The sun is setting on my lonely heart
In this cheap motel
What I though would be brand new start
Is just a prison cell

Independence was calling my name
Screamin' in the wind
Sayin', Son you need a change
But now these walls are closin' in

‘cause freedom's just a prison
For a fool like me
Chains around my heart
Ain't liberty
You left me standin' tall
But now I'm beggin on my knees

You've still got me (oooo, still got me)
So baby, unlock me(ooo, unlock me)
From this freedom

My soul is burning for that sweet release
Where only moonlight can find us
Hey, I miss your kiss, I miss you holding me
And all the ties that used to bid us

Freedom's just a prison
For a fool like me
Chains around my heart
Ain't liberty
You left me standin' tall
But now I'm beggin on my knees

You've still got me (oooo, still got me)
So baby, unlock me (ooo, unlock me)
From this freedom

Yeah! You've still got me (you've still got me)
So baby, unlock me (oooo, unlock me)
From this freedom (freedom)

I can't take this freedom (freedom)
No more freedom (freedom)

. . .


You ready?

Been down this street so many times
Could hit the gas and close my eyes
And not touch a thing
The doorways here are always dark
Keep movin its not safe to park
This aint no lovers lane

Its where infatuation goes
You hit this long strange stretch of road
And you dont know where it leads

But if were going anyhere
Only this will take us there
So baby hold your breath and wrap your arms around me

Chorus:
Here we go now
A little bit closer
Keep your head down
On my shoulder
Were on our way
But its gonna get rough
On this road
This road to Lasting Love

Look into the rear veiw mirror
Remember all that got us here
Were gonna need it later
Out the window all around
Dreams in peices on the ground
Cuz it wont be easy baby

You know that faith and hope and trust
Aint riding in these hearts with us
This trips gonna break em

Ive never seen the other side
But girl when you look in my eyes
Ive seen it out there
I beleive that we can make it baby

Chorus:
Here we go now
A little bit closer
Keep your head down
On my shoulder
Were on our way
But its gonna get rough
On this road
This road to Lasting Love

Theres a light up ahead that we all wanna reach
So we grab every chance that we can
But we lose and get lost
Just a few get across
This broken promise land

Chorus:
Here we go now
A little bit closer
Keep your head down
On my shoulder
Were on our way
But its gonna get rough
On this road
This road to Lasting Love

Chors:
Here we go now
A little bit closer
Keep your head down
On my shoulder
Were on our way
But its gonna get rough
On this road
This road to Lasting Love

Road to lasting love

Road to lasting love

Oh yeah.

She said she didn't love him,
And maybe she never really did.
She could move back to her mommas.
And they could split time with the kids.
She just noticed, her first touch of grey.
She don't want to wait, not one more day.

This ain't no practice life.
We only get one shot.
And our love ain't through, hey
It's all we've got.
And nobody goes around twice,
'Cause this ain't no practice life.

There's sixty hours on his time card,
And it's only Thursday night.
His kids are growin' up without him,
And he's about to lose his wife.
So he puts down the papers, and he picks up the 'phone.
He says: "Son, tell your Momma: I'm a'comin' home."

It ain't no practice life.
We only get one shot.
And our love ain't through, hey

It's all we've got.
And nobody goes around twice,
'Cause this ain't no practice life.

So much to do, with so little time.
That clock on the wall's gonna rob us half-blind.

It ain't no practice life.
We only get one shot.
And our love ain't through, hey.
It's all we've got.
And nobody goes around twice,
'Cause this ain't no practice life.

It ain't no practice life.
We only get one shot.
And our love ain't through, hey.
It's all we've got.
And nobody goes around twice,
'Cause this ain't no practice life.

This ain't no practice life.
Yeah, it ain't no practice life.

Ive been up and down left and right and wrong so many times
Both sides of the winding road straight down the center line
I crossed paths with the devil With an angel on my side
Always

The first time that I saw you I knew you were the one
Cuz when I walk beside you I was walkin in the sun
But like a fool I ran Like a lonesome highway run
Always

Chorus:
I had my life together now at least a thousand times
But it seem satisfaction never was a friend of mine
The way we laughed the way we cried and how it hurt to say goodbye
How long can I keep missin you this way
Always

I sat an watched a tall oak drop acorns at my feet
And thought about the good times and how good they used to be
But then I watched your memory scatter like dry leaves
Always

Now the wind fades to a whisper but sill I hear your name
I guess that some things in this life are never gonna change
And though every day is different My love for you remains
ALways

Chorus:
I had my life together now at least a thousand times
But it seem satisfaction never was a friend of mine
The way we laughed the way we cried and how it hurt to say goodbye
How long can I keep missin you this way
Always

Always

oh.....

