Trace Adkins Album

In the early rush of morning
Trying to get the kids to school
One's hanging on my shirttail
Another's locked up
In her room
And I'm yelling up the stairs
Stop worrying 'bout your hair
You look fine

Then they're fightin' in the backseat
I'm playing referee
Now someone's gotta go
The moment that we leave
And everybody's late
I swear that I can't wait
'Till they grow up

(Chorus)
Then they do
And that's how it is
It's just quiet in the morning
Can't believe
How much you miss
All they do
And all they did
You want all the dreams
They dreamed of
To come true
Then they do

Now the youngest is starting college
She'll be leavin' in the Fall
And Brianna's latest boyfriend
Called to ask if we could talk
And I got the impression
That he's about to pop the question any day

I look over at their pictures
Sittin' in their frames
I see them as babies
I guess that'll never change
You pray all their lives
That someday they will find happiness

(Chorus)
Then they do
And that's how it is
It's just quiet in the morning
Can't believe
How much you miss
All they do
And all they did
You want all the dreams
They dreamed of
To come true
Then they do

No more Monday PTA's
No carpools
Or soccer games
Your work is done
Now you've got time
That's all your own
You've been waitin' for so long
For those days to come

(Chorus)
Then they do
And that's how it is
It's just quiet in the morning
Can't believe
How much you miss
All they do
And all they did
You want all the dreams
They dreamed of
To come true
Then they do
Ohhh
Then they doooo

I been thinkin' 'bout our love situation
All this effection in the present tense
I've reached the only logical conclusion
Love ain't supposed to make sense

(Chorus)
This ain't no thinkin' thing
Right brain, left brain
It goes a little deeper than that
It's a chemical, physical, emotional devotion
Passion that we can't hold back
There's nothin' that we need to analyze
There ain't no rhyme or reason why
Cause this ain't, this ain't no thinkin' thing

Forget mathematical equations
Self help psychology
Gray matter don't matter much darlin'
When it's gettin' down to you and me

(Repeat Chorus)

There's nothing that we need to analyze
There ain't no rhyme or reason why
'Cause this ain't, this ain't no thinkin' thing
This ain't, no, this ain't no thinkin' thing

There's no guarantee that we'll see tomorrow
Heaven only knows how long we have
So there's no way I'll ever for one second let you wonder
Just how long my love for you will last

'Til my last breath, 'til I'm called on high
'Til the angels come and I see the light
To the very end, 'til I give in
To the last beat of my heart
No I can't swear that I'll be here for the rest of your life
But I swear I'll love you for the rest of mine

'Til my last breath, 'til I'm called on high
'Til the angels come and I see the light
To the very end, 'til I give in
To the last beat of my heart
No I can't swear that I'll be here for the rest of your life
But I swear I'll love you for the rest of mine

No I can't swear that I'll be here for the rest of your life
But I swear I'll love you for the rest of mine

Chrome,
she can see herself
in the shiny grill
and the wire wheels
of a red Chevelle
with four-on-the-floor
and the top down

Chrome,
zippin' by
on an ElectraGlide
with dual tailpipes
doin' 105 in the broad daylight
on a two lane road
headin outta town

CHORUS
For-get pink and pur-ple paislies
Little mel-low yel-low daisies
ain't no pot of gold in her rainbow
Her favorite color is chrome

yeah, chrome baby (said only once after first chorus)

Chrome
got her leg up high
on the bumper
of my big black Mack truck
with a smoke stack
pointed towards the sky
and mud flaps, you know the kind

Chrome
I said hey little girl,
you sure look nice
Do you wanna ride
I won't bite,
she climbs inside and says
Hell nah, I wanna drive

(CHORUS)

It's chrome alright
shiny, nice, polished
Chrome
chrome

(CHORUS)

that girl is all about chrome,
she sure loves chrome...
...aww, chrome

This gettin up early, pulling double shifts,
Gonna make an old man of me long before I ever get rich.
But I'm tryin
It's been two years since we've finalized,
I still ain't used to puttin ex in front of wife.
But I'm tryin.
Send more money right away, is pretty much all she has to say when she
Calls these days and don't you be late

But all I can do, is all I can do and I keep on tryin
And all I can be is all I can be and I keep on tryin
There's always a mountain in front of me,
Seems I'm always climbin and fallin and climbin
But I keep on tryin

I remember daddy sayin keep your eye on the ball, run like hell, play to win,
Get up when you fall
I'm tryin
Don't say nothin that you can't take back
Never do anything you might regret
No don't do that
Daddy I'm tryin
Know the difference between heaven and hell
Go easy on the bottle be hard on yourself
And I know he meant well

