LOVE AIN’T PRETTY

A Little Right Now

Lyrics

I’m a farmer praying for rain
I’m a gambler who needs an ace of spades
I’m a sailor hoping for a gust of wind
I’m a singer looking for that song
I’m a prisoner that ain’t got long
I’m a dreamer waiting for my ship to come in

But lately all my roads have been running out
And there ain’t no silver linings in these clouds
Help me Lord and show me how
To find the kind of faith that I once found
‘Cause I could sure use a little right now

I’m a beggar who could use some help
I’m a seeker searchin’ for myself
I’m a Rolling Stone just waitin’ on a friend
I’m a lover wishing on a star
For another with a broken heart
To hold each other close until the end

But lately all my roads have been running out
And there ain’t no silver linings in these clouds
Help me Lord and show me how
To find the kind of faith that I once found
‘Cause I could sure use a little right now
Just a little right now

‘Cause lately all my roads have been running out
And there ain’t no silver linings in these clouds
Help me Lord and show me how
To find the kind of faith that I once found
‘Cause I could sure use a little right now
Just a little right now
Love Ain't Pretty

Lyrics

It’ll burn you like a fire
You can lose it like a bet
If anything can hurt you more
Well, I ain’t seen it yet
Shows up when you don’t need it
Then leaves you when you do
It’ll tear your dreams to pieces
And then make ‘em all come true
Love ain’t pretty
Love ain’t pretty
Love ain’t pretty at all
Love ain’t pretty
No, love ain’t pretty
But damn, it’s beautiful
It’ll lift you like an angel
Throw you down just like a curse
It’ll meet you like a morning
And leave you like a hearse
And when you think that it’s all over
No, you won’t feel that again
It’ll set your soul on fire
Alleluia and Amen
Love ain’t pretty
Love ain’t pretty
Love ain’t pretty at all
Love ain’t pretty
No, love ain’t pretty
But damn, it’s beautiful
It’s a thousand tears and a diamond ring
Fifty years and a front-porch string
Two hearts that have been through everything
And they’d do it all again
Love ain’t pretty
Love ain’t pretty
Love ain’t pretty at all
Love ain’t pretty
Love ain’t pretty
But damn, it’s beautiful
Love ain’t pretty
Love ain’t pretty
Love ain’t pretty at all
No, love ain’t pretty
No, love ain’t pretty
But damn, it’s beautiful
But damn, damn
It’s beautiful
One Good Move

Lyrics

How did I get here?
It’s all too good
This story isn’t ending like I thought it would
Sun through the window
You’re all I see
I’m half a million miles from where I used to be
Yeah, you remember me

If there was trouble to get into
I was getting into it
If there was something that I shouldn’t do
You know I would do it
I was young, I was dumb
I was always on the run
Messed it up all but once
‘Cause when I look at you
I see my one good move
Yeah, you’re my one good move

I look behind me
All I see is a fool
Oh but I gotta give him credit
He walked away with you
I guess I knew a thing or two

If there was trouble to get into
I was getting into it
If there was something that I shouldn’t do
You know I would do it
I was young, I was dumb
I was always on the run
Messed it up all but once
‘Cause when I look at you
I see my one good move
Yeah, you’re my one good move

I lean in for a kiss
Yeah, it started out like this
I got down on one knee
‘Cause you’re all I’ll ever need
Girl you’re always gonna be
My one good move
Yeah you’re my one good move

If there was trouble to get into
I was getting into it
If there was something that I shouldn’t do
You know I would do it
I was young, I was dumb
I was always on the run
Messed it up all but once
‘Cause when I look at you
I see my one good move
Yeah, you’re my one good move
In A Bar Somewhere

Lyrics

In a bar somewhere
The where we met story of you and me
Had all the makings of a meant to be
Hanging like smoke in the air
In the neon light
Looking like a couple from a movie scene
Or maybe just a memory from a miss-you dream
We were burning bright that night.

