Willie Johnson was locking up his store Monday night
And someone snuck in and they commenced a fight
His wife Emilia found him lying on the freezer floor
Now this sleepy little town, it ain't sleepy no more
Sheriff Walker holds three local boys in jail
They confessed right down to the last detail
They beat Willie with a bat, He was 70 years old
Then they bought some beer with the six dollars they stole
Well I know my anger is not politically cool
But, brother we're in danger when kids can be so cruel as to kill for play,
Dear God have mercy we're liven just like there's no judgment day
Billy Haney is the youngest of the three accused
His grandpa got him as a baby hungry and abused
But no one guessed the depth of his emotional scares
Till we saw him on the news grinning like a movie star
Well I know my anger is not politically cool
But, brother we're in danger when we can be so cruel, as throw our kids away
Dear God have mercy we're living just like there's no judgment day
Today the headlights lined in the drizzling rain
To the graveyard stretched a five mile chain
And we laid to rest one of this towns sweetest souls
And we barried the peace we know in that very same hole
Send Back My Heart lyrics - gary allan
By now I really should be over you
But I might as well just give up tryin'
You've got what's missin' deep inside me
And I want it back, girl you know it's mine
[Chorus]
Send back my heart if you don't want it
Send back my heart girl, the one you stole away
You've made it plain, your names not on it
S don't put me through one more blue and lonely day
Send back my heart
I've found somebody else wants my love
But I can't give her what she needs
The very thing she's wantin' still ain't mine to give
So won't you let it go, please baby please
I've tried to forget you girl just like you told me to
But baby that's impossible, so now it's up to you
But I might as well just give up tryin'
You've got what's missin' deep inside me
And I want it back, girl you know it's mine
[Chorus]
Send back my heart if you don't want it
Send back my heart girl, the one you stole away
You've made it plain, your names not on it
S don't put me through one more blue and lonely day
Send back my heart
I've found somebody else wants my love
But I can't give her what she needs
The very thing she's wantin' still ain't mine to give
So won't you let it go, please baby please
I've tried to forget you girl just like you told me to
But baby that's impossible, so now it's up to you
Her Man lyrics - gary allan
I'm gonna change my ways of doin' things around here
I'm turning over a new leaf ,gonna get my self in gear
'Cause I've got a women whos better then most,
and I've made a mess of her plains
Starting today,all I'm gonna be is her man
'Cause I've been a wild catter, and a go-go getter
Been an S.O.B. right down to the letter
I've had misadventures, I've even got pictures
I'm even more than I can stand
But startin' today, all I'm gonna be is her man
I'm gonna give it all back, cause all I've done is take
Well I've put her on the back burner while I was out on the make
But I've got a woman who's good enough to give me
A second chance again
And startin' today, all I'm gonna be is her man
'Cause I've been a wild catter, and a go-go getter
Been an S.O.B. right down to the letter
I've had misadventures, I've even got pictures
I'm even more than I can stand
But startin' today, all I'm gonna be is her man
I'm a little bit late but I'm wisin` up
Now I'm takin` her by the hand
And startin' today, all I'm gonna be is her man
I'm turning over a new leaf ,gonna get my self in gear
'Cause I've got a women whos better then most,
and I've made a mess of her plains
Starting today,all I'm gonna be is her man
'Cause I've been a wild catter, and a go-go getter
Been an S.O.B. right down to the letter
I've had misadventures, I've even got pictures
I'm even more than I can stand
But startin' today, all I'm gonna be is her man
I'm gonna give it all back, cause all I've done is take
Well I've put her on the back burner while I was out on the make
But I've got a woman who's good enough to give me
A second chance again
And startin' today, all I'm gonna be is her man
'Cause I've been a wild catter, and a go-go getter
Been an S.O.B. right down to the letter
I've had misadventures, I've even got pictures
I'm even more than I can stand
But startin' today, all I'm gonna be is her man
I'm a little bit late but I'm wisin` up
Now I'm takin` her by the hand
And startin' today, all I'm gonna be is her man
Forever And A Day lyrics - gary allan
The say nothin' lasts forever
Honey, I've got good news
Whoever said that
Never got the blues from you
This cloud I'm under
Looks like it's gonna stay
The thunders gonna roll
Forever and a day
Nothing's gonna change
The way I think and feel
My heart is so heavy
And my fate is sealed
Lord, stop this misery
Every night I pray
'Em knowin' that it's there
Forever and a day
[Chorus]
Forever and a day
You're stuff here in my mind
Forever and a day
Is such a long, long time
I tell myself again
That I just can't swim
This river of regret
That I'm drownin' in
You've left with this feeling
That I just can't shake
My spirit's gonna sink
Forever and day
Honey, I've got good news
Whoever said that
Never got the blues from you
This cloud I'm under
Looks like it's gonna stay
The thunders gonna roll
