Little Big Town Album

Completely complacent
So decidedly vacant
I keep waiting for something to give
But that something is
always me
You consume what you're able
I get crumbs from your table
You call this comfortably normal
But I call it getting by
Baby, it's a fine line
I'm holding on, you're holding back
Baby, it's a fine line
Can't you hear me knockin' at your door?
But you're taking your sweet time
In love, out of touch
Baby, it's a fine line
Baby, it's a real fine line
Do you feel the distance
Like I feel resistance?
If I pulled any farther away
Would you even come after me?
But the one thing I'm fearing
Is that I'm disappearing
How can I keep believing
If you won't prove me wrong?
Baby, it's a fine line
I'm holding on, you're holding back
Baby, it's a fine line
Can't you hear me knockin' at your door?
But you're taking your sweet time
In love, out of touch
Baby, it's a fine line
Baby, it's a real fine line

Last night in Memphis
Tonight in New Orleans
Tomorrow I’ll be miles from here
Ain’t nothing to me, nothing me

Sweet gypsy highway
Won’t you let me chase my dream
Cause I got a song to take me there
And it’s something to see, something to see

Lord I was born with a suitcase in my hand
Living in a life that few could understand
Sometimes it gets so confusing that I don’t know where I am
But I always know who I’m with
I’m with the band

Cheap whiskey midnight
Another round with my friends
Watching the world through the windshield
And we’re rolling again, rolling again

Lord I was born with a suitcase in my hand
Living in a life that few could understand
Sometimes it gets so confusing that I don’t know where I am
But I always know who I’m with
I’m with the band

Oh Lord I was born with a suitcase in my hand
Living in a life that few could understand
Sometimes it gets so confusing that I don’t know where I am
But I always know who I’m with
I’m with the band

Last night in Memphis
Tonight in New Orleans
Tomorrow I’ll be miles from here
Ain’t nothing to me, nothing me

Holding you is revalation
Baby i have seen the other side
And theres nothing but lonely
So i left for doing only what it takes
To bridge the great divide

[Chorus]
I would ride across the masa
To the Arizona plain
And sail beyond the shores of sisco beach
Id go down the mississippi
To the land of hurricanes
Or ill climb
Th hills of Tennessee
If thats where you are
Thats where ill be

Loving you is sweet salvation
Baby theres no measure to your words
Now its your love that makes me
So ill follow where it takes me
Even to the edge of the earth

[Chorus]

Without you im only drifting
Through a life that im not living
Without you im a heart without a home

[Chorus]

If thats where you are
Thats where ill be

Ooooooo ooooooooo oooooooo ooooooo ect.

He won’t lay a finger on you
He won’t wreck your pretty face
But he’ll tell you that you’re worthless
Just to put you in your place
Well, you don’t have to be kicked to be bruised, no
And you don’t have to be hit to be abused

Evangeline, you’re a hard one
Your denial is bolstered by your dreams
Thinking love is gonna save you
But it ain’t love if it’s mean
Evangeline

And the smile that you’re wearing
Is just a lovely veil
For the secrets that you’re hiding
That are just too dark to tell
Well, you don’t have to be cut to be scarred, no
And you don’t have to be struck to leave a mark

Evangeline, you’re a hard one
Your denial is bolstered by your dreams
Thinking love is gonna save you
But it ain’t love if it’s mean
Evangeline

Well, you don’t have to be kicked to be bruised, no
And you don’t have to be hit to be abused

Evangeline, you’re a hard one
Your denial is bolstered by your dreams
Thinking love is gonna save you
But it ain’t love if it’s mean
Evangeline

Sitting by the bed side
Held his hand and kissed his face
Then he closed his eyes and I watched him slip away
Seems like only yesterday
He was young as I am now
But soon “now” will be the past
Yeah, time is turning fast
I want to live, I want to love
Like one more day is
Never too much and never enough
I want to drink in every minute that I can
‘Cause life is a vapor
Fire and paper
Gonna make the most of it
Before it’s gone
When I lay my head down at the end of another day
Did I keep it all to myself
Or did I give my love away?
Did I hold who should’ve been held
So they remember just how that felt?
Did I say what should be said?
Will I wake with no regret?
I want to live, I want to love
Like one more day is
Never too much and never enough
I want to drink in every minute that I can
‘Cause life is a vapor
Fire and paper
Gonna make the most of it
Before it’s gone
There was a man who walked the land centuries ago
He brought water to the thirsty heart
And food to the hungry soul
He was here only 33 years
But His life changed the world
And He gave up all he had
I want to leave a legacy like that

Baby, it's alright
Somehow we're gonna get to the bottom of this
If it takes us all night
We'll work it till we find that something that fits
Come on, let me kiss and make it better
And better ain't the best I can do

I'll take your wrong and make it right
I'll take your load and make it light
Dry your eyes and you can bet
Any hurt that you remember gonna help you forget
Make you numb to the pain
Hey, I'll be your Novocaine

We'll have us a good time
Baby, let me pull you out of the shade
Meet me in the sunshine
Do you wanna come out and play?
Baby, there's been a lot of talkin'
But talkin' ain't all I wanna do

I'll take your wrong and make it right
I'll take your load and make it light
Dry your eyes and you can bet
Any hurt that you remember gonna help you forget
Make you numb to the pain
Hey, I'll be your Novocaine

