You said the way my blue eyes shined,Put those Georgia stars to shame that nightI said: "That's a lie"Just a boy in a Chevy truck,That had a tendency of gettin' stuck,On backroads at nightAn' I was right there beside him all summer longAn' then the time we woke up to find that summer'd gone
But when you think: Tim McGraw,I hope you think my favorite songThe one we danced to all night long:The moon like a spotlight on the lakeWhen you think happiness,I hope you think: "That little black dress"Think of my head on your chest,An' my old faded blue jeansWhen you think Tim McGraw,I hope you think of me
September saw a month of tears,An' thankin' God that you weren't here,To see me like thatBut in a box beneath my bed,Is a letter that you never read,From three summers backIt's hard not to find it all a little bitter sweet,An' lookin' back on all of that, it's nice to believe:
When you think: Tim McGraw,I hope you think my favorite songThe one we danced to all night long:The moon like a spotlight on the lakeWhen you think happiness,I hope you think: "That little black dress"Think of my head on your chest,An' my old faded blue jeansWhen 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,An' there's a letter left on your doorstep,An' the first thing that you'll read:
Is: "When you think: Tim McGraw,I hope you think my favorite songSome day you'll turn your radio on,I hope it takes you back to that placeWhen you think happiness,I hope you think: "That little black dress"Think of my head on your chest,An' my old faded blue jeansWhen you think Tim McGraw,I hope you think of me"Oh, think of me,Mmmm
You said the way my blue eyes shined,Put those Georgia stars to shame that nightI said: "That's a lie"

Drew looks at meI fake a smile so he won't seeWhat I want and I needAnd everything that we should be
I'll bet she's beautiful,That girl he talks aboutAnd she's got everythingThat I have to live without
Drew talks to meI laugh cause just it's so damn funny (radio edit substitutes "so damn" with "just so")That I can't even seeAnyone when he's with me
He says he's so in loveHe's finally got it rightI wonder if he knowsHe's all I think about at night
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar,The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing starHe's the song in the car I keep singing,Don't know why I do
Drew walks by meCan he tell that I can't breatheAnd there he goes, so perfectlyThe kind of flawless I wish I could be
She better hold him tight,Give him all her love,Look in those beautiful eyes,And know she's lucky cause
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar,The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing starHe's the song in the car I keep singing,Don't know why I do
So, I drive home aloneAs I turn out the light,I'll put his picture downAnd maybe get some sleep tonight
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar,The only one who's got enough of me to break my heartHe's the song in the car I keep singing,Don't know why I do
He's the time taken upBut there's never enoughAnd he's all that I need to fall into
Drew looks at meI 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 outDon't know what's down this roadI'm just walking,Trying to see through the rain coming downEven though I'm not the only one,Who feels the way I do
I'm alone,On my own,And that's all I knowI'll be strong,I'll be wrong,Oh, but life goes onOh, I'm just a girl,Trying to find a place in this world
Got the radio onMy old blue jeans,And I'm wearing my heart on my sleeveFeeling lucky today,Got the sunshine,Could you tell me what more do I needAnd tomorrow's just a mystery,Oh yeah, but, that's okay
I'm alone,On my own,And that's all I knowI'll be strong,I'll be wrong,Oh, but life goes onOh, I'm just a girl,Trying to find a place in this world
Maybe I'm just a girl, On a missionBut, I'm ready to fly
I'm alone,On my own,And that's all I knowI'll be strong,I'll be wrong,Oh, but life goes on
Oh, I'm alone,On my ownAnd that's all I knowOh, I'm just a girl trying to find a place in this world
Oh, I'm just a girlOh, I'm just a girlOh, I'm just a girl

You have a way of coming easily to meAnd when you take, you take the very best of meSo, I start a fight 'cause I need to feel somethingAnd you do what you want 'cause I'm not what you wanted
Oh, what a shameWhat a rainy ending, Given to a perfect dayJust walk away,Ain't no use defending words that you will never sayAnd 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 greyAnd I stood there loving you,And wished them all awayAnd you come away with a great little story,Of a mess of a dreamer with the nerve to adore you
Oh, what a shameWhat a rainy ending, Given to a perfect daySo, just walk away,Ain't no use defending words that you will never sayAnd now that I'm sitting here thinking it through,I've never been anywhere cold as you
You never did give a damn thing, honeyBut I cried, cried for youAnd I know you wouldn't have told nobody,If I died, died for you, died for you
Oh, what a shameWhat a rainy ending, Given to a perfect dayOh, every smile you fake is so condescendingCounting all the scars you madeAnd 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 lookin' for a reasonI know,I didn't read,Between the lines,And baby I've got nowhere to goI tried to take the road less traveled byBut nothin' seems to work the first few timesAm I right?
So how can I ever,try to be betterNobody ever, let's me inAnd I can still see you,This ain't the best viewOn the outside lookin' inI've been alot of lonely placesI've never been on the outside
You saw me there, But never knewThat I would give it all just to beA part of this,A part of youAnd now it's all too lateSo you see,You could have helped if you had wanted toBut, no one notices until it's too late to do anything
So how can I ever,try to be betterNobody ever, let's me inAnd I can still see you,This ain't the best viewOn the outside lookin' inI've been alot of lonely placesI've never been on the outside
Oh, yeahHow can I ever,try to be betterNobody ever, let's me inAnd I can still see you,This ain't the best viewOn the outside lookin' inI've been alot of lonely placesI've never been on the outside

