Taylor Hicks Album

The suns shinin and its rainin
no better way to describe my feel
when you left my heart was complainin
how a couple o days can act like years
I know livin with me aint easy
when I tell you how I feel
a simple phrase hard to put it into words
Let it Grow,
Let it Show,
Let it Flow,
I'm here to show you, baby this love is real
wherever you go, my hearts bound to follow
wherever you go, then i'll be there
this bein gone's been a tough pill to swallow
I hope you can feel me in the air
now I dont mind a whole lotta waitin love
if this is truly how you feel
im tired of scratchin those reservations
if I just might, tonite, then all right,
if its real, then go home baby,
and lets make that deal
mmm, make that deal
i've given you the best ive got to offer
cuz there aint no more in here to see
this preminition I have is awful
thanks to the moonbeam's generosity
now I dont mind a whole lotta waitin love
if this is truly how you feel
im tired of scratchin those reservations
if I just might, tonite, then all right
if it's real, then go on baby
if I just might, tonite
then all right
if it's real, then go on baby
lets make that deal
mmmhmmm, lets make that deal

I've been doin' lots of time
Workin' on Love's assembly line
And now it's kinda hard to make my way
Love has made for a hell of a day

Hell of a day is what love has made
They never said love was an easy trade
Say, if you don't mind, I'll be on my way
Well, Love has made for a hell of a day

So you can get on with your life, baby
And I can get on with mine
There ain't no time for heartbreak or sorrow
You can't be too concerned over spilled wine

Hell of a day is what love has made
They never said love was an easy trade
And now it's kinda hard to make my way
Love has made for a hell of a day

(4 measures instrumental)

I've been workin' with the heart's metallurgy
And the nights have become cold
In this world, a lonesome feelin'
You can't turn silver into gold

Hell of a day, yeah, is what love has made
They never said love was an easy trade
And now it's kinda hard to make my way
Love has made for a hell of a day

Hell of a day is what love has made
They never said love was an easy trade
Say, if you don't mind, I'll be on my way
Well, Love has made for a hell of a day

If you need her, you'll show it
If she loves you, then you'll know it
If it happens, don't fight it
If you broke it, don't hide it

If she wants you, then love her
If she needs you, then you'll show her
If it happens, don't fight it
If it's true love, don't hide it

You know what they say,
"Mmm, well, love will settle the score,
All's fair in love and war."

Hold on to your love,
Hold on to your love.

If you want her, you'll know it
If it's real love, you'll show it
If it looks good, then try it
If it's too much, don't buy it

If you need her, you'll show it
If she loves you, then you'll know it
If it happens, don't fight it
If she wants it, mmm, you'll buy it

You know what they say,
"Well, love will settle the score,
All's fair in love and war."

Hold on to your love,
Hold on to your love.

If you need her, you show it
If she loves you, then you'll know it
If it happens, don't fight it
If it's true love, don't hide it

If she wants you, then love her
If she needs you, then you'll show her
If it happens, oh, don't fight it
If it's true love, don't hide it

You know what they say,
"Yeah, well, love will settle the score."
You know what they say,
You know what they say.

You know what they say,
"Yeah, well, love will settle the score,
All's fair in love and war."

Hold on to your love
Hold on to your love, people
Hold on to your love

Sometimes we get weary
And find ourselves alone
In a world full of darkness
For those who have no home

This time, now, love's taking its toll
So far, I'm living off of heart and soul
Heart and Soul

I know love is around the corner
And heartache's around the bend
When will this lasting darkness
Ever come to an end?

This time, now, love's taking its toll
So far, I'm living off of heart and soul
Heart and Soul

They say love is an empty pocket
Where fools love to dwell
I can see by the looks of it
It goes to show that you never can tell

This time, now, love's taking its toll
So far, I'm living off of heart and soul
Heart and Soul
Oh, honey,
Heart and Soul

So you're drivin' away these miles
So far away from your southern home
Takin' your charms and dreams to the Golden State
Make your way, seal your fate

That's when you're gone away
Where no one will hear you cry
When you're late
For that west Texas sky

When you left home, I didn't think twice
Oh, I knew, you had to roam
I knew that life was getting you down
You always feel alone when there's no one around

But who gets cut when the knife is dull?
And who gets lost when the map is full
Nobody wins and nobody loses
Just a handful of sorrows
And too many excuses

You wanted to walk beside the ocean
Oh, and stand beside the sea
And now you can't wait until tomorrow
There's so much to do
And so much to see

(guitar instrumental)

So you're drivin' away these miles
So far away from your southern home
Takin' your charms and dreams to the Golden State
Make your way, seal your fate

That's when you're gone away
Where no one will hear you cry
When you're late
For that west Texas sky

When you're late
For that west Texas sky (2x)

Mmmhmm

When you're late
For that west Texas sky
For that west Texas sky

I've been traveling all these years,
just barely getting by.
The road can be your friend
or the devil in disguise.

When the tough get going,
the muses visit me.
Yet in soft, low tones,
they always say to me,
say to me,

"It ain't no groove thing,
It ain't no country twang,
It's a simple refrain;
It's a soul thang." (2x)

Where the city street meets the county road,
where the sun is nice and warm,
no matter how long I may roam,
this song still takes us home,
Takes us home.

Now we'll tell you about these times,
when the blues come out to play,
and jazz leaves her number...
it's funny, she always says:

"It ain't no groove thing,
It ain't no country twang,
It's a simple refrain;
It's a soul thang." (2x)

Now I'll tell you about these times,
when the blues come out to play,
and jazz leaves her number...
It's funny, she always says:

"Well, the city lights fly by me,
as their eyes are getting heavy.
We're sending our love over telephone wire.
These days getting lonelier by the mile...by the mile."

It ain't no groove thing,
It ain't no country twang,
It's a simple refrain;
It's a soul thang. (2x)

It ain't no groove thing,
Yeah, ain't no country twang,
It's a simple refrain;
It's a soul thang. (2x)