But all I can do, is all I can do and I keep on tryin
And all I can be is all I can be and I keep on tryin
There's always a mountain in front of me,
Seems I'm always climbin and fallin and climbin
But I keep on tryin

There's always a mountain in front of me
Seems I'm always climbin and stumblin
And then fallin'
And then climbin'
But I keep on tryin'

This gettin up early pullin double shifts
Gonna make an old man of me
Long before I ever get rich
But I'm tryin'

When I rode out of Dallas
Chasing down a dream
I thought I knew what I was looking for
But the neon nights have blinded me
'Til I'm lost in Tennessee
Not sure I know who I am anymore...but

There's a girl in Texas
There's a girl in Texas
There's a girl in Texas
That does

You're a truly lovely lady
And you sure light up the night
I'm a lonely man but I'm leaving here alone
I won't try to lie to you
About this heart of mine
That I can't give that I don't really own...'cause

There's a girl in Texas
There's a girl in Texas
There's a girl in Texas
That does

If this dream that I've been chasin'
Ever sets me free
And I wake up to find it don't need me

There's a girl in Texas
There's a girl in Texas
There's a girl in Texas
That does

Yes, there's a girl in Texas
There's a girl in Texas
There's a girl in Texas
That does
Yes, there's a girl in Texas that I still love

I told you I'd leave a light on,
In case you ever wanted to come back home,
You smiled and said you appreciate the gesture,
I took your every word to heart,
'Cause I can't stand us bein' apart,
And just to show how much I really miss ya,

(chorus)
Every light in the house is on,
The back yard's bright as the crack of dawn,
The front walk looks like runway lights,
It's kinda like noon in the dead of night,
Every light in the house is on,
Just in case you ever do get tired of being gone,
Every light in the house is on,

If I should ever start forgetin',
I'll turn the lights off one by one,
So you can see that I agree It's over,
But until then I want you to know,
If you look south you'll see a glow,
Thats me waitin' at home each night to hold ya,

(chorus)
Every light in the house is on,
The back yard's bright as the crack of dawn,
The front walk looks like runway lights,
It's kinda like noon in the dead of night,
Every light in the house is on,
Just in case you ever do get tired of being gone,
ooooh Every light in the house is on,
The back yard's bright as the crack of dawn,
The front walk looks like runway lights,
It's kinda like noon in the dead of night,
Every light in the house is on,
Just in case you ever do get tired of being gone,
Every light in the house is on.

That old photograph of us sure looks out of place
Layin' on your bag out in the hall
You're takin it to remind you of our better days
The ones you say you'll miss when you're gone

Chorus
Don't lie don't try to fool me
Cause girl, I know whats goin on
Don't lie you owe it to me
Believe me, leave well enough alone
So just go ahead and say goodbye
But don't lie

Well, I"ve seen all his letters in the closet
caught a drift of his cologne on you at night
so don't stand there and act so broken hearted
tell me how its killing you inside

CHORUS

But don't lie

Just come out and say it
Don't worry I can take it
Don't you think that I deserve the truth?

Chorus

Oh, Just don't lie....

Well boys I hate to leave good company,
But my baby just called me on the phone,
From the sound of her voice,
I simply have no choice,
I left somethin' turned on at home,

Well I just put a quarter in the jukebox,
And it ain't half way through my favorite song,
But if I don't leave right now,
My whole place might burn down,
'Cause I left somethin' turned on at home,

(chorus)
It ain't the stove,
It ain't the heater,
She's hotter and a whole lot sweeter,
And all day long,
She's been there alone,
Right now her arms are open,
The house is a probably smokin',
'Cause I left somethin' turned on at home,

Hey waitress could you cancel that order,
But if it's too late I'll take it to go,
Boys I gotta run,
Before somebody calls 911,
'Cause I left somethin' turned on at home,

(chorus)
It ain't the stove,
It ain't the heater,
She's hotter and a whole lot sweeter,
And all day long,
She's been there alone,
Right now her arms are open,
The house is a probably smokin',
'Cause I left somethin' turned on at home,
Right now her arms are open,
The house is a probably smokin',
'Cause I left somethin' turned on at home,
Yea I left somethin' turned on at home.

