Steve Wariner Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.A Woman Loves

Lyricist:Stephen Mark Bogard, Richard C Giles

There is a suitcase and a heartache
She was thinkin' of leaving

But she unpacks and goes back to him
'Cause in her mind it's the last time
So he gets by with a bad lie
And she needs to believe him again

A woman loves beyond her questions
Her heart will lead and she will follow
And dreams beyond her doubts
Even when there's no way out

Her eyes refuse to see the danger
As she walks right through the fire
A man gives himself to passion and desire
But a woman loves

In the mornin' lying' next to him
Goin' crazy thinkin' maybe it's her fault
She'll be weeping while he's sleeping
Maybe one night in the moonlight

She'll touch his hand and he will understand
How it could be, how it should be after all

A woman loves beyond her questions
Her heart will lead and she will follow
And dreams beyond her doubts
Her eyes refuse to see the danger

Even when there's no way out
As she walks right through the fire
A man gives himself to passion and desire
But a woman loves

A woman loves beyond her questions
And dreams beyond her doubts
Her heart will lead and she will follow
Even when there's no way out

Her eyes refuse to see the danger
As she walks right through the fire
A woman loves
A man gives himself to passion and desire
But a woman loves


2.Burnin' The Roadhouse Down

(w/ Garth Brooks)

The crowd is getting restless
It's smoky loud and hot
The band is heatin' up and giving everything they've got
Somebody check the exts
In case a fire breaks out
We're packed in tight
It's Saturday night
And we're burnin' the roadhouse down

Chorus:
We're burning' it down
We're burnin' the roadhouse down
The band is in full swing
And man there ain't no stoppin' now
There'll be nothin' left but ashes
When sunday rolls around
But that's all right
It's saturday night
And we're burnin' the roadhouse down

It's a mob out on the dance floor
And the pressure's getting higher
One spark from that fiddle bow could set this place on fire
It's so cool to be here
In the hottest place in town
Feels so right
It's Saturday night
And we're burnin' the roadhouse down

(Repeat Chorus)


3.Every Little Whisper

It's an old-fashioned feeling
In a world that's gone wild
It's a walk by the river
On a slow summer night
It's the rhythm of love
Everywhere I go
It's the sound of her voice here in my soul

Chorus:
Every little whisper, every little sigh
Every time I hold her I think I'm gonna die
Every time her heart beats I know that I'm alive
With every little whisper, every little sigh

There's this thing that she does and she don't even know
I don't say a word, man I just let her go
There's a smile that she saves when she lets her hair down
Deep in the night there is only one sound

(Repeat Chorus)


4.Holes In The Floor Of Heaven

One day SHY OF eight years old
Grandma passed away
I was a broken hearted little boy,
blowing out that birthday cake

How I cried when the sky let go
with a cold and lonesome rain
Momma smiled said don't be sad child
Grandma's watchin you today

'Cause there's holes in the floor of Heaven
and her tears are pourin' down
that's how you know she's watchin'
wishin' she could be here now
And sometimes if you're lonely
just remember she can see
there's holes in the floor of Heaven
and she's watchin' over you and me

Seasons come and seasons go
nothin' stays the same
I grew up fell in love
met a girl who took my name

Year by year we made a life
in this sleepy little town
I thought we'd grow old together
Lord I sure do miss her now

But there's holes in the floor of Heaven
and her tears are pourin' down
that's how you know she's watchin'
wishin' she could be here now
and sometimes when I'm lonely
I remember she can see
there's holes in the floor of Heaven
and she's watchin' over you and me

Well my little girl is 23
I walk her down the aisle
it's a shame her mom can't be here now
to see her lovely smile

They throw the rice
I catch her eye
as the rain starts comin' down
she takes my hand says daddy don't be sad 'cause
I know momma's watchin' now

And there's holes in the floor of Heaven
and her tears are pourin down
that's how you know she's watchin'
wishin' she could be here now
and sometimes when I'm lonely
I remember she can see
there's holes in the floor of Heaven
and she's watchin' over you and me

