Roses

VERSE
I keep waiting for you to call
But the best that you can do for this old fool's no word at all
The days are empty and time is slow
All the words that I would say to you have nowhere else to go, so

CHORUS
I listen to the rain and all it has to say
'Bout what shoulda done and how you coulda stayed
While the clouds cry all their tears
I'm gonna wish that you were here
Now I listen to the rain on this sunny day

VERSE
There's a raindrop just hit the ground
Telling me that all my chances were just ways to let you down
And this next one just hit my cheek
If there's something left to say I don't know what it would be, so

[CHORUS]

BRIDGE
As the days go the wind blows my thoughts all around
Driving me crazy don't know how...

[CHORUS]

I listen to the rain
I listen to the rain
I listen to the rain on this sunny day


Listen To The Rain

Here's a little something I bet you didn't know
But I know you're playing hard to get
And did you calculate I got a game of my own
So keep trying - I wouldn't give up yet

Cause you got me where I want ya
Got me where I need ya
Got me so completely
So whatcha gonna do?
Got me where I'm missin'
Wishin for your kissin'
Blissful indecision
So whatcha gonna do with me?

You got my motor running and I'm ready to go
And you know you wanna say you're set
So reach into my pocket, pull a quarter real slow
And flip it -- heads, we go west
Tails we go east
Or you could stay right here with me


Cause you got me where I want ya
Got me where I need ya
Got me so completely
So whatcha gonna do?
Got me where I'm missin'
Wishin for your kissin'
Blissful indecision
So whatcha gonna do with me?

Standing on your front lawn
Turn the stereo on 95.5
Listen to me sing along to "The Longest Time"

Cause you got me where I want ya
Got me where I need ya
Got me so completely
So whatcha gonna do?
Got me where I'm missin'
Wishin for your kissin'
Blissful indecision
So whatcha gonna do with me?

Whatcha gonna do with me?

Got Me Where I Want You

Have you looked around this busy town
And found all the walls keeping us in bounds
I bet there's a place with nothing but space
And the grace of a slower pace

I'll show you how to find it
I bet you wouldn't mind it one bit
Just sit
And listen to the gears shift

We'll cruise in my truck
And never let the pedal up
Down every dirt road
Girl you know it's just our luck
We'll get stuck in the mud but we don't care
Somewhere out there
We'll find our way to nowhere

And when we simplify we just might find
A fire from a flame we thought had died
Grab my duffel bag and your travel sack
And pack, we ain't lookin' back

When you slide into the front seat
Kicking up your bare feet
That's it, I quit
Listen to the gears shift

We'll cruise in my truck
And never let the pedal up
Down every dirt road
Girl you know it's just our luck
We'll get stuck in the mud but we don't care
Somewhere out there
We'll find our way to

Nowhere close to anyone we
Anyplace we
Anything we
Nowhere close to anything we know

We'll cruise in my truck
And never let the pedal up
Down every dirt road
Girl you know it's just our luck
We'll get stuck in the mud but we don't care
Somewhere out there
We'll find our way to nowhere

We'll find our way to nowhere

Nowhere

I shoulda never drove by her house
And see something that I just can't wash out
Said I don't love her anyway
But truth has a way of setting records straight

I'm sitting here crying tears in my Chevy
Down the street so she don't know
Heartbreak's getting heavy
Gonna leave it on the side of the road
Sitting missing forever
When she don't want me no more
Who knew that a Chevy could ever ride so low

You're lucky if you get one chance with a girl like that
And she gave me way more than I shoulda had
When I woke up she was gone
You fight the truth and it hits a little too strong

I'm sitting here crying tears in my Chevy
Down the street so she don't know
Heartbreak's getting heavy
Gonna leave it on the side of the road
Sitting missing forever
When she don't want me no more
Who knew that a Chevy could ever ride so low

When this old Chevy won't start I fix it
But when you break a girl's heart, that's it
It's over

You cry tears in your Chevy
Down the street so she don't know
Heartbreak gets heavy
Gotta leave it on the side of the road
Sitting missing forever
When she don't want you no more
Who knew that a Chevy could ever ride so low

Who knew that a Chevy could ever ride so low

Sitting missing forever
When she don't want you no more
Who knew that a Chevy could ever ride so low

Tears In My Chevy

Hay fields ain't the only thing we love around here
Hey we'll all get together for an ice cold beer
Down at Johnny Walker's Hideout
We all know to find
A little slice of life

A little slice of lime for your tequila
A little slice of pie from Greg's momma Sheila
And if you're lucky tonight
There's a slice of heaven in the corner
Looking at you with come on over eyes
Oh, I love this slice of life

[Whistling]

Everyone who tries leaving
Comes back with a hungry feeling
For this slice of life

A little slice of lime for your tequila
A little slice of pie from Greg's momma Sheila
And if you're lucky tonight
There's a slice of heaven in the corner
Looking at you with come on over eyes
Oh, I love this slice of life

Slice Of Life

I don't even wanna tell you what it's like
I'd rather walk this path alone just so you don't have to know
That you can
Wake up one morning just like all the rest
And look away one second too long
Then when you look back

Everything's gone
It's deeper than empty ever felt
Everything's gone
Riding this midnight train through hell
I don't even have my faith no more to lean on
Everything's gone

You try to choose your battles best you can
And pick the path you think is right
Never thinking that you might be
Thinking it's forever when you're staring at the end
Believing good things never get taken by the wind

Everything's gone
It's deeper than empty ever felt
Everything's gone
Riding this midnight train through hell
I don't even have my faith no more to lean on
Everything's gone
