Do me right don't do me wrong
Treat me nice or I'll be gone
I know where to find the door
Ain't gonna play the crying game no more
Ain't gonna play the crying game no more

Tell me truth don't tell me lies
Don't want to hear no alibis
I've been down that road before
Ain't gonna play the crying game no more
Ain't gonna play the crying game no more

Give me love I can believe in
Give me love I'm able to trust in
Show me you are ready and willing
To stand by me like I stand by you

Bring me joy don't bring me pain
I've seen enough of the pooring rain
Show me love's what your living for
Ain't gonna play the crying game no more
Ain't gonna play the crying game no more

Give me love I can believe in
Give me love I'm able to trust in
Show me you are ready and willing
To stand by me like I stand by you

Do me right don't do me wrong
Treat me nice or I'll be gone
I know where to find that door
Ain't gonna play the crying game no more
Ain't gonna play the crying game no more
Ain't gonna play the crying game no more
Ain't gonna play the crying game no more

Fire up the motor baby, I'm already packed
I'll ride shotgun, navigate, throw the cooler in the back
Let's try and get us lost
Anywhere you want to go
Come on show me the other side of the great unknown

Well I've never rocked the Rockies
Never sinned in Santa Fe
I want to stand on a corner in Winslow, Arizona someday
And just take it easy
Drive me down a desert road

Come on show me the other side of the great unknown

Cause I'm tired of being careful
I'm sick of staying home
I just want to see a little of the great unknown
Take a right, take a left, I don't really care

It doesn't matter where we end up
Baby I can love you anywhere
I will be a waitress, you could work on cars
Find ourselves a koa and sleep underneath the stars
Just living and a loving

'Cause I'm tired of being careful
I'm sick of staying home
I just want to see a little of the great unknown
Take a right, take a left, I don't really care

Baby don't say no
Come on and show me the other side of the great unknown
Show me the other side of the great unknown

Standing at the edge of this cliff
Gravity being what it is
I'm afraid that I might stumble
Cause I've never been this high
I'm so carried away by this place
And the simple beauty of your place
When the walls start to crumble
And I'm helpless to fight

'Cause you can't ask the sun not to shine
And no ones ever found a way to stop time
Oh baby its unstoppable
I can't resist at all
I would never try to slow down the wind
Baby it just has to be what it is
And asking me not to love you
Is like asking Niagara not to fall

I can't worry my heart with what if
Maybe I should just give in
And wrap myself around you
And let you take me down

'Cause you can't ask the sun not to shine
And no ones ever found a way to stop time
Oh baby its unstoppable
I can't resist at all
I would never try to slow down the wind
Baby it just has to be what it is
And asking me not to love you
Is like asking Niagara not to fall

Use to think that I would be so sad.
If you ever walked away.
Use to think I needed you so bad.
Did I say that I'd never leave you behind?
Well, just keep treating me unkind 'cause fool I'm a woman and I'm bound to change my mind.

With a woman it's imperative you show her that you love her.
If you don't it's her prerogative to change like the weather.
I'm seeing the signs.
You know I use to think love was blind.
Well, fool I'm a woman and I'm bound to change my mind.

You use to tell me so many nights.
You don't deserve me.
Well, maybe you were right.

Yesterday you offered me the world.
Did you think I'd take it?
Now you treat me like some silly girl.
Yeah, and that's where I'm drawing the line.
You know I use to think you were so fine.
Well, fool I'm a woman and bound to change my...
Well, fool I'm a woman and I'm about to change my...
Well, fool I'm a woman and I just changed my mind.
And I'm about to change my mind.

Can't believe that after all this time
You keep slipping back across my mind
Did we maybe leave the love behind afraid of what we felt
Other loves I've had have come and gone
I don't know why, they just don't last too long
There are questions that go on and go
That time won't tell

Time won't tell me how it might have been
And time won't make what's wrong alright
It can only take me back again
Feeling all those memories in black and white

I watch his kiss good-bye that day
here's where you turn around and walk away
Where were the words that would have made you stay
Time won't tell

No, time won't tell me how it might have been
And time won't make what's wrong alright
It can only take me back again
Feeling all those memories in black and white

You never see the road you didn't take
You never feel the love you failed to make
But you never know might be the words to say
And time won't tell
Time won't tell

These days seem like years
When the nights are spent in tears
Tomorrow seems a lifetime away
These days, these days

Ever since you said good-bye
The hands on the clock just take their time
I wonder if they always will
Cause the minute that you left me
Time stood still