In a bar somewhere
We’re still drinking and laughing,
Not thinkin’ bout what’s gonna happen
We’re still dancing right there
In a bar somewhere
Your head still on my shoulder
We’re still us, it ain’t over
No, it ain’t over
We’re still, we’re still

In a bar somewhere
One of those dives from our old beach town
That didn’t survive
No, it’s all closed down
But, I close my eyes and see
You and me

In a bar somewhere
We’re still drinking and laughing,
Not thinkin’ bout what’s gonna happen
We’re still dancing right there
In a bar somewhere
Your head still on my shoulder
We’re still us, it ain’t over
No, it ain’t over
We’re still, we’re still
In a bar somewhere
In a bar somewhere

God knows I’ve tried,
But I can’t put it behind me
Something will always remind me
So, if you want me
You can find me
In a bar somewhere

In a bar somewhere
We’re still drinking and laughing,
Not thinkin’ bout what’s gonna happen
We’re still dancing right there, you still care
In a bar somewhere
Your head still on my shoulder
We’re still us, it ain’t over
No, it ain’t over
We’re still, we’re still
In a bar somewhere
In a bar somewhere

In a bar somewhere
In a bar somewhere
In a bar somewhere
I Ain't

Lyrics

I know what you want from me
I know what I’m s’pposed to be
I know what you’re lookin’ for
But your knocking on the wrong door

Cause I ain’t, I ain’t
Your Cowboy Savior
Your dashboard saint
You try to fix me up with a little coat of paint
But walking your line feels like walking the plank
And I’ve tried
But I can’t
‘Cause I ain’t

I ain’t tryna make you cry
But, I just ain’t the kind to lie
And I ain’t tryin’ to run from you
But if you’re thinking I’m the one for you

Cause I ain’t, I ain’t
Your Cowboy Savior
Your dashboard saint
You try to fix me up with a little coat of paint
But walking your line feels like walking the plank
And I’ve tried
Girl I can’t
I ain’t

I know what you want from me
I know what I’m s’pposed to be

Well I ain’t, I ain’t
Your Cowboy Savior
Your dashboard saint
You try to fix me up with a little coat of paint
I ain’t walking your line, I ain’t walking your plank

I ain’t, I ain’t
Your Cowboy Savior
Your dashboard saint
You try to fix me up with a little coat of paint
But walking your line feels like walking the plank
And I’ve tried
But I can’t
And I’ve tried and tried and tried
But I can’t, I can’t, I can’t
So I ain’t
Another Song About You

Lyrics

Swore I wouldn’t do this but here we are
A pad, a pen, some whiskey, an old guitar
Dancing with a memory that’s haunting me
Painting with my pain in a melody

Well I don’t wanna write a sad song
About a lover who done me wrong
I don’t wanna another low and lonesome one to remind me
Of that pain I can’t put behind me
But here I go singing a song so blue
Another song about you
Another song about you

Used to be all of them feel good tunes
Would fall outta me whenever I’d be with you
But that went away the day that you had to go
And hey they all say, write what you know

Well I don’t wanna write a sad song
About a lover who done me wrong
I don’t wanna another low and lonesome one to remind me
Of that pain I can’t put behind me
But here I go singing a song so blue
Another song about you
Another song about you

I should write a big on-your-feet, song of the summer
Not-too-deep on up to number one
Not me, that’s something I won’t do
Oh, I guess I’m gonna write a sad song
About a lover who done me wrong
I’m gonna write another low and lonesome one to remind me
Of the pain I can’t put behind me
Here I go doing that thing I do
Another song about you
Another song about you

Another song, another song
Another song, another song
Another song, another song
Another song about you
When Love Ain't Love

Lyrics

It’s hard to know just how it happens
You start out fine, you’re both laughing
Somehow somewhere something changes
You find you’re sitting there like strangers

I’ve been the stayer
I’ve been the leaver
The guilty betrayer
The broken believer
I’ve walked out and I’ve walked the floor
Been on both sides of that door,
When love ain’t love no more

Somebody’s sorry, somebody’s crying,
Somebody found out somebody’s lying
Somebody says please, somebody says no
Somebody hangs on, somebody lets go

I’ve been the stayer
I’ve been the leaver
The guilty betrayer
The broken believer
I’ve walked out and I’ve walked the floor
Been on both sides of that door,
When love ain’t love no more
When love ain’t love no more

