Tim McGraw

He said the way my blue eyes shined

Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
I said, "That's a lie"
Just a boy in a Chevy truck
That had a tendency of gettin' stuck
On back roads at night
And I was right there beside him all summer long
And then the time we woke up to find that summer gone
But when you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think my favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
The moon like a spotlight on the lake
When you think happiness
I hope you think that little black dress
Think of my head on your chest
And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think of me
September saw a month of tears
And thankin' God that you weren't here
To see me like that
But in a box beneath my bed
Is a letter that you never read
From three summers back
It's hard not to find it all a little bittersweet
And lookin' back on all of that, it's nice to believe
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think my favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
The moon like a spotlight on the lake
When you think happiness
I hope you think that little black dress
Think of my head on your chest
And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think of me
And I'm back for the first time since then
I'm standin' on your street
And there's a letter left on your doorstep
And the first thing that you'll read
Is when you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think my favorite song
Someday you'll turn your radio on
I hope it takes you back to that place
When you think happiness
I hope you think that little black dress
Think of my head on your chest
And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think of me
Oh, think of me, hmm
He said the way my blue eyes shined
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
I said, "That's a lie"
Picture to Burn

State the obvious, I didn't get my perfect fantasy

I realize you love yourself more than you could ever love me
So go and tell your friends that I'm obsessive and crazy
That's fine I'll tell mine that you're gay!
And by the way...

I hate that stupid old pickup truck

You never let me drive
You're a redneck heartbreak
Who's really bad at lying
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as I'm concerned you're
Just another picture to burn

There's no time for tears,

I'm just sitting here planning my revenge
There's nothing stopping me
From going out with all of your best friends
And if you come around saying sorry to me
My daddy's gonna show you how sorry you'll be

I hate that stupid old pickup truck

You never let me drive
You're a redneck heartbreak
Who's really bad at lying
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as I'm concerned you're
Just another picture to burn

If you're missing me,

Teardrops on My Guitar

Drew looks at me
I fake a smile so he won't see
That I want and I'm needin'
Everything that we should be
I'll bet she's beautiful
That girl he talks about
And she's got everythin' that I have to live without
Drew talks to me
I laugh 'cause it's just so funny
But I can't even see anyone when he's with me
He says he's so in love
He's finally got it right
I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishin' on a wishin' star
He's the song in the car I keep singin'
Don't know why I do
Drew walks by me
Can he tell that I can't breathe?
And there he goes so perfectly
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
She better hold him tight
Give him all the love
Look in those beautiful eyes
And know she's lucky 'cause
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishin' on a wishin' star
He's the song in the car I keep singin'
Don't know why I do
So I drive home alone
As I turn out the light
A Place in This World

I don't know what I want

So don't ask me cause I'm still trying to figure it out
Don't know what's down this road
I'm just walking trying to see through the rain coming down
Even though I'm not the only one who feels the way I do

I'm alone, on my own and I'm starting off

I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh, but life goes on
Oh, I'm just a girl trying to find a place in this world

Got the radio on, my old blue jeans

And I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve
Feeling luck today, got the sunshine
Can you tell me what more do I need
And tomorrow's just a mystery
Oh, yeah, but that's okay

I'm alone, on my own and I'm starting off

I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh, but life goes on
Oh, I'm just a girl trying to find a place in this world

Maybe I'm just a girl on a mission

But I'm ready to fly

I'm alone, on my own and I'm starting off

Oh, I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh, but life goes on

Oh, I'm alone, on my own and I'm starting off

Oh, I'm just a girl trying to find a place in this world

Oooh, I'm just a girl, oh, I'm just a girl, ah, um

Oh, I'm just a girl
Cold as You

You have a way of coming easily to me

And when you take
You take the very best of me
So I start a fight cause I need to feel something
And you do what you want
Cause I'm not what you wanted

Oh, what a shame

What a rainy ending given to a perfect day
So just walk away
No use defending words that you will never say
And now that I'm sitting here thinking it through
I've never been anywhere cold as you

You put up walls and paint them all a shade of gray

And I stood there loving you and washed them all away
And you come away with a great little story
Of a mess of a dreamer with the nerve to adore you

Oh, what a shame

What a rainy ending given to a perfect day
So just walk away
No use defending words that you will never say
And now that I'm sitting here thinking it through
I've never been anywhere cold as you

You never did give a damn thing, honey

But I cried, cried for you
And I know you wouldn't have told nobody if I died
Died for you (died for you)
The Outside

