It Would Be You

Gary Allan It Would Be You Lyrics
1.It Would Be You

Written:Kent Robbins/Dana Oglesby

It's hard describing a heartache
Aww, cause it's a one-of-a-kind thing
A serious injury and a whole lot of endless pain
If it was a storm, I'd compare it to a hurricane
Oh, it's even got a name
If it was a drink, it would be a strong one
If it was a sad song, it would be a long one
If it was a color, it would be deep, deep blue
But if we're talkin' 'bout a heartache, it would be you
If there was a full moon, it would be a total eclipse
If it was a tidal wave, it would sink a thousand ships
If it was a blizzard, it would be a record-breaking cold
If it was a lie, it would be the biggest story you've ever told
If it was a drink, it would be a strong one
If it was a sad song, it would be a long one
If it was a color, it would be deep, deep blue
But if we're talkin' 'bout a heartache, it would be you
If it was a color, it would be deep, deep blue
But if we're talkin' 'bout a heartache, it would be you


2.No Man In His Wrong Heart

Lyrics:Trey Bruce/Ronnie Rogers
Music:Trey Bruce/Ronnie Rogers

On the inside flap of a matchbook cover
She made me the kind of offer
That no man in a weak state could outrun
I tried to think what a gentleman would say
Turnin' that kind of opportunity away
I tried my best to tell her I'm not the right one
Like no man in his wrong heart would've done

I said no ma'am
Like no man would've said if he wasn't in love
With you the way I am
It could've been easy for me to be a gooner
But something a whole lot stronger made me run
Like no man in his wrong heart would've done.

Didn't want her to think that I wasn't flattered
Her interest in me, believe me it mattered
So I dropped several quarters in the old jukebox
I said I want you to dance all night on me
In a lucky man's arrms
Whoever he might be
Then I hit that door like I was shot from a gun
Like no man in his wrong heart would've done


3.Don't Leave Her Lonely Too Long

Lyrics:Kostas/Marty Stuart
Music:Kostas/Marty Stuart

Well my friend you ask me what to do
If I were you, and feeling blue
I know inside that you still care
You want her here, but she's out there

Don't leave her lonely too long
'Cause she'll be gone, gone, gone
Don't leave her lonely too long
'Cause she'll be gone, gone, gone

You still have time to change her mind
She needs to know, the way you feel
And there could be no better time
You've got to show her your love is real

Don't leave her lonely too long
'Cause she'll be gone, gone, gone
Don't leave her lonely too long
'Cause she'll be gone, gone, gone

There's strangers waiting in line
To take your place and leave you behind
And then too late you'll change your mind
Your heart will break a million times

Don't leave her lonely too long
'Cause she'll be gone, gone, gone
Don't leave her lonely too long
'Cause she'll be gone, gone, gone
She'll be gone, gone, gone


4.I'll Take Today

Written:Kent M.Robbins/Will Robinson

Yeah, she's the one
The one I told you all about
Yeah, it was serious, but it was long ago
She just might walk over here
And give me a kiss for old times
But don't you worry dear
Old times, next to you, can never come close

I'll take today over yesterday, anyday
I'll take lyin' in your arms tonight
Over and above any love, I've known
Memories may find me, but they'll always be behind me
I'll take today over yesterday, anyday

I'd be lyin' if I tried to tell you now
That I never loved her
And she doesn't ever cross my mind
But that was yesterday, and baby, I don't wanna go back
Here is where I'm gonna stay
With you in each tomorrow of my life

I'll take today over yesterday, anyday
I'll take lyin' in your arms tonight
Over and above any love, I've known
Memories may find me, but they'll always be behind me
I'll take today over yesterday, anyday

Memories may find me, but they'll always be behind me
I'll take today over yesterday, anyday


