Carnival Ride

Carrie Underwood Carnival Ride Lyrics
1.Flat On The Floor

I'm flat on the floor with my head down low
Where the sky can't rain on me anymore
Don't knock on my door 'cause I won't come
I'm hidin' from the storm 'til the damage gets done

Baby, baby, baby, baby, tell me why
You gotta make me, make me, make me
Make me, make me cry? Oh Lord
If I told you once, I told you a thousand times
You can't knock me off my feet
When I'm already on my knees

'Cause I'm flat on the floor with my head down low
Where the sky can't rain on me anymore
Don't knock on my door 'cause I won't come
I'm hidin' from the storm 'til the damage gets done

Baby, baby, baby, baby tell me how
You think you're gonna live without my love now?
I don't know why you gotta keep comin' around
Creepin' up my street
Oh boy, you can't bother me

Now I'm flat on the floor with my head down low
Where the sky can't rain on me anymore
Don't knock on my door 'cause I won't come
I'm hidin' from the storm 'til the damage gets done

You ain't gonna get to me tonight
I'll lay right here 'til it all blows through
I ain't gonna raise my body 'til there ain't no sun
'Til there ain't no sun, 'til there ain't no sun to you

'Cause I'm flat on the floor with my head down low
Where the sky can't rain on me anymore
Don't knock on my door 'cause I won't come
I'm hidin' from the storm 'til the damage gets

I'm flat on the floor with my head down low
Where the sky can't rain on me anymore
Don't knock on my door 'cause I won't come
I'm hidin' from the storm 'til the damage gets

Now I'm flat on the floor with my head down low
Where the sky can't rain on me anymore
Don't knock on my door 'cause I won't come
I'm hidin' from the storm 'til the damage gets done

Don't knock on my door
I'm hidin' from the storm 'til the damage gets done


2.All-American Girl

Since the day they got married
He'd been praying for a little baby boy
Someone he could take fishing
Throw the football and be his pride and joy
He could already see him holding that trophy
Taking his team to state
But when the nurse came in with a little pink blanket
All those big dreams changed

And now, he's wrapped around her finger
She's the center of his whole world
And his heart belongs to that sweet, little, beautiful,
wonderful, perfect
All American girl

Sixteen short years later
She was falling for the senior football star
Before you knew it he was dropping passes
Skipping practice just to spend more time with her
The coach said, hey son what's your problem
Tell me have you lost your mind
Daddy said you'll lose your free ride to college
Boy, you better tell her goodbye

But now, he's wrapped around her finger
She's the center of his whole world
And his heart belongs to that sweet, little, beautiful,
wonderful, perfect
All American

And when they got married and decided to have one of their own
She said, be honest, tell me what you want
And he said, honey you outta know

A sweet, little, beautiful one just like you
I want a beautiful, wonderful, perfect All American

Now, he's wrapped around her finger
She's the center of his whole world
And his heart belongs to that sweet, little, beautiful,
wonderful, perfect
All American girl

All American girl


3.So Small

What you got if you ain't got love?
The kind that you just wanna give away
It's okay to open up
Go ahead and let the light shine through

I know it's hard on a rainy day
You wanna shut the world out
And just be left alone
But don't run out on your faith

'Cause sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
Is just a grain of sand
And what you've been out there searching for forever
Is in your hands

And when you figure out
Love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
Seem so small

It's so easy to get lost inside
A problem that seems so big at the time
It's like a river that's so wide
It swallows you whole

While you're sitting around thinking 'bout what you can't change
And worrying about all the wrong things
Time's flying by, moving so fast
You better make it count 'cause you can't get it back

Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
Is just a grain of sand
And what you've been out there searching for forever
Is in your hands

Oh, and when you figure out
Love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
Seem so small!

Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
Is just a grain of sand
And what you've been out there searching for forever
Is in your hands

And then you figure out
Love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
Oh, it sure makes everything else
Seem so small


4.Just A Dream

It was two weeks after the day she turned 18
All dressed in white, goin' to the church that night
She had his box of letters in the passenger seat
Six pence in a shoe, somethin' borrowed, somethin' blue

And when the church doors opened up wide
She put her veil down, tryin' to hide the tears
Oh, she just couldn't believe it
She heard the trumpets from the military band
And the flowers fell out of her hands

Baby, why'd you leave me? Why'd you have to go?
I was countin' on forever, now I'll never know
I can't even breathe

It's like I'm lookin' from a distance, standin' in the
background
Everybody's sayin', he's not comin' home now
This can't be happenin' to me
This is just a dream

The preacher man said, 'Let's bow our heads and pray'
Lord, please lift his soul and heal this hurt
Then the congregation all stood up and sang
The saddest song that she ever heard

And then they handed her a folded up flag
And she held on to all she had left of him
Oh, and what could've been
And then the guns rang one last shot
And it felt like a bullet in her heart

Baby, why'd you leave me? Why'd you have to go?
I was countin' on forever, now I'll never know
I can't even breathe

It's like I'm lookin' from a distance, standin' in the
background
Everybody's sayin', he's not comin' home now
This can't be happenin' to me
This is just a dream

Ooh, baby, why'd you leave me? Why'd you have to go?
I was countin' on forever, now I'll never know
Oh, I'll never know

It's like I'm lookin' from a distance, standin' in the
background
Everybody's sayin', he's not comin' home now
This can't be happenin' to me
This is just a dream

Oh, this is just a dream
It's just a dream, yeah, yeah


5.Get Out Of This Town

Got it all figured out inside of my head
There's a bag packed up at the foot of my bed
You say the word, baby, I'm all set

We'll cover our tracks, tell a couple white lies
Make sure we got a good alibi
And by the time they catch on we'll be outta their sight
Long gone, baby

Let's get out of this town tonight
Nothin' but dust in the shadows
Gone by mornin' light

Somewhere we won't ever get caught
Ever be found
Baby, let's just get out of this town

Don't need directions, don't need a map
If we get lost I'll be good with that
Yeah, we'll find a way to make the time pass

Windows rolled down with the heat on high
Stars all aligned in a runaway sky
Holdin' my hand as the miles roll by
Long gone, baby

Let's get out of this town tonight
Nothin' but dust in the shadows
Gone by mornin' light

Somewhere we won't ever get caught
Ever be found
Baby, let's just get out of this town

If we leave tonight and drive fast enough
All our troubles will be just like us
Long gone, baby

Let's get out of this town tonight
Nothin' but dust in the shadows
Gone by mornin' light

Somewhere we won't ever get caught
Ever be found
Yeah, let's get out of this town tonight

Let's get out of this town tonight
Yeah, we won't ever get caught
Ever be found
Baby, let's just get out of this town


6.Crazy Dreams

Hello, you longshots, you dark horse runners
Hairbrush singers, dashboard drummers
Hello, you wild magnolias just waitin' to bloom
There's a little bit of all that inside of me and you
Thank God, even crazy dreams come true

I stood at the bottom of some walls I thought I couldn't climb
I felt like Cinderella at the ball just runnin' out of time
So I know how it feels to be afraid
And think that it's all gonna slip away
Hold on, hold on

Here's to you free souls, you firefly chasers
Street climbers, porch swingers, air guitar players
Here's to you fearless dancers, shakin' walls in your bedrooms
There's a lot of wonder left inside of me and you
Thank God, even crazy dreams come true

Never let a bad day be enough
To go and talk you in to givin' up
Sometimes everybody feels like you
Oh, feels like you, just like you, yeah

I've met some go getters, some difference makers
Small town heroes and big chance takers
I've met some young hearts with somethin' to prove, oh yeah

Here's to you longshots, you dark horse runners
Hairbrush singers and dashboard drummers
Here's to you wild magnolias just waitin' to bloom
There's a little bit of all that inside of me and you
Thank God, even crazy dreams come true
Thank God, even crazy dreams come true


7.I Know You Won't

I know you don't mean to be mean to me
'Cause when you want to
You can make me feel like we belong
We belong

