Halo

Luke Laird - Jedd Hughes

© Bambatown Pub, BMI

Let's just cut it down the middle let it bleed and bleed out
I'll clean up the mess baby you stand there and shout
Cry cry baby I can't hold us together

Paint me in a corner cover me with rage
I'll take it like a circus lion silent in my cage
Cry cry baby I can't change the weather

Baby I'll let go when you say so try to let your heart fly free
I'll crawl out of my cradle down into my black hole
And you just lay low under your halo

I'll slip into the back room fall onto your cast
Almost out of focus like a faded photograph
Cry cry baby I'm all out of answers

Baby I'll let go when you say so
Try to let your heart fly free
I'll crawl out of my cradle down into my black hole
And you just lay low under your halo

Baby I'll let go when you say so try to let your heart fly free...

Right Back Atcha Babe

Joe West - Dave Pahanish

© Tree Pub, BMI

That night in Phoenix when you stole my Jeep
Then you brought it home with a new stereo
Baby that was sweet oh and how can I forget the day
You gave me my red guitar the best gift by far was you babe
I'm sending all that love that you gave

Right back at you babe right back at you babe
Just like a boomerang everything good you threw my way
Right back at you babe best that you get ready
There's a whole lot of loving that's gonna be coming
Right back at you babe

First things first I want you to close your eyes
This may not even come close
To that first kiss you gave me but I'm gonna try
Oh and here's that ring you've been waiting for all these years
As for the tears that you've cried when we made love the first time
Yeah I see ya cry

Right back at you babe right back at you babe...
Aw look out here it come whoo

Well if what comes around goes around
You've got it made yeah you've got it made

Right back at you babe right back at you babe...
Yeah right back at you babe right back at you babe yeah

One Part Two Part

Dee Ervine

© Sweet River Music, BMI

with Faith Hill

Your love for me it didn't last long
One part right and two parts wrong
One part love two parts pain
One part sunshine two parts rain

My friends told me you were slipping away
I smiled and said I don't believe what you say
As long as they'll always be birds in the sky
Your love your love for me baby will never ever die
Oh darling

Your love for me crumbling down
One part truth and two parts lie
One part rock and two parts sand
One part stay and two parts ran

When you took one step I take two
I'm trying my best to hold onto you
But love can't be love without some give and take
And loving you too much was my greatest mistake
Oh darling

Oh the love that's in you is all that I need
But you just give one third to me
And all of your sweetness wouldn't last much longer
And if I had it all I would be much stronger
Oh darling

Your love for me. It didn't last long
One part right and two parts wrong
One part love two parts pain
One part sunshine two parts rain

Your love for me crumbling down
One part truth and two parts lie
One part rock and two parts sand
One part stay and baby two parts ran
Oh one part stay and two parts ran

I Will Not Fall Down

Brad Warren - Brett Warren - Tim McGraw - Martina McBride

© Blackwood Music, BMI

No one wants to think about getting older
They try to push you out before it's over
The same world that lifts you up can put you in your place

What they call progress will never wait for me
And I should probably just go out quietly
But I've still got something left something left to say

I will not fall down I will not fall down
I will not fall down without getting up
That's when I need your love

Second guessing is just a waste of time
I still remember how it feels to fly
And I'm still flying I'm still flying
I'm still flying and

I will not fall down I will not fall down
I will not fall down without getting up
That's when I need your love

You can't live this way we will find our way

I will not fall down I will not fall down
I will not fall down without getting up
I will not fall down I will not fall down
I will not fall down without getting up
I will not fall down I will not fall down
I will not fall down without getting up
That's when I need your love

The One

Brad Warren - Brett Warren - Angie Aparo

© Blackwood Music, BMI

Ferris wheel parking lot leather jacket acid rock
Black light poster seventeen cherry lipstick dairy queen

That's what I think of when I think of your love
That's right that's the kind of you I kinda need tonight
Life is a battle don't think I can handle it
Without getting back to the one the one I want to run to
Cause you're the one that makes me feel like I'm the one

Bought a castle underneath the power lines
Paper flowers still make you cry
Trampolines holding hands
We're still jumping at every chance

That's what I think of when I think of your love...

