1.Alibis
She knows every move that a man could make
She knows every trick in the book
She knows how to give, she knows how to take
Cause so many times she's been taken and fooled
By those.......
(chorus)
Alibis and lying eyes and all the best lines
Lord knows she's heard 'em all
She's been cheated on and pushed around and left alone
Lord knows what i've put her through
Boy you can bet, if a move can be made
She knows how to make one on you
___
She once thought that love wasn't just a game
Her feelin's once came from the heart
One day i gave her a weddin ring
One night i tore all those feelins apart
With my....
(chorus)
(chorus)
2.Can't Break It To My Heart
I never felt as helpless, as i do today
My world just fell around me as i watched you drive away
Theres nothing left between us, somehow we've grown apart
Cause i've got through my head, i just can't break it to my
heart
(chorus)
I can't believe this is me on the hurtin side of pain
Siftin through the ashes still tryin to find a flame
But the flame has turned to embers left glowing in the dark
I've got it through my head, i just can't break it to my heart
___
If i could, lord knows i would spin back the hands of time
And piece these scattered memories that are cluttered in my head
Pick up where we left off and make a brand new start
I've got it through my head, i just can't break it to my heart
(chorus)
3.If The Good Die Young
It was sunday morning, i was seven years old
In the backyard playing in a big mudhole
I was all decked out, ready for church
Had my brand new suit all covered in dirt
Mama hit the ceiling she was fit to be tied
Talkin 'bout how shes gonna tan my hide
But daddy was laughing when i changed my clothes
'saying 'mama leave the boy alone'
(chorus)
Cause if the good die young
If the good die young
Mama's little boy gonna have alot of fun
Cause he's gonna live forever if the good die young
___
Ten years later had a hot rod ford
Constable clocked me at a hundred and four
Judge said 'boy you're gonna hurt yourself
You'd a long been dead if you were anybody else'
(chorus)
Cause if the good die young
If the good die young
Oh there ain't a sentence gonna hold you son
Cause he's gonna live forever if the good die young
___
Well i got a good heart, i wouldn't hurt a soul
But i'm gonna keep rocking till they call that roll
Old st.peter he's gonna have to wait
I'm gonna go to heaven but i might be late
(chorus)
Cause if the good die young
If the good die young
Pedal to the metal, let your motor run
Cause he's gonna live forever if the good die young
___
(chorus)
And if the good die young
If the good die young
They got the jams, we'll have some fun
Cause i'm gonna live forever if the good die young
___
4.I See It Now
It's good to see your face again, it's been awhile
How am i doing, well i get by somehow
You sure look good since your new love came in your life
You know i didn't see that fire in you he's found
Oh but i see it now
(chorus)
Oh i never saw that look in your eyes
And i never had you hold me that tight
And i never saw you dance with your feet off the ground
Oh but i see it now
___
Holding him, you never looked more beautiful
Letting go has been so hard on me
And sitting here, it's clear to see what he means to you
The way you look at him, it ain't no mystery
He's all i couldn't be
(repeat chorus)
And i never saw you dance with your feet off the ground
Oh but i see it now
5.I Threw The Rest Away
I met him in a dive down in new orleans
I recognized his handsome face
It was none of my business, but i had to know
What he was doing in this kind of place
Cause he used to have money, he used to have honeys
He used to be society's prince
But he still wore a grin when i sat beside him
And asked where all that money went
(chorus)
Some was spent on gambling, alot was spent on women
A little on some good cabernet
Three or four divorces, at least that many horses
Who never left the starting gate
Diamond rings and furs, swampland in new jersey
That week i spent a year in la
I hate to admit it, i threw the rest away
___
He said money don't mean nothing in this game of life
It's just a way of keeping score
Show me a man whose got everything
I'll show you one who wants even more
Well so smoke em' when you got em'
When you hit bottom, you gotta have a reason to smile
You can have a little piece of the rock
I'll take a little piece of mind
(chorus)
He said to me
Diamond rings and furs, swampland in new jersey
That week i spent a year in la