Always

I miss you

I missin you

. . .


She says im a peice of work and I make her laugh
Shes got answer for anything I could ask
Yeah we fit together
Inside and out
She knows where im going
Before I turn around

Chorus
Well There aint another like her and I cant beleive
That her soul and mine were meant to be
She flew in first class straight from heaven above
I gotta say
Shes just like Custom made
For me to love
Yeah custom made
for me to love

When I put my arms around her we just fit
She tells me that she aint never felt nothin like this
Yeah shes that one in a million
Were 2 of a kind
I was born to be heres
She was made to be mine

Chorus
Well There aint another like her and I cant beleive
That her soul and mine were meant to be
She flew in first class straight from heaven above
I gotta say
Shes just like Custom made
For me to love

Bridge:
Yeah shes that one in a million
Were 2 of a kind
I was born to be heres
She was made to be mine

Chorus
Well There aint another like her and I cant beleive
That her soul and mine were meant to be
She flew in first class straight from heaven above
I gotta say
I gotta say
Shes Custom made
Custom made
For me to love
Oh custom made
for me to love
Custom made

Yeah I gotta say shes custom made

. . .


It's a long, long way from where I am,
To where I ought to be.
I can't remember where I made this turn,
Into no-man's land, as far as I can see.

Stranded being and a-broken down,
With only one way from this place.
I always find the strength I need,
In the arms of my Angel and my saving grace.

And I ain't sure how you carry me,
Through the darkest hours, so easily.
And I ain't sure how you carry this load,
Down a hundred miles of bad road.

I handed you what was left of me,
Prayin' it would be enough.
This black and blue and a-worn out heart,
Was empty 'til you filled it up with your love.

And I ain't sure how you carry me,


Through the darkest hours, so easily.
And I ain't sure how you carry this load,
Down a hundred miles of bad road.
Is all I'll ever see.

If there's an easier way, it ain't shown itself to me.
But the burden ain't as heavy as it used to be.

And I ain't sure how you carry me,
Through the darkest hours, so easily.
And I ain't sure how you carry this load.

I ain't sure how you carry me,
Through the darkest hours, so easily.
And I ain't sure how you carry this load,
Down a hundred miles of bad road.

Down a hundred miles of bad road.
Yeah.
Yeah, down a hundred miles of bad road.

. . .


She's the last girl I thought I'd ever see here
But there stands the preacher's daughter holdin' a beer
A tatoo of an angel on the small of her back
How cool.... is that

She probably don't remember me, it's been a long long time
About then she turned around and kinda stared at me and smiled
She said I had the hots for you in Sunday school class
Now tell me how cool.... is that

How cool...... is the hot sunlight
When the stars line up and everything feels just right
How cool...... when no-ones in sight
When I'm the one shes lookin' at with that look in her eye

About then I asked if she was still seein' old what's his name
She said has it really been that long, no... a lot of things have changed
She brushed her hair back and said let's not talk about the past
How cool..... is that

How cool.... is the hot sunlight
When the stars line up and everything feels just right
How cool.... when no-ones in sight
When I'm the one shes lookin' at with that look in her eye

I've learned that sex can sell anything on TV.
And I've learned that what you get ain't always what you see.
And I've learned that politics and acting are the same profession.
And the soul gets mighty sick when it goes without confession.
I know a lot about livin' but I got so much to learn about love.

I've learned that the winners don't always have the most talents.
And often the most gifted lives fall out of balance.
And I've learned that you can never lose if you don't give up.
Don't give up.
I know a lot about livin' but I've got so much to learn about love.
Ooh, yes I do.

'Cause when it comes to love,
I get so confused.
Things I say and shouldn't say.
And do and shouldn't do.
I build back walls that I've torn down.
I hide my heart so it can't be found.
I get lost as lost can be.
Still you keep lovin' me.

I've learned that I'm a taker and I need to be a giver.
And I promise you a whole lot more than I deliver.
An' I've learned that forgiveness is a simple gift of grace.
And I know I don't deserve it, but I see it in your face.
I know a lot about livin' but I've got so much to learn about love.
Oh, yes I do.