I didn't know what I would find

When I went lookin' for a reason
I know I didn't read between the lines
And baby I've got nowhere to go
I tried to take the road less traveled by
But nothing seems to work the first few times, am I right?
So, how can I ever try to be better?
Nobody ever let's me in
And I can still see you, this ain't the best view
On the outside looking in
I've been a lot of lonely places
I've never been on the outside
You saw me there but never knew
That I would give it all up to be
A part of this, a part of you
And now it's all too late so you see
You could have helped if you had wanted to
But no one notices until it's too late to do anything
How can I ever try to be better?
Nobody ever let's me in
And I can still see you, this ain't the best view
On the outside looking in
I've been a lot of lonely places
I've never been on the outside
Oh yeah
How can I ever try to be better?
Nobody ever let's me in
And I can still see you, this ain't the best view
On the outside looking in
I've been a lot of lonely places
I've never been on the outside
Tied Together with a Smile

Seems the only one who doesn't see your beauty

Is the face in the mirror looking back at you
You walk around here thinking you're not pretty
But that's not true
'Cause I know you
Hold on, baby, you're losing it
The water's high, you're jumping into it
And letting go and no one knows
That you cry but you don't tell anyone
That you might not be the golden one
And you're tied together with a smile
But you're coming undone
Oh-oh-oh
I guess it's true that love was all you wanted
'Cause you're giving it away like it's extra change
Hoping it will end up in his pocket
But he leaves you out like a penny in the rain
Oh, 'cause it's not his price to pay
It's not his price to pay
Hold on, baby, you're losing it
The water's high, you're jumping into it
And letting go and no one knows
That you cry but you don't tell anyone
That you might not be the golden one
And you're tied together with a smile
But you're coming undone
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Hold on, baby, you're losing it
The water's high, you're jumping into it
And letting go and no one knows
That you cry but you don't tell anyone
Stay Beautiful

Corey's eyes are like a jungle

He smiles, it's like the radio
He whispers songs into my window in words that nobody knows
These pretty girls on every corner
They watch him as he's walking home, saying, "Does he know?"
Will you ever know?
You're beautiful
Every little piece, love
And don't you know
You're really gonna be someone
Ask anyone
And when you find everything you looked for
I hope your life will lead you back to my door
Oh, but if it don't
Stay beautiful
Corey finds another way to be the highlight of my day
I'm taking pictures in my mind so I can save them for a rainy day
It's hard to make a conversation when he's taking my breath away
I should say
Hey, by the way
You're beautiful
Every little piece, love
And don't you know
You're really gonna be someone
Ask anyone
And when you find everything you looked for
I hope your life will lead you back to my door
Oh, but if it don't
Stay beautiful
If you and I are a story
That never gets told
If what you are is a daydream
Should've Said No

It's strange to think the songs we used to sing

The smiles, the flowers, everything is gone
Yesterday I found out about you
Even now just looking at you feels wrong
You say that you'd take it all back, given one chance
It was a moment of weakness and you said yes
You should've said no, you should've gone home
You should've thought twice 'fore you let it all go
You should've known that word
'Bout what you did with her'd get back to me
And I should've been there, in the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself why
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet
You should've said no, baby and you might still have me
You can see that I've been crying
Baby, you know all the right things to say
But do you honestly expect me to believe
We could ever be the same
You say that the past is the past, you need one chance
It was a moment of weakness and you said yes
You should've said no, you should've gone home
You should've thought twice 'fore you let it all go
You should've known that word
'Bout what you did with her'd get back to me
And I should've been there, in the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself why
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet
You should've said no, baby and you might still have me
Oh-oh-oh
I can't resist, before you go, tell me this
Was it worth it?
Was she worth this?
Mary's Song (Oh My My My)

She said, 'I was seven and you were nine

I looked at you like the stars that shined
In the sky, the pretty lights'

'And our daddies used to joke about the two of us

Growing up and falling in love
And our momma smiled and rolled their eyes'

And said, 'Oh, my, my, my'

Take me back to the house in the backyard trees

Said you would beat me up, you were bigger then me
You never did, you never did

Take me back to when our world was one block wide

I dared you to kiss me and ran when you tried
Just two kids, you and I, oh, my, my, my, my

Well, I was sixteen when suddenly

I wasn't that little girl you used to see
But your eyes still shined like pretty lights

And our daddies used to joke about the two of us

They never believed we really fall in love
And our momma smiled and rolled their eyes

And said, 'Oh, my, my, my'

Take me back to the creek that's reaching dark

Two A.M, riding in your truck
Yet all I need is here next to me
Our Song

I was riding shotgun with my hair undone in the front seat of his car
He's got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel
The other on my heart
I look around, turn the radio down
He says baby is something wrong?
I say nothing I was just thinking how we don't have a song
And he says

(chorus)

Our song is the slamming screen door

Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window
When you're on the phone and you talk real slow
Cause it's late and your mama don't know
Our song is the way you laugh
The first dat 'man, I didn't kiss her, but I should have'
And when I got home...Before I said amen
Asking god if he could play it again

I was walking up the front porch steps after everything the day

Had gone all wrong or been trampled on

And lost and thrown away
Got to the hallway, well on my way to my lovin' bed
I almost didn't notice all the roses
And the note that said

(repeat chorus)

I've heard every album listened to the radio

Waited for something to come along as good as our song
