Too Cold At Home

Mark Chesnutt Too Cold At Home歌詞
1.Blame It On Texas

Been havin' a ball since i was a boy in beaumont
Love that town but i just couldn't stay
Two stepped all the way to amarillo
Shuffled my way into santa fe
Just had to see the sun set out in frisco
The golden gate is great
But it ain't home
Give me a rodeo

Chorus
Blame it on texas
Don't blame it on me
I am who i am
And that's what i'm gonna be
You can say what you wanna say
About my insanity
Blame it on texas
Don't blame it on me

Met a girl out in eastern oklahoma
Her daddy was a tulsa millionaire
With miles and miles of oil wells he'd leave her
All a man could want was waitn' there
But one night while she lay sleepin' i slipped away
Like no man in his
Right mind would do
Call me a fool
Repeat chorus


2.Broken Promise Land

There's a bible on the dresser and a sign hung on the door
And a woman in my arms who shouldn't be
I'm to the point of no returning but i've been here before
This cheating life is nothing new to me
There's someone to be considered so i call her on the phone
And say the job is taking longer than i planned i don't have the
heart to tell her
That a stranger's turned me on and i'm headed for
The boken promise land

Chorus:
Tonight, i'm crossing over and i'll reach the cheating side
And i'll hate myself for coming here again
Where the streets are paved with misery and lives are built on
lies
A place they call the broken promise land

I found a note left on the dresser and a key left in the door
And on the floor i found her goldeb wedding band
Guess she finally had to tell me she's not waiting anymore
She's headed for the broken promise land

Chorus ii:
Tonight she's crossing over and she'll reach the cheating side
And i'll hate myself for giving her the chance
Cause the streets are paved with misery and lives are built on
lies
A place they call the broken promise land

3.Brother Jukebox

Brother jukebox...sister wine
Mother freedom...father of time
Since she left me by myself
You're the only family i've got left

I go down to that same old cafe
Where i try to wash my troubles away
I'm still down and i'm still all alone
But it beats stayin' home all night long
Repeat chorus

I go home and i climb that old stairway
And i tell myself 'tomorrow's a new day'
But i know i'll just go down again
And spend my time with my new next-of-kin
Repeat chorus


4.Danger At My Door

(mark wright)

Chorus
There's danger at my door and i don't need no more
Of her danger at my door - all i've been livin' for
Was for her to love me more than she ever loved anybody before
But she broke my heart oh so many times and i'm trying to fight
My will and send her home tonight
There's danger at my door and i don't need no more
Of her danger at my door

Too many times i've chased a false alarm
Too many lonely nights let down my guard
Too many memories make this moment extra special hard
&cause all that i can remember is laying there in her arms
There's danger at my door and i don't need no more
Of her danger at my door

I finally fall asleep alone again
But i know my day has not come to an end
&cause somewhere in the night she'll try to find her way back in
And all that i can hope for is for strength to be my friend


5.Friends In Low Places

(dewayne blackwell, bud lee)

Blame it all on my roots, i showed up in boots
And ruined your black tie affair
The last one to show, the last one to know
The last one you thought you'd see there
I saw the surprise, and the fear in his eyes
When i took his glass of champagne
Then i toasted you, said honey we may be through
But you'll never hear me complain

Chorus
Cause i've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and there beer chases
My blues away and i'll be ok
Hey, i'm not big on social graces
Think i'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh i've got friends in low places

I guess i was wrong. i just don't belong
But then i've been there before
Everything's all right, i'll just say goodnight
And i'll show myself to the door
Hey, i didn't mean to cause a big scene
But give me an hour and then
I'll be as high as this ivory tower
That you're livin' in

Repeat chorus


6.Hey You There In The Mirror

(jim rushing, herb mccullough)

Hey you there in the mirror
I didn't know you had a smile
I've watched the canyons on your face
Grow deeper with the miles
With your heart barely beating
And your spirit black and blue
I was sure that you were headed
For an early waterloo

Hey you there in the mirror
What happened to your frown
That twinkle in those smiling eyes
Is shining like a crown
You must have met somebody
With compassion in her heart
Who looked upon your haggard face
And saw a work of art

Chorus
Hey you there in the mirror
Well aint you lookin' proud
And not long ago you harbored thoughts
Of throwin' in the towel
Each day you're feelin' stronger
There's new life in your blood
Why i thought that weathered face
Would look so good in love

Repeat chorus


7.Lucky Man

(mark wright, ronnie rogers)

Lightning hit that oak tree we've been lookin' at for years
This summer oh i know we'll miss the shade - we just made it
through
The coldest winter we ever knew and our ole hound dixie passed
away
Yeah i guess i've got things to be down about but in spite of it
all honey aint no doubt

Chorus
I'm livin' the life of a lucky man
Counting my blessings holding your hand
I thank the lord above for sending me your love
And for giving me the life of a lucky man

So many things we talk about never do come true
But heaven knows i wish they could for you - believe me i know
You should be tempted to go that would be the easy thing to do
So many just give up and walk away but in spite of it all you're
strong enough to stay

Repeat chorus

Bridge
I guess i've got things to be down about
But in spite of it all honey aint no doubt


8.Too Cold At Home

Well, it sure feels good to come in here
And just pull up a seat
A frosty mug of a cool one
Helps to beat the heat
These old dog days of summer
Lord, i'll be glad when they're gone
It's too hot to fish, too hot for golf
And too cold at home.

Well, that baseball game on tv
Takes me back to when i was a kid
We proudly wore those uniforms
Just like the dodgers did
Yea!, we won a few and and we lost a few
And for me it still goes on
Too hot to fish, and too hot for golf
And too cold at home.

Chorus

Well, i only planned on one or two
I might stay for three
If that good-lookin' thing in the corner
Keeps smilin' back at me
It's so easy not to care
'bout what's right or what's wrong
It's too hot to fish, too hot for golf
And too cold at home.

Chorus

It's too hot to fish, too hot for golf
And too cold at home.


9.Too Good A Memory


10.Your Love Is A Miracle

(bill kenner, mark wright)

Out on the highway a lot of pretty girls go by
But none have been right
Up until today i would never settle down
But you keep comming around

Chorus:
And your love is a miracle
It's spiritual
Got here just in time
Your love is a miracle
It's visible
Even to a heart that's blind like mine

Out in the wild life, a lot of people telling lies
Lookin' right in your eyes'
And up until tonight, i was always on the prowl
(but) now i'm settlin' down
Repeat chorus

Bridge:
Anyone can see what you're doing to me
And everyone can see that you're everything i see

Chorus:
&cause your love is a miracle
It's spiritual
Stands the test of time
Your love is a miracle
It's visible
Even to a heart that's blind like mine
