Adam Gregory Album

How do you explain the way
The stars just hang way up in the sky?
And how do you explain the way
Rain goes away whenever you walk by?

It's a mystery just how life can lead
To a place you've never been (a place you've never been)
You've knocked on that door
A hundred times before
When it suddenly let you in

(Chorus)
I don't know why
I've been so blessed
To love someone like you (someone like you)
I don't know why
I must confess
I only know I do
Oh yeah

And how do you explain the way
My world has changed right before my eyes? (right before my eyes)
And how do you explain the way
You gave me wings
When I swore I could never fly?

It's a mystery what you've done for me
I'm in a place I've never been (a place i've never been)
I've knocked on that door
A hundred times before
You've suddenly let me in

(Chorus)
I don't know why
I've been so blessed
To love someone like you (someone like you)
I don't know why
I must confess
I only know i do

In my heart
I won't question baby
I'll just lay here
In your arms

(Chorus X2)
I don't know why
I've been so blessed
To love someone like you
I don't know why
I must confess
I only know I do

I don't know why
I've been so blessed
To love someone like you (someone like you)
I don't know why
I must confess
I only know I
I do
Oh baby
I do

Sittin' on the front porch,
Rockin' on the porch swing,
Wailin' on the radio,
Listnin' to the crickets sing,
ie yi yippi ie, Yippie ie yeah
While the sun shines,
Better make hay-ya

CHORUS 1

And everything's gonna be alright
oh oh ya, ringin' those horseshoes oh oh ya

Kickin' back, Kickin' butt, knockin' on wood
There otta be a law against feelin' this good,
Life is a rodeo, a one horse town,
Get back up when it kicks you down.

CHORUS 2

And I feel like Gretzky on a breakaway,
For no good reason things are going my way,
And I got to tell ya life I, love it, love it, love it Yeah!

CHORUS 3

Down in Dallas
Lord those girls are fine
In Carolina
They make you lose your mind sometimes
But it don't matter
It's wasted on me
'Cause everywhere I go
You are the only one I see

(Chorus)
So hang a sign on the wall
There's no vacancy
No more rooms at all
This heart is taken, yeah
No more vacancies
This heart is taken... This heart is taken
No vacancy

Try round the corner
There might be something there
But this heart hotel is all booked up
Nothing to spear
Once it was empty
But not any more
The do not disturb is right there
On the front door

(Chorus repeat)

Like, Panama City on spring break baby
In the whole darn town there's not a place to stay
But honey, you've always got a reservation
Anytime...everyday

(Chorus repeat)

I work at the Big Star on old 405
I make 6 bucks an hour
And I work steady nights
Well it might not be much but it's all that I need
In that little glass booth, in that highway to dreams

I was not that good of a student in school
But this life tought me lessons
That made me no fool
Oh my mom and dad raised me by that golden rule
In a world that gets ruthless
A world that gets cruel

(Chorus)
Fill'er up
Let me check you oil sir
Cash or card
Let me get you change
Just turn right when you see that big church sign
Just go straight and you'll be on your way

I had me a girl once
And my ring she wore
But her father said she could not see me no more
Oh I know it'd be different if I weren't so poor
So I'm writing these songs
Trying to open some doors

(Chorus)

Well thats enough crying
Over used-to-be's
Got to write me some songs
Get that girl back to me
I'm a man with conviction
I've got things to do
When that sun starts rising
My night shifts are through

(Chorus)

I work at the big star on old 405

I dreamt last night I was far away
Where coyotes howl and cotton woods sway
Casting shadows in the firelight
A cowboy moon burns so bright

And I dont care if its rain or shine
And all my troubles will be miles behind
Unite the reins and change my course
And close my eyes and saddle my horse

Out in the open where the buffalo roam
thats where i'll make my home
don't need no highway, don't need no roof
cactus cowboys know the truth

i've been living in a roy rogers song
something bout where my heart belongs
my horse and i will never give in
we'll ride away in a western wind

I dreamt last night I was far away
Where coyotes howl and cotton woods sway

I'D LIKE TO THINK JOHN WAYNE'S OUT THERE
ON HIS HORSE THE WIND IN HIS HAIR
SOMEWHERE RIDING OUT THERE
AND I'D LIKE TO BELIEVE THERE'S SOMEONE FOR ME
THAT GOD MADE ESPECIALLY
CUSTOM MADE FOR ME

CHORUS

THAT'S JUST THE WAY I'M MADE I'M PUT TOGETHER
BAILING WIRE AND STRING
WHAT NOT WHATEVER COMES MY WAY
THAT'S THE WAY I'M MADE

AND I'D LIKE TO WORK HARD IN THE SUN
AND DO MY JOB TILL THE DAY IS DONE
WORK JUST AS HARD AT HAVING FUN
AND I'D LIKE TURN TURN THE MUSIC UP
THE WINDOWS DOWN WE'LL KICK UP SOME DUST
THAT'S JUST WHAT I LOVE