Watchin' over you and me
Watchin' over you and me
Watchin' over you and me


5.Love Me Like You Love Me

Back when we let the good times roll
You held on to me heart and soul
It wasn't really very long ago
Let's go back again

Reach out and turn the TV off
Slow down and let the world get lost
Slip into something nice and soft
And lie here in my arms

Chorus:
Love me like you love me
Do it like you mean it one more time tonight
Hold me close and love me like you love me

Take all your dreams and shattered hopes
Every angry word we ever spoke
And trade 'em for a couple cherry cokes
Lay here for a while

There are no questions that we need to ask
Every precious kiss could be our last
There is no future and there is no past
All we've got is now
(Repeat Chorus)


6.Road Trippin'

Feed the cat, grab the road map
Put the house key under the mat
Don't forget to leave the kitchen light on

Pack your bags, hit the trail
Tell the neighbors to pick up the mail
The nice couple down at the end of the street
With the pink flamingo 'neath the willow tree

Chorus:
Put your silver key into my cold ignition
Burn a little rubber with me
Road trippin'
Head for the nearest beach
do a little skinny dippin'
Gonna get wild and free
Road trippin', road trippin', road trippin' with me

We're headin' south swerving about
'Cause I'm tastin' that crawdad in my mouth
Cakey cornbread and sippin' on sweet tea

We got the fuzzy dice, the bobbin' dog
The little pin tree freshener and the radio on
It doesn't get any better than this
Pretty baby, how's about a kiss?
Pretty baby, how's about a kiss?
(Repeat Chorus)


7.Six Pack Ago

This morning if someone had asked if you're gone
I would've managed a smile and said we're still hanging on
But if they pressed me I could've honestly said I don't know
Oh, but that was a phone call and a six pack ago

I knew we were fading but I avoided the truth
And for my fool mistakes I had no excuse
I kept telling myself I couldn't break 'neath the load
Oh, But that was a goodbye and a sixe pack ago

Chorus:
Yes I loved you but I lost you now it's all coming down
It's our fate and it's too late to turn things around
I was convinced I could somehow just let it go
But that was a jukebox and a six pack ago
(Repeat Chorus)

I was convinced I could somehow just let it go
But that was a fist-full of quarters and a six pack ago


8.Small Town Girl

Cold city like the eyes in the subway station
It's ten stories to my desk in the smoggy sky
But after five, I'm headed home to heaven
To an easy world

There ain't nothin like the love of a small town girl

Hot coffee and the sound of her sweet voice callin
Country station on the kitchen radio
That's how I know theres still a little magic in this crazy
world...

There ain't nothin like the love of a small town girl

She makes love to me and we're close to part harmony
She makes the city feel like walks in the cool country rain...

No traffic and the sound of the street is quiet...
Fifth avenue is dressed in a coat of snow
No where to go but underneath the covers
Lovers while the snowflakes blow

There ain't nothin like the love of a small town girl
There ain't nothin like the love of a small town girl


9.Some Fools Never Learn

All my friends
Say I should leave you alone
You got a heart like a stone
And a wanderin' eye

And I know that they're right
I can make up my mind
Not to see you again
But you move through my dreams like the wind
It's no good to pretend
It won't happen again
Cause it'll happen again

Some fools never learn
Play with the fire
And you're gonna get burned
It's only love
When you're loved in return
Some fools never learn
Some fools never learn

And Baby I tried
But I'm just not that strong
Guess I knew all along
But that's not enough
I was falling in love

And you don't know it
But I came over tonight
There was somebody's car parked outside
Damn my eyes
Damn this heart of mine
I drove off into the night

Some fools never learn
Play with the fire
And you're gonna get burned
It's only love
When your loved in return
Some fools never learn
Some fools never learn

Somewhere in the city tonight
There's a girl and she's lonely like me
She'll be easy to see
And naturally
She'll have that look in her eye
She'll be feeling that way
I see it all plain as day
Oh I'll never be
What she wants me to be
Oh but lucky for me

Some fools never learn
Play with the fire
And you're gonna get burned
It's only love
When your loved in return
Some fools never learn
Some fools never learn
Some fools never learn


10.The Weekend

Couple of days isn't a very long time
Why can't I just walk away, I used to be good at goodbyes...
Out on the water...under the stars...
I let the moonlight play a trick on my heart

You had some fun for the weekend
But I'll be in love for the rest of my life
You took me out to the deep end
And I fell right over I didn't think twice
I found got something worth keepin
And if I can't have you tonight....
At least I had the weekend

The radio plays the sound of the waves rolling in
the smell of the night sure can get under your skin
Just for a moment...I held you too close
Now I'm all out of time and I don't want to let go


How much can happen in a night or two?
I guess its all depending on your point of view....

