
And you almost had me six feet down but I'm still breathing air
But you're not my God...
[ banjo ]
From the cradle to the grave temptations all around
But no matter how good the fix it's gonna take you down
Now some call it a weakness some call it a sin
But it's all the same behind each game I see your evil grin
But you're not my God...
No you're not my God...
