Too Far Gone

Catherine Britt Too Far Gone Lyrics
1.Swinging Door

You've got your Texas way of walking
You've got your sexy way of talking
I let you get all under my skin
But now your welcome has worn awful thin
And so, now, it's time you go
Don't come back again

Cause your train don't stop here any more
I ain't your gas-up, rest-stop swinging door
You can't just walk in
Walk out like so many times before
I ain't your swinging door

You've got a girl in every cow town
You think I don't know how you cad around
I let your sweet talk in, my guard down
Took me a while to figure you out
But I've got you
Figured all out now

And your train don't stop here any more
I ain't your gas-up, rest-stop swinging door
You can't just drop in
Drop out like so many times before
I ain't your swinging door

You'd best make up your mind
Cause if you go
You ain't coming back this time

Your train don't stop here any more
I ain't your quick-stop, lock up, open twenty-four
You can't just drop in, drop out
Treat me like your candy store

Cause your train don't stop here any more
I ain't your gas-up, rest-stop swinging door
You can't just walk in
Walk out like so many times before
I ain't your swinging door
I ain't your swinging door


2.Wrapped

I didn't have to turn my head whenever you walked in
The only one to let these chills roll down my skin
My heart beats faster when I hear your name
And I feel my confidence slipping away

Thought I was doing fine
About to get you off my mind
I see your face and then I'm wrapped
Around your pretty little finger again

It feels like ages since you laid down in my arms
See no good reason, I'm tangled in your charm
My God, your smiling and you catch my eye
Well, my heart is pounding deep inside

Thought I was doing fine
About to get you off my mind
And I see your face and then I'm wrapped
Around your pretty little finger again

Ain't gonna let no man go down without a fight
Cause my stones and walls look better in the bright daylight
My heart beats faster, I call your name
And I feel my confidence slipping away

Oh, thought I was doing fine
About to get you off my mind
And I see your face and then I'm wrapped
Around your pretty little finger again
Your finger again


3.Too Far Gone

I know there's music playing
I can hear it in my head
I can see you lying on your bed
I can see Mom in the kitchen
The smell of coffee in the air
Wishing that her little girl was there

But I'm too far gone
Trying to make it on my own
I guess I could turn around
And come back home
But I'm too far gone

You never tried to stop me from following my dream
Though it took me half way round the world, it seems
There's all this talk and promises for better days to come
And it sounds so good, it keeps me hanging on

But I'm too far gone
Trying to make it on my own
I guess I could turn around
And come back home
But I'm too far gone

Sometimes at night my heart cries out for you
And I wonder if you hear me when I do

But I'm too far gone
Trying to make it on my own
I guess I could turn around
And come back home
But I'm too far gone
Yes, I'm too far gone


4.Upside Of Being Down

I don't have to put on make up,
I don't have to do my hair.
An'd when I open up that Hagen Dazz,
Well, I don't have to share.
An' there's no one there to notice,
If I gain a couple pounds:
An' that's the upside of bein' down.

Well, I've got twice the closet space,
That I can fill up with new shoes.
And I can paint the bedroom pretty pink,
With lacy curtains if I choose.
An' I won't have to deal with fishin' gear,
Muddy boots laying round;
That's the upside of being down.

Days when I'm feelin' low, yeah, I got 'em:
When my tears won't stop fallin' to the ground.
But there's only one place left to go when you're at the bottom,
An' that's the upside of being down.

I can let my dog jump on the bed,
An' curl up next to me at night.
An' I don't have to lose an argument,
'Cause now I'm always right.
An' I can dance with who I want to,
When I go out on the town:
An' that's the upside of being down.

Days when I'm feelin' low, yeah, I got 'em:
When my tears won't stop fallin' to the ground.
But there's only one place left to go when you're at the bottom,
An' that's the upside of being down.

Yeah, that's the upside of being down.


5.New Pair Of Shoes

I'm gonna buy me a new pair of shoes
Lace em up tight, and walk out on you
I'm going down town before this day is through
And I'm gonna buy me a new pair of shoes

I've been saving nickels and dimes
Waiting for just the right time
And I woke up this morning
With a pocket of change

So I'm gonna buy me a new pair of shoes
Lace em up tight, and walk out on you
I'm going down town before this day is through
And I'm gonna buy me a new pair of shoes

We've worn that good feeling out
Tore down everything but the house
And someone's gotta to do
Something about you and me

So I'm gonna buy me a new pair of shoes
Lace em up tight, and walk out on you
I'm going down town before this day is through
And I'm gonna buy me a new pair of shoes

And it won't take me long to try this new life on
I'll be as good as we are through

I'm gonna buy me a new pair of shoes
Lace em up tight, and walk out on you
I'm going down town before this day is through
And I'm gonna buy me a new pair of shoes

I'm going down town before this day is through
And I'm gonna buy me a new pair of shoes


6.Hot Doggin'

Well, the rumor is that you've been seen
Running like and old greyhound
Acting like you're over me
Out there painting the town
And it seems, no matter where I go
Your bark can't be ignored
You show up with a brand new pup
Waggin' your tail out on the floor

Just a-hot doggin (hot doggin)
Just a-hot doggin (hot doggin)
Showing off, making the rounds
Hot doggin all over town

Well, it's clear to see, you got a bone to pick
Ever since I threw you out
And I've heard you've learnt a few new tricks
Living in the old doghouse
Well, you stay out late an' you tell your friends
That you ran away from home
You say you broke your leash
Now you're out of the streets
Like an' old stray that's ready to roam

