You'll Never Hear The End Of It lyrics - Clay Walker

You stirred up a breeze that felt like Heaven
As you walked by
And when you smiled and handed me your number
You changed my life

What could I do but call
Face it girl, it's all your fault

You'll never hear the end of it
Girl, I'll never get tired of sayin', I love you
I'll say it and then I'll say it again
You'll never hear the end of it

I can promise that I'll never leave you
Room for doubt
Nothing's ever gonna come between us
We can work out

Our love will go on
Until forever has come and gone

You'll never hear the end of it
Girl, I'll never get tired of sayin', I love you
I'll say it and then I'll say it again
You'll never hear the end of it

I don't have a choice
I hope you like the sound of my voice

You'll never hear the end of it
Girl, I'll never get tired of sayin', I love you
I'll say it and then I'll say it again
You'll never hear the end of it
You'll never hear the end of it



Country Boy And City Girl lyrics - Clay Walker

Now I'm not the kind to take things for granted
A simple mind and two strong working hands
But right at the time I thought my feet were planted
You came along and uprooted this simple man

A strong-willed woman with every chance to show it
But I didn't mind 'cause you made my life worthwhile
A beautiful woman with every reason to know it
You liked my courage and honey, I sure liked your style

A country boy and city girl, makin' life in this old world
We went against the grain and against all odds
It don't matter what they say, I'm gonna love you anyway
And time won't undo what you've gone and done to my heart

Well, I always thought we'd stay together
And I still think about you from time to time
But I should have known nothing lasts forever
But I'd never be the one to say goodbye and I remember

A country boy and city girl makin' life in this old world
We went against the grain and against all odds
It don't matter what they say, I'm gonna love you anyway
And time won't undo what you've gone and done to my heart
And oh, honey time cannot do what you've gone and done to my heart

I Need A Margarita lyrics - Clay Walker

Met a little senorita named Margarita down in Mexico
She taught me more about love, in a day or two than I'll ever know
I had to go back across the Rio Grande
And leave that little girl behind
I can't believe how heavy she's laying on my mind

Oh tonight I need a Margarita and I need it bad
I'm hoping that the tequila is gonna take me back
Give me the salt and the lime
So I can taste her and hold her one last time
Oh tonight I need a Margarita and I need her bad

Those eyes and that smile, they drove me wild, I just couldn't resist
I couldn't get enough from our first touch to our last kiss
I never understood a single word, she said, oh, but she left no doubt
When she spoke to me in the language of love
She turned my world inside out

Oh tonight I need a Margarita and I need it bad
I'm hoping that the tequila is gonna take me back
Oh, give me the salt and the lime
So I can taste her and hold her one last time
Oh tonight I need a Margarita and I need her bad
Oh tonight I need a Margarita and I need her bad

That's Us lyrics - Clay Walker

Sometimes I ignore reality
But baby that's me, I've always been a dreamer
You'd rather face the cold hard truth
But baby that's you, you called it like you see it

In half the time my head's up in the clouds
You're the only thing that keeps me on the ground

That's us
As different as the night and day
That's us
But the good Lord had it planned that way

That's love, he looked down and knew
A man would need a woman's touch
Two souls come together and make one
That's us

And when I feel like I just can't go on
The dreams have come and gone
I know you'll always be there

And when that old cold truth is hard to face
And I'll carry you away, years from now I'll still care
In rockin' chairs we'll share old memories
Made up of part of you and part of me

That's us
As different as the night and day
That's us
But the good Lord had it planned that way

That's love, he looked down and knew
A man would need a woman's touch
Two souls come together and make one
That's us

Two souls come together and make one
That's us

Then What? lyrics - Clay Walker

Well, I got a good friend who's got a good life
He's got two pretty children and a real nice wife
Yet he never seems quite satisfied
I said, "I know what's on your mind
But you better think about it before you cross that line
The grass ain't always greener on the other side"

Then what, what you gonna do
When the new wears off and the old shines through
And it ain't really love and it ain't really lust
You ain't anybody any body's gonna trust
Then what, where you gonna turn
When you can't turn back for the bridges you burn
And fate can't wait to kick you in the butt, then what?
Oh then what?

Well, I ain't saying that looking's a crime
Well, I've done my share from time to time
It don't mean that you gotta take that leap
When you're standin' on the brink
Before you jump you gotta step back and think
There's price for every promise you don't keep

Then what, what you gonna do
When the new wears off and the old shines through
And it ain't really love and it ain't really lust
You ain't anybody, any body's gonna trust?
Then what, where you gonna turn
When you can't turn back for the bridges you burn
And fate can't wait to kick you in the butt, then what?
Oh, then what?