You had some fun for the weekend (girl)
But I'll be in love for the rest of my life
You took me out to the deep end
And I fell right over I didn't think twice
Finally got something worth keeping
And if I can't have you tonight
At least I had the weekend...


11.You Can Dream Of Me

Well I've heard it said
The grass is always greener
We want what we can't have
Or so it seems

When I looked at you,
The world never looked any sweeter
I go home to her,
And see you in my dreams

(Chorus)
So if you want someone
To fill your waking hours
With a love that is real,
Baby I'm still not free
If you think you could fall
For a telephone call
And some flowers
If you're dreamin of someone
You can dream of me

When the stars are out
Sometimes I still can remember
The clear September night
When we first met

And through the fall
I never looked at another
Then the winter came
How quickly we forget

(Chorus)

Dream of me
I'll be dreamin of you
I'll never forget how you told me
That your heart was taken too


You said
(Chorus)

I'll be dreaming of you babe,
You can dream of me.


12.Crash Course In The Blues

Lyricist:Don Cook, John Jarvis, Steve Wariner

To a boy from Indiana
Fresh off the farm
L.A. looks like heaven
With its ever open arms

My mama said to watch yourself
Like mamas always do
Daddy said, 'Those city girls
Will walk all over you'

So I hit the pavement
Running down on Hollywood and Vine
I got to town by seven
And I fell in love by nine

She was a California angel
Wearing alligator shoes
She had that something
That a poor boy can't refuse

She was incredible, she was
A crash course in the blues

Now we're screaming down the freeway
In this fancy foreign car
Headed for another party
Never seen so many stars

Just when I thought, I'd make my move
And ask her to be mine
She takes off with somebody else
And kisses me goodbye

She was incredible, she was
A crash course in the blues

Well, she was way too hard to handle
For a country boy like me
She's still a Roman candle
Burning in my memory

She was unbelievable, she was
A crash course in the blues
She was incredible, she was
A crash course in the blues, that's right


13.Gone Out Of My Mind

Lyricist:Gene Dobbins, Michael Huffman, Bob Morrison

Your love just came to visit
Your memory came to stay
It's a shame that being gone
Don't mean you went away

For me, it won't be over
Till the day I find
That one of us has
Gone out of my mind

I'll give up on loving you
Or else I'll go insane
It really makes no difference
As long as there's no pain

I know, it's just a matter
Of misery and time
Till one of us has
Gone out of my mind

Either I'll forget
Or I'll go crazy
One way or another
I'm gonna leave you behind

I know that I'll be tortured
By your memory
Till one of us has
Gone out of my mind
Till one of us has
Gone out of my mind


14.Everything's Gonna Be Alright

Lyricist:Bill Labounty, Steve Wariner

Too little money, too many tears
What can I say, I guess it's just been one of those years
No need to worry what good does it do
Darlin' turn out the light and tell me that you love me too

Everything's gonna be alright, I can see the future shining
bright
Just when things get tight, it's no time to lose heart
Everything's gonna be alright, we can make it through the
darkest night
If we're in each other's arms, everything will be alright

Fires are burning on faraway shores
Seems like the world forgot what it's been turning for
We've got our problems, tell me what's new
Darlin' just take my hand and together we can see it through

Everything's gonna be alright, I can see the future shining
bright
Just when things get tight, it's no time to lose heart
Everything's gonna be alright, we can make it through the
darkest night
If we're in each other's arms, everything will be alright

