Sara Evans Album

(Sara Evans/Phil Barnhart/James House)

Fire up the motor baby, I'm already packed
I'll ride shotgun, navigate, throw the cooler in the back
Let's try and get us lost
Anywhere you want to go
Come on show me the other side of the great unknown

Well I've never rocked the Rockies
Never sinned in Santa Fe
I want to stand on a corner in Winslow, Arizona someday
And just take it easy
Drive me down a desert road 

Come on show me the other side of the great unknown

Cause I'm tired of being careful
I'm sick of staying home
I just want to see a little of the great unknown
Take a right, take a left, I don't really care

It doesn't matter where we end up
Baby I can love you anywhere
I will be a waitress, you could work on cars
Find ourselves a koa and sleep underneath the stars
Just living and a loving

Cause I'm tired of being careful
I'm sick of staying home
I just want to see a little of the great unknown
Take a right, take a left, I don't really care

Baby don't say no
Come on and show me the other side of the great unknown
Show me the other side of the great unknown

(Jamie O'Hara)

Do me right don't do me wrong
Treat me nice or I'll be gone
I know where to find the door
Ain't gonna play the crying game no more
Ain't gonna play the crying game no more

Tell me truth don't tell me lies
Don't wanna hear no alibis
I've been down that road before
Ain't gonna play the crying game no more
Ain't gonna play the crying game no more

Give me love I can believe in
Give me love I'm able to trust in
Show me you are ready and willing
To stand by me like I stand by you

Bring me joy don't bring me pain
I've seen enough of the pouring rain
Show me love's what your living for 
Ain't gonna play the crying game no more
Ain't gonna play the crying game no more

Give me love I can believe in
Give me love I'm able to trust in
Show me you are ready and willing
To stand by me like I stand by you

Do me right don't do me wrong
Treat me nice or I'll be gone
I know where to find that door
Ain't gonna play the crying game no more
Ain't gonna play the crying game no more
Ain't gonna play the crying game no more

(duet with Vince Gill)
(Sara Evans/Tom Shapiro/Tony Martin)

I can't imagine, any greater fear
Then waking up, without you here,
And though the sun, will still shine on,
My whole world, would all be gone,
But not for long,

If I had to run, if I had to crawl
If I had to swim a hundred rivers, just to climb a thousand walls,
Always know that I will find a way, to get to where you are,
There's no place that far

It wouldn't matter why we're apart,
Lonely minds or two stubborn hearts
Nothing short of God above
Could turn me away from your love
I need you that much

If I had to run, if I had to crawl
If I had to swim a hundred rivers, just to climb a thousand walls,
Always know that I will find a way, to get to where you are,
There's no place that far

If I had to run, if I had to crawl
If I had to swim a hundred rivers, just to climb a thousand walls,
Always know that I will find a way, to get to where you are,
There's no place that far

Baby there's no place that far

(Mary Green/Rick Orozco)

I never wanted to, but I said goodbye to you
It happens, people change
Sometimes their dreams go separate ways
They say all good things must end
Still someday I thought I'd see your face again

I understand, I realize
It was the end of all those nights
(With) you here in my arms, just the pounding of two hearts
Now that's all gone with the wind
Still someday I thought I'd see your face again

(Oh) I've gotta phone, but no way to get a hold of you
I've got a letter, no address that I can send it to

Tonight I'll look out to the stars
Can't help but wonder where you are
So much space and time between all those used to be's
I know life goes on, but then
Still someday I thought I'd see your face again
I know life goes on, but then
Still someday I thought I'd see your face again

(Sara Evans/ Matraca Berg)

Use to think that I would be so sad. 
If you ever walked away. 
Use to think I needed you so bad. 
Did I say that I'd never leave you behind? 
Well, just keep treating me unkind 'cause fool I'm a woman and I'm bound to
change my mind.

With a woman it's imperative you show her that you love her. 
If you don't it's her prerogative to change like the weather. 
I'm seeing the signs. 
You know I use to think love was blind. 
Well, fool I'm a woman and I'm bound to change my mind.

You use to tell me so many nights. 
You don't deserve me. 
Well, maybe you were right.

Yesterday you offered me the world. 
Did you think I'd take it? 
Now you treat me like some silly girl. 
Yeah, and that's where I'm drawing the line. 
You know I use to think you were so fine. 
Well, fool I'm a woman and bound to change my...
Well, fool I'm a woman and I'm about to change my...
Well, fool I'm a woman and I just changed my mind. 
And I'm about to change my mind.

