Billy Gilman Album

Racing down the highway
Road's open wide
A modern-day young gun
On a steel horse ride
Feeling like an outlaw I'm Billy the kid
Makin' most of this moment
'Cause who knows when it will all end

Always on the run
And whatever comes
I'm stickin' to my guns

Chorus
They still call me Billy the kid
I'm still wanted for what I did
The price of fame is on my head
Can't shoot down old Billy the kid

Been told many times
To get outta town
I could walk away, baby
But I was born to fight
And I still believe
The west can be born to fight
And I still believe
The west can be won
I'll keep chasing those sunsets
With an angel riding shotgun

Papers say I'm dead
But I ain't buried yet
Still got bullets left

Chorus
They still call me Billy the kid
I'm still wanted for what I did
The price of fame is on my head
Can't shoot down old Billy the kid

I see her climbing my fence
She's throwing stones up at my window
She loves the midnight hour
She wants to play and that's all I need to know
I opened the door to the back porch
Barefoot on the cold floor
Didn't know where she was coming from
But that's what I'm goin' for

Chorus
And it seems like the sun never goes down
When the daylight fades on this side of town
And we're dancin' around
Under the southern stars
And it feels like there's nothin' but wide open sky
When you're spreadin' your wings and learning to fly
And you get so high you can't forget where you are
I can't come down
I've gone too far
Wishing on a southern star

We take the long way home
That's where you find your dreams come true
Lying under the falling leaves
That's when you change your point of view
I fell in love that summer
And I tried to tell her
But just try to catch an eagle
Like you could ever

Chorus
Chorus Outro

Yeah, it seems like the sun never goes down
When the daylight fades on this side of town
And we're dancin' around under the southern stars
I can't come down, I've gone too far
I'm wishin' on my southern star

If you ever forget to remember
This night and all that is meant
If you ever can't see
What you meant to me
Let me remind you again

If you ever look and can't find me
Your heart will know where I've been
If you memory slips
And you can't feel this kiss
Let me remind you again

Bridge
We'll always have this moment
It belongs to the two of us
And I only pray
That every day
We'll always remember
The way it was

So let's make this night last forever
Who says all good things must end
And when we're old and gray
And memories fade
I'll still be loving you then
And I will remind you again

Solo
And when we're old and gray
And memories fade
I'll still be loving you then
And I will remind you again
Let me remind you again

Hey girl, take the wheel
I can't drive anymore
What I want is to park this car
When I'm with you
And wait till the cops come around

Chorus
Gonna find love if we keep this up
Can't stop, we feel the rush
If we keep foolin' around and it gets crazy enough
We're gonna find love

First time I met you
It crossed my mind
Your next kiss and your last kiss
Are gonna be mine
And I'd say we're right on time

Chorus
Gonna find love if we keep this up
Can't stop, we feel the rush
If we keep foolin' around
And it gets crazy enough
We're gonna find love

Steamy windows
There's no way out
One more kiss
Are you with me now

Solo
Chorus
Gonna find love if we keep this up
Can't stop, we feel the rush
If we keep foolin' around
And it gets crazy enough
We're gonna find love

Slow down, get real
Those innocent eyes can't conceal
You're lost, can't find your way
You don't belong
Behind the wheel

Chorus
Your designated driver, that's me
And we're drivin' down dream street
The pedal to the floor
And we're headed for heaven's door
With the keys to your heart I'm your
Designated driver

The party's over, you've had enough
One little teardrop is one too much
One shot of pain, one splash of love
You better watch your step
This stuff is dangerous

Chorus
Your designated driver, that's me
And we're drivin' down dream street
The pedal to the floor
And we're headed for heaven's door
With the keys to your heart I'm your
Designated driver

You look nervous, losin' your balance
You're gonna have to walk the line
'Cause baby you're gonna be mine

Solo
Chorus

This ain't no limousine
But it can take you places
You've never seen

Chorus

Hey clueless why you do you always do this
Do I have to go through this with you again
Cryin' on my shoulder
Whenever the nights grow colder
And you need more than another fair weather friend
Will it end before sundown
Before the prettiest girl in this town
Runs away from a showdown with me again

Chorus
(Look at me now)
Come on baby, you need a rock you can't toss out
When you're under the covers
You think you're so strong
Holdin' on to me now
You know why you come around
I'm the rock you can't toss out

Don't kiss me say you're gonna miss me
Then ditch me till you come back again
Don't touch me
Tell me how much you love me
If you're not gonna love me
Like the world's gonna end
Maybe I never told you
That I want to hold you
And never wanted to be just friends

Chorus
(Look at me now)
Come on baby, you need a rock you can't toss out
When you're under the covers
You think you're so strong
Holdin' on to me now
You know why you come around
I'm the rock you can't toss out

I know you want to see me
'Cause you're always at my door
Do you leave 'cause you're afraid of seeing something more

Chorus outro
…You know why you come around, look at me now,
I'm the rock you can't toss out

You say you made your decision
It's final, you're leavin'
And that's that
You say you're bustin' out of this prison
All this takin' and no givin'
And there's no turnin' back
Did you think I'd hold the door for you
I thought you knew me better than that

Chorus
I won't let you turn and walk away
Won't pretend that everything's OK
I won't wish you well
The way you want me to
Sorry, baby I won't make it easy for you

I always admired your conviction
How you stood up for yourself
When things got rough
I had a moment of indecision, there's no forgivin'
And sorry's not enough
You always told me not to give up
So why are you givin' up on us?

