Blue Kentucky highway, headin' for the line
She hadn't said a word all night, But the wheels are turnin' in her mind Now I was ridin' shotgun, And I knew things had gone awry Just as soon as she dropped me off At the side of the road And she let that gravel fly CHORUS Now I'm walkin' in the moonlight, Seein' nothin' but the taillights And that's a pair of taillights I may never see again She hit me with the left and right, Showin' me nothin' but the taillights And that's about as lonely As the highway's ever been Back here with my thumb out in the wind Was it somethin' that I did to her, Or the things I never said I wonder if the way we were was only in my head Now if I even make it back to town Before the sun comes up I'm gonna hit every parking spot around 'Til I find that pick-up truck CHORUS Now I'm talkin' in the moonlight Seein' nothin' but the taillights And that's a pair of taillights I may never see again She hit me with the left and right Showin' me nothin' but the taillights And that's about as lonely As a highway's ever been Stuck here with my thumb out in the wind Well I'll bet right now she's laughin' At how she brought me to my knees But she won't be laughin' half as loud When she gives me back my keys CHORUS She'll be walkin' in the moonlight, Seein' nothin' but the taillights And that's a pair of taillights She won't ever see again She hit me with a left and right And with nothin' but the taillights And I know that's about as lonely As a highway's ever been Back here with my thumb out in the wind There she goes, here I come |

The older you get the more you stand to lose
You can bet that we'll all have our turn And if I lost everything right down to my shoes As long as you love me I won't be concerned (Chorus) There's one thing in life that I can't replace It's written in ways even time can't erase Some things really are too good to be true That something in my life is you I spent my time on money and things That won't do a heart any good With nothing to gain but the space that it brings It had always been empty til I understood (Repeat Chorus) One thing's for certain and without a doubt Your love is something I can't live without Some things really are too good to be true That something in my life One thing in my life That something in my life is you |

Clint Black & Alison Krause & Union Station
(Clint Black / Shake Russell) Long ago with a younger partner Always in love but a love for sure Their hearts were lost out in the shuffle Of a hook and wings on a sawdust floor. Now they hold their own out on the liners They're always prime for something slow And you won't find them changin' partners Love will keep in step keepin' up with a country set It's our kind of love I'll bet They're together everywhere they go. Now they're on in years and they don't need a reason All the lights are on for the same old thing When they call Let's dance, their song will still be playin' Til' the end of time their love'll be in full swing. And they hold their own out on the liners They're always prime for something slow And you won't find them changin' partners Love will keep in step keepin' up with a country set It's our kind of love I'll bet They're together everywhere they go. Love will keep in step keepin' up with a country set It's our kind of love I'll bet They're together everywhere they go It's our kind of love I'll bet they're together everywhere they go. --- Instrumental to fade --- |

No one's gonna jerk me around
When I get my feet on the ground I'm gonna hit it runnin Gonna call it a day See, a little bit of tension Goes a long, long way The boss man has got mine in a sling But I'll be swingin when I loosen up my strings Every night when the sun goes down You won't find me hangin around I'm in loco-motion like a rock out on roll I'm nobody's puppet I'm out of control The boss man has got mine in a sling But I'll be swingin when I loosen up my... Now, when it comes to getting down And I'm always keepin track I don't need some yo-yo takin up my slack The boss man has got mine in a sling But I'll be swingin when I loosen up my strings Yeah, he'll have a line on me til my fat lady sings But I'll be swingin while I loosen up my strings Yeah, we'll all be swingin while I loosen up my strings Hey, we'll all be swingin when I loosen up my strings |

Clint Black & Martina Mcbride
There's something out there left for you But it's not me We've reached a point of no return It's only right to set you free I know I have to turn away But there's nowhere for my love to go And there won't come a day When I won't honor what we've had But I'll go on with my life We can even say goodbye for now if If that's what we have to do Here in my heart Even when my arms are empty Darling, I'm still holding onto you We can't deny that this one's out of our control Stronger than the both of us And bound to take its toll I can stand the test of time And as far as I can see There are no walls that we can't climb Standing between you and me But I'll go on with my life We can even say goodbye for now if If that's what we have to do Here in my heart Even when my arms are empty Darling, I'm still holding onto you There's a place you'll always be No matter where you are you're here with me When the world is turning upside down Together we will stand our ground We can even say goodbye for now if If that's what we have to do Here in my heart Even when my arms are empty Darling, I'm still holding onto you I'm still holding onto you I'm still holding onto you When I'm gone When I'm gone, I'm holding on |

I remember well the day we wed
I can see that picture in my head I still believe the words we said Forever will ring true Love is certain, Love is kind Love is yours and love is mine But it isn't something that we find It's something that we do It's holding tight, It's lettin go It's flying high and laying low It lets your strongest feelings show And your weakness too It's a little and a lot to ask An endless and a welcome task Love isn't something that we have It's something that we do We help to make each other all that we can be Though we can find our strength and inspiration independently The way we work together is what sets our love apart So closely that we can't tell where I end and where you start It gives me heart remembering how We started with a simple vow There's so much to look back on now And still it feels brand new We're on a road that has no end And each day we begin again Love's not just something that we're in It's something that we do We help to make each other all that we can be Though we can find our strength and inspiration independently The way we work together is what sets our love apart So closely that we can't tell where I end and where you start Love is wide, Love is long Love is deep and Love is strong Love is why I love this song And I hope you love it too I remember well the day we wed I can see that picture in my head Love isn't just those words we said It's something that we do There's no request Too big or small We give ourselves We give our all Love isn't some place that we fall... It's something that we do |

