Never Going Back lyrics - Collin Raye
She went to Paris feeling tragically hip
Wide open Visa with her daddy's consent
And a body that talks, so much love to be spent
He stole her heart on the Champs-Élysées
Left her empty Fendi on a silk pillowcase
A bad French mistake and she's never going back there again
This crazy world is rarely black and white
Sometimes right seems wrong but wrong feels right
Follow your heart but don't you get burned
You cross that line, you may never return, oh no
Weekend in Juarez with his tag along mate
Met two senoritas on a double blind date
A sweet tequila one night binge, too much to intake, yeah
One loaded suitcase got left in the van
Stopped at the border with some hot contraband
So long Uncle Sam 'cause you're never going back there again, oh no
This crazy world is rarely black and white
Sometimes right seems wrong but wrong feels right
Follow your heart but don't you get burned
You cross that line, you may never return
Facebook found my love on the line
World wide queen, man she was so fine
Got caught in a web, controlling my mind
Picture perfect with her Hollywood face
Was irreplaceable 'til I got replaced
Forget cyberspace, I'm never going back there again
I'm never going back, I'm never going back
I'm never going back there again
You can't make me go back, can't make me go back
I'm never going back there again
Never going back there again
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Never going back there again, no
Just let me get out, let me get out
Take Care Of You lyrics - Collin Raye
When it's just not your day
The whole world's on your case
tears rollin' down your face
It's more than you can take
I, I wanna take care of you
Wanna do it all yourself
Don't want anybody's help
I know your tough as nails
Remember, girl, when all else fails
I, I wanna take care of you
[Chorus]
Surrender, baby, I'm right here
Let go of all your doubts and fears
Turn 'em off, lay 'em down
All on me, right here, right now
All those voices in your head
Doesn't matter what they said
Just let me do what I was born to do
I wanna take care of you
When you for and chase your dreams
And give them your everything
Lookin' back it seems
Baby, you can count on me
I wanna take care of you
[Chorus]
I wanna take care of you, my baby!
[Chorus]
I wanna take care of you
yes, I'm gonna take care of you.
Don't Tell Me You're Not In Love lyrics - Collin Raye
I know you're ready, you show all the signs
Your eyes sparkle, oh how they shine
But you keep saying
You can't take another heartache
The way you hold me, the way that you move
Your feelings keep showing through
You can't hide it
It's written all over your face
Don't tell me you're not in love
When your heart beats like it does
Your trembling body tells on you
Each time we touch
You can tell me you're afraid
I am too and that's okay
I got eyes, I can see
Baby, don't tell me you're not in love
Sweet love songs bring you to tears
Come on, baby, don't hide in your fear
Let your lips say
What your heart already knows
Your denial is the last thing to fall
The only brick left holding the wall
Don't hold back
Speak with your heart and your soul
Don't tell me you're not in love
When your heart beats like it does
Your trembling body tells on you
Each time we touch
You can tell me you're afraid
I am too and that's okay
I got eyes, I can see
Baby, don't tell me you're not in love
I got eyes, I can see
Baby, don't tell me you're not in love, oh
Without You lyrics - Collin Raye
(originally by Badfinger)
Well, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes
Your sorrow shows, yes, it shows
Well, I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrow
Well, I had you there but then I let you go
And now it's only fair that I should let you know
What you should know
I can't live if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give anymore
I can't live if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give anymore
Well, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
I can't live if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give anymore
I can't live if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give anymore
I can't live if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give anymore
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
Mid-Life Chrysler lyrics - Collin Raye
You won't catch him paintin'
High dollar highlights in his hair
Or knockin' down walls in a mall
Lookin' for a hip shirt to wear
And he ain't in the market