I hate to admit it, i threw the rest away
6.Renegades,rebels And Rogues
They come from the wrong side of the track
Born a breed apart
Can't tie em up, can't pin 'em down
Always clinging to some old star
They chase that restless spirit
Wherever the four winds blow
Ain't no such thing as a dead end to
Renegades, rebels and rogues
(chorus)
Renegades, rebels and rogues
Eyes of fire, hearts of gold
They ramble till they drop
Gamble till the money runs out
They'll take any wrong direction
'cause it's in their blood to know
That all roads lead to another road
For renegades, rebels and rogues
Daughters love em', daddys hate em'
Mama don't understand
Whenever life deals em' down and dirty
They just play another hand
And theres a place in heaven
For those wild and kindred souls
But they'll be raising hell till then
Renegades, rebels and rogues
7.Runnin' Behind
Work, work, work day after day
Fifty hour week, forty hour pay
Not time to get over on this overtime
Yea i'm always runnin', i'm always runnin' behind
I got a friday night date with my sweetheart
I'm already late and the car won't start
Lord, i feel like hittin that car and cryin'
Yes i'm always runnin', i'm always runnin' behind
All my life it's been this way
One dollar short and one day late
One rung lower on the ladder i'm tryin to climb
If i ever get lucky, if i ever get rich
Gonna tow my life up out of this ditch
Watch the world go by while i unwind
Yeah i'm always running, but i'm alwayas runnin' behind
Instrumental
Repeat bridge
8.Somebody Paints The Wall
If my old truck was a horse
I'd have to shoot it
Lord the day my ship came in
I was waiting for a train
Everytime i get a grip, i always lose it
I can't find the sunshine for the rain
And you know i'm always saying i'm sorry
But you stand by me through it all
Seems everytime i make my mark
Somebody paints the wall
Everytime i think i'm off and runnin
I'm barely up to a crawl
Everytime i get a leg up on the ladder of success
I slip and fall
Like last week down at the factory
I was up for a promotion
But the boss says little brother got the call
Seems everytime i make my mark
Somebody paints the wall
Everytime i think i'm off and runnin
I'm barely up to a crawl
Everytime i get a leg up
On the ladder of success, i slip and fall
Like last week down at the factory
I was up for a promotion
But the boss says little brother got the call
Seems like everytime i make my mark
Somebody paints the wall
Seems everytime i make my mark
Somebody always paints the wall
9.Sticks And Stones
You can take the house and everything in it
Keep the diamond ring cause thats how i meant it
Sticks and stones are all they ever were to me
This material life with all it's value
Don't mean a thing to me with you
The love that we once had is all i need
So take everything we have if it makes you happy
But darlin let me say before i leave
(chorus)
These sticks and stones ain't all that makes a home
They don't have arms to hold you when love goes wrong
Now you say, we are through
But the words you said just tore my heart in two
Remember when we didn't have a dime between us
You took my hand and said we don't needmuch
Just as long as we're together we would be fine
Now we've acquired all i thought would please you
I gave everything you know that i could
And still you're telling me you're not satisfied
So take everything we have if it makes you happy
But darlin let me say before i leave
(repeat chorus)
10.Today's Lonely Fool
What would you say if i told you i was sorry
And that i've come to realize
Life means nothing without you
Would you take my hand
Would you forgive this man
For ever doubting your love is true
And could you find it in your heart
To let me try and make it up to you
Yesterday a jealous man
Today a lonely fool
I let love slip right through my hands
With all the hurt i've handed you
I've gotta stop your love from dying
Or i'll be living proof
That yesterday's jealous man
Is today's lonely fool
Darlin' from now on
I'll be proud when other men notice you
Instead of gettin' mean and loud
Like i used to do
Find some mercy in your heart
And we'll make another start
At the love that we once knew
I won't hurt you anymore
I'm gonna trust you now and never question you
Yesterday a jealous man
Today a lonely fool
I let love slip right through my hands
With all the hurt i've handed you
I've gotta stop your love from dying
Or i'll be living proof
That yesterday's jealous man
Is today's lonely fool
I'm today's lonely fool