Seems the only one who doesn't see your beauty,Is the face in the mirror looking back at youYou walk around here thinking you're not pretty,But, that's not true 'cause I know you
Hold on, baby, you're losing itThe water's high and you're jumping into itAnd letting goAnd no one knows, That you cry,But, you don't tell anyoneThat you might not be the golden oneAnd you're tied together with a smileBut, 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 changeHoping it will end up in his pocketBut, he leaves you out like a penny in the rainOh, 'cause it's not his price to payIt's not his price to pay
Hold on, baby, you're losing itThe water's high and you're jumping into itAnd letting goAnd no one knows, That you cry,But, you don't tell anyoneThat you might not be the golden oneAnd you're tied together with a smileBut, you're coming undone
Hold on, baby, you're losing itThe water's high and you're jumping into itAnd letting goAnd no one knows, That you cry,But, you don't tell anyoneThat you might not be the golden oneAnd you're tied together with a smileBut, you're coming undoneYou're tied together with a smileBut, you're coming undone
Goodbye, baby,With a smileBaby, baby, oh

It's strange to think,The songs we used to sing,The smiles,The flowers,Everything is gone
Yesterday, I found out about youEven though I'm just looking at you,Feels wrongYou say that you'd take it all back,Given one chanceIt was a moment of weakness,And you said, "yes"
You should have said noYou should have gone homeYou should have thought twice before you let it all goYou should have known the wordThat what you did with her would get to meI should have been there in the back of your mindI shouldn't be asking myself whyYou shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feetYou should have said no,Baby, and you might still have me
You can see that I've been cryingBaby, you know all the right things to sayBut, do you honestly expect me to believe,We could ever be the same?You say that the past is the pastYou need one chanceIt was a moment of weakness,And you said, "yes"
You should have said noYou should have gone homeYou should have thought twice before you let it all goYou should have known the wordThat what you did with her would get to meI should have been there in the back of your mindI shouldn't be asking myself whyYou shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feetYou should have said no,Baby, and you might still have me
Oh, I can't resistBefore you go,Tell me this,Was it worth it,Was she worth this?No, no, no, no, no
You should have said noYou should have gone homeYou should have thought twice before you let it all goYou should have known the wordThat what you did with her would get to meI should have been there in the back of your mindI shouldn't be asking myself whyYou shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feetYou should have said no,Baby, and you might still have me

She said, "I was seven and you were nineI looked at you like the stars that shine,In the sky,The pretty lightsAnd our daddy's used to joke about the two of usGrowing up and falling in loveAnd our mama's smiled,And rolled their eyes,And said, "Oh, my, my, my"
Took me back to the house and the backyard treesSaid you'd beat me up you were bigger than meYou never did,You never didTook me back when the world was one block wideI dared you to kiss me and ran when you triedJust two kids,You and I,Oh, my, my, my
Well, I was sixteen when suddenly,I wasn't that little girl you used to seeButm your eyes still shined,Like pretty lightsAnd our daddy's used to joke about the two of usThey never believed we'd really fall in loveAnd our mama's smiled,And rolled their eyes,And said, "Oh, my, my, my"
Took me back to the creek beds we turned upTwo A.M. running in your truck,And all I need is you next to meTook me back to the time we had our very first fightSlamming up doors 'stead of kissing goodnightYou stayed outside,'Till the morning light,Oh, my, my, my
A few years have gone and come aroundWe 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 aisleOur whole town came,And our mama's criedYou said, "I do"And I did, tooTake me home where we met so many years beforeWe'll rock our babies on the very front porchAfter all this time,You and I
I'll be eighty seven, You'll be eighty nineI'll still look at you like the stars that shine,In the sky,Oh, my, my, my