(Beth Nielsen Chapman, Harlan Howard)

Can't believe that after all this time
You keep slipping back across my mind
Did we maybe leave the love behind afraid of what we felt
Other loves I've had have come and gone
I don't know why, they just don't last too long
There are questions that go on and go
That time won't tell

Time won't tell me how it might have been
And time won't make what's wrong alright 
It can only take me back again
Feeling all those memories in black and white

I watch his kiss good-bye that day
Here's where you turn around and walk away
Where were the words that would have made you stay
Time won't tell

No, time won't tell me how it might have been
And time won't make what's wrong alright 
It can only take me back again
Feeling all those memories in black and white

You never see the road you didn't take
You never feel the love you failed to make
But you never know might be the words to say
And time won't tell
Time won't tell

(Sam Hogin/Ron Harbin/Ed Hill)

She's a got a Rand McAlly map
And a tank full of gasoline
Yeah love's been headin south
And now she's heading out of New Orleans
She throws her last picture out the window near the Louisiana line
She's somewhere between dreaming and leaving old feelings behind
As the knot comes untied

Her heart is running scared
She's says a silent prayer
Lord I'm counting on you to help me get through this night
There's memories like mountains and each one gets hard to climb
As the knot comes untied

On one hand she wonders if what she is doing is wrong
Cause it sure is a long stretch of highway between goin and gone
She's been down this road a thousand times in her mind
But what's done is done
She won't turn around this time
As the knot comes untied

Her heart is running scared
She's says a silent prayer
Lord I'm counting on you to help me get through this night
There's memories like mountains and each one gets hard to climb
As the knot comes untied

She's got Rand McAlly map
And a tank full of gasoline

(Mary Sharon Rice/Bill Rice)

Love I haven't seen you in a long time
Since then I ain't been worth a dime
Hasn't been that long
But it feels like years
Last time it could have worked out better
But you know we belong together
Love don't be a stranger round here

You know your way around my heart
But I know you don't see well in the dark
So I leave a light on and you won't get scared
In the morning or even at midnight
You can come on in its all right
Love don't be a stranger
Don't worry bout the danger
Love don't be a stranger round here

Last time you went away
You made me cry, cry, cry
Said I didn't need you anyway
But I lied, lied, lied
Love don't be a stranger
Don't worry bout the danger
Love don't be a stranger round here

Love I'm a little bit smarter
And I'll try a little bit
This time I won't wind up in tears
Love now that we're talking
Maybe you'll come around more often
Love don't be a stranger
Don't worry about the danger
Don't be a stranger round

Last time you went away
You made me cry, cry, cry
Said I didn't need you anyway
But I lied, lied, lied
Love don't be a stranger
Don't worry bout the danger
Love don't be a stranger round here

(Sara Evans/Billy Yates)

These days seem like years
When the nights are spent in tears
Tomorrow seems a lifetime away
These days, these days

Ever since you said good-bye
The hands on the clock just take their time
I wonder if they always will
Cause the minute that you left me
Time stood still

These days seem like years
When the nights are spent in tears
Tomorrow seems a lifetime away
These days, these days

The pillow where you used to dream
Is right where you left it
When you loved me
Will I touch your face again
I'll keep hoping but until then

These days seem like years
When the nights are spent in tears
Tomorrow seems a lifetime away
These days, these days

Oh tomorrow seems a lifetime away
These days, these days

(Keith Gattis/Kostas)

Tell Cupid not to point that thing at me
One more hole in my poor heart is just what I don't need
I've been teased by a fake
Burned by love
And left by destiny
So for my hearts sake tell Cupid wait
Don't point that thing at me

A boy and girl
That's where it starts
And then oh cupid, well he goes right for the heart
Yeah I've been hit a time or two
But what got me turned out to be just passing through

So tell Cupid not to point that thing
One more hole in my poor heart is just what I don't need
Well teased by a fake
Burned by a love
And left by destiny
So for my hearts sake tell Cupid wait
Don't point that thing at me

True love I saw and finally found
That I'm better off just doing without
Oh its a real cold shot, yeah its a deadly curse
That goes from a good love to bad love
And heartache at its worse

So tell Cupid not to point that thing
One more hole in my poor heart is just what I don't need
Well teased by a fake
Burned by a love
And left by destiny
So for my hearts sake tell Cupid wait

(Sara Evans/Leslie Satcher)

Ain't got no money 
No place to sleep 
No one has ever been down as me 
I'm just a stranger trouble at my feet
But through all my trials
It occurs to me

There's only one
There's only one
There's only one thing that matters
Its God's love

Now I could worry
About what's ahead
But I keep thinking
What Jesus said
There is a place
That I can go 
And there'll be a face
I'll surely know

Cause there's only one
There's only one
There's only one thing that matters
It's God's love

There's only one
There's only one
There's only one thing that matters
It's God's love

There's only one
There's only one
There's only one thing that matters
It's God's love
Yeah there's only one thing matters
It's God's love
