Live Laugh Love

(clay walker/m. jason greene)

Everything i touch turns to ashes
So i wouldn't dare lay a hand on you
I've never had much luck with passion
But i can tell you're wantin' me too

Everytime you look my way i shiver
I'm havin' a hard time keepin' my cool
I see the message your eyes deliver
Or is it just the smoke in the room

I feel the heat
It's gettin' harder and harder to breathe
I feel the sweat
Rollin' down the nape of my neck
You're burnin' me up
Just look at this ragin' fire you started
Don't stop now
Baby you're cold hearted

Well i've always been a little bit reckless
Oh and now here i am playin' with fire
With every sweet kiss from your red lips
You make my temperature rise

I feel the heat
It's gettin' harder and harder to breathe
I feel the sweat
Rollin' down the nape of my neck
You're burnin' me up
Just look at this ragin' fire you started
Don't stop now
Baby that's cold hearted

I feel the heat
It's gettin' harder and harder to breathe
I feel the sweat
Rollin' down the nape of my neck
Oh you're burnin' me up
Oh look at this ragin' fire you started
Don't stop now
Baby that's cold hearted

I'm gonna live, laugh, love just for today
Gonna take all the trouble that tomorrow might bring and put it away
Gonna drink every drop of happiness
'til they cover me up
I'm gonna live, gonna laugh, gonna love

I got a buddy that wakes up worrin' about stocks and bonds
He's up and he's down and he only smiles
When the markets strong
I spend my whole week wages
At the dance on saturday night
I won't never grow a portfolio
But hey that's alright

I'm gonna live, laugh, love just for today
Gonna take all the trouble that tomorrow might bring and put it away
Gonna drink every drop of happiness
'til they cover me up
I'm gonna live, gonna laugh, gonna love

I got a cabin in the country and the tin roof rattles
When the rain comes down
Where the wind through the pine helps me unwind
While the world goes 'round
I got a woman that fills my heart so full
That it overflows
And how it gets any better than this
Brother i don't know

I'm gonna live, laugh, love just for today
Gonna take all the trouble that tomorrow might bring and put it away
Gonna drink every drop of happiness
'til they cover me up
I'm gonna live, gonna laugh, gonna love

I'm gonna live, laugh, love just for today
Gonna take all the trouble and put it away
Gonna drink every drop of happiness
'til they cover me up
I'm gonna live, gonna laugh, gonna love

I'm gonna live, laugh, love just for today
Gonna take all the trouble that tomorrow might bring and put it away
Gonna drink every drop of happiness
'til they cover me up
I'm gonna live, gonna laugh, gonna love

I'm gonna live, gonna laugh, gonna love

She loves to buy those designer clothes
And she tends to cry at the picture show
And she'll make plans without telling me
And i don't understand
I guess it's just a woman thing

Oh but whatever it is that i can't figure out
It all comes clear when she walks in
And the lights go down
And it's a mystery that i can't explain
But i love what she does to me
When she's doing that woman thing

Now she'll go on about losing weight
While all along i'm thinking she looks great
I never know where her mood will swing
'cause i'm just a man
And that's just a woman thing

Oh but whatever it is that i can't figure out
It all comes clear when she walks in
And the lights go down
It's a mystery that i can't explain
But i love what she does to me
When she's doing that woman thing

Oh it's a mystery that i can't explain
I love what she does to me
When she's doing that woman thing

Oh i love what she does to me
When she's doing that woman thing

He was driving home one evening,
In his beat up pontiac
When an old lady flagged him down,
Her mercedes had a flat
He could see that she was frightened,
Standing out there in the snow
'til he said i'm here to help you ma'am,
By the way my name is joe

She said i'm from st. louis,
And i'm only passing through
I must have seen a hundred cars go by,
This is awful nice of you
When he changed the tire,
And closed her trunk
And was about to drive away,
She said how much do i owe you
Here's what he had to say

You don't owe me a thing, i've been there too
Someone once helped me out,
Just the way i'm helping you
If you really want to pay me back,
Here's what you do
Don't let the chain of love end with you

Well a few miles down the road,
The lady saw a small cafe
She went in to grab a bite to eat,
And then be on her way
But she couldn't help but notice,
How the waitress smiled so sweet
And how she must've been eight months along,
And dead on her feet

And though she didn't know her story,
And she probably never will
When the waitress went to get her change,
From a hundred dollar bill
The lady slipped right out the door,
And on a napkin left a note
There were tears in the waitress's eyes,
When she read what she wrote

You don't owe me a thing,
I've been there too
Someone once helped me out,
Just the way i'm helping you
If you really want to pay me back,
Here's what you do
Don't let the chain of love end with you

That night when she got home from work,
The waitress climbed into bed
She was thinkin' about the money,
And what the lady's note had said
As her husband lay there sleeping,
She whispered soft and low
Everything's gonna be alright, i love you, joe

She could see him comin' from a mile away
Kickin' up dust down the dirt road
She ran and met him at the front gate
Hopped in the truck and said let's go
You wouldn't think there'd be much to do
So far from the city lights
But give two kids all that room
And there's no tellin' what they'd find

They felt the rhythm of the wind
Blowin' through the wheat fields
The sun wasn't all that fell
As the moon began to rise
Beneath the stars in each other's arms
They were onto somethin'
It ain't called heartland for nothin'

The thing about bein' from a town that small
Is everyone's lookin' for a way out
But that never crossed their minds at all
After twenty good years there's no doubt
The two of them saw so much more
Than corn and barbed wire fence
They found a love worth stayin' for
And they've been together ever since

They felt the rhythm of the wind
Blowin' through the wheat fields
The sun wasn't all that fell
As the moon began to rise
Beneath the stars in each other's arms
They were onto somethin'
It ain't called heartland for nothin'

Oh they felt the rhythm of the wind
Blowin' through the wheat fields
The sun wasn't all that fell
As the moon began to rise
Beneath the stars in each other's arms
They were onto somethin'
It ain't called heartland for nothin'

3we're in heartland, heartland

My boss told me again just today
To get my mind on my job
That's so easy for him to say
He's never held you in his arms
And my mind's wherever you are

If a man ain't thinkin' 'bout his woman
If a man ain't thinkin' 'bout love
If a man ain't thinkin' 'bout his woman
Then what's he thinkin' of

Some folks think that i'm lost in space
But i've got my own point of view
If they could see what's goin' on in my head
They'd know why my mind is on you
I'm just doing what my heart tells me to

If a man ain't thinkin' 'bout his woman
If a man ain't thinkin' 'bout love
If a man ain't thinkin' 'bout his woman
Then what's he thinkin' of

I've got a one track mind it's true
My train of thought never leaves you

If a man ain't thinkin' 'bout his woman
If a man ain't thinkin' 'bout love
If a man ain't thinkin' 'bout his woman
What's he thinkin' of

If a man ain't thinkin' 'bout his woman
If a man ain't thinkin' 'bout love
If a man ain't thinkin' 'bout his woman
What's he thinkin' of