For a jet black on black, look at that bed
Or lustin' over some young brown eyed
Bombshell brunette
But every once in a while
After four or five days cuttin' corn in a row
He'll back the tractor in the barn
Shut 'er down and say
"Time to sow some wild oats"
He'll pull that car around, wife comes runnin' out
She slides across the seat, no place he'd rather be
Than right there beside her, in his mid-life Chrysler
He's got buddies his age
In a phase tryin' to turn back time
They got lawyers and ladies lined up
To take a chunk of their back side
Meanwhile he and his bride
Of twenty five years goin' strong
Are busy steamin' up windows
Like a couple of kids doin' somethin' wrong
But every once in a while
After four or five days cuttin' corn in a row
He'll back the tractor in the barn
Shut 'er down and say
"Time to sow some wild oats"
He'll pull that car around, wife comes runnin' out
She slides across the seat, no place he'd rather be
Than right there beside her, in his mid-life Chrysler
Every once in a while
After four or five days cuttin' corn in a row
He'll back the tractor in the barn
Shut 'er down and say
"Time to sow some wild oats"
He'll pull that car around, wife comes runnin' out
She slides across the seat, no place he'd rather be
Than right there beside her, in his mid-life Chrysler
Got a mid-life Chrysler
Got her right there beside him
Chrysler, Chrysler
You Get Me lyrics - Collin Raye
Sometimes I feel so misunderstood
The whole world looks at me like I'm crazy
Sometimes my words don't come out like they should
Somehow you know what I'm saying
You get me, you know me
We're connected, it's a soul thing
You read me like a book
You've memorized inside and out
My reason, my purpose
My deep down, my surface
You're the only one who's ever had a clue what I'm about
You get me
When I'm with you, talk about comfortable
It's so easy to be myself
There are no games, no awkwardness at all
I've never felt this way with anyone else
Oh, you get me, you know me
We're connected, it's a soul thing
You read me like a book
You've memorized inside and out
My reason, my purpose
My deep down, my surface
You're the only one who's ever had a clue what I'm about
You get me
When you look at me I see
My reason, my purpose
My deep down, my surface
You're the only one who's ever had a clue what I'm about
You get me, girl you get me
The Cross lyrics - Collin Raye
I thought she was havin' trouble, so I stopped to lend a hand.
I didn't see that wooden cross behind her Chevy minivan.
I said "sorry ma'am" she said "that's alright, most folks drive on past."
She told me the history even though I didn't ask.
"It's been 14 years today since I took his name.
And a year ago December when we got that freezin' rain.
I'm not one to blame God, but at first I took it bad.
Now I've learned to count the blessings, every moment that we had.
"I don't come to mourn his dying, but to celebrate his life.
Ya know, death can never stop a love between a husband and a wife.
There's something 'bout me coming here when I'm feeling lost.
When I need to find my peace of mind, I just come to the cross."
I got back in my pickup truck and I drove away in tears.
Thanked God for a family and every moment we've had here.
Cause who knows what tomorrow holds or what's waiting round the bend?
And every time I pass a wooden cross, I hear those words again.
"I don't come to mourn his dying, but to celebrate his life.
Ya know, death can never stop a love between a husband and a wife.
There's something 'bout me coming here when I'm feeling lost.
When I need to find my peace of mind, I just come to the cross.
I just come to the cross."
Stuck In The Middle With You lyrics - Collin Raye
(originally by Stealers Wheel)
Well, I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feelin' that somethin' ain't right
So scared in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wonderin' how I'll get down the stairs
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you
And I'm wonderin' what it is I should do
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face
Losin' control, yeah, I'm all over the place
There's clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
Well, you started out with nothin'
And you're proud that you're a self-made man
And your friends, they all come crawlin'
Slap you on the back and say, "Please, please"
Tryin' to make some sense of it all
But I can see, it makes no sense at all
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor?
