The Sound Of A Heart Breaking



I grab a cigarette and lay down the phone, same damn thing third night in a row
I miss your voice but, this storm’s the only thing I hear at all
I think of those times when your phone would buzz and you’d ignore whoever it was
Now that’s me, I never thought I’d be that call
Parked on our old side of town, Man, it’s really comin’ down

To you it ain’t nothin’ but the fallin’ rain tapping out it’s rhythm on the window pane
While you lie alone in bed I toss and turn here in my head
But, you’ll sleep good tonight and we both know you won’t think twice
‘Cause to you it’s just the noise the world is making
But, to me it’s the sound…THE SOUND OF A HEART BREAKING

I turn the key on and reach for the dial, stop on that station you always liked
You know the one that plays all those old country tunes
Ain’t it kind of funny hearing this guy sing how he tries to call his girl and gets her machine
It almost seems they’re playing this one for me and you
It makes me feel like it’s not too late but, you probably don’t feel the same

To you it ain’t nothing but another song one of those you can’t help but sing along
You’ll make up half the words and miss the part that makes me hurt
You’ll hear it a thousand times but, we both know you won’t think twice
‘Cause to you it’s just the noise the world is making
But to me, to me it’s the sound…THE SOUND OF A HEART BREAKING

…Taking it’s own sweet time…..maybe one day I’ll find

That it ain’t nothing but falling rain tapping out it’s rhythm on the window pane
Nothing but another song, one of those you can't help but sing along
I’ll hear it a thousand times and maybe then I won’t think twice
I’ll know it’s just the noise the world is making
But for now, for now it’s still the sound
To me, to me it’s the sound
Oh baby, I hope you never know the sound
THE SOUND OF A HEART BREAKING

VERSE
Parked my truck next to her daddy’s car
He said, “Better have her home by twelve o’clock sharp”
She jumped off that porch swing and walked across the yard
When them headlights hit her looking that way
All I could say was


CHORUS
DANG GIRL, whoa whoa whoa whoa
You’re off the chain girl
Do that thing that you do that
Makes me wanna woo woo get with you
More than anything in the world…..DANG GIRL


VERSE
She hopped on in, slid across that seat
Squeezed that sexy, rockin’ body up against me
Flashed those pretty green eyes ‘n made it hard to breathe
Gave me a cherry chapstick kiss
And the next thing off my lips was

Sweet Summertime Song


You’re a warm breeze through the palm trees the first week in June
You’re a legs tanned, white sand blue sky afternoon
Baby you’re a rum and coke, you’re a mojito at a sea side tiki bar
You’re a tune I know on the radio I turn it up and there you are

And I sing along cause you’re a sweet, sweet summertime song
Baby, you got me singing along
You’re the melody running through me
You’re the rhythm and rhyme
Playing in my mind, my whole life long
You’re my sweet, sweet summertime
My SWEET SUMMERTIME SONG


You’re a sailboat, you’re a sunset, you’re a day in paradise
You’re a Ferris wheel on a boardwalk lighting up the night
You’re a reggae band, a Corona can, you’re a blanket on the beach
You’re a pair of shades, a moonlight wave, you’re the music in me

REPEAT CHORUS


I sing along cause you’re a sweet, sweet summertime song
Baby, you got me
You’re the melody running through me
You’re the rhythm and rhyme
Playing in my mind, my whole life long
You’re my sweet, sweet summertime
My sweet summertime
Baby, you’re my summertime
My SWEET SUMMERTIME SONG

Hey girl, you gone and done it
Across the room, don’t even know your name
If I had a genie in a bottle, I’d rub on it
And my choice would be just one thing

In that camo cap and those peek-a-boo curls
You and me, let’s make this real

Ooo ooo Ooo ooo WISHIN’ I’s KISSIN’ THAT COUNTRY GIRL
Ooo ooo Ooo ooo WISHIN’ I’s KISSIN’ THAT COUNTRY GIRL

VERSE
Jesus, there’s so much between us
You say I’m the righteousness of God
But, I don’t see it
Jesus, I know that you freed us
Even though I choose to walk in chains
Help me find my way

CHORUS
Through your eyes, through your eyes
I know there’s glory
Through your eyes, through your eyes
You restore me
Yes, this world is falling, yes, this world is falling
We all need the SON IN OUR EYES
The SON IN OUR EYES
Yes, this world is falling, yes, this world is falling
We all need the SON IN OUR EYES
The SON IN OUR EYES


VERSE
Jesus, take our hearts and lead us
We will follow you as you follow through
And blind us with your grace
Jesus, your shine will redeem us
You are our Beacon in the night
The Way, The Truth, The Light