THAT'S JUST THE WAY I'M MADE I'M PUT TOGETHER
BAILING WIRE AND STRING
WHAT NOT WHATEVER COMES MY WAY
THAT'S THE WAY I'M MADE
THAT'S THE WAY I'M MADE

AND JUST BE YOURSELF BE WHO YOU ARE
SAY WHAT YOU MEAN SPEAK FROM THE HEART
MEAN WHAT YOU SAY FINISH WHAT YOU START
AND JUST BE YOURSELF BE WHO YOU ARE
JUST BE WHO YOU ARE

I'D LIKE TO THINK JOHN WAYNE'S OUT THERE
ON HIS HORSE THE WIND IN HIS HAIR
SOMEWHERE RIDING OUT THERE
AND I'D LIKE TO BELIEVE THERE'S SOMEONE FOR ME
THAT GOD MADE ESPECIALLY
CUSTOM MADE FOR ME

THAT'S JUST THE WAY I'M MADE I'M PUT TOGETHER
BAILING WIRE AND STRING
WHAT NOT WHATEVER COMES MY WAY
THAT'S THE WAY I'M MADE
THAT'S THE WAY I'M MADE
THAT'S THE WAY I'M MADE
THAT'S THE WAY I'M MADE YEAH
THAT'S THE WAY I'M MADE YEAH

LONG AGO MY DADDY SPOKE UP HE SAID SON I THINK

WITH ME
I THOUGHT I KNEW WHAT WAS COMING NEXT MYSTERIES
OF THE OPPOSITE SEX BOYS AND GIRLS AND BIRDS AND
BEES
A FATHER SON CONVERSATION A LITTLE HEART TO HEART
ADVICE
HE SAID IT'S TIME YOU LEARN THE FACTS OF LIFE

GET IT RIGHT
WITHOUT THE LOWS YOU DON'T APPRECIATE THE HIGHS

THE'RE CALLED GROWING PAINS BECAUSE THEY HURT
IF YOU SPIT IN THE WIND WEAR A DIRTY SHIRT
DON'T TRY TO TALK WHEN YOUR MOUTH IS FULL OF FOOD
WHEN IT'S COLD OUTSIDE GIVE A GIRL YOU COAT
BE KIND TO FOLKS THAT ARE GROWING OLD CAUSE
IN THEIR HEARTS THEY FEEL LIKE 14 TOO
AND ALWAYS TIP YOUR WAITRESS CAUSE SHE MIGHT HAVE
A CHILD OR TWO
BRUSH YOUR TEETH AND ALWAYS TELL THE TRUTH

IT DON'T MAKE YOU WEAK TO TURN YOUR CHEEK FOR
A MAN TO CRY
ALWAYS STAND TALL AND IF YOU GET IT WRONG BOY

THESE ARE THE FACTS OF LIFE

FACTS OF LIFE

I'm getting there yeah
I got a ways to go
But I'm getting there
The memories don't hurt like before
I'm getting there
I'm getting there

It's half past loving you
A quarter 'til I
Find a love that's new
Time will heal the heart
That's broken in two
It's half past loving you
It's half past loving you

I'm getting there yeah
I got some work to do
But I'm getting there
Everyday I'm a little more over you
I'm getting there
I'm getting there

Someday I'm gonna wake up and not be
thinkin' about you baby
Someday

They say we're too young to know
We're too young to fall in love
But all I keep dreaming of
Is marrying you

They say we're too young to know
Then how come it hurts inside
And how come I cry at night
When you say we are through
They don't understand a thing
Nothing will change our plans
They say, let it go
'Cause we're too young to know

They say we spend too much time together
Too many hours alone
The night on the telephone
Just me and you

They say it's for our own good
That we should stay apart
But what is a broken heart
Supposed to do

When tears fall from my eyes
Like rain from the silver skies
Let this heartache go
'Cause we're too young to know

And if there's a chance one day
That we could run away
Would our love grow
They say we're too young to know

I used to wonder why the songs on the radio
Always seemed to be about love.
If you look
Every book, every TV show
Is just full of that stuff.

They write about it, talk about it, inside and out.
They even cry about it
For crying out loud.
Oh but now that I've got it,
I get it now.

It ain't cool to sing love songs
But I'm singing one to you
And it ain't cool to sing love songs
But I'm giving one to you.
And if you laugh at me
That's how it's gonna be
Cuz I'm doin' it,
Yes it's true.
Oh cuz now that I've got it,
Love is cool.

The way folks go on and on about it
They're gonna wear the word out.
And every time you see a poor fool fall in it
That's all he talks about.
I never understood why the subject of love
Was the biggest thing around.
Oh but now that I've got it.
I get it now.

It ain't cool to sing love songs
But I'm singing one to you
And it ain't cool to sing love songs
But I'm giving one to you.
And if you laugh at me
That's how it's gonna be
Cuz I'm doin' it,
Yes it's true.
Oh cuz now that I've got it,
Love is cool.