I wonder where I'd be today if you ever walked away
I wonder I wonder

The one I want to run to
Cause you're the one that makes me feel like I'm the one
The one I want to run to
Cause you're the one that makes me feel like I'm
The one that makes you feel like you're
The one that makes me feel like I'm the one

Better Than I Used To Be

Bryan Simpson - Ashley Gorley

© How Bout That Skyline Music, BMI

I know how to hold a grudge I can send a bridge up in smoke
And I can't count the people I've let down the hearts I've broke
You ain't gotta dig too deep if you wanna find some dirt on me
I'm learning who you've been ain't who you've got to be
It's gonna be an uphill climb aw honey I won't lie

I ain't no angel I still got a few more dances with the devil
I'm cleaning up my act little by little I'm getting there
I can finally stand the man in the mirror I see
I ain't as good as I'm gonna get but I'm better than I used to be

I've pinned a lot of demons to the ground I've got a few old habits left
But there's still one or two I might need you to help me get
Standing in the rain so long has left me with a little rust
But put some faith in me and someday you'll see
There's a diamond under all this dust

I ain't no angel I still got a few more dances with the devil...
I ain't no angel I still got a few more dances with the devil...

Touchdown Jesus

Dallas Davidson - Ben Hayslip - Rhett Akins

© Blackwood Music, BMI

I dusted off my Bible today
Read the words in red yeah every word He said
He talked about forgiveness and a better way
I raised my hands above my head and I said

Touchdown Jesus touchdown Jesus

There was a little girl just down the street
They were praying for a miracle but running outta hope
Some stranger was an angel and he gave her what she needed
You oughta see her today that was ten years ago

Touchdown Jesus touchdown Jesus

That's just another story wrote away
All He needs is just a little bit of your faith
And it's touchdown Jesus touchdown Jesus

The old man was losing his battle with the liquor
Ruined his name and brought his family shame and pain
Then he stumbled into church one day and he found something bigger
Beat the devil at his own game and he poured him down the drain yeah

Touchdown Jesus touchdown Jesus

That's just another story wrote away
All He needs is just a little bit of your faith
And it's touchdown Jesus oh touchdown Jesus

That little girl turned twenty one today
That old man well he found himself a better way
Touchdown Jesus touchdown Jesus
Touchdown Jesus touchdown Jesus
Hey touchdown Jesus oh touchdown Jesus

Yeah there's a single mom at her kid's graduation
(Touchdown Jesus)
There's a sinner on his knees down in front of the congregation
(Touchdown Jesus)

Oh touchdown Jesus oh touchdown Jesus
Come on touchdown Jesus (touchdown Jesus)

The One That Got Away

Joe West - Dave Pahanish

© Tree Pub, BMI

You got your head in your supper
And the eyes of your mother baby locked on you
Everybody wants a piece of you oh yeah
And your phone keeps ringing
Cause your cousin's singing at the local bar
Everybody wants to be a star just like you are

You kept your face in the gutter for years
Kept your eyes on the road
You always felt you were meant for more
Baby now you know

Everybody wants a glimpse of the one that got away
Everybody wants to see you
And everybody wants to be you too
It's funny how they put you down
But now they think you're alright
And everybody loves you now that
You're the one that got away
(The one that got away)

See you were raised in the town
Where the kids hang around the Pizza Hut parking lot
Everybody talks a lot no one likes to do no
And all the cub scout leaders at the local theaters
Said you couldn't sing a song that well
You told ‘em all to go to hell
And went out on your own

You got a head shot picture to
Sell yourself to the world
You tucked your scars up under your dress
Like an American girl

Everybody wants a glimpse of the one that got away...
Everybody wants a glimpse of the one that got away...
Everybody wants a glimpse of the one that got away...
(The one that got away)

Felt Good On My Lips

Brett Beavers - Jim Beavers - Brad Warren - Brett Warren

© Blackwood Music, BMI

Said her name was a hand me down name
From the side of a family that long ago came
Over here on a boat from somewhere in Spain
Sounded to me just a little bit strange I guess
But I have to admit it felt good on my lips

