How was I to know..
How Was I To Know -Reba McEntire
My world revolved around you
Every word was a promise I was hangin' on
Swept up inside a whirlwind
I just couldn't see the end till you were gone
I thought I would fall apart
With shattered dreams and a broken heart
Scramblin' in the dark
How was I to know
That I'd be O.K.
Thought I'd lose it all when you walked away
How was I to know
I would be this strong
I had what it takes all along
How was I to know
What I was so afraid of
Turned out to be my freedom in disguise
Now I know what I'm made of
Guess it just took some time to realize
I was blind I couldn't tell
Put too much faith in someone else
Gave up on myself
How was I to know
That I'd be O.K.
Thought I'd lose it all when you walked away
How was I to know
I would be this strong
I had what it takes all along
How was I to know
How was I to know
That I'd be O.K.
Thought I'd lose it all when you walked away
How was I to know
I would be this strong
I had what it takes all along
How was I to know
How was I to know
Good As I Was To You -Lorrie Morgan
She drove up to the restaurant where they use to dine
He was sitting at the table with someone new this time
She walked up right beside him her face did not turn red
She looked at him so calmly and this is what she said
Good as I was to you is this the thanks I get?
Are all the years we shared so easy to forget?
Does this mean that you've won?
Are you finally having fun?
Is she your dream come true?
Oh, she sure looks good but she won't ever be
As good as I was to you
The room got awfully quiet and everybody stared
Finally the waiter said, "Should I bring another chair."
She said, "No. I was just leaving." but as she walked out the door
She said, "Honey, you can have him I don't want him anymore."
Good as I was to you Is this the thanks I get?
Are all the years we shared so easy to forget?
Is this the way it's done? Looking out for number one?
Did you think it through?
She sure looks good but she won't ever be
Good as I was to you go to lead,
Does this mean that you've won?
Are you finally having fun?
Is she your dream come true?
Oh, she sure looks good but she won't ever be
As good as I was to you
As good as I was to you
Except For Monday -Lorrie Morgan
You look surprised
You didn't think you'd see me
Kicking up my heels
Painting up this town
When you said goodbye
Learned a couple new dances
Cast a couple of glances
I'm on a big roll now...
Except for Monday which was never good anyway
Tuesday I get a little sideways
Wednesday I feel better just for spite
Thursday and Friday take too long
Before I knew it,Saturday's gone
But it's Sunday now you can bet that I'm alright
Don't get me wrong
It wasn't always this easy
Getting over you
Got a little rough on me
But it didn't take too long
Before I got it together
And everyday I thank my lucky stars the you set me free
Except for Monday which was never good anyway
Tuesday I get a little sideways
Wednesday I feel better just for spite
Thursday and Friday take too long
Before I knew it,Saturday's gone
But it's Sunday now you can bet that I'm alright
Songs About Rain -Gary Allan
Well this town has closed down way too early,
And there’s nothing to do,
So I’m driving around in circles,
And I’m thinking about you,
Today I heard you got a new last name,
Sure didn’t know it was gonna hit me this way,
And the radio just keeps on playing all these songs about rain
Now there’s all kind of songs about babies and love that goes right,
But for some unknown reason nobody wants to play them tonight,
Hey I hope it’s sunny wherever you are,
But that’s sure not the picture tonight in my car,
And it sure ain’t easing my pain all these songs like,
Rainy Night In Georgia,
and Kentucky Rain,
Here Comes That Rainy Day Feeling Again,
Blue Eyes Crying In The early morning Rain,
They go on and on,
And there’s no two the same,
Oh it would be easy to blame all these songs about rain,
Well I thought I was over you but I guess maybe I’m not,
Cause when I let you go looks like lonely is all that I got,
Guess I’ll never know what could have been,
Sure ain’t helping this mood that I’m in,
If their gonna keep on playing me songs like,
Rainy Night In Georgia,
and Kentucky Rain,
Here Comes That Rainy Day Feeling Again,
Blue Eyes Crying In The early morning Rain,
They go on and on,
And there’s no two the same,
Oh how I wish I could blame all these songs about rain,
All these songs about rain,
Songs about rain.......
