There's A Girl In Texas

Carl Jackson - Trace Adkins

© Jansson Music, ASCAP

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 till 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
But 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
I won't try to lie to you about this heart of mine
That I can't give that I don't really own

Cause there's a girl in Texas...

If this dream that I've been chasing ever sets me free
And I wake up and find you don't need me

There's a girl in Texas...
Yes there's a girl in Texas...
Yes there's a girl in Texas that I still love

I Left Something Turned On At Home

John Schweers - Billy Lawson

© Castle Street, ASCAP

Well boys I hate to leave good company
But my baby just called me on the phone
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

It ain't the stove it ain't the heater she's hotter and a whole lot sweeter
And all day long she's been there alone
Right now her arms are open the house is prob'ly smokin'
Cause I left something turned on at home
[ instrumental ]
Hey waitress could you cancel that order
But if it's too late I'll take it to go
Boys I gotta run fore somebody calls 911
Cause I left something turned on at home

It ain't the stove it ain't the heater...

Right now her arms are open the house is prob'ly smokin'
Cause I left something turned on at home
Yeah I left something turned on at home

Every Light In The House

Kent M. Robbins

© Irving Music, BMI

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 you every word to heart cause I can't stand us being apart
And just to show how much I really miss you

Every light in the house is on the backyard's bright as the crack on dawn
The front walk looks like runway light it's kinda like noon in the dead of night
Every light in the house is on just in case you ever do get tired of being gone
Every light in the house is on

If I should ever start forgettin' I'll turn the lights off one by one
So you can see that I agree it's over
But until then I want you to know if you look south you'll see a glow
That's me waitin' at home each night to hold ya

Every light in the house is on the backyard's bright as the crack on dawn
The front walk looks like runway light it's kinda like noon in the dead of night
Every light in the house is on just in case you ever do get tired of being gone

Yeah every light in the house is on...

This Ain't No Thinkin' Thing

Tim Nichols - Mark D. Sanders

© Blackwood Music, BMI

I've been thinkin' bout our love situation
All this attraction in the present tense
I reached the only illogical 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
There ain't no rhyme or reason why
Cause this ain't this ain't no thinkin' thing
[ instrumental ]
Forget mathematical equations self-help psychology
Gray matter don't matter much darlin'
When it's gettin' down to you and me

Oh this ain't no thinkin' thing...
[ instrumental ]
There's nothin' that we need to analyze...
This ain't no this ain't no thinkin' thing
This ain't no thinkin' thing oh no
[ steel ]
No this ain't this ain't no thinkin' thing
This ain't no thinkin' thing ain't no thinkin' thing girl
This ain't no thinkin' thing baby
This ain't this ain't no thinkin' thing

Dreamin' Out Loud

Michael Smotherman - Buddy Blackmon - Carl Jackson

© Blackwood Music, BMI

Pardon me mister it was my mistake
I gotta be more careful in a crowd
If you caught me talkin' to someone you can't see
Don't mind me I'm dreamin' out loud

I can't help wondering what did I do wrong
To lose the only one I care about
I can't stop living in the used to be
Don't mind me I'm dreamin' out loud

All I hear is her whisper my name
All I see is her hair tumble down
When I feel the touch of her hand in mine
I find I'm dreamin' out loud

Well I'd better be going got some place to be
I know she's somewhere in this town
And until I find her and she comes back to me
I'll be dreamin' out loud

All I hear is her whisper my name...
I'm dreamin' out loud

If I Fall (You're Goin' With Me)

Walt Aldridge - William Robinson

© Longitude Music, BMI

I don't know what you had in mind when you whispered those words to me
Maybe some fun maybe someone to be with temporarily
But if you keep making me feel this good when ever I'm close to you
It's only fair that I make you aware of what you're bout to get in to

If I fall you're goin' with me
It's a long way down and I ain't about to go it alone
If I give all my heart you better get ready
Girl cause you're goin' with me if I fall

Now I'm not sayin' it's all your fault but what's a man supposed to do
Tryin' to play it safe gets harder every day with a woman like you
Maybe you don't know what dangerous ground that you're walkin' on now
But everytime your lips touch my lips you're closer to finding out

Cause if I fall you're goin' with me...
[ instrumental ]
If I give all my heart you better get ready
Girl cause you're goin' with me if I fall

It Was You

Craig Wiseman - Trey Bruce

© Almo Music, ASCAP

Some people say falling in love is purely chance
The random blend of time and place circumstance
That couldn't be farther from the truth cause with you

It wasn't the stars in the sky that got to me that night
Or the music that we were dancing to
It wasn't the moon up above that had me falling in love
It was more than all those things alone could do it was you

I do believe we're all a part of some greater plan
That only angels in our hearts can understand
Somehow I knew I'd found my place when I saw your face

It wasn't the stars in the sky...
It was you

I Can Only Love You Like A Man

Bernie Nelson - Scott Miller

© Blackwood Music, BMI

From the time you were a baby you had this notion in your head
Someone would come along and sweep you off your feet
Like in all those storybooks you read
Well if you're looking for salvation like some damsel in destress
Girl there ain't no heroes on white horses
At least I ain't seen 'em yet

There ain't no knights in shinin' armor there ain't no never never land
And I won't ever walk on water I can only love you like a man

Now heaven knows I'm no angel just flesh and bone like all the rest
I never clamed to have a halo all I can give you is my best
But I will never try to hurt you or even give you cause to doubt
That my heart is yours forever ain't that what true love's all about

There ain't no knights in shinin' armor...
No I won't ever walk on water no I can only love you like a man

A Bad Way Of Saying Goodbye

Jim McBride - Sam Hogin - Trace Adkins

© Tree Pub, BMI

You left without saying I love you and that makes three days in a row
Now that you're tired of pretending it's time that I let you know
I don't disagree with your feelings we both need to find a new life
But this ain't the way we should end it it's a bad way of saying goodbye

There must be a better way of saying it's over
Where nobody walks away with tears in their eyes
When you stay till regret is all you have left
That's a bad way of saying goodbye
[ instrumental ]
When I think of you I'll remember how you looked at me when we met
But the way that you're looking at me now I'll do my best to forget
It's not your fault but it's not mine we both made mistakes though we tried
So leaving without saying I'm sorry is a bad way of saying goodbye

There must be a better way of saying it's over...
That's a bad way of saying goodbye
