C Am I know I'm going down the wrong road F C But I'm going down just the same C Am Burdened by my heavy load F G I can't remember her name Am C There was a time our love flowed F C We were in the love Hall of Fame We're in self destruct mode Looking for someone else to blame Some things you give, some things are owed And some things you just lay your claim Some angry seas we rode But that's the name of the game There was a time our love would explode There was a time we weren't lame But our feelings erode Every time we taste your shame Am G F C Am G F G I know this love once glowed I know there was once was a flame It's like we forgot the magic code Look at what we became

One Woman 03:07
One woman in my arms One woman by my side There's no cause for alarm Neither one is my bride Neither one will be denied One woman in my bed One woman on the phone If I could look ahead Stare into the unknown I'd say I won't be sleepin' alone My friends tell me that they're concerned That I should settle down They worry 'bout the lessons learned What goes around comes around One woman on my mind One woman on her way Much pleasure we will find Until the break of day Until we're too tired to play One woman with a smile One woman with a plan To make it worth my while She says I'll be a fan Of what she can do for her man

D I had this old guitar G I sold my house to buy it A Then we lived in the car G D With what could fit I went to work that morning With not a worry in my heart And without a warning She took it apart Bm That woman I call my wife She took a kitchen knife And she stabbed that ole guitar Don't know where all the pieces are So I sat there to think Bout what she was trying to say Had me stiffer drink And I started to pray When finally it came to me Don't know what took me so long She was saying that she loves me Saying write another song A Bm The songs don't live in that old guitar G A You my darling are a shooting star
4.
G Girls are made of sugar and spice C and evil G Am Though I've loved me one from time D to time Girls may be nice but they're not simple Some only want you in your prime They tell you this but they want that And do these jeans make me look fat? My mother warned me about you I should've known that it was true Girls are kind and sweet and scheming Though some of them have made me smile They'll kick you out when you're still dreaming But they'll expect the same life style Am - Em - Am - D I have a girl these days and she is stunning She makes my heart sing for days I've loved her since the beginning I'm crazy bout her simple ways

In my backyard there's a chair Pointed towards the setting sun I like to go sit there When the evening's just begun And I ponder about nothing My mind as empty as your heart I know you won't wear my ring Now that we live apart Sometimes I hum an old folk song Sometimes I close my eyes and swear That nothing's bad, nothing's wrong When I sit in that old chair I smell the smell of fresh cut grass Drifting from another yard I see the world through the stained glass Of the past that I discard I hear the wind rustle through the leaves The songs of love and happiness I feel the thrill of the thieves I remember when you said yes Am C The sun comes down behind the trees G Sitting there, hugged by the breeze D My world finally at ease Am I listen to the buzzy bees Flying to flowers as they please As I dream of soothing seas Tonight I hum an old folk song Tonight I close my eyes and swear That nothing's bad, nothing's wrong When I sit in my old chair In my backyard there's a chair Pointed towards the setting sun I like to go sit there When the evening's just begun

When the end comes You watch your last sunrise When the end comes It takes you by surprise And the angels sing your name The angels sing your pain The big door swings open Welcome home, son When your time comes Tears in your eyes When your time comes Did you get your big prize And the angels sing your name The angels sing your pain The big door swings open Welcome home, son

well I remember the day I lost it all I remember the feeling of free fall Sometimes life just throws you a nasty curve ball And I remember the day I lost it all I lost my job never saw it coming Went home, thirsty for something numbing That's when my wife said go sleep down the hall Yeah I remember the day I lost it all whatever happened to for better or for worse Was it a promise, or was it a curse? My life is down to waiting for the hearse And that's not something you can rehearse. I need a bridge, tall enough to fly from I wanna hear the wind in my ears, whistle and hum Kid smiles and laughs, right now I can't recall But I remember the day I lost it all

I'm A Dad 03:40
There's a boat anchored somewhere, with her name on it There's a life we can share with our name on it Don't need much of anything A smile, a nod, a simple ring There's a child playing on the beach Big smile on his face There's a dad right there within reach thankful for the grace Child reaches for his hand As they walk together across the sand And he says Thank God for my little angel Thank God for the love he brings Miss you so my darling Thank God for the memories, thank God for the times we had Thank God I'm a dad There's a heaven in the sky somewhere That's where your smiles live now Someday I'll run my hand through your hair You'll kiss my brow The three of us will laugh and play Looking at the dawn of a new day

It's been years since we met But we played hard to get We said words we regret It's been months since we kissed Your hand on my wrist You know you've been missed But I'm gonna see you tonight I'm gonna hold you tight Gonna make it all right Yeah I'm gonna see you tonight Take our love to a new height Until the first morning light It's been weeks since we smiled Honey you drive me wild Stay with me a while It's been days since you reached For my hand at the beach And robbed me of all speech But I'm gonna see you tonight I'm gonna hold you tight Gonna make it all right Yeah I'm gonna see you tonight Take our love to a new height Until the first morning light Darling, fair warning I'm gonna love you till morning
10.
The things we say when we're in love The things we do but we're not sure of The things we think but we can't say aloud The times we want to jump and shout The ones we hurt when we're in love When it's no longer time for kids gloves The things we think but we can't say aloud Because deep, deep down we're not so proud F G So we look at the sky Am We try so hard to smile We try so hard not to cry The things we say when life goes on The promises we make at the break of dawn The things we think but we can't say aloud Cause it's lot like falling from a cloud
