Jack Ingram Album

Sometimes you get beat up good
Drive yourself crazy being misunderstood
Sometimes you want to throw the towel in
But you come swinging like you just might win

Keep on, keep on keepin' on
Push it on down the line
Keep on, keep on keepin' on
Keep from gettin' further behind

Some days you wonder what it all means
Some nights ain't as bad as it seems
Sometimes you think you been had
Run yourself ragged in a world gone mad

Keep on, keep on keepin' on
Push it on down the road
Keep on, keep on keepin' on
Still got a ways to go

Keep on, keep on keepin' on
Push it on down the line
Keep on, keep on keepin' on
Keep from gettin' further behind

Some things ain't meant to be
The best things in life are free
And tomorrow is another day
Funny how the truth sounds so cliche

Keep on, keep on keepin' on
Push it on down the road
Keep on, keep on keepin' on
Still got a ways to go

Keep on, keep on keepin' on
Push it on down the line
Keep on, keep on keepin' on
Keep from gettin' further behind

The neon's burning both ends of another night
Everybody's living way to loud
Tryin' hard to act like everything's alright
Anything to keep from coming down

Chorus
Fool, you're fooling yourself
Don't you know that closing time will tell
If you think think you're fooling anybody else
Fool, you're fooling yourself

Telling anyone who'll listen that it won't be long
Any day now she'll come back to you
And you'll forgive her everything that she's done wrong
You figure it's the least that you can do

Chorus
Fool, you're fooling yourself
Don't you know that closing time will tell
If you think think you're fooling anybody else
Fool, you're fooling yourself

There ain't no problem you can't solve with one more beer
But there's nothing you can do about last call
You don't to go home but you can't stay here
It's too bad you ain't got no place to fall

Chorus 2X
Fool, you're fooling yourself
Don't you know that closing time will tell
If you think think you're fooling anybody else
Fool, you're fooling yourself

Fool, you're fooling yourself

What makes you say the things you say
What did I do so wrong today
Where did you learn how to cut me so deep
When did I let you get so far away from me

And I know that we stood there and promised each other forever
God knows we’ve tried for so long now and nothing gets better
Loving you is all that I have ever known
But the truth hits and I know we’d be better off alone

And I know that we stood there and promised each other forever
God knows we’ve tried for too long now and nothing gets beter
Stand here in the silence that remains
Loving you still does not change a thing

Verse 1:
I used to be so down and out
I used to be so blue
Now the only thing I talk about
Your the only thing I knew
Spin around like a school kid
Just off the marry-go-round
If im busy it's cause' im headed
To the one good thing I've found

Chourus:
One thing is good as gold
Hey I'm nothing without you to hold
Yeah the one thing I know in this world
Is I need you to be my girl

Verse 2:
I got so good at hiding
I could'nt find myself
Yeah but baby you got me smiling
Now I feel like sombody else
Guess you changed my makeup
I aint the same sad clown
And ever since you showed up
Well it's just aint the same sad town

Chorus:
One thing is good as gold
Hey I;m nothing without you to hold
Yeah one thing I know in this world
Is I need you to be my girl


Outro:
One thing...
Is good as gold
Hey I'm nothing without
You to hold
Yeah the one thing
I know
In this world
Is I need you to
Be my girl
Yeah the one thing
Is good as gold
Hey I'm nothing without you to hold
Yeah the one thing
I know
In this world
Is I need you
Be my girl
Be my girl
Your the one thing
Your the one thing
Yeah your the one thing

Everybody loves you
Everybody’s scared
Everybody hates you
Nobody cares
Everybody’s crying
Everybody’s free
Everybody’s fortune
Just looks like luck to me

Chorus

What are we so afraid of
Everybody sleeps alone
In our darkest hour
We all find our own way home

Everybody loves you
Well Jesus told you so
Everybody’s lying
Hell, even Jesus knows
Everybody’s happy
And has a right to be
Everybody’s laughing
I think the joke’s on me

Chorus

Everybody loves you
Everybody’s scared
Everybody hates you
Nobody cares

Everything I ever wanted
Is one lie away
To be so close and now to know
There’s nothing we can say
For the things I can’t take back
Severely I will pay
And everything I ever wanted
Is one lie away