Do what you want, do what you wish
It's your life but remember this
There's bound to be some consequences
Sneaking under other fences

Then what, what you gonna do
When the new wears off and the old shines through
And it ain't really love and it ain't really lust
You ain't anybody any body's gonna trust
Then what, where you gonna turn
When you can't turn back for the bridges you burn
And fate can't wait to kick you in the butt, then what?
Oh, then what?

Who Needs You Baby lyrics - Clay Walker

So long, see you around
Seen all I wanna see of this town
I'm out of time and I'm out of tears
Out of my mind and I'm out of here

Who needs the heartache baby, who needs the pain?
Who needs to hang around and take the blame?
Who needs a woman to make him blue?
Who needs you baby? I do

Why are you wearing that negligee?
Sure makes it hard to walk away
I gotta go I can't take this abuse
Why are you smiling, would I lie to you?

Who needs the heartache baby, who needs the pain?
Who needs to hang around and take the blame?
Who needs a woman to make him blue?
Who needs you baby? I do

You've got your fingers in my hair, whisperin' in my ear
Filling my head full of doubts
Tell me just what you think you've got
I can't live without

Who needs the heartache baby, who needs the pain?
Who needs to hang around and take the blame?
Who needs a woman to make him blue?
Who needs you baby?

Who needs the heartache baby, who needs the pain?
Who needs to hang around and take the blame?
Who needs a woman to make him blue?
Who needs you baby? I guess that'd be me

Who needs the heartache baby, who needs the pain?
Who needs to hang around and take the blame?
Who needs a woman to make him blue?
Who needs you baby?

I Won't Have The Heart lyrics - Clay Walker

The frost is on the ground in this tiny Texas town
And you're packing up the U-haul in the yard
I gave you everything, all I'm taking is the blame
And you wonderin' if I'm gonna fall apart
Well, darling I won't have the heart

I won't have the heart to love again
Just ask anyone who knows
I won't have the heart to love again
You'll be taking it with you when you go

The morning air is cold, it sends shivers to my soul
But it's warmer than the look I get from you
And if you're gonna leave, tell me where does that leave me
And don't tell me I'll find somebody new
'Cause darling, I won't have the heart to

I won't have the heart to love again
Just ask anyone who knows
I won't have the heart to love again
You'll be taking it with you when you go

No darling, I won't have the heart to
I won't have the heart to love again
Just ask anyone who knows
I won't have the heart to love again
You'll be taking it with you when you go
You'll be taking it with you when you go

Let Me Take The Heartache (Off Your Hands) lyrics - Clay Walker

Once again, he's left you here crying
And it hurts me to see him hurt you this way
And once again, here I am trying
To make the tears disappear from your face for your sake

Let me take that heartache off your hands
You've stood more than one heart should stand
Don't give up on love till you give me a chance
Let me take that heartache off your hands

These shoulders were made for you to cry on
If you need them, they're yours any time
These arms are yours to try on
I'll make sure they fit you just right, they'll hold you tight

Let me take that heartache off your hands
You've stood more than one heart should stand
Don't give up on love till you give me a chance
Let me take that heartache off your hands
Don't give up on love till you give me a chance
Let me take that heartache off your hands

Hypnotize The Moon lyrics - Clay Walker

She knew she caught my eye
And that was all it took
Ain't it strange how forever changed
With just one look

The magic filled the night
She touched my soul like no one else
Yes, the way that woman made me feel
Left me talking to myself

You better run for cover
You better hide your heart
'Cause once you start to love her
You know you'll never stop

She shines like a diamond
When she walks into a room
She could charm the stars
Hypnotize the moon

Once I held her close
I knew just where I stood
No, you never get a second chance
To ever feel so good

Then and there I knew
These words were etched in stone
If you can't feel the power of
The greatest love you've known

You better run for cover
You better hide your heart
'Cause once you start to love her
You know you'll never stop

She shines like a diamond
When she walks into a room
She could charm the stars
Hypnotize the moon

You better run for cover
You better hide your heart
'Cause once you start to love her
You know you'll never stop

She shines like a diamond
When she walks into a room
She could charm the stars
She could charm the stars
Hypnotize the moon

Hand Me Down Heart lyrics - Clay Walker

Well baby, I ain't gonna lie
This ain't my first ride
I've saddled up and bruised my hide a time or two

It's true I'm not a brand-new man
I've been around the block and back again
But I've already been broken in, yeah, I'm the one for you

And well, if you don't mind a hand me down heart
I've got just the thing for you
It's been used and it's been bruised
But it still beats like new

It's got a few burned valves, it's a little worn out
But baby, it'll love you true
So if you don't mind a hand me down heart
I've got one for you

Well, I've seen a few miles and years
I've cried a few thousand tears
But honey, let me calm your fears
And leave no doubt

'Cause when you got a rebuilt heart
You only use the very best parts
And it's guaranteed to start lovin' you right now