Lately you make me feel all I am is a backup plan
I'll say I'm done and then you smile at me
And I'll forget everything I said

I buy into those eyes
And into your lies

You say you'll call but I know you
You say you're comin' home but I know you
You say you'll call but I know you won't
You say you'll call but I know you won't

I wish you were where you're supposed to be
Close to me
But here I am just starin' at this candle burnin' out
There's still no sound

Of footsteps on my stairs
Or your voice anywhere

You say you'll call but I know you
You say you're comin' home but I know you
You'll say you'll call but I know you won't
You say you'll call but I know you won't

You say you'll call but I know you
You'll say you're comin' home but I know you
You'll say you'll call but I know you won't
You say you'll call but I know you won't


8.Last Name

Last night I got served a little bit too much of that poison,
baby
Last night I did things I'm not proud of and I got a little
crazy
Last night I met a guy on the dance floor and I let him call me
baby

And I don't even know his last name
My momma would be so ashamed
It started off, 'Hey cutie, where are you from?'
And then it turned into, 'Oh no, what have I done?'
And I don't even know his last name

And he left the club about around 3 o'clock in the mornin'
His Pinto is sittin' there in the parkin' lot when it should've
been a warnin'
And I had no clue what I was gettin' into so I blame it on the
Cuervo
Oh, where did my manners go?

And I don't even know his last name
My momma would be so ashamed
It started off, 'Hey cutie, where are you from?'
And then it turned into, 'Oh no, what have I done?'
And I don't even know his last name, here we go!

Today I woke up thinkin' bout Elvis somewhere in Vegas, I'm not
sure
How I got here or how this ring on my left hand just appeared
Outta nowhere, I gotta go, I take the chips and the Pinto and
hit the road
They say what happens here stays here, all of this'll disappear
It's just one little problem

I don't even know my last name
My momma would be so ashamed
It started off, 'Hey cutie, where are you from?'
And then it turned into, 'Oh no, what have I done?'
And I don't even know my last name

What have I done? What have I done? What have I done?
Oh, what have I done? I don't even know my last name
When it turned into, 'Oh no, what have I done?'
And I don't even know my last name

It started off, 'Hey cutie, where are you from?'
And then it turned into, 'Oh no, what have I done?'
And I don't even know my last name, oh yeah


9.You Won't Find This

Did you check the tires?
Put gas in the car?
I don't think you'll need too much
Cause you ain't gonna get that far

Did you pack the good times?
Don't forget a map
Just in case the route you take
Isn't there to take you back

You can hold any girl that you like
Fall in love when it's easy at night
But you wake up wondering why
She ain't ever something better

When you're lost and you've run out of road
Find what I already know
In the end close is all there is
But you won't find this
No, you won't find this

There's once in a lifetime
And there's once in a while
And the difference between the two
Is about a million miles

Oh, you might get lucky
While the moon is looking on
But in the truth of the morning
The stars will be long gone

You can hold any girl that you like
Fall in love when it's easy at night
But you wake up wondering why
She ain't ever something better

When you're lost and you've run out of road
Find what I already know
In the end close is all there is
But you won't find this

You can hold any girl that you like
Fall in love when it's easy at night
But you wake up wondering why
She ain't ever something better

When you're lost and you've run out of road
Find what I already know
In the end close is all there is
Oh, in the end it's me you're gonna miss
Cause you won't find this
Oh, you won't find this


10.I Told You So

Suppose I called you up tonight
And told you that I love you
And suppose I said I wanna come back home
And suppose I cried and said I think I finally learned my lesson
And I'm tired of spending all my time alone
If I told you that I realize you're all I ever wanted
And it's killing me to be so far away
Would you tell me that you love me to
And when we cry together
Would you simply laugh at me and say

I told you so
Oh, I told you so
I told you someday you'd come crawling back and asking me to
take you in
I told you so
But you had to go
Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in
two again