Chorus

Being so wrong doesn’t take long
But not holding on goes on and on

And if you could see
What’s left of me
Has to go through everyday
You’d know everything I ever wanted
Is one lie away

Chorus

No you can’t take back your actions
Only hope and pray and change
And everything I ever wanted
Is one lie away

We all think we’re special
And I hate to have to say
There’s a bunch of us on every corner
Of any town U.S.A.
We all got our problems
We all pay our dues
So if you’re thinking no one understands
I’ve got news for you

Chorus

We’re all in this together
Whether we like it or not
So we might as well have a good time
Wit the little piece of time we got
Life’s too short to fuss and fight
So we might as well be friends
‘Cause we’re all in this together
Together till the bitter end

Everybody’s angry
Everybody’s scared
Everybody wants to feel
Like somebody cares
You ain’t got to love nobody
Or like ‘em as a matter of fact
But we’re all in this together
And tonight I got your back

Chorus 2x

This beer is colder than the shoulder you'd give me
If I were to tell you the truth
And the truth is she ain't been gone that long
But I've been wondering what I'm supposed to do
Call her up, tell her I miss her
I do but I don't wanna be with her
I can feel myself getting weaker
And I just know I've gotta see her

Chorus
I don't go with her when she leaves
But where she's goin' she takes me
I don't go with her when she leaves
But where she's goin' she takes me

You see I'm the kinda guy who likes to drive
And she's got a fast car so you know I like that
While I'm never asked to pay for gas
If it should happen I could fix a flat
You see that's the times when I come through
It's one rare moment she don't know what to do
Now I know that don't seem like much
But hey it's just enough to keep in touch

Chorus
I don't go with her when she leaves
But where she's goin' she takes me
I don't go with her when she leaves
But where she's goin' she takes me
Takes me
Take me

Now some folks like it
If at night they stay at home all by themselves
But me I go crazy thinkin'
Maybe there might not be someone else
Knocking on my door and ringing my phone
Coming to my house and taking me home
There's only one reason she don't stay
It's cause I work so damn hard to push her away

Chorus
I don't go with her when she leaves
But where she's goin' she takes me
I don't go with her when she leaves
But where she's goin' she takes me
I won't go with her
No no i won't go with her
No I won't go with her when she leaves
But where she's goin' she takes me
Take me
Take me
Take Me
Please take me

I don’t know why you surprise me
You’ve said it all before
How you’ve sold yourself short
And you deserve more

But you never leave
You wake up in the morning
You’ve slept another one off
You say, “I’m sorry I just got lost
Feeling alone and out of touch”
But you’d never leave
You’d never leave
Now you see
That you still love me

And I’m sorry that when things get strange
You look at me to lay the blame
But I love you more than you think you know
So don’t be surprised if I’m the one to go

‘Cause you’d never leave
You’d never leave
You’re waiting on me
To set you free
You’d never leave

And I dream at night I’m lying
Right there next to you
And I dream if we keep trying
We’ll pull through
But I wake up screaming
And no one’s there
And I realize that you weren’t so scared
To be the one walking out the door
And if I had been what you were looking for

You’d never leave
You’d never leave
If you were counting on me
To set you free
You’d never leave
You never leave
You set yourself free
I’ve got your memory
You never leave

I need to pray at the feet of Jesus
I need to talk for a while with him
And when I pray at the cross with Jesus
Maybe he'll forgive my sins

My friend Pete he walks with Jesus
He tells me he's never alone
And he swears if I ever should join them
He'll be there to welcome me home

I need to pray at the feet of Jesus
I need to talk for a while with him
And when I pray at the cross with Jesus
Maybe he'll forgive my sins

Yeah Pete says please don't forsake him
Yeah Pete says hey man don't be afraid
Yeah he says that Jesus has told him
He's coming to get us one day

I need to pray at the feet of Jesus
I need to talk for a while with him
And when I pray at the cross with Jesus
Maybe he'll forgive my sins

Yeah I need to pray at the feet of Jesus
I need to talk for a while with him
And when I pray at the cross with Jesus
Maybe he'll forgive all my sins

I need to pray at the cross with Jesus
And maybe he'll forgive my sins