And well, if you don't mind a hand me down heart
I've got just the thing for you
It's been used and it's been bruised
But it still beats like new

It's got a few burned valves, it's a little worn out
But baby, it'll love you true
So if you don't mind a hand me down heart
I've got one for you

It's got a few burned valves, it's a little worn out
Baby, it'll love you true
So if you don't mind a hand me down heart
I've got one for you

Only On Days That End In Y lyrics - Clay Walker

When you left, I told myself
I'd wouldn't let you haunt my mind

I'd be strong, I'd carry on
An' leave the past behind
I'd just forget we ever met
An' find somebody new

An' now I want you to know
I'm almost over you

[Chorus:]
The only time I ever miss you, honey
Is when I'm alone or when I'm with somebody
Your memory never even gets to me
'Cept when I'm awake, an' when I m sleeping
Girl you never even cross my mind
'Cept just when I think I left you far behind
Only when I laugh, only when I cry,
An' only on days that end in "Y"

Now I'll admit, you're hard to quit
I been goin' through a bad withdrawal
But you can bet I had to let
You walk before I'd crawl
I got my pride, wrong or right
I m gonna stand my ground
An I ain't gonna let
You're memory get me down

[Chorus]

When you walked out, I was just about
To break down an' beg you not to go
But if you wanna come home,
I think it's only fair that you should know

[Chorus]

Where Were You lyrics - Clay Walker

I used to wake up at nights
Calling out your name
Then cry myself back to sleep
Knowing I'd only dream

I stayed inside for days
Trapped within my mind
Wondering where you had gone
Convinced I could not go on

And just when I started feeling
those hands of time start to healing
You're here at my door saying
Your new dreams have led you back to me

Where were you? When I was going crazy, where were you?
Do you know what your leaving, put me through
When you were feeling lost last thing I knew
You went off to find yourself, where were you?

I can't pretend I'm strong
Or act like I don't care
But I won't betray my heart
Now that we've come this far

I let you go 'cause I had to
I close this door 'cause I need to
This tunnel has a light
It's not that far away it's brighter every day

Where were you? When I was going crazy, where were you?
Do you know what your leaving, put me through
When you were feeling lost last thing I knew
You went off to find yourself, where were you, where were you?

Loving You Comes Naturally To Me lyrics - Clay Walker

When the moon pulls the tide
The ocean don't ask why, it just follows
No one has to tell the trees
It's time to grow new leaves down in the hollow

And I've heard it said
It's all part of the good Lord's master plan
And now I understand why
Every time you walk in the room
I find myself reaching for you

I don't even have to try
'Cause like the way
This heart of mine beats
Loving you comes naturally to me

Like singin' is to birds
I'm never at a loss for words when I'm near you
Every time I hold you tight
I get a feeling deep inside like I was born to

Girl, there ain't no doubt
It's the easiest thing I've ever done
And I know you're the one
'Cause every time you walk in the room
I find myself reaching for you

I don't even have to try
'Cause like the way
This heart of mine beats
Loving you comes naturally to me

I don't even have to try
'Cause like the way
This heart of mine beats
Loving you comes naturally to me

Bury The Shovel lyrics - Clay Walker

Got a long list of things to do
And it begins and ends with gettin' over you
I can't quit 'til I'm through
I get up with the sun and I go down with the moon

Pain and tears can't be all there is
Is it any wonder I'm feeling six feet under?
Baby, you're nothing but too much trouble
Gotta bury this love and bury the shovel

Gonna dig me a hole and make it deep
I'm gonna lay it down, what's left of us
And then put this thing to sleep
Let my soul rest in peace
I'm gotta nail down the lid on these stone cold memories

Pain and tears can't be all there is
Is it any wonder I'm feeling six feet under?
Baby, you're nothing but too much trouble
Gotta bury this love and bury the shovel

Pain and tears can't be all there is
Is it any wonder I'm feeling six feet under?
Baby, you're nothing but too much trouble
Gotta bury this love and bury the shovel

A Cowboy's Toughest Ride lyrics - Clay Walker

See that cowboy at the bar
The one at the end with all the scars
He got stomped by the meanest bronc in Santa Fe
But if he looks a little down and out
It ain't that bronc he's thinking about
It's that girl that broke his heart along the way

When a cowboy falls, he falls hard
And sometimes he falls way too far
And you can bet that when he hits the ground
And he'll get back up and play the part
Even with a broken heart
He'll hold the reins and hide the pain inside
Love's always a cowboy's toughest ride

Girl just listen to me now
I should know what I'm talking about
'Cause everything I learned, I learned from you
I have rode some broncs from hell
And it hurt me every time I fell
But not half as much as the pain of losing you