5.I Ain't Runnin' Yet

Written:Jamie O' Hara/Gary Nicholson

I've come to see it's a pattern with me
To make a fast getaway
Everytime I get a little too near to love
Somebody gets too close
The next thing I know
I'm up and gone again
Chasin' the wind and the distant stars above

Ah girl
But I don't know what's been goin' on
Since the night we met
All I know is
I ain't runnin' yet

Girl I can see when you look at me
You're lookin' for a sign
That somewhere in this heart of mine there's a place for you
But I want you to know
When those feelings show
That's what chases me away
But tonight I just gotta stay and see this through

Ah girl
But I don't know what's been goin' on
Since the night we met
All I know is
I ain't runnin' yet

I ain't runnin' away from the love I see so deep in your eyes
I ain't runnin' away and I can't even say just why
Oh I don't know what's been going on since the night we met
All I know is I ain't runnin' yet

I ain't runnin' away from the love I see so deep in your eyes
I ain't runnin' away and I can't even say just why
Oh I don't know what's been going on since the night we met
All I know is I ain't runnin' yet

Girl I don't know what's been goin' on
Since the night we met
All I know is
I ain't runnin' yet


6.She Loves Me, She Don't Love You

Lyrics:Conway Twitty
Music:Conway Twitty

Well, I can see you're dancing every dance with her
And it seems to me you're dancing much too close to her
When you're sitting at our table you're sitting next to her
But my heart knows that it's true that she loves me, she don't
love you

Well let me tell you friend I'm wise to your lies
Even telling me that I'm the guy for her
And every little thing that you do and say
Has given me the way you're in love with her

Well just one more dance with her
And friend you're gonna see
What it's like to hit the floor
And do a little dance with me
So here's your coat and here's your hat
I think you'd better leave
'Cause she just told me it's true
She loves me, she don't love you

Well let me tell you friend I'm wise to your lies
Even telling me that I'm the guy for her
And every little thing that you do and say
Has given me the way you're in love with her

Well just one more dance with her
And friend you're gonna see
What it's like to hit the floor
And do a little dance with me
So here's your coat and here's your hat
I think you'd better leave
'Cause she just told me it's true
She loves me, she don't love you

So here's your coat and here's your hat
I think you'd better leave
'Cause she just told me it's true
She loves me, she don't love you


7.I've Got A Quarter In My Pocket

Lyrics:Jake Kelly/Billy Yates
Music:Jake Kelly/Billy Yates

I've got a quarter in my pocket
Won't you tell me what I should do
Should I put it in the phone
So I can come crawling home to you
Or should I put it in the jukebox
And play another heartbreak song
I'm leaning towards the latter
And I really hate being alone

Gonna flip it in the air
Gonna watch it fly
If it's heads I might love again
If it's tails I'll cry

I've got a quarter in my pocket
Won't you tell me what I should do
Should I put it in the phone
So I can come crawling home to you
Or should I put it in the jukebox
And play another heartbreak song
I'm leaning towards the latter
And I really hate being alone

Here I am again
On the same ol' stool
With the same ol' question
And the mind of a fool

I've got a quarter in my pocket
Won't you tell me what I should do
Should I put it in the phone
So I can come crawling home to you
Or should I put it in the jukebox
And play another heartbreak song
I'm leaning towards the latter
And I really hate being alone

Well I've got a quarter in my pocket
And I really hate being alone


8.Baby I Will

Written:Jake Kelly/Gary Allan/Odie Blackman

If he don't dream 'bout you night after night
If you don't think that he's treatin' you right
If he don't worship the ground that you walk on
It's easy to see somethin's wrong

I can't stand to see you cry
Over love that just ain't real
If he don't love you
Baby I will

If he don't whisper sweet words in your ear
Things a good woman loves to hear
Why can't you see what he's puttin' you through
How long can your heart beat feelin' so blue

I can't stand to see you cry
Over love that just ain't real
If he don't love you
Baby I will
Baby I will

I can't stand to see you cry
Over love that just ain't real
If he don't love you
Baby I will
Baby I will
Baby I will


