Title
- He said the way my blue eyes shined
- Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
- I said: "That's a lie."
- Just a boy in a Chevy truck
- That had a tendency of gettin' stuck
- On backroads at night
- And I was right there beside him all summer long
- And then the time we woke up to find that summer gone
- But when you think Tim McGraw
- I hope you think my favorite song
- The one we danced to all night long
- The moon like a spotlight on the lake
- When you think happiness
- I hope you think that little black dress
- Think of my head on your chest
- And my old faded blue jeans
- When you think Tim McGraw
- I hope you think of me
- September saw a month of tears
- And thankin' God that you weren't here
- To see me like that
- But in a box beneath my bed
- Is a letter that you never read
- From three summers back
- It's hard not to find it all a little bitter sweet
- And lookin' back on all of that, it's nice to believe
- When you think Tim McGraw
- I hope you think my favorite song
- The one we danced to all night long
- The moon like a spotlight on the lake
- When you think happiness
- I hope you think that little black dress
- Think of my head on your chest
- And my old faded blue jeans
- When you think Tim McGraw
- I hope you think of me
- And I'm back for the first time since then
- I'm standin' on your street
- And there's a letter left on your doorstep
- And the first thing that you'll read is:
- When you think Tim McGraw
- I hope you think my favorite song
- Someday you'll turn your radio on
- I hope it takes you back to that place
- When you think happiness
- I hope you think that little black dress
- Think of my head on your chest
- And my old faded blue jeans
- When you think Tim McGraw
- I hope you think of me
- Oh, think of me
- Mmmm
- He said the way my blues eyes shined
- Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
- I said: "That's a lie"

- State the obvious, I didn't get my perfect fantasy
- I realize you love yourself more than you could ever love me
- So go and tell your friends that I'm obsessive and crazy
- That's fine; I'll tell mine you're gay
- And by the way...
- [Chorus:]
- I hate that stupid old pickup truck
- You never let me drive
- You're a redneck heartbreak
- Who's really bad at lying
- So watch me strike a match
- On all my wasted time
- As far as I'm concerned you're
- Just another picture to burn
- There's no time for tears,
- I'm just sitting here planning my revenge
- There's nothing stopping me
- From going out with all of your best friends
- And if you come around saying sorry to me
- My daddy's gonna show you how sorry you'll be
- [Repeat Chorus]
- If you're missing me,
- You'd better keep it to yourself
- Cause coming back around here
- Would be bad for your health...
- [Repeat Chorus]
- Burn, burn, burn, baby, burn
- You're just another picture to burn
- Baby, burn...

- Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see
- That I want and I'm needing everything that we should be
- I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about
- And she's got everything that I have to live without
- Drew talks to me, I laugh cause it's so damn funny
- That I can't even see anyone when he's with me
- He says he's so in love, he's finally got it right,
- I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night
- [Chorus:]
- He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
- The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
- He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
- Drew walks by me, can he tell that I can't breathe?
- And there he goes, so perfectly,
- The kind of flawless I wish I could be
- She'd better hold him tight, give him all her love
- Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky cause
- [Repeat Chorus]
- So I drive home alone, as I turn out the light
- I'll put his picture down and maybe
- Get some sleep tonight
- He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
- The only one who's got enough for me to break my heart
- He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
- He's the time taken up, but there's never enough
- And he's all that I need to fall into..
- Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see.

- I don't know what I want, so don't ask me
- Cause I'm still trying to figure it out
- Don't know what's down this road, I'm just walking
- Trying to see through the rain coming down
- Even though I'm not the only one
- Who feels the way I do
- [Chorus:]
- I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know
- I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh but life goes on
- I'm just a girl, trying to find a place in
- This world
- Got the radio on, my old blue jeans
- And I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve
- Feeling lucky today, got the sunshine
- Could you tell me what more do I need
- And tomorrow's just a mystery, oh yeah
- But that's ok
- [Repeat Chorus]
- Maybe I'm just a girl on a mission
- But I'm ready to fly
- [Repeat Chorus]
- [Thanks to Krista (leavethepieces@gmail.com) for these lyrics]
- You have a way of coming easily to me
- And when you take, you take the very best of me
- So I start a fight cause I need to feel something
- And you do what you want cause I'm not what you wanted
- [Chorus:]
- Oh what a shame, what a rainy ending given to a perfect day
- Just walk away, ain't no use defending words that you will never say
- And now that I'm sitting here thinking it through
- I've never been anywhere cold as you
- You put up walls and paint them all a shade of gray
- And I stood there loving you and wished them all away
- And you come away with a great little story
- Of a mess of a dreamer with the nerve to adore you
- [Repeat Chorus]
- You never did give a damn thing honey but I cried, cried for you
- And I know you wouldn't have told nobody if I died, died for you
- (Died for you)
- Oh what a shame, what a rainy ending given to a perfect day
- Every smile you fake is so condescending
- Counting all the scars you made
- And now that I'm sitting here thinking it through
- I've never been anywhere cold as you

