Where I Am

Tammy Cochran Where I Am Lyrics
1.So Long


2.And More

Lyricist:Tammy Lynn Cochran

I never get tired of hearing your voice
Or watching you smile
The little way your eyes get a little lazy
When I'm drivin' you out

The warmth of your touch
I've never needed someone so much

I don't know if it's love yet
But I'm willing to risk it
â~Cause this feelin' I'm feelin'
Is nothing I've ever felt before

And it scares me to death
This poundin' in my chest
And it's all I've been waitin' for
And more

Every time you laugh I'm closer to the edge
Of lettin' go
And lettin' my heart melt if only for a moment
But it's fear that holds me

It's a fight I can't win
I'm gonna have to just give in

I don't know if it's love yet
But I'm willing to risk it
â~Cause this feelin' I'm feelin'
Is nothing I've ever felt before

And it scares me to death
This poundin' in my chest
And it's all I've been waitin' for
And more

And it scares me to death
This poundin' in my chest
And it's all I've been waitin' for
And more and more


3.Nobody's Home

Lyricist:Tammy Lynn Cochran, Patricia L. Gray

I live in a big house
Designer names with a room to roam
A circled drive, a car paid for
But still I wish for somethin' more

So many people in small houses
They've got â~em filled clear up to the rafters
With big wings and Barbie dolls
Crayola pictures on the wall

I call out nobody's name at the end of a long day
Make dinner at five for one in the microwave
I wash the fork and throw the plate away
Then the light with the timer comes on
This beautiful house I own is nobody's home

Sometimes I just drive for hours
Takin' in all I'm missin'
The picket fence, the kiddy pools
The after work barbeques

And I see kids jumpin' up and down
On a trampoline in their backyard
The laughter's loud, not a moment's peace
And one's cryin' because he scraped his knee

I call out nobody's name at the end of a long day
Make dinner at five for one in the microwave
I wash the fork and throw the plate away
Then the light with the timer comes on
This beautiful house I own is nobody's home

Where this house is now I hope a home will be
For now this front porch mat is all that welcomes me

I call out nobody's name at the end of a long day
Make dinner at five for one in the microwave
I wash the fork and throw the plate away
Then the light with the timer comes on
This beautiful house I own is nobody's home

Nobody's home
I call out nobody's name
Nobody's home
Nobody's home


4.Gone

Lyricist:Tammy Lynn Cochran, William Polk, Verlon K. Thompson

Starin' through the screen door
Out beyond the glow of a porch light
She couldn't sleep again
Looks like it's gonna be another long night

She's tremblin' from the cold
Or it might be fear
She knows the change is come
And it might be near

A car goes rollin' by
She's shocked to see herself behind the wheel
She says, â½I wonder where I'm goin'
God, I wonder how I feelâ

â½With the windows down, this dead end town
And empty love behind me
Free at last, no lookin' back
One day I'm gonna find meâ

Gone anywhere
Everywhere and nowhere
Gone, just pick a dream
Any dream and go there

There comes a time in every life
When everybody winds up gone

Then the wind changed direction
And that car comes rollin' down the drive
Pulled up in the porch light
She heard her voice comin' from inside

Said, â½You look a little restless, girl
Come on, go with me
I'll have you back by mornin'
Knowin' how it feels to beâ

Gone anywhere
Everywhere and nowhere
Gone, just pick a dream
Any dream and go there

There comes a time in every life
When everybody winds up gone

He stumbles out of bed
Awakened by the knockin' at the front door
Lookin' through the screen
At two strangers he's never seen before

We've got bad news for you, sir
She's spun out of control
We did all we could do, sir
God rest her soul, she's gone


5.The Ride Of Your Life

Lyricist:Tammy Lynn Cochran, Patricia L. Gray

There's an adventure in us all
That can lead us from the bank
To the waterfall
A leap of faith is what it's called

It is a journey on its own
Simply fueled by the hardened soul
The paths and uncharted roads
And we don't know where it goes

Close your eyes, hold on tight
Better get ready for the ride of your life
We're on the verge, at the edge
Don't fear the fall, I'll be right here by your side

Love's the ticket, stamp your hand
And stand in line for the ride of your life

Love is all your heart demands
Take this once-in-a-lifetime chance
â~Cause it may never come again
Oh, baby, take my hand

Close your eyes, hold on tight
Better get ready for the ride of your life
We're on the verge, at the edge
Don't fear the fall, I'll be right here by your side

Love's the ticket, stamp your hand
And stand in line for the ride of your life

Love's the ticket, stamp your hand
And stand in line for the ride of your life


6.Where I Am

Lyricist:Tammy Lynn Cochran, William Polk, Verlon K. Thompson

I have stumbled, how I fell
I've seen more hurtin'
On this road back from hell
Than I would wish on anyone

For everything I faced in this world
It seemed the darkest
With the devil at my door
But with time comes the truth

And I've had to go through the worst
To get to the best I've ever been

I thought no one could love the kind of fool I was
No one was brave enough to take that chance
Then you lifted me so unselfishly
You reached out your hands and caught me
It's your love that brought me where I am

I have recovered, I am home
Now I believe in heaven
My hurt's my own, the battle's won
Those demons gone

And I've had to go through the worst
To get to the best I've ever been

I thought no one could love the kind of fool I was
No one was brave enough to take that chance
Then you lifted me so unselfishly
You reached out your hands and caught me
It's your love that brought me where I am

No one could love the kind of fool I was
No one was brave enough to take that chance
Then you lifted me so unselfishly
You reached out your hands and caught me
It's your love that brought me where I am

And I've had to go through the worst
To get to the best I've ever been


7.On My Side Of The World

Lyricist:Tammy Lynn Cochran, Patricia L. Gray

I watched you leave, I cried the tears
And I relive that moment every minute you're not here
And every day is harder than the day before
But I'll be patient until you find your way
To my side of the world

