If I never think about her, I'll never miss her at all
Never wonder what she's doin, never give her a call
Never see her again and I'll be free as a bird
But the trouble with never is never never works

If I never bring her flowers, I'll never see her smile
If I never try to kiss her, she'll never drive me wild
And I'll never feel the need to say those three little words
But the trouble with never is never never works<

I know how to stay carefree, let no one get a hold on me
But I can't keep my hands off her
There's something different 'bout this girl

If I never let me love her, I'll never settle down
And I'll never put roots in this God forsaken town
And I'll never say I do or step foot in a church
But the trouble with never is never never works

I know how to stay carefree, let no one get a hold on me
But I can't keep my hands off her
There's something different 'bout this girl

If I never think about her, I'll never miss her at all
Never wonder what she's doin, never give her a call
Never see her again, and I'll be free as a bird
oh, But the trouble with never is never never works

yeah, But the trouble with never is never never works

Backseat of her daddy's car
I was trying not to go too far
Kept thinking about the words the preacherman said
Lightnin' flashed across the sky
I saw love in a young girl's eyes
And that's a look you never forget

Seventeen only comes once in a lifetime
Don't it just fly by wild and free
Goin any way the wind blew, baby

Seventeen, livin on crazy dreams

Rock and roll and faded blue jeans
And standing on the edge of everything
Seventeen

Legs hangin' off the Bayou Bridge
Feedin' fish potato chips
And talkin' about the mysteries of the universe
Yeah, the world was somewhere else
We had the Summer all to ourselves
And the stars went off like fireworks

Seventeen only comes once in a lifetime
Don't it just fly by wild and free
Goin any way the wind blew, baby

Seventeen, livin on crazy dreams

Rock and roll and faded blue jeans
And standing on the edge of everything
Seventeen

Seventeen only comes once in a lifetime
Don't it just fly by wild and free
Goin any way the wind blew, baby

Seventeen, livin on crazy dreams

Rock and roll and faded blue jeans
And standing on the edge of everything
Seventeen

Once upon a lonely time
She swore she'd never let you down
You held her tight without a care in mind
While she did her runnin' 'round
At first you wouldn't face the truth
You loved her too much to let go
And though the story had to end
You wanna be her fool again
Friend, there's something you should know

She'll have you back
Back to drinkin' in no time
Back to walkin' on your knees
Boy open up your eyes and see the light
Some things just aren't meant to be

I understand how she can get to you
Cause she's made more than one man blind
So try and face the cold hard fact
She would gladly have you back
Back to drinkin' in no time

It just don't make no sense to me
To play a game you'll never win
You asked me here for my advice
You say she wouldn't break you twice
Friend you'd better think again

She'll have you back
Back to drinkin' in no time
Back to walkin' on your knees
Boy open up your eyes and see the light
Some things just aren't meant to be

I understand how she can get to you
Cause she's made more than one man blind
So try and face the cold hard fact
She would gladly have you back
Back to drinkin' in no time

So try and face the cold hard fact
She would gladly have you back
Back to drinkin' in no time

She left Oklahoma for California
Sunglasses on the brim of her hat
Smoke was pourin' from that old Cadillac
But she wasn't turnin' back

Just outside of Flagstaff
Motor blew on her Coup De Ville
Just in time she saw a sign
There's was a Texaco waitin' at the bottom of the hill
And she said

Somebody must be prayin' for me
Somebody out there must be prayin' for me
Must be angels I can't see
Somebody must be prayin' for me, yeah

A boy about 20 climbed out of a truck
All covered in grease and dirt
She said, Hey Charles, but he just laughed
He said, I'm wearin' my daddy's shirt
He stood there lost in her eyes
Then she got lost in his

As the years roll by
She would sigh everytime they kissed
And she'd say

Somebody must be prayin' for me
Somebody out there must be prayin' for me
Must be angels I can't see
Somebody must be prayin' for me

Sometimes she stares out the window
And wonders about her Hollywood dreams
But when she tucks her kids in bed
She softly whispers as they fall asleep