9.Red Lips, Blue Eyes, Little White Lies

Lyrics:Kostas/Brent Moyer
Music:Kostas/Brent Moyer

Red lips, blue eyes and little white lies
Oh darlin' I'm a fool for you
Hey darlin' why can't you can be true

Red lips, blue eyes and sweet disguise
Oh darlin' the things you put me through
Your little white lies are breaking my heart in two

You come around and tell me that you love me so
You take a little loving then you say you gotta go
I know he's waiting for you on the other side of town
Well I'm a fool to love you baby 'cause I know you're messing
around

Red lips, blue eyes and little white lies
Oh darlin' why can't you be true
I'm crazy to love you baby you know I do, yeah

Sooner or later you'll have to face the truth
Little white lies will catch up with you
With nowhere to run and no where to hide
And no one to love you there by your side

Red lips, blue eyes and little white lies
Oh darlin' the things you put me through
But your little white lies are gonna catch up with you
Oh your little white lies are gonna catch up with you
Baby your little white lies are gonna catch up with you


10.It Took Us All Night Long To Say Goodbye

Written:Bob Mcdill/Wayland Holyfield

It only took a minute for us to finally end it
I guess we'd seen it comin' for some time
And it only took one hour to sit and talk it over
But it took us all night long to say goodbye

Now the flame is gone I know
And the ashes have grown cold
And the love we had we'll never have again
But there's one ember left that must have never died
'Cause it took us all night long to say goodbye

Too many tears have fallen, too many dreams were broken
And holdin' on would be a waste of time
But sometimes I know I'll wonder if it was really over
'Cause it took us all night to say goodbye

Now the flame is gone I know
And the ashes have grown cold
And the love we had we'll never have again
But there's one ember left that must have never died
'Cause it took us all night long to say goodbye

There's one ember left that must have never died
'Cause it took us all night long to say goodbye


11.Forgotten, But Not Gone

Written:Johnny Macrae/Buzz Carson

Her birthday came and went without a card, or a single I love
you
On their anniversary she sat all alone at a table set for two
She tries her best to please him, but she never hears one single
word of praise
She feels just like a stranger, in a home where love has seen
its better days

Well he's taken her for granted
God only knows why she keeps hangin' on
'Cause it's better to be gone, but not forgotten
Than to be forgotten, but not gone

Somehow he can't remember, when he's late to even take the time
to call
And even on the nights he's there she gets the feeling he's not
there at all
She's become a prisoner in that big old house where sweet love
used to be
Well, it's not even over but Lord she feels just like a memory

Well he's taken her for granted
God only knows why she keeps hangin' on
'Cause it's better to be gone, but not forgotten
Than to be forgotten, but not gone

'Cause it's better to be gone, but not forgotten
Gone, but not forgotten
Than to be forgotten, but not gone


12.No Judgement Day

Willie Johnson was locking up his store Monday night
And someone snuck in and they commenced a fight
His wife Emilia found him lying on the freezer floor
Now this sleepy little town, it aint sleepy no more
Sheriff Walker holds three local boys in jail
They confessed right down to the last detail
They beat Willie with a bat, He was 70 years old
Then they bought some beer with the six dollars they stole

Well I know my anger is not politically cool
But, brother we're in danger when kids can be so cruel as to
kill for play,
Dear God have mercy we're liven just like theres no judgment day

Billy Haney is the youngest of the three accused
His grandpa got him as a baby hungry and abused
But no one guessed the depth of his emotional scares
Till we saw him on the news grinning like a movie star

Well I know my anger is not politically cool
But, brother we're in danger when we can be so cruel, as throw
our kids away
Dear God have mercy we're living just like theres no judgment
day

Today the headlights lined in the drizzling rain
To the graveyard stretched a five mile chain
And we laid to rest one of this towns sweetest souls
And we barried the peace we know in that very same hole