When this cowboy falls, he falls hard
And sometimes he falls way too far
But you can bet that when he hits the ground
He'll get back up and play the part
Even with a broken heart
He'll hold the reins and hide the pain inside
Love's always a cowboy's toughest ride
You were there, so cowboy's toughest ride

Love Me Like You Love Me lyrics - Clay Walker

Back when we let the good times roll
You held on to my heart and soul
It wasn't really very long ago
Let's go back again

Reach out and turn the TV off
Slow down and let the world get lost
Slip into something nice and soft
And lie here in my arms

Love me like you love me
Do it like you mean it one more time tonight
Hold me close and love me like you love me

Take all the dreams and shattered hopes
And every angry word we ever spoke
Trade 'em in for a couple cherry Cokes
Stay here for a while

There are no questions that we need to ask
Every precious kiss could be our last
There is no future and there is no past
All we've got is now

So love me like you love me
Do it like you mean it one last time tonight
Hold me close and love me like you love me

Don't you know that I'll always love you
So soft girl don't you feel it too?

So love me like you love me
Do it like you mean it one more time all night
Hold me close and love me like you love me
Love me like you love me

"If I Could Make A Living" (1994)

If I Could Make A Living lyrics - Clay Walker

If I could make a living out of lovin' you
I'd be a millionaire in a week or two
I'd be doin' what I love and lovin' what I do
If I could make a living out of lovin' you

Early every mornin' when the sun comes up
I'm punchin' that clock on the wall
Breakin' my back just to make a buck
Wishin' I was in your arms

If I could make a living out of lovin' you
I'd be a millionaire in a week or two
I'd be doin' what I love and lovin' what I do
If I could make a living out of lovin' you

I could work all day and feel right at home
Lovin' that eight to five
Never have to leave you here alone
When I'm workin' overtime

If I could make a living out of lovin' you
I'd be a millionaire in a week or two
I'd be doin' what I love and lovin' what I do
If I could make a living out of lovin' you

If I could make a living out of lovin' you
I'd be a millionaire in a week or two
I'd be doin' what I love and lovin' what I do
If I could make a living out of lovin' you

If I could make a living out of lovin' you
I'd be a millionaire in a week or two
I'd be doin' what I love and lovin' what I do
If I could make a living out of lovin' you

The Melrose Avenue Cinema Two lyrics - Clay Walker

The last day of school was the first of June
Me and Bobby watched the clock all afternoon
Waitin' for the bell and Mrs. Greer
To say, "Have a good summer, see you next year"

That night I couldn't sleep 'cause the very next day
They started up the summertime matinees
With a different movie every afternoon
At the Melrose Avenue Cinema Two

Me and Bobby rode rockets into outer space
We drove Daytona and we won the race
We shot a lotta bull and some bad guys too

At the Melrose Avenue Cinema Two
The Melrose Avenue Cinema Two

Well, the years went by and the price went up
From a couple of quarters to a couple of bucks
Bobby and his family moved away
So I found my little girl to take his place

Me and Betty saw our share of love scenes
We even saw a couple on the movie screen
John Wayne won the lady and I did too

At the Melrose Avenue Cinema Two
The Melrose Avenue Cinema Two

Now the Melrose Avenue Cinema Two
Is a second hand store called 'Nothin' New'
All that's left of the old marquee
Is some broken glass and one crooked 'T'

And I watch old movies on a new TV
With Betty on the couch sittin' next to me
We still hold hands like we used to do

At the Melrose Avenue Cinema Two
The Melrose Avenue Cinema Two
The Melrose Avenue Cinema Two
Yes, we do

My Heart Will Never Know lyrics - Clay Walker

I pour two cups of coffee, put the paper on the table
So we can share the morning news
Your voice answers our phone when we're not home
Friends who call can leave a message here for you
Every night I leave the light on, you're just working late
As far as I can see everything is still the same

And my heart will never know, so I don't fall apart
I fool myself for another day that you're not really gone
After all this time it's still too hard to let you go
As long as I don't say, "Goodbye" my heart will never know

It's been a long cold December, the snow outside keeps fallin'
I light a fire when you get home
It reminds me of the first night we made love
Like it would last forever and nothing could go wrong
You're a part of me, a part of everything I do
So I keep holding on, hiding from the truth

So my heart will never know, so I don't fall apart
I fool myself for another day that you're not really gone
And after all this time it's still too hard to let you go
As long as I don't say, "Goodbye" my heart will never know
And after all this time it's still too hard to let you go
As long as I don't say, "Goodbye" my heart will never know

What Do You Want For Nothin' lyrics - Clay Walker

You bought my love with a lot of sweet nothin's
Promises and lies
Had all I want of your kind of lovin'
It's time to say goodbye
After all you've given me
Don't look so surprised