If I got down on my knees and told you I was yours forever
Would you get down on yours too and take my hand
Would we get that old time feeling
Would we laugh and talk for hours
The way we did when our love first began
Would you tell me that you miss me too
And that you've been so lonely
And you've waited for the day that I returned
And we live and love forever
And that I'm your one and only
Would you say the tables finally turn

Would you say I told you so
Oh, I told you so
I told you someday you'd come crawling back and asking me to
take you in
I told you so
But you had to go
Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in
two again

Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in
two again


11.The More Boys I Meet

This boy here wants to move too fast
He sees my future as havin' a past
Well, I don't think so
I don't think so

That boy there, well, he's playin' a fool
He thinks he's funny and he thinks he's cool
Well, I don't think so
I don't think so

Cheap date, bad taste, another night gone to waste
Talkin' about nothin' in so many words
It's not like I'm not tryin'
Cause I'll give anyone a shot once

And I, I close my eyes
And I kiss that frog
Each time findin'
The more boys I meet
The more I love my dog

Here's this guy, thinks he's bad to the bone
He wants to pick me up and take me home
Well, I don't think so
I don't think so

Cage fights, PlayStation, X-Games and Raider Nation
Oversize pants with an ego to match
It's not like I'm not tryin'
Cause I'll give anyone a shot once

And I, I close my eyes
And I kiss that frog
Each time findin'
The more boys I meet
The more I love my dog

Why can't they be like the ones
That mean everythin' to me?
Warm and loyal, open and friendly
It's not like I'm not tryin'
'Cause I'll give anyone a shot once

I close my eyes
And I kiss that frog
Each time findin'
The more boys I meet
The more I love my

I close my eyes
And I kiss that frog
Each time findin'
The more boys I meet
The more I love my dog
The more I love my dog


12.Twisted

Baby, you're a wreckin' ball crashin' into me
Nothin' I can do but fall piece by piece
You broke down every part of me
That ever thought I'd never need you, baby

It's twisted, messed up and the more I think about it
It's crazy but so what? I may never understand it
I'm caught up and I'm hangin' on
I wanna love you even if it's wrong

Everybody's tellin' me I'm over my head
But they don't feel you're lovin' me
They all say that I've gone crazy
Maybe, but it's too late now to save me, I'm too tangled

It's twisted, messed up and the more I think about it
It's crazy but so what? I may never understand it
I'm caught up and I'm hangin' on
I wanna love you even if it's wrong

Even if it's twisted, yeah
Maybe it's not right but that's alright
Yeah, it's alright tonight

It's twisted, messed up and the more I think about it
It's crazy but so what? I may never understand it

It's twisted, messed up and the more I think about it
It's crazy but so what? I may never understand it
I'm caught up and I'm hangin' on
I wanna love you even if it's wrong

Even if it's twisted, even if it's just a little bit
Just a little bit, just a little twisted, yeah
It's twisted, yeah


13.Wheel Of The World

Love goes out, out like a light, out like a flame
and you can't find it anymore
Just when you think it's lost in the rain
It comes back knocking at your door

It's the wheel of the world turning around (keeps on turning)
It's the wheel of the world turning around and around

God put us here on this carnival ride
We close our eyes, never knowing where it will take us next
Babies are born and at the same time
someone's taking their last breath

It's the wheel of the world
It's the wheel of the world turning around

In the blink of an eye
It can change your life
And it never even slows down
It's the wheel of the world

I don't know what it is
I'm flying high
Then I'm wondering
why I'm sinking on this ship, going down
Life keeps on moving anyway

It's the wheel of the world
It's the wheel of the world turning around
It's the wheel of the world
It's the wheel of the world turning around (keeps on turning)
It's the wheel of the world turning around (keeps on turning)
And around (keeps on turning)
And around (keeps on turning)
It's the wheel of the world turning around (keeps on turning)

It can open your heart
It can break you apart
And it never even slows down

It's the wheel of the world turning around (keeps on turning)
It's the wheel of the world turning around (keeps on turning)
It's the wheel of the world turning around (keeps on turning)
It's the wheel of the world turning around (keeps on turning)
And around