She tipped the DJ to play her favorite song
A Spanish little number that was a rocking on strong
She grabbed me by the sleeve and said Let's go and get it on
By the second chorus I was singing right along with it
I don't know what it meant but it felt good on my lips

Oh oh oh I I wanna go crazy you can go crazy too
Oh oh oh I I wanna go crazy I wanna go crazy with you
Everybody saying whoa how sweet it is
Whoa yeah it felt good on my lips

She ordered us a drink it was a purple kind of pink
She said it's got a shot of a little bit of everything
Mellow yellow umbrella for a fella like me
It was just a bit mellow for me to be seen with
But I took a sip yeah it felt good on my lips

Oh oh oh I I wanna go crazy you can go crazy too...

When the lights came on and they hollered last call
I was busy getting lost in her cherry lip gloss
In a little corner booth eye to eye no talk
She leaned in close and gave me one long
And wet goodnight goodbye kiss and it felt good on my lips

Whoa how sweet it is whoa yeah it felt good on my lips
Whoa how sweet it is whoa yeah it felt good on my lips

Hey Now

Brett Beavers - Jim Beavers - Brad Warren - Brett Warren

© Blackwood Music, BMI

On a night like this ain't what I'm looking for
The music's slow and the beer is warm
You came in the room put that record on
Started grooving to that funky song

And I said hey now it don't seem that late now
I thought the party was winding down
Hey now look what I just found gonna stay now
Bring the Tanqueray I'll see how this plays out
Until you looked at me
I was just about to leave
I was just about to leave

Watch you dancing there lit the whole place up
Made me wonder where you came from yeah
Some kinda paradise some kind of heaven sent
I know it might be 2 a.m

But hey now it don't seem that late now...

When I saw you going for your keys
Girl I had to ask you if you'd dance with me
Yeah would you dance with me

You said hey now it don't seem that late now
I thought the party was winding down
But hey now look what I just found gonna stay now
Bring the Tanqueray I'll see how this plays out
Until you looked at me I was just about to

Hey now it don't seem that late now
I thought the party was winding down
But hey now look what I just found
Gonna stay now
Bring the Tanqueray I'll see how this plays out
Until you looked at me
I was just about to leave
I was just about to leave

Ooh but hey now hey now oh hey now hey now
Look what I just found look what I just found
Gonna dance gonna dance gonna stay
Gonna do just about everything

Only Human

Ty Lacy - Shaffer Smith - Angie Aparo

© Blackwood Music, BMI

with NeYo

The kiss that never happened
The call that never came
The hurt you mask by laughing
The one that got away
It's all in a day of emotional traffic
Stranded broken and tragic

Finding out you're only human is hard
I want to change the world
But I don't know where to start
And I am bold enough to believe
There is hope among the ruins
Finding out you're only human

I tried to touch the sky
But fell right to the ground
Did my best to fly
But I just kept falling down
So many hopes and dreams shattered
Expectations broken and battered

Finding out you're only human is hard...

Oh human enough to forgive
Oh human enough to embrace
Oh there is hope
I am bold enough to believe
There's hope among the ruins

Finding out you're only human is hard...

Die By My Own Hand

Rivers Rutherford - David Tolliver - Chad Warrix

© Blackwood Music, BMI

Sex in the city Indian food
I've never tried 'em not until you
But it's looking like you left me with some habits I can't break

I feel kinda guilty whenever I cuss
I lay in bed at night and I think about us
Maybe it's because of all the love you taught me how to make

You've changed me baby
Given enough time girl you might've saved me
But then again you might have just gone crazy
Trying to love a music man
Don't worry honey I understand why you went running from me
I guess I really should have seen it coming
I'll always die by own hand

Ran into your daddy last Saturday night
I had to admit it he might've been right
Oh all the times he told me that you're just too good for me

You've changed me baby...
Oh you've changed me baby...

Girl I don't blame you for nothing
I'll always die by my own hand