Somebody must be prayin' for me
Somebody out there must be prayin' for me
Ain't it funny how you find just what you need
Somebody must be prayin' for me

Somebody must be prayin' for me
Prayin' for me, yeah

She walks over to him and she says do you remember me?
I think we might have met somewhere before
Southern Carolina is the place that comes to mind
But Hey, I guess you never really can be sure
Oh there's nothing like a true love
To go and make a fool of someone just like before
And right there for a minute
I forgot that you don't love me anymore

Then an old familiar feeling
Wraps its arms around the moment
And he says so many times I've tried to call
Well you think you'd spent a lifetime
It's been two years since I've seen you
But it seems like no times gone by at all There was nothing like a real love To give you back the feel of someone just like
before And right there for a minute
I forgot that you don't love me anymore

Oh and how far we'll travel
For a place to heal our hearts
We watched it unravel
So why's tonight the hardest part

Then he says the weather's changin
And it's icing up the highway
So I guess it's time for me to hit the road
So she says goodbye and then before she knows what she is saying
she says I wish that you didn't have to go

Oh there's nothing like a true love
To go and make a fool of someone just like before
And right there for a minute
I forgot that you don't love me anymore

And right there for a minute
I forgot that you don't love me anymore

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 don’t kill us makes us strong
Carry on

Little sister’s husband ran off with her best friend
Left her and the babies all alone again
It hurts to know the hurt that she’s going through
But I know that she’ll do what she’s gotta do
Carry on
Carry on
What don’t kill us makes us strong
Carry on

Nobody ever said that life was gonna be fair
You’re never gonna get nowhere by running scared
If you look down deep inside you’ll find the faith to make you strong
Oh, oh carry on

I try to walk the sunny side of the street
Don’t let no shadows tangle up my feet
There ain’t no troubles that we can’t rise above
With a handful of faith and a heartful of love
Carry on
Carry on What don’t kill us makes us strong
Carry on
Carry on What don’t kill us makes us strong
Carry on
Carry on
Carry on
Carry on

He was rough, he was tough
And he drank his whiskey straight
He would fight every night if he didn’t get his way
She was kind She could find all the good in everyone
And then one day she passes his way
He felt reborn in that morning sun
And saw her face, she called his name
And from that moment he knew he’d never be the same

What you can find in the eyes of a woman
Is a reason to believe
Look deep inside the eyes of a woman
See the man you want to be
I’d been down
Kicked around
The world had got the best of me
Out of rope
Little hope I’d ever get back on my feet
She took my hand, said yes you can
One look at her and I’m a brand-new man

What you can find in the eyes of a woman
Is a reason to believe
Look deep inside the eyes of a woman
See the man you wanna be

When I feel the need for inspiration
With just one look I’ve found my salvation

What you can find in the eyes of a woman
Is a reason to believe
Look deep inside the eyes of a woman
See the man you wanna be
See the man you wanna be
See the man
See the man you wanna be

Long ago, far away
I felt your lovin’ glow upon my face
Was it a dream or just a promise made
What is my destiny

Someday I’ll find a way to shine
Leave all these rainy days behind
I know there’s got to be
Some place warm and bright for me
I’m running out of places I can run
Looking for a place in the sun

Darkness hangs overhead
Close to the point where angels fear to tread
I close my eyes and think of you instead
And pray you’ll be here soon

Someday I’ll find a way to shine
Leave all these rainy days behind
I know there’s got to be
Some place warm and bright for me
I’m running out of places I can run
Looking for a place in the sun

Sometimes it feels like this whole world’s against me
And every beaten path
Is just another winding road that tempts me
Far from you and all that’s true
I’ve got to find my way again

Someday I’ll find a way to shine
Leave all these rainy days behind
I know there’s got to be
Some place warm and bright for me
I’m running out of places I can run
Looking for a place in the sun

Yeah I’m running out of places I can run
Looking for a place in the sun
Oh, won’t you shine down on me Sunshine?