When love ain’t love no more
(When it ain’t like before, but there ain’t no because)
Love ain’t love no more
(It just is what it is, when it ain’t what it was)
Love ain’t love no more
(When it ain’t like before, but there ain’t no because)
Love ain’t love no more
(It just is what it is, when it ain’t what it was)
Candlelight

Lyrics

Something happens when she’s near
All the darkness disappears
And suddenly I’m someone else
More than just a shadow of myself

She shines
And she glows
And she dances in the night
When the cold wind blows
And she lights up a room
She could burn this town down if she wanted to
She’s soft and warm and beautiful and bright
She’s my candlelight

No one else can hold a flame
She puts a chandelier to shame.
Seems like everywhere she goes
Everything just turns gold
She’ll make you laugh
She’ll make you smile
And me, I get to hold her while

She shines
And she glows
And she dances in the night
When the cold wind blows
And she lights up a room
She could burn this town down if she wanted to
She’s soft and warm and beautiful and bright
She’s my candlelight

And she shines
And she glows
And she dances in the night
When the cold wind blows
And she lights up a room
She could burn this town down if she wanted to
She’s soft and warm and beautiful and bright
And so I lift her up and hold her high
She’s my candlelight

Shine, shine, shine
My candlelight
Shine, shine, shine
My candlelight
Shine, shine, shine
My candlelight
Shine, shine, shine
Sweet candlelight
Back In My Life

Lyrics

I’m driving along the coastline tonight
Oil rigs looking like Christmas lights
Hand out the window like a wing in the wind
You’re back in my life again

Well, I’m drinking champagne, cigar smoking
Singing Sinatra at the local karaoke
Emptied my wallet to a homeless man
You’re back in my life again

Yeah well you been gone a while
You took my smile
I turned around and then
You’re back in my life again

I don’t cry all night, don’t pace the floor
Don’t hang around them bars no more
Stopped talking you down to all my friends
You’re back in my life again

Yeah well you been gone a while
You took my smile
I turned around and then
You’re back in my life again

Back in my life again
Back in my life
Back in my life again

So we’ll tell our kids ‘bout the day we met
And we’ll laugh at the jokes that only we get
This life is so much better when
Your back in my life again

Yeah well you been gone a while
You took your smile
I turned around and then
You’re back in my life again
Back in my life again
Back in my life

Back in business
Back in style
Back in tune
Yeah it looks like I’ll be
Back in action
Back on track
Goodbye baby blue
We’re back in black
Make You Happy

Lyrics

Don’t wanna make a million
Don’t wanna make a scene
Don’t wanna make no headlines
Or the cover of a magazine
Don’t wanna make no trouble
Don’t wanna make no fuss
Don’t wanna make a big damn deal of the way I feel about you
Girl I just

Wanna make you happy
Wanna make you smile
I wanna make you weak in the knees for a little while
I wanna make you miss me
Every minute I’m gone
Girl, there’s only one thing that I want
I wanna make you happy
Wanna make you happy

All you do
Is walk in the room
You make my heartbeat fast
Yeah you make it go boom boom boom
You make my days
And every one of my nights
Yeah you make me feel alive
Oh that’s why baby I

Wanna make you happy
Wanna make you smile
I wanna make you weak in the knees for a little while
I wanna make you miss me
Every minute I’m gone
Girl, there’s only one thing that I want
I wanna make you happy
Wanna make you happy

I wanna make you happy
Wanna make you smile
Wanna make you weak in the knees for a little
Make you weak in the knees
I wanna make you miss me
Every minute I’m gone
Girl, there’s only one thing
Baby I wanna make you happy
I wanna make you happy
I wanna make you happy
I just wanna make you happy
Happy
Willing To Try

Lyrics

I flew in Saturday morning
Ain’t left this beach chair since then
I’ve been this happy before but I can’t recall when
I was as blue as this ocean
I’m feeling better today
I gotta another margarita and I’m sip sip sippin’ away
I don’t know if I can sit and drink tequila for the rest of my life
But I’m willing to try

I’m watching pelican’s flying
I’m seeing pretty girls swim
I got a shrimp quesadilla and I’m ready to dive right in
I hear a radio playing
Man, Bob Marley was right
‘Cause every little thing is gonna be alright
I don’t know if I can stay this happy or stay this high
But I’m willing to try

