Gary Allan Album

Sittin Out here on the hood of this truck looking up
At a caramel colored sunset sky
Checkin my watch doin the math in my head
Counting back words to when you said goodbye
Well those runway lights are gettin brighter

Im just sittin' out here watching airplanes
Take off and fly
Tryin to figure out which one you might be on
And why you dont love me anymore
Right now im sittin' out here watching airplanes

I would've lied could've cried should've tried harder
Done anything to make you stay
I wonder what you'd do if you looked out your window
Saw me runnin down the runway just like i was crazy
That fence is too high so am i

So I'm just sittin' out here watching airplanes
Take off and fly
Tryin to figure out which one you might be on
And why you don't love me anymore
By now i know you're thirty thousand feet above me
But a million miles away, a million miles away
By now i know i outta act like you don't love me

But im just sittin' out here watching airplanes
Take off and fly
Im just sittin' out here watching airplanes
Take off and fly
Tryin to figure out which one you might be on
And why you don't love me anymore

Yeah im just sittin' out here watching airplanes
Go by, by, by
Im just sittin' out here watching airplanes
Baby bye, bye, bye

Chorus:
We touched the sun
We held the stars
We fell in love
With open hearts
We chased our dreams
That went beyond
We did it all
We touched the sun

When I look back, I'm glad we found each other
With no regrets along the way
And what was like an endless summer
Now it's dust yesterday

Repeat Chorus

And even if it's not forever
We were meant to be together
Even if it's only for a while now

Repeat Chorus

We chased our dreams
That went beyond
We did it all
We touched the sun

She's a warm summer breeze with bleach blonde hair
Like a fine red wine she can take you there
She's a walk in the sand at sunset
She's the top pulled down on the 405
She'll take you higher than Humbolt sky
She's an earthquake
And you're the fault line
So, when you feel the ground, start movin' around
Hold on tight you're in for a ride

Chorus:
'Cause she's so California
She's a wild fire out of control, headed for ya

So, when you get burned, don't say I didn't warn ya
'Cause she's so California

She's a black Mercedes on Laurel and Vine
She's a low cut dress
She's a Hollywood sign
She's a dead head on a Friday night
Oh, and she's so cool, breaking all the rules
Rising star, she'll break your heart

Repeat Chorus

She's so California

They say, I drive a little fast
Say, I like to push the limit
Everyday I'm living like it was my last
They say, I'm proud of my scars
Each one tells a story
Got guts and glory down to an art
Say, I know what it's like
To see life pass right before my eyes
Like it's a bad thing

Chorus:
I don't know about you but I was put here to live and love
So what if I don't do it like everybody else does
They say I'm out on the edge, I'm too willing to risk

Every bone, every breath, they say all I am is a crazy dream
Like it's a bad thing

So, my heart's been broke
So, I keep on falling
I'm nothing but all in when I let go
I wear it on my sleeve
Yeah, they call me a fool 'cause I still believe
Like it's a bad thing

Repeat Chrous Twice

Like it's a bad thing

I'm still learning how to pray
Trying hard not to stray
Try to see things your way
I'm still learning how to pray
I'm still learning how to trust
It's so hard to open up
And I'd do anything for us
I'm still learning how to trust

I'm still learning how to bend
How to let you in
In a world full of tears
We'll conquer all our fears
I'm still learning how to fly
I wanna take you higher
I'll be there till the end
I'll be your lover and your friend
I'm still learning how to bend

I'm just trying to understand
It's all in someone else's hands

There's always been a bigger plan
But I don't need to understand

I'm still learning how to bend
I wanna take you in
In a world full of tears
We'll conquer all our fears
I'm still learning how to fly
I wanna take you higher
I'll be there till the end
I'll be your lover and your friend
I'm still learning how to bend

I'll be there till the end
I'll be your lover and your friend
I'm still learning how to bend

I'm still learning how to bend
I'll be there till the end
I'm still learning how to bend

Got your feet wet, got your heart broke
Didn't pan out like you'd hoped
But you played fair and you swear that
Love had the damn deck stacked

And you just won't put it behind you
But you sit and you dwell on the past
Well, can't you see, you can't see tomorrow
As long as you're looking back

You had someone you could count on
You believed in bet your life on
But your back turned and the knife fell
You swear that payback is gonna be hell

Now you just can't trust anybody

'Cause that friend was just a snake in the grass
Boy, can't you see, you can't see tomorrow
As long as you're looking back

You can't move on
'Til you let go
Of what's gone

No, you're never gonna trust anybody
If you sit here and you dwell on the past
Fool can't you see, you can't see tomorrow
As long as you're looking back

Got your feet wet, got your heart broke
Didn't pan out like you'd hoped

I shoulda known when I caught the glance
That girl just wasn't no count
I shoulda run but she started to dance
That's when the money ran out