These days seem like years
When the nights are spent in tears
Tomorrow seems a lifetime away
These days, these days

The pillow where you used to dream
Is right where you left it
When you loved me
Will I touch your face again
I'll keep hoping but until then

These days seem like years
When the nights are spent in tears
Tomorrow seems a lifetime away
These days, these days

Oh tomorrow seems a lifetime away
These days, these days

Ain't got no money
No place to sleep
No one has ever been down as me
I'm just a stranger trouble at my feet
But through all my trials
It occurs to me

There's only one
There's only one
There's only one thing that matters
Its God's love

Now I could worry
About what's ahead
But I keep thinking
What Jesus said
There is a place
That I can go
And there'll be a face
I'll surely know

Cause there's only one
There's only one
There's only one thing that matters
It's God's love

There's only one
There's only one
There's only one thing that matters
It's God's love

There's only one
There's only one
There's only one thing that matters
It's God's love
Yeah there's only one thing matters
It's God's love

If you don't take me to Paris
On a lover's getaway
It's all right
It's all right
If I'd rather wear your T-shirt
Than a sexy negligee
It's all right
It's all right
Every dinner doesn't have to be candlelit
It's kinda nice to know that it doesn't have to be

[Chorus]
Perfect
Baby every little piece
Of the puzzle doesn't always fit
Perfectly
Love can be rough around the edges
Tattered at the seams
But honey if it's good enough for you
It's good enough for me

If your mother doesn't like
The way I treat her baby boy
It's all right
It's all right
If in every wedding picture
My daddy looks annoyed
It's all right
It's all right
Don't you knoe that fairy tales tell a lie
Real love and real life doesn't have to be

[Chorus]

You don't mind if I show up late for everthing
And when you lose your cool It's kinda cute to me
Ain't it nice to know that we don't have to be

[Chorus]

It's good enough for me(perfect)
Yeah good enough for me(perfect)
Good enogh for me(perfect)

The river ran through Howard County
It was the life blood of the land
It make fields of green tobacco
Aching backs and callused hands
Mama talked of a coming battle
That the women folk had to fight
'Cause the good lord owned the daytime
But the devil seemed to own the night

Well, it came up out of nowhere
From a dark and bitter seed
It was the roughest kind of roadhouse
And a most unwanted weed
It drew the men folk like a magnet
The women knew what they had to do
So they put it in the hands of Jesus
'Cause they knew that he'd come through

And the rains came and the river swelled
And the more they prayed the more it fell
When the levies broke everybody saw
The awesome power of God
Then the clouds rolled back and the rainbow came
To bring a brighter day
'Cause when the flood hit Howard County
All the sins were washed away

Now the mothers tell the story
Of the week that the river raged
It's the passing of the wisdom
To the ears of tender age
Better walk the straight and narrow
Better keep a watchful eye
'Cause there's a symbol of the wrath of Heaven
In every dark cloud in the sky

And the rains came and the river swelled
And the more they prayed the more it fell
When the levies broke everybody saw
The awesome power of God
Then the clouds rolled back and the rainbow came
To bring a brighter day
'Cause when the flood hit Howard County
All the sins were washed away

She wore a dress with cherries on it
Going somewhere where she'd be wanted
A town this small, all they do is talk
No wedding ring chipped fingernail polish
She always wished that she could go to college
But some dreams fade, they just slip away
She started to show a few months ago
And she had to go, that's how she wound up

On the backseat of a greyhound bus
Head hung down with the windows up
Staring at the rest of her life
She never thought this would be the place
Where she would find her saving grace
But she fell in love, she fell in love
On the backseat of a greyhound bus

Oh, yeah, yeah

Moon was full the stars were smilin'
God has a funny sense of timin'
The baby came on the interstate
Somewhere between Jackson and Memphis
She finally found what she'd been missing
She cried and laughed when the red lights flashed
Sweet baby girl, she looked into the face of a new, the face of a brand new world


On the backseat of a Greyhound bus,
Heart so full that it could bust.
Starin' at the rest of her life.
She never thought this would be the place,
Where she would find her savin' grace,
But she fell in love; she fell in love,
On the backseat of a Greyhound Bus.

Sweet baby girl, she found a brand new world

On the backseat of a Greyhound bus,
Heart so full that it could bust.
Starin' at the rest of her life.
She never thought this would be the place,
Where she would find her savin' grace,
But she fell in love; she fell in love,
On the backseat of a Greyhound Bus.

She wore a dress with cherries on it going somewhere where she'd be wanted

Hey yeah! Oh yeah,

To fade.