We've all seen enough wrong and right
To know everything's not black and white There's always something in between No matter how long or well you live You don't get anything you don't give Still no slate is clean For better or worse, anybody can Take a look around and find a better man Upright no matter how he's faring No matter what kind of shoes he's wearing The shoes he's wearing They don't make the man So many people out running around Handicapped before they hit the ground Thinking there's nowhere to go Shouldn't we all be looking for ways To keep on seeing our better days We're not chained to what we know But if your eyes are open and your mind is free There's no tellin' what a man can be Upright no matter how you're faring No matter what kind of shoes you're wearing The shoes you're wearing They don't make the man But if you can't walk through the best of times and the worst of times Find your feet still walking the line You'll never carry the load worth bearing No matter what kind of shoes you're wearing The shoes you're wearing They won't make the man The shoes you're wearing They won't make the man |

Holdin' on, safely to fall
Like there's no tomorrow forsaking it all Bound and determined to share all of our days Loving and learning our special ways That I'm holdin' onto and you've been lettin' go And wherever you've gone to I'm so far below You're way over me I can't even see how Someday I'll need you the way you don't need me now Movin' on, heart in a stall Like there's no tomorrow, no beating at all Bound and determined to forget all of our days Reliving and learning our special ways I'm still holdin' onto, maybe no lettin' go And wherever you've gone to I may never know The way you're over me I can't even see how Someday I'll need you the way you don't need me now And you don't need me now Like you needed me then And I'm wondering how I'll be feeling when I'm way over you I can't even see how Someday I'll need you the way you don't need me now No way I'll need you the way you don't need me now... |

I'm just out of the light
I hadn't caught her eye But I think I might be lovin' her I just stepped outta the door Gotta be a fool to wanna go one more For the way we were For the good times, how many times I'm losin' track Everybody goes, everybody knows It's gone, don't look back There's no love in the space I've gained I could burn my bridges through a pourin' rain No matter how far or hard I ride I can't outrun what I feel inside Tell me, who do you see See me running 'round, and you think I'm free From the way we hurt Well I don't mean bodily harm When it comes to the heart, it's a free alarm You gotta be alert For the good times, how many lines I'm losin' slack It's the way to go, everybody knows If you don't look back There's no love in the space I've gained I could burn my bridges through a pourin' rain No matter how far or hard I ride I can't outrun what I feel inside I never mind what I think I know I'm getting nowhere everywhere I go There's no love in the space I've gained I could burn my bridges through a pourin' rain No matter how far or hard I ride I can't outrun what I feel inside... |

Communications are down all over town
People tryin to get through some will never get an answer But I've already found a way to get through to you It comes in gentle and clear I'm still the same romancer And you know what I'm thinkin if I have to tell you myself I can never let you wonder what I want you to believe And there isn't any wonder at how lucky I am From the smile that I'm wearin and the heart out on my sleeve (Chorus) Everybody thinks they know me I don't doubt that it's true I've never been one to put up many walls There's so much of me they'll never know not the way you do When it comes to me you know it all I've seen all of the signs and all the changing of minds And signals gettign crossed and the killing seeds are planted But those could never grow out of things that we know Like the vows that we made we can always take for granted While everyone else is losin groung you know where I stand Forsakin everyone but you to reap the love we sow And one thing everybody knows is I'm a man of my word And you and I have places that I'll never let them go while (Repeat Chorus) My life has been an open book til you walked in And turned a page I never saw You found a side of me that even I could never see When it comes to me you know it all Still everybody thinks they know me I don't doubt that it's true I'm still not one to put up many walls Cause there's so much of me they'll never know not the way you do When it comes to me you know it all |

(Clint Black/Hayden Nicholas)
When I bought this guitar it had brand new strings Brand new strap all those things Brand new picks both thumb and flat All the elementary things like that I went ahead and took it everywhere I went Couldn't count the hours that I must have spent I heard the girl was lookin' for a guitar man I'll ablidge her anyway I can 'Cause I can win her over Like Romeo did Juliet If I can only show her I can learn to pick that Figato lick like Chet It'll take more than Mel Bay 1, 2, & 3 If I'm ever gonna play like CGP My legato is staccato but what I don't fret Is droppin' any note that I don't get 'Cause I can win her over Like Romeo did Juliet If I can only show her I can learn to pick that Figato lick like Chet I can win her over Like Romeo did Juliet If I can only show her I can almost pick that Figato lick like Chet |

She asked me how love gets along
with me all by myself Wonders how I keep from getting dust upon that shelf She wanted to know how a man like me ends up alone, anyway 'Was I breakin' all the rules of love and the games that people play I said not too many hangin' round of all the ones I meet In time they always find that I'm on the bitter side of sweet She huddled on the gate on my block where I always catch my bus An' I hoped it wouldn't stop today, there'd just be the two of us But it showed up like it always does, about twenty minutes late I told her it'd be right along but she said she couldn't wait She didn't need any assistance in putting some distance, between us on that empty street She was of a mind, in record time that I'm on the bitter side of sweet That I act this was is really not my fault It just means all the sweet things I've got to say Come along with a grain of salt (instrumental) It's no wonder I'm not scoring points, I'm always out of bounds If any wise willed words convince the point, I'm foolish by the pound An' a fool can see no one believes what's rollin' off my tongue An' I've never seen a recipe for sweet talkin' anyone I could have written a book on the lessons I took in the agony of defeat An showed you all the signs between the lines on the bitter side of sweet |