Forever and a day
Nothing's gonna change
The way I think and feel
My heart is so heavy
And my fate is sealed
Lord, stop this misery
Every night I pray
'Em knowin' that it's there
Forever and a day
[Chorus]
Forever and a day
You're stuff here in my mind
Forever and a day
Is such a long, long time
I tell myself again
That I just can't swim
This river of regret
That I'm drownin' in
You've left with this feeling
That I just can't shake
My spirit's gonna sink
Forever and day
Living In A House Full Of Love lyrics - gary allan
[Chorus:]
Now love is pouring through the windows
Comin' through the door
I can feel it creepin' through the cracks in the floor
Bouncin' off the walls and the ceilin' up above
Since I found you I'm livin' in a house of love
All my life my hear's been walked on
Women said they loved me my how they talked tellin' me lies
And fillin' my eyes with tears that I couldn't control
I couldn't get a hold of myself long enough to realize
They were only tryin' to pull the wool over my eyes
I found you then the skies turned blue
I'm livin' in a house of love
Once I lived in a hole like a rabbit
I couldn't find love the blues were a habit
A lonely man and I couldn't understand
Why everything I tried went wrong
'Til you came alone bless your heart and showed me the right way
You dried my eyes and turned my night to day
And I'm so proud I wanna holler our loud
Tell the world about my house of love
Now love is pouring through the windows
Comin' through the door
I can feel it creepin' through the cracks in the floor
Bouncin' off the walls and the ceilin' up above
Since I found you I'm livin' in a house of love
All my life my hear's been walked on
Women said they loved me my how they talked tellin' me lies
And fillin' my eyes with tears that I couldn't control
I couldn't get a hold of myself long enough to realize
They were only tryin' to pull the wool over my eyes
I found you then the skies turned blue
I'm livin' in a house of love
Once I lived in a hole like a rabbit
I couldn't find love the blues were a habit
A lonely man and I couldn't understand
Why everything I tried went wrong
'Til you came alone bless your heart and showed me the right way
You dried my eyes and turned my night to day
And I'm so proud I wanna holler our loud
Tell the world about my house of love
All I Had Going Is Gone lyrics - gary allan
The day we met
I'll never forget
Was the luckiest of my life
She took me so far
And I broke her heart
Now I'm sittin' here
With the simple truth
That tears me apart
[Chorus:]
All I had goin' is gone
The best I'll ever do
Is over and done
It serves me right
'Cause I did her wrong
Now all I had goin' is gone
Sometimes a man
Just don't understand
He possesses everything life can bring
He thinks there's more
So he has to explore
Leavin' her alone
Time after time
Til she walked out my door
Now it serves me right
She left me alone
Now all I had goin' is gone
I'll never forget
Was the luckiest of my life
She took me so far
And I broke her heart
Now I'm sittin' here
With the simple truth
That tears me apart
[Chorus:]
All I had goin' is gone
The best I'll ever do
Is over and done
It serves me right
'Cause I did her wrong
Now all I had goin' is gone
Sometimes a man
Just don't understand
He possesses everything life can bring
He thinks there's more
So he has to explore
Leavin' her alone
Time after time
Til she walked out my door
Now it serves me right
She left me alone
Now all I had goin' is gone
Used Heart For Sale lyrics - gary allan
Chorus
Used heart for sale
Scratched and dented but it runs real well
Like you a lot so I'll cut you a deal
Used heart for sale
First owner Peggy treated it rough
She took it over some rough roads
She skipped town when it broke down
She never paid off what she owed
Cindy picked up where Peggy left off
Whoa, how she made it shine
Soon after then some mutual friend
Robbed Miss Cindy blind
Took about every cent I had
To get it out of the hock
I spent the last month fixin it up
Now its rollin' off the blocks
Used heart for sale
Scratched and dented but it runs real well
Like you a lot so I'll cut you a deal
Used heart for sale
First owner Peggy treated it rough
She took it over some rough roads
She skipped town when it broke down
She never paid off what she owed
Cindy picked up where Peggy left off
Whoa, how she made it shine
Soon after then some mutual friend
Robbed Miss Cindy blind
Took about every cent I had
To get it out of the hock
I spent the last month fixin it up
Now its rollin' off the blocks
Of All The Hearts lyrics - gary allan
Of all the hearts
In this big ol' world
Please tell me
Why did you have to break mine
For every tear I've cried
There must be a million fools
That could have caught your eye
What were the odds
That you and I would meet
We were just strangers
On a crowded street
Of all the hearts
That you could have loved
And left oh
Why did you have to be mine
Whatever made you
Choose me above the rest
Is there some unlucky
Charm that I possess
Of all the hearts
In this big ol' world
Please tell me
Why did you have to break mine
Oh why did it have to be mine
In this big ol' world
Please tell me
Why did you have to break mine
For every tear I've cried
There must be a million fools
That could have caught your eye
What were the odds
That you and I would meet
We were just strangers
On a crowded street
Of all the hearts