â~Cause on my side of the world
You've got a heart to come home to
My side of the world where all the crazy is gone
When that long road ahead is finally behind you
I'll be right where you left me alone
Holdin' on on my side of the world

Our friends all ask if you've called
And I see their face when I respond, â½No, not at allâ
â~Cause in their eyes, they wonder what I'm waitin' for
Deep inside I know you're comin' back
To my side of the world

â~Cause on my side of the world
You've got a heart to come home to
My side of the world where all the crazy is gone
When that long road ahead is finally behind you
I'll be right where you left me alone
Holdin' on on my side of the world

I hope this letter finds you, then again I hope it don't
â~Cause that would mean you're on your way right now
But, baby, if it does and if you're not
Let this remind you of what you've got

On my side of the world
You've got a heart to come home to
My side of the world where all the crazy is gone
When that long road ahead is finally behind you
I'll be right where you left me alone
Holdin' on on my side of the world
On my side of the world


8.As Soon As I'm Over You

Lyricist:Tammy Lynn Cochran, Patricia L. Gray

I could force a smile
Say at least I've loved for a little while
Consider myself a one of the lucky few

Spend the rest of all time
Dreamin' of when you were mine
Tryin' to make sense of goodbye
Oh, but that's not what I'm gonna do

I'm gonna get up, get out, get on with my life
Gonna get back on my feet
Say goodbye to the tears I've cried
They won't get the best of me

Take back what's mine, reclaim my pride
And find me someone new
I intend to love again
As soon as I'm over you

I won't dwell in the past
I've got a one way ticket, not lookin' back
Gonna travel to a town where I'm the someone new

Start all over again
Bring this heartache to an end
Throw your memory to the wind
Yeah, that's what I'm gonna do

I'm gonna get up, get out, get on with my life
Gonna get back on my feet
Say goodbye to the tears I've cried
They won't get the best of me

Take back what's mine, reclaim my pride
And find me someone new
I intend to love again
As soon as I'm over you

I'm gonna get up, get out, get on with my life
Gonna get back on my feet
Say goodbye to the tears I've cried
They won't get the best of me

Take back what's mine, reclaim my pride
And find me someone new
I intend to love again
As soon as I'm over you
Yeah, I intend to love again
As soon as I'm over you, yeah

Get on with my life, get up
Get up, get on with my life


9.In Our House


10.Highwire

High wire, walkin' with no net
Never knowin' if the very next step
Is gonna take me far or take me down
Leave me hangin' or on solid ground

Should I jump and face the hurt?
Give it all for all it's worth
At least I now I fell to fall
At least I know I chose to risk it all

You love me but leave me confused
Don't know what you wanna do
You say forever but I feel never

If it's a commitment taht you're so afraid of
And I'm out here all alone
Well, I won't be hangin' on
To this high wire for long

You talk of weddings each July
If we look at diamonds, you don't buy
It's not the promises you break
It's my heart each time you say, .......

You love me but leave me so confused
Don't know what you wanna do
You say forever but I feel never

If it's a commitment that you're so afraid of
And I'm out here all alone
Well, I won't be hangin' on
To this high wire for long

Time is your enemy, my friend
Too late's comin', what will you do then?

You love me but leave me confused
Don't know what you wanna do
You say forever but I feel never

If it's a commitment that you're so afraid of
And I'm out here all alone
Well, I won't be hangin' on
To this high wire for long

No, I won't be hangin' on
To this high wire for long


11.Long Way Down

Lyricist:Tammy Lynn Cochran, William Polk, Verlon K. Thompson

I thought I had love once long ago
Just an emotional illusion â~cause it never came close
You left me empty, left me alone
You left me wonderin' if I did somethin' wrong

You said it, didn't mean it
Had me believin' in it
Your words lifted me so high
Now it's a long way down

Words like â~Forever' rolled off your tongue
Sweet sounds but bitter confusion, dreams comin' undone
You left me broken, left me in tears
You left me wonderin' how did I get here?

You said it, didn't mean it
Had me believin' in it
Your words lifted me so high
Now it's a long way down

When I said it, I meant it
I put my whole heart in it

But you said it, didn't mean it
Had me believin' in it
Your words lifted me so high
Now it's a long way down

You said it, didn't mean it
Had me believin' in it
You said it, didn't mean it
Had me believin' in it


12.Chemistry

Lyricist:Steve Bogard, Tammy Lynn Cochran

Sparks were flyin' the day we met
One look and the flame was lit
In this chemistry
Pure and simple chemistry

Right then and there I felt myself fallin'
I heard a voice inside me callin'
Undeniably
Truly, unmistakably

But I'm not fool enough
To call this feelin' love
This is just the wait and see
The findin' out what's meant to be

Chemistry, a temporary insanity
Lets people like you and me
Take on chances and dream our dreams

And we don't know
What lies down the road
But, boy, it feels good to me
Ooh, chemistry

You shake my world like an earthquake, baby
One kiss and I go crazy
And I feel it start
A chain reaction down to my heart

Only you can make me feel that way
Do what you do that takes my breath away
Just one more time
And make it last all night

We'll take it one day at a time
And see what we find
It may soon be love
But for now it got us

Chemistry, a temporary insanity
Lets people like you and me
Take on chances and dream our dreams

And we don't know
What lies down the road
But, boy, it feels good to me
Ooh, chemistry

Chemistry, a temporary insanity
That lets people like you and me
Take on chances and dream our dreams

And we don't know
What lies down the road
But, boy, it feels good to me
Ooh, chemistry

Oh, boy, it feels good to me
Ooh, chemistry