Love is cool.
Love is cool, baby.
Oh yeah
What's a poor boy,
What's a poor boy to do, yeah?

It ain't cool to sing love songs
But I'm singing one to you
And it ain't cool to sing love songs
But I'm giving one to you.
And if you laugh at me
That's how it's gonna be
Cuz I'm doin' it,
Yes it's true.
Oh cuz now that I've got it,
Love is cool, yeah.

Love is cool, yeah.
Love is cool, baby.
Oh love is cool.

Cool...
Oh love is cool.

SHE STARES AT THAT RING ON HER FINGER WITH A FAR
AWAY LOOK IN HER EYES
SHE THINKS OF THE MEMORIES THAT LINGER
OF THE GOOD DAYS THAT QUICKLY FLEW BY
AND SHE REMEMBERS WHEN A YOUNG MAN WOULD SAY
THAT HE'D FOUND THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE
SHE GAVE HIM HER HAND AND HE PLACED ON A BAND
AND ASKED HER IF SHE'D BE HIS WIFE

SOME MAY VALUE IT'S SILVER
AND SOME MAY VALUE IT'S GOLD
BUT SHE KNOWS NO GREATER VALUE THAN THE
MEMORIES IT HOLDS

SHE ADDED A STONE WHEN THE CHILDREN WERE BORN
AND HER HUSBAND NOW LOOKS DOWN FROM ABOVE.
SHE'S LIVED A GOOD LIFE AS A MOTHER AND WIFE
AND THE RING IS A SYMBOL OF LOVE

SOME MAY VALUE IT'S SILVER
AND SOME MAY VALUE IT'S GOLD
BUT SHE HOLDS NO GREATER VALUE THAN THE
MEMORIES IT HOLDS

AND HER FRIENDS KNOW WHEN TO LEAVE HER ALONE
THEY CAN TELL SHE NEEDS TIME TO CRY
SHE STARES AT THAT RING ON HER FINGER WITH A FAR
AWAY LOOK IN HER EYES

SOME MAY VALUE IT'S SILVER
SOME MAY VALUE IT'S GOLD
BUT SHE KNOWS NO GREATER VALUE THAN THE
MEMORIES IT HOLDS

THAN THE MEMORIES IT HOLDS

I SAT ON THE COUCH WITH A BOOK IN MY HAND
I THOUGHT OF ALL THE GOOD TIMES THAT I'VE HAD
BUT EVEN THOUGH LIFE'S SOMETIMES HARD AND IT'S HARD TO UNDERSTAND
THE SKY IS THE LIMIT SO DO WITH IT WHAT YOU CAN

CHORUS

OH THE SKY'S THE LIMIT
OH THE SKY NEVER ENDS
EVEN THOUGH LIFE'S A STRUGGLE ONE DAY IT WILL END
SO MAKE THE BEST OF WHAT YOU HAVE BE IT GOOD OR BE IT BAD
OH THE SKY'S THE LIMIT SO DO WITH IT WHAT YOU CAN

I WAKE UP EVERY MORNING WITH A SMILE UPON MY FACE
THE DAY SEEMS SO EXCITING I COULD NEVER COMPLAIN
MY FAMILY IS SO SUPPORTIVE THERE THE BEST THAT A BOY COULD HAVE
SO TAKE EACH DAY FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH
THEN YOU'LL UNDERSTAND

OH THE SKY'S THE LIMIT
OH THE SKY NEVER ENDS
EVEN THOUGH LIFE'S A STRUGGLE ONE DAY IT WILL END
SO MAKE THE BEST OF WHAT YOU HAVE BE IT GOOD OR BE IT BAD
OH THE SKY'S THE LIMIT SO DO WITH IT WHAT YOU CAN
OH BABY

OH THE SKY'S THE LIMIT
OH THE SKY NEVER ENDS
EVEN THOUGH LIFE'S A STRUGGLE ONE DAY IT WILL END
SO MAKE THE BEST OF WHAT YOU HAVE BE IT GOOD OR BE IT BAD
OH THE SKY'S THE LIMIT SO DO WITH IT WHAT YOU CAN

OH THE SKY'S THE LIMIT SO DO WITH IT WHAT YOU CAN
OH BABY
DO WITH IT WHAT YOU CAN

He's been riding that rodeo
From town to town
From show to show
He's got a restless wandering soul
His horse and saddle is his home

And she loves him
more than he knows
Yeah she loves him
enough to let him go

Let your horses all run free
Let your wings take you
As high as you can dream
She won't let you see her cry
As she's waving goodbye
She can't tame you
He's leaving that cowgirl with the blues

You can't hold that west wind long
It's got a sad low mournful song
They dream of someday making a home
But with the sunrise he'll be moving on
And she'll miss him more than he knows
Yeah she'll kiss him and tell him when he goes

And she loves him
more than he knows
Yeah she loves him
enough to let him go