'Cause I don't think that I can take anymore
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
Well, you started out with nothing
And you're proud that you're a self-made man
And your friends, they all come crawlin'
Slap you on the back and say, "Please, please, please"
Well, I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feelin' that somethin' ain't right
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wonderin' how I'll get down the stairs
There's clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
Stuck in the middle with you
Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you
Stuck in the middle with you
Stuck in the middle with you
The Only Jesus lyrics - Collin Raye
He stumbled in the Quik Stop, scared us all to death
When he cursed at me for staring, I smelt the liquor on his breath
As I felt my anger rising, you know the thought occurred to me
I might be the only Jesus he will ever see
So I turned to him and smiled, yes, he thought that I was strange
When I said I'll pray for you and offered him some change
I couldn't help but wonder, as he stared back at me
I might be the only Jesus he will ever see
And who am I to judge him, don't know what he's been through
If I read the Bible right, it's only something God can do
If I can help him out of darkness, let him see the light in me
I might be the only Jesus he will ever see
I went back outside to the car with my wife and kids
I felt like we were followed, turned around and it was him
And though he didn't say a word, oh, it really got to me
When he looked at me and smiled
And who am I to judge him, don't know what he's been through
If I read the Bible right, it's only something God can do
If I can help him out of darkness, let him see the light in me
I might be the only Jesus he will ever see, yeah
I might be the only Jesus he will ever see
I Love You This Much lyrics - Collin Raye
He didn't have the answers
To half the questions his son ask him
A child's mind is a curious thing
But when his son hugged him and said
Daddy, you know I love you
How much do you love me?
His daddy didn't have to think
With his arms open wide just as far as they could go
He said, as far as I can reach is not enough to show
I would give my life for you, you are my flesh and blood
I love you this much
She stood there crying
Broken-hearted looking up at him
And said, son why are you doing this
He looks down at her wanting to hold her
And wipe her tears away
But he has to leave and that's the way it is
She gave her son one last kiss
And with her arms open wide just as far as they could go
She said, as far as I can reach is not enough to show
I would give my life for you, you are my flesh and blood
I love you this much
And they raised His broken body above the crowd
Drove in the nails as the rain came down
And with His arms open wide just as far as they could go
He said, as far as I can reach is not enough to show
I would give My life for you, you are My flesh and blood
I love you this much, I love you this much
She's With Me lyrics - Collin Raye
She's with me
I proudly tell the maitre de as we arrive
He seems surprised
In a clumsy moment as he looks for room, for her blessed chair
A table stares, and their eyes show only pity
as they try to sympathize
Oh, how difficult that must be, look away
Day after day, they'll never see, the joy you bring
Only happy at the times I know that she's with me
I wear it like a badge of honor at the mall
I hear her call, the only way that she is able with a cry
Time to go bye bye, she can't say why
Maybe tired, maybe hurting, god I wish that I could tell
Do I ever make her happy for awhile
To see her smile, makes my week,
Though she can't speak,
She let's me know she feels my love when she's with me
I know just what heaven looks like when I see that perfect face
For no other mortal heart could be so fair
I myself so weak and weary, so imperfect as a man
How could I be the one you chose to care for our girl
Never done a single deed to earn the right to share her light
Though it's such a painful road we walk each day
Lord you have your ways, this I pray
On the day I stand before you, she'll stand right by my side
When you look upon me, head hung down in shame
I'll feel the blame, she'll look at me,
And then she'll speak, in that precious voice
Don't worry 'bout him my lord, cuz you see,
He's with me
I Know That's Right lyrics - Collin Raye
When I wake up on a Sunday mornin’
Church bell ringing right outside
I feel you laying next to me with our baby in between
I know that's right - I know that's right
When I'm driving and the king is singing
"Burning Love" on a summer night
I feel like I'm still 17 and I'm always gonna be
I know that's right
No one has to tell me I can see it
Like it's written in God's hand across the sky
It's that hallelujah moment when you know it
You just know it
From the bottom of my soul I know that's right
When a beggar asks me for a dollar
I dig down and give him five
Part of me starts thinkin' he'll buy drugs
Or go to drinkin' beer all night
Well I don't claim to have the answers
But there's one thing I believe in life
When someone's down you help 'em out
That's what it's all about I know that's right
No one has to tell me I can see it
Like it's written in God's hand across the sky
It's that hallelujah moment when you know it
You just know it
And from the bottom of my soul I know that's right
From the universe that spins around us
To that quiet little voice inside
Ain't nothing here by accident
Yeah that's the truth, amen
I know that's right
No one has to tell me I can see it
Like it's written in God's hand across the sky
It's that hallelujah moment when you know it
You just know it
And from the bottom of my soul I know that's right
It's that hallelujah moment
When you know it, you just know it
From the bottom of my soul I know that's right
I know that's right
I know that's right
Yeah...