'Cause when it comes to love,
I get so confused.
Things I say and shouldn't say.
And do and shouldn't do.
I build back walls that I've torn down.
I hide my heart so it can't be found.
I get lost as lost can be.
Ah, but still you keep lovin' me.

I've learned that every day, miracles still happen.
The sweetest music is the sound of children laughin'.
And you should kiss your folks every time you leave 'em.
'Cause you never know, it just might the last time you see 'em.
I know a lot about livin' but I've got so much to learn about love.
Ooh, yes I do.

I know a lot about livin' but I've got so much to learn about love.
Yes I do.
Yes I do.

I have to learn.

Oh, I have to learn.

Oh, I know a lot about livin' but I've got so much to learn about love.

Yes I Do, yeah, yeah, yeah.

To fade.

Baby light a couple candles, lock the bedroom door
Put on some sweet soul music, throw a blanket on the floor
Surrender to my patient hands,
all week i've been your husband, tonight I wanna be your man.

It hit me just this morning, when I passed you in the hall
I swear I caught you lookin, like you dont know me at all
let me show you who I am,
all week ive been your husband, tonight I wanna be your man

and i'll always be, your cover when your cold
and when the world winds up against you, im the safe place you can go
but now and then, we need to find some time to be in love, just be in love

now the whole worlds in bed sleepin, I think were finally alone
and if the telephone starts ringin, we'll pretend like were not home
cause any fool would understand,
that all week ive been your husband, tonight I wanna be your man

mhhmh, mmhmmmhm

So let me show you who I am,
all week ive been your husband, tonight I wanna be your man

just forget about that old wedding band,
all week ive been your husband, tonight I wanna be your man
mmmhmm

Oh my

I packed my bag
I picked a fight
I left for good just the other night
I dont feel light like I thought it would
I cant go home like I wished I could

'cause somethings up
I can tell
Shes takin my leaving a little too well
She aint been sufferin by herself since I been gone
My babys got a brand new something goin on

I get dressed up
I go down town
I do my best just to track her down
Our old friend
lord they dont say much
Shes out of town
And out of touch

Chorus:
'cause somethings up
I can tell
Shes takin my leaving a little too well
She aint been sufferin by herself since I been gone
My babys got a brand new something goin on

Aint no note Aint no news
Aint no clothes and there aint no shoes
Aint no car left in the drive
Aint woman livin here tonight

Chorus:
'cause somethings up
I can tell
Shes takin my leaving a little too well
She aint been sufferin by herself since I been gone
My babys got a brand new something goin on

Chorus:

Shes takin my leaving a little too well
She aint been sufferin by herself since I been gone
My babys got a brand new something

I tried the bottle but it only brings me further down
And since you left there aint a sould around
Ive got to get out if get home late its fine with me
I need somethin thats gonna carry me away

Chorus:
Tell me wheres a train when you need one
Lord knows I could sure use a ride
Tell me wheres a train when you need one
'cause ive never been as lonesome as I am tonight

Theres a set of rails that cuts a path to eternity
And I know yeah I know theres a boxcar waitin there for me
Now baby baby maybe thats the place where I can get you off my mind
I need that lonesome whistle to blow til the end of time

Chorus:
Tell me wheres a train when you need one
Lord knows I could sure use a ride
Tell me wheres a train when you need one
'cause ive never been as lonesome as I am tonight

Chorus:
Tell me wheres a train when I need one
Lord knows I could sure use a ride
Tell me wheres a train when you need one
'cause ive never been as low I dont think ive been as low as I am tonight

take me away

. . .


Way before I was born,
The Lord had thought of me.
Before I knew about heartaches,
My whole life, He could see.
Before I knew about Him,
He called me by my name,
Mmmmm, and he did all that,
For someone like me.

I used to think I was somebody,
When I played this ol' guitar.
But He filled me with His sweet love,
And in his eyes, now, I'm a star.
Yeah, he loves me for what's inside.
And that's the way He'll always be.
Yeah, and he did all that,


For someone like me.

Well, I don't really know,
If I could die for someone.
But I know I couldn't stand there,
And watch those people kill me son.
So maybe, Lord, it took some time,
But now I finally see.
Mmmmm, that You did all of that,
For someone like me.

Yeah, You did all of that,
For someone just like,
Oh, just like,
Yeah, just like me.