- I didn't know what I would find
- When I went looking for a reason, I know
- I didn't read between the lines
- And, baby, I've got nowhere to go
- I tried to take the road less traveled by
- But nothing seems to work the first few times
- Am I right?
- [Chorus:]
- So how can I ever try to be better?
- Nobody ever lets me in
- I can still see you, this ain't the best view
- On the outside looking in
- I've been a lot of places
- I've never been on the outside
- You saw me there, but never knew
- I would give it all up to be
- A part of this, a part of you
- And now it's all too late so you see
- You could've helped if you had wanted to
- But no one notices until it's too
- Late to do anything
- [Repeat Chorus]
- So how can I ever try to be better?
- Nobody ever lets me in
- I can still see you, this ain't the best view
- On the outside looking in
- I've been a lot of lonely places
- I've never been on the outside
- [Thanks to Krista (leavethepieces@gmail.com) for these lyrics]
- Seems the only one who doesn't see your beauty
- Is the face in the mirror looking back at you
- You walk around here thinking you're not pretty
- But that's not true, cause I know you...
- [Chorus:]
- Hold on, baby, you're losing it
- The water's high, you're jumping into it
- And letting go... and no one knows
- You cry, but you don't tell anyone
- That you might not be the golden one
- And you're tied together with a smile
- But you're coming undone
- I guess it's true that love was all you wanted
- Cause you're giving it away like it's extra change
- Hoping it will end up in his pocket
- But he leaves you out like a penny in the rain
- Oh, cause it's not his price to pay
- Not his price to pay...
- [Repeat Chorus]
- You're tied together with a smile
- But you're coming undone... oh
- Goodbye, baby
- Goodbye, baby
- With a smile, baby, baby

- Cory's eyes are like a jungle
- He smiles, it's like the radio
- He whispers songs into my window
- In words nobody knows
- There's pretty girls on every corner
- That watch him as he's walking home
- Saying, does he know
- Will you ever know
- [Chorus:]
- You're beautiful
- Every little piece love, don't you know
- You're really gonna be someone, ask anyone
- When you find everything you looked for
- I hope your life leads you back to my door
- Oh but if it don't, stay beautiful
- Cory finds another way to be
- The highlight of my day
- I'm taking pictures in my mind
- So I can save them for a rainy day
- It's hard to make conversation
- When he's taking my breath away
- I should say, hey by the way
- [Repeat Chorus]
- If you and I are a story
- That never gets told
- If what you are is a daydream
- I'll never get to hold, at least you'll know
- [Repeat Chorus]

- It's strange to think the songs we used to sing
- The smiles, the flowers, everything: is gone
- Yesterday I found out about you
- Even now just looking at you: feels wrong
- You say that you'd take it all back, given one chance
- It was a moment of weakness and you said yes...
- [Chorus:]
- You should've said no, you should've gone home
- You should've thought twice before you let it all go
- You should've know that word, bout what you did with her
- Would get back to me...
- And I should've been there, in the back of your mind
- I shouldn't be asking myself why
- You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet...
- You should've said no, baby and you might still have me
- You can see that I've been crying
- And baby you know all the right things: to say
- But do you honestly expect me to believe
- We could ever be the same...
- You say that the past is the past, you need one chance
- It was a moment of weakness and you said yes...
- [Repeat Chorus]
- I can't resist... before you go, tell me this
- Was it worth it...
- Was she worth this...
- No... no no no...
- [Repeat Chorus]

- She said, I was seven and you were nine
- I looked at you like the stars that shined
- In the sky, the pretty lights
- And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
- Growing up and falling in love and our mamas smiled
- And rolled their eyes and said oh my my my
- Take me back to the house in the backyard tree
- Said you'd beat me up, you were bigger than me
- You never did, you never did
- Take me back when our world was one block wide
- I dared you to kiss me and ran when you tried
- Just two kids, you and I...
- Oh my my my my
- I was sixteen when suddenly
- I wasn't that little girl you used to see
- But your eyes still shined like pretty lights
- And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
- They never believed we'd really fall in love
- And our mamas smiled and rolled their eyes
- And said oh my my my...
- Take me back to the creek beds we turned up
- Two A.M. riding in your truck and all I need is you next to me
- Take me back to the time we had our very first fight
- The slamming of doors instead of kissing goodnight
- You stayed outside til the morning light
- Oh my my my my
- A few years had gone and come around
- We were sitting at our favorite spot in town
- And you looked at me, got down on one knee
- Take me back to the time when we walked down the aisle
- Our whole town came and our mamas cried
- You said I do and I did too
- Take me home where we met so many years before
- We'll rock our babies on that very front porch
- After all this time, you and I
- I'll be eighty-seven; you'll be eighty-nine
- I'll still look at you like the stars that shine
- In the sky, oh my my my...

- I was riding shotgun with my hair undone in the front seat of his car
- He's got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel
- The other on my heart
- I look around, turn the radio down
- He says baby is something wrong?
- I say nothing I was just thinking how we don't have a song
- And he says...
- [Chorus:]
- Our song is the slamming screen door,
- Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window
- When we're on the phone and you talk real slow
- Cause it's late and your mama don't know
- Our song is the way you laugh
- The first date "man, I didn't kiss her, and I should have"
- And when I got home ... before I said amen
- Asking God if he could play it again
- I was walking up the front porch steps after everything that day
- Had gone all wrong and been trampled on
- And lost and thrown away
- Got to the hallway, well on my way to my lovin' bed
- I almost didn't notice all the roses
- And the note that said...
- [Repeat Chorus]
- I've heard every album, listened to the radio
- Waited for something to come along
- That was as good as our song...
- Cause our song is the slamming screen door
- Sneaking out late, tapping on his window
- When we're on the phone and he talks real slow
- Cause it's late and his mama don't know
- Our song is the way he laughs
- The first date "man, I didn't kiss him, and I should have"
- And when I got home, before I said amen
- Asking God if he could play it again
- I was riding shotgun with my hair undone
- In the front seat of his car
- I grabbed a pen and an old napkin
- And I... wrote down our song
