Suzy Bogguss Greatest Hits Lyrics
1.Aces

Well my old friend said to me
That i ain't being what i'm supposed to be
Well i don't know it could be true
I know i wasn't always there for you

And now you're ready to walk out
You're ready to run
Talk to me can't you see
I would never want to do what it
Seems i've done
You can't deal me the aces and think i
Wouldn't play

Don't let this be the reason you would
Walk away
The things you think i should do
I've never understood that part of you
You know i've tried to be a friend
But you feel underminded and hurt again

Now don't let it convince you
Please don't take it to heart
Compromise and realize
You can never really run everything
You start
You can't deal me the aces and think i
Wouldn't play
Don't let this be the reason you would
Walk away

And i guess i said i could'nt see
How thing's could turn out like they've
Come to be
And if i lied and if i knew
Well i was only trying to think of you

2.Cross My Broken Heart


3.Drive South

(john hiatt)

I didn't say we wouldn't hurt anymore
That's how you learn you just get burned
We don't have to feel like dirt anymore
Though love's not learned baby it's our turn
We were always looking for true love
With our heads in the clouds
Just a little off course
But i left that motor running
Now if you're feeling down and out

Come on baby drive south
With the one you love
Come on baby drive south

I'm not talking about retreating no sir
Gonna take our stand in this chevy van
Windows open on the rest of the world
Holding hands all the way to dixie land
We've been trying to turn our lives around
Since we were little kids
It's been wearing us down
Don't turn away now darling
Lets fire it up and wind it out

Come on baby drive south
With the one you love
Come on baby drive south

I heard your momma calling
I think she was only stalling
Don't know who she's talking to
Baby me or you
We can go south with a smile on
Ain't going to pack my nylons
Just leave these legs showing
It gets hot down where were going

We were always looking for true love
With our heads in the clouds
Just a little off course
But i left that motor running
Now if you're feeling down and out

Come on baby drive south
With the one you love
Come on baby drive south


4.Heartache

(lowell george/ivan ulz)

I'm here out of love and i wish i could stay
But i know you heartache you'll stand in my way
There's no use in wishin' 'cause i ain't satisfied
I'm fit to be a misfit when you're at my side

Heartache find another place to be
I'm tired of being your best friend
Look to another for your companion
And when you do my pain will end

There's nowhere at all i'm feeling no pain
My body is sickly and my mind is insane
I call on you heartache to come show me how
I can't get no lower than this hole i'm in now

Heartache find another place to be
I'm tired of being your best friend
Look to another for your companion
And when you do my pain will end

Heartache find another place to be
I'm tired of being your best friend
Look to another for your companion
And when you do my pain will end

When you do my pain will end


5.Hopelessly Yours

i love you, i hate you,
I forget you, but i afraid to.
You loved me or did you?
I l never be sure.
But one thing for certain.
In spite of this hurtin
I l always be
Hopelessly yours.

From laughinto cryinfrom livinto dyinfrom heaven to a
heartache
I know i can cure
But one thing for certain
In spite of this hurtin
I l always be
Hopelessly yours.

I cry on the slightest of notions
ause i just going through the emotions.

I love you, i hate you,
Forget you, but i afraid to.
You loved me or did you?
I l never be sure.
But one thing for certain
In spite of this hurtin
I l always be
Hopelessly yours.

I l always be hopelessly yours.


6.I Want To Be A Cowboy's Sweetheart


7.Letting Go

(cheryl wheeler)

She'll take the painting in the hallway,
The one she did in jr. high
And that old lamp up in the attic,
She'll need some light to study by.

She's had 18 years to get ready for this day
She should be past the tears, she cries some anyway

Oh oh letting go
There's nothing in the way now,
Oh letting go, there's room enough to fly
And even though, she's spent her whole life waiting,
It's never easy letting go.

Mother sits down at the table
So many things she'd like to do
Spend more time out in the garden
Now she can get those books read too.

She's had 18 years to get ready for this day
She should be past the tears, she cries some anyway.

Oh oh letting go
There's nothing in the way now,
Oh letting go, there's room enough to fly
And even though, she's spent her whole life waiting,
It's never easy letting go.

Oh oh letting go
There's nothing in the way now,
Oh letting go, there's room enough to fly
And even though, she's spent her whole life waiting,
It's never easy letting go.


8.Outbound Plane

(nanci griffith/tom russell)

I don't want to be standing here
With this ticket for this outbound plane
'cause i've been here before
But somehow it doesn't feel the same
Talk is cheap, so we could talk all night long
We may never figure out just where our love went wrong

Chorus:
I don't wanna be standin' here
And i don't wanna be talkin' here
And i don't really care who's to blame
'cause if love won't fly on its own free will
Its gonna catch that outbound plane

The old folks say loves not forever anymore
Because these young people walk away
From love alone, to pace the floor
Young or old i say that love is still the same
And you may walk away from love
But you'll fall head and heel again

(repeat chorus)

Two lonely hearts in this aiport knowing
Neither cares where that other heart is going
But if love won't fly on its own free will
Its gonna catch that outbound plane

Hat crown you're wearin'
Is just your halo turned upside down
Where is the laughter we once shared
Back in the lost and found
These broken wings are gonna leave me here
To stand my ground
You can have this ticket
For that lonely plane thats flyin' out

(repeat chorus)


9.Someday Soon

(ian tyson)

There's a young man that i know whose age is twenty-one
Comes from down in southern colorado
Just out of the service, he's lookin' for his fun
Someday soon, goin' with him someday soon

My parents can not stand him 'cause he rides the rodeo
My father says that he will leave me cryin'
I would follow him right down the roughest road i know
Someday soon, goin' with him someday soon

But when he comes to call, my pa ain't got a good word to say
Guess it's 'cause he's just as wild in his younger days

So blow, you old blue northern, blow my love to me
He's ridin' in tonight from california
He loves his damned old rodeo as much as he loves me
Someday soon, goin' with him someday soon

When he comes to call, my pa ain't got a word to say
Guess it's 'cause he's just as wild in his younger days

So blow, you old blue northern, blow my love to me
He's ridin' in tonight from california
He loves his damned old rodeo as much as he loves me
Someday soon, goin' with him someday soon
Someday soon, goin' with him


10.Something Up My Sleeve

I can't go on, the feelin's gone,
I don't know where
I reach down deep inside my heart,there's nothing there
I know i can't stay with him,
Still i don't want to leave
I wish i had something up my sleeve

I can't give in,and i can't win
'cause she won't fight
She tells me there's nothing
Wrong but nothin's right
No matter what i offer,it's never what she needs
I wish i had something up my sleeve

____
I can't pretend
(she's sorry,i can tell)
I wish i could
(i know the feeling well)
It's just no good
It looks like the spell is broken

My magic words
(it's not working anymore)
My sleight of hand
(we've been through it all before)
My song and dance
If i can make it through the door,
It's over

,-(rc)

I wish i had the power to make us both
Believe
I wish i had something up my sleeve
I wish i had something up my sleeve