What do you want for nothin' baby
A solid gold guarentee
That you get everything you need
But there is no love in it for me
You wanna deal on the way I feel
But I'm not buying that
What do you want for nothin' baby
Your money back
What do you want for nothin' baby
Your money back

I hate to spoil the party baby
But I've got to be on my way
All I wanted was your love
But it was more than you would pay
Now you want a second chance
To give me more of the same

What do you want for nothin' baby
A solid gold guarentee
That you get everything you need
But there is no love in it for me
You wanna deal on the way I feel
But I'm not buying that
What do you want for nothin' baby
Your money back
What do you want for nothin' baby
Your money back

What do you want for nothin' baby
A solid gold guarentee
That you get everything you need
But there is no love in it for me
You wanna deal on the way I feel
But I'm not buying that
What do you want for nothin' baby
Your money back
What do you want for nothin' baby
Your money back
What do you want for nothin' baby
Your money back
What do you want for nothin' baby
Your money back

This Woman And This Man lyrics - Clay Walker

Been tryin' so hard just to talk to you
Haven't heard half of what you want me to
I've hurt so bad over where we've been
Don't know how not to go back there again

I know what I wanna say
Can I get it through to you now
In some other way? Like

There was this woman
And there was this man
There was this moment they had a chance
To hold on to what they had

How could they be so in love
And still never see
Now nothin' could be sadder than
This woman this woman and this man

A stranger's eyes in a lover's face
See no signs of a better time and place
Have we lost the key to an open door?
I feel the need to reach out to you even more

It's a circle we're goin' 'round
If we don't get us out from under
It's gonna take us down, see

There was this woman
And there was this man
There was this moment they had a chance
To hold on to what they had

How could they be so in love
And still never see
Now nothin' could be sadder than
This woman this woman and this man

For all we've got to lose
There's so much to gain
If we come this far and leave it behind
There's only you and me to blame

See there was this woman
And there was this man
There was this moment they had a chance
To hold on to what they had

How could they be so in love
And still never see
Yeah, we can get it back again
This woman this woman and this man
Yeah, we can get it back again
This woman this woman and this man

Boogie Till The Cows Come Home lyrics - Clay Walker

There's a wood stove in the corner
There's saw dust on the floor
They've got a flashing neon lone star sign
Hangin' by the door
All they sell is beer and setups
So you'll have to bring your own
But when they play that swing it only means one thing
You're gonna boogie till the cows come home

'Faded Love' and 'Milk Cow Blues'
'The Oklahoma Stomp' and 'Born to lose'
Tip your hat to the 'Rose of San Antone'
Here we go with the 'Cotton Eyed Joe'
We're gonna boogie till the cows come home

It's an old Southwest tradition
And a guaranteed good time
And there's people of all ages here
From one to ninety-nine
Even if you show up by yourself
You don't have to be alone
'Cause when they play that swing it only means one thing
You're gonna boogie till the cows come home

'Faded Love' and 'Milk Cow Blues'
'The Oklahoma Stomp' and 'Born to lose'
Tip your hat to the 'Rose of San Antone'
Here we go with the 'Cotton Eyed Joe'
We're gonna boogie till the cows come home

'Faded Love' and 'Milk Cow Blues'
'The Oklahoma Stomp' and 'Born to lose'
Tip your hat to the 'Rose of San Antone'
Here we go with the 'Cotton Eyed Joe'
We're gonna boogie till the cows come home

'Faded Love' and 'Milk Cow Blues'
'The Oklahoma Stomp' and 'Born to lose'
Tip your hat to the 'Rose of San Antone'
Here we go with the 'Cotton Eyed Joe'
We're gonna boogie till the cows come home

Here we go with the 'Cotton Eyed Joe'
We're gonna boogie till the cows come home

Heartache Highway lyrics - Clay Walker

The sun's reflecting off the city limit sign
I better keep movin' before I change my mind
Lookin' in the rearview mirror
Comin' home didn't make it clearer
I didn't wanna hear her say goodbye

Heartache Highway why didn't I say
What she wanted to hear
Why must the most important words go unspoken
Heartache Highway now it's too late

To ever change her mind
Oh, it's a hell of a road
When you're leavin' heaven behind

Memories of her dance in my headlights
As I'm ridin' my pain into the night
Headin' for the next horizon
Watchin' the full moon risin'
Gotta keep on drivin' goin' nowhere on this

Heartache Highway why didn't I say
What she wanted to hear
Why must the most important words go unspoken

Heartache Highway now it's too late
To ever change her mind
Oh, it's a hell of a road
When you're leavin' heaven behind

Oh, it's a hell of a road
When you're leavin' heaven behind

You Make It Look So Easy lyrics - Clay Walker

I never thought it would hurt me so bad
Seein' you look so good
You're movin' on and you're not lookin' back
Just like I hoped, I would