She's Gonna Make It -Garth Brooks
He followed her to work this morning
He’d never seen that dress before
She seemed to sail right through
Those dark clouds forming
That he knows he’s headed for
After seven years of marriage
He wanted out
Now after seven months of freedom
It’s clear that there’s no doubt
She’s gonna make it
And he never will
He’s at the foot of the mountain
And she’s over that hill
He’s sinkin’ at sea
And her sails are filled
She’s gonna make it
And he never will
And you know it’s not like she’s forgot about him
She’s just dealing with the pain
And the fact that she’s survived so well without him
You know it’s driving him insane
And the craze thing about it
Is she’d take him back
But the fool in him that walked out
Is the fool who just won’t ask
She’s gonna make it
And he never will
He’s at the foot of the mountain
And she’s over that hill
He’s sinkin’ at sea
And her sails are filled
She’s gonna make it
And he never will
Only On Days That End In 'Y' -Clay Walker
When you left I told myself
I wouldn't let you haunt my mind
I'd be strong I'd carry on
An' leave the past behind
I'd just forget we ever met
An' find somebody new
An' now I want you to know
I'm almost over you
The only time I ever miss you honey
Is when I'm alone or when I'm with somebody
Your memory never even gets to me
'Cept when I'm awake an' when I'm sleeping
Girl you never even cross my mind
'Cept just when I think I left you far behind
Only when I laugh, only when I cry
An' only on days that end in 'Y'
Now I'll admit you're hard to quit
I been goin' through a bad withdrawal
But you can bet I had to let
You walk before I'd crawl
I got my pride wrong or right
I'm gonna stand my ground
An' I ain't gonna let
Your memory get me down
The only time I ever miss you honey
Is when I'm alone or when I'm with somebody
Your memory never even gets to me
'Cept when I'm awake an' when I'm sleeping
Girl you never even cross my mind
'Cept just when I think I left you far behind
Only when I laugh, only when I cry
An' only on days that end in 'Y'
When you walked out I was just about
To break down an' beg you not to go
But if you wanna come home
It's only fair that you should know
The only time I ever miss you honey
Is when I'm alone or when I kiss somebody
Your memory never even gets to me
'Cept when I'm awake an' when I'm sleeping
Girl you never even cross my mind
'Cept just when I think I left you far behind
Only when I laugh, only when I cry
An' only on days that end in 'Y'
An' only on days that end in 'Y'
Gonna Get A Life -Mark Chesnutt
Gotta find somethin' to ease my mind
Gotta get it off of you
You tear at my heart strings one more time
With what you're puttin' me through
I'm not much on hangin' around
Where I'm not wanted at all
I'm not gonna be your love sick clown
Waitin' for your beck and call
I'm gonna get a life
That's what I'm gonna do
So startin' now
You can find one too
I'm gonna get a life
Like I should have done
A long time ago
Before you wrecked this one
This'll be the last time you spin your wheels
Leaving like a maniac
You don't care about the way I feel
There's no need in comin' back
I'm gonna get a life
That's what I'm gonna do
So startin' now
You can find one too
I'm gonna get a life
Like I should have done
A long time ago
Before you wrecked this one
Yeah, I'm gonna get a life
Before the gettin's done
I'm gonna get a life
That's what I'm gonna do
So startin' now
You can find one too
I'm gonna get a life
Like I should have done
A long time ago
Before you wrecked this one
I'm gonna get a life
Before the gettin's done
A Girl's Gotta Do (What A Girl's Gotta Do) -Mindy McCready
The first thing I did when you said goodbye
Was sit myself down and have a real good cry
The next thing I did was put my red dress on
And go downtown dancing till the break of dawn
A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do
And now I've gotta get to getting' over you
Too bad I gotta do it with someone new
But a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do
Fancy meeting you out stomping ground
Sorry if you caught me painting the town
Guess I shoulda stayed home with your memory
Baby don't take it personally
A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do
And now I've gotta get to gettin' over you
Too bad I gotta do it with someone new
But a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do
Give me a call sometime real soon
And remind me to remember
To forget about you, hoah yeah
A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do
And now I've gotta get to gettin' over you
Too bad I gotta do it with someone new
But a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do
A girl's gotta do it
Yeah a girl's gotta do it
To bad I gotta do it (with someone new)
To bad I gotta do it with someone new
But a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do
Here's A Quarter (Call Someone Who Cares) -Travis Tritt
You say you were wrong to ever leave me alone
Now you're sorry, you're lonesome and scared
And you say you'd be happy if I you could just come back home
Well, here's a quarter, call someone who cares
Call someone who'll listen, or might give a damn
Maybe one of your sorted affairs
But don't you come 'round here handin' me none of your lies
Here's a quarter, call someone who cares
Girl, I thought what we had could never turn bad
So your leavin' caught me unaware
But the fact is you've run...girl, that can't be undone
So here's a quarter, call someone who cares
Call someone who'll listen, or might give a damn
Maybe one of your sorted affairs
But don't you come 'round here handin' me none of your lies
Here's a quarter, call someone who cares
Yeah, here's a quarter, call someone who cares
More Like Me -Trick Pony
I woke up this mornin'
With a feelin' that was gone for quite some time
Your long gone face has been replaced
With better thoughts now runnin' through my mind
When you left you cut my heart in half
Just took some time but now I'm makin' my way back
I feel more like me
I've let go of your memory
Now the hands of time have been so kind
And finally set me free
I feel more like me
She compromised and justified
No matter what the cost
Inch by inch became a mile until she just got lost
There was a time when I was strong
Wild and free and runnin' with the wind
But now the chains are finally gone
And I know I'll be that way again
You took my soul and tore it clean in two
But ever since I saw that open door and walked right through
I feel more like me
I've let go of your memory
Now the hands of time have been so kind
And finally set me free
I feel more like me
I compromised and justified
No matter what the cost
Inch by inch became a mile till I just got lost
But there's no more cryin'
'Cause I'm flyin' and today's a brand new day
Just look at me go now
I'm on a roll now
And I think it's safe to say that
I feel more like me
I've let go of your memory
Now the hands of time have been so kind
And finally set me free
I feel more like me
Tonight the Heartaches on Me -Dixie Chicks
You could have heard a pin drop
When they walked through the door
Had to turn my eyes away
My heart fell to the floor
Someone whispered
Where's your halo
She had an angel face
He stood there smiling holding on
To the one who took my place
So tonight
The heartaches on me
On me
Let's drink a toast to the fool who couldn't see
Bartender pour the wine
'Cause the hurtin's all mine
Tonight the heartaches on me
I wonder if he told her
She's the best he's ever known
The way he told me every night
When we were all alone
She'll find out when the new wears off
He'll find somebody new
She'll learn what heartaches all about
And what I'm going through
But tonight
The heartaches on me
On me
Let's drink a toast to the fool who couldn't see
Bartender pour the wine
'Cause the hurtin's all mine
Tonight the heartaches on me
So tonight
The heartaches on me
On me
Let's drink a toast to the fool who couldn't see
Bartender pour the wine
'Cause the hurtin's all mine
Tonight the heartaches on me
