My Best Friend
I never had no one that I could count on
Ive been let down so many times
And I was tired of hurtin, so tired of searchin
Til you walked into my life
Ant it was a feelin Ive never known
And for the first time I didnt feel alone
Youre more than a lover
There could never be another to make me feel the way you do
And oh, we just get closer
I fall in love all over every time I look at you
I dont know where Id be without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
Youre my best friend
Youre my best friend
You stand by me and you believe in me
Like nobody ever has
When my world goes crazy, youre right there to save me
You make me see how much I have
And I still tremble when we touch
And oh, the look in your eyes when we make love
Youre more than a lover
There could never be another to make me feel the way you do
And oh, we just get closer
I fall in love all over every time I look at you
I dont know where Id be without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
Youre my best friend
Youre my best friend
Youre more than a lover
There could never be another to make me feel the way you do
And oh, we just get closer
I fall in love all over every time I look at you
I dont know where Id be without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
Youre my best friend
Youre my best friend
Youre my best friend
Something Like That
It was Labor Day weekend I was seventeen
I bought a Coke and some gasoline
And I drove out to the County Fair
And when I saw her for the first time
She was standing there in the ticket line
And it all started right then and there
Oh a sailor's sky made a perfect sunset
And thats a day Ill never forget
I had a barbecue stain on my white t-shirt
She was killing me in that mini-skirt
Skippin rocks on the river by the railroad tracks
She had a sun tan line and red lipstick
I worked so hard for that first kiss
A heart dont forget something like that
It was five years later on a south-bound plan
I was headed down to New Orleans
To meet some friends of mine for the Mardi Gras
When I heard a voice from the past
Coming from a few rows back
When I looked I couldnt believe just what I saw
She said I bet you dont remember me
And I said only every other memory
I had a barbecue stain on my white t-shirt
You were killing me in that mini-skirt
Skippin rocks on the river by the railroad tracks
You had a sun tan line and red lipstick
I worked so hard for that first kiss
A heart dont forget something like that
Like an old photograph
Time can make a feeling fade
But the memory of the first love
Never fades away
I had a barbecue stain on my white t-shirt
She was killing me in that mini-skirt
Skippin rocks on the river by the railroad tracks
She had a sun tan line and red lipstick
I worked so hard for that first kiss
A heart dont forget, no a heart dont forget
I said a heart dont forget something like that
Oh, not something like that
Please Remember Me
When all our tears have reached the sea
Part of you will live in me
Way down deep inside my heart
The days keep coming without fail
A new wind is gonna find your sail
That's where your journey starts
You'll find better love, strong as it ever was
Deep as the river runs, warm as the morning sun
Please remember me
Just like the waves down by the shore
We're gonna keep on coming back for more
Cause we don't ever wanna stop
Out in this brave new world we seek
Oh, the valleys and the peaks
And I can see you on the top
You'll find better love, strong as it ever was
Deep as the river runs, warm as the morning sun
Please remember me
Remember me when you're out walkin'
When the snow falls high outside your door
And late at night when you're not sleepin'
And light falls across your floor
When I can't hurt you anymore
You'll find better love, strong as it ever was
Deep as the river runs, warm as the morning sun
Please remember me
Carry On
Mama went to sleep one night and never woke up
Daddy cried a tear into her old coffee cup
Now all he wants to do is drink the hurt all away
If Mama was here I know what Mama would say
Carry on
Carry on, what dont kill us makes us strong
Carry on
Little sisters husband ran off with her best friend
Left her and the babies all alone again
It hurts to know the hurt that shes going through
But I know that shell do what shes gotta do
Carry on
Carry on, what dont kill us makes us strong
Carry on
Nobody ever said that life was gonna be fair
Youre never gonna get no where by running scared
If you look down deep inside youll find the faith to make you strong
Oh, oh carry on
I try to walk the sunny side of the street
Dont let no shadows tangle up my feet
There aint no troubles that we cant rise above
With a handful of faith and a heart full of love
Carry on
Carry on, what dont kill us makes us strong
Carry on
Carry on, what dont kill us makes us strong
Carry on, carry on, carry on, carry on
My Next Thirty Years
I think Ill take a moment, celebrate my age
Ending of an era, and the turning of a page
Now its time to focus on where I go from here
Lord have mercy on my next thirty years
Hey my next thirty years Im gonna have some fun
Try to forget about the crazy things Ive done
Maybe now Ive conquered all my adolescent fears
And Ill do it better in my next thirty years
My next thirty years Im gonna settle all the scores
Cry a little less, laugh a little more
Find a world of happiness without the hate and fear
Figure out just what Im doing here
In my next thirty years
Oh the next thirty years, Im gonna watch my weight
Eat a few more salads and not stay up so late
Drink a little lemonade and not so many beers
Maybe Ill remember my next thirty years
My next thirty years will be the best years of my life
Raise a little family and hang out with my wife
Spend precious moments with the ones that I hold dear
Make up for lost time here
In my next thirty years
In my next thirty years