Everything's gonna be alright, I can see the future shining
bright
Just when things get tight, it's no time to lose heart
Everything's gonna be alright, we can make it through the
darkest night
If we're in each other's arms, everything will be alright

Everything's gonna be alright, I can see the future shining
bright
Just when things get tight, it's no time to lose heart


15.When Will I Let Go

Lyricist:Steve Wariner, Jim Weatherly

Here I am holding to your memory
Like it was made of purest gold
That old flame still burns within me
In my heart and in my soul

I can't keep from thinking of you
What we had was just so good
I can't help if I still love you
I'd forget you if I could

Even the sparrow knows to fly with the wind
And the willow tree it knows when to bend
Even a fool knows when to go with the flow
I know you don't so when will I let go

I think of all we shared together
And it tears me up inside
To really think that it's all over
And I still can't say goodbye

Even the sparrow knows to fly with the wind
And the willow tree it knows when to bend
Even a fool knows when to go with the flow
I know, you don't so when will I let go

I know, you don't so when will I let go


16.On My Heart Again

Lyricist:Bob Dipiero, Dennis Robbins, John Scott Sherrill

You know, I could've sworn that I was finally free
Completely and forever over you
Oh, I was getting along, I even started to believe
That I was finally over these blues but I was wrong and

You're on my heart again
That's the way it's always been
When the memories begin
I can pretend but I can't win

You're on my heart again
I guess that it will never end
'Cause just when I'm about to mend
You start on my heart again

It happens every time, I'll be doing good and then
I look up and see a car like yours go by
Oh I can't help myself, I feel the emptiness again
I've been loving you for so long, I know you're gone but

You're on my heart again
That's the way it's always been
When the memories begin
I can pretend but I can't win

You're on my heart again
I guess that it will never end
'Cause just when I'm about to mend
You start on my heart again

I was wrong, it's so strong
And you're here on my heart again


17.The Tips Of My Fingers

Lyricist:Bill Anderson

I reached out my arms and I touched you
With soft words I whispered your name
I held your love on the tips of my fingers
But that was as close as I came

My eyes had a vision of sweet lips
Yielding beneath my command
I held you right on the tips of my fingers
But I let you slip right through my hands
Yes, I let you slip right through my hands

Somebody took you when I wasn't looking
I should have known from the start
It's a long, long way from the tips of my fingers
To the love hidden deep in your heart
To the love hidden deep in your heart

Somebody took you when I wasn't looking
I should have known from the start
It's a long, long way from the tips of my fingers
To the love hidden deep in your heart
To the love hidden deep in your heart

I held your love on the tips of my fingers
But I let you slip right through my hands
Yes, I let you slip right through my hands
I held your love on the tips of my fingers


18.Leave Him Out Of This

Lyricist:Walt Aldridge, Susan Longacre

We're here in the dark alone, the three of us again
You and me are lying here with your memory of him
You say I've lost my mind but you say that every time
It's more than jealousy
I feel you holding him just as tight as me

I beg you just one time, leave him out of this
Don't throw it all away for somebody that you miss
Wish you could want my love as much as you want his
Make love to me tonight and leave him out of this

I reach out to touch your face and pull you next to me
We're as close as we can get with someone in between
You say I'm dreaming this you haven't seen him since
He said his last goodbye
But I know you're seeing him when you close your eyes

I beg you just one time, leave him out of this
Don't throw it all away for somebody that you miss
Wish you could want my love as much as you want his
Make love to me tonight and leave him out of this


19.Like A River To The Sea

Lyricist:Steve Wariner

You look like you did back then
You kiss me like you did back when
You and I first fell in love
Time has been good to you
I said, I always knew it would
You're more lovely every day

Just like a mighty river runs to the sea
My love for you keeps growing
It was meant to be, it will never go away
It's deeper and stronger every day
Like a river to the sea
You know, you can count on me

These hands on the clock should know
That time just can't pass this slow
When I'm away
But I've got my job to do
Then I'll hurry home to you
I'm waiting for the day

Just like a mighty river runs to the sea
My love for you keeps growing
It was meant to be, it will never go away
It's deeper and stronger every day
Like a river to the sea
You know, you can count on me
