Best Of Vince Gill

There's a long white line stretching out on the road ahead
And there ain't one magazine that i ain't read
I haven't seen you in weeks but i hear you on the radio
Singing soft and low

Chorus:
We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on

There never seems to be time for me and you
That's a price you pay for the life you choose
Tonight's the loneliest night i've ever known
It just goes on and on

Repeat chorus

It does my heart good to see you shine
So i'll just keep on counting these white lines
I haven't seen you in weeks but i hear you on the radio
Calling me back home

Repeat chorus to fade

Have i gone crazy
Is there someone new
Something strange is going on
Between me and you
But tell me baby
Tell me it's not true
'cause i've been hearing things about you

Are you unhappy
Are you lonely too
Won't you tell me face to face
What you're gonna do
Well i still love you
But i'm nobody's fool
I've been hearing things about you

Yeah i heard i've been dancin'
When you're out there runnin' 'round
And i heard you've been seein'
Some stranger you have found
And i heard you've been thinkin'
About tellin' me we're through
Yeah i've been hearing things about you

Yeah i heard you've been thinkin'
About tellin' me we're through
I've been hearing things, oh i ain't naming names
I've been hearing things about you

Ther's a redhead from my hometown that loves to let her hair down
She tears my heart out when she starts to sing
She's from the right side of red river and she's pretty as a picture
Don't you know she's this ole cowboy's dream

There's a boy from okie city and i sure think he's pretty
But i know he's trying to steal my heart away
Oh my mama tried to warn me he's done time in california
But he'll be an okie til his dyin' day

There's a dance we do in oklahoma
A dnace like you've never seen
Sit back and we're gonna show ya
How to do that oklahoma swing

Well when two okies get together man there's nothin' they like better
Than to hold each other on a dawdust floor
Oh i love it when we're swayin' to those sweet twi fiddles playin'
Come on boy what are we waitin' for

There's a dance we do in oklahoma
A dnace like you've never seen
Sit back and we're gonna show ya
How to do that oklahoma swing

Yeah there's a dance we do in oklahoma
A dnace like you've never seen
Sit back and we're gonna show ya
Yeah how to do that oklahoma swing
How to do that oklahoma swing

Nothin' to do in this lonely town
Your daddy warned me, "son, you come around" says i ain't good enough for you
He don't know what i'm goin' through

Chorus:
Let's do something
Sneak out your bedroom window, girl
And we'll be gone
Let's do something
Oh, baby, let's do something
Even if it's wrong

Go see the preacher 'cross the couty line
For 25 dollars he could make you mine
My heart's on fire, can't you feel it burn
I'm past the point of no return

Chorus

I'll make your daddy understand
Oh, lord, i know i can make him understand
I'll face your daddy man to man
No guts, no glory, girl, i'll take that chance

Chorus x 2

It's 6:05 on sunday mornin'
And i was supposed to've left for memphis late last night
But i stopped at one of them old highway places
And 'cause i did i'll sleep in tarren county jail tonight

Well i started out tonight with good intentions
But i ended up gettin' sidways drinkin' wine
Well the last thing i remember we was rollin'
And something hit my head and knocked me from my conscious mind

Chorus:
And i'm a victim of life's circumstances
Well i was raised around bar rooms and friday night dances
Ingin' them old country songs
And half the time ending up some place i don't belong

I said, "jailor, hey, what y'all got me charged with?"
Well he looked at me and halfway closed one eye
Well he said, "to mean to say you don't remember cuttin' up some fool with that bone handled knife?"

Repeat chorus x 2