How do you stop lovin' someone
And turn what we had into nothin'?
I wish, I could

You make it look so easy
The way that you got over me
You act as if your leavin'
Was natural as the air you breathe

And you're so together
While I'm fallin' apart
You make it look so easy
And that's what makes it so hard

I've seen you out at at the places we went
Dancin' with someone new
You didn't take long to start livin' again
After our life was through

How do you let go of the good times
With a wave of your hand and a goodbye?
I wish, I knew

You make it look so easy
The way that you got over me
You act as if your leavin'
Was natural as the air you breathe

And you're so together
While I'm fallin' apart
You make it look so easy
And that's what makes it so hard

You make it look so easy
And that's what makes it so hard

Lose Your Memory lyrics - Clay Walker

Last night is the last time
She's ever leavin' me
'Cause I've taken all the past times
And I've stored 'em in my memory

She probably thinks I'm crazy
She probably thinks I've lost my mind
'Cause when she drove away
Well, I just waved goodbye

It's been one time, two times, three times more
Than I can't bear to stand
The clock is stopped from that slammin' door
And I can't turn the hands

Well, I've lost track of time
But you're still right here with me
'Cause honey I might lose my mind
But I'll never lose your memory

Everybody asks me
How I got over you
Well, I just tell them that we
We're just about overdue

Well, it don't matter how far you go
'Cause you're never far from me
'Cause honey, I might lose my mind
But I'll never lose your memory

It's been one time, two times, three times more
Than I can't bear to stand
The clock is stopped from that slammin' door
And I can't turn the hands

Well, I've lost track of time
But you're still right here with me
'Cause honey I might lose my mind
But I'll never lose your memory

Baby, you made me lose my mind
But I'll never lose your memory

Money Ain't Everything lyrics - Clay Walker

Let's go to Louisiana, boys

Way down in Louisiana
Where the moss and cypress grew
You'd find old Jack in a shotgun shack
In the back of the black bayou

Some folks called him crazy
But I knew better than that
He kept a hundred dollar bill
Tucked away in the brim
Of his dirty old cowboy hat

Jack told me a story
When I was ten years old
He said, "There was once a fool
Tried to swim this swamp
With his back weighted down with gold"

He said, "You should've seen that alligator smile
He had a meal fit for a king
But he ened up on my table son
Money ain't everything"

He said, "There's only one way into this world
And one way out it's true
You either eat the alligator
Or he's gonna eat you"

"There's people livin' in a high-rise
That'll never hear a robin sing
What good is first place
When you're in a rat race
Money ain't everything"

Little Maggie May was dying
Her heart was about to go
When her daddy found a sack
On the porch out back
With half a million dollars in gold

But they still talk about the stranger
Who saved her life that spring
No name on the note
But someone wrote
Money ain't everything

He said, "There's only one way into this world
And one way out it's true
You either eat the alligator
Or he's gonna eat you"

"There's people livin' in a high-rise
That'll never hear a robin sing
What good is first place
When you're in a rat race
Money ain't everything"

No name on the note
But I know who wrote
Money ain't everything

Down By The Riverside lyrics - Clay Walker

The wind was blowing through your hair
The moon was shing on your face
You looked like a picture sittin' there
And time stood still there in that place
The water was singin', out hearts were beatin' fast
Two high school lovers thinkin' it would always last

Down by the riverside on a warm summer night
We gave into passion for the very first time
We fumbled with love 'til we got it right
And we found heaven down by the riverside

Now you're nothin' but a ghost
That still haunts my memory
And you're always waitin' there
When I go walkin' through my dreams
There's no happy ending but I know our love will last
'Cause when I close my eyes you always take me back

Down by the riverside on a warm summer night
We gave into passion for the very first time
We fumbled with love 'til we got it right
And we found heaven down by the riverside

On a warm summer night
We gave into passion for the very first time
We fumbled with love 'til we got it right
And we found heaven down by the riverside

"Clay Walker" (1993)

Dreaming With My Eyes Open lyrics - Clay Walker

I spent half my life on bended knee
Begging somebody to change
And the other half prayin' to God
That they never would

And all it got me was twice as lost
When it all turned out the same
But all that beggin' finally did somebody good

I used to dream all night
Of the day that was gone
But come the mornin' light
Forever from now on

Gonna do my dreamin'
With my eyes wide open
I'll do my looking back
With my eyes closed

We can do some livin'
Or spend our whole life hopin'
'Cause in the end we're left with
The one we chose

So, I'll do my dreaming
With my eyes wide open

Every time the world moved on
I fell a little further behind
From runnin' back
Or followin' someone home

Till I learned that one step forward
Will take you further on
Than a thousand back
Or a million that ain't your own

