New Song Lyrics 2

Still Here
We met on the road, while filling in with the band, you had a wild side that I didn’t understand
During that tour we were always together, couldn’t stay away from you, we needed each other
When the tour was over, you left without a word, you were just having some fun, is what I heard

(chorus)
And I’m still here not waiting for you, still here not feeling blue
I’m still here not losing hope, still here not at the end of my rope
I’m still here not crying any tears, still here not needing you near

Soon I went off with another band to sing, hoping not to run into you, in this musical ring
I found my love again, being back on the road, making sure a smile is all that showed
By the time I got home, I didn’t miss you anymore, I know now, I never needed you to soar

(chorus)
And I’m still here not waiting for you, still here not feeling blue
I’m still here not losing hope, still here not at the end of my rope
I’m still here not crying any tears, still here not needing you near

Elevator ride
What a wild ride, the past few years have been, often wonder if it’s real.
It seems like only yesterday, I thought being single was a sweet deal.
I played when I wanted, stayed alone when I needed and never had to feel.
Clubs and parties, a date here and there, my freedom had a thrilling appeal.

(chorus)
I pressed the up button and heard someone say, “Hold the door, please”
She smiled at me and pressed seven, all I could was stare and hope she doesn’t see
As the doors closed, there she was, workout clothes, ponytail and no make up
The elevator ride to the seventh floor made me feel like a boy, a little love struck

That day, three years ago, changed my life girl, tomorrow we say I do
Clubs and parties and quiet nights at home, I now get spend with you
That elevator ride was more than a lift up, that day you came to my rescue
I was on my own, nothing to tie me down and now I’m part of something new

(chorus)
I pressed the up button and heard someone say, “Hold the door, please”
She smiled at me and pressed seven, all I could was stare and hope she doesn’t see
As the doors closed, there she was, workout clothes, ponytail and no make up
The elevator ride to the seventh floor made me feel like a boy, a little love struck

(ending short chorus)
As the doors slowly closed, I heard the preacher say, “You may kiss the bride”
This elevator ride to the seventh floor is our first one as husband and wife

Same Club, Same Time
The work day is done, the weekend is here and he’s ready to play
Got his cowboy boots on, his truck is clean and he’s on his way
He’s reminded of her by a song playing on the radio
Tonight’s the night he’s going to talk to her, he’s ready to go

(chorus)
It’s Friday night and they are here again, same club, same time
They watch each other from across the room
He’s going to talk to her, after he downs his vodka and lime
He moves through the crowd and sees her waiting there, alone

She left work early, hair date with her girls, ready for the fun to begin
Jeans fit just right, hair and nails shine and her boots ready for dancin’
She hoped he would show, she even told her friends to leave her
Her cowboy comes through the door and lookin’ fine, as ever

(chorus)
It’s Friday night and they are here again, same club, same time
They watch each other from across the room
She sees him throw back his drink and head down that line
She tosses back her hair as he walks up and sits on the stool

(repeat chorus)
It’s Friday night and they are here again, same club, same time
They watch each other from across the room
They talked for a while, went to a small diner and talked all night
It’s Friday night and they walk in together, not alone

My Wretched Soul
Why does life have to be so hard? Why do I have too care so much?
It’s falling down like a house of cards. Always feels like I’m out of touch.
Am I really living a sad country song? Seems each day brings in new pain.
Why has everything been going wrong? I need the sun and a break from the rain.

(chorus)
My job is gone and my heart has been broke, I’ve become the punchline for all the jokes
Had to put my dog down because she got too old, I look like hell is what I’ve been told
Maybe a long, lonely thinking hard stroll, Will do some good for my wretched soul

My real close friends are all now gone. They look down on me with angel wings.
Tomorrow comes and life goes on. I have high hopes for what life brings.
I don’t like being this far down. So I stand up tall and have some faith.
I don’t want to stay here on the ground. So I’m praying for a north bound train.

(chorus)
My job is gone and my heart has been broke, I’ve become the punchline for all the jokes
Had to put my dog down because she got too old, I’m starting to look like hell is what I’ve been told
Maybe a long, lonely thinking hard stroll, Will do some good for my wretched soul