Well, she's a heartbreaker, I'm a mess
She's a tornado, I'm a trailer house, that girl's a hurricane in a dress

Chorus:
And she blows into town, loves me up and down
Just to watch me fall
She picks me up and then knocks me down again
I'm a wreck y'all, she's a wreckin' ball

She makes it easy to come down hard
She got me all tore up

I'm just a sucker with a stupid heart
Who can't get enough

Well, she's a heartbreaker, hell on wheels
She's a bulldozer, I'm just in the way of a steamroller in heels

Repeat chorus

And she's a heartbreaker, I'm a mess

Repeat chorus twice

I'm a wreck y'all
Better watch out for that wreckin' ball
Whoa, I'm mess
She's a wreckin' ball

Sometimes I Think About The Touch Of Your Skin
Taste Of Your Lips And It All Comes Rushing Back Again
I Start To Spin
I Think About You When The Skies Turn Grey
Always Reminds Me Of The Love We Made
Back When You Were Here
Here Come The Tears

Of Yesterday's Rain
Yesterday's Rain
Well It's Better To Have Loved And Lost Than Not At All
But I Still Love To Feel It Fall
Yesterday's Rain
It's Just Yesterday's Rain

I've Been Told I Shouldn't Stand In Your Rain
That's The Only Place I See Your Face
I Can See Your Face
It Took Some Time To Heal But I've Moved On

I Still Go Back In Time And Stand In Your Storms
Familiar Ones
Always Feels Like Home

In Yesterday's Rain
Yesterday's Rain
Well It's Better To Have Loved And Lost Than Not At All
But I Still Love To Feel It Fall
Yesterday's Rain
It's Just Yesterday's Rain

Let Your Memories Soak Me To The Bone
Reminds Me That I'm Not Alone
In Yesterday's Rain
It's Just Yesterday's Rain
Aww It's Just Yesterday's Rain
I Think I'll Walk
In Yesterday's Rain

We walk, we fly
We stay sober, we get high
We sleep all day, stay up all night
Right or wrong we live our lives

We work, we play
We leave and we stay
Worry 'bout tomorrow today
We laugh, cry, cuss and pray

Chorus:
Trying to matter to somebody
Trying to get the time of day
We're trying to fit into this crazy world

Somehow, somewhere, some way
Hey, that's all we're all looking for
It's never too late you know
To try and matter to the ones that matter most

I've lived, I've learned
That bridges don't just burn
That's the devil's selfish pride at work
Every chance he gets he'll take his turn

Repeat Chorus Twice

It's never too late you know
Try to matter to somebody

half of my mistakes i made stone cold sober
half of my mistakes i've made at closing time
half the time i never saw it coming until it was over
oh, and half of my mistakes i've made with love on the line

half of my mistakes i swear, i should've known better
half of my mistakes were just amongst friends
you get a little distance on it, the truth is clearer
oh, and half of my mistakes i'd probably make 'em again

chorus:
if i had it all to do over
i'm sure i'd win and lose just as much
but spend less time on right and wrong
and alot more time on love

half of my mistakes i've made cause i was movin' too quickly
half of them were made 'cause my heart was movin' too slow
nobody can tell you a damn thing, if you ain't listening
oh, and half of my mistakes i've made
'cause i couldn't let go

repeat chorus

half of my mistakes i'd give anything to change how it ended
oh, and half of my mistakes,
God, i wouldn't change one thing
you can lean too hard on a prayer but i don't recommend it
'cause half the good things in my life
came from half of my mistakes
yeah, a lot of good things in my life
came from half of my mistakes

Woke up this mornin' in yesterday's clothes
Still got my buzz from last night's show
A cup of coffee, ready to go again

I've got twenty-seven shows in twenty-seven days
Playin' junk yard guitar, gettin' paid
Gotta check the set list to tell ya what state I'm in

Chorus:
Go, listen
Livin' hard is hardly livin'
For a hard rockin', road dog, rowdy musician
Rollin' like the Stones, startin' to look like Dylan
Livin' hard is hardly livin'
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

I'm high o the stage, livin' in the spotlight
Airplane champagne, yeah, it's just what it looks like

Chasin' dreams one song at a time

Well, welcome to my world for the next ninety minutes
I'll be barin' my soul for the price of your ticket
And do it all over again tomorrow night

Repeat Chorus Twice

It's hardly livin'
Whoa, whoa
Yeah, it's hardly livin'
Rollin' like the Stones, startin' to look like Dylan
Livin' hard is hardly livin'
Wow, wow
Are you alright?
Yeah, listen
Livin' hard is hardly livin'
Whoa, whoa, whoa