I used to dream all night
Of the day that was gone
But come the mornin' light
Forever from now on

Gonna do my dreamin'
With my eyes wide open
I'll do my looking back
With my eyes closed

We can do some livin'
Or spend our whole life hopin'
But in the end we're left with
The one we chose

So, I'll do my dreaming
With my eyes wide open

We can do some livin'
Or spend our whole life hopin'
'Cause in the end we're left with
The one we chose

So, I'll do my dreaming
With my eyes wide open

What's It To You lyrics - Clay Walker

What's that I hear angels singin'
Telling me to make my move
Listen to it, their voices ringin' baby
If you feel it get in the groove

Love is the rhythm of two hearts beating
Poundin' out a message steady and true
Talk to me baby, tell me what you're feelin'
I know what love is, what's it to you?

Time's up, trains are leavin' baby
Are you ready to take that ride
Get on board don't keep me waiting baby
Say you're willin' to cross that line

Love is the rhythm of two hearts beating
Poundin' out a message steady and true
Talk to me baby tell me what you're feelin'
I know what love is, what's it to you?

I'm sure your heart is telling you true
I gotta know what love is to you

'Cause to me it's the rhythm of two hearts beating
Poundin' out a message steady and true
Talk to me baby tell me what you're feelin'
I know what love is, what's it to you?

Love is the rhythm of two hearts beating
Poundin' out a message steady and true
Talk to me baby tell me what you're feelin'
I know what love is, what's it to you?
I know what love is, what's it to you?

The Silence Speaks For Itself lyrics - Clay Walker

There's an oil well down on Johnson's Road
Where we'd go to be alone
I never thought I'd go there by myself
I stood there callin' out your name
No one answered, just the same
The silence speaks for itself

Well, I've been high and I've been low
And I've walked through the fires of hell
Are you comin' back, Lord? I don't know
I guess the silence speaks for itself

The last time you talked to me
I did all the talkin', now I see
You were tellin' me there was someone else
What I'd give to hear your voice
But I'm not given any choice
'Cause the silence speaks for itself

Well, I've been high and I've been low
And I've walked through the fires of hell
Are you comin' back, Lord? I don't know
I guess the silence speaks for itself

Well, I've been high and I've been low
And I've walked through the fires of hell
Are you comin' back, Lord? I don't know
I guess the silence speaks for itself

I guess the silence

How To Make A Man Lonesome lyrics - Clay Walker

Three weeks in Phoenix one night to go
You're lookin' too good and you're standing to close
That song on the jukebox
Your dance-with-me smile
Has got me thinkin' of someone
I haven't seen in a while

You sure know how to make a man lonesome
I see so much of my woman in you
You sure know how to make a man lonesome
But she knows how to keep her man true

Yes, I know that it's early
Why am I leaving so soon
Well, it's too warm in here
And it's me not the room
And the way that you're starin'
I've seen that look before
You're makin' me want her all that much more

You sure know how to make a man lonesome
I see so much of my woman in you
You sure know how to make a man lonesome
But she knows how to keep her man true

You sure know how to make a man lonesome
But she knows how to keep her man true

Next Step In Love lyrics - Clay Walker


Solid gold candle holders
And an old bottle of wine
You let your hair down on your shoulders
And you pressed your lips to mine

The rain beat soft against the window
As the night turned into dawn
And as I looked deep into your eyes
I knew where my heart belonged

I'm ready for the next step in love
Girl, you're all that I can think of
Isn't my love good enough
I'm ready for the next step in love

Solid white wedding dress
And a long white veil
We put all our fears to rest
And we let this ship set sail

I placed the ring on your finger
Then you looked at me and smiled
Then we sealed our love with one last kiss
And I walked you up the aisle

I'm ready for the next step in love
Girl, you're all that I can think of
Isn't my love good enough
I'm ready for the next step in love

I'm ready for the next step in love
Girl, you're all that I can think of
Isn't my love good enough
I'm ready for the next step in love
I'm ready for the next step in love

Money Can't Buy lyrics - Clay Walker

Well it looks like he's doin' what I didn't do
Givin' you love and money too, it's over
Where do I go from here
Well I appreciate your nice goodbye
Not even a letter so that I could fool myself
Into thinkin' that you really cared

I tried to give you everything you wanted
But it looks like I got burned by the flame I've started

Money can't buy the love we had
You can't do a thing for a love gone bad
But it cost me everything that I ever had
And even money can't buy back the love we had

Now there's nobody left for me to blame
If I could do it over I'd do it the same, I gave you my very best
You said you'd love me through thick and thin
But when one heart lies the other can't win for losin'
Where do I go from here

I tried to give you everything you wanted
But it looks like I got burned by the flame I've started

