Little By Little (Duet With Andrea Villarreal)

BROKEN STRINGS
 
ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND WE GO ON REPLAY
ON AGAIN AND OFF AGAIN THE SAME HEARTBREAK
I NEVER THOUGHT NEVER THOUGHT IT'D COME DOWN TO THIS
LIGHTS GO DOWN, THE STAGE IS DARK, WE'RE STARING AT THE END

  I DON'T WANNA LIVE MY LIFE WITHOUT A LOVE SONG
  AND YOU WON'T KNOW WHAT YOU HAD UNTIL IT'S LONG GONE
  THERE'S NOT A LINE TO MAKE IT RIGHT
  BUT I'LL BE PLAYING THROUGH THE NIGHT
  LIKE A WORN AND CRACKED GUITAR THAT STILL SINGS
  AND A HEART FULL OF BROKEN STRINGS

I DON’T HAVE TO REMIND YOU OF HOW WE FELT
IT’S HARD TO IMAGINE THE THOUGHT OF SOMEONE ELSE
THERE'S A PART OF ME PART OF ME THAT KEEPS ON TRYING
THERE'S NO HARMONY HARMONY IN THE SILENCE

  I DON'T WANNA LIVE MY LIFE WITHOUT A LOVE SONG
  AND YOU WON'T KNOW WHAT YOU HAD UNTIL IT'S LONG GONE
  THERE'S NOT A LINE TO MAKE IT RIGHT
  BUT I'LL BE PLAYING THROUGH THE NIGHT
  LIKE A WORN AND CRACKED GUITAR THAT STILL SINGS
  AND A HEART FULL OF BROKEN STRINGS  (THESE BROKEN STRINGS STILL SING)
  AND A HEART FULL OF BROKEN STRINGS 

  I DON'T WANNA LIVE MY LIFE WITHOUT A LOVE SONG
  AND YOU WON'T KNOW WHAT YOU HAD UNTIL IT'S LONG GONE
  THERE'S NOT A LINE TO MAKE IT RIGHT
  BUT I'LL BE PLAYING THROUGH THE NIGHT
  LIKE A WORN AND CRACKED GUITAR THAT STILL SINGS
  AND A HEART FULL OF BROKEN STRINGS  (THESE BROKEN STRINGS STILL SING)
  AND A HEART FULL OF BROKEN STRINGS  (THESE BROKEN STRINGS STILL SING)

THE MAN THAT MOMMA MARRIED

THERE'S A PICTURE ON HER DRESSER
HE'S IN A NAVY UNIFORM
OVER TIME THE DATE HAS WORN OFF
BUT I MUST HAVE JUST BEEN BORN

'CAUSE I HEARD THAT THREE MONTHS LATER
HE TOOK OFF WITH THE RENT
WENT TO JERSEY TO SEE SPRINGSTEEN
AND HASN'T BEEN BACK SINCE

  HE FOUGHT FOR HIS COUNTRY BUT NOT FOR US
  SHE WORKED TWO JOBS JUST TO KEEP UP
  AND GRANDMA WATCHED ME WHEN I GOT HOME FROM SCHOOL
  HE WASN'T THERE FOR MY FIRST DATE
  HE WASN'T THERE WHEN I CAME IN LATE
  I'M NOT MAD BUT SOMETIMES I WISH I KNEW
  THE MAN THAT MOMMA MARRIED

I FELL IN LOVE WITH A BLUE EYED BOY
I MET AT THE MUSIC STORE
HE DROPPED OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL
CAUSE HE SAID THAT HE WAS BORED

I'D VISIT HIM ON FRIDAYS
AFTER WORK WE'D GO RIDIN' IN HIS CAR
WE WOULD NEVER GO ANYWHERE
JUST LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO PARK

  HE DIDN'T SAY MUCH, BUT I KNEW WHAT HE MEANT
  WE MOVED IN TOGETHER AND SPLIT THE RENT
  WHEN I TOLD MOMMA SHE GAVE ME A HUG
  I KNOW THERE'S NO GUARANTEE
  AND I PRAY TO GOD HE STAYS BY ME
  'CAUSE GRANDMA SAID HE REMINDS HER OF
  THE MAN THAT MOMMA MARRIED