That you could have loved
And left oh
Why did you have to be mine
Whatever made you
Choose me above the rest
Is there some unlucky
Charm that I possess
Of all the hearts
In this big ol' world
Please tell me
Why did you have to break mine
Oh why did it have to be mine
From Where I'm Sitting lyrics - gary allan
He asked her to dance three songs ago
Now she pulls him closer as the music slows
The lights are growin' dim it's just her and him and the band
Funny, I used to love this song
I though it was our song but I guess I was wrong
From where I'm sittin' I can see where I stand
[Chorus:]
From where I'm sittin' I can see where I stand
She's got her head on his shoulder and her heart in his hands
Thing's are pretty clear when a fool understands
Lord, from where I'm sittin' I can see where I stand
I've never seen her dance like that before
Don't think I can take much of this anymore
He's no longer the stranger and it looks like I am
I always dreamed I'd see that look in her eyes
But I never dreamed it would be for some other guy
And from where I'm sittin' I can see where I stand
Now she pulls him closer as the music slows
The lights are growin' dim it's just her and him and the band
Funny, I used to love this song
I though it was our song but I guess I was wrong
From where I'm sittin' I can see where I stand
[Chorus:]
From where I'm sittin' I can see where I stand
She's got her head on his shoulder and her heart in his hands
Thing's are pretty clear when a fool understands
Lord, from where I'm sittin' I can see where I stand
I've never seen her dance like that before
Don't think I can take much of this anymore
He's no longer the stranger and it looks like I am
I always dreamed I'd see that look in her eyes
But I never dreamed it would be for some other guy
And from where I'm sittin' I can see where I stand
Wine Me Up lyrics - gary allan
I'm the center of attention in this bar room
Cause I've got teh biggest heartache of the year
And each night those swingin' doors reach out to me and draw me in
'Cause they know each night that I'll be back to wine me up again
[Chorus:]
Wine me up turn me on and watch me cry for you
Lately drinkin' warm red wine is all I want to do
I never know how tight I'll wine me up 'til I walk in
I don't care cause I'll be back to wine me up again
I'd like to thank the folks who raise the grapes way up in California
And I'm hopin this will be their biggest year
'Cause scarlet waters all that's left to keep me hangin on
That's why I'll try to wine me up each day and night next year
Cause I've got teh biggest heartache of the year
And each night those swingin' doors reach out to me and draw me in
'Cause they know each night that I'll be back to wine me up again
[Chorus:]
Wine me up turn me on and watch me cry for you
Lately drinkin' warm red wine is all I want to do
I never know how tight I'll wine me up 'til I walk in
I don't care cause I'll be back to wine me up again
I'd like to thank the folks who raise the grapes way up in California
And I'm hopin this will be their biggest year
'Cause scarlet waters all that's left to keep me hangin on
That's why I'll try to wine me up each day and night next year
Wake Up Screaming lyrics - gary allan
Used to sleep through the night peacefully
Not a care in the world got to me
But now I lay me down to sleep
I'm afraid of what I might see
I wake up screamin' when your dream goes by
Used to feel like a man in control
Unaware of the storm in my soul
The sight of you took away my breath
I wake up screamin' when your dream goes by
Now in this dream I'm in a room
All dressed up just like a groom
Watchin' shadows dance in the ledge
Suddenly you then appear you whisper in my hear
And I jump right over the edge
Just a dream that I seem to recall
Can't you tell me which doctor to call
Tell him please I'm not feelin too well
Everynight I'm hearin' wedding bells
I wake up screamin' when your dream goes by
I lay there in an ice cold sweat
Sheets are torn and they're soakin' wet
I wake up screamin' when your dream goes by
I wake up screamin' when your dream goes by
I wake up screamin' when your dream goes by
Not a care in the world got to me
But now I lay me down to sleep
I'm afraid of what I might see
I wake up screamin' when your dream goes by
Used to feel like a man in control
Unaware of the storm in my soul
The sight of you took away my breath
I wake up screamin' when your dream goes by
Now in this dream I'm in a room
All dressed up just like a groom
Watchin' shadows dance in the ledge
Suddenly you then appear you whisper in my hear
And I jump right over the edge
Just a dream that I seem to recall
Can't you tell me which doctor to call
Tell him please I'm not feelin too well
Everynight I'm hearin' wedding bells
I wake up screamin' when your dream goes by
I lay there in an ice cold sweat
Sheets are torn and they're soakin' wet
I wake up screamin' when your dream goes by
I wake up screamin' when your dream goes by
I wake up screamin' when your dream goes by
A Feelin' Like That lyrics - gary allan
I stepped out into the blue
Felt the wind hit my face
Before my shoot opened I felt my heart race
I was fallin
Oh that's just fallin
Off the coast of australia
I dove way down deep
For all that I saw of that Great Barrier Reef
It was nothin
Compared to you it was nothin
[Chorus]
I got Lightning in my vains
thunder in my chest.
