I'll Take Today lyrics - gary allan

Yeah, she's the one
The one I told you all about
Yeah, it was serious, but it was long ago
She just might walk over here
And give me a kiss for old times
But don't you worry dear
Old times, next to you, can never come close

I'll take today over yesterday, anyday
I'll take lyin' in your arms tonight
Over and above any love, I've known
Memories may find me, but they'll always be behind me
I'll take today over yesterday, anyday

I'd be lyin' if I tried to tell you now
That I never loved her
And she doesn't ever cross my mind
But that was yesterday, and baby, I don't wanna go back
Here is where I'm gonna stay
With you in each tomorrow of my life

I'll take today over yesterday, anyday
I'll take lyin' in your arms tonight
Over and above any love, I've known
Memories may find me, but they'll always be behind me
I'll take today over yesterday, anyday

Memories may find me, but they'll always be behind me
I'll take today over yesterday, anyday

I Ain't Runnin' Yet lyrics - gary allan

I've come to see it's a pattern with me
To make a fast getaway
Everytime I get a little too near to love
Somebody gets too close
The next thing I know
I'm up and gone again
Chasin' the wind and the distant stars above

Ah girl
But I don't know what's been goin' on
Since the night we met
All I know is
I ain't runnin' yet

Girl I can see when you look at me
You're lookin' for a sign
That somewhere in this heart of mine there's a place for you
But I want you to know
When those feelings show
That's what chases me away
But tonight I just gotta stay and see this through

Ah girl
But I don't know what's been goin' on
Since the night we met
All I know is
I ain't runnin' yet

I ain't runnin' away from the love I see so deep in your eyes
I ain't runnin' away and I can't even say just why
Oh I don't know what's been going on since the night we met
All I know is I ain't runnin' yet

I ain't runnin' away from the love I see so deep in your eyes
I ain't runnin' away and I can't even say just why
Oh I don't know what's been going on since the night we met
All I know is I ain't runnin' yet

Girl I don't know what's been goin' on
Since the night we met
All I know is
I ain't runnin' yet

She Loves Me, She Don't Love You lyrics - gary allan

Well, I can see you're dancing every dance with her
And it seems to me you're dancing much too close to her
When you're sitting at our table you're sitting next to her
But my heart knows that it's true that she loves me, she don't love you

Well let me tell you friend I'm wise to your lies
Even telling me that I'm the guy for her
And every little thing that you do and say
Has given me the way you're in love with her

Well just one more dance with her
And friend you're gonna see
What it's like to hit the floor
And do a little dance with me
So here's your coat and here's your hat
I think you'd better leave
'Cause she just told me it's true
She loves me, she don't love you

Well let me tell you friend I'm wise to your lies
Even telling me that I'm the guy for her
And every little thing that you do and say
Has given me the way you're in love with her

Well just one more dance with her
And friend you're gonna see
What it's like to hit the floor
And do a little dance with me
So here's your coat and here's your hat
I think you'd better leave
'Cause she just told me it's true
She loves me, she don't love you

So here's your coat and here's your hat
I think you'd better leave
'Cause she just told me it's true
She loves me, she don't love you

I've Got A Quarter In My Pocket lyrics - gary allan

I've got a quarter in my pocket
Won't you tell me what I should do
Should I put it in the phone
So I can come crawling home to you
Or should I put it in the jukebox
And play another heartbreak song
I'm leaning towards the latter
And I really hate being alone

Gonna flip it in the air
Gonna watch it fly
If it's heads I might love again
If it's tails I'll cry

I've got a quarter in my pocket
Won't you tell me what I should do
Should I put it in the phone
So I can come crawling home to you
Or should I put it in the jukebox
And play another heartbreak song
I'm leaning towards the latter
And I really hate being alone

Here I am again
On the same ol' stool
With the same ol' question
And the mind of a fool

I've got a quarter in my pocket
Won't you tell me what I should do
Should I put it in the phone
So I can come crawling home to you
Or should I put it in the jukebox
And play another heartbreak song
I'm leaning towards the latter
And I really hate being alone

Well I've got a quarter in my pocket
And I really hate being alone

Baby I Will lyrics - gary allan

If he don't dream 'bout you night after night
If you don't think that he's treatin' you right
If he don't worship the ground that you walk on
It's easy to see somethin's wrong

I can't stand to see you cry
Over love that just ain't real
If he don't love you
Baby I will

If he don't whisper sweet words in your ear
Things a good woman loves to hear
Why can't you see what he's puttin' you through
How long can your heart beat feelin' so blue

I can't stand to see you cry
Over love that just ain't real
If he don't love you
Baby I will
Baby I will

I can't stand to see you cry
Over love that just ain't real
If he don't love you
Baby I will
Baby I will
Baby I will

Red Lips, Blue Eyes, Little White Lies lyrics - gary allan

Red lips, blue eyes and little white lies
Oh darlin' I'm a fool for you
Hey darlin' why can't you can be true

Red lips, blue eyes and sweet disguise
Oh darlin' the things you put me through
Your little white lies are breaking my heart in two

You come around and tell me that you love me so
You take a little loving then you say you gotta go
I know he's waiting for you on the other side of town
Well I'm a fool to love you baby 'cause I know you're messing around

Red lips, blue eyes and little white lies
Oh darlin' why can't you be true
I'm crazy to love you baby you know I do, yeah

Sooner or later you'll have to face the truth
Little white lies will catch up with you
With nowhere to run and no where to hide
And no one to love you there by your side

Red lips, blue eyes and little white lies
Oh darlin' the things you put me through
But your little white lies are gonna catch up with you
Oh your little white lies are gonna catch up with you
Baby your little white lies are gonna catch up with you

It Took Us All Night Long To Say Goodbye lyrics - gary allan

It only took a minute for us to finally end it
I guess we'd seen it comin' for some time
And it only took one hour to sit and talk it over
But it took us all night long to say goodbye

Now the flame is gone I know
And the ashes have grown cold
And the love we had we'll never have again
But there's one ember left that must have never died
'Cause it took us all night long to say goodbye

Too many tears have fallen, too many dreams were broken
And holdin' on would be a waste of time
But sometimes I know I'll wonder if it was really over
'Cause it took us all night to say goodbye

Now the flame is gone I know
And the ashes have grown cold
And the love we had we'll never have again
But there's one ember left that must have never died
'Cause it took us all night long to say goodbye

There's one ember left that must have never died
'Cause it took us all night long to say goodbye

Forgotten, But Not Gone lyrics - gary allan

Her birthday came and went without a card, or a single I love you
On their anniversary she sat all alone at a table set for two
She tries her best to please him, but she never hears one single word of praise
She feels just like a stranger, in a home where love has seen its better days

Well he's taken her for granted
God only knows why she keeps hangin' on
'Cause it's better to be gone, but not forgotten
Than to be forgotten, but not gone

Somehow he can't remember, when he's late to even take the time to call
And even on the nights he's there she gets the feeling he's not there at all
She's become a prisoner in that big old house where sweet love used to be
Well, it's not even over but Lord she feels just like a memory

Well he's taken her for granted
God only knows why she keeps hangin' on
'Cause it's better to be gone, but not forgotten
Than to be forgotten, but not gone

'Cause it's better to be gone, but not forgotten
Gone, but not forgotten
Than to be forgotten, but not gone

No Judgment Day lyrics - gary allan

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

"Used Heart For Sale" (1996)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
