I have my doubts about love can you blame me standing on the outside looking in someone save me the perfect match so hard to find losing faith cursing time I don’t know the rules I don’t play games my hearts been beat my souls been framed how did they find love what's wrong with me should I back down should I concede all my friends find dates online high speed love saves you time I'm holdin' out for something better waiting on forever I watch my life pass me by like it's a movie a carousel of players come and go but no one moves me a last appeal for my demands no time left it's my last stand am I still a catch am I still fun am I too old are they too young I don’t want a one night compromise don’t wanna see a 10am surprise those days are gone I'm not in school I refuse to play the fool yeah I'm holdin' out for something better waiting on forever love is playing musical chairs with my heart I'm standing alone when the music stops did I pass it by did I say no was she the one 10 years ago how did they find love what's wrong with me ain’t backin' down I won’t concede I'll keep the faith and borrow time come on love show me a sign while I'm holdin' out for something better waiting on forever |

why do they ask why can’t they see not enough time has gone by and I'm still not me they don’t understand the burden I bear why were you taken so soon it's just not fair do they know does it show is it written all over my face I just want to get through this with a little grace so I break down when I know there's no one around turn down the lights sit in the dark pray to god to please make this pain stop then I'll be strong do my best to try to move on from an ordinary day when everything changed the doctors have said the counselors have spoke but they're not the ones who've lost faith in everything they know is all of this real is it just a bad dream will I wake up in bed turn my head and see you next to me everyday I find ways to get back to regular life but sometimes I give up the fight and I break down when I know there's no one around turn down the lights sit in the dark pray to god to please make this pain stop then I'll be strong do my best to try to move on but I'm still re-living that day when everything changed I can hear the sound of your voice smell the scent of your clothes everybody listens but nobody knows time can heal wounds but the past will leave scars oh my god can you hear me I'm crying out loud CHORUS so many things that I wish I could say on that ordinary day when everything changed |

drivin’ you home tonight took forever I guess there’s nothing left to say my eyes are dry but my heart is shedding tears I never thought it’d end up this way there’s nothing I wouldn’t do just to see you smile nothing I wouldn’t say to ease your mind on your coldest day I wanna be there to comfort you I wish I knew that you’d be there for mine and did you ever think that maybe it’s me maybe it’s that obvious maybe it’s you and me and a couple of drinks at a bar and maybe it’s me who re-writes your fairy tale maybe your prince traded in his horse for a teal green car last night I heard you crying I could feel the tears run down your face but I know you don’t want my shoulder to lean on or the warmth of my embrace did you ever think that CHORUS I tried to chase away the fantasy but I woke up on the wrong side of a dream holdin’ on to my pillow instead of you when I say I care do you really know what I mean I heard you’re leavin’ town tomorrow I heard he’s every thing you’re looking for well I’ll always believe in you and everything you do no matter where you are and did you ever think that CHORUS and did you ever stop to wonder maybe it's me |

I was in the 3rd grade on a yellow bus smaller than most but I was still tough had a backpack of books and my lunch in a brown paper bag jimmy rowe was from the other side of town wore a black bandanna cap turned 'round everybody knew not to get in jimmy's way 10 stops later jimmy got on the bus he wanted my seat but I didn't budge so he took my lunch and threw my books on the floor everybody laughed but I didn't cry could of landed a punch didn't even try I just let him walk away without a fight
sometimes the bigger man steps aside gives some ground but keeps his pride might lose the battle but win the war cause he knows what he's fighting for jimmy rowe ain’t worth your time the tables will turn as time goes by at 10 years old I hope you'll understand it's more important in life to be the bigger man
I grew up fast in my high school days years passed by like a speeding train signed up with the army just like my old man first day of camp couldn't believe jimmy rowe standing across from me built like a tank with a wicked look in his eyes
sometimes the bigger man steps aside gives some ground but keeps his pride might lose the battle but win the war cause he knows what he's fightin' for jimmy rowe can’t you see I am not your enemy I pray someday that you will understand it's more important in life to be the bigger man
we got called late that fall to serve on the frontline when a sneak attack behind our back took us by surprise when I came to I heard the news that everyone was safe except one fallen hero who dove on that grenade
it was a bigger man who stepped aside sacrificing his own life a purple heart for bravery is my friend jimmy's legacy losing battles winning wars knowing what your fighting for like my father said when I was 10 it's more important in life to be the bigger man |

you can stand there and pretend that you don’t see me looking at you you'll probably hear the line I'm workin' on from 10 other fools before the night is through it's not an act of desperation it's not the fear of being alone but I know how sweet life could be if I found the half that makes me whole so everyday I try to find love in a strangers eyes someone to hold me close to kiss goodnight maybe you and I could be everything each other needs when will love find me well I know that you feel safe behind the laughter of your friends well over here it's just me but if I had the chance I think that I'd fit in I don’t know where I turned in life to end up here I've got a few miles on this heart of mine but it's ready to go anywhere CHORUS |

wheat fields dance to the prairie wind the sky turns dark and the rain moves in it's a hundred and one degrees in the shade eighteen wheels on a twelve hour ride making my living in between the white lines I call the wife and kids daddies comin' home family friends and values that's a life that we sought out that's our american dream here's what it's all about it's about
times got tough back in 89 the rain didn't stop til it came waist high memories floated away down river road the ones who were spared came to lend a hand with their hammers and their nails and their bags of sand saving what they could from the rising tide well we made it through the hard times the twisters floods and droughts preserving our way of life and heres what it's all about CHORUS then one of our local boys got called to serve his land his face was on the evening news caught in the enemies hand yellow ribbons of faith and hope tied around every tree a nation came together we became one family then when he stepped off the plane back where he belonged a nations prayers were answered a hero had come home CHORUS |

just a dot on the map between the cows and the corn just a little south of nowhere was my front door my family ran a five and dime on the corner of third and main well life moved slow in that sleepy town the streets rolled up when the sun went down my big dreams didn't fit in a place that small so I moved to the city and ran that race it didn't take long to feel out of place had to get back home where I belong
bought a second hand truck bought a john deere ride bought a little slice of paradise on riverside drive married to a hometown girl she was my old high school flame and now the kids are going to our old school and it's cub scout meetings and tap dance shoes if I had it all to do again you know I wouldn't change a thing CHORUS |
