Hearts and Horizons
Raining Down In Nashville
I got a telephone call, the kind you never want to get
By the time I put the phone down my face and shirt were wet
I was in the car, and I had to pull, right over
I cried, tears in my eyes on the hard shoulder
A cop pulled in behind and walked up to the window
He tapped on the glass and said you can’t stop here you gotta go
I told him what happened, he said he was sorry, to hear
But you gotta move on, you gotta move on you can’t stop here
CH: You gotta move on, you’re gone
Now the neon’s lost its sparkle and the broadway ain’t so bright
You gotta move on, you’re gone
And I know it’s gonna rain in Nashville tonight
I don’t know how I got home, driving in a daze
I don’t know I got through, all arrangements had been made
The cemetery gates, are closing but, I can’t leave
The preacher said go home, you gotta go home, let them rest in peace
Lie For Your Love
Turn your eyes away from me, baby
Cos I am not the one you seek,
Whatever it is you think you see
Is a long long way off reality
Don't listen to anything I’m telling you, baby
When you hear my voice just walk away
Stop hanging on my every word
Don't believe whatever you just heard
CH: Cos I’d say anything I think you’d want to hear
And I’d do everything just to keep you near
I’d cheat and lie, steal and cry
I’d double cross your lines in a heartbeat
I’d do anything to make you mine
And that’s the only true thing about me
Your mouth can't trust the lips they're kissing, baby
Your hands can’t trust the touch of my skin
Don't believe your senses
And don’t take down your fences to let me in
I would kill all sense of right or wrong, baby
I would steal you away from anyone
I would swear to God above
but then I’d turn around and lie to you for your love
That’s How We Roll
If the sun is shining bright we just put our ray bans on
If it's rain and thunder we just raise umbrellas and enjoy the storm
If the fish ain't biting then we don't cry, just sit on the riverbank and watch the world go by
If my girl ain't coming around tonight I'll just watch the game
If she changes her mind well that's just fine we can set the bed aflame
But if she just feels like holding hands and talking, we can go for a drive
Cos we’re country, with country hearts and soul and that's how we roll
CH: Hell yeah, that’s how we roll
We just bend with the breeze and go with the flow
We work and die, laugh and cry, love and let love go
Hell yeah, that’s how we roll
When it’s time to work we put our heads down and just get to it
When it’s time to play there ain’t no shame if we completely overdo it
But when it’s time to rest, to leave the stress behind, you’ll find us taking it nice and slow
When there’s a life to live then we just get right on with it
When it’s time to die, we cry then we move on over it
Cos the wheel keeps turning round and around, we get one spin only that’s how it goes
Cos we’re country, with country hearts and soul and that’s how we roll
Too Used To Living Alone
I’m used to living alone but I don’t like being lonely
I’m not looking that hard but I’d love to find someone to hold me
Who could fill the big hole in my world and the space in my bed
But instead, I’m getting too used to living alone
I guess the internet’s taken the place of a bar at the weekend
I can hook-up with suitable strangers twenty four seven
And I’ve met some nice profiles and I’ve had some instant deletes
The bitter and sweet, I’m getting too used to living alone
CH: I want somebody, who knows where I came from
Who knows all the same songs as me
Who gets what I’m saying, who needs no explaining
Someone just happy to be
So if you’re out there come find me, you’ll recognise me
I’ll be in your comfort zone
But don’t leave it too long, I’m getting too used to living alone
I leave a light in the bedroom and the TV on when I go out
So when I come home it’s like someone is there in the house
But when I open the front door nobody’s waiting to greet me
Just a voice on the TV, I’m getting too used to living alone