SOLO 

  WE FIGHT SOMETIMES WHEN THINGS GET ROUGH
  HE'S WORKING TWO JOBS SO WE CAN KEEP UP
  OUR BABY GIRL TURNS 3 YEARS OLD TODAY
  WHEN HE WALKS THROUGH THE DOOR SHE'S ON HER FEET
  HE TWIRLS HER AROUND THEY BOTH SMILE AT ME
  I ALREADY KNOW WHAT SHE'S GONNA SAY
  'CAUSE SHE'S SO IN LOVE WITH
  THE MAN THAT MOMMA MARRIED
  THE MAN THAT MOMMA MARRIED

BACK TO ME

I DON'T KNOW HOW AND I DON'T KNOW WHEN
TEARDROPS ON MY WINDOW PANE
STREAMING AS THE WIND BLOWS
DON'T KNOW HOW BUT I KNOW
THAT I'LL SEE YOU ONCE AGAIN

YOU''RE A FLAMING SUN, A DROPPING MOON
DON'T KNOW MUCH, BUT THIS MUCH IS TRUE
IN MY HEART I'M JOINED TO YOU
AND WE WILL BE ONE AGAIN

  NEVER FURTHER THAN A STONE'S THROW
  WHEREVER YOU GO, I'LL GO
  TAKE YOUR TIME TO FIND OUT WHAT I KNEW WOULD BE
  I DON'T MIND BUT I KNOW ONE DAY YOU'LL SEE
  THAT YOU'LL FIND YOUR WAY BACK TO ME

I TRAVELED FAR AND MOVED MY HOME
I TRIED TO LOVE BUT ALWAYS FELT ALONE
I'VE SEEN SO MUCH OF THIS WORLD
BUT ALL THE PLACES I GO SHOW ME NOTHING WITHOUT YOU

  NEVER FURTHER THAN A STONE'S THROW
  WHEREVER YOU GO, I'LL GO
  TAKE YOUR TIME TO FIND OUT WHAT I KNEW WOULD BE
  I DON'T MIND BUT I KNOW ONE DAY YOU'LL SEE
  THAT YOU'LL FIND YOUR WAY BACK TO ME
  THAT YOU'LL FIND YOUR WAY BACK TO ME

SHOW ME THE WONDERS, SHOW ME LOVE
BE THE REASON I DON'T GIVE UP
'CAUSE ALL MY HOPE IN THIS LIFE, INTERTWINED WITH YOUR LIFE
AND ONE SOUL WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN

  NEVER FURTHER THAN A STONE'S THROW
  WHEREVER YOU GO, I'LL GO
  TAKE YOUR TIME TO FIND OUT WHAT I KNEW WOULD BE
  I DON'T MIND BUT I KNOW ONE DAY YOU'LL SEE
  THAT YOU'LL FIND YOUR WAY BACK TO ME
  THAT YOU'LL FIND YOUR WAY BACK TO ME

WHATDYA SAY
ABOUT RUNNING AWAY

HEY HEY HEY
NEW YORK OR SANTA FE?
IT DOESN’T MATTER WHERE JUST PICK A PLACE

  IF WE END UP SOMEWHERE COLD YOU’LL KEEP ME WARM
  WE’LL JUST SNUGGLE UP TOGETHER, AND WAIT OUT THE STORM
  IF WE END UP AT THE OCEAN WE’LL JUMP RIGHT IN
  AND SWIM, SWIM, SWIM
   WE COULD HIKE THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS TO THE HIGHEST PEAK
  DRIVE THROUGH THE DESSERT IN THE SUMMER HEAT
  OUT IN CALIFORNIA WE COULD WASTE A DAY
  ON A WAVE, WAVE, WAVE

WHATDYA SAY
ABOUT BUYING A HOUSE
FINDING SOMEWHERE NICE JUST ANYWHERE
TO SETTLE DOWN  

IT’S YOU AND ME
BUILDING UP DREAMS
IT’S IN OUR HEARTS AND WRITTEN IN THE STARS
WE’RE MEANT TO BE 

  IF WE END UP SOMEWHERE COLD YOU’LL KEEP ME WARM
  WE’LL JUST SNUGGLE UP TOGETHER, AND WAIT OUT THE STORM
  IF WE END UP AT THE OCEAN WE’LL JUMP RIGHT IN
  AND SWIM, SWIM, SWIM
   WE COULD HIKE THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS TO THE HIGHEST PEAK
  DRIVE THROUGH THE DESSERT IN THE SUMMER HEAT

