What If It's You
How Was I To Know?My world revolved around you
Every word was a promise I was hangin' on
Swept up inside a whirlwind
I just couldn't see the end till you were gone
I thought I would fall apart
With shattered dreams and a broken heart
Scramblin' in the dark
Chorus:
How was I to know
That I'd be O.K.
Thought I'd lose it all when you walked away
How was I to know
I would be this strong
I had what it takes all along
How was I to know
What I was so afraid of
Turned out to be my
freedom in disguise
Now I know what I'm made of
Guess it just took some time to realize
I was blind I couldn't tell
Put too much faith in someone else
I gave up on myself
Chorus

The Fear Of Being Alone
We ordered up one more bottle of wine
You told me your story and I thought about mine
You said when you lost her you lost everything
It all started having a familiar ring
So I asked you to take me someplace quiet
We wound up at the river for the rest of the night
Somewhere around the break of day
I could hear it coming from a mile away
Chorus:
(So) don't say that word
Not the one we've both heard too much
You may think you do but you don't
It's just the fear of being alone
Reckless hearts can clear a path
Wider than a hurricane's aftermath
We've both traveled down
that road
Where in the name of love anything goes
Chorus
Like a child in the night
With no one to hold you
And tell you everything's gonna be alright
I must admit it's been fun
But that's no reason to jump the gun
If this is real time will tell
So let me bite my tongue and remind myself
Chorus

What If It's You
I've got something to tell you
That I just can't say
So I'm writing it down in case maybe someday
Our lives take a turn down a road
We can't see right now
I know you're happy and I'm happy for you
But since you found each other
I've been so confused
Cause I believe there's one soul on this earth
That was meant for mine
I was sent here to find
Chorus:
What if it's you
What if our hearts were meant to be one
What'll I do
Knowing that I'll never love anyone
As much as I do love you
What if it's true
What if it's you
If destiny called and I missed my cue
Do I get one more chance
Oh how I wish I knew
I'll never again put my heart in the hands of fate
If it's too late
Chorus
If I ever hold you I'll never let go
But if I never do how will I know
Chorus
What'll I do
What if it's true
What if it's you Go Back to the Home Page
I'd Rather Ride Around With You
My cousin's gettin' married at the Methodist church
That's why I stayed home from work
I'm supposed to hold the flowers
When the new bride kisses the groom
That's what I'm supposed to do
So what are we doing with the windows rolled down
Oh I love her like a sister baby but to tell you the truth
I'd rather ride around with you
The guy she's gonna marry's got money to burn
His daddy's a partner in some big law firm
Yeah that's how their goin'
To Hawaii on their honeymoon
First class to Honolulu
She's never even set foot on a jet
I'm a little bit jealous I confess
I'd like to fly to Hawaii
But honey if I had to choose
Oh I'd rather ride around with you
I don't care where this road goes
No I don't wanna turn around
Let go of the wheel feel the wind blow
Don't even thing about slowin' down
They're tyin' tin cans to the back of the car
Wonderin' where in the world we are
The preacher's done prayin'
And the couple's done sayin' I do
That could be me and you
There's way too many decisions to make
The length of the dress
The letters on the cake
Oh one of these days I might get married to
But I'd rather ride around with you
I don't care where this road goes
No I don't wanna turn around
Let go of the wheel feel the wind blow
Don't even think about slowin' down
Cause I'd rather ride around with you
Oh I'd rather ride around with you

It Don't Matter
We've got a nice little house on a quiet little street
But it don'tmatter
A two garage with a new Cherokee
But it don't matter
Chorus:
Cause we don't ever seem to talk anymore
And you don't hold me like you did before
We've got everything we wanted and more
But now I know and now I see
Nothing matters if you don't love me
We've given twelve precious years of our lives
But it don't matter
And I guess for a while we were both satisfied
But it don't matter
Chorus
It wouldn't be easy to walk out tonight
But it don'tmatter
And I know I would miss you if you said goodbye
But it don't matter

State of Grace
Grace worked down at Walmart
For thirteen years she punched that clock
Been two weeks without a day off
She never gave it too much thought
'Til one morning in the mirror
Two new lines opened her eyes
And suddenly it hit her
She still had the wings to fly
Attention late night shoppers
A two for one on broken chains
Chorus:
That's the state of grace
It's the weak made strong
It's finding what you're missing
Was right there all along
It's an open road to a better place
It's a life worth living
In the state of grace
Grace cleaned out her bank account
Bought a beat up camper truck
Turned her pink slip into personnel
Then tore her time card up
As she drove away she wondered
What New York City would be like
And would the stars really keep you up
On a clear desert night
With a front seat full of road maps
To help her lose her way
Chorus
Grace knew when she looked up
There
wouldn't be a sky
If the dreams we'd been given
Weren't supposed to fly

Close to Crazy
I still reach for you
In the middle of my dreams each night
But my arms come up empty everytime
And lately I talk to your memory
More than I should
If I could just forget the past I would
Cause this missing you ain't doing me no good
Chorus:
I'm so close to crazy
Right on the edge
Just one step away from
going insane
But I'm not there yet
If I could just lose my mind
I wouldn't know we're through
But this close to crazy
Is far from over you
Today I caught myself
Reliving how it used to be
At a table for two just you and me
But talking to an empty chair
And laughing right out loud
Turned everybody's head and left no doubt
I'm a broken woman close to breaking down
Chorus
I still reach for you
In the middle of my dreams each night

She's Callin' It Love
Everybody's callin' it a real big shame
She keeps lettin' him treat her that way
He's older and he's wild
She's such a pretty child
He must be thinkin' 'bout one thing
But there are stars in her eyes
'Cause she's thinkin' he might
Give her that class ring
Chorus:
She's got his picture in a frame
A heart untamed
Callin' his house three times a day
She thinks it's all she'll ever dream of
And she's callin' it love
She's callin' it love
Daddy knows his baby's headed for a heartache
And that part of growin' up is learnin'from mistakes
But he can't let her go
Cause he knows
That boy's nothin' but bad news
But daddy can't control her
She's getting older
There's nothin'anyone can do
Chorus
She might get hurt along the way
But she's gonna find true love someday
Chorus
She's callin' it love
She's callin' it love
She's callin' it love
She's callin' it love
She's callin' it love
(Picture in a frame, heart untamed, calling his house three times a day)
She's callin' it love
(Picture in a frame, heart untamed, calling his house three timesa day)
She's callin' it love
(Picture in a frame, heart untamed, calling his house three times a day)
She's callin' it love
(Picture in a frame, heart untamed, calling his house three times a day)

Just Looking For Him
She can concentrate on workin'
Until her work is done
She can hold a conversation
As well as anyone
She'll fool you with si