Money can't buy the love we had
You can't do a thing for a love gone bad
But it cost me everything that I ever had
And even money can't buy back the love we had
Even money can't buy back the love we had

Things I Should Have Said lyrics - Clay Walker

I love you so much in so many ways
I need you more and more every day
I want to spend my life with you
My love will never end
These are a few of the things I should have said

Before you gave up on me and walked out the door
Before you found someone else you thought loved you more
He probably told you everything that's running through my head
Now it's much too late to say the things I should have said

You told me just as plain as it could be
How you needed to hear some words of love from me
I never thought it mattered much
Now it sure looks like it did
Oh, why didn't I say the things I should have said

Before you gave up on me and walked out the door
Before you found someone else you thought loved you more
He probably told you everything that's running through my head
Now it's much too late to say the things I should have said

He probably told you everything that's running through my head
Now it's much too late to say the things I should have said
Now I'll never get the chance to say the things I should have said

Where Do I Fit In The Picture lyrics - Clay Walker

Well, it looks like you finally made the front page
You always did look good in white
And I hope you like the ring of your new name
The one you'll be given tonight

But all of this is news to me
I wondered why you never called
I guess that's the way that it's meant to be
If you're gonna ride you've gotta learn to fall

But, where do I fit in the picture
Or do I really fit at all
Or have I become a fixture
On an old forgotten wall

Well, it looks like I finally made the front page
You know you always said I would
And things are well here in room 28
God I hope you're doin' good

There's a picture in my wallet that I look at sometimes
It sends chills through my bones
For long lost love or whatever you wanna call it
Whoa, but it left me all alone

Where do I fit in the picture
Or do I really fit at all
Or have I become a fixture
On an old forgotten wall
On an old forgotten wall

Live Until I Die lyrics - Clay Walker

Skippin' rocks, skippin' rope
Laughin' at all my best friends jokes
Things I loved when I was a kid

Muddy roads, muddy feet
I didn't live on no blacktop street
Things have changed a lot but I never did

And I don't wanna think about tomorrow
I don't need anything money can buy
I don't have to beg, steal or borrow
I just wanna live until I die

Livin' right, livin' in this
Little old town I grew up in
But I still held on to my dreams

Standin' proud, standin' tall
Standin' smack dab in the middle of it all
I don't worry about things that I can't change

And I don't wanna think about tomorrow
I don't need anything money can buy
I don't have to beg, steal or borrow
I just wanna live until I die

And everything around me
Are things I dearly love
And every night I get on my knees
And thank the Lord above

And I don't have to think about tomorrow
I don't need anything money can buy
I don't have to beg, steal or borrow
I just wanna live until I die
I don't have to beg, steal or borrow
I just wanna live until I die

I Don't Know How Love Starts lyrics - Clay Walker

Maybe it's the glance from across the room
Or a hint of just the right perfume
Suddenly two strangers become friends

I don't know how love starts
But I sure know how it ends

A few angry words you just can't take back
Cold bitter tears as a suitcase is packed
Next thing you know you're back to being strangers again

I don't know how love starts
But I sure know how it ends

Maybe it's the way she says your name
And no one else's touch feels quite the same
Suddenly you find you're fallin' in

I don't know how love starts
But I sure know how it ends

A few angry words you just can't take back
Cold bitter tears as a suitcase is packed
Love comes and goes but don't ask me why or when

I don't know how love starts
But I sure know how it ends

No, I don't know how love starts
But I sure know how it ends

Right Now lyrics - Clay Walker

We could keep texting all night on the telephone
Keep on pretending like we're not alone
We could lock down the plans about seeing that cover band playing on Friday night
But all that waiting 'round
Just to see you later now
Seems like a waste of time

Gotta see you right now, right now
Don't waste another minute
Start your car and get on in it
Right now, right now
And head on straight to me
I want to see headlights turning in my drive
Girl it won't take you no time
You wouldn't believe just, how much I need ya
I gotta see ya
Right now

You don't need to mess around putting up your pretty hair
You're only gonna let it fall down when you get here
So throw on some blue jeans, any old colored tee
Turn the key and hit the gas
If the lights are flashing too much, baby find a shortcut
Anything to get you here fast

Girl I need you right now, right now
Don't waste another minute
Start your car and get on in it
Right now, right now
And head on straight to me
I want to see headlights turning in my drive
Girl it won't take you no time
You wouldn't believe just, how much I need ya
I gotta see ya
Right now

We can get a little moonlight shining through the windows
Spin a little vinyl, dance a little too slow
Stay on the line so I know that you're getting close

Girl I need you right now, right now
Don't waste another minute
Right now, right now
And head on straight to me
I want to see headlights turning in my drive
Girl it won't take you no time
You wouldn't believe just how much I need ya
I gotta see ya, right now.

Girl I need you right now.