Just a-hot doggin (hot doggin)
Just a-hot doggin (hot doggin)
Showing off, making the rounds
Hot doggin all over town

Well, it seems, no matter where I go
Your bark can't be ignored
You show up with a brand new pup
Wagging your tail like you're over us
Out on the floor, strutting your stuff

Just a-hot doggin (hot doggin)
Just a-hot doggin (hot doggin)
Showing off, making the rounds
Hot doggin all over town

Just a-hot doggin (hot doggin)
Just a-hot doggin (hot doggin)
Showing off, making the rounds
Hot doggin all over town
Hot dog, hee, hee, hee


7.Fallin' Out Of Love With You

You say, I love you
And like so many times before
I say, I love you, too
But I don't feel it anymore
It's just so hard to do
This falling out of love with you

Oh, I know you can see it
When you look into my eyes
Cause I've never been too good
At telling you a lie
And it's just so hard to do
This falling out of love with you

And I can't go on faking this love that we ain't making
You deserve to have someone who loves you too
No, I could go on lying but what ain't dead is slowly dying
And the only thing that's left is hurting you

Well, I wanna tell you
What you don't wanna hear
But I can't stand to tell you
What I know is your worst fear
And it's just so hard to do
This falling out of love with you

But I can't go on faking this love that we ain't making
You deserve to have someone who loves you too
No, I could go on lying but what ain't dead is slowly dying
And the only thing that's left is hurting you

You say, I love you
And like so many times before
I say, I love you, too
But I don't feel it anymore
And it's just so hard to do
This falling out of love with you

Oh, it's just so hard to do
This falling out of love with you


8.I'm Gone

Heard your key hit the lock, honey
It was three o'clock, you came crawling in
Saw you slip your boots off
Trying not to get caught
Coming home late again
While you thought I was sleeping
I was layin there a-thinking
About the way you been doing me wrong
So goodbye, farewell, so long
I'm gone

I'm gone like a southbound freight train
Semi on a four lane
Rolling down a one way track
I'm gone, see you later alligator
Baby, I ain't ever coming back
I'll be a long way from here
And you'll be crying in your beer
Like an old Hank Williams song
So goodbye, farewell, so long, I'm gone

I'm tired of your white lies, stupid little alibis
Shoulda known all along
Well, all my friends warned me
Told me what you used to be
Baby, now I'm catching on
Well, I wrote this little ditty
Just for you an' it ain't pretty
And you can't sing along
So goodbye, farewell, so long
I'm gone

I'm gone like a southbound freight train
Semi on a four lane, rolling down a one way track
I'm gone, see you later alligator
Baby, I ain't ever coming back
I'll be a long way from here
And you'll be crying in your beer
Like an old Hank Williams song
So goodbye, farewell, so long, I'm gone

I'll be a long way from here
And you'll be crying in your beer
Like an old Hank Williams song
So goodbye, farewell, so long, I'm gone
So goodbye, farewell, so long, I'm gone


9.I'm Nobody's Fool

You're coming on strong and I'm telling you, no
Cause that ring on your finger
Says there's someone waiting at home
And she'd never understand why someone like me
Would do her wrong when I know all along
You'd never be true to me

Well, I might be a little younger than most
Girls you hang around
And I got a lot to learn about painting the town
But cheating's a game you never win
So I play play by the rules
Cause, baby, when it comes to love
Well, I'm nobody's fool

You're saying I'm wrong but I know that I'm right
Well, I'm thinking about tomorrow
You're only thinking about tonight
I'm sure there's been other girls have fallen for your lies
But I'm looking for a whole lot more
Than what you have in mind

Well, I might be a little younger than most
Girls you hang around
And I got a lot to learn about painting the town
But cheating's a game you never win
So I play play by the rules
Cause, baby, when it comes to love
Well, I'm nobody's fool
Cause, baby, when it comes to love
Well, I'm nobody's fool


10.Life's Highway

The sun is up, the time's at hand
There's a stir across the land
So begins another day
On life's highway

On city streets, down country roads
Like a stream, the people flow
There's bread to win and tolls to pay
On life's highway

There is hope with every turn
A bridge to build, a bridge to burn
Here's hoping you never go astray
On life's highway

We are young then we're old
Passing through, then passing on
Like roses bloom and fade
On life's highway

There is hope with every turn
A bridge to build, a bridge to burn
Here's hoping you never go astray
On life's highway

Step by step, round and round
Never knowing where we're bound
From the cradle to the grave
On life's highway


11.Poor Man's Pride

Daddy had a chance to go
Take a factory jon in Ohio
The offered him a decent dime
To leave Kentucky far behind

Well, I cussed him when he turned em down
Standing farm, tobacco ground
Tobacco growing ain't no life
For seven kids and a poor man's wife

Money does not mean a thing
When you dream a farmer's dream
He could not toe that bottom line
Sometimes I cursed that poor man's pride
Cursed that poor man's pride

Now Daddy was a gambling man
He gambled on tobacco land
Bet your life every spring
To see what harvest time would bring

Could be drought, could be flood
Rolling dice was in his blood
No matter how it all went down
He's just as stubborn as that ground

Money does not mean a thing
When you dream a farmer's dream
He could not toe that bottom line
Sometimes I cursed that poor man's pride
Cursed that poor man's pride

Well, it finally drove him in the ground
Broke his back and put him down
Poor and proud is how he died
Sometimes I miss that poor man's pride