Come on let me kiss and make it better
And better ain't the best I can do

Baby, try to understand
See, I never had any trouble fallin'
I'm just

You’re like everybody else
Gotta deal with what you’re dealt
You’ll choose the story that you tell
Blame the world or blame yourself
Sometimes life comes at you hard
And it’s easy to let it drag you down
Yeah, I get it, it’s a mess
It’s a struggle, it’s a test
But can you find a place to rest
In a house of bitterness?
Just ‘cause it ain’t what you planned
Don’t mean it ain’t what it oughta be
‘Cause it’s only what you make of it
Yeah, it’s only what you make of it
Yeah, it’s only what you make of it
And you make it so hard on yourself
What you do and what you won’t
What you will and what you don’t
What you take and you give up
What you’re risking when you love
Bet you where you’re looking from
if you walk or if you run
You take the long way there
‘Cause it’s only what you make of it
Yeah, it’s only what you make of it
Yeah, it’s only what you make of it
And you make it so hard on yourself
You go looking for the darker side of anything
You know you’re gonna find it •
You can hold on to it till it takes you under
Or you can let it go
No it ain’t all your fault
No it isn’t right
It ain’t always fair
But it’s only what you make of it
Yeah, it’s only what you make of it
Yeah, it’s only what you make of it
And you make it so hard on yourself

I dip my toe in the water
Before I know it I’m in over my head
I try to warm myself by the fire
But I end upgetting burned instead
I’ve sold my soul for a little bit of heaven
I’ve put my heart into the wrong hands •
I’ve gone places where I swore that I’d never go again
See, I never had any trouble fallin’
I’m just trying to find a place to land
I draw me a line, then I cross it
I speed up when I should slow down
Well dang if I don’t step in it
When I probably should go around
Always thinking that it’s gonna be forever
Always thinking it’s a good plan
All I know is that I’m giving everything I can
See, I never had any trouble fallin’
But I’m still trying to find a place to land
I told myself that I’ve had it
I told myself that I’m through
Said I’m leavin’ love to the fool-hearted
But that was ‘fore I found you
I’m on the edge, baby I’m lookin’ over
Oh my lord, here I go again
If I seem a little bit afraid
Baby, try to understand
See, I never had any trouble fallin’
I’m just trying to find a place to land
I’ve just gotta find a place to land
I’m still trying to find a place to land

She was counting out her tips and staring at the clock
When that jet black Pontiac slid into the parking lot
He walked in with a greasy grin
Said, "I'm needing something sweet"
She said, "Man, that Trans Am's the sweetest thing I've seen"
He said, "Honey let me take you for a ride"
She said, "Only if you let me drive"

Firebird fly, burn up the sky
Wanna hear that engine crying
Stomp on the gas, gotta go fast
Screaming into the night and
Leaving it all behind
Firebird fly

Stopped outside Phoenix for smokes and gasoline
He said, "Keep that motor running and wait right here for me"
She turned her head, smiled and said
"I've been waiting all my life"
Then she popped the clutch and in a cloud of dust
She left him high and dry
For the first time she could finally spread her wings
Down the highway you could hear her sing

Firebird fly, burn up the sky
Wanna hear that engine crying
Stomp on the gas gotta go fast
Screaming into the night and
Leaving it all behind
Firebird fly

Walk with me in the moonlight, babe
Lose ourselves in the star parade
And I will sing a midnight serenade for you
Dance with me in a field of green
Be so close I can hear you breathe
Be the end and the in between

‘Cause to know you is to know love
And to know love is to know enough
To walk with you through this life
From now until the day I die
‘Cause what better way is there to live than to with you

So put your sun in my silver sky
Put your rain in my river dry
Put your words to my lullaby
And I’ll dream

‘Cause to know you is to know love
And to know love is to know enough
To walk with you through this life
From now until the day I die
‘Cause what better way is there to live than to with you

It’s been a long time since I prayed
Let the words fall where they may
Forgive me now
for what I’m about to say
Tired of being on my knees
Sick of begging you please
Since the day you took him away from me
God, how much more do I have to hurt?
How far down do you wanna see me go, tell me
God, you don’t know the sadness of this place
You’ve got the angels and the saints
So give me back my love
Don’t you think I’m lonely enough?
You’ve got the power in your hands
To change the master plan
Every star and every grain of sand
You can bring him back today
Just roll thestone away
Before there’s nothing left of me to save
God, how much more do I have to hurt?
How far down do you wanna see me go, tell me
God, you don’t know the sadness of this place
You’ve got the angels and the saints
So give me back my love Don’t you think I’m lonely enough?
(Repeat Chorus)

She caught him sleeping in a liar's bed
Sneaking around just like a copperhead
Mr. Hot Shot well, who's hot now?
Love turned a corner and she turned the page
Fueled by the fire of a lover's rage
Now she's more than just leaving

Love never hurt so bad
She's bruised and betrayed
She's bitter and she's mad
She's on a mission
Better watch your back
‘Cause Hell has no fury like that

She still remembers, there was a time
She thought that he could turn her water to wine
Now that's long gone
He's fallen from grace
She don't need to hear the other side
His lame excuses can't be justified
And “sorry” won't cut it now

Love never hurt so bad
She's bruised and betrayed
She's bitter and she's mad
She's on a mission
Better watch your back
‘Cause Hell has no fury like that