Get ready baby, we're going uptown
It's friday night, we're gonna get down
I thought you might like this brand new baby-blue dress
I figured out about a quarter 'til ten
We'll be partied out and headin' in
You and me alone darlin' doing what we do best

Big time, we're gonna have one
Big time, we're gonna grab some
Lovin' huggin' cuddlin' upin'
Rendezvous
'Cuz I'm in love with you
Big time

A little music, a sip of champagne
By candlelight, just doin' our thing
Let the crowd wonder what in the world happened to us
Well they can boogie woogie all night long
Let 'em dance 'til the cows come home
For what we want this old honky tonk ain't enough

Big time, we're gonna have one
Big time, we're gonna grab some
Lovin' huggin' cuddlin' upin'
Rendezvous
'Cuz I'm in love with you
Big time

Girl I'm talkin' about a....

Big time, we're gonna have one
Big time, we're gonna grab some
Lovin' huggin' cuddlin' upin'
Rendezvous
'Cuz I'm in love with you
Big time

Yeah I'm in love with you
Big time
Big time
Big time
I'm talkin' large

I can't see you
But I can feel
Like a scar that
Just won't heal
Blue-eyed gypsy
You're still with me
Everywhere I go
Lonely won't leave me alone
You're everywhere I go
Lonely won't leave me alone

Another highway
One more town
I tried to lose you
But you tracked me down
Like the moonlight on a dark night
You're down every winding road
Lonely won't leave me alone
Down every winding road
Lonely won't leave me alone

I know you told me our love's dead and gone
But here in my heart is lives on and on

You're every sad song
All night long
On my radio
Lonely won't leave me alone
Lonely won't leave me alone
Lonely won't leave me alone
I'm so lonely
Won't leave me alone
I'm so lonely

Once in a lifetime You'll open up your heart
Maybe once in your lifetime
You'll swear to never be apart
You think your love's on solid ground
Then out of the blue, it all comes tumblin' down

Chorus
Who's gonna hold me tonight
When I'm feeling (lonely)
Who's gonna show me the light
'Cause I need to know
With all the things we've got
How can love just stop
Tell Me
Somebody help me understand

And my picture in your locket
What will you do with it now
All our friends and all our memories
Tell me how we sort them out
What's yours is yours
What's mine is mine
Is that all that's left
After all this time

Repeat Chorus

Help me understand
Why I'm not part of your plan
And you don't need me anymore
Help me understand
Why I still wanna be where you are
Even though I know in my heart
That you don't love me anymore

Repeat Chorus

If anybody had told me that anybody'd have a hold on me
I'd say they were out of their mind
But speakin' of crazy, I'm findin' lately
All I want, all I need, all the time is

More of your sweet love
Too much just ain't enough
I never needed a fix like this before
Too strong to resist
I don't know when to quit
Like a kid in a candy store
You keep me comin' back for more

I can't explain it; I'm more than infatuated
You got me good, I got it bad
There's no doubt about it; I can't live without it
What you got I just gotta have
So gimme

More of your sweet love
Too much just ain't enough
I never needed a fix like this before
Too strong to resist
I don't know when to quit
Like a kid in a candy store
You keep me comin' back for more

Too strong to resist
I don't know when to quit
Like a kid in a candy store
You keep me comin' back for more
You keep me comin' back for more
You keep me comin' back for more more and more and more
You keep me comin' back for more
Gimme some more
I'm coming back for more

Come on in, son, have a seat
Don't mind the screams, Don't mind the heat
It's been like this 'round here for a long, long time.
We haven't had the chance to meet
But i've heard about you on TV
And i think we're gonna get along just fine.
i can't help but notice, you look somewhat surprised.
Did ya think son, after what you've done, The Lord would let you slide?

[Chorus]
Welcome to Hell, your new home
You did the crime now you'll do the time
Right where you belong
Welcome to Hell, end of the line
Your final sin, got you in
And now your soul is mine
Welcome to Hell

i hope for your sake you're the kind
That can stand to burnburn 'till the end of time
'Cause that's exactly what you're gonna do.
There's some lots left on the lake of fire
Where we send your kind to retire
And i picked out a nice little hot spot just for you.
I got one last thing to tell ya
And let me make this clear
I don't know what you've been told, But there ain't no virgins here

[Chorus]
Welcome to Hell, your new home
You did the crime now you'll do the time
Right where you belong
Welcome to Hell, end of the line
Your final sin, got you in
And now your soul is mine
Welcome to Hell

Welcome to Hell, boy

Welcome to Hell, end of the line
Your final sin, got you in
And now your ass is mine

Welcome to Hell
Welcome to Hell, boy
You're gonna love it