VERSE
Think I’m fallin’ but, I don’t wanna say it first
We’ve been flirtin’ all week and it’s getting’ worse
My old heart’s gonna do what it’s gotta do
Spendin’ all it’s time on me and you
Bailin’ on my buddies at the bar when you call me up
Know I’ll pay for it later but, I just can’t get enough
Oh, girl, look what you’ve done


CHORUS
YOUR LOVE’S GOT SOMETHING ON ME, baby
Can’t escape how I feel, goin’ crazy
Everyone’s askin’ and wonderin’ why I’ve been actin’ insane lately
Cause YOUR LOVE’S GOT SOMETHING ON ME


VERSE
I’ve been thinkin’ bout us just about every night
Holdin’ you, kissin’ you, baby you blow my mind
Every time it makes me weak in the knees
What you’re doin’ right now, girl, puts a spell on me
I wanna stay in this dream

V1:
Lookin' back When I was a kid, feelin' guilty for something I did,
Carrying that weight so long, it's hard to let go when I was doing so wrong
If I had a chance to do it again, would I be a better man,
And take a different path, wishing that I could change the past
I Shut my eyes, hoping it’s a dream,
But when they're open, it’s right in front of me
C:
It's time to move on, quit holding on, cause everything promised is being delayed
Stop being afraid, of that ball and chain I know, yeah, I need to start letting go,
Of YESTERDAY
V2:
Holding on to something inside, really hating knowing I’m,
Building up that wall, I need to wake up before pride makes me fall
I Shut my eyes, hoping it’s a dream,
But when they're open, it’s right in front of me (Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:
Gotta hold on, for a better tomorrow,
Gotta let go, of the pain from YESTERDAY (Repeat Chorus)

Tag: Right here, right now I'm letting go of YESTERDAY

When your lips are wishin’ they were kissed just one more time
Hope I’m your favorite flavor, the one that makes them shine (CHORUS)

Verse

Haunt Me, I don't care if you leave me
Cause This has gone on for too long
And I don't care what you do or say,
what you do or say
Please don’t
Say that I couldn't do anything, without you
Please don't
Say that I couldn't be anything, without you (Cause I’ve)

Chorus

Held you tight far too long
Now I'm stuck in the middle of this song
Held your hand way too long
Now I'm stuck ……in the middle of this song


Deep down, it’s all I really wanted, really wanted
And now, I’m ready to stand up on my own, on my own (Cause I’ve)


(Bridge)
And I don't care what you do or say
And I don’t care ……...if you stay

Sneak To The Creek

First time, oh my, you were swinging from a tree vine
Making a splash wearing nothin’ but a smile
Pulled on over, girl I've got to hold ya
Knew right then and there I had to make you mine


Next few summers, oh what a bummer
You were seeing someone else and I was seeing green
But, that water’s calling, all I really wanted
You and me and that country stream every night in my dreams


Turn the key, fire it up,
Throw that blanket in the back of the truck
Give it gas and we’ll give it a whirl
Wiggle them blue jeans off that butt, girl
Pull over by the cottonwood
A long, slow kiss will do us good
Leave your inhibitions by the tree
And SNEAK TO THE CREEK with me


As luck would have it, reached out and grabbed it
We started talking a little more and more
Late last Friday, caught you looking my way
I said, “Come on, girl, let’s slip out that door” (and we’ll)


That country moon is shining through the clearing
On the birds and the bees and all that they’ll be hearin’
Is me saying, “Oh oh oo wee, baby SNEAK TO THE CREEK with me”
That muddy water’s making it so clear
That I can’t wait till the weekend is here

VERSE
There’s a cold beer sign flashin’ on the door
Strings of pink and blue shinin’ down on the dance floor
The band is playin’, you start swayin’, you pull me to my feet
You know I can’t say no when you smile like that at me


CHORUS
Uh oh, there you go leanin’ into me just right
Makin’ me high under this sky of tiny blinkin’ lights
Uh oh, case you don’t know my heart’s already gone
And these NEON STARS ain’t the only thing turned on


VERSE
It’s a heavenly night in this honky tonk world
The crowd just disappears when you’re kissin’ on me girl
The bar clock’s glowin’, girl I know it’s just a little past nine
But the way I feel, wish it were closer to closing time

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
I don’t know how you get to me this way
All I know is one more slow song’s more than I can take

REPEAT CHORUS

TAG
No, these NEON STARS ain’t the only thing turned on
These NEON STARS…ain’t the only thing turned on