Hurricane Jane lyrics - Collin Raye
No sign of weather
Not a cloud in the sky,
Takin' it easy
I was doin' just fine.
As God as my witness
I was mindin' my business
When she blew into town just like a tropical breeze...
Face like an angel,
Legs as long as you please.
I'll never forget it -
I got all caught up in it -
She was the object of my affection and the
(wind changed direction)
[CHORUS]
Lock down your shutters and your doors
Better row your boat ashore
Lord have mercy when she
Rains down on you...
You've been told,
You've been warned,
You don't know what you're in for...
She's a perfect storm...
Once she comes you'll never be the same
So you better stay away from Hurricane Jane!
She howled like thunder when the sky opened up,
I started shaking when the lightning struck.
My poor heart was breakin'
With every move she was makin'
Then she
Blew right over just as quick as she came
(She probably don't even remember my name!)
I'm broke down and speechless
Trying to pick up the pieces
Just another seduction in her
"path of destruction"...
[CHORUS]
Lock down your shutters and your doors
Better row your boat ashore
Lord have mercy when she
Rains down on you...
You've been told,
You've been warned,
You don't know what you're in for...
She's a perfect storm...
Once she comes you'll never be the same
So you better stay away from Hurricane Jane!
[Instrumental]
Once she comes you'll never be the same,
So you better stay away from Hurricane Jane!
Once she comes you'll never be the same,
So you better stay away from Hurricane Jane!
Once she comes you'll never be the same,
So you better stay away from Hurricane--
Lock down your shutters and your doors
Better row your boat ashore
Lord have mercy when she
Rains down on you...
You've been told,
You've been warned,
You don't know what you're in for...
She's THE perfect storm...
Better stay inside
Where it's safe and warm
But once she comes you'll never be the same
So you better stay away from Hurricane Jane!
Once she comes you'll never be the same
So you better stay away from Hurricane Jane!
The Search Is Over lyrics - Collin Raye
How can I convince you what you see is real
Who am I to blame you for doubting what you feel
I was always reachin', you were just a girl I knew
I took for granted the friend I have in you
I was living for a dream, loving for a moment
Taking on the world, that was just my style
Now I look into your eyes, I can see forever
The search is over, you were with me all the while
Can we last forever, will we fall apart
At times it's so confusing, the questions of the heart
You followed me through changes, and patiently you'd wait
Till I came to my senses, through some miracle of fate
I was living for a dream, loving for a moment
Taking on the world, that was just my style
Now I look into your eyes, I can see forever
The search is over, you were with me all the while
Now the miles stretch out behind me, loves that I have lost
Broken hearts lie victims of the game
Then good luck, it finally stuck like lightning from the blue
Every highway's leading me back to you
Now at last I hold you, now all is said and done
The search has come full circle, our destinies are one
So if you ever loved me, show me that you give a damn
You'll know for certain the man I really am I was living for a dream, loving for a moment
Taking on the world, that was just my style
When I touched your hand, I could hear you whisper
The search is over, love was right before my eyes
Forgotten lyrics - Collin Raye
Most everybody's got
A secret dresser drawer
Or an old shoebox
A back bedroom closet door
And maybe when it rains
Or when nobody else is home
We open it
And find we're really not alone...
If you could see me now
Kneeling on this floor
Watching the memories dance
Holding the flower you wore
You said I would forget
You said that was your greatest fear
But you're still here
Baby, you're still here.
[CHORUS]
And in my heart,
You are not forgotten.
A love this strong
Will hold you close to me
I know you're gone
But Heaven doesn't really seem that far
Even worlds apart
Please know you're not
Forgotten.
Oooohhhhh
Some people take the past
And make it disappear
They pack their heartaches up
Through out the laughter with the tears
But I don't wanna lose
How good we used to be
So you're still here
You're still here with me
[CHORUS]
And in my heart,
You are not forgotten.
A love this strong
Will hold you close to me
I know you're gone
But Heaven doesn't really seem that far
Even worlds apart
Please know you're not
Forgotten.
But now you're gone
But Heaven doesn't really seem that far
Even worlds apart
Please know you're not
Forgotten...
Ooooooooh...