I LOVE IT WHEN YOU LIE
 
GIRL YOU DON’T MIND WHEN I STUMBLE IN, WAKE YOU UP
AFTER A LONG NIGHT OF DRINKING
YOU ALWAYS SMILE & SAY, HOW’D IT GO, GLAD YOU’RE HOME
PLAY IT OFF LIKE YOU WEREN’T REALLY SLEEPING

YOU KNOW I KNOW IT AINT THE TRUTH 
WHAT YOU’RE SAYING
'CAUSE YOUR EYES CAN'T HIDE 
WHAT YOU’RE THINKING

  I LOVE IT WHEN YOU LIE, NEXT TO ME
  THE END OF EVERY NIGHT ENDS BETWEEN THE SHEETS
  I LOVE IT WHEN YOUR HEAD WINDS UP ON MY CHEST
  AND YOU'RE SAYING IT’S ALL RIGHT, 
  I LOVE IT WHEN YOU LIE
  I LOVE IT WHEN YOU LIE
  I LOVE IT WHEN YOU LIE

GIRL YOU DON’T MIND, WHEN I KEEP YOU UP, WASTE YOUR TIME, 
TALKING IN CIRCLES LIKE A MESS
YOU SAY YOU LIKE IT, WHEN I HOLD YOU TIGHT, KISS YOU GOODNIGHT, 
WITH WHISKEY ON MY BREATH

YOU KNOW I KNOW IT AINT THE TRUTH 
WHAT YOU’RE SAYING
'CAUSE YOUR EYES CAN'T HIDE 
WHAT YOU’RE THINKING

  I LOVE IT WHEN YOU LIE, NEXT TO ME
  THE END OF EVERY NIGHT ENDS BETWEEN THE SHEETS
  I LOVE IT WHEN YOUR HEAD WINDS UP ON MY CHEST
  AND YOU'RE SAYING IT’S ALL RIGHT, 
  I LOVE IT WHEN YOU LIE
  I LOVE IT WHEN YOU LIE
  I LOVE IT WHEN YOU LIE

I LOVE IT WHEN YOU LET ME SLIDE
RIGHT OVER THAT LINE
LIKE IT’S THE FIRST TIME

REPEAT CHORUS

GIRL  YOU DON’T MIND WHEN I STUMBLE IN, WAKE YOU UP
AFTER A LONG NIGHT OF DRINKING

I LOVE IT WHEN YOU LIE

BBC Radio - Marie Crichton's Country Show - "Every Sad Song Known To Man"

This is the ORIGINAL Work Tape Drew Smith recorded for our song "Soft Top Chevelle".  I have always LOVED this version of the song.  Why this song still hasn't been cut by a major is beyond me!

HAD MY FIRST KISS AND MY FIRST CIGARETTE
OUR SECOND DATE I'll NEVER FORGET
IT'S HOW I PICKED YOU UP AND A FEW TIMES LET YOU DOWN

WE'D DRIVE THAT CAR OUT TO THE LAKE 
HAVE OURSELVES ONE HECK OF A DAY
WE'D STAY OUT THERE 'TIL THE SUN FELL ON OUR TOWN

  I GOT A LOT OF STORIES
  AND SOME I JUST CAN'T TELL
  ABOUT US AND THAT
  SOFT TOP CHEVELLE

IT'S HOW ME AND YOU WOULD OUT RUN THE COPS
RAISING HELL AND NEVER GETTING CAUGHT
MAN, WEREN'T WE THE LUCKY ONES

WE'D LAY UNDERNEATH THE STARS IN THE SKY
COVER UP THOSE RACING STRIPES
AND ON THAT HOOD WE'D MAKE MEMORIES OF OUR OWN

  I GOT A LOT OF STORIES
  AND SOME I JUST CAN'T TELL
  ABOUT US AND THAT
  SOFT TOP CHEVELLE

THE END OF SUMMER SENT US SEPARATE WAYS
A FOR SALE SIGN ON THE DASH BECAME
THE ONLY SINGLE SIGN OF WHAT WAS LEFT
OF US, AND THAT SOFT TOP CHEVELLE
OF US, AND THAT SOFT TOP CHEVELLE
