I just said no Boy, you come home to me I'm the number one fan of the band from Tennessee Tennessee Well I drank til I stumbled I drank til I fell When the drunk part was over it hurt me like hell Now I know about drinking so I know one things true Being drunk's a lot like loving you Cuz I loved til I stumbled I loved til I fell When the loving was over it hurt me like hell Now I know what a taste of the wrong love can do Being drunk's a lot like loving you And I've woke up some mornings and sworn off the drink At that I've done reasonably well I think But I haven't done well swearing off you and me At that I've felt miserably Well I've felt the hangover of loving all night I've sat at the bar all alone in a fight I've bottled up feelings and poured 'em out too Being drunk's a lot like loving you And I've woke up some mornings and sworn off the drink At that I've done reasonably well I think But I haven't done well swearing off you and me At that I've felt miserably Well I drank til I stumbled I loved til I fell When the drunk part was over love hurt me like hell Now I know about drinking so I know one things true Being drunk's a lot like loving you Though I know what a taste of the wrong love can do Sometimes I still get drunk loving you. You know sometimes me and my lady have these crazy fights And when we do, it makes me wonder if we’re even gonna get it right When I think about leaving, I think about me What my life would be like if I were back to being free Where I wanna go, what I wanna do I wouldn’t have a soul I’d have to answer to When I think about leaving I think about me You know I’ve got a friend and him and his wife just couldn’t see eye to eye He had all he could stand one day and just packed up and said "goodbye" When I think about leaving I think about him And that little apartment ‘cross town he’s living in Got an old Corvette got a new girlfriend but he only sees his kids every other weekend When I think about leaving, oh I think about him I never will forget her face on the day she told me about her dad How he walked out on her mom when she was just a kid When I think about leaving, oh I think about her Only five years old and her heart filled up with hurt With her little arms wrapped around his neck Saying "Daddy where you goin’? Are you comin’ back?" When I think about leaving, oh I think about her You know the truth is most of the time things are really great And I know we’ve got something special When I think about leaving, I think about us How we’re building this love we share on faith and trust The honest way we talk, the tender way we touch All those nights we spent makin’ love When I think about leaving, oh I think about us When I think about leaving, oh I think again Even though that thought crosses my mind every now and then In my heart I know I would never leave There’s nowhere else on earth that I would rather be When I think about leaving, I think again When I think about leaving When I think about leaving When I think about leaving, I think again His old man was a rebel yeller, Bad boy to the bone, he'd say, Can't trust a color'd feller He'd judge em by the tone of their skin, He was raised to think like his dad, Narrow mind and full of hate, On the road to nowhere fast, Till the grace of God got in the way, Then he saw the light, and hit his knees and cried and said a prayer, Rose up a brand new man, left the old one right there, Here's to the strong thanks to the brave, Don't give up hope, some people change, Against all odds, against the grain, Love finds a way, some people change, She was born with her mothers habit, guess you could say it's in her blood, She hates that she's gotta have it, She feels her glass up, She'd love to kill that bottle, But All she could think about is a, Better life a second chance, And everyone she's lettin down, She throws that bottle down, Here's to the strong thanks to the brave, Don't give up hope, some people change, Against all odds, against the grain, Love finds a way, some people change, Thank God for those who make it, Let them be the light, Some people change, Here's to the strong thanks to the brave, Don't give up hope, some people change, Against all odds, against the grain, Love finds a way, some people change, yea Some people change Some people change Some people change Some people change She hit the door, 6:55 Sack full of groceries split down the side Canned goods scattered all the way to the curb Look on her face sayin "don't say a word" So it's me and her and a can of beans Sittin there on the front porch swing A western sky all turnin red Head on my shoulder, she sighed and said I've been gopherin, chaufferin, company chairman Coffee maker, copy repairman Anymore there ain't nothin I swear man That I don't do I been jugglin, strugglin, closin big deals Dancin backwards in high heels Just when it feels like I can't make it through She said, it sure is nice to just be the woman with you She said, the girl I was with a business degree Probably wouldn't recognize me I was gonna run the bank, I was gonna run the math Now all I wanna run is a bubble bath Back then, ya know, I had this plan Before all this reality set in Here come life, boy, ready or not Hey, I wanted it all and that's what I got Cuz I'm gopherin, chaufferin, company chairman Coffee maker, copy repairman Anymore there ain't nothin I swear man That I don't do I been jugglin, strugglin, closin big deals Dancin backwards in high heels Just when it feels like I can't make it through She said, it sure is nice to just be the woman with you She said, I'm gopherin, chaufferin, company chairman Coffee maker, copy repairman Anymore there ain't nothin I swear man That I don't do I been jugglin, strugglin, closin big deals Dancin backwards in high heels Just when it feels like I can't make it through She said, it sure is nice to just be the woman, the woman with you The woman with you Sun tanned toes ticklin the sand Cold drink chillin in my right hand Watchin you sleep in the evening light Restin up for a long, long night Cause when the sun goes down, we'll be groovin When the sun goes down, we'll be feelin all right When the sun sinks down over the water Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down All day long just takin it easy Layin in the hammock where it's nice and breezy Sleepin off the night before Cause when the sun goes down, we'll be back for more When the sun goes down, we'll be groovin When the sun goes down,we'll be feeling alright When the sun sinks down over the water Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down This old guitar and my dark sunglasses This sweet concoction is smooth as molasses Nothing to do but breathe all day Until the big moon rises and it's time to play When the sun goes down, we'll be groovin When the sun goes down,we'll be feeling alright When the sun sinks down over the water Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down Walking along beneath the lights of that miracle mile Me and Mary making our way into the night You can hear the cries from the carnival rides The pin-ball bells and the ski-ball slides Watching the summer sun fall out of sight There's a warm wind coming in from off of the ocean Making its way past the hotel walls to fill the street Mary is holding both of her shoes in her hand Said she likes to feel the sand beneath her feet And in the morning I'm leaving, making my way back to Cleveland So tonight I hope that I will do just fine And I don't see how you could ever be anything but mine There's a local band playing at the seaside pavilion And I got just enough cash to get us in And as we're dancin Mary's wrapping her arms around me And I can feel the sting of summer on my skin In the midst of the music I tell her I love her We both laugh cause we know it isn't true Ah but Mary there's a summer drawing to an end tonight And there's so much that I long to do to you But in the morning I'm leaving, making my way back to Cleveland So tonight I hope that I will do just fine And I don't see how you could ever be anything but mine And in the morning I'm leaving, making my way back to Cleveland So tonight I hope that I will do just fine And I don't see how you could ever be anything but mine Mary I don't see how you could ever be anything but mine