You're Not Drinking Enough lyrics - Collin Raye
I can see that you haven't recovered
From the girl who let you down
But you'd sell what is left of your soul
For another go-round
You keep tellin' yourself she means nothin'
And maybe you should call her bluff
But you don't really believe it
You must not be drinkin' enough
Oh, the perfume she wore
You can buy down at the Five and Dime
But on some other woman
It don't smell the same in your mind
You keep tellin' yourself that you can take it
You keep tellin' yourself that you're tough
But you still wanna hold her
So you must not be drinkin' enough
Oooh
You're not drinkin' enough
To wash away old memories
And there ain't enough whiskey in Texas
To keep you from beggin'
Please, please, please
She passed on your passion
And stepped on your pride
Turns out you ain't quite so tough
'Cause you still wanna hold her
You must not be drinkin' enough
Ay-yi-yi-yi, you ask yourself why
But you still wanna hold her
You must not be drinkin' enough, no
Ay-yi-yi-yi, ay-yi-yi-yi
Whoa, you still wanna hold her
You must no be drinkin' enough
Ay-yi-yi-yi, ay-yi-yi-yi
Oh, I still wanna hold her
I must not be drinkin' enough
Josephine lyrics - Collin Raye
I'm writin' this letter, my darlin, from high on a hill.
We've been marchin' ten days and we're just outside Hawkinsville.
It's been snowin' all night and we ain't got no more kersosene.
It's colder than hell,
Hope you're doin' well,
Josephine.
There's a fever in camp and our boys are too sick to fight.
We done lost ol' Calvin;
Weaver won't make it through the night.
I overheard the Captain say it's the worst he's ever seen.
I'm losin' some weight
but I'm still standin' up straight,
Josephine.
[CHORUS]
Tell the children I miss 'em and wish I could kiss 'em once more.
Bet they've growed a foot since they waved me goodbye at the door.
Tell Mama and Daddy I'm all right
And just one more thing:
I love you, I love you, I love you, Josephine.
There's three thousand Union troops camped at the river below.
And six hundred of us -
At least there was two nights ago.
Will Irwin deserted and
They hung him down by the stream.
Good God, I'm so scared,
Keep me in your prayers,
Josephine.
The order came down: we attack tonight at nightfall.
If we can stop 'em right here
We can win this war, once and for all.
You know, I killed a Union boy last week -
Bet he wasn't fourteen.
He looked just like our son,
Forgive me for what I've done,
Josephine.
[CHORUS]
Tell the children I miss 'em and wish I could kiss 'em once more.
Bet they've growed a foot since they waved me goodbye at the door.
Tell Mama and Daddy I'm all right
And just one more thing:
I love you, I love you, I love you, Josephine.
And lastly, my darling, in case I should be killed...
Don't grieve me too long
Promise me that you will
Marry another and don't let him treat our babies mean,
And when he's holding you, won't you think of me too, Josephine?
[CHORUS]
Tell the children I miss 'em and wish I could kiss 'em once more.
Bet they've growed a foot since they waved me goodbye at the door.
Tell Mama and Daddy I'm all right
And just one more thing:
I love you, I love you, I love you, Josephine.
Oh, I love you, I love you, I love you, Josephine.
Heart lyrics - Collin Raye
You never listen to a word I say
You do what you want to anyway
You think you're so smart, heart
I give you reasons why you're gonna get broken
But it's as if my words never were spoken
You're the one in charge, heart
Well, I've got no choice but to follow you
That's a fact, I'd better face it
'Cause I can't beat how you make me feel
Oh, you know you're so persuasive
You showed me everything that love could be
Then turned your back and brought me to my knees
You can be so hard, heart
Oh, I say stop and you say go, it drives me crazy
We agree on anything, it drives me crazy
But that's the way you are, heart
Well, I've got no choice but to follow you
That's a fact, I'd better face it
'Cause I can't beat how you make me feel
Oh, you know you're so persuasive
Sometimes I wish that you'd just leave me alone
But there's some things I can't do on my own
So I'll take my chance, finish what you start, heart
Yeah, mmmmm
Gonna finish what you start, heart
Yeah, you think that you're so smart
Don't you know, heart
This is the way you are
Mmmmm, oh, heart