all tangled up with you and tryin to catch my breath
I've been chasing that sensation half way
around the world and lookin' back
on what we had.
I've done it all i've seen it all but I can't find a feelin' like that.
I wound up in some town in spain
runnin with the bulls
Tryin to catch another thrill with a thousand other fools
We were runnin
Ah but thats just runnin
when I started pushin 30
it started pushin back
Well how was I to know till now you'd be such a hard act to follow
Nothin seems to follow
[chorus]
I got Lightning in my vains
thunder in my chest.
all tangled up with you and tryin to catch my breath
I've been chasing that sinsation half way
around the world and lookin' back
on what we had.
I've done it all i've seen it all but I can't find a feelin' like that.
It's like flyin down some back road at midnight
with you eyes closed and the head lights off
Your life is searchin everywhere can't find that feelin anywhere
Your all I want, now all I want is that...
Lightning in my vains
thunder in my chest.
all tangled up with you and tryin to catch my breath
I've been chasing that sensation half way
around the world and looin back
on what we have.
I've done it all i've seen it all but I can't find a feelin' like that.
thats right I've done it all
I've seen it all but I can't find a fellin like that
Felt the wind hit my face
Before my shoot opened I felt my heart race
I was fallin
Oh that's just fallin
Off the coast of australia
I dove way down deep
For all that I saw of that Great Barrier Reef
It was nothin
Compared to you it was nothin
[Chorus]
I got Lightning in my vains
thunder in my chest.
all tangled up with you and tryin to catch my breath
I've been chasing that sensation half way
around the world and lookin' back
on what we had.
I've done it all i've seen it all but I can't find a feelin' like that.
I wound up in some town in spain

As The Crow Flies lyrics - gary allan
Well, a Gypsy lady once told me
'Son you got the kind of soul that's got to be free
It ain't what you want, it's just what you need
And like a black bird, baby, you were born with the wings'
And as the crow flies, so do I
I can be gone in the blink of an eye
Next town's never too hard to find
It's never that far as the crow flies
Well, I set it down in Tennessee and got a little juice
But I caught myself a chase of them Nashville blues
I met a little girl that tried to tie me down
So I pointed it to Hollywood and put the hammer down
And as the crow flies, so do I
I can be gone in the blink of an eye
Next town's never too hard to find
It's never that far as the crow flies
Well, I live on the run, I love on the prowl
I never wasn't much on hanging around
I never look back, I never look down
I never thought once about turning around
And as the crow flies, so do I
I can be gone in the blink of an eye
Next town's never too hard to find
It's never that far as the crow flies
As the crow flies, so do I
I can be gone in the blink of an eye
Next town's never too hard to find
It's never that far as the crow flies
C-c-crow flies
'Son you got the kind of soul that's got to be free
It ain't what you want, it's just what you need
And like a black bird, baby, you were born with the wings'
And as the crow flies, so do I
I can be gone in the blink of an eye
Next town's never too hard to find
It's never that far as the crow flies
Well, I set it down in Tennessee and got a little juice
But I caught myself a chase of them Nashville blues
I met a little girl that tried to tie me down
So I pointed it to Hollywood and put the hammer down
And as the crow flies, so do I
I can be gone in the blink of an eye
Next town's never too hard to find
It's never that far as the crow flies
Well, I live on the run, I love on the prowl
I never wasn't much on hanging around
I never look back, I never look down
I never thought once about turning around
And as the crow flies, so do I
I can be gone in the blink of an eye
Next town's never too hard to find
It's never that far as the crow flies
As the crow flies, so do I
I can be gone in the blink of an eye
Next town's never too hard to find
It's never that far as the crow flies
C-c-crow flies