Chorus
…To vanish into thin air

Solo
I won't wish you well the way you want me to
Baby can't you tell that's just too hard to do
Sorry baby I won't make it easy for you

w/ Pam Tillis

I'm almost goin' to the movies
And hangin' out with my friends
I'm almost seein' somebody new
I'm almost over getting over you

I'm almost comin' to my senses
But still a litle out of my mind
I'm almost happy but still a little blue
I'm almost over getting over you

Bridge
I know our love has ended
And we should be apart
But how can you live with
An almost mended broken heart

Solo
Bridge
I know our loved has ended
And we should be apart
But how can you live with
An almost mended broken heart

I'm almost sleepin' like a baby
I almost make it through the night
I'm ready to accept it's really true
I'm almost over, I can't believe it's over
I'm almost over getting over you

You know I see you hiding
In your little corner of the world
Read all the poem you're writing
'Bout a scared and lonely girl
Who doesn't know how much
I need to feel her warm and tender touch

Chorus
If you could see yourself through my eyes
You'd know that true love never lies
And you would realize how beautiful you are
If you could see yourself the way I do
You'd know that I loved you
Since the moment that you looked into my eyes

I need to tell you that the sunlight
Is always shining in your hair
I need to tell you nothin' feels right
Unless you're there
And you don't even know
That in my dreams I never let you go

Chorus
If you could see yourself through my eyes
You'd know that true love never lies
And you would realize how beautiful you are

Oooh how long has it been
Since somebody told you
You could hold your head up high above the rest
'Cause baby, you're the best

Solo
Just let me love you and you'll realize
How beautiful you are
If you could see yourself the way I do
You'd know that I loved you
Since the moment that you looked into
My eyes

It amazes me
How I can see
That there is still so much more
After all this time
It's not hard to find
Why I adore you
Your smile, your heart, my friend
You make me all that I am

Chorus
If you can tell me how
I could love you more than I do now
I will
And I know without a doubt
I will give you all I have to give
As long as I live
I will

As the years go by
I know that I
Will never leave your side
You're the world to me
And I'll always be
Right here for you
Until the last breath I take
I'm yours, for the rest of my days

Chorus
I can't imagine how
I would be now
Without you here with me

Solo
Chorus
I will give you all I have to give
For as long as I live
I will

Even if the pipes are knockin' and the walls are thin
We keep on rockin' like a cradle in the wind
We ain't got much money but we got enough
We got the power of young love

Who cares if the roof is leakin' and the paint is old
The stove is broken but we'll never be cold
Rubbin' two hearts together to warm up
That's the power of...

Chorus
Young love, it's like a runaway train
Young blood, running through our veins
One kiss and I feel the pain
And I love the power of
Young love

We grew up together in our hometown
Got used to seein' each other around
And then one night it happened and it didn't take much
The band played just for us and...

Chorus

The old folks complain about the kids today
But they were us just yesterday
All we need is the stars above
Cause we got the power of young lvoe

Chorus

Young love, it's a burnin' flame
Young blood can't be contained
Washes over me like the falling rain
And I love the power of young love, young love, young love

We got the power of young love

Deep in the valley of our soul
Tired of worries you can't control
With so many mountains left to climb
Unanswered questions left to find

Chorus
We go on
We go on
It's the first lesson learned when you're born
On the wings of angels
We ride out the storm
You and me
We go on

Pull a stranger from the water
And in that moment he's your brother
There's a gift when you receive him
Love is the greatest reason

Chorus
We go on
We go on
It's the first lesson learned when you're born
On the wings of angels
We ride out the storm
You and me
We go on

Faith happens when you can't see
Against all odds you believe

Chorus
We go on
We go on
It's the first lesson learned when you're born
On the wings of angels
We ride out the storm
You and me
We go on

One time in everybody's life
There is a moment
Like the moment we knew
And if you're a fool
You'll let it slip away

I'm dancing with a shadow
Holding on to a dream that'll never come true
Still haunted by that old love song
And my moonlight memories of you

My heart is like a ghost town
To every stranger who passes on through
All they find there
Is what you left behind there
My moonlight memories of you

You thought when you left me
I'll let you go
But here I am
Loving you more
Then you'll ever know

If I could hold you
Feel your heart beat
Just one more time
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
'Cause without your love
I'll never be free of
My moonlight memories of you

I'm dancing with a shadow of
My moonlight memories of you
My moonlight memories of you

Tried to reach you
With a love song
To let you know you're on my mind
I made a record
It made me famous
Called the one you left behind

Fame and fortune
May have found me
Oh, but fate can be so unkind
Because of you
They come to see me
They love the one you left behind

Chorus
Ten thousand people know the words are true
They cry for me
As I cry for you
But when the curtain falls
And the show is through
I'm still cryin' for you

When it's over
And I'm forgotten
They'll still be playin' this song of mine
And you may wonder
Whatever happened
To the one you left behind

Chorus
Ten thousand people know the words are true
They cry for me
As I cry for you
But when the curtain falls
And the show is through
I'm still cryin' for you

When it's over
And I'm forgotten
They'll still be playin' this song of mine
And you may wonder
Whatever happened
To the one you left behind

Yes, you may wonder
Whatever happened
To the one you left behind
Mmm hmmm