I’ll give it all that I got
Give it shot after shot
It’s heaven but I’ll go through it
It’s a battle, I guess
But my bartender says
It’s a breeze if you put your lime to it

Might throw my phone in the ocean
Might throw my ticket away
Might throw a line out at that girl that’s been looking my way
I don’t know if I can fall in love in just one night
But I’m willing to try
I’m willing to try
I’m that kind of guy
Willing to try
Maybe I'm Alright

Lyrics

Maybe I'm alright
Maybe just a little crazy suits me fine
It just occurred to me
Yeah, it switched on like a light
Maybe I'm alright

I've been wasting time
And I've been wasting tears
Letting this old worried mind
Whisper trouble in my ear

Maybe I'm alright
Maybe just a little crazy suits me fine
It just occurred to me
Yeah, it switched on like a light
Maybe I'm alright

We all have our burdens
That we love to carry around (carry around)
But there's one thing for certain
Our hearts will all keep hurting
Til we learn to lay them down

Maybe I'm alright
Maybe just a little crazy suits me fine
It just occurred to me
Yeah, it switched on like a light
Maybe I'm alright
I’m alright

Maybe I'm alright
Maybe just a little crazy suits me fine
It just came to me like an angel in the night
Maybe I'm alright
Maybe I don't need the victory
Maybe I just like the fight
Maybe I'm alright
Maybe you’re alright
We just might be alright
Maybe I’m alright
Down The Road

Lyrics

Hey hey
Hey hey

I know you wanna turn back
I can see it in your eyes
Doubt creeps in and a good dream dies

You wanna throw your hands up
And you wanna walk away
Hey some days you’re gonna feel that way

Don’t give up baby don’t let go
You got a hand too good to fold
The story ain’t over it’s yet to be told
Hold on cause you don’t know
What’s waiting for you down the road
What’s waiting for you down the road

It’s hard to hold your head up
When your hope’s all gone
Just hold tight, we’re all alright
It’s just the dark right before the dawn

Don’t give up baby don’t let go
You got a hand too good to fold
The story ain’t over it’s yet to be told
Hold on cause you don’t know
What’s waiting for you down the road
What’s waiting for you down the road

Hey hey
Hey hey

When the stars won’t align
And the river won’t flow
When the sun don’t shine
And the rock don’t roll
You gotta stand your ground, shake your fist
Show the whole world you were born for this
Hey

Don’t give up baby don’t let go
You got a hand too good to fold
The story ain’t over it’s yet to be told
Hold on cause you don’t know

Don’t give up baby don’t let go
You got a hand too good to fold
The story ain’t over it’s yet to be told
Stop now and you’ll never know
What’s waiting for you down the road
What’s waiting for you down the road

Hey hey
Hey hey
Somewhere In The Sunshine

Lyrics

You should see this place
It’s beautiful
It’s every place we ever tried to find
It’s got a mountain view
You can see the ocean too
I guess that’s why they call it paradise
So, don’t you cry for me, ‘cause I’m just fine

I’m somewhere in the sunshine
Soaking up a blue sky
While that river rolls by
Smiling on the bank
No more pain, finally free
I’m right where I’m meant to be
No I ain’t there beneath that Georgia pine
I’m somewhere in the sunshine

I know it’s been hard on you
And He knows it, too
‘Cause He hears every word you ever pray
And every tear runnin’ down
And every single doubt
When you get here He wipes them all away
And I’ll be waiting on you ’til that day

Somewhere in the sunshine
Soaking up a blue sky
While that river rolls by
Smiling on the bank
No more pain, finally free
I’m right where I’m meant to be
No I ain’t there beneath that Georgia pine
I’m somewhere in the sunshine
I’m somewhere in the sunshine

So don’t worry, be happy
I’m finally home
I’m waiting, I’m with you
You’re never alone
And days when you miss me
And the lonely just aches
Close your eyes (close your eyes)
Lift your head
Feel the sun on your face

Somewhere in the sunshine
Somewhere in the sunshine
Yeah I’m somewhere in the sunshine
Somewhere in the sunshine
Somewhere in the sunshine
Soaking up a blue sky
While that river rolls by
Smiling on the bank
